Thanks for the feedback! I really should put out a roadmap, but the vision is that you go to a certain number of planets (8 for now) while building up your available buildings in-between to try and maximize money. Still not sure on if you'll be gated between each one or not, or if it's just a race to the highest score possible.
Bureaucracy with no goods in the deck is a valid point, going to mark that one a bug.
I agree with your comments on the energy and deposit costs. Already got a plan with the deposits but energy is going to be harder.
And merged goods are higher value than the base ones, but not high enough to notice? Numbers can be tweaked.
