Yeah, those hills were awful. You can get under the sphere things to kind of hold them in place while they connect, but getting them close is another matter.
Thanks a ton for playing and for the great feedback. I'm really glad you like the art.
I'm kinda the same - I only read descriptions if I can't figure it out from the game. I intended for an intro where there's a brief explanation and you get launched out of the ship in your own pod, but ran out of time for that and the more city buildery stuff I was thinking about.
