I beat it!\n\nTook me a while to understand the mechanics. I didn't realise you had to sacrifice a building to power the other buildings, but once I understood that it made sense how to play. I like the keyboard control stuff, but it's awkward to play. This could work really well on a touchscreen, and you could have different shaped layouts that aren't tied to a keyboard. Different shapes would require different techniques for powering awkwardly located structures.\n\nGreat job!","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"boats","author_uid":"1011368","time":"2019-10-08T11:52:55Z","epoch":1570535575,"modified":1570535575,"text":"@matharoo Sorry to hear.

I did create a forestry and then deleted it. Then I had no ressources left and had to refresh the browser. But that did not stop me from playing! It was fun to play overall. I still dont know how you created that many buildings on that many keys though. Doesnt a building on key \"X\" get destroyed once I type \"X\"? It was really cool that I had to think about where to place buildings, what keys I dont need to type the next building that I need.
