EDIT: regardless of my previous review i have switched to a down vote purely for the constant attacks on my system that even windows defender cannot block, from this games files. no other steam game flags defender. uninstalled and will remain as such.

like virtual villagers but working correctly....so far
downsides are the interruptions from the captain that halt everything production wise and the lack of any progress when offline. the latter would not be an issue if the game could be minimised or left playing in the background but both just freeze game and open the options screen.
this means you have to sit and watch and occasionally click.

best played in bursts because of the flawed design but worth the almost nothing i paid for it
