This is a fun automation game that is more focused on the supply chain problem in automation rather than having really complex automation itself. I disagree with another review I saw that called this game a "city builder." It definitely isn't. I'm not a great automation player but I enjoy a good automation game. I've played Factorio, Shapez, Satisfactory, Dyson Sphere Program, Zachtronics games, and others. About 80% of the top games under Steam's automation tag. This game differentiates itself from a lot of the others because the main challenge is in the supply chain, and not the production chain. This game does not have a really deep production and research chain like Factorio. It doesn't have manipulation and orientation puzzles like Shapez or Zachtronics. In this game, you have relatively fewer building blocks, but they're needed all over the place, and the demand for these components changes over time. You need to combine iron ore and sulphur to make reinforced concrete. So you find an iron patch and a sulphur patch and connect them with a road. OK, that was easy, but now you need your concrete at a settlement, so now you need another road. But wait, you have three settlements, so now do you build another road literally halfway across the planet or do you set up secondary production somewhere else? Then your cities start growing and now you need more supplies than you're currently providing, so where do you put that new production and how do you get the new supplies to the places needed? This game asks you to solve a different problem than a lot of the other automation games, which is why I like it. But don't worry, there are still production puzzles and room for optimization. You get drone depots that automagically shuffle resources between producers and consumers, but are limited in distance to one or two hexes. You get roads that have higher throughput and longer range, and trucks auto-route over the road network, but you need a lot of trucks to cover long distances with high throughput. You get trains which then really starts to unlock the possibility of centralized production depots that then get farmed out all over the planet. This is not a city building game. You don't place cities. You don't place civic buildings. You don't need to keep people happy. You don't need to worry about tax rates. Cities serve as a resource sink and in this way they motivate your supply network. This is a game about building supply networks, and for that to make sense you need a place to send all the resources you produce. The fact that you have to support three geographically distributed cities across a planet is what provides the challenge and fun. Overall, a different kind of automation experience. I'm enjoying it.

This game is for sure my favorite terraforming game. Obviously we are working on planetary scale, the more we grow the more interconnected it feels. Unlike most games this gave me a sense of scale I was always missing, there are so many progression steps and production chains to take care of as well as logistics for the 3 cities you grow. I think anyone who is into management games will like this one for this reason alone. A lot of candy and good automation. But there are issues. I love my management games because I like making my cities or whatever look nice. Planet itself will always look gorgeous, but cities... there are so many issues, lets pick some: - They blob and you can't control their direction too much. I tried to use roads to block where new tiles spread, but those tiles are so pesky that sometimes it can cross 15 layers of roads. 15 layers of roads are more than easily visible from space. - What's worse, sometimes a river is located near your city, you can't control underground water movement so your city tiles will grow on them, then die, then spam popups, and of course resources get wasted on that. Cities also produce waste which is part of recycling loop which takes a huge chunk of game right till and including endgame. That's totally fine, but other than this and producing one of 3 types of resources, well... cities just consume things you produce and do absolutely nothing. And since we can't really influence how they grow too much... well, it feels lacking to me. So while I can command the visual layer, the automation and the idea the game sells, it has issues, like the cities among others, that aren't immediately apparent from store page or from first few hours of gameplay. It's not inherently an early access issue either, it's just how it was designed I think. So buy this expecting great automation and eye candy, but a lot of pet peeves along the way. I also want to commend devs, I once suggested so that we can place landmarks underwater since I like to name my craters or seas and I won't always remember to name all of them. I got a reply, and they actually added this at some point. It's not that common to have someone to reply to your feedback and actually take action, regardless of what would that action be.

For the record: I'm at +12C, almost fully formed oceans, a lot of trees, 46k population. Level 17. I think the game is fine for the first few hours, but after some time it's very tedious to rebuild production chains (because new items required, not enough space, etc.) and need to keep moving stuff due to city expanding, oceans/rivers etc. I'm not a fan of finite resources and moving production from place to place after time, it's usually that you oversee extractors don't do anything anymore. Space elevator is being placed in some random remote location, so right away you need to put a rail through exactly half the world to get seeds to the main city. It could be manually place-able (and not movable later) or show its location since the beginning. Depot drones have rather bad AI and often don't move resources at all. Not sure if they're supposed to equalize all depots in range or what, but they usually don't do that (e.g. I have 10 depots with food connected by depot chain to another few food depots near supply center, the chain is empty, while food storage is full). Trucks are far too slow at moving anything, they're basically useless after some time. If you don't create an always working sink for city waste, you will just keep stopping to expand, which is a shame, because drones are too slow at moving waste away and recycling it. There might be a 'way' to do it better, but it's annoying when city waste disposal is so often stuck at 97%, preventing population from growing. That said, seeing the planet being terraformed from players actions is really satisfying though. Graphics style is really cool and nice to look at.

This is an AMAZING start to a game that could become HUGE. The core mechanics are there and I'm having a blast playing this. PLEASE don't ever abandon development on this!

People who say "jUST pLaY FAcToriO" haven't actually played the game. Developer gives frequent updates through EA, more than can be said for 90% of EA games. Game has good content, killer soundtrack, and relaxed gameplay. Better still, the game price is scaling, meaning you don't pay full price for a game still in development. Developer has also posted a public Trello where you can check in on the progress of updates and make suggestions. Insanely recommended.
