A fun little game about increasing the production and money per minute earned by building more and more efficient production chains of ore/ingots etc. It's quite addicting. There is however one huge downside to the game which really annoys me: The AI of your robot helpers You unlock these helpers which can take over several jobs, However most likely you will only need two types: seller (two of them in total are enough) and carriers. The carriers are supposed to collect materials lying around and put them into your sale storage. However these robots are the main source of frustration of this game, they are incredibly inefficient, even when you up their carrying capacity they will often just carry one material. This seems to stem from a logic where the bots "mark" one material to pick up and this material is reserved for them, and only after they pick it up, find more of the same material nearby. This seems to lead to to 10 bots reserving 1 material to pick up in an area instead of one picking up all ten and massively slows down your potential for growth. I hope the developers can fix the logic these bots work on. Another downside is that everything is super cramped, you rarely have actual space to build some fun logistics and every machine feels huge and annoying to place in the cramped areas. Other than that performance was flawless.

Now that I've earned all the achievements in the game... I played the demo first and wasn't 100% convinced. In the end, I bought it because it wasn't too expensive and – most importantly! – it was finally a game that was being released in its entirety and not in early access. That's rare these days. You land on a planet that has been more or less contaminated, and you have to clean it up by mining. You can upgrade the laser, which allows you to remove stronger rocks, etc. You can find a total of 15 small robots Erfis that you can assign to collect materials, fill machines or sell items. And most importantly, you should definitely build transport routes. Lots of them. It's needed, if you want to progress a bit faster. All in all, I had a lot of fun with the game and can recommend it. To the developers: a DLC with additional content (new planet, other ores, etc.) would be nice.

This game is fun.....however its short. first play through was complete at 20hrs, and honestly could have been done in < 16hrs, had I not taken my time and optimized each smelting station before moving on to the next area. But for $14 in my opinion it was worth the money, but I probably wouldn't pay any more for it, considering the limited content. Besides the short playtime the other issue I have with it is space. the machines, drills, smelters, etc are huge, which wouldn't really be an issue, except there are hardly any large open spaces to build in. By the time you get to late game there is hardly anywhere to build the core forges and you end up with a mess just trying to find open space. DEVS, give us more room to build! for a game that takes place in space. there is hardly any room to work with! Overall I give it 3 out of 5 stars. if you like logistics games it is fun, just wish there was more too it.

Fun for the most part, but once you get past the first three tiers it's basically just an idle game. The amount of money you make compared to what you need is ridiculously small. It's just leaving the game open for hours on end waiting for stock to build up so that you can sell, and the last tier of items is somehow worth basically nothing, and really only used to beat the game. Pretty sure they just wanted to inflate the average amount of hours on Steam with this choice. Would've been better if they just kept the upgrades scaling the way did early on. Still amusing enough for the price point.

Love the game. Slow at the start but helps my craving for mining and smelting 😂
