Thanks everyone. zandadoum, tapping with two fingers did the trick. woot!

(Is micro-ing your people bad? I do it pretty much all the time...)

Is there any key combo which can work as an alternative to right clicking? I can right click. But I often play in bed because I can play very quietly with the trackpad and not disturb my wife. The right-click on my trackpad has got a real pop to it, though. I'd love to be able to shift+click or ctrl+click or shift+ctrl+click or alt+click or pretty much anything you want to throw at me.

After a promising start, my colony has fallen in a fiery storm of destruction. After surviving a large pirate raid, Isodora nursed all 5 of her colleaguees back to health, caring for a crippled prisoner and executing an uncooperative one in the process.

But just as they got back on their feet, another band of pirates arrived before they could rebuild their defenses. Outmanned and outgunned, Isodora rescued all of her colleagues as they fell in battle, only to become incapacitated herself.

As the fires at camp spread, she could only watch while the pirates dragged her colleagues off one by one to be sold in the slave trade. The fire brought the roof down, then swallowed up the cripple, then Isadora, and then Castro, the last remaining colonist, alone and incapacitated, in the potato field awaiting a harvest that would never arrive.

Thanks I'll give that a try.

Hi everyone. I'm just getting started with this game. I can't seem to figure out what I need to do to start trading. I've got the comms console built and an orbital trade beacon. But even though I have silver and other goods, none of it is available in the trade window. I'm essentially "broke".

The wiki mentions something about a launch pad and stockpile, but it also suggests that this feature is deprecated. Either way, I'm unable to find a launch pad or anything that looks like something I need to build.

Any tips on what I'm missing?
