Yeah, that's exactly what I was referring to.

It's been a while since I played it, but the key is to allocate as many of your resources as possible to reproduction rather than exploration, because that leads to exponential growth.

It's possible to complete the game in around 2 hours of active play, IIRC.

Well, now I'm stuck in the "combat against drifters" phase and everything is going too slowly, so I think I'll abandon the game once more... :(
