Yet another turn with no progress. Apparently, I know even less than I thought that I did, which was nothing, where building up a planet is concerned. Zeroes continue to generate nothing for me, economy-wise. As enthusiasm wanes, such turns with no progress yield no real frustration of note, anymore.
As I soon begin to transition away from trying to issue turn orders an hour or less from the actual deadline, perhaps I will begin to become more successful in my undertakings.
I am receiving some advice, now, although the advice assumes that I know how to actually do what is suggested. I do understand the importance of building up one's economy. Yet, I can't seem to manage to build a mining center or a production center.
My economy is less of a concern to me than the fact that the enthusiasm that I have for playing the game has plummeted to such low levels. At some point, my ignorance on how to play the game, particularly at the most basic and fundamental level, can probably be rectified. Can the enthusiasm decline be rectified, though?
The single biggest contributing factor remains the scattered way in which information relevant is presented to the player via the game's documentation in all its forms. It's just so time consuming trying to flip back and forth, back and forth, and try to remember what a previous page said, without having to refer back to it, again. I really wish that my printer was working. But, with enthusiasm having fallen so much from its initial level, there's no real urge to go and buy one.
The changes that were supposedly made to the input page for the game, I didn't see. The only one that I was looking for, though, was the copy function. Not sure why I didn't see it. Lack of enthusiasm keeps me from caring, though. I comment on it, simply as part of this quasi-diary, of sorts.
