“Got thousands of hours (cumulated) in supply chain automation games and this is a solid Yes for me. It's more chill compared to similar games games but at least you can go AFK without a rupture ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ you up if you…”
“I've been really getting into this. The first couple of hours of tutorial and manual resource gathering were a bit ehhhh but once it starts coming together with mining automation you're just like "I'll just carry on…”
“There isn't really a reason why you shouldn't buy this game. It's challenging, never enraging, doesn't lag, not bug-filled mess, it's not a super experience title that makes you choose between dinner or a game. I'm…”

“Very solid automation game. It's easy to pickup, runs smooth, and all the QOL in the world. There's a variety of work you can cycle through, and the progression feels very solid. I consider this on par with dyson sphere…”

“It's ok, they say it is 1.0, which was my mark to buy it after looking at it earlier. However it doesn't feel 1.0, and it's a fairly shallow game, small maps with fixed resource points, no real dynamism in your…”

“Note: developers response at the bottom voice for "Nova" in the game is voiced by AI. You can easily notice the artifacting that is apparent in other AI generated voice lines. i asked both in the steam community…”
“Uses LLM for tutorial voice generation and does not disclose it”
“I really really really like this game. Rift breaker vibes at a really great price. Lost 11 hours in my first day I only write negative because of the precedent of using AI for game development. The only voice in the…”

“I'm sorry, but this just isn't very good. At its best it's a very shallow city builder; at its worst it's a hodgepodge of half-baked mechanics lazily implemented. There are none of the logistical puzzles that form the…”
“TLDR: The game is hit-and-miss. Some parts were interesting but the game is designed in such as way that you will be waiting a lot no matter how you play it. Having played this game through to completion with the 1.0…”

“Amazing game! 7/10 It sits somewhere between classic automation games, with a difficulty level between Riftbreaker and Satisfactory, and its overall design is very approachable. A single bus can handle most of the…”

“Updated review (~180 hours in): Holy cats, I didn't realize this review was so popular, probably because the game just went v1.0. I'm actually not finished with it yet, but wanted to add some new thoughts to my review because it's getting looked at. First of all, I echo most of…”
— a player, Steam review · 217 hrs played“So far its good, can't put it down. Need to really think about storage transfers a bit and filtering outputs, but it has lots of promise and its addicting. If you like factory games, this one is a solid choice for the price.”
— a player, Steam review · 11 hrs played“Huuuge time sink, but also nothing timed, so you can do everything on your own pace. Bit annoying that upgrades are tied to some campaign progress, while you could use them much earlier. Otherwise very fun game. Would love more levels to the base, as starting with only two…”
