For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,419 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 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.

1.0 was a HUGE step back for this game. So many things have been ripped out at the last minute, leaving the game a much different and worse experience for it.
Unfinished Game... Playing feels like pure waste of time Don't buy it, even if it's on sale, because you'll just be wasting your time.
Similar to Satisfactory. A bit more varied with a story behind the quests.
OUI MAIS... Le jeu est vraiment excellent et on a différente option qui permette de rendre le farm moins energivore ainsi on peut entamer une partie normal ou une parti en facile qui boost toutes vitesse de raffinage et de production ou une partie personnalisé qui conviendra à notre convenance. Le jeu est fluide et très beau graphiquement les effets de lumières fluorescent de la flore souterraine rend vraiment bien PAR CONTRE J'AI LACHER L'AFFAIRE à cause du sable ! (niveau 15) les dernier étage c'est toujours la même chose : pomper du sable pour révéler les bâtiment liée à l'histoire et attention c'est pas une ou deux pompes mais là où j'en suis c'est 24 ! on sent que les devs on voulu gonfler artificiellement la durée de vie du jeu et c'est plus LOURD à subir qu'autres chose au finale. Parfois vaut mieux un jeu qui n'as pas une longue durée de vie mais où on s'amuse bien qu'un jeu à la longue durée de vie mais qui est plus monotone qu'autre chose.
Les changements de la version 1.0 n’ont visiblement pas été appréciés par beaucoup, au vu des avis très négatifs. Je partage donc mon avis pour contrebalancer. L’exploration en open world était très laborieuse en Early Access. Maintenant, elle a été remplacée par un système de niveau que vous allez devoir découvrir en "minant" (comprendre ici le fait de mettre des drills dans une machine qui débloque des niveaux). Ce nouveau système permet d’introduire les mécaniques du jeu et les ressources de manière plus fluide, tout en offrant un accès plus rapide aux gisements intéressants grâce à la téléportation entre les niveaux. De mon côté, je n’ai rencontré aucun bug depuis que j’ai repris en 1.0, avec plus de 30 heures de jeu à ce jour. Certes, il est moins complexe qu’un Satisfactory ou un Factorio, avec une gestion moins fine des ressources, des convoyeurs, etc. Mais pour contrebalancer, je le trouve plus agréable et plus gratifiant que ces derniers. Le côté scénario apporte une fraîcheur et une immersion que les cartes souvent assez vides de Satisfactory n’ont pas. Une belle alternative, une sorte de Satisfactory/Factorio lite qui change agréablement :)
This is cringe. It was very perspective, but 1.0 is just weird abandonware with like 30% of content required for it to be considered anything but garbage.
I can see what it should have been, however you can tell the Devs ran out of time and money and just slapped this together as a "finished product."
После всех долгих лет оптимизации, эта игра всё ещё не может выдать 60 fps на старте новой игры с 50% масштабом разрешения и минимальными настройками графики (50-55 максимум). Даже киберпанк на таких настройках выдаёт у меня 90+. И это я ещё на начал строить... Что-то же, боюсь на этом данную тему можно закрывать, эта игра никогда не будет оптимизирована для "слабых" ноутбуков, если вы можете назвать слабым то, что позволило мне пройти киберпанк до конца.
