Thank you for your bug report!
the image you linked doesn't exist; but you can upload images in the Itch.io comment section!
As for balancing, yeah; Due to the Augments being locked in the Demo; I've made trade with NPCs more viable for players to get a taste of other gameplay features that's on offer!
as for resources in POIs, it's an option for Players whether they want to pursue Biomass alternatives for energy generation; as there are more passive/active options available!
Again, thanks for taking the time to write this comment!
