Patience is key here, I dislike the current state of the game aswell since some things needed to be put on hold cause of it. But there is little else to do than wait. Sitting in a bar constantly gets tedious after a while.
i think, if nothing else, it might be stable enough to start using restores if colonies do wipe. I can't say with any certainty though.

My hope has been restored, keep this thread updated, please! people seem to be paying alot of attention to it and need to know whether they can build or not.
I'd still like confirmation before I start building from Kaz or another member of the staff, though. Rather not get to work and have it vanish before I'm finished.
