Good Game
Hey there, i bough your game and i felt amazed by the color placement and their vibration, you (company) have created such an amazing game, so unique, but theres a problem... I cant play it above 30 frames because the optimization of the polygons, effects and perhaps the code is realy low, i am poor, so my PC isnt nothing amazing, rtx 2060 and a i7-8750h, it as already 7 years, but even so i play other things way more demanding and i play it with 60+ frames.. so pls for the love that devs placed on the project, just do some optimizations, not asking for more content, just optimization...

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

The game felt pretty interesting in the pre-release and felt like a game I would want to play. Lots to discover and explore, very beautiful. Now it feels so much smaller. I know it was done to improve console performance and let more people experience the game, but the open world was soooo much more interesting. The factory aspect of the game was pretty decent and had its own unique feel to it, but the rushed release kinda fell a little flat for me. I saw the tag release but didn't pay much (if any) attention to it and just kept going about my business exploring the vast underground and building various machines to accomplish my goals. The game feels a bit more grindy now, less exploration but still lots of stuff to make so you kinda just idle a lot. I'm fairly veteran in the genre as well. Factorio, Fortresscraft, Satisfactory, Shapez, etc. Been looking for a long time to fill the void of fortresscraft and this sort of filled that bucket, but now I feel like the game has too much overlap with factorio and satisfactory but with a worse execution. I wouldn't necessarily say don't buy it, but its got some rough edges that apparently won't be seeing any attention from its devs, you might be better off looking elsewhere unless you are just out of ideas in other games.
worthwhile factory game to play, bought in early access and they turned it into a gorgeous game, if you like factory games you'll love this one.
For the most part, it's fine. It has issues, bugs, and balancing for example. But the biggest disappointment is the lack of followup and how abruptly the story ends. I know funding got pulled, but to still charge $40 for a game that feels unfinished is kind of a di*k move. If you can get it for $5 it's a nice few hour distraction if you don't mind a bit of a grind, otherwise, there are dozens of far better games to spend your money on.
worst ever UI ever!
