Well, err... you see... I umm...
My internet was disconnected due to some sort of "report of copyright violation" (I'm at college, by the way)... I just got that all sorted out earlier today, so... Yeah.
I think it's to late to write an update tonight, but updates should resume shortly...
(For the record, I do love writing this, and infrequent updates are purely a result of unfortunate real-life circumstances, and not a sign of this being slowly abandoned...)

That totally happened to Urist once... Exept it was the retractible bridge over the river... and she drowned... Of course, I just quietly reloaded the last save and no one ever heard about it...

Well, yes- if it had happened during actual gameplay, perhaps- but I had done other ridiculous stuff that was just a matter of testing out how things would work (none of it properly documented/screenshotted). Generally I do try to keep from reloading when I'm actually playing, to keep things authentic... But sometimes... For example, when Urist drowned once as I mentioned above, I just got the "your settlement has crumbled to its end" message... That wouldn't be too fun...
For the record, outside of my tests (including once when I hit the pits... that was actually pretty funny), I've only quit a viable game to reload an old save once- I wanted the immigration wave Melbil came in to have a miner with it to start the secondary fort, and it didn't first time around...
Anyway, thanks a great deal for the praise to those who gave it! I hope I'll be updating a bit more frequently soon!
