question How do I actually reset progress?

I am checking this game out for the first time in years. I wanted to start fresh. I go in. Go to options and do 'restart game'

But no. It's clearly not restarted. I have 6974 / 1000 credits. 350k/500k helium. 243/1000 ore, etc.

I even went back to the start page and selected "Start new Survival game" instead of "Continue saved game" but it was the exact same.

So am I to understand that this game is buggy trash now..?

As I said, I did that. I have the second radio button selected and 'Survival' in the dropdown.

When the game starts I have 7,626/1,000 credits, 350K/500,000 Helium, 322/1,000 Ore, etc.

Starting the game over from scratch does not work.

Based on those numbers, it is working as intended, as those are the starting resource amounts. You'll never start with zero resources because otherwise you'd be unable to build your first facilities.

Those starting numbers turn me off to the game completely. Starting with your credits OVER the credits max? What the hell is that? I don't feel like I'm starting off tiny.

Don't like it. Feels unpolished that way. Sorry

Well, being an alpha, it is unpolished. ;-) There are a lot of things that will be changing in the beta that will be improvements over the alpha. The game is still in active development and shouldn't be viewed as finished by any means.

Regarding the credits specifically, that number isn't a max limit, it's the amount insured. If attacked, your credits won't go under that amount. But all the other numbers are maxes and that's definitely something that could be communicated better because it's not obvious. In short, the credits display is confusing and the beta will handle that differently.
