Early Access Review
Been playing this for 6 hours now and it's not bad. Not bad at all... It took a while to get into and there are some VERY lengthy processes to make things along with very little in game help... (There is some, just not as much as I would like. Perhaps a process tree which shows you what you need in order to get what you want. Select the item from a very long list and the tree would come up beside it)

I think the tutorials need a revamp to better explain things as the 4 available were very short indeed and the last one which shows you how to feed your colony didn't really cover all the bases. The resources needed were handed to you rather than explaining the very lengthy process of obtaining them without buying from the market.

As an example, to get food being produced, you need to gather organic waste using an aircraft hanger, process it into seaweed and fertiliser in the recycling plant, feed the seaweed with the fertiliser to get fed seaweed which can then be dried to give you seaweed portions and water. A total of 4 processes, spread across 3 buildings... Google had to help me with that and it was the very first thing you need to produce to support your colony! In the tutorial, you get given seaweed and fertiliser (IIRC). Jump to the main game and lo and behold, no fertiliser available in the market place. Hurumph. GOOGLE!

It is an early access game though so it will improve... probably.

That being said, I can see myself throwing a lot of hours at it. It is relatively slow paced (nothing has come along to disrupt my steady growh yet) and so long as you have food production giving you more than you need for your colonists, you have a (somewhat slow) income from selling it off.

The water is very pretty.
