I have invested a lot of time in this game. One of things I enjoyed was frequent updates and the ability to make suggestions and see them in the game. Please bring that back. I would love to be able to make conveyers from the lvl 1 machine entrance to the sort machine. (Maybe also be able to feed the machine and as it fills a bin it sends the filled container to the machine)

Good early/mid game; falls apart at the end. If you like cleaning and/or job sims: 👍 If you like automation and/or conveyors: 👎 I enjoyed the earlier bits of the game where you run around various areas manually collecting scrap, processing it, and selling it basic items. That part is done well and honestly I got my money worth out of it, hence the positive review. The entire conveyor aspect however is barely usable. You can easily play most of the game without them though and for the endgame hybrid products you can use a fairly trivial setup with a few splitters and merges - you can beat it 100% with it. Building anything more complex however is just not gonna work, the game is not built to handle it. * No snap to grid, grid doesn't match conveyor size anyway (rofl), and you can't move conveyors * Machines have arbitrary different sizes, connecting a large build together is a nightmare * Intermediary items are stored inside the machines (infinite capacity), not the actual storage * You cannot control the resource flow and it's impossible to tell how much of what you have available * Items fall off of conveyors at random - you get stuck with 35/36 contract, go search for a box somewhere * Insane FPS drops to single digits even with empty storage and machines not running, reasons unclear It's a decent job sim but the conveyors are best not to bother with beyond some triviality. For a similar experience but MUCH better conveyoring check out Parcel Simulator.

One of my top 5 Simulator games, It looks basic you run a recycling facility and yes you do..you also build the production lines, barter for rights to collect matterial from local buildings that you then go to in your truck and collect all the trash and for the first while you sort the matterials by hand via a little mini game. As you progress your factory grows and you get employees to help you sort trash and even a fleet of trucks to go out and collect trash for you allowign you to get even more and make more money. -Progreshion feels meaningful -I at least have encounterd no bugs as of writing this -its reasonably priced even with its small DLC If you enjoy Simulator games I highly recomend this!

It has technical issues: torch does't work properly, shadows and lighting sometimes look weird and items noclip without a reason. Some of the map desingns are also frustrating. On the otherhand, progression system and related mechanics are great. Starting slow and gradually becoming more efficient feels genuinely rewarding. The game has enough content to keep you engaged even after 37 hours :). Solid 6/10 game that I can recommend people who like simulator games or anyone looking for something chill to play in the background while doing other tasks.
