First of all: This is not a horrible game.

When terraforming through the different stages moss, larva and amphibian ponds appear without you introducing them. However neither of them counts towards the biomass, the or the animal count.

Also the story behind it doesn't allow any flexibility. You have three endings which you can choose (depending on certain criteria) and while it takes some effort to get to two of them the final decision doesn't change a lot of the rest of the game. You can't working without an antenna and even if you try you will still get messages.

A minor issue is that it is way too easy to fall beyond the walls when using the jetpack. In my second playthrough this has been less of an issue, but maybe I just was more careful.
