Out of Ore

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A MEH REVIEW. I BOTH RECOMMEND AND DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU PLAY THIS GAME. IT IS A VERY MIDDLE GROUND KIND OF GAME. Unfortunately as of right now the game is extraordinarily buggy. OEM parts last forever, while high quality parts die in minutes. Loaders are incredibly buggy and inconsistent, the "GPS" (Why are you even calling it that) doesn't have an auto leveler, its almost there. And quite enjoyable when it does work, but the incredibly terrible physics engine combined with the buggy, inconsistent, and feature incomplete vehicles makes the game a no at its price point (or on a major sale) Honestly, my biggest most prevalent issues are what seem to be the GINORMOUS range of the buckets on Loaders, and that the "GPS" doesn't have an auto-leveler so you don't have to manually fiddle with it every time the terrain changes a single voxel (Please rename this, most layman will not understand that the GPS has a level assistant, just name it "Machine Control" or "Level Assistant"). Loader buckets tend to place voxels on top of whatever you're digging, even if the bucket is facing straight upwards. Most vehicle keybinds were made drunkenly and with no thought, rhyme, or reason to them. Many of the controls for many of the vehicles are inverted for some reason, making it near impossible to use them without rebinding literally everything. Please change the default keybinds to something way more sane and human to use. Bulldozers need their keybinds changed, you shouldn't have the pitch position on the same keybind as the roll position. This causes all sorts of issues where you raise the sled on the bulldozer, and it also goes crooked and wonky (because they're the same keybind). This goes for any and all vehicles that have a yaw, roll, and pitch. Roll/Yaw/Pitch need to be a different keybind than each other. (I rarely see ALT used in vehicles, take advantage of the fact you have 3 different keys. Shift, Ctrl, and Alt.) The belt system is probably one of the worse I've seen. You're forced into spaghetti since there's only one kind of merge, and you can't change which belt is the output and which ones are inputs. Belts also have to be powered, which is fine, but the way to power them is incredibly ugly. I'd rather just be able to slap a power input on any belt and now any connected belts are ALL powered. We need to be able to change the inputs and outputs on the merger, the current one has so few use-cases I rarely if ever use it, and when I do its the most pain in the ass and ALWAYS turns into spaghetti. Absolutely need a revamp on this belt system, having to buy each belt separately is also incredibly tedious and time consuming. Finally, your game has a singleplayer mode but isn't at all designed for a single player. Many of your machines REQUIRE two people, which is fine. Its meant to emulate real life. Just add some simple basic trailers that you can pull with machines that require someone to follow it around in a dump truck. I will give it credit, this game is doing something most others aren't. And honestly, if you're willing to put up with many many bugs, lag spikes, and a general lack of QoL features then yes get this game. It is absolutely fun when it works. I just cannot recommend for those who are looking for a more functional game.
