I think primarily I wasn't really sure what a "hot" structure should be. Things like electric furnaces, and the steam turbines being frozen were confusing when I first landed, and they made initial setup take I think more time than necessary.

I do like the heat-pipe gameplay currently, but it makes ...

Yea, I had to set up some alerts for when the Mariah Carey Slough arrives from aquillo, or my Gleba Glop is in stock.

I think it would be more managable with the proposed drag-and-drop research queue, but I do feel like I'm micromanaging a lot more than I should when I'm fiddling with my spaceships ...
