I cannot stress enough how amazingly fun and addicting this game is. The lovely developers at Coffee Stain have taken care to carefully listen to the community's feedback during early access, even implementing many ideas from mods into the base game with 1.0, something i really appreciated coming back to play for the official 1.0 release.

The game now performs much better, looks amazing and the complexity of the builds in your factories are much higher due to end game buildings and tech fully implemented. You have a variety of ways and styles to make your own builds, there is so much room for creativity and expansion. There are multiple options for connecting your factories with transport and making a whole automated ecosystem that is just so SATISFYING to watch come into life and harvest every bit of resource from the alien planet.

Also worth mentioning, the folks at Coffee Stain have been very good to the community of modders, making the modding community very active and healthy. There are incredible mods and third party tools, programs and websites to do and plan whatever you can think of. I personally have used many many many mods in my playthroughs during early access. At some point i had more than 50 mods installed at once and the game was amazing, every aspect of it was tuned exactly how i wanted. Also worth noting is that all mods have been broken with the release of 1.0 due to a change in file names or something, but from what i have seen from the community i am confident they will be updated very soon.

I have played this game for more than 300 hours in early access the past three years and i have always enjoyed my time, now with the release of 1.0 i can happily say they have done it, they delivered a polished, easy to learn, fun and creative factory building game that might be the best in the market. I cant recommend this game enough.
