Possible One: Lunar Industries

UI does not scale up with resolution change. There is also no slider to do it manually. Considering how rare this issue is, I would think that the Unity engine can handle it by default, but maybe it can't. At 1440p it might be still playable, but at 4K (what I play at) it is not. I will most likely end up refunding after a couple of days of waiting, because my poor eyesight would rather not look at low resolution image, or tiny UI. There is also another issue, not a major one, but it is grinding my gears. We play as managers of a lunar base, built and run by a conglomerate of corporations or something like that. Since this game is supposed to be realistic, you would think that we operate on profit, but that is not the case. We buy things for reputation, and this reputation can be gained by scientific events, if we choose to make a show of them (and forfeit scientific gain), in order to generate "hype" (actual word used in-game). Sending resources back to Earth probably also does generate it. - I would like to get this excavator rover, 2 scientists, 200KG of tools... and I'll have 100KG of food too. - Sir, your total comes to 12% of reputation. - That is a deal! That makes it look as if Earth was running out of reputation, and this corporation went to the Moon in order to mine some of it. Now, I could understand this "currency" if this was being run by a government agency, because space exploration being popular with the voters, is what pushes politicans to grant funding to those kind of things. Alternatively, it can be a "space race", like Apollo program was, or fictional moon base in the TV show "For All Mankind". There is no money to be made from a Moon base, at least not yet. If there was, we would already have at least one.

As a huge fan of For All Mankind, this game instantly caught my attention because it really captures that grounded near future lunar industry vibe. I’m usually not into city builders or management sims, but Possible One: Lunar Industries completely pulled me in. The colony management, industrial planning, and atmosphere already feel surprisingly deep and rewarding, especially for an Early Access title. I’ve played around 7 hours so far and still haven’t finished Phase 2 or even left Region 1, which really shows how much content and depth the game already has. The attention to detail and resource management systems are great without becoming overwhelming. Even in Early Access, the game already shows huge potential, and I already received several updates while playing, so it’s clear the developers are actively working on it. My only small criticisms are that the music can become repetitive after a while, and I’d love to see more shipment cargo options in the future. Overall, I definitely see a lot of potential here and I’m excited to keep following the game’s development until full release.

Sorry tut mir leid aber ich kann diesem Spiel keinen Daumen nach oben geben. Obwohl ich die Idee und das Setting absolut genial finde. ABER dieses Spiel macht den selben sch.... wie jedes andere Spiel dieser Art. Nichts aber auch gar nichts ist mal was neues es ist der selbe Sch... wie es es schon tausend mal gegeben hat. Um eine "Schwierigkeit" eine "Herausforderung" zu simulieren wird nicht etwa was neues gemacht gleich gar nicht was reales sondern nur der übliche Mist wie es all die anderen Spiele es auch gemacht haben. Der Mond, ein Krater, die ja sehr groß sein können bis zu tausenden Kilometern (Googlet mal :-) ) was bekommt der Spieler eine Baufläche die sehr klein ist weil es soll ja eine Herausforderung sein :-) ja lol super. Man soll Bergbau betreiben aber etwas größere Felsen kann man nicht wegräumen um seine Baufläche zu vergrößern NEIN das geht nicht weil das ja ne Herausforderung sein soll LOL. Reaktoren produzieren so wenig Energie das man wieder "tausend" davon Bauen muss WARUM. Zum Start besteht deine Crew aus 2 Mann , DAS GLAUBE ICH nicht, das NASA ESA etc. bei so einer Mission nur 2 Leute schickt das sind doch min. 4-6 Leute. Wie beim Film der Marsianer. Auch ist es wieder genau der selbe sche... wie in andern Spielen dieser Art der Verbrauch von Wasser und Essen , keine 10 Einwohner aber man muss "tausend" Brunnen und "tausend" Küchen bauen um eine Versorgung sicher zu stellen. Es ist der selbe Schei... wie es all die anderen Spiel schon vorher gemacht haben. WANN macht IHR ENTWICKLER mal was neues um eine Schwierigkeit zu simulieren als immer dieses Mist. Was bringt mir das als Spieler wenn jedes Spiel vom Gameplay gleich ist und nur das Setting und die Grafik sich ändert. Liebe Entwickler SAGT ES MIR worin unterscheidet sich EUER Spiel von zig tausend anderen dieser ART und wehe IHR sagt mir das die Grafik und das Setting anders ist :-) WIESO habe ich in einem so riesigem Krater nur so wenig Platz zum Bauen? Wieso produzieren Reaktoren so wenig Energie das ich wieder mal zig stück bauen muss. Wieso "fressen" 4 Leute soviel wie ne Großstadt :-) Sorry Sarkasmus :-) WIESO liebe Entwickler bekommt Ihr es nicht hin einfach mal ne coole Story zu erzählen ohne diesen Mist. Und das ist ne coole Story , eine Basis auf dem Mond ja, das ist sogar richtig Real. Mondgestein zum Bauen , Weltraumschrott sammeln zum bauen (diese Studien und Ideen gibt es wirklich). Liebe Entwickler schnappt euch ein von der NASA ESA Roskosmos CNSA (chinesische Raumfahrtbehörde) fragt den löcher in Bauch wie so eine Mondlandung und Stationsbau abläuft was da alles vorher hingeschickt wird bevor auch nur ein Mensch dann ankommt. ABER BITTE hört endlich damit auf mir eine "schwierigkeit" zu simulieren die einfach nur NERVIG ist und kein Spaß macht. Wieso begreifen es die Entwickler nicht??? Zuerst kommt der Spaß dann erst die Herausforderung und was ganz wichtig ist: WENIGER ist MEHR oder besser gesagt GENIAL EINFACH - EINFACH GENIAL

I just want to start with this statement: I do not want to turn anyone away from the game but I cannot really recommend it either in it's current state. "Put it on the wishlist for now" is my recommendation. Possible One Lunar industries (POLI) There are some good ideas behind the development of this game but as it stands today the game is not really ready for Early Access but that is not the biggest problem it faces. I have been gaming for decades and have seen a lot of promising games crash and burn because the developers target the wrong audience. The huge group of gamers that go for the games with constant peril with max levels of conflict/warfare and all out slaughter, or those that are fans of RPG’s, are not potential customers for a game like POLI. My best advice to devs would be to take a deep breath and evaluate the status of the game, which audience they believe have the best sales potential and then adjust the direction and develop the game so that it stands a better chance of success. While this is done you should not be very active on the marketing front. Please note that any comparison with block buster games that may sell millions the first weeks is ridiculous. What would count as early access success for a game like POLI would be to achieve >50 players at any time and then perhaps getting up to > 1000 with the “finished product”. It would not be a bad idea to start with the question of why some very different games like Banished, Medieval Dynasty or Planet Crafter have done so well. Banished is perhaps the best example as it was launched early 2014 and nothing has been done with the base game since 2015 but it still today have >500 active players at any point in time(“SteamCharts”). That is more than most new indie games can ever hope for. Even an early access game that would be called a resounding success like “The Last Caretaker” does not have more that < 2000. I believe that less focus on campaign/quest/challenge driven storyline that stress the players to the max and more focus on sandbox type content would be good for the game. At least for the normal and easy modes. I will however stress that the devs should not fall in to the trap that many others devs have. There are a lot of gamers that are attracted to sandbox type games but they are generally not at all interested in “creative mode” where there are no cost, no risk - just “flowers and butterflies”. The developer stress that they try to keep it reasonably realistic with today’s science and technical knowledge. But this does not ring quite true if we look at some basic features. - The surface area is covered in a “fog of war” which is highly unrealistic. No one would send a manned expedition to a place that is that unknown. That we would have somewhat limited knowledge about what is below the surface is another matter. - The “Reputation” functionality does not suit this game. No nation or big company will loose all faith in a major project like this in just a few days. I get that it is there to push the player forward and create a sense of urgency but for a game like this I believe that it will rather push a large part of the potential customers away from the game all together. - Power and Heating/cooling need a bit of work. There is no logic to everything overheating that easy down in a crater that always are in the shadows. The temperature should be in the region of minus 100 to 150°C. IR radiation plus drilled cooling pipes should offer a better cooling capacity. And why do I have to manually fill Hydrogen in the cooling units – what is the operator there for?

Unclear and faulty tutorial. Took me 40 minutes for a bug to stop progress completely. Don't think it's ready yet, even for early access.

It’s not fully polished yet, but it has a lot of promise. It’s a colony management sim with lots of technical systems. For example, the Moon has resources like water and metals that you can mine and use to complete contracts for other bases. I liked that new systems open up every few minutes, and I enjoyed the colony management side of the game. There are astronauts, buildings, vehicles, and lots of attention to technical detail. That said, many things are not explained clearly, and the game is quite hard right now. I’ll keep following this game and check back as more updates are released.

Вся карта усеяна неразрушаемыми камнями, которые будут творить логистический ад на вашей базе, заставляя строить не ровные дороги, а кривые зигзаги. Это чувствуется как намеренно созданный дискомфорт, видимо подумали что игра без этих камней превратится в весёлую ферму по штамповке зданий в ряд. Обрадую разработчиков: игра уже является весёлой фермой по штамповке зданий зигзагами. Однако смею заметить, любители подобных игр любят в основном как раз господствовать над ландшафтом, а не господство ландшафта над ними. В общем для меня игра мертва, пока не решат проблему с этими камнями. Плевать что они сделают, полностью их удалят, либо введут возможность это сделать впоследствии, либо сделают это удаление очень трудоёмким, это ключевой вопрос. Скучность геймплея штамповки зданий в ряд решается разнообразием зданий, усложнением цепочек и этапным превращением блока для 2 космонавтов в космический небоскрёб на 100 человек. Поле для фантазии огромное, если конечно они вообще захотят фантазировать.

I waited for this game a long time, played 90 min on the launch version, the opening is still a bit bumpy but beyond the short tutorial it's really fun, especially once you manage to open regions, I played the new update, and it's getting better, This game is fun even at this early stage.

I bought the game today, so i'm playing the updated version, the realism narrative is very refreshing, it looks like real early access but already engaging. Mediation could improve, but it's already chalenging and fun

Ich wollte nur kurz testen, ob man auf dem Mond Industrie aufbauen kann. Antwort: Ja. Ich wollte dann nur kurz eine Produktionslinie optimieren. Antwort: Es war plötzlich 2 Uhr nachts. Für ein Early-Access-Spiel ist Possible One: Lunar Industries schon erschreckend gut spielbar. Normalerweise kauft man Early Access und denkt sich: „Das wird bestimmt irgendwann mal toll.“ Hier denkt man eher: „Moment, das macht ja jetzt schon Spaß.“ Die Performance läuft, die Spielidee funktioniert und die typischen „Ach, nur eine kleine Optimierung noch“-Momente häufen sich gefährlich schnell. Aus einer kleinen Basis wird plötzlich eine industrielle Mondmaschine, die man selbst nicht mehr ganz versteht, aber sie funktioniert – irgendwie. Ich kam für den Mond. Ich blieb wegen der Förderbänder.
