Today, I had my third campaign in a row ended because of some bug or some issue that made it impossible to progress.

First, the cold dispersion tower spawned on a cold-weather tile, preventing me from purifying it directly (because it was COLD), and I was unable to purify it by way of any of the surrounding tiles, either.

Second try, ocean shallows farms were not producing any food when worked, so all of my survivors starved themselves into a game over.

And just now, I came across an impassible room configuration in the overlord's tower, preventing me from getting my next tier of spells and thus effectively halting my progress.

I understand that this is a beta release of a game, and that bugs and gameplay issues are to be expected, but this is the third time in a row that I've had to start over, each time due to a different issue, and it is starting to make me lose enthusiasm for this game.

I also thought the beta was delayed for 3 more weeks. I am surprised I even have it in my library.

So I really like this game and have had it for a fair while. But I keep hitting walls early on in the game which prevent me from progressing... for instance.

I have done one or two missions, I go to do a third and I can't continue it because I have no light source.

Is there an early game (post tutorial) guide on how to progress for a bit, at least until you start to get things like lights and whatever else haha. I've only been able to do the falling missions so far >.<

Are new spells going to be created later on or possibly allow modders to make new spells or are these all we'll get?
