My first play through. I'm about half way to the end.
Just wanted to point out some bugs. Or at least what feels like bugs.

Besides the random crash to desktop, Which I can actually abide by saving every sol, we have...

1. Buildings in domes will sometimes show insufficient power or water when there is plenty. It's in a dome and the building next to it is fine. Yes of course there is plenty of production. Only way to fix is demolish and rebuild it.
2, Colonist will prefer to be homeless and jobless just to live in a dome with 1 more comfort. That is straight up dumb.
3. No fireworks. I saw fireworks on a YouTube video and I said, "what the h##!!, Where are my fireworks!?!?!.

I wanted this game years ago but was holding off so that it would be better... Well?
 
1. Need screenshots to provide help. With the information provided I can only assume you are incorrect and did not actually have enough power or water. One reason you may think you have enough power but actually don't is batteries can only output power so fast. So even though you are looking at your power total and thinking you have some, it might be you are relying on battery power and don't have enough batteries to output enough power onto your grid.

2. Nope. Homeless is an absolute. They will always move to not become homeless. Two potential roadblocks here. First is you are overestimating how far they will walk. Either by thinking they will dome hop or something similar. Get shuttles to solve this. Second is you played with the dome filters and blocked people from moving in.

3. If you didn't get fireworks after the appropriate trigger then I have 2 guesses. First is maybe they don't show on low graphic setting? I wouldn't know and no, I am not willing to play the game enough to trigger fireworks with low settings test for you *shudder*. Second is fireworks have specific triggers. Are you 100% certain you triggered fireworks when you expected to see them?
 
I've never had any of these issues. If there's an issue with power then I either made an error or there was an event that did something to the grid that can be easily found and fixed. People definitely don't take 1 comfort over homelessness without being forced to. And even on console fireworks never fail to trigger unless you turn them off.
