A fun if not overly complicated 3D Factorio like game that I find find interesting to build in even though it takes a lot of time and patience. They do it well in the complicated way you have to build to make it all work. The basics are easy to play but you have to look alot up online to figure out how to do anything, the tutorial is vague. Overall enjoying it once I settle my mindset into massive building and connecting of stuff that takes a while to do and figure out, especially the where to build stuff. It all takes a while but keeps me invested. It is a massive game that seems to make you reengineer everything you build once you get new tech to avoid bloat and optimize everything, sort of a pain, remains to be seen how fun it might be... Once I got through the basics and figured out alot and got used to it, it was quite enjoyable, much more so than I thought it would be and made me a big fan of the genre which I wasn't sure I would like.
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.
mine ore, make tools, parts, machines, mine weirder ores make weird metals, make more complex machines, run belts left right north south east west vertically or horizontally, learn what happened, break quarantine, pump sand make stuff from sand! seriously this is accurate, if you like other automation/factory games like Satisfactory this should be up your alley! I initially played this on X1 but it's just as god on PC and between XB and PC I've logged well over 1000 hours but on steam it'll just say 899 hours lol I give this an A+ cus despite not meeting the req's I know how the game can truly perform! it looks great and is fun.
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 :-(
Overall a fantastic game. I completed the story for the most part save for the final floor. Think of it as a mix of Satisfactory and Factorio. Fist person like Satisfactory. Conveyor belt system like Factorio. Please note, it does seem like the game is abandoned by the devs, doing some online research, it seems they spent a lot of time on worthless additions such as laser tag and the "elevator system" essentially squandering what money they had. It is a bit disappointing that its not even on life support, has great potential IMO. Also odd that its still on Steam even though abandoned. If you like factory games, and this happens to be on sale, I'd say go for it.
