This mechanic is way more fun than it sounds like it is.
It's also really obvious that you put a lot of love into this, with all the different game systems and enemy types.
My only piece of feedback is that the world is a bit too big.
I really want the satisfaction of attempting the boss; but it doesn't look like I'll get there.
If I dumped all resources into roads, I could probably make it; but then I'd definitely die in 1 hit.
If I mined everything on the map, I assume I would be strong enough; but I also assume we lose after 25 days?
So, I don't think there's time to do that.
I'm going to bookmark this one.
Let me know if you update it after the jam, because I'll want to try the new version!
