Pretty fun but the game is way too much on the active side IMO, maybe there should be a way to automate more easily without having to sacrifice that much efficiency.
Also i think research is too slow on the earlygame, with the same problem that you can't research AND automate stuff at the same time

Thanks for the comment!
You are likely correct and the sell automation should be earlier - I actually wanted to switch the overflow autosell and the second storage expander, but forgot about it.
Regarding slow research - you are probably correct here as well. I did a full run on Saturday prior to submission to iron out balance issues and ended up dividing many research costs by 10, but I might have missed that early research also felt slow. Maybe I was distracted, don't remember right now.
The automation+research problem is definitely on me. I increased the base engineer price since you were able to buy them much before being able to actually use them; by doing so, I forgot that it also made the possibility to hire 2 engineers appear later in the progression, and so the parallel running of both systems was delayed.
Sorry, but I'm not going to fix those balance issues now - this probably doesn't follow the spirit of allowing changes after the submission deadline to fix bugs.
