Techtonica

It got negative reviewed blasted because the developers had to abandon it as the did not sell enuf to continue further, but it IS a complete game, just with some bugs. A pair of mods for Crushers fix are suggested tho. This is not a game that was abandoned insome form of scam, it is just the devs ran out of money, and entitled players think the devs owe them. It is not as good as some other factory games, but has a decent story and was enjoyable. Might want to wait for it to be onsale with the hefty price tag.

Another early access game where they shoved it out the door when they ran out of time, money, motivation, or some combination. It was a good concept that was fun to play with an expansive world to explore and a decent story to unravel. Then they changed everything by splitting the world into levels, introduced new bugs along with the existing ones, and abandoned the game.

Single player : this game is great. Multiplayer, : after about elevator level 10 the lag makes the game unplayable. If you're playing alone and like factory games then this is definitely worth playing. If you want a factory game to play with your friends then stay away - the lag ruins the game later on. Such a shame as, in my opinion, the whole game is great and I like all the differences (multi level elevator, upgrade how you make things etc). I REALLY wish the developer would address the multiplayer lag and at least release a small patch. This is a gem of a game ruined by lag :-(

"You're slacking off. Whatever you're doing - do the opposite of it." Are you serious? Who wrote this? Boss-♥♥♥♥♥, I'm exploring your game for a minute - why don't you shut your lazy mouth and get down here and help. Why am I having to drip feed bars into a terminal? There is a lot of friction here but the relationship it has with the player is the biggest turn-off. Science Fiction is about white guys kicking ass in space and getting space chicks. If that's not happening then shut your pie hole and let's get off this planet. Those are your options. Stop culturally appropriating the genre. If you want to write a cool girl-boss, make a baking game where you date yourself in different outfits. Satisfactory pulled it off because the presentations happened every few HOURS - and even then they added a feature to skip/mute them. Whoever wrote this RUINED some very good work by other people. I could have put up with the UI and really enjoyed this world until the bugs were fixed if I didn't have to listen to a nagging girl-boss on the radio.

The Millennial writing is insufferable. It's not cute, it's not quirky, it's not relatable, it's genuinely insufferable and unlikeable. The only redeeming quality is the factory building and actual gameplay mechanics. Voice volume 0, lads. Despite the review, I don't recommend the game due to the writing unless it's on heavy sale. It's genuinely just that annoying. You go back to the starting area in point ligma or which ever and you get empathy bombed about 'giving up' or something, and from there it just never got better. Seriously, shut up sparks or what ever your name is. edit: never mind, abandonslop with horrible writing I'm uninstalling. Review changed to negative.

There are better 3D Factorio style games than this.

mine ore, make tools, parts, machines, mine weirder ores make weird metals, make more complex machines, run belts left right north south east west vertically or horizontally, learn what happened, break quarantine, pump sand make stuff from sand! seriously this is accurate, if you like other automation/factory games like Satisfactory this should be up your alley! I initially played this on X1 but it's just as god on PC and between XB and PC I've logged well over 1000 hours but on steam it'll just say 899 hours lol I give this an A+ cus despite not meeting the req's I know how the game can truly perform! it looks great and is fun.

The best way to describe the game is 'Half-assed'. If you've never played a game in the genre, you could probably have a good time. If you've played Satisfactory, Foundry, or any others, your going to want to pass. It's not worth the time.

This game should not run as terribly as it does.

Great game. No bugs, nice exploration / story loop Tech tree unlock and factory planning are fun
