Solid stuff! I unlocked the tech tree and started automating the spawning/killing/looting of anomalies. Realizing how the mainframe worked was a neat 'aha!' moment. There was a point where I upgraded the mainframe because I could and didn't realize it was causing the cost of the mainframe processing to increase. That put me in a situation where my energy generation was not ready to deal with that and my progress slowed drastically. Other than that, pretty smooth experience. Nice job

Thank you for playing and providing detailed feedback!
I'm glad to hear that the Mainframe system is working well, as I rebuilt it quite recently.
About the energy consumption, you can temporarily disable the auto-capture to preserve energy. That said, I will see if the trade off can be made clearer before upgrading.
