Reviews
If you like factory building games this one is definitely worth a look. The aesthetic is very pleasant and the automation offers a lot of depth and has a lot of room for you to come up with creative solutions for truly automating processes. That being said it does get pretty buggy towards the end of the game if you're playing with 2 or more people. It wasn't ever anything that was game breaking or made it unplayable. We noticed a lot of instances of our worlds not showing the same progress (don't want to go into detail to avoid spoilers) however it usually cleared up with a world restart but not always. Unfortunately the devs have gone dark so these issues may never be fixed. I absolutely loved the game all things considered. if you're on the fence about buying it i would consider your patience for bugs that will likely never be fixed vs how much you like building factories. if you love factories and have the patience i would highly recommend it!

This and every other Pro feature is free until October 20, 2026. A free account is all it takes.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 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.

I just do not understand how you can look at this graph without blood tears.
Not great
completely changed the game into something else after 1.0 release until some of this is fixed this is staying a no of recommendation
Used to have a lot of promise. I think the writing was on the wall that the folks making this game were burned out when they released, of all things, a laser tag update. Then on 1.0 release, they chop up the open world. Just no. Yuck. The game is serviceable if you've never played it before and don't bear ill will. However, my recommendation is if you need to scratch a similar itch to what this used to, I suggest Satisfactory, Factorio, or Foundry to name a few.
HAHAHAHAH
slecht
игра лагает тормозит и вылетает при этом у меня далеко не слабый пк (rtx2060super ryzen 5 2600 16 gb ram ) чего должно быть более чем достаточно для игры согласно системным требованиям. но если откинуть нестабильность игра более чем хорошая для любителей симуляторов заводов более чем сойдёт
BUY THIS GAME! BUY THIS GAME! BUY THIS GAME! BUY THIS GAME! If people want this game to be finished and the devs to continue working on it, buy it. If you own it and talk it down, you are hurting yourself and other players that might be interested. First off, do not believe the negative reviews. This is a great game. Most of the hater-ade is aimed at the fact that the devs had to stop working on the game because of low sales due to negative reviews. Does this game have the depth of satisfactory? Not yet, it just went live in November 2024. I personally love this game because it has a lot of aspects that satisfactory doesn't have. You can tunnel through walls, dig down through the environment to reach things, make endless tunnels for manufacturing. I highly encourage anyone who likes satisfactory, foundry, etc. to give this game a shot and don't listen to the negatives. Remember, you can get a refund if you don't like it. I'm excited for what direction this game is going, if the devs can start working on it again. If you go to their discord page, you will see this game was rushed to 1.0 due to the fact that sales dropped dramatically. If everyone stopped buying from Amazon tomorrow, do you think they will stay in business? No way, that's not how the system works. Buy it, try it, tell your friends, and GIVE. IT. A. CHANCE. Even if you don't love it like I do and a lot of the community, you tried something new. If you play other base building/manufacturing games, give this one a try. The story is fun, there's sarcasm, and it's a very relaxing, well thought out game.
absalutly perfect, its like core keeper and satisfactory had a baby and that child got satisfactory's graphic genes and was a pacifist
