"One must imagine Sisyphus happy" is probably the best description of describing this game, you are Sisyphus in this metaphor, and yes, you are happy (usually...). The game is genuinely addicting to play, and has a seemingly simple gameplay loop, appearances can be deceiving however. Just look at the wiki and check how in-depth it truly is. It goes without saying that you will be able to sink hundreds, even thousands of hours in to this game and be happy with your slow and steady progression towards 100% completion. Mods make that task considerably easier, but even though I used quite a few mods over the years, I still needed 600+ hours of pretty much active gameplay to complete the game to my satisfaction. Keep in mind, this would usually take far longer, especially if you play it like it probably should be played, an idle game you check in on every few hours or so instead of actively micromanaging it like I did. I enjoyed the micromanaging far better though... guess that is subjective though, anyways. Yes good game, simple if you want it to be, but in-depth mechanics with complex math, charts, strategies, etc. for anyone who seeks to explore those areas of the game.

TL:DR; Yea its pretty good if you like completionism in games (100% completion) and this game has probably the most interesting path to completing it out of any idler i've heard about.
