FINALLY FINISHED!
I have no complaints, some of the glitches actually helped me, didn't have to spend uber amounts of energy and in fact received several trade tickets and expansion permits this week, my previous prizes have been generous!
I am so glad I didn't get stuck in the recipe book jam, I almost did, but I think i escaped with a restart probably right before the whole thing permanently crashed. How awful!
I hope you find your tuition!!!
