Oh hey, you used my friend's idea for different sets of Stage 2 biomes per map! Cool!

It's great to see the progress from version 0.3 to 0.4, kind of like the sense of growth while playing the game itself :)

A minor observation - on the earlier maps, once I get to Stage 3, if I have enough money I'll skip directly to fixing the weather and avoid all the cargo shipping. Which is a shame, I like the cargo boats and the stages of cleanup; I played a recent game and used them just for fun. That might be because there's too much money, but I'm not sure that should be reduced. Instead, maybe gate the weather systems behind 50% rocket completion? That makes them basically a separate stage, though. I dunno, just throwing an idea out there.

I saw a previous person request additional replayability of some kind. That seems like a sensible idea, although I don't know how you'll do it. But, hey, before playing this game I wouldn't have imagined an environmental city builder either. As a random idea, maybe on some levels you have to generate power in other ways from wind turbines? Solar panels? Geothermal vents? Water power? No idea if that's the right direction to expand towards, though, and I love the interactions already.

Minor bugs

- Only one conveyance port can be connected to the rocket pad, which caught me by surprise once on the Peninsula map. 

- For some reason, when undoing a move sometimes the water pumps will spread water out further than before undoing the move. Not sure why or how to reproduce it -  might be related to putting water pumps on elevated ground? 

- If you put a Dessicator on a single tile of fynbos, with no other fynbos within range, the Dessicator is destroyed and turned to ash, but no fire starts. Also, the nearby Solar Amplifier will leave a continuous ray of light pointing at where the Dessicator was.

Hey! As always, thanks for your wonderfully detailed comments :)

Yeah we found that changing the way the tier 2 biomes are introduced really helped the difficulty curve :)

It's not necessarily a problem if you can go straight to restoring the weather if you know what you're doing. It's not going to be that easy for first time players. But we'll think about alternative ways to gate it.

We're also interested in exploring other power options like you mentioned, more on that another time though.

As for the bugs, thanks for those! 

Glad you've been enjoying the game and hope to see you around some more <3
