Leader here,
So you wanna Keep a Core of your own? What to expect when you're expecting:

-Fantastic co-op, like really surprisingly functional co-op (minor issues but all-and-all stable and it's only early access)

-Scratches the itch of a game that exists between chaos and order - set out into the unknown only to bring your curiosities home for organization

-Do what you want but as a team... I can't tell you how truly compelling a concept that is. There is a place and a thing to contribute to, your Core, no matter how your crew likes to play. Some will stay at home, others will explore, others thirst for battle and all things will be rewarded based on time spent on them but in a way that doesn't leave anyone out of a good team battle.

-Very solid core game for an early access, and it looks as though people are primed and ready to mod

-Boss battles are interesting, challenging/breakable, and repeatable - what a DEAL!

-While there are many games one could compare this to, as it borrows many things from many places, the closest cousin might be Stardew Valley. HOWEVER! Tho the mechanics may appear similar; ie mining, farming, fishing, etc, they truly manage to put enough of a spin on each to make the whole thing feel like a unique experience

-Leave no orb un-pondered! Great price for a great start on a great feeling game! GG!
