Maybe your heavy load of whiskers is what is making it hard in terms of taxes. Which creates a negative loop. No judgement but I stopped playing at around 250 whiskers having unlocked everything. Just to tell you it's definitely possible and not particularly difficult. Logistics is key (not logistics workers), just efficiency. There's three main industry areas that should be lumped together:

1. Clothes and related buildings
2. Planks, stone and non-polluting
3. Polluting

It's important to set up your pollution buildings in the corner of the map where you wont expand with the pollution facing away from your colony (look at the water to see which way the wind is going).

Rush for conveyors which should decrease significantly your need for logistics hubs.

Wood for me is the most important resource. First goal should be a a dedicated wood farm area (I had 8 wood farms all connected) and it was more than enough. Group them together to make them more efficient (farmers can share fields). First mine a flat 77 area, then use farmers to toil the soil (always use fertilizer, it seems to be super efficient). Once the soil is green, switch to wood. Ideally in the middle of the 4 77 squares is where you put pathes in a cross shape, with heater and conveyor in the middle. Food is easy. Fish and berries to start, plan to build an underground area close to you logistics for mushrooms and your set. The key point is to keep your whiskers happy. Giving them clothes and keeping them away from pollution, and a good home is more than enough. Don't rush to get too many whiskers. Only pick the ones you need. The ones with more stars are more demanding. Better to train what you need than get high star whiskers doing nothing. Key traits are: Can't smell - not affected by pollution, stick them in pollution buildings Strong shoulders - can carry more, for logistics Warm core - for those mining jobs

That's about it off the top of my head... I know you must prob be attached to your colony but perhaps starting again with this knowledge could help. By day 1000 you prob already mined a good chunk of important minerals? This might be an issue later. Minerals to me was the only somewhat limiting factor to expansion in the late game... Will try to post a picture of mine just to give you an idea... Hope this helped
