18 hours in, and the save file is corrupted with all data lost and the world wiped. Come to find out, it's an extremely common issue the developers have deliberately chosen not to fix, and it would be a simple enough fix that there are mods to prevent this exact problem. Disappointed because the game is very good, but it somehow manages to discourage the exact style of play that is should encourage.

the game is full of busy work that stretches the play time immensely and ultimately kills the fun of building -No inventory system for tools or items -in fact, ou can carry only one item at a time -No chest or other similar stacking system, stuff you buy just piles on the floor -Tedious driving from and to stores to purchase each item individually -Even your money is an item that you have to carry around and move from store to store -The tutorial doesnt explain how to connect and built machines, leaving you puzzling out why your automation doesnt work. This is highly frustrating in a game that is already so punishing with experimenting on building anything. -The placement system for items is "clumsy" at best. The crosshair doesnt match the actual position of where you will drop items, its slightly to the right. For lots of interactions it doesnt even make sense to "drop" things, it could simply have implemented to be able to click on the item to be able to transfer what youre holding in your hand (e.g. dirt into a pan) It could have been such an interesting automation building game for digging and expanding a base of operation, but all these issues really ruined the …
