Some explanation - any explanation at all - would help immensely to avoid the needless repetition required to figure out what's even going on. And once you grow the colony to a stable size (after several restarts and a lot of waiting), there's no particular reason to continue.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, a small bug, sometimes the game places a building on a different tile than the one I clicked on, including sometimes on top of other existing buildings."},{"author_name":"trexmix","author_uid":"59937","time":"Dec 17, 2015 @ 3:22am","epoch":1450322220,"text":"Great base, but very very confusing without a tutorial."},{"author_name":"TheMonsterFromTheDeep","author_uid":"45764","time":"Dec 19, 2015 @ 12:08am","epoch":1450483380,"text":"Welp!
