So is this going to be Cookie Clicker, or A Dark Room?

A Dark Room, certainly.  Constant clicking is barely useful past the opening stage.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

hmmmm, You have a lot of resources with tiny maximum stockpiles though. There are a lot of things that should be emptied every 10 minutes or so for maximum effect if you play without a script.

Bug: If you import a save while an astronomical event is ongoing (in the current game that's being overwritten), you can click it for rewards after loading.

Does anyone else assume that the 'kittens' are all cos-players? I've never seen a 21 year old kitten, let alone a live 30 year old cat.

I just assume they measure age differently.

I mean I'm in year 482 and my oldest kitten, who's been around since basically the beginning is 43.

I'm currently operating on the hypothesis that the whole game is one kitten's catnip induced fever-dream.

Since catnip is all they eat (I guess they're basically the cat(nip) equivalent of Dorfs) this could well be the case.

This game is addicting and weird. 

I have to slaughter 2500 unicorns before a single unicorn sheds a tear.  This leads me to believe unicorns are a very unsympathetic bunch and I should probably slaughter more before they get out of hand.   :P

Just.. how. I just resetted after 60 kittens.  :o

I really want that one as a "when". I want "grubs", and "virgin woman" to turn into a dragon. and monkey children to suddenly sprout wings. And I want the Dwarven Mutant Academy to only gain their powers upon reaching puberty. I also have a whole host of odd creatures that only make sense if I divide them into children and adults.

Also, tadpoles.

I think the game broke at one point when I reset. I got the year 40,000 achievement and way more paragon and karma than I should have. I also seem to have unlimited zebra points, they keep on coming. I'm up to 65 now. As far as I'm aware it's supposed to be limited to 1.

It may have been because I accidentally had more than one instance of the game running at the same time, lol.

I have some other achievements I'm not sure how I got too. Like Dead Space.

So... a steamoworks needs a blueprint (even though we invented it domestically?) Where do I get one?

Yeah, you have about a 10-15% chance to get one in any trade, and you can build them once you get a technology that cost like 100k science.
