Wow. i thought people just didn't give the game a chance before making a review. But that's not it at all. The game is simply not finished at all. The first thing that happened after i started it up, was i tried to move around, and everything was just lagging all over. So i tested my fps, and they were 60, so the game is just really laggy and clunky. After that i got some automation going, and everything was really slow. It turns out it was slow because it only stacks 8 ingots, and then stops. So i connected it to my Habitat that has a storage indicator, but that didn't work. For whatever reason it didn't want to autostore ingots. Also whenever you press any building, it selects and wants you to build tubes. If you then go to any menu it will build the tubes wherever your mouse is hovering. It doesn't matter how many windows are on top. So after placing 50+ tube-connectors all over the base, i fiddled around for some more moments before making the choice to return the game. From what i have seen, i personally don't think this game has a place next to Factorio or Satisfactory.

*Update March 4th, 2022* I've reported many bugs since but no indication the dev works on anything related to the game. In fact, he seems to be doing and streaming about anything but the game's development. I now strongly advise against buying this game. Original review below: ---------- Promising factorio-lite game I enjoyed up until the last tech tier were the game just broke. I'm unable to progress further. Version 1.0.0. Many say it has potential but I have yet to see how the single developer fixes bugs. Until then, it is a wildcard. I liked the idea of the simplified material transfer via tubes and automatic routing. Unfortunately, the larger the factory grows it becomes less and less efficient at selecting routes. For example, I have a building producing rubber, full, next to a building that is starving for rubber, yet the latter requests rubber across the map. The idea of three sub-maps is also nice, but it took me hours to recognize there is a building to travel to the second map which has unique resources needed for progression. I'm yet to figure out how to travel to the third map, given that the related buildings and tech are bugged in the release version. I can't say much about the music and audio; I reduced their volume to half which essentially muted them. I had to lower the visual quality to low across as it barely run 30 fps on my underpowered laptop. It looks acceptable but has no apparent vsync option and got quite a lot of screen tearing. I recommend waiting for major patches.
