Just wondering is this game has been abandoned? Seems so close to being in a finished state?

No, Settle the World is NOT abandoned!
But I have a new real-life job and less time to develop the game :-(
The development speed was very low in the last months, but it is getting better.
I spent the whole last weekend finding and fixing bugs in the game. But it will still take some time before the next update will be ready for download.
Btw. The next update will be a Bugfix update only (together with some minor improvements).
Hello Christian.
I spend all of my spare time with the bugs on my games too, so I know exactly where you are coming from. It's a labour of love which gets very complicated, very quickly. I dont know how I could do it without making a debug panel which comes up by the side of the game area, which refreshes on a timer - once per second - and shows the variables and important calculations and stuff. This past week I decided to code in a step monitor, so I can see which part of the game is running (the names of the sub routines) so I can see the path of the mess-ups. But doing all of that takes time to code the debugger in the first place!
As long as your game is in development, I'll make sure it stays in the development thread on Lemon Amiga. Thanks a lot. :)
