I want to start by saying that this game still needs a lot of work. There’s definitely fun to be had, and on the surface everything appears to function correctly. However, once you get deeper into it, you begin to notice issues. As someone who enjoys automation-focused games, these problems stand out quite clearly. The two most frustrating issues for me relate to logistics and performance. First, crews frequently pick items off rails and move them to storage areas because the robot arms transfer items from the rails to assemblers too slowly to override their collection AI. This causes storage areas to fill up unnecessarily and requires constant manual intervention. Second, performance drops significantly with crews larger than about 40—FPS can fall to around 15 on maximum speed, which severely impacts gameplay. Beyond the bugs, there are also several quality-of-life shortcomings. There’s no copy-and-paste functionality for settings on containers, assemblers, etc, which makes configuring large systems extremely tedious. Additionally, there’s no “produce until X is in storage” option, meaning automation setups can’t maintain automatic stock levels of items... Which sucks big time. There are many other issues I could list, but I don’t want to give the wrong impression. The game is good and worth its price, and there’s real enjoyment to be found here. It just feels like it could become much better with a bit more time and polish. It needs put back in the oven.

The Last Starship provides a much more immediate and linear gameplay compared to its direct inspirations. It features lite elements from factorio and its kind, x4 foundations' automation of fleet logistics management and a heavy inspiration from Cosmoteer's ship building and combat wrapped up with the pleasant aesthetic of Rimworld. I just wish there were more content and variety within it.

It's a fun game! Oddly addictive in ways. The graphics style is similar to those like rimworld, or prison architect. You have a lot of freedom with your ship builds. The systems connect in somewhat intuitive ways, very similar (surprise) to prison architect. Campaign is cool, survival mode for a more challenging experience, akin to FTL where you are outrunning a bad thing and trying to save who you can along the way. They even have a bit of automation that you can get into if you desire, complete with belts and grabbers. It's not terribly complex, but has enough complexity to be interesting and provide hours of enjoyment.

One of my favorite games already and it's not even finished! A good mix of FTL/Space Haven/Rimworld/Avorion, i'd say. At least i enjoyed all of them and this hits the right spots. You can build multiple ships and either fight or enhance your industry. You can have stations and miners. It got all the nice things. I feel like it still needs some features, some content, more customization, etc. But it's already worth to buy and play!
