I'm trying to update to 0.17, but my install doesn't seem to detect new updates. Downloading the new installer would take a ridiculous amount of time (my internet is super slow).

AWESOME UPDATE!

@InSicK Fair point. I was considering having the workers just as a version of construction bots, but in that case I don't really know if there's much of a purpose. I am thinking about modifying research so that all crafting has to be done either by you or one of your workers until the mid-game, when...

I know quite a bit of Lua, and I am beginning to reasonably understand the game's API. But I'm still not great at modding; I don't have the experience.
