Strong Points: Lots to build and explore automating tasks is satisfying excellent interface thorough and expansive tech tree with excellent search capabilities extremely moddable with active community of contributors and online players It’s in your best interest head on over there and mine some of it manually and be sure to chop up any trees you see along the way. Chances are you’ve landed near some coal, stone, iron, and copper deposits. Your destroyed spaceship has some useful items on it so be sure to scavenge it for parts. The game begins with your character stranded on a planet rich in resources. I’m glad I gave this title a second chance and enjoyed my thirty-six-hour adventure in building a rocket to escape the alien planet my character crash landed on. I must admit that I was taken aback by the game’s lack of guidance during the Early Access days and thought I’d wait for it to be more fleshed out than hammer out a negative review and move on. The final product is nothing short of a masterpiece. You can tell that a lot of thought and love was poured into this game during its eight years in development. Four years later, it reached version 1.0 and came out of Early Access with “Overwhelmingly Positive” reviews.
