Thank you for reporting.

I think a slightly less awkward suggestion would be:

"Advanced farms will enable us to grow more food than ever before, even on the strange alien worlds [where] Altarians now so often find themselves."

"It's so much harder to threaten a slaveling when that slaveling has a powerful cutting torch. But we've found a way, and now our starports[shipyards] will be just a little bit more efficient at making ships."

Forces starports[shipyards] to decay less.

DrenginLogisticalOptimization3_Dec

"Starports[Shipyards] don't just stay there being starports[shipyards]. They're always breaking down, which is crap. We put some boring slavelings in charge of making that not happen, which seems to have helped a bit."

DrenginShieldOptimization1_Dec

"The ship's[ships'] crews pointed out that if we make their shields stronger that they'd die less. "And?" we said. Then they said they'd be able to kill more. "There you go,[.]" we said. Anyways, their shields are a little stronger now."

DrenginPrecursorRelicFocus_Dec

"These Precursor relics have a number of confusing benefits on our society. Although we don't really understand how this is occuring[occurring], we should force them to be better at it."

I'm not sure it needs the change. But, if it does, you know, I'm going to go with this:

"Advanced farms will enable us to grow more food than ever before, even on the strange alien worlds [which] Altarians now so often find themselves."

I just have a feeling that Altarians are the type not to end their sentences with prepositions. It's something up with which they would not put.

Oops! Sorry, the purpose of the post was more about getting in the Winston Churchill quote, in the context of Altarians (can you imagine them wearing Winston's signature Homberg hat smoking a cigar?), than it was meant to be "nitpicky." As you said, it was OK the way it was, except for the preposition at the end, which many people do not mind, but in my case put me in mind of the Churchill quote, and then from there the swankily haberdashered Alterians, much to my current regret. In fact, it was simultaneously a lampoon on pedantry, which of course is the whole point of Mr. Churchill's quote. I suppose I was being too cute.

But I do congratulate you on your analysis, and in fact agree with your final choice. You, sir, are encouraged and invited to provide an alternate XML file after the Beta III is released. I shall continue to prefer to hyphenate "nit-picky."

{The text describes that they assist, but you get a penalty.}
