Quality of life

Added a new FX around the aerostation when it can be activated to win.
Added an option to switch from fullscreen to windowed.
Made the Airship tab be open by default after securing a region.

How does drawing buildings work?

I'm a little frustrated with the building mechanics (lack of understanding I hope). A few times I've added some great buildings to my collection mid-game, wonders or powerful "spend X to gain Y", only for them to never appear and to instead cycle through the same tier 1-2 trash "build adjacent to get 2 food" kind of thing. I've got barely any space left to build, but no matter how much I smash that reroll button it's the same awful buildings. Are they randomly pulled every time you click reroll? is it a ...

Suggestion : reroll proposed buildings

Hi, would you be open to add an option to reroll (once) the 3 buildings we're given as choice (maybe even with a cost) ? Often i'm building to a specific strategy / synergy and hoping to have specifics one proposed and i get stuff i really don't care about. Or i'm in need of _any_ building that would help me get a specific ressource, but receive other options. I know you can skip adding a building, but when i'm in a dire situation, waiting for the next time to choose might be too long to save me. I don't ...

Is there any value in removing cards from your deck?

Because Smog increases every time you cycle your deck, more cards in your deck seems to almost always be good because it increases the number of actions you can take before smog increases. Am I missing something? What is the scenario that you would want to remove cards from your deck?...

Great game: three requests

So far, I'm loving the game. Three items would really help the experience, though. First, this game SCREAMS for an "undo" button. I have lost two games now because of misclicks where a simple undo would have saved me. I understand that once new information is revealed, you shouldn't be able to undo, but dropping a building one hex away from where it needs to be is SUPER frustrating. Second, for those of use using a scratchpad, could you offer a setting for click then click support, rather than click and dr...
