Feb. 2025

I have played the game a lot in the last times. Especially in early/mid game is great. And I loved it! So many ways to organize your ants and to make standalone colonies... The problems lie later in the Game. Especially when reaching the acid. It needs way to much resources to make the acid and it is used in way to much recipies. Also on the Acid Island there is hardly enough of the ingredients, also no good way of mining them (miners get infected). With all recoureces on the Island you can only build around 300 Acid? in some recepies 3 Acids are used. Also each advanced research point needs 5 Acid. I can not even research everything i have visible in my tech tree with is. How is this supposed to work? Also I had some bugs especially in the Late game: - When producing Resistors: If 2 diods are in the assembler it is not possible to insert a casing => machine needs to be deconstructed. => very anoing to work around - If concrete Block is moved it looses its function. Needs to be de- and reconstructed. - Tesla tower did not work for me. I needed to de- and reconstruct is. Cost me quite a while to figur out! Also some more sugestions: - Add some bigger copper ores. It is anoing to always need to reposition everything - Add copy Past of modules - Add Back button (if you accidentally moved a track just undo it). - Add some more logic gates (e.g. Gate that opens if i certain cast reaces a certain amount (either on island or in total). - Unlock storage Gate earlyer. - better description what the Ion-Ant dose I still havn´t figured it out. Overall loved the game for a very long time but stopt because of the very anoying acid mechanics.

What a gem.. i thought hmm looks good lets try it for 1 hour and 50 minutes and return it...... 35 hours later, i just cannot leave my hive. The game never crashes even with 200+ ants. I'm 1/3 of the tech-tree now. I love the drones flying around and several queens took of in flights. The name of the game does not lie, its microtopia. So you have to do a lot at micromanagement, but you can also automate a lot. Keep flying around the islands to make sure every little loop has enough ants or no ants if stockpiles are full. I keep coming up with more effective ways to make the loops and trails more productive. Just dive in, you won't regret it!

Big fan of logistics games , think factorio is at 1100 hours and satisfactory around 400? and the main mechanic of your workers being your conveyor belt, combined with the mechanics of their lives being limited, but able to be expanded via combination and recycling makes for a interesting loop of resources and population management. Well worth a try if you like Factorio, Satisfactory, Dyson Sphere and the like.

Absolutely Love this game. Mechanics are very easy, but can easily be incorporated Into very sophisticated designs. My only issue is, when you advance the tech tree, you need inventor points, which on its own is not to difficult, but you have to manually click the inventor ants. It would be nice to he able to automate that. And when you want to unlock other things in the tech tree, you need yellow diamonds, but I cant figure out how to get them and the game doesn’t tell you. Any help?

I have been waiting for this to come out for a long time. The demo was great and the full version is better. It's a refreshing take on the automation genre with a very unique focus on logistics. I have a few issues with the early progression, specifically with the order that the trail types are unlocked, but I still highly recommend the game for anyone that enjoys games like Factorio, Dyson Sphere Program or Satisfactory. The music, ambiance and atmosphere are especially good
