I played this game all the way in 2014 when I was younger from a flash freeboot site! For some reason I was scared of the game (I think it was because of the music) and I only got to the part where the attackers were introduced, while I loved it so so much. Awesome game.

::Instructions and tips:
* Speed up the game with the [F] key.
* Review how much energy and water a building needs in pop-up menu when you move cursor on building icon. After placing a new building you need to connect it with energy or water if building need any; make sure to connect power lines and water tubes to the right places on the South-West side of a building. If a building don't have water/energy, the warning icon will appear.
* Hire new colonists via "HIRE" button on the bottom-center of the screen. Colonists need food and oxygen.
* Review colonist's needs in the bottom-right corner by clicking on him. You can change the name or fire the colonist.
* Set up jobs for each colonist at "JOBS" window. It's not necessarily, but can make your colony and colonists more effective.
* Order resources at "ORDER" window. Helpful when you lack of oxygen or food.
* Cancel build mode by pressing ESC.
* Rename your colonists by pressing on their names.

This is the third time I've attempted to play this game. Unfortunately, after finishing construction of my water pump and connecting it to the rest of my base with both power and water cables, it did not increase my water production at all. I even built a second water pump and also connected it with water and power cables, but it didn't produce water either. It looks like this game has a bug.
Awesome game; it has a bit of a learning curve but it is worth it; I wish it had more missions. Playing fullscreen is a must. Quick start: build Living Quarters, ramp population to 4, build Personal Module in a good defensive location, under Jobs ensure all workers can Collect Minerals, mark nearby minerals, ramp population to 7, upgrade Personal Module to Bunker. After you have 1 Hydroponics and 1 Oxygen Station, ramp population to 10; after you have 2 each, ramp to 13-16. Plumbing and electrical are expensive; build structures close together and only what you need; electric cables and water lines can overlap. Avoid combat until you are ready; click nearby minerals to mark them for collection to keep workers close to home; if a worker wanders into combat, tractor beam and drop them back at base. Upgrade your Personal Modules to Bunkers to help defend your base; upgrade the Living Quarters with a Medical Bay so workers can heal after combat; click the pirate capsule immediately after it lands to mark it for destruction. Extract metal for the entire game; after a Metal Extractor runs dry AND its stock reaches 0/0, demolish it so it stops consuming electricity. When there are no further places to store Components, the Component Factory will wait, and then the Metal Extractor will wait. The game runs faster when a building/person is not highlighted.
The games Tutorial is not only obnoxious but it doesn't even explain the main mechanics and how to set things up properly.
There is a green and a blue tile on every building, those need to be connected with a power cable and a water pipe, otherwise your buildings stay offline all the time.
Intese
So this was really "INTENSE" the game was very welldone some massive amounts of detail and the "MUSIC" was just right and glad you won a could of awards on this one very fitting I could see this game being improved with much more details and elements and even more fancy effects but overall I had fun with this one.
