Nov. 2024

This is a really addictive game. Basically, it's a factory building simulator. Your ship of survivors comes ashore on an island with a few trucks, some supplies and excavator and has to rebuild. Yeah, there's not much story. That's ok, you're not here for a story (or if you are, you got lost, go play a Trails game for a great story.) So it starts off as basic survival, building a few things just so your people don't starve (hope they like eating potatoes. Lots and lots of potatoes) and it progresses until you're running multiple nuclear reactors you built. It's a long journey, and one play through can take 50+ hours easily (you could rush it in half that time if you really wanted to). There's a lot of replayability with new maps, and realizing new ways of doing things. A lot of it comes down to efficiency, how do you make your island work better. Working better often means less use of trucks. How can you place your factories better, use conveyor belts to move supplies, do all that. At current the game's early access, so features are still being added (trains will come next some time early next year) and there will be more updates after that. The dev team is actively working on the game, and they've done a really good job making it bug free. Now, while it is early access and they are adding features, there's absolutely a fully playable game here. If the devs wanted to, they could call it complete here and it's work just fine (though I'm glad they're adding more and are responsive to player feedback.) This is a really fun, addictive game that I've played through several times now. It can be pretty relaxing once you get the basics down. There's a lot going on, but once you learn the ropes it's a really great game.

Pay attention when you play this game in the evening and the next day you have to go to work, because it's highly addictive and you couldn't realise that it's already the next day morning

Gaaaah! Another addictive game in the vein of Factorio and Dyson Sphere. Concise description: Contemporary Industrial Automation. Large tech tree. I'm "only" 60 hours in and haven't finished a whole game yet, so I will probably comment further later. This isn't science fiction with magic robots and drones (yet) or production and supply chain you can't relate to; this is how it's done in real life (with some simplification). You think you can just suck oil out of the ground and be on you way? Boy, you gots to distill and crack them hydrocarbons dontcha know. Don't tell your kids, but it will probably make them learn stuff. I learned a lot about the petrochemical industry, metal production from iron, steel and copper. And farming too. Even made me research them out of curiosity. I'm a retired engineer, so it got my Geek going on. This is what powers civilization. It's still under development but very playable now, I havent hit any game destroying bugs. Bend nature to your will, but don't piss away resources. This will keep you playing late into the night.

Complexity is approaching modded Factorio (angel bobs mods) but never goes crazy with intermediary products. Rather than focusing on sheer production rates the key is to balance it well to avoid fuel and maintenance death spirals. There's also many alternative ways to solve the same problems. Space is limited but having XYZ terraforming is an excellent addition. Already has all the necessary tools like copy pasting and blueprinting. The overworld exploration is rough and the massive research tree constantly unlocks significant upgrades that make you redesign your entire production. At first i wasn't quite sure if i'd be into the modern setting but it clicked very quickly. Heartily recommended

Jan. 2024

I bought this game on a whim. I thought it looked like an interesting way to engage my brain in a relaxing way. Well, 774+ hours later, I'm still playing. Still having fun! Still optimizing production chains. Well worth it.
