This is not an automation game, though you'd be forgiven for thinking it is. No, this is a game about micro-managing your single (1) copper deposit, as almost everything early game requires copper at one point or another. The deposit is quite big, but you are only allowed to put down 2 miners per resource deposit and, if you are mining and transporting at 100% efficiency, you can supply a single smelter for 20 bars/minute. Being frustrated with the lack of copper, I went searching the forums and found a post from the dev stating that the only resource you're getting a second deposit of is iron. Granted, there are items that can increase your ores/minute, but from what I can tell it requires late to end-game resources, though honestly I couldn't be bothered with putting in any more time than I already had. If I could refund I would. If you're into bottleneck micro-management, this game could be for you.

I played for about 3 hours with 3 friends of mine. I did refund the game in the end and decided to follow it's development progress to see if it might evolve to an acceptable state. I personally see a great future for the game, as I am very interested in the concept of coop-based terraforming, but in it's current state I just cannot bring myself to recommend this game to anyone. The game just still feels too cranky and unpolished to me, the game loop is very rudimentary and feels more like a drag than being entertaining. You are rate limited to 2 miners on a single vein, which limits your processing speed tremendously in the early game (this might be different lategame idk) [b]As it is right now, this game will scare off big automation enthusiasts like me.[/b] The Terraforming process you make will not be live updated in the world, but only happen via "black screens" that fade out your vision while the world updates, this is just a minor thing and probably necessary the way the game is coded, but this is still very unpleasing to me personally, as i would like to see my progress in the game world. [b]This makes the world feel very unalive and very unsatisfying.[/b] [b]After a fe…

When compared to something similar like Planet Crafter, this game just falls flat. There's several issues, most importantly the brutal survival mechanic and the obtuse automation system, and the lack of crafting-from-storage. It's not a lost cause, and the dev could improve the game to the point where it could be worth the asking price in the future, but right now it's just not there.

Very beautiful game. It has an enormous draw distance (and seeing your satellite from ground is a nice touch), including buildings and drones, no obvious culling, yet it runs so fast and smooth, one can immediately feel it uses handcrafted engine for such sceneries.

The game is a pain to play to keep repairing your building, even with a storm protector, it dont protect it, it only repairs it with a item that only lasts for 2min, it has a radius were it repairs from. Imagine when you need to set up multiple extractors outside that radius, having to build multiple storm repairer things, that need to have a item that only last 2min. this game mechanic is a pure annoyance that gives too much axiety and worry about buildings far from your home location. I rather play Factorio, than this annoyance of a game.

Boring concept for a teraforming game
