TLDR For the price id say this game is mostly worth it for the 1.0 experience alone.

I want to love this game however there are a few issues that Im not sure are going to get fixed. The 1.0 version is as I remember from years ago and is a fantastic start of a game. The game play loops are fun albeit simple in some regards. But it generally still feels like an early access game with the glitches and bugs and general jankyness that it still has. This would not be an issue if it felt like the creator was going to continue working on this version however I have seen post from him that leads me to believe he is dropping support for this game and going to mostly leave as is aside from some major bug fixes. (I would love to be wrong about this btw). The real issue arises from the 2.0 version or the beta test versions which are a huge sidestep to the original. Gone is the cute blocky style of the old and now comes in a more realistic version that honestly makes things feel more dated than acting as an upgrade. The new version does come with some changes and better balancing of the game mechanics and a much bigger world to explore but at the cost of a huge more amount of bugs and glitches that can seriously dampen the play-ability and how much enjoyment you will get.

I would suggest the dev keep this 1.0 version updated with fixes and general QOL updates. However the 2.0 experience really needs a separate steam page given how much work still needs to be put into it. I would think a goodwill gesture to the 1.0 players of being given keys to the new (2.0 version) once split would be fantastic allowing them to play which ever version they like best and allowing the dev to get a more dedicated early access crowd for the 2.0 experience.

Surprisingly accurate while being easy to understand. Find materials and make parts for weapons and tools. I especially enjoy being able to upgrade my tools myself as I progress.
