Game Journalism Planet Base Play through day 2

So today on my 5th attempt to establish a colony, I was a bit more successful. However I forgot to build a very crucial piece of equipment, the meal maker. Which I'm assuming is what caused all of the colonists to die from starvation. My game plan did work for a while, but I wasn't successful. As the colonists died of starvation and injuries. The only thing I think I need to do to be successful, not to be as aggressive in the building of the structures. Tomorrow I'm gonna try to not be as aggressive. And see if that is my problem. Hopefully this is my problem.
