There are several issues with this game, one of which caused me to refund. First is that this should be priced at half of what it is. There are comparable games out there at that price. Second is that you can't save on demand, only through it's autosave. This would be fine except that it doesn't save correctly, in fact it completely lost my first world. But the deal breaker is that VSync doesn't work correctly, after a few seconds it starts to strobe and makes me nauseous. The load and new game creation times are also a little excessive. I am refunding this for now, I'll check back in a few months to see if they've fixed these issues, especially the VSync since that makes the game unplayable at the time.13 found this helpful
I really want to enjoy this game but it just has so many issues I can't recommend it at this time. Most of the issues I can deal with because it's still EA. Claws not taking off the conveyor randomly or they'll only take from inventory and not the one on the belt from an assembler, texture issues, clipping, etc...all those I can deal with. My issue with this game is I can only play for maybe 60 min chunks plus the lack of manual saving. After a certain point the game performance just tanks and I get maybe 2 fps where i have to wait for the menu to show up, exit out, and wait an eternity for the files to actually save. There may be a memory leak or something because I can't run it for extended sessions and I have a ton of other resource hog games that run just fine (plus all the VR games). I'm extremely lenient when it comes to EA titles and I'll put up with a lot but the time it takes to exit and come back in when performance tanks is just not worth it.2 found this helpful
For the current moment game is not very playable (at least with minimal req) It is hungry for RAM to the point where Chrome can be jelaous. During world exploration amount of used memory grows and grows to the point of game freezing (Task manager here I come...) Also in my opinion it's overpriced, buy Evospace instead. In normal conditions I'm big fan of factory games but for this one it is better to wait and see where will it go.2 found this helpful

This game [b]had[/b] potential, now it's just overpriced and a dead game. It's been years without updates or anything from the dev.
I really liked this game. It's in the same vein as SatisFactory or Factorio, but with a specific twist / blend. It may not be at the same scale as those other games, but it scratches my brain just right.
