You can progress faster to make the game more rewarding and also much harder by focusing on expanding drill fuel storage, the more fuel per game you use the lower you go with your drill. You can also just speedrun maps without exploration to jump deeper. What you ve been doing by exploring each entire map is basically lowering the difficulty by a lot. What I noticed you also do not use external power grid, you dont have to connect entire map with your grid, you can waste 3 pop and a bit more resources to build external power unit which in turn saves you tons of micro to build connected grid.
Looks interesting, always nice to see another TAB-like (RTS Survival). Maybe you'll enjoy the game (even) more when you get past some of the early meta progression!
