What goes wrong
The exploration and combat elements (and lack of a driving force) take away from what could be a great factory game.
This isnt a game its a full time job thats repetitive and unpaid. ♥♥♥♥ THAT I would rather have a life.
Literally couldnt play the game any time i loaded in it would blue screen me
Unplayable since update 8. Constant stuttering while moving, 3 years later and nothing has changed.
I dont hate this game, i just hate how im too stupid to understand it so i just deforest everything for biofuel
What goes well
A lot of thought went into the design and it shows.
great game experience
Holy wow, insanely good. You can easily sink days on end into this. I waited for the sale but this is easily worth full price. I know for a fact I will put hundreds of hours into this at least.
