very fun i like the free to play feature and its a adventurous game

tHE bALANCING IS SO ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ BAD ITS IMPOSSABLE TO GET ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ T COINS The reason why the game feels poorly polished is probably because Unreal Engine was a bad choice for a game with so many physics updates. Even on fairly strong mid-range PCs, the game stutters heavily when unloading resources from buckets. On top of that, the autosave system is not asynchronous, so because the game autosaves so often, it constantly causes hard lag spikes. The game is also completely unbalanced. In the very first hole, I already had enough money to buy basically everything, so there was no real reason to keep earning more. Another problem is the two currencies you need, which are completely RNG-based. You can only get them randomly from missions in one specific area, and each mission only gives around 20 to at most 100 T currency. Meanwhile, everything that requires this currency costs several hundred T coins. The worst part is that you cannot actually farm this currency consistently because it completely depends on random mission rewards. That means you are forced to wait for the right missions to appear, while also earning way too little. Because of that, it would literally take months, if not over a year, to upgrade to Tier 3, especially since Tier 3 pipes alone already cost around 300 to 600 T coins.

Started in the tutrial as the game advised to get feel for mechanics/controls but the center screen reticle is actually useless nothing but the stores/picking up items seems to accuratelly reflect where the cursor is, placing items on /in objects you have to use the shadow to reliably put them where you want/need. There's a several year saga of a basic tutorial function being lost in the sauce because despite there being muliple ways to achieve early steps the flow text only updates if you follow the exact wording. So you will almost assuredly miss that to make the ring on the anvil you need to smelt your gold, and then reheat the smelted bar (extermely counter inuitive) and then hit the anvil. For me *on controler* the game feel isn't good and the game logic feels needlessly obtuse on top of that so I uninstalled.

The fact you need to buy a hammer to lock your equipment/foundations in place instead of it just being a core feature of your game is a literal joke.

good
