This is great.
I'm always so impressed by the builds people post here. Then when I try to make my own, I get so fixated on symmetry, that it is highly functional but completely boring, aesthetically.

Thanks! I try to do a design but it ends up just being a bit wonky, but organic growth is perfectly fine :). Im not gonna lie it took over 100hr.. lol. I put the symbol for their religion all over (standing sickle)
Highly functional colonies can be fascinating as well!
Fantastic! I think this is one of the most interesting builds I’ve seen on here. The organic growth really results in a very cool vibe. I enjoyed zooming in and finding beds and things.

I sometimes want to try a new colony on a tile with a special shape, especially with the geological landforms mod, but what annoys me is how the game always drops you and your stuff at the very center of it, even if it's the middle of a huge lake/the sea. It's making the very beginning even more annoying than usual IMO.
Is there a mod to relocate the starting point and make it a bit less... wet?
Luckily I started with naked brutality so I didn't even think of that!
Well water can't ruin your shit if you don't have shit, so you win that one I'd say.
