Its OK, but not great. I love modding the game, but playing it the way its meant to be played is annoying beyond reason. Honestly the biggest problem I have with the game are the colonists. They are ridiculously needy to the point of it no longer being about managing their needs, but babysitting a bunch of whiny children. I have come to play the game entirely without them using mods. Every time I introduce colonists into the game I end up abandoning that play through almost immediately after. Unfortunately, there are huge chunks of the game that don't work if you have no colonists, like the story parts. The Bio-Robots are no fix either, as they are just as whiny and needy as the human colonists. I can't fathom building AI machines and making them just as terrible as real people. Perhaps one day, with future updates, it will be more fulfilling of a game.

I am giving it a Thumbs Up only because, with mods, its actually OK.
