Game is good so far, am playing with a buddy at the moment and it's actually really fun with more people :)
I have found some hate on this game but most reviews and videos on this game are outdated and it seems like they changed a lot things to make the game better, and don't get me started on the LOOOOOORE. There is some weird hitbox things where if you go to certain spots and have the right momentum you can go right through ground or structures. Unlike satisfactory the story is more in your face but I think it only adds to the experience Thank you, have a good day.

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 love the game i dont know why people dont like it more
If you want the catharsis of a well built conveyor system with a good story and a lot of resource management and automation at your fingertips, give this a try. Worth.
игра просто ужасно оптимизирована. надежда была на релиз, но после релиза ничего не поменялось и в плане геймплея стало менее интересно с блядским лифтом. игра оказалась просто наебаловом на 1000 рублей
Where to start? It is a factory game without blueprints, the tech tree is a horribly convoluted mess, what story there is is incomplete, I've encountered sound bugs, some visual glitches and none of these or other issues will ever get adressed since the studio folded. What distinguished it at one point was the deformable terrain feature. But nowadays you have other, likely better options for that. You might want to give this one a miss.
Este es el tipo de juego que nos hace pensar que comprar un juego en Early access es una mala idea, nos prometieron cosas, apoyamos la idea y a pesar de que todo parecía ir viento en popa... abandonaron el juego. y ahora yo ya no compro juegos (licencias) Early access
This is not the most polished game. It has some performance issues and some clunkiness in the second half, but overall it's a very solid factory game. Considering the price, if you like automation games, you'll probably not regret playing this one
cant even join my friends game after one day and the only error message i get is three random question mark like the game doesnt even know why it wont let me join
Sadly the company that made this game seems to have gone out of buisness, and there are a few points in the progression where a bit more polish would have been nice, but the game feels finished for the part I played through so far. They seem to have cared enough about their game to finish it and polish it as much as they could, and it does feel pretty finished. It's not as polished or pretty as somethign like satisfactory but I think this is a decent game that can stand on it's own, with it;s own artstyle and quirks.
