I like small portions of this, but there are some major flaws in the game that I doubt will ever be solved. I'll be posting my feedback in the discussions area about the major flaws but I'll go ahead and lay some things out now that point out why I will not recommend this game at this time.

Terraforming is free easy map editing with no checks or safeties. All you do is drag the river tool or the flatten tool around and bam, it creates a river or flatland, ignoring things like mines, quaries, or even structures. You can build rivers under your homes, you can flatten mines and quarries and they all still operate just fine. Its the most lazy feature in the entire game. Its instant and free too, completely breaks all immersion.

Inventory system appears to suck, terribly. Things get scrambled every time I load a save. I can have a mostly empty stockpile set to only accept Timber when I log out, then I load the save and suddenly there's a bunch of random resources in it like food or whatever. I have no idea how those things even got there. I think the game automatically just shoves everything into a random storage if something was over capacity somewhere. Not to mention the category of items sucks. Why would Ink be lumped in with Timber? Ink isn't wood. There's many items like this, placed in incorrect categories.

The cloud layer which at first was nice, became annoying, the same cloud over and over, going around in a circle. Then I discovered it was all clouds and their speed was based on how far from center they were. It turns out, its just a rotating image, the laziest method of clouds I have ever seen. Sure, its literally just a shadow generator but come on.

I purposefully decided to destroy my settlement, and turns out even after all the people die, nothing bad happens. You just wait years on in for immigrants to show up and start again. Oh and research keeps going up with no population at all.

There are certain other nuances that all suck, some people have mentioned them in reviews, and I've tried to comment on a few reviews that mention the wrong nuances that are actually accurate to some degree. But eh. One silly one is the latrines which claim to collect animal poop but if you don't have them, human poop shows up around your homes. These latrines are ridiculous too because of their wide range and worker count and other factors, its really, very silly how this game was designed. It feels to me like something that was rush created to get it out and make some quick cash. I dunno. If the developers would like to chat with me, I have all sorts of feedback about how they can improve things. But, who knows if I'm gonna keep going with this. I don't think there's any mods in this game that can fix some of this hilariously bad design stuff though. However, if they do want to improve things, I'll go ahead and post my various feedbacks in due time in the discussions, or wait to be contacted.
