Cute and fun factory builder. The one thing that annoys me incredibly is the fact that one resource (aether shard) isn't possible to automate until later in the game. Because of that you'll always be making weaker setups to create the materials needed to get to that later part of the game. Near the end you'll probably be removing a lot of your builds to redo them with the new tech. It's very annoying to clean up such a destroyed build.
Basically it's very tedious to do all the fetch quests until you can produce aether shards. I'd rather be able to make them earlier on so I can focus on creating bigger factories earlier on.

Currently auto-saves also freeze the gameplay which can be annoying.

Surprisingly polished! Easy to get into and fun to optimize.

amazing automation game with cute graphics

This game is heavily influenced by modern identity-politics.
With that out of the way, let me tell you what i saw:
1) Game runs fluid (if you ignore the autosave-interruptions), artstyle is acceptable.
2) Factory mechanics are consistent and enjoable.
3) Upgrade-mechanics make advancing the tech tree enjoable,
BUT: every blueprint is locked behind quests that completely break the flow of expanding and optimising your factory, even worse they require (at the point) cutting edge recources to complete, forcing you to either double / tripple your existing factory in the same way, or wait until production gives you enough so that you throw it away for a blueprint.
4) World building is about third rate. The animals show creativity and their mechanics are positively challenging, but this cant cover the feeling of the world causing the uncanny valey feeling. We have a jump from "completely realistic" vegetation in the first biome to "how an alien in second grade would have answered a test about the earth-planet that he didnt prepare for" in the second biome. It honestly feels as if this part was both rushed and based on mechanics instead of planned and consistent to the world.
5) Sound design is very fitting and i consider it to be the best part of the game.
6) Multiplayer has been working without any problem or crash, actually the game has never crashed for me as well.

Considering how this game is still in EARLY ACCESS, i do recommend it, but only if you actually manage to get it for less than 25€...
