Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly enjoy its relaxed automation and terraforming loop, with the main complaints being bugs, a very short prologue and the planet-wide tidal waves.

Most reviewers recommend the prologue and describe a calm, satisfying loop of gathering resources, building bases and automating factories, with terraforming and rebuilding industrial areas standing out. Many players find it easy to learn, playable on modest hardware and especially fun with friends. The main criticism is that the prologue is very limited: many note that half the items and all other planets and ships are locked behind the full game, and some find the content thin after a few hours. Common complaints include bugs and glitches, giant tidal waves that only destroy power installations and feel unrealistic, and occasional survival frustration from food or sulfur shortages. A few object to camera behaviour when driving vehicles and to the lack of controller support. Some reviewers find it too close to Planet Crafter or Satisfactory, and several ask for a lower price for the full game.
