So I just went into Steam to play and had to download an update today.  No word in the news as to what it does.  Anyone else have any idea?

Man, this unstable branch testing has been a rollercoaster ride.  I really like seeing the game progress so quickly.  I am having an issue in that every time a new build gets posted I have an uncontrollable urge to start a new colony to testdrive how the new stuff feels, especially when it affects the research tree (due to my work I can really only play Fri-Sat and Sundays, so this isn't an everyday type of thing).  I feel like I'm getting really good at the very first part of the game, but am absolutely clueless about the mid/late game stages.

Is anyone else having this issue?  Should I just ignore the new builds and power through with a game regardless of what gets changed?  Love to hear if how the rest of you guys are dealing with this or have any insights on what I ought to be doing to be in a better position to give useful feedback at this stage of development.

Hi.  I am linking the savegame file that saved just before I had the game went from game 3x to 0 (pause) with no input from me.  I had my hands off the keyboard at the time.  The bug happens before the bulk goods trader leaves the map.  If there is any other information I should provide please don't hesitate to let me know.  I'm going to bed soon, but I will be back on tomorrow night around this time.  Thanks!

So I'm playing on a arid scrubland, and it seems like I am getting wave after wave of beavers.  Anyone else notice this, or am I just winning the beaver lottery? The meat and fur is nice, but I really could do without them eating my scarce trees.

So, I'm really enjoying 1.0.  I do wonder what the point of having visitors is though.  Oh, the ones that trade I certainly appreciate.  But the ones that don't?  They just come by and if we want we can go into raid mode and attack them. 

I'd really like it if there were some way to socialize with them though.  Maybe a chat and recruit option?  Just be friends and maybe raise rep with their faction?  Give them gifts even.  I dunno, just something other than "Welcome to our lands, here's a free beatdown!"

Just to be clear, I think this is a small issue.  This is a fantastic game, and it seems to just keep getting better.
