well i flooded my whole colony the first try and was too greedy with the food the second time .. xD
It would be really nice if one of the resources could not be cheated and you as a player would be forced to generate that one with a building (for example the population). Otherwise you can just fill up all values (and not be too greedy), build 10 cold storage and finish the game fast.
Other than that i really enjoyed my time with this game :D
Nice job !!
