What players say
Great little game, although it's not so little. Some people don't like the fact the game is in stages, and each stage has you starting again. I initially hated this, and it took me months to come back to the game (prompted by the announcement of the sequel). Upon my return I twigged the way to play this. Yeah, you have to "start again" each level, but this time you can lay things out more optimally based on what you...
Great cozy automation game. It's not incredibly complex nor unforgiving, it's perfect for a new player starting with the genere or to relax for a couple of hours and taking a break from factorio. It's very lightweight and doesn't use too many pc resource, it runs great on the steamdeck too
I play this as a form of relaxation. Music is calming. Game is not stressful. Nobody attacks me. It's just me and problem solving in the form of automations.
