Untangle and revive the efforts of an expedition gone wrong with the help of cubic companions who have motives, personalities, and secrets of their own.

Nice and cosy. WIthout the necessaty to shoot
...habe nach längerer Zeit mal wieder rein gesehen. Trotz den Versuch, das Game über mehrere Level (Lift) zu verteilen, um die Performance zu Verbessern, ist es noch schlimmer als damals geworden.. Ruckelt wie sau, auch ohne viel gebaut zu haben... und dann auch noch nach dem Motto, hier 1.0 ist durch.. wir machen nichts mehr... klasse...allein dafür gibt es einen Daumen nach unten.....

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.

Game is effectively 3D factorio from what i could see, runs like ♥♥♥♥ even with hardware WELL above the recommended specs while playing on lowest settings. I was going to let it bake for a bit and come back once it had better optimization but after reading other people say the 1.0 end of the game is half baked and phoned in, and seeing the devs say the game isnt worth working on anymore i dont want to see just how bad my frames get when i have a REAL factory going because the devs dont want to fix bugs or push optimization patches to make the game at least playable. Refunded.
If you played Factorio or Satysfactory this is not playable. significantly worse

Good
The game is slow but fun. A bit like an underground Satisfactory with a hint of Deep Rock Galactic graphics. Liking Satisfactory is not a guarantee to like this game though. It feels quite different. Lots of thought and nice ideas there, from a gameplay perspective. Hope to see a game with AAA game budget from those devs at some point in the future.
very fun and simplified automation
Вроде хотели сделать красиво, но вышло ташнотворно. Но переборов свои позвы после того как появляется возможность делать пол и сносить всё окружение в ноль игра начинает играть новыми красками. Процесс создания удобен, продуман и хорош, но к концу игры крайне нужны blueprints, которые похоже решили не добавлять, игра переходит адовую в рутину. Ещё написали кучу бесполезной информации по каждому предмету, его историю и тп, но вот каким образом вырабатывать электричество в песочных уровнях так и не понял, но факт необходимости создания очередной огранической фермы без blueprints поставил окончательную точку в этой игре.
