But it makes the games no fun, there are things there so you can have big colony games!
playing slow and relaxed is no fun. you have 2 play fast because there is never time to stop, there is allways stuff to do. most of the time u just need 2 macro and research. but usealy u are building as well. also u have 2 keep track of battles and micro.
Long / "big colony games" games do happen when you play fast etc. Ive played games where we end up having space ports, tigers, lots of back ore etc.
anyway, 2 smelters, 2 vec facs is a totaly normal way to play.
hopefully once the DLL is done you will get gaming and start 2 enjoy multiplayer.
