And yes, you can't build colonies with a radius over a km or so — to do so would require greater material strength than real materials have. (Even at 1 km, the pressure vessel has to be obnoxiously thick.)
Ooooh I see now. There go my dreams of giant O'Neil cylinders! One useful feature in the future would be an indicator for water usage in the colony so I know how many water facilities I need to meet demand.
I second the motion to add an indicator for water usage! :-)
