Thank you for posting this. I so badly want to play this game but if its gonna be this hard just getting it started I cant even imagine how hard it will be during game play. Ill end up killing everyone in my crew lol. I was given a pack and received the scientist one but am thinking I should get the other two starter packs as well. I also havent really played video games in ages. I guess I was hoping for an easier start and maybe it get harder while I learn game play. Has anything been happening in this game recently?
Apparently I haven't checked Hive in a while... Just saw your message now.
There is a lot to take in, but you eventually get used to it!
I definitely suggest getting the other two starters, they are worth it.
Things are slowly plugging along. The colonization challenge will be beginning shortly. This phase is more resource and people management and is much less high stress.
Let me know if you want more info! I can't type too much now unfortunately.
