At this time, I cannot recommend this game.

This feels like a game that the devs don't actually play / test. Lots of menus are a huge pain to navigate, hitting escape to get out of things doesn't do what you want it to half the time, and many things that should be key-bind-able or change able are not. There's no easy out (escape or right click) of many menus and modes (like build mode), and the radial menu on the right click is beyond bad.

I feel like if a developer of the game actually played it for just an hour they would realize how poor the UI design and experience is, and they could get to fixing it.

While I enjoy the game's systems and mechanics, getting my buildings and research queued, running power, and pretty much doing anything is a completely frustrating experience. This needs a lot of work on the user interface. They have a solid game, but interacting with it is the worst.

Where to start....

I like factory building games (Satifactory, factorio, ...) so i had high hopes after seeing the trailer.
Unfortunatly its nothing like that, its more like a mobile game with all the bloating with side quests to maintain a certain needed resource (money, science, reputation, ...).

There are just to many thing to keep track of and pull you away for the factory building aspect.

* your money, because for some reason power and conveyor belts need money to build instead of resources.
* your science is only available for a ceretain time so you need to maintain it trhough side missions.
* reputation, no clue what it does but probably affect something with the rewards from the side quests.
* side mission galore that you need to do to keep your money and science up and have time limits.
* fail a time limit and you lose money setting you back
* you need to sell your resources to get extra money if needed, but you also need money to send the transport????
* if your science runs dry you have the option to buy it reducing your money again
* haven't got to this part yet but i read up on it, you have to maintain colonists so they don't die and slow down production

if you like this kind of gameplay then this is for you.
its not for you if you are looking for a next factorio or satisfactory kind of gameplay style.

Interesting game but after the release they are slow to finish the game.. I don´t recommend to buy early access games since the developers are becoming lazy to finish the game..
