It's alright. The issue with the game is that progression isn't straightforward and you always feel like you're playing sub-optimal, if haven't figured out something crucial. You can honestly take your time, as the devs just throw opportunities at you and you'll feel spoiled for choice what to do for a given day. Need Money? -Traps and expensive bait, and you'll typically profit from these. -Any vegetables about to rot, or you have more than a stack? Sell them to the herbalist. For the herbalist, Bob, and Joe, you can also visit them in-person to trade with when you're in the area. -Making furniture and selling it to one of the traders. Buying objects from one trader, deconstruct them, and construct the furniture that a trader wants. It's time-consuming and the profits are pretty slim, but it's how you'll level these two initial traders. See an item being asked for and you don't have the recipe? Chances are you have one in your home and you need to deconstruct it to learn it's recipe. Just be sure to replace the one in your home, as you may need a certain amount for the agent's inspections. Important: When buying new weapons from Bob or Joe, deconstruct them, so you can learn their recipes. If you're melee weapon is about to break, you can deconstruct and reconstruct them to repair it for no cost except time. Joe buys pickaxes, axes, and other weapons, so this is how you fulfill those. The secret recipe that Joe sells is well worth the money and basically replaces the shotgun and melee weapons. Rifles can be found in the desert at random. -Level 4-5 of mines is where you'll gather trade items to sell for a lot of money, and is probably the best money-making method with little time/investment needed. Just be sure to stay on top of your crude oil to gasoline, iirc both excavators on levels 4-5 give you crude oil. Craft the backpack, as soon as it's available, and fill the quickslots with food items like jerky. -With the gasoline stocked up from the mines, bring 20-25 gasoline to explore the desert, and whatever materials you find, you can construct furniture from for more money, if you trully need it. The desert is mostly for collecting electronics and canned goods. A tip for the desert is to use one or two of your backpack quick-slots to store the canned goods, as it doesn't count to weight and you can stack 20 per slot. Feel rushed? Don't be, there's no time-limit to the game, and as long as you're doing something or anything, you're making progress. The traders take time to level, so if you spend in-game days just leveling traders in-between quests, it's totally fine. Completing the minuteman's quests means that [spoiler]the agent will leave you alone and you'll get a special ending. Joe has the geiger-counter, and the item after that is in the sleepless's base in the mine (it's the small face statue on a table).[/spoiler]

I'm not sure how I really feel with this game because I want to like it but its mechanics feel a bit "pushy", the game makes you rush constantly which is kind of an issue with building games. I didn't find any slider to slow down the game and its tutorial barely tell you the barebones. The interface is somewhat counterintuitives and would benefit from quality of life improvements. Lots of extra steps, and it's easy to miss all the inspections juts because you're doing what you're supposed to do. Hunger, sleep, OK it's normal but it often feels obtrusive, especially that 3rd life bar that is "preparedness", a mixed concept reflecting a personal neurotic feeling. The idea is good but all of this feels more annoying than manageable. It takes a lot of trial and error and knowledge, more than logic, to balance the time devoted to each task properly. So there is an easy mode for that but I'd rather slow down the game or use a pause system to give orders. It would make a lot more sense. I really wanted to enjoy this little game, I like its sarcastic and satiric edge, but it's a disappointment. Maybe I'll come back to this review lated but let's say it's a really mixed feeling and I wouldn't recommend it unless you're a hardcore fans of base builders and have some spare time.
