The UI looks much improved ;). That the bar is bigger makes for a large improvement in readability. The "surplus" sign is a good idea too.

- May I suggest arrows to point relations between resources directly in the bar ? Like "food" being pointed at by crops and water.
- Following the previous line, may I suggest "cutting" somehow unrelated resources ?

That would require a rework of the position of the items though. Sorry :P.

Also, the "blank" in the resource bar area before landing looks very strange, more like the game ain't started than really intended. But I understand that there is nothing to show in there before landing.

I don't have time to test it fully for a few days though. I still have issues with how the building bar works out. I'd get a post about it once I figure how to explain it more fully =).

PS: I'd still prefer to have the end turn button at the bottom right, way bigger than it is now and with victory condition and some other "end turn related" pointers next to it.

Really liking the new UI.  Ever so much cleaner and easier to see what things mean now.  The victory progress indicator looks better in the bottom center than where it was, too.

How about a little bit of Bionic Dues after SBR?
I'm waiting for exciting potential "talent tree" Keith has been thinking long ago but no time to do. Give it a go when you guys are less busy?  :P

Yes, please :D.
Any chance for that, Keith?

I'd love to, not sure when that's going to be possible though.

Pretty sure that he means Chris has him dragging Sisyphus's boulder, not that something's wrong. ;)

The year's been pretty crazy, lots of travel, moved houses, and my grandmother passed away recently. We're doing fine really, but extracurricular programming hasn't been high on my priority list. Crazy year, but on the whole a positive one.

Sorry to hear about your grandmother. Lots of changes, I guess.

Good to know your heart is still into that one!
I can happily wait for some programming spare time popping up for you in this case :).
