i think that donkeys (hehe, that was the original fast transport of settler2, instead of autobahn) are not of much use if you only replace a few sections in the middle of a long road. the start and end of that road mostly will still be a bottleneck when you don't connect more than a single normal long piece of road at those posts at start and end of the fast section. example : what use does the fast autobahn have for tools when its end is connected to the furniture factory only by a single long stretch of normal road and tools pile up at those connection posts (54:46) or the post (at 57:00) that is blocked by all types of different goods or near the tool factories (bottom of autobahn at 55:02), or when two of those fast roads go in parallel to a normal slow road and are all connected to each other on a single point that can serve only as a tiny buffer that is also used by other normal roads at the same time (top of autobahn at 55:02 that is blocked with trees) ?
that concept (posts on roads and transports between them) was always a favorite of mine since i played the original settler2 several decades ago !!! currently, i only know of three games overall that use that concept: Settler2 (original, variants, remastered), Colonists (and DLC), and now this one. *-i have to buy it immediately !-** just bought while writing this comment :-)* _(even better now with a rebate, plus as bundle with masterplan or shapez which i both have already, only 8.09€ for this game)_
looking closely at 50:27, the timed goal seems to only apply to the native population, being already fulfilled at this points (marked with a yellow house), with the other goal of 900 island population being a "slow goal" without timelimit !? i prefer games with no timed goals so that i can slowly play at my own pace. but when the timer only applies to such an "easy/small" goal, i have no problem with that either. ps: i don't completely understand the goals at 58:20 ... the level is over at 700 population, but one goal is 900 ? how can that goal ever be reached without first getting to the end at 700 already ? or would i need to do the goals in a specific tricky order and/or only partially, eg doing 675 normal population first and then 225 island population, but that would require to know what are main goals and what are side goals !? and that also might make the time limit apply to the whole level since the 225 natives would have to be done as last goal ? or is it a bug, eg having 900 as a limit in an older version and on a newer version only 700, but not having adjusted the number everywhere yet ? The numbers at the top left also showed 700, but also 240 and 480 as limits, which combined would be 720 and neither 700 nor 900 ?! or are those numbers upper caps that apply as limits to the map, thus making the 900 goal impossible to reach ?

Thanks so much for playing our game! we're excited for season 2!!

example : what use does the fast autobahn have for tools when its end is connected to the furniture factory only by a single long stretch of normal road and tools pile up at those connection posts (54:46) or the post (at 57:00) that is blocked by all types of different goods or near the tool factories (bottom of autobahn at 55:02), or when two of those fast roads go in parallel to a normal slow road and are all connected to each other on a single point that can serve only as a tiny buffer that is also used by other normal roads at the same time (top of autobahn at 55:02 that is blocked with trees) ?
Such a simple concept that turns into a complex people puzzle. Fantastic. Kudos to the dev team. And appreciate you featuring it.

ps: i don't completely understand the goals at 58:20 ...
the level is over at 700 population, but one goal is 900 ? how can that goal ever be reached without first getting to the end at 700 already ?
or would i need to do the goals in a specific tricky order and/or only partially, eg doing 675 normal population first and then 225 island population, but that would require to know what are main goals and what are side goals !? and that also might make the time limit apply to the whole level since the 225 natives would have to be done as last goal ?

Good job. I was liking this game until I saw the timer. I never like playing against a clock.
I believe they actually removed the timer in one of the recent updates. 😺
@@Glidercat Thank you. I read update notes and it was removed.
