I just downloaded the Project about a month ago. I'm in an extended set of treatments for a health problem and I doing everything I can that's fun! Just found the forums but they seem heavy of development and not actual simulation planning and upkeep... Am I missing something?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I'm glad you're enjoying the simulation. I'm sorry there's not a whole lot of user interaction in the UI at the moment. You can change individual people's jobs (adding more doctors to a settlement, for example), and create/edit missions in the new mission tool. That's about it right now. I'm hoping we can add more user interaction later to allow more runtime simulation planning and upkeep through the UI.
If you are modifying the config files to create new settlement layouts or add medical conditions, etc., please let me know if you have any questions or have created some interesting configurations we could add to the default configurations.
I suppose most of the comments I make in the forums and the development mailing list (the archives are here: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=mars-sim-developers ) involve development plans and ideas, since that's what I mostly work on. I'd certainly appreciate any ideas you have on simulation planning/upkeep and ways we could make program more friendly and useful for that.
