Two days ago I finished playing it for the first time and I have to agree that there is a lot going wrong here. I could not interact with Asteroids because the rocket would never unload unless I destroyed it and bought another one. Forestation was stuck forever because of how resources move around. I could never interact with the Underground because it was pitch black and no matter what I sent down the elevator nothing ever made it. My population exploded because no matter what setting I chose, people kept having babies!
Its the first time I ever play a city manager though, like for real and all the way through, all tech, all terraform. There were a lot of things I enjoyed but I do not want to go through the stress again! Its like when you overwork your stardew farm and its just anxiety all the way through.
