에휴.. 0.5버전에서 땅 제일 아래부터 제일 상단까지 다 뚫어서 기둥만들어놓으면서 놀았는데.. 0.6 어따가 버려버리고 1.0 출시하면서 전에있던 세이브파일 못쓰게만들고 맵디자인같은거 변경하고 런쳐버리다니; 1.0 나오면서 많이 바뀌었다고 해서 접었다가 이번에 다시했는데 맵이 크던 작던 나중가면 랙걸리는건 똑같지만 맵 나눠논것도 탐험하는 재미가 조금 줄어든거지 할만하다고 생각한다 개발자놈들 베타로 0.5로 돌아갈수만 있게하고 런쳐버리다니 새로 냈으면 사람들말을 다시 듣거나 있는 그대로 밀고나가던가 하지 초반 60프레임이던거 20프레임 나올때까지 열심히 했는데.. 쓰읍
I like factory-automation games. I've bought this one in early access and had fun playing it, it had great potential. I've spent around 20 or so hours then I left because it was still early access and there was not much left to explore. Now I've come back and seen that game was abandoned by the devs in a quick rush.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 22 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,513 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.

Es is ein sehr nices factory game macht sehr viel spas aber man kann es nur solo spielen also nicht mit frunden
КРУТА
Ignore all the unfounded whining. I used to play early-access version at normal difficulty. Now I am replaying the released version in easy mode. Still challenging. They moved the elevator near the starting place and reduced amount of walking. It's a better, still very fun addictive game.
This game is fun and its lore is interesting. The maps or levels are fun and exciting to explore. Factory building and terrain manipulation are made extremely well and customisation options for this game are almost endless. There are no game like Techtonica and this experience is very unique. Unfortunately i can't recommend this game since after 1.0 update the devs abandoned this game and are no longer updating it. This game had so much potential, but it all went away. This would in my opinion be a 9/10 game if its journey would have continued past 1.0.
El juego es muy bueno
Liked the game. 3d simpler satisfactory without combat, but with minecraft terrain editing. The final tiers seem to be re-done fit current resources instead of adding new ones for the higher tiers, but from the sounds of it, this was a time-crunch quick-fix due to budget cuts. But it did work out in the end. There's a small area that's completely confusing that if you wandered off on the map you could discover it. Neat thing was it was for multiplayers somehow? but it was half-implimented it feels like, like a project idea that was dropped mid-way through. But it's neat to play around with anyways. The Elevator shaft was a neat idea that I really liked, and discovered it was a last-minute change of some sort? But it did combine all the maps to help with their optimization of belts (split your factory over multiple floors so the game doesn't struggle on one floor) IF you find it on sale, it's definitely worth it, more fun if you have a buddy to help build things with. But do go in mind, This game is done, it is as-is. The devs have moved on, the publisher has absorbed the company, and or it's not financially viable to get the final polish on this gem. On the other hand, it has a define ending and it's not super-long to get to like other factory games so it's a great intro to factories type with a 3d feel.
Edit: The 1.0 release seems to have fixed the optimisation somewhat by breaking the massive world into smaller areas you travel between using a freight elevator. Game is good but still abandoned. Buy at 70% off and have a fun night with friends. Amazing game for about 10 hours before building start to tank the FPS from 60 to 24fps and will keep getting lower from there until the game is literally unplayable and this will never be fixed because this game is ABANDONED. DO NOT BUY, Sadly.
