This game has a complex survival simulation that it uses to a great detail. You can easily spend hours on a scenario and still have only half the tech tree unlocked.

The Good:
- Big tech tree to discover
- Colonists talking to each other dynamically, not just story driven
- Lots of entities walking the map at any one time
- Long term scenarios that you can each play for many hours

The Bad:
- The UI needs to make things a lot clearer to the player. At one point it took me hours to realize I already had 5 farm plots while my colonists were starving.

The "this would make the game awesome":
- A scenario editor! Let people make and share their own scenarios!
- Extending from the above, a random map generator.
