###Second Review####

OK.. tried and tried again.. i give up.. done.. i want to like it i dio.. but at the end of the day it just doesnt have any content.. sure.. there is overly complicated menus...lots of clicking and clicking and dragging.. Plus a ton of running around looking at the same stuff..
So . If you Love clicking and dragging with no goals this game is for you . Sure they dumbed down recipes ..but that was never the real gripe.. it was the actual INTERFACE of the tools not the end results. After Runing around 4 zones looking for a material with the propper heat abilty to make a heat filiment as always HUGE lag spike while running dropped me off a cliff ..so No i wont be coming back . If the game launched its Alpha as it is now.. i wouldnt have had such a sour taste for the game.. too little too late . there are so many other games with actual things to do
I RECOMEND you buy those games instead .


###First Review###

First and foremost Do Not buy this game as yet ! Early access indeed. TOO early if you want my honest opinion. Entirely too many game stopping bugs. Server crashes every few minutes or few hours.no reasons why . Opening storage. You might crash . Crafting or placing crafted items may or may not crash you or the server.

The complexity of the game is great... to a point. The multitude of tools used to craft items is awesome BUT. Huge BUT the click and dragging of tools to your minute tool belt is tedious. You spend most of the game in out of the game and in a menu or inventory trying to bounce between tools.
Now on to repairing them . Again 400 clicks and misclicks and your item is repaired. BUT its still in the wrench. So you must click and drag yet again . If you are clicking the 2-5 items check boxes and misclick and click just next to the little box it knocks previous items out of check. So wash rinse repeat So you can craft and create a million and one things but you can't make a compass? You can create a solar panel from scratch but you can't tell what direction a friend is ?

I will admit I am slightly fascinated by the complex crafting. Just sick to death of the swapping of tools and micro managing of them. That combined with the crashes and instability of the game my me feel like this is pre-pre-alpha.


Fixes that would improve the game to playable

1. If i have the materials need to craft something don't make me drag it to the tool to craft it . Give me shift click to place items or just auto fill them.

2. Give us a 10 slot tool belt why 5 when there are more than 5 tools.... not to mention the weight of the tools... Also with the wrench just have the item go back to original slot. Fix the click throughs or remove the clicks all together. And repairing wires that you placed is absolutely F'ing ridiculous. There is just entirely too much micro micro micro management.

3. Servers and stability need SERIOUS I mean serious fixing on stability and crashes.

4. ADD Creative mode and single player period. Its near impossible to craft and do 1/10th the stuff in game with the crashes and wipes from crashes that the game is unplayable.

Would Love to play the game really.. but it is unplayable .. I play many early access games , never have i been so frustrated and disappointed . Especially with a game that shows great potential

To those of you who think the game is too pricey.. wow.. really?
