good
This is a great game for anyone who enjoys factory building, like in Satisfactory. The world is beautifully build and the story is interesting to follow. You could see how much work and love the devs put into world building, especially in the first few levels. Beginning and and Mid-Game are a lot of fun, but whoever thought the Sand levels were a great idea, needs to just stop. One sand level, maybe Sierra, or two would have been more than enough. The others were pure grind to make the game longer and basically took all the fun away in the endgame. I only finished the game, because I wanted the full achievements, but would have stopped playing after the second level of sand, if it wasn't for completing them. All in all, I would still recommend the game, because the building part, the setting up the factory, was a lot of fun.

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.

Schönes Spiel, toll anzuschauen, mit einigen Elementen, die es sonst in dem Genre nicht gibt. Vor allem hat es auch eine richtige Geschichte! Die Entwicklung wurde wohl zwar abrupt beendet, allerdings liegt hier auch schon ein schönes Spiel vor. Bisher noch keine Bugs. Ein erfrischend neuer Ansatz. Vielleicht finden die Entwickler wieder Mut für ein paar Updates, wenn die unnötigen negativen Kommentare abnehmen. :-) Ich habe das Spiel für unter 10€ im Sale bekommen. Dafür ist es wirklich ein schönes Spiel. Nach 5 Stunden bin ich eher noch begeisterter vom Spiel.

記憶喪失の主人公が異星の地下から上へ目指す工場建設ゲーム Satisfactoryと比較されがちだが体感的にはSubnautika+Factorioが近いところかな ただしこのゲーム独自の謎仕様が多い為苦労しやすい (例えば低レベの掘削機・精錬機と排砂ポンプは電気使えないとか) それでもやってやろうという硬派?な工場長におすすめ 如何せんユーザーレビュー通りの出来栄えなのであしからず 一番厄介な階層14・15の砂抜きに関してスクショをご参考までに
triste terem abandonado o jogo
RPG Fabrikaufbau wirklich gut umgesetzt. Allerdings Lagt das spiel mehr, je mehr Items man irgendwo gelagert hat... Also am besten so wenig wie möglich zwischenlagern, dann läuft es flüssiger!
Schade was die Devs den Game angetan haben Das Game hatte so viel potenzial aber die Devs waren zu Geldgierig .....
Sad so Sad. Suing for whiplash!
