Not a bad game at all. Starts off a bit tedious and you begin to think is this worth it but then once your reputation grows and you are able to buy more land, hire staff and purchase more sophisticated machinery then it becomes quite interesting and challenging. Looking forward to the next update which promises even more excellence.

I just cannot understand why this game has received so many negative reviews. I've now played for over 90 hours and have not found a single bug or anything else that has caused me to complain about it or stop playing. Why do people buy early access games then complain endlessly that everything is not perfect do they just not understand what early access means?? Anybody thinking about buying this game but doubtful because of the bad reviews don't be put off, it is really excellent. You will get hours and hours of enjoyable playtime and although you may need to start over a few times as I have when you discover things you weren't instantly aware of that's part of the pleasure. Very good game thanks you dev's for producing it.

This is an excellent game, graphics are good, content for an early access game is more than acceptable and so far I have not encountered a single bug or any other problem while playing. So why a negative review? The one and only fault that I have to highlight is regarding the length of the game play day, it is so short that there just isn't sufficient time to complete the tasks that you need to fulfil, you are forever looking at the clock to ensure that you return home in time to sleep. Farming, ie, planting, watering and gathering is a significant part of the game which can take up to a third of the day then in addition to that you have manufacturing, upgrading, building and most importantly exploring to fulfil. As mentioned on the games discussion thread "Days too Short" this is supposed to be a chill, relaxing game so why spoil it by making everything so rushed, just 13 minutes from day break until night time arrives although you can play a few more minutes into the night. The developer has stated that they are still deciding what to do about this issue so when/if they do get round to sorting it I will without hesitation revise this review to positive. I really want to get back to playing this well developed interesting game but not under the current circumstances.

This game takes a little time to get into but once you've given it a while you'll discover how excellent it is. There are numerous different campaigns to complete which get significantly harder as you progress plus an asteroid hopping mission which is akin to a sandbox version. It's a factory game with all the different material collection and production methods that you might expect but it is quite unique in its setting and this makes it a lot more challenging to play. The dev is extremely cooperative if you do have any difficulty. I had a problem setting up my drones in one mission and he walked me through every stage in order for me to get them working, he could not have been more helpful, thank you Jan. This game is definitely worth a try and you could easily lose endless hours playing it if you just give it a fair trial.

Took me just over 13 hours to complete the game which I consider pretty good value for money considering the very reasonable asking price. Takes quite a lot of patience so be prepared to walk about quite a bit in order to build then upgrade the 23 different buildings, then fulfil 69 character quests and finally dig up five hidden treasures. The effort is definitely worthwhile and the developer should be congratulated on producing this excellent little game, thank you.

Just over ten hours into the game and I feel that I have only slightly scratched the surface. I reckon there could be a huge number of very enjoyable hours to be spent playing this and it's still only in early access, can't wait to get in deeper. Took a long time for this game to be released from the time I first started following it but it's certainly been worth the wait. Well done dev's for taking your time and making sure that you had a great product when you did eventually give it to us, take note other developers, far better this way than issuing too soon. Highly Recommended, can't see how anyone could be disappointed with it.

This game has great potential but at the moment it lacks any meaningful tutorial which means you are virtually on your own when it comes to working out how to do something and that's not always that easy to achieve. There are currently no meaningful youtube videos to help you along, just one in German language which goes some way into the game and another in English which hardly scratches the surface. It's not impossible to fathom things out but it does require a fair amount of patience (or maybe more intelligence than I've got!) but more guidance would make the game a lot more attractive to those who would like an easier introduction. That said the dev appears to be working hard to make this a top game and hopefully he gets the necessary support and sales to allow him to do so.

Just completed the game with the 17 full achievements and it is definitely one that is worth the asking price. Does get a bit tedious towards the end when you attempt to complete all the research requirements and get all meals to the required five star rating but overall a very well thought out game with many hours of gameplay.

Excellent game during which in the 60 hours that I've played I have encountered no bugs or pathing errors whatsoever. I have managed to complete the game having finished the three major tasks that were required and found it a really good experience. As others have said the learning curve is a bit difficult but not that bad as even an elderly person like got there eventually. Good game well worth the amount I paid for it, definitely recommend.

Having played a decent amount of time on this game I feel I can now give what I consider to be an honest review. The developer of this game is outstanding, the game was released as complete but he is constantly making improvements and alterations based on players comments and requests. In the last couple of days he has added the option to play without enemies, a mode which I personally much prefer but the other option is still there but is quite difficult especially as the enemies get more plentiful as you progress. All in all this is a really good factory game, it might not be as sophisticated as others like Satisfactory or Factorio but it will definitely keep you happily occupied for many an hour. Highly recommended.
