Sandustry

super fun so far

I've been waiting for this and it does not disappoint. The storyline moves the play forward with reasons for exploring and for researching tech so that you don't get blinkered vision and focus too much on one particular area. The space available for building is great and when you make as many mistakes as I have, you appreciate being able to sprawl a little, although there are examples of miniature factory builds available on the Discord. I'm a lot more comfortable with overwhelming my factory and then spending time fixing the problems rather than getting it right first time. I suspect this is why I like the Biffa traffic fixing videos so much, but I digress. I've only got 6 hours in gameplay for the v0.5.2 EA release but I've not had any crashes or lagging even with high use of the conveyors and lots of particles moving about. The FPS is holding up and the responsiveness of the game has dramatically improved from the previous v0.0.5 demo. I'm now going to un-focus my eyes, get some sleep, and get back to the mines tomorrow. I may very well dream of Lumlings.
