July 2025

Game is really fun i enjoyed the grind until the late game. Late game is crazy boring gotta wait whole days without doing anything just so employies can collect and take their trash to the collecting bin. Otherwise amasing grind.

June 2025

Become a responsible human being and collect trash, recycle it and get rich. Although the controls are sometimes a bit clunky, it's an overall nice way to waste time.

June 2025

very nice and chill, can easily be played without volume and videos/music playing in background. Also easy to get into as a beginner

April 2025

I recommend the game but be aware that the developers have not been thinking through the endgame. Once you have everything unlocked, including all trash collectors and you would like to get all achievements like the “Millionaire” achievement you will spend a lot of time simply doing nothing in game. Some examples: - You can unlock 8 trash collectors - But you also get maximum 8 assignments (in some days there are 9 available) so there is nothing for you to do, in all honestly picking up the trash is also boring after a while so I like to leave that automated. But here is the thing, even if you let the collectors collect the trash, they are gone from the minute you send them away until 15-16h in the afternoon (ingame time). On an average scale they bring back 100-120kg per waste stream and this is where it becomes very boring because all you do is bring the sorted trash to your production lines and in minutes all of it has been processed. And trash collectors can only be sent out once per day. The ratio trash consumption versus trash collection has not been tested thoroughly. Especially when producing hybrid components, you need a lot of input to build not so much output. I often find myself just waiting until I can go to sleep and fast forward the game to the next day and stack up some trash. The biogas “DLC” which was introduced for free is something I don’t understand at all. It costs 40k in game currency to build the biogas digester and the return on that investment is very low. Sure, I enjoyed the game and that is also why I recommend it but once everything is unlocked the game is a very long draggy game to achieve 100% achievements and their discord is as good as dead.
