Is there a list of Keyboard shortcuts? There was one to center the window on a saved point, this is a must, if the mouse pointer goes anywhere near the edge of the window it's game over. The game is unplayable without being able to center the view back to somewhere usefull.

Yes, the key bindings are listed in the readme file. 'Home' and 'F' both re-center on the colony.

Why is it game over if the mouse goes near the edge of the window? Is edge scrolling really that fast?
