I revisit this sim every few months to see what's new with it, and every time I do it gets more and more overwhelming!
If I have lots of free time (which I currently don't), I'll typically pear away all the complicated colony stuff you have on the default version and just start out with one little colony. Not only is it easier on my prehistoric computer, but it lets me watch what's going on without being overwhelmed with information.
So, a small starter colony with maybe 4-10 people onboard, and you get to watch them eke out their existence on whatever jobs you give them - plus you can watch their skills develop, see how their relationships work out, and watch them as they go on missions. I think its more fun that way.
Of course, nowadays I don't even know if they'd survive what with all the extra stuff you've put in, but it would still be nice if someone put together a small colony scenario as an alternative to the default.
I'd do it myself, but I have neither the time nor the conviction to tackle all those statistics. Maybe someday I'll get around to adding a structure or two or enhancing the crops listing (which I've started doing 2-3 times in the past but never finished), but that's about it.
