Thanks for the tip! Things seem to have smoothed out in one colony; the other I've kinda lost interest in lol...

The problem I'm having with that method is that all of a sudden ALL of my buildings stop producing, seemingly randomly. All of a sudden water and food inventories plummet. I can import those items to give the game time, but it seems that the game engine has stopped making the fix altogether. It's seriously taking the fun out of the game. I wind up with a ton of seemingly unemployable colonists, buildings that won't work no matter what I do, colonists stuck in buildings etc. I can't seem to manually hire colonists to anything anymore either.
This wasn't happening a few days ago.

I got the glitch today too... Now many buildings won't bring new workers in, and it seems as though all the colonists that are no longer employed but trapped in their former workplace are unemployable... A fix on this would be great, otherwise I probably write off the $3 investment in an otherwise fantastic game
