I have lost all ability to resist it's clutches. Days seem to pass as I configure and reconfigure the factory, unlock new technologies, and upgrade weapons. I'm never bored, always busy. It's seductively well spaced "milestones" to work towards, will have you trying to get just a little further. Then eventually you build a vehicle and can go exploring and start a new factory somewhere else, while the full world is not endless, it's VERY large and VERY beautiful. I haven't even been to most areas, but will soon enough. The time... god where does the time go?

The milestones, at first menial and manual, eventually unlock technologies so that mining can be automated, and supply lines put down. At some point despite all your planning you realise your factory was uselessly small for the mid game milestones, and start over.

If this sounds like fun, do not buy this game, it will consume your life.
