Good game with the potential to be great if the developer made some adjustments. I think this would be a strong contender for a pause feature, it could stand to have speed settings because sometimes you are just waiting for enough things to ship to complete your tasks with nothing else you need to do, and as other have mentioned some signals or more advanced tools for managing the train behavior would be welcome. Overall enjoyable to play but could be better.

I can't stop playing this game. Even if you have pretty much figured it all out, you can still enjoy the puzzle aspect of it, and try and improve what you pay attention to and when, shaving off some seconds off of your time in each level. I so hope the journey will continue, so many good choices have been made for this one.

I'm not a fan of automation games, they usually get too complex and overwhelming but this really hits the mark. It might be a little simple compared to Factorio or something similar but I am having a blast. I love the campaign missions provide you with a defined goal instead of just saying "build" and letting you go. Highly recommend!

Amazing puzzle game, very addictive. I did expect some factorio/satisfactory train management with signals, but that is not what this game is about.

This game is so fun. It runs great on both my PC and Steam Deck (and the default controls for Steam Deck are great). I've played for much more than the 53 hours indicated on my account due to some offline play on my Deck, and I'm still only about halfway through the game's content. I love that the game is level-based, so you have natural goals and stopping points built into the game. What makes the game especially unique to me is the way it handles setup and runtime in levels. When you load a level, you are in the setup phase, and you can freely build and demolish as much as you want and for as long as you want. Once you build your first train, the mission timer starts, and the game cannot be active-paused like a typical RTS or city builder might allow you to do (of course, you can still pause -- you just can't scroll around and look at your infrastructure). This means you have to make subsequent improvements on the fly, balancing time, budget, and level of perfection. Altogether, I think this makes for a very unique and engaging experience that is both methodical and intellectually challenging, while also requiring you to be swift and decisive. Would absolutely recommend!
