✦ AI summary
Players agree this game feels unfinished with a poorly explained tutorial, incomplete systems like farming and food mechanics, and significant quality-of-life issues including clunky movement, unintuitive logistics, and artificial difficulty spikes. While the core automation and crafting foundation shows potential and some players found enjoyment powering through the rough edges, most conclude the game appears abandoned in development and recommend looking elsewhere for better-executed titles in the genre like Satisfactory or Fortresscraft Evolved.
The game is unfinished. The tutorial is patchy and missing details. Food system is not complete. You are supposed to be able to farm, but I see no details on how to do it. Factory building is flawed as you cannot split your rail/conveyor belts. Don't think the developers are working on this game any more. Time better spent on other games like Fortresscraft evolved or Satisfactory.5 found this helpful
Pity, this game had potential... Pick it up at heavy discount if you like crafting/automation games. It has some decent features, missing QoL improvements though. Quite clunky and slow, but I enjoyed my time playing. Forces you to move around a lot and decent teleports are unlocked later in the game. You will have to figure out quite a lot on your own, tutorial is not super helpful. But it works and apart from one bugged node being unlimited, I havent encountered major bugs preventing me from playing.
I tried. I really did. Movement feels like you're wading through molasses. Logistics takes way too many resources, tiny button clicks, and do-overs. But I powered through, because it's an automation game (I think?) and salvation is just around the corner... What did it for me was the artificial difficulties. Why is the gun I spent an hour automating unable to protect itself and requires manual replacing? Why can't survivors work on some buildings? (Edit: The answer might seem to be "range", but it is not. Range limitations come with range indicators. There is no range indicator, therefore the problem cannot be range.) Why do they keep dying because of... reasons? Why is half of my usable area covered in spider webs that I cannot do anything about? At some point I managed to research radiation protection (after numerous failed attempts at what seemed to be more useful of the three technologies). The building has a tiny range and requires an item with three crafting components. Just... no.
The game's been abandoned long before it was completed.
whens the next update lol
Not the greatest tutorial. I lost interest after less than 5 minutes.
