90% of the negative reviews boil down to "it's EA", and yes this is actually an early access game not a triple AAA company BSing their release to avoid criticism/avoid paying for QA. That aside the game is amazing for it's current state. Outside the EA problems that will get fixed my only complaint is that its not 2 years into the future and this game was more developed already. It's super fun and the atmosphere is top tier. Bones are 10/10 looking forward to it being fleshed out.

If early access games that aren't fully polished aren't a dealbreaker for you 100% reccommend picking it up.

Looks like it could be good but major drawback for me right now is time spent in UI INSTEAD of expanding the factory.

I want to automate.. oh wasting science let me pick a new one, urgent contract, rover arrived, cargo ship idle, urgent contract, mining bots out of planned mining, wasting science, need money for belts click through UI it complete some contracts (you can just flip off the market for these), urgent contract, rover idle, cargo idle, oxygen low wait nevermind false alarm still at 25k/25k, urgent contract. I can't actually make anything without having to interface with some popup every 5 minutes.

Not to mention there is a degree of why make anything when i can just sit in contract UI and buy what they are asking for off the market and flip it for a profit.
