at this stage, probably a dozen times. mainly because i make mistakes and need to fix (ie not being able to research engergy production, not knowing how the logistics system works, etc)

<t> i want to add my voice to this. similar to OP, i often buy a game and tire of it within a very short time (but i'm not very good at more complex games). I have been in search of something that is sci-fi/fantasy with a lot of depth. This game fulfills a need that a lot of other games don't<br ...

I think that is a good idea, just for the initial (lvl 1) tech because i do like the idea that discovery/research is rng

sorry, clarification.
it's only in the last game that i defunded research adn pumped up discovery (but i'd just researched my third level 1 tech)
so i guess i'll have to restart again and try again.

I have started about 10 games and not once have i been able to discover energy production (power plant/ solar) before the choices expand to tech level 2. I've read that one way to do ...
