May 2025
Seems like it has been in development forever but it is now starting to take shape that I can see and I am starting to revisit it more often to check things out. UI can seem a bit perplexing at first but once you get the hang of left or right clicking on items to see and do different things then it sorta becomes more natural. It is still hella cluttered if you ask me but I make do alright. It's a fun, quirky game with some very cool mechanics akin to rimworld in many ways but still doing it's own thing in space which is cool. I have no doubt that by the time it is finished it will be a real one of a kind game If robbing would be space pirates of their vital organs to sell on or even using their now vacated husk as a shell for some of your worker bots Ai Cores sounds like fun then I say jump in.

I played 2-3 versions back and now played again. I like the direction where the game is going. The UX has improved massively, and it feels way more polished than a year ago. The game also seems to get a bit more of its own personality, distancing from rimworld a little bit. The two recent negative reviews I see about the game recently becoming grindy, and having circular dependencies in the tech tree: yes, I feel it too, the game is a bit grindier than before in the early game, I agree that it is too grindy at the moment. The tech tree has also become harder to navigate, but I do not think it has a circular dependency with plastic, at least I haven't encountered one. Also, while it is a bit of a grind to look for basic resources, once you get a comfortable stockpile it is much more smooth sailing, at least with regard to the basics, and upgrades for your mining gear feel appropriate for where they are in the progression. I think I like the game's focus on managing ship systems mainly over colonist needs (like in rimworld). Though colonist needs are still a consideration, they are much more disposable than in rimworld, and that's fine! Your ship and your robots are the main protagonists. I do have some smaller annoyances with the game still: I would suggest that the game should add a more realistic thermal management. It is extremely not realistic that things can only overheat if they are in an atmosphere. Ship systems should need radiators and active cooling solutions, heating up the atmosphere should only be a side effect. I also find the energy production with matter converters a bit boring, since it essentially removes a challenge in energy production in the early and mid game. It is 100% viable to just burn more steel plates. The current random events and combat (breach capsules) can be simplistic and immersion breaking. The universe feels more full of stations and traders than before, and I hope combat will at some point be updated to feature ship to ship combat and boarding. Another annoyance is the improper use of units. The game uses kW as a unit for battery charge levels. This is incorrect, watts are the unit of power, not energy. The appropriate units for battery capacity / current charge would be kWs or kWh. Needing to research basic 20th century technologies like fuses on a starship also feels immersion breaking. The technologies we spend effort researching should feel cool, ground breaking. I'm fine with reliability upgrades to ship components to reduce the rates of random failures, and with rewarding immersive systems to mitigate random breakdowns. The rimworld style random events thing doesn't quite fit the game I think.

Great game, but yet again an EA, where a lot of nice features are not yet implemented. So either buy play and done. Or wait and enjoy when fully finished product. This is more and more a problem for me. I either play the game and finish it without the fun features or I shelf it and end up forgetting about it because other games...

If you are into colony simulators, ie. Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress, then this game is for you. If you are also into space games, then this game is definitely for you. Dev is constantly working on the game, and is mostly streaming it live on twitch. Great content with hours of fun!
