My thoughts exactly, it's cool seeing other peoples colonies!

Upon further investigation it can prove to be somewhat problematic

Now that there is a global chat feature (thank you) it is possible to start an offline map and still receive a message notification when opening the map. Clicking on it will open the chatbox which then cannot be closed as offline mode has no chat box button. It's not a big deal, just putting it out there

I'm not sure if it's a bug or just not yet a feature but it would be cool to be able to click on peoples green names in the chat box so you can view their website 🙂

I'm not sure why they can't build mines though, would make things a lot nicer

I don't believe aluminium miners can build aluminium mines. If your map is out you can import it, the earliest/easiest way to do this is galactic freight or a uranium enrichment facility. Once you reach late game you can import larger quantities and/or build aluminium generators. Trace amounts can be acquired from recycling centres but not enough to be reliable unless you've got a lot of trash and recycling centres

I've been wondering how I can make a region map dedicated to a resource (Usually involves a fairly high population) and keep all of the colonists happy. What are the best types of entertainment and how many do I need for different sized populations?
Is education a necessity? I plan to have at least each stage of school.
What factors go into a colonists poverty and depression stats.
Thanks in advance
