Your playthrough is going fairly well, but you need to be prepared for the worst.
Consider every possible scenario that could happen to your colony and have a plan for each of them (naturally assuming you've committed every detail of your colony to memory like the rest of us normal players).
What if an infestation occurs? What if your favorite colonist Jeremiah loses his right pinky in a battle with a pack of manhunting pigeons? You must be prepared for every possible scenario.

Assuming you followed the last guide, you've already found the meaning to life and ascended beyond the physical realm, but now's the time to ask the real questions. The purpose of the universe is all well and good, but why are door stoppers so fun to play with? Why is poking holes in erasers the favorite pastime of every kid? Why do those colored frosting cookies you can only get at the grocery store and that don't have names taste so good? These are the true questions that need answering.

Let's be honest, that modlist is pretty long, and your pc is pretty old, it's gonna be a long time before the game can be launched. The best thing you can start doing is to prepare for your death.

Idk why y'all loved my last guide so much. It had like 3 views after a week so I just gave up on it, I come back a few months later and it's huge. I hope you enjoyed this sequel and that it gave you some things to do while your game is loading. Speaking of that, why don't you go check it? Should be close by now.

Also what, were you expecting real advice here? Ig if it still isn't loaded you can always listen to some music or something. Anyway like and subscribe and see ya in a few months when I check the pit that is my Steam inbox again.
