I get them too. Makes me giggle. First one was PlatinumOre Jenkins, which made me cackle. I choose to believe he's descended from Leroy Jenkins.

ooh, i like that

Why, after a fire drill, are colonists so unwilling to take existing jobs? They will fill nearby new construction immediately, and occasionally will fill reactivated buildings if they've been deactivated for a while (I wasn't paying attention to the time, but upwards of 10 minutes), but they seem completely disinterested in existing jobs, to the point where i lost all my food and water because nobody wanted to work.

I initially ran the drill because I was seeing persistent unemployment numbers and buildings with vacancies. I'm hoping when I play tomorrow that tinkering with salaries and minimum salaries will help.

Something that would be helpful is a "sort by size/shape" function, so i don't have to remember, say, which building is 3x4 and which is 2x3 and i can quickly find something to put in the weird shape I just created.

I'd love to see more consistent coloration in the building-free zone map. pubs and distilleries are orange which is great but other entertainments are red like production and residential buildings, which makes it difficult to see at a glance if you've got your block set up right.

a "newly available" building sort feature would be great if it could pop right after you buy a tech or hit a necessary milestone. even just a "you have new things available to build," because sometimes you buy the tech but don't have xyz other condition met so you wouldn't look for something that's not available yet.

What it says on the tin.

I built it, used all the resources. I could see it for as long as it took me to click elsewhere, and now it is gone. Anyone else have this trouble?
