Ignore all the unfounded whining. I used to play early-access version at normal difficulty. Now I am replaying the released version in easy mode. Still challenging. They moved the elevator near the starting place and reduced amount of walking. It's a better, still very fun addictive game.
Not sure if i should give tumbs up or down on this one. It has such potantial with an amazing storry now when it's released. Bit enoying that they remade the game so much from early acces and like other ppl said it's enoying that you have to restart after every update. But then again they dont seem to care about the game anymore so prolly no more updates. My big reason for not wanting to give it a tumbs up is cus i dispise the controlls. If u played other base builders before it's going to take you a while to get into it and to me that kinda feel strange that you dont just follow the meta and forces button presses for everything instead. With that said the storry makes up for it in my mind but i would not recomend buying it on full price, it's on sale alot and above 10€ it's most def not worth it.

This and every other Pro feature is free until October 20, 2026. A free account is all it takes.
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.

This game is fun and its lore is interesting. The maps or levels are fun and exciting to explore. Factory building and terrain manipulation are made extremely well and customisation options for this game are almost endless. There are no game like Techtonica and this experience is very unique. Unfortunately i can't recommend this game since after 1.0 update the devs abandoned this game and are no longer updating it. This game had so much potential, but it all went away. This would in my opinion be a 9/10 game if its journey would have continued past 1.0.
Le jeu était très prometteur, mais je ne sais pas pourquoi, les devs ont pris une direction étrange, et les derniers choix qu'ils ont pris ne vont pas dans l’intérêt du jeu en tant que factory game.... Donc, une base sympa, mais ....
El juego es muy bueno
Edit: The 1.0 release seems to have fixed the optimisation somewhat by breaking the massive world into smaller areas you travel between using a freight elevator. Game is good but still abandoned. Buy at 70% off and have a fun night with friends. Amazing game for about 10 hours before building start to tank the FPS from 60 to 24fps and will keep getting lower from there until the game is literally unplayable and this will never be fixed because this game is ABANDONED. DO NOT BUY, Sadly.
