OP, if you like the concept of the game, but are finding it too casual or repetitive, you might want to try coming back in a month or two and see what the modding community has come up with.

From what I've seen on the forums there's a lot of demand for more complexity and difficulty. If the devs are unable to deliver on this, modders probably will.

I played a few more hours using a harder start sponsor in a region where bad things happen. I found that by only playing on the highest speed i could make the game almost interesting for a short time.

But, i am afraid i have still failed to enjoy the game. there are just many many things missing from it that clearly should be in there.

I am glad that some of you are having a good time. I hope you carry on having a good time. your opinions are just as valid as mine and i have welcomed those suggestions for making the game more of a challenge. for me though, the systems are too easy to balance, the colonists are not interesting, the logistics are micro management hell.

i will continue to shout at paradox for publishing this and in future restrict myself to PDX games where they actually have control and are responsive.

peace out

What did you expect writing a message called "I have failed to enjoy this game" except a few people telling you why they enjoy it very much.
I have failed to enjoy your way of seeing things too.
