Genesis Alpha One Deluxe Edition

Good, but needs another maintenance release

Pros: - fun experience once you get the hang of it. Cons (require new maintenance release, current release: 147.8763): - some loading screens have incorrect info: - that clone lab can be used to research alien abilities, - that plants can multiply (haven't seen this happen even with 3 gardeners, perhaps with 4 it's possible), - ... - needs "mirroring" of the buildings instead of rotation in the ship-building interface, - reactor room is hard to incorporate into the ship design, - conquering shipwrecks is **HARD** - tens of enemies (~100 even) and they do swarm in starting location, - pirates (comparing to shipwrecks) are easy and quick - perhaps shipwrecks are too hard. - no info about resources in the shipwreck/downed pirate in the "galaxy map", - fairly low amount of "drop" locations for enemies on the planet, - monsters sometimes get stuck on the planetscape i.e. when "dropped" into a rock, - glitches in the graphics - planets/debris icons disappear sometimes (I got a screenshot), - upgrade card is lost when disassembling module with an upgrade, - "attacking" and "scanning" is sometimes switched (first scanning then attacking?), - awareness (IMHO) should highlight "bad" lichen/nests but I think it only highlights eggs producing growth, - needs more achievements (did all of the below - if those would be present): - research all weapons to tier III in one round, - research all clones to tier III in one round, - research (3?) abilities to tier II in one round, - research all abilities to tier III in one round, - research everything (except diseases) in one round, - conquer "critical" mechanics pirate, (can't be done with "low" danger pirates) - conquer "critical" framen pirate, - have X crew of sergeant/lieutenant/commander rank, - needs more achievements (didn't do the below ones): - "unlock clone" per clone type? - start a Genesis without any of the crew getting sick along the way,
