Clockwork Empires Steampunk game laden with WTF?

[Bletchley_Geek]

I didn't see them hunting any wildlife, I am not sure that was because they were being thrifty about their firearms or because the AI has still to be programmed to consider that as an option.

The work crews have the hunting option turned off by default.  IIRC, it is the second option from the right.  After I set my militia to hunt, they engaged the local wildlife. 

ALL HAIL <won't pronounce that name, just in case>!

Your voice didn't melt my brain or anything, so I have a chance to give it a try :)

I played for about an hour as well and would also classify CE as a 'work in progress'.  I had some errors (resulting in a crash) related to patrol waypoints and also wasn't able to get my workshop sawing planks (despite queuing them up), I had to manually select each bundle of logs and chose the 'plank' option. 

I wondered myself as well what was going on with the production of manufactured goods - like planks. Indeed, we got just a proof that they're for real, let's check it in a couple weeks. Although you might want to check on those colonists sooner, just in case some other deity from beyond stars claims first dibs on them and their descendants!

The forum wouldn't let me register with a ' in my username.  Probably some sort of safety feature to prevent intersection with a hell-dimension :)

Just a quick comment on the devs - I do really like their sense of humor and their transparency about the status of the game and the development priorities.

They do have really awesome standards when it comes to the latter

stuff like the above is simply brilliant: with so much Early Access titles out there, with so little transparency about issues critical to credibility, the example set by Gaslamp Games does really stand out.

This is one I have my eye and may pick up for something different.
