Campaign: Everyone lost

In the Campaign I keep running into a situation where everyone loses. I cannot seem to find the cause of this to be able to avoid it.  Myself and my AI opponents are usually just starting to make some money and getting a foot hold when all the sudden I get this message that everyone lost.

I am a glutton for punishment so I am playing using the Scientific HQ.  It takes four of five “start a new campaigns” to get enough pieces to even make a go of it. IE you start with solar for your free power option but you generally never get a Quarry to get silicon to make them. Then I start my run and pretty much every map I play ends with “everyone Lost” Some maps this only takes 10-15 minutes on normal speed.  Is there some basic FAQ or manual or walkthrough for the campaigns?

I realize this is early access and things change so fast having a full manual at this point would be pointless. As the game evolves and changes, you would have to have a dedicated member of your team just for manual re-writes.  But a basic quick guide to the campaign would be nice. Defining things like the conditions in which “everyone loses” occurs and how to avoid it. I spend time make sure to win the tech auctions so I can have them after the fact only to 5-10 minutes later am told “everyone lost” for no understandable reason.  Am I missing some important piece of information available or is this a secret only few know and choose not to share lol.

You are making a great game and I am fully enjoying it and watching it grow and develop.
