現在12階まで来ました できることがちょっとずつ増えていくのは楽しいです いまのところ下記がとても気になるorストレス (未開放の技術にこれの解決があればいいのだが ・レシピないの? ・ブループリント機能がないから大量設置めんどい ・廃墟を再利用するためには膨大な資材を1つ1つスキャンして消さないといけない(範囲スキャンさせてくれ ・セラミック部品作るための素材に土って書いてあったのだが、土をどの機械に入れてもできない。土をいったん粘土にしてから製錬炉に入れるのが正解・・・・経路あるならちゃんとレシピよこせ とりあえずまだ頑張るけど・・・レシピがまじネック
It's a Game, I guess

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.

it's satisfactory but missing a lot of what makes it great, mainly : sound, good UI and clear view. You are in a cave with no lights and everything has some alien yellow and pink. you can build a base but it's not that enjoyable, I will try again another day, for now I am stuck at the progression of the first tier, you have to wait 25 min for it to unlock ...
The games not abandoned the devs ran out of money to continue making updates and they want to keep updating the game
game is sadly abandoned by the devs and for me and m,any others we cant even play it as its in a non functional state. reachingout to the devs is met with silence. if youve boiught it refund it. really sad too the game was good and had so much potentioal but they just ghosted with peoples money and left the game broken. do not buy from this dev at all. i have done all i can to troubleshoot the game. i even waited 45 minutes after hittingstart new game. it never went past the initilization screen. contacting their support team has still been met with complete silence. turely this is a tradgedy of gaming because it was really a good game when it worked originally. but no more.
For everyone that might want to ever play this game, it wasn't abandoned by the DEV's it was Finished by Them, The ones to Abandon it were the Players that don't understand that if you put your Reviews to negative nobody is going to buy the game, and if nobody is going to buy the game, the devs don't get money from sales since there is no sales, money is needed to continue development, no money no development And for Future Buyers, do Buy the Game, Play The Game and Give it a Good Review, Know that it has problems, but would you rather have this game in state it is? or Don't have it at all?
Если честно то игра понравилась, я так же играл и в ранний доступ но на пиратке и хочу сказать пару слов о лифте: для меня это одновременно и плохое и отличное решение так как с одной стороны прогресс чувствуется сильнее а с другой бегать по карте искать искать обломки и строения было так же интересно. Про остальное особо нечего говорить, это заводы но с сюжетом, при чём не плохим.
Very fun and entertaining and it makes you use your brain to solve problems and I like games like this so if you dint then its still fun but you will have to go to the internet a ton.
Good game
Such a shame the studio abandoned this game on release. Its so poorly optimised finishing it was generally no fun at all... And the ending really does seem like it was thrown together with a real lack of thought and desire....
