Hello everyone! I just discovered this game last week, and my girlfriend and I have played non stop sense then. we are spending 4-6 hours a day on this game and loving it. its nice because we are both playing in the same room and talking back and forth to help one another learn, however while we are both loving this game there is a ton of things that we have realized that we have no idea what to do! the more I know the more I know I know nothing. so I throw myself at the mercy of this community for help! we are looking for advise and any tidbits or hits that will help in playing this game or even just to optimize the experience. so here are a few questions!
1) I have seen a few posts about mods causing trouble, is it worth it to take a chance on them? if so what ones do you recommend?
2) we have been playing in difficult environments and seeing how long we can last. being new this usually results in a mess. I usually last until winter until something derailed my plans. how long should we expect to last? if I was doing this for a school test how long would I need to last to get an A, B, or C grade?
3) when playing this game what should our goals be? I tend to make it a glorified tower defense game, she does it differently but also doesn't last more than 5 hours or so of game play.
4) I tend to do the single rich person and buy a lot of crap. she tends to get 3 people from the start. I like the technology too much for the 3 people. what strategies (outside of having someone with good building ect) for selecting your colonists?
5) any other things that I should be asking that I'm not?
anyways I appreciate any help or advise I can get!
