@Zarkonnen I kind of love and hate the approach mindustry takes.

I kind of always play to the bitter end, as things usually go badly pretty quickly.

But I do a lot of pause scumming (pausing the game to place a lot stuff quickly) and that is a habit I really should resolve to have more fun in a game.

However when you loose a map, the game does not put you to square one. A lot of stuff will be destroyed, but your schematics and some of the buildings survive, so you only loose some progress.
