UPDATED REVIEW: original review stands (underneath) BUT - this is a MICRO MANAGEMENT SIM and is extreme micro (98% or more!!!) - Not fun if you are not used to telling them when to eat... when to cook... when to harvest the *farms* ... when to sleep... when to work out... etc!!! (i think i wasted my money due to this)

Firstly, well done, and thank you dev/s for your honest response to my discussions. I decided to take the risk and am glad i am here to follow this game through its evolution! I love games like this; well, when your library is 80% games like this that has to be saying something right? :P (i don't love them... i am addicted to them!!!)

Now please understand my current experience is with the tutorial only, and with that in mind, here is my review on the Tutorial (and store description)

**TUTORIAL EXPERIENCE ONLY**
Starts simple enough, wake up in a capsule... the AVI/AI is there to great you with the control tutorial which is nice and as expected, then explains that you should start exploring and collecting items and find your fellow crash members and then hot-tail it to the station...

Then explains how to activate said station and build a refinary... ok, simple enough... job done!

BUT... what it DOES NOT EXPLAIN and i wish to god it did... WHAT the refinery modules do... HOW to use them.. .WHAT is most important to refine... WHAT refines into what... etc...

It DOESN'T tell you or even reccomend anything about building crew quarters and what to stock them with, or how to farm...

But thats not too bad, because if you are a survival nut like me then it is actually pretty intuitive on what and how to do things... If however, you are new to these types of games then you might find yourself in a bit of trouble, which is a shame because at time of review there are no guides on how to actually play - the only ones are how to make diamonds and how to upgrade... and those new people might even be wanting to refund...

PLEASE UPDATE TUTORIAL(???)

**This is in no way ANY disrespect to the Dev/s or the game in GENERAL because it is a very nice effort and the love of development shows! This is concerning the tutorial itself and how it SHOULD be expanded upon**
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STORE INFO:

Very mis-leading to be completely honest... *choose between 15 random colonists* ... it does not mention ANYWHERE that you can only (currently) choose 5...

DRIVE A ROVER (etc)... the store page DOES NOT tell you that it isn't even implemented yet (reading the popup for the roadmap which happens around day 4 will tell you things like that are not planned until Q2/3!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apart from the Tutorial and misleading info i quite enjoy it and am glad i ahve it and wish the devs all the best in evolving this game - and i do reccomend it as well
