Stationeers

Great game endless fun.

This is one of those hidden gems. I keep finding myself coming back to this game. I have never come close to getting to the end game but have a lot of fun anyways

Puts you in complete control over every dynamic of running a space station. From Atmospheric compositions, to electrical regulation and control programming, you decide how to survive. Great for those who are inclined to engineering every piece of infrastructure, and scratches a long-horizon goal planning itch as you see your ideas come to fruition, or not, as catastrophe is imminent at even the slightest mistakes. There is a steep learning curve, and the interface takes some getting used to at first, but becomes second nature once you've toyed with them for a while. Overall, being only in Early Access and seeing the consistent updates being pushed out gives me hope for the future, and am already enjoying the depth and replayability (as there are multiple difficulties and planets to choose from). I would recommend this game to anyone who wants a time sink and to see their ideas compound as they progress from basic survival, to a fully autonomous facility.

This game is fantastic. its pretty niche, but no other video game scratches the same technical survival itch. I've been playing it for a few years now, but recently they really kicked the updates into overdrive and have made massive improvements on the game and feel they really deserve my review. Please give this game a real chance and know its very technical. I remember my most frequent reason for explosions at my base to start, was forgetting about how condensation freezes and accumulates in pipes as temps change and the freezing expands making the pipe explode. You can also use this to your advantage to make heat exchanging and lots of really cool things. Physics in not good or bad, be creative and make your problems into solutions.

Great game, specially appreciate the "previous version" availability in beta pranches, allowing me to continue playing my moded game until mod developers catch up to the new version, and then update. It's these little things that make a game great.

A complex game based around setting up a base, managing power, hazardous gases, temperature & pressure, water & polluted water, plants, food and air. Embark on the journey of Mark Watney, you'll most likely also blow yourself up once or twice. After about 50-100hrs, you learnt the basics. Eventually. For me, the tutorial wasnt *that* helpful. View the game UI like every equip and tool does have its own inventory. Hold [Alt] to move the cursor, click on stuff and drag windows around where you'd like. To make things less hard, I would recommend to start on Mars, I do like the CanyonOverlook, its not a boring flatland. Normal difficulty & standard conditions for the best experience. You land supplied with food, seeds, water and all the technical essentials. 30+15 Iron-Frames act as foundations, I felt a platform 9x5 works great (which I later finished as a 2-wall high room with windows on the upper). The first priority is electricity to power your tools, your suit & the "crafters" (autolathe, pipe bender, electronics printer, tool manufactory). Then a furnace to get tons of Steel for Kit(FlatWall), because iron walls look terrible. The biggest saviour of time has been the realizatio…
