You see various types of ores being extracted in different environments. Nah. You just mine in a tiny space station with a few rooms. Your gameplay is restrictively bound to a linear story. No freedom of choice. You cannot set up automation that would let you scale up faster. There is no room in the game for player decisions, wise or stupid. I see a wasted potential and certainly do not recommend it.
I like the idea of the game. 'you run a space store'. Digging in the tunnels- love that. building in the tunnels- this has got to be the worst idea ever. The way the structures are built, how they are shaped, how the transport nodes are designed. None of it is good for tunnels. it sucks. I have to pretty much slap together 15 nodes across the map- to set up several productions for some of the later game stuff. The 'zones' should be designed with that belief automatically. Which it does start OUT like that 'heres a few blue mining nodes go nuts', but it doesn't..go beyond that. Its always blue. I need more red dude, or hell later on, orange. The bots- they are QUICKLY useless. by the time you start automating your mine, the bots are worthless. i bumped into several moments where i was like 'eh i'd rather have them build for me' or SOMETHING. Because transporting ores? my nodes do it faster. Store stuff? four is pretty much overkill, no idea what to do with the other 10. The only thing they are good for is ores on the ground being transported- and mining the dirt clumps, but once those two things are done thats it. theres nothing to do. i think keep an eye on this game, come back in a few months. There are ideas here i like. but atm you arn't missing out.
A fun little game about increasing the production and money per minute earned by building more and more efficient production chains of ore/ingots etc. It's quite addicting. There is however one huge downside to the game which really annoys me: The AI of your robot helpers You unlock these helpers which can take over several jobs, However most likely you will only need two types: seller (two of them in total are enough) and carriers. The carriers are supposed to collect materials lying around and put them into your sale storage. However these robots are the main source of frustration of this game, they are incredibly inefficient, even when you up their carrying capacity they will often just carry one material. This seems to stem from a logic where the bots "mark" one material to pick up and this material is reserved for them, and only after they pick it up, find more of the same material nearby. This seems to lead to to 10 bots reserving 1 material to pick up in an area instead of one picking up all ten and massively slows down your potential for growth. I hope the developers can fix the logic these bots work on. Another downside is that everything is super cramped, you rarely have actual space to build some fun logistics and every machine feels huge and annoying to place in the cramped areas. Other than that performance was flawless.
Do not buy if you would pay more than 10€ / $. Do not buy if you are autistic or high IQ. For those that want more information, this game is rather mediocore in its design, absolute garbage in its logical consistency or world design, above average in its mechanics and actually good in its music & sounddesign. All in all, the experience is worth around 10 bucks, but definitely not more than that. And again, if you are high IQ or autistic, do not buy, it will make you crazy.
Если нравятся idle игры,можно взять. Правда цена игре рублей 500 максимум,а не 1200) Ждите хороший скидон)
Fun will take you a bout 3 days to complete depending on the numbers of hours you play. Hope the do a DLC or expansion
Schönes und entspanntes Gameplay. Aber vor allem für den Preis deutlich zu wenig Inhalt. Es gibt von allem nur eine überschaubare Menge. Es ist auch schade, dass man sich mit dem Laser nicht durch Felswände bohren kann, um Abkürzungen zu schaffen. Das letzte Upgrade für den Laser bekommt man dann auch nur noch für eine sehr kleine Menge an Wucherungen. Ein wenig mehr Endgameinhalt wäre auch gut gewesen. Ich würde hier immer raten, auf einen soliden Sale zu warten. 6,5/10
Fun game. Played to the end 3 times. Biggest complaint is that it crashed a few times, however, no progress was lost since it did an auto save for each crash.
This game is so much fun over the course of my first run i made easily over 100 million, optimized my factory to make roughly 1.67 million every 10 minutes, got a company value of 50 million, made use of every resource node, fully upgraded everything, completed every achievement, and had a ton of fun doing it. If you love factory games but want something low stress to take a break with this is it. not to mention replay ability trying to get everything setup up better, faster, and differently than before. not to mention potential further updates.
I'm loving this game. There is just enough progression that I'm not getting bored waiting to make the first large amount of money needed. I like the little XP rewards too and how they can be spent. I've logged a couple of bugs to do with a mouse pointer misalighnment issue but can still play most of the game with that in place, just not as easy and I'm sure the random clicking I'm doing at times is probably not a good thing.
