Yes, my beta testors also said that I should highlight more the tutorial with the explanation during the two first years... but I wanted players to figure out by themselves (as you did) what happened if they do not manage the trash properly, to understand that trash management has to be planned way in advance, before it's too late. ... I still have to find the right balance.
I will also try to improve the contrasts after the rating period.
Thank you for the feedback!
