Weird ?Problems?
Hello, i recently bought this game and i enjoy playing it.
However i'm running into the same issue i had with Banished (similar game).

I build a base, totally max it out through trial and error (lots of error) and then what? Once you get how everything works the only thing that can ruin your game are intruders or some asteroid that kills some people.

I'm now at a point where i keep having to build more and more storage... Just to keep everything i produce stored. I'm at 334 ppl/285 droids.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature but i'm encountering the following issues:
- People start dieing from hunger while machines are stocked and there's more then enough food and places to eat that food.
- Drones suddenly get destroyed even though there's plenty repair stations.
- Making a priority doesn't seem to work? Let's say i want priority on Lab and even though there's 3 labs, 8 stations and 20 doctors/biologists noone does what i tell them.

- I build my base this way :
Airlocks->storage->Security->O2/Cantine/sleep/bar/etc (When the base is 'maxed' it's like a star shape) and the security stations are manned, somehow 'armed infiltrators' get past security and end up way inside the center of the base.

You would guess that if security is required there would be check stations/identification?
Also i had 5 'lasers' around/in my base and still tons of asteroids get through?? If there's no benefit to these lasers why bother? It's almost easier/faster to just repair damaged parts. The upkeep for the lasers 4.5KW? makes it almost not worth it. And yes i have the observatory.

And then there's the O2 problem, from the beginning of the game i have 0.0 problems with a certain area, then suddenly this area starts complaining there's not enough O2 then it stops for a while and after ~15 minutes it starts complaining again while there's a O2 processor 2 corridors away. I learned early on to build enough O2 and Water/Storage and still this problem occurs.

And this is my biggest problem, once these issues start the game also starts to lag when i try to add/replace a building, people start dieing at random, droids get damaged, and O2 problems start popping up. Once this point is reached the game becomes unplayable. This always happens 'endgame' at the point where you can basically just expand your base.

And it would be nice if it were possible to build on hills, some do dissapear but others obstruct buildings.

You need to build more than one telescope. Also, there's not much point in playing past 300 people, you could try out some challenges and stuff, or get milestones on other planets.
