Oct. 2024

It's Pikmin meets Factorio. If you like both of those things you'll like this. That being said, there are some issues due to the game being in early access. There really isn't much of a sense of urgency in gameplay or variety in combat. But it's got great foundations, and hopefully they'll be expanded upon in the future.

Decent amount of content for an early access game. The description of Pikmin x Factorio is very accurate. Setting up factories is tricky since some buildings require what are essentially power connectors that are distributed through the map. Some buildings require material on the other side of the map, so you have to set up long paths of workers to slowly haul everything. There are plans to add trains which may help with quickly getting yourself and materials around. In the meantime, know that you will be playing with very slow, long assembly lines. Even so, it's a great foundation for what could eventually become a great game.

I've played for 84 hrs. (I started over after reaching Tier 5) so obviously I've gotten my $20 worth, but you need to be aware of two things: 1. Despite this being an "automation" adventure, you cannot automate the creation of Sparks because in order to craft the basic Spark that's needed to craft all other Sparks, you'll need Aether Shards, which can only be found around the map in ancient containers or farmed from creatures that spawn across the map. This means, while you may have a map full of "automation," once you run out of Aether Shards, you'll have to go exploring for ancient containers and/or farm creatures again. The devs say there is a way to automate Shards production in the "late" game, and I don't know if that's available yet in the Early Release version, but I definitely feel like it should be available much, much sooner than "late" game. I honestly have no idea why they'd make you manually fill hoppers with Shards in an automation game, but here we are. 2. There's not much space to build on the map. The map is COVERED with crap like trees, stones, and other obstacles, which as you level-up you can easily clear out, but there's always something preventing you from being able to layout a nice factory. You're always having to work around SOMETHING, and I can only assume that's by design, but like I mentioned above, I'm not sure why you don't have sufficient room to build a righteous automated factory in a literal automation adventure, but here we are. The mountains are mid-game content and they're terrible.. there's just NO space to build anything and there are creatures spawning EVERYWHERE. You can build something to get rid of the spawns, but it costs (2) Mantis Stag antlers and those things WRECK your Sparks and are a pain to kill... and there's only like 4 of them on the map at any given time. Anyway, so much for automation, ammiright? With the complaints out of the way, I highly recommend Oddsparks regardless of its "issues." It's early release, so maybe the devs will figure some things out. They're certainly active enough in the Steam discussion boards, and they've made a great game despite some of the anti-automation decisions.

April 2024

If you're into automation games, this is solid. I got it to support friends, even though automation is not my favorite genre. To me these production line games feel like work, cute graphics aside. Starts off fun and cute, throwing your stumpies around to do things, but pretty quickly moves into the "build a factory production system, to maximize input and outputs" (as it should), and completely loses its charm (for me). I also find automation games to be more enjoyable when you're familiar with the components, since it feels more intuitive. In this game there are custom named fantasy resource components that you have to learn. This widgetthing and that thingamob makes this doohickey. So, you're having to try and remember what that weird named thing is for, and ultimately just feels like a job where you're nothing more than sweaty free labor. So if you're into it, I'd recommend, as the game feels well made. Just not for me.
