Hey, you. Yeah, you. You already know if you like this kind of game. Lets be real here. You played truck simulators, and farm simulators, and supermarket simulators. You already know you enjoy it. Its rewarding, its a different form of medication for your (almost) crippling problems. And then you get to the end, and you stop playing it. And then you buy another simulator later. It's time. It is time to recycle. Just do it. You already have 20 other successful businesses that cost you your time and rewarded you only in dopamine. It's okay. It will all be okay. Just come on over and collect the garbage, make it into bars. You'll feel amazing. Just do it already, I'm waiting. Side note: actually no problems encountered, I got stuck once; there's an unstuck button. The game does not tell you a whole lot, so you'll need to either pay attention or look stuff up. The assistant will get you good deals, the sorters will save you from joint problems, and the trash collectors will turn a profit. When you get the robots , click "T" to mark the pallets you want to move. No crashes so far, no major bugs. The game is optimized like you put a squirrel on-top of a keyboard and told it, "get to work"; but the game runs regardless on mid-tier and lower-end machines.

Some bugs need polishing out. A few bug bears are using the sorting machine can be tedious as there is no way to see how much is left, occasionally when sorting and moving items quickly they "swap" what you're holding which causes you to put things in the wrong bin. The conveyors are a little bit buggy at times with the placement, occasionally not allowing placement. The very few bugs I've encountered aside, I've found for a small studio, attention to detail is key and in this game they have done just that. The little features in the game which seem small are very common, they increase immersion and general enjoyment massively. The optimisation of the game is brilliant, I encounter incredibly little frame rate drops, even when my machine area is packed full of loose products. There are a few features which aren't in the game which feels like there should be, being some staff to auto stack pallets, the ability to place custom pick-up/drop-off points for pallets for the robots, allowing them to pickup a stack of pallets. Some more upgrades to allow us to have more frequent scrap deals with upwards of 100KG of scrap to collect. Maybe some bigger car parks so we can take more calls along with staff to empty to sorter and fill the recycling machines automatically, allowing for further automation and gameplay potential/replayability. I think the ability to upgrade the machines would be a nice feature, maybe speeding them up or producing more product per cycle with a diminishing returns value to it so that those in the end game stages have more to strive towards. Also an open world style area where you can drive a recycling truck to collect rubbish could be a neat addition as I find myself spending a lot of time waiting around for my workers to return during the day as it can become repetitive doing the same collection tasks for scrap each day once your factory area is built. The factory building area of this game is very satisfying, the controls are visible and simple to remember. It's built in a quick and accessible manner where it was very easy to pick up and remember without constantly needing to think back to the tutorial on how to play the game. I think some further upgrades for passive scrap gain could be useful too as you only have the disposal boxes and the first level upgrade for it. An area which allows for more or for a more traditional "tip" as an upgrade would be a worthy feature. In conclusion: as a game released less than 6 months ago, it has an incredible potential with lots of game play and replayability. With few bugs and quite a long progression tree which doesn't feel overly grindy, a bit of polishing around the edges and some extra gameplay and passive gain will make this game a good scorer/competitor within the simulation category, and as a smaller studio it is very clear how much effort and care has gone into the development of this game. I've found myself unable to stop playing it since I brought the game. Well done developers, keep up the hard work. It is going great.

As with all these simulator games if they click for you, they really do. I didn't feel that click here but I still had a fun time. Once you get your first couple of upgrades there isn't really a lot to do. Certain parts of the game are crying out for some light automation to free up your time. You'll mainly spend your time running from one machine to another transferring and stocking pallets for drone to place in storage. I had fun, I was just expecting a little more.

not to bad for the price, really fun game, however theres only around 10 to 15 hours of gameplay at the minute and they have fully released it but it doesnt feel finished, feels like there should be alot more upgrades to maybe a bigger factory or maybe a full waste plant with bin trucks would be nice, i have all upgrades and and machines after 11 hours and theres no point in carrying on due to there being nothing else to work to

Oct. 2024

There should be an achievement for bouncing a trash bag off your employee's head... This game has lived up to the promises of its prologue. It's an enjoyable bit of trash collecting and management and everything seems to be running smoothly. I'm excited to get to where I can purchase the machines not available in the demo.
