There's so many things I could do, but I can't because of those silly dice.
True. There will be times when you roll doubles four times in a row (which can severely limit your options).
You need to maximize your options. For instance, if you can get (and place) the yellow tile that allows you to use one die for four workers, take it! That will allow you to use one bad die to get four workers (instead of two).
A lot will depend on what board you have (assuming you're not playing the basic game where everyone is on board #1). Look at what you're likely to be able to place in the next turn or two.
The ship tiles can be critical, especially near the end of a round. Being able to go first in the first phase of a round can allow you to snag those critical tiles you need. Plan for it.
