Re: Converting Domed into No-dome

If all the population matches the atmosphere type, it should be a no-dome planet. Make sure you don't have mixed populations.

Re: Simultaneous game issue

Yes. Its been a feature request since about Version 0.0.1, to allow you to save a simultaneous turn game, then open it later and finish your turn. It is a constant frustration.

If it only takes you 5 turns to research a colonization tech in the proportions mod, then GO FOR IT.

In the standard game, using 3 starting planets, it would take you 3.3 YEARS (33 TURNS!!) to...

Didn't know this was "long-awaited", but it looks interesting.
