Anyone still here...

Hey there...
Recently rediscovered Darwinia on my HD, played through it again and, became interested in building a level or even a mod. I'm trying to dig up as much as I can by myself but some things are confusing.
So If someone could toss me a few answers to a few quick questions that would be apreciated. I realize Darwinia is old and this forum is rather dead but here goes anyway:
1. Latest patch is 1.5.11, right? Thats the one I'm using. Is it the best/latest base to build a mod on? I read in this forum somewhere people are/were working on additions since the sourcecode has been released, so in this regard are there any projects I missed and should be aware of?
2. I'm using Icepick's modding tutorial on thenextgame.co.uk, is there any other worth mentioning?
3. I created a first rudimentary level with a few red enemys and buildings to interact with, so far it works fine, but it doesn't save the progress. When I go back to the menu and reenter the level, all previously destroyed enemys reapear and all darwinians I spawned are gone. I keep control of captured buildings, though. How do I fix that?
Thanx for your time.
