I got this free from Epic a few months back, reading through the thread makes me think I may have to give it a go, esp after getting a taste of No Man's Sky and finding it quite enjoyable, this seems like something in that same vein.
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck.” -Robert Heinlein
