Overwhelmingly positive? You've got to be joking.

Grindy, running & inventory management, tedium simulator.
Weak, uninteresting story, with 0 sense of mystery.

Literally the only reason you feel compelled to continue playing this is to see how the world will change as you terraform the planet.

Throughout the game you're always going to be missing materials to continue your progress.
The issue is, by the time you get to the mechanics that are supposed to permanently solve this issue drones/teleporters you'll be bored out of your mind.
Thanks to having to manually carry items from your drillers => to the base => to the other drillers with other materials => and back to base again... Using your ♥♥♥♥♥♥ little (32 or so) slot backpack.

And that's it, running, the game.

Oh, and also waiting, lots of waiting (sometimes you realize that maybe instead of improving your heat/pressure generation by 10% you're just better off waiting an extra 5 minutes to get to the next terraforming stage and unlocks).



I want to be terraforming the planet, not doing manual labor.
It's as if developers had a brilliant idea of making a terraforming game, but had no idea how to execute on it. So they've picked up the most generic mechanics out of every average open world survival crafting game, mashed them all together, aaand, voila! This is what we got.
Hmmm let's just slap planet crafter name on it, that'll sell better

As unlocks and terraforming slows down, you'll just start asking yourself...."...Why am i doing this? Do i really hate myself so much?"

Unless you're at a stage of life where your time is infinite, skip this and play subnautica or satisfactory instead. Satisfy your terraforming ASMR needs using AI generated videos or something.

TL:DR
Was kind of expecting subnautica on land. Got your average "open world" crafting survival game

P.S
What's even the point of an oxygen mechanic, if i can just drop and empty living compartment made from like 4 materials, with no electricity or anything, anywhere on the map, and regen my oxygen right away?
