It got negative reviewed blasted because the developers had to abandon it as the did not sell enuf to continue further, but it IS a complete game, just with some bugs. A pair of mods for Crushers fix are suggested tho. This is not a game that was abandoned insome form of scam, it is just the devs ran out of money, and entitled players think the devs owe them. It is not as good as some other factory games, but has a decent story and was enjoyable. Might want to wait for it to be onsale with the hefty price tag.

Single player : this game is great. Multiplayer, : after about elevator level 10 the lag makes the game unplayable. If you're playing alone and like factory games then this is definitely worth playing. If you want a factory game to play with your friends then stay away - the lag ruins the game later on. Such a shame as, in my opinion, the whole game is great and I like all the differences (multi level elevator, upgrade how you make things etc). I REALLY wish the developer would address the multiplayer lag and at least release a small patch. This is a gem of a game ruined by lag :-(

I’m a huge factory game fan. I’ve sunk countless hours into Satisfactory and plenty of others factory games, so I feel a saddened admitting that I almost skipped Techtonica because I let negative reviews put me off. Big mistake. This game is an absolute gem. There’s a ton of content, and the factories you build can get surprisingly complex. What really saddens me out is seeing how harsh some of the criticism has been. Calling this game “unfinished” is really unfair. Rough edges? Yes. Unfinished? Not at all. For the love of all you have dear, If you enjoy factory builders and you’ve been on the fence like I was, don’t let the bad reviews stop you. This game is absolutely worth your time.

Don't let the abandonment issue put you off. I played half of my time in early access and the rest in 1.0. level 4 unlocked. Wow. massive improvement from early access. not getting lost anymore. map is leveled by elevator. best narrated progression system of any of automation game. Stunning visuals. not as daunting as satisfactory or factorio. definitely my favorite. plays great on steamdeck. locked at 40fps. lossless x2. medium settings. max tdp. on power. gpu locked to 1400mhz. got my moneys worth of enjoyment thus far.

This game is super similar to satisfactory. I enjoyed the new challenges with managing the transfer of different items using the inserter system. It felt a little rough around the edges when it comes to the math and i did not like that the resource nodes are finite. meaning, you can and will run out of them over time. i'm very sad to find that the studio has shut down and no further updates will occur.
