Early Access Review
Cozy little colony sim. Similar to Dwarf Fortress and Rimworld but with it's own charm. The music mixed with the sound of the dwarves working is relaxing and makes the world feel alive. It's still in early access as of the writing of this review so there are a few bugs here or there, but the devs are putting out daily patch updates and responding immediately to all bug reports.

You can tell the devs have put a lot of love into this game. Highly recommend this game if you enjoy cozy colony sims made by people who genuinely care about their supporters.

Early Access Review
Great game to pass time in. The devs definitely still have a long way to go with making this a complete game but what's there is rewarding and fun.

This game features elements of crafting, survival, base building, terraforming, and exploration. You collect minerals to craft work stations and buildings which you then use to craft items and structures that help you collect and store more materials you find as well as generate resources to terraform a dead ice covered planet into a thriving one with grass, trees, lakes, and rivers. There are monitors you craft so you can see the level of terraforming the planet is going through as you receive the dopamine injection of watching Number Go Up. The map you play on also goes through physical changes and new sections open up to explore as rain fills gullies, ice melts, and plants grow.
The base building is probably one of this game's strongest feature right now. You can place structures that generate terraforming resources anywhere on the map to gain it's benefit, nothing really needs to be connected, which allows you a ton of freedom if you are going for a specific base design or aesthetic.

Collecting crafting materials can be slow and tedious but late game auto mining structures and the new addition of drones that move materials between storage makes collecting materials a task you no longer need to do once you reach that point.

Right now the game still needs more work and it's clear there are missing features but devs have been consistent with update sizes. Often adding new explorable zones, and terraforming goals. At the time this review is being written you can generate algae, grass, flowers, trees, bugs (larvae, butterflies, bees) and most recently they added fish.

If you enjoy games with base building, exploration, and a world that changes based upon your progress then this game is great.
If you want a game that has all this and is complete and polished then wishlist and maybe hold off until it's out of early access.
