this game has British written all over it 

I consider that rather funny! I may be American myself, but I do mish-mash both British and American English together.

it took 8 minutes 55 seconds and 42 milliseconds to load

Whew, down to the millisecond?

You may want to consider downloading the .html file. Since it won't rely on internet connection, it may load faster. Nonetheless, have fun!

I feel like I have to say it, this game is absolutely amazing. The unique charm that makes it feel like a true indie game is noticeable from the loading screen. It incorporates the Managing and "Tycoon' Genres in a great and realistic way. I just wanted to say how much I love this game.


P.S. I love how you can buy Gems for twice the amount they are worth. 

Thanks a million! That's really what I wanted to aim for; an "easy to learn & hard to master" factory builder. Also, the shop people are just greedy, haha

hey there so I just spent 2 hrs playing this game and I enjoyed it! I just have one reccomendation, Infinite ore generation, more items to buy/sell and when hovering mouse over some item in the shop or a machine thats placed, it shows it's function.

other than that I really enjoyed the game

Hey there! It's all good. I am currently enjoying this game very much and I even made my lil sis enjoy it! Thanks for making this game and I hope to see more updates for the game 😁!

I also feel this game should be a paid game since this game is really great! 

Hey I have another idea, so I wanted to see whether a tech tree would work out in the factory and also cloud saves with achievements.

sorry can you elaborate on that?

So for the tech tree thingy, when you make a factory, you can use the money which is displayed near the oxygen, health, etc. On the tech tree. Near the change recipe, you will find something called tech tree button, when clicked, it will display that skill tree looking thing that's found in untitled space program career mode. With money, you can unlock new tiers of stuff and upgrade in the tech tree to unlock VAB like structures.


For the cloud save achievements thing, with my stupidily low knowledge on scratch, I atleast know that you can use Cloud Variable as a form of saving and for doing multiplayer. But multiplayer is not what I am implying. I am implying that you can save world's without needing to export the code, but you can export it as backup if needed but it will be saved in-game. And achievements (in my opinion) should be added (completely up to you). But incase you do add, it's like you get it on the top of your screen for building a VAB or something or reaching a new planet. And when you get the achievement and you quit, it will be saved in that one game save's achievements tab. So like when you are playing, you can click K to open achievements tab and it looks something like Minecrafts. Or atleast you can add the achievement save with the save code that's exported everytime

--------------------------------

Extra: incase you are going to export this to a .exe format, since it is a big game, make sure to export it to electron or nw.js as a 64bit application or else it won't work.

1. Tech Tree: From what you're describing, there's already a tech tree in the game. Just click on the green "r0" in the bottom left corner. It's next to the money/health/oxygen meters.

2. Cloud saves: Not possible. Cloud variables in Scratch are actually more like servers than databases, so if you save your game to the cloud, then other people could access your save. Even if it was a database, Scratch's cloud variable limit is 256 characters, and a Colonizer X save code is well over 80,000.

3. Achievements: Those are actually planned, I just don't have them on the updates roadmap. They are indeed coming soon.

Bonus: If you're wondering why the save system is a bit wacky, it's due to some weird bugs with ""words"" that are over 80,000 characters long, that being save codes. I seriously had to revamp some code in order for things to work. I do want to update that, but as of now it is not possible.
