Put 30ish hours in to Farthest Frontier. The game is good for what it is, the building aspect is fun enough to keep you engaged until you reach the final tier. Don't know why they cap the population to 500 by default, game works fine over that.

Didn't know about the cap. Played this in EA as well, playing it now. Nice to unlock buildings with tech rather than the town center.  Finally have surplus population, my previous games always left me with no labourers. Seems kids take ages to grow up as well, so maybe was lucky with immigrants.

Salvage sites is new to me too, also good.  Shame soldiers are expensive as heck though.

I was short on laborers until I reached over 500 pop. Until then I needed to switch between farmers and labor, non stop. Kids only come in to play in late game, when you get people dying of old age, until then immigration is key.

There are some relics that can make soldiers almost obsolete, at least on anything below hardest. I didn't even build any walls.
