I recommend using the Rematch button or sharing game link with friends.

It is not convenient to send a link when playing on a computer. Cellphone sending links are easy but for a computer, it is a pain to send a link each time we want to play. My family and I play on the PC. Also, I avoid players that quit a lot. In order to see who has opened the room, I have to join the room and hop out. The new update is awful.

You can create custom room links for you and your family, such as colonist.io/#family. Joining that link will create a private room directly, without going through the lobby.

please reverse the last 2 updates so the lobby shows the game speed and where the host can specify the room name eg base VF 19+ karma. this tells players conditions of host game. The lastest update does show game speed but now the host karma cannot be seen. It would beneficial overall if the lobby only gets changed with suggestions from players as we know what we want from the developers. It was a great lobby until 2 updates ago. I have play over 7000 games and was happy with lobby until 2 updates ago.

It's really annoying to have to check out multiple game rooms to find high Karma players. In the past you could simply see a game with HK Only and hop in. The simple truth is many many players with poor karma or low karma quit games they are not playing which hurts the experience for many of us. Also it hurts the skill level most of the time which makes it not as fun.
