EDIT: I joined the discord and addressed these issues there. The developer almost instantly responded and has noted this down. They decided the lack of a restart option was an oversight that will be corrected :) So I'm at least changing my review to positive for the fact that the dev is willing to listen. They also said it's their first game. --- The idea is good. But so far... I do not believe it should have been released just yet. There is no tutorial. You have to figure out what to do, yourself. All well and good, as it's not hard to figure out the basics. But there is no way to 'reset' (from what I've seen). I ended up with some built modules, no cash, and one person that arrived through a resupply... and died because I didn't have enough resources to feed/water them (which was on me). I wanted to restart but ... there's no restart button. All you can do is go back to the main menu. And from there, back to the space station you've built.. but you can't start anew as far as I've seen. This is a basic functionality that should be in the game.

Even though the game is still in Early Access, it's already a lot of fun! There's something really satisfying about building and expanding your own space station, and I can see myself sinking plenty more hours into it. I've also joined the game's Discord community, and it's great to see how much the developers have planned for the future. They seem genuinely interested in listening to player feedback and involving the community as the game develops.
