Okay, with the upcoming release of Green Planet, I decided to dust off Surviving Mars and actually learn to play the game.

So having finished four of the five parts of the tutorial, I have a burning question:

Does anyone else find themselves saying things like "Work faster, my mechanical minions!" or is it just me?
 
Yes, but there's technologies that help with that, both regular and breakthroughs (unique technologies you may get in some maps).

If you have Space Race, Japan's drones are much faster than regular ones.

In case you don't know (because I never did the tutorial and I don't know if it's explained there), you can change the speed in the lower left side of the screen.

EDIT: So I just reread your post and I see I missed the point lol, anyway, I am pretty evil to my colonists making them work overtime until they're about to snap before putting them back to regular workloads.
 
No, I watch my busy metal ants silently.

Evil Genius 2 is still supposed to come out even though there is no news.
I'd love to have more games with SM mechanics (pun intended) the ressources system
would work great for a number of games (Stronghold, Tropico, Dungeon Keeper, a Space Station Manager)
and the art-style and performance of the game works really well for me. Any big total conversion
mods out yet?
