Wow. Thanks for this amazing comment!
Most of your suggestions are already on my todo for the next few updates. For example, the next update (0.1.9) introduces new employees system, so you can apply some employees to factories and then module build speed is based up on the employees, you have applied.
Contracts and orbit choose option will come with the update 0.2.0. With this update the rockets also will have they own requirements, so no more blind rockets build :D
For the factories placing on the earth - I will not touch it in the near future, but someday I will make some sort of company unlock tree, that gives you some options on country unlock and also new launching pads unlock!
To sum up - thank you for trying out my game. I will care about the new players, adding some tutorials to the game.
Cheers,
Denis
