What players say
It's a fun game that can soak up a lot of hours. It feels well balanced and has some combinations that just go stupid good.
Once you get past how utterly stupid it looks, its peak game design. Customization and workshop available too. Give it a try.
Just overall boring with very little likelyhood that anything other than ores will work out
