Is this pretty good yet?

No offense to Simon, but no. There are still some critical bugs with colonist behavior that make it impossible to actually play. It'll be a good basebuilding game once that's removed, but it's also lacking any features other than just expanding.

Thanks for the honest feedback.

Again there's a pretty huge amount of changes in this one. Hopefully fixing most of the main complaints over colonist AI issues! Still a lot to get in.

This is my new favourite gif.

Talking of GIFs I've been posting progress of the LAVA! on Twitter. https://twitter.com/SimoRoth/status/831210969435095041

Looking good! If I've learned anything here, anything is possible with good lava physics.

Wooo! Nothing evokes Dwarf Fortress more than building a magma chamber to incinerate intruders, only to make a mistake and flood your entire base.

The game is progressing nicely but still suffers from certain level of opaqueness. I have guys starving despite having food and it would be nice to know why. Some sort of way to manually toggle order for tasks in the style of Rimworld would be nice.

Yeah more UI stuff coming in 0.61 to make some of that more apparent.

In the meantime hotfixed a few critical issues: http://steamcommunity.com/app/252250/discussions/0/133257636776247573/

Fired out a big update focusing on some of the game's annoying issues.

Still getting so many people complaining of "colonists not doing anything" so a way to go it seems.

I went back to basics and stretched out the day length and then rebalanced from there. Seems like that was actually the game's main issue all along. Just giving them more time took the pressure off and has them doing a lot of lower priority stuff.

Fixed some pretty core issues that the slowdowns caused by smelting and other multi-action tasks like eating at a table had caused too, and the skills system is starting to come into it's own as well.
