Played through twice to the first dome constructed, first twelve colonists on Mars stage. Some thoughts:
- Both times had 12 colonists, but initially only 8 jobs, that's a high unemployment rate and it's expensive to send people there to not work. Unsure if that's poor planning on my part or if better info on what's required by the colony would help.
- The answer to unemployment I thought was to mine for rare metals. Site too far from dome, so built another dome (both triangular micro domes), but couldn't see a way to reassign my four unemployed to that dome, or to provide a link between the two; would be a long, long tunnel. My solution would be to have some sort of even smaller dome or accommodation / work module at the work site; only large enough for say max. 4. Workers would have to commute there, work for ma few days and then commute back to the main dome. Some sort of 'rover' (maybe an alternative use for the 'safari') could be used for such transits, also carrying a few days supplies of food, etc.
- Unclear how to reassign between domes; there is a job for X in the other dome, why doesn't X move there ?
