Shadow, you're not alone. When a friend tells me they will get Infinite and be an Ecotist too soon the first thing i say is "don't forget the populate button". Because i had to learn that first as well. What maybe is good too is to use the clear button as well when you do changes on the Ecosystem - before you populate again. To be sure you have a "fresh start". Good luck with Infinite - and post soon, i am really curious what you will do with Ecos.
