Hey mister, why you didn't update your Spin-vilization game this September?
Sure :)
Focus on 1 way to sustain your population. Don't diversify too much.
If you only know a few combos, focus on discovering more. If you already know a lot of them, focus on getting what will be useful in the current situation.
Don't forget to use the recycle button. It can really be useful sometimes.
The in-game help has other tips, as well as rule details.
