Early Access Review
There's a certain itch this game scratches really really well. It's a cross between a colony sim (think Banished or something in the Anno series) and Factorio and it does this phenomenally. The art style is simple enough that even mid-to-late game, I had no major framerate drops or anything like that that I'd say has become typical or this genre, while still being detailed enough to zoom in and see what's going on.

The game is good for casual play, as it's relatively difficult to "fail" unless you run into a net loss on your coins, but even then it's never too hard to fix your supply chains to correct that. My only complaint is that workers (carts, etc) will often take long circuitous routes around your town because they can't pass each other on a 1 tile wide road and occasionally get completely stuck if they get trapped on a street between other workers. Also, I like to route all of my items to bulk stores (barns), but I have found that using the "supply X" option with workers often eventually gets them stuck as they will try to pull it from the source/producer rather than the storage that's available (or at least don't update to retry the storage later and will hang out at the producer indefinitely waiting).

I'm starting to do more with verticality and I think that'll help and running conveyors around to reduce the number of workers moving about is an absolute must. The game has been getting updates very frequently and it looks like the latest is actually making it even easier to route things on the Z-axis, so I look forward to tinkering with that.

This could've been a great game, but what was promised and what was delivered and no where near the same. Technically, it's impressive, but the gameplay is just repeat of the same thing and there's nothing to work towards that's worth the time.

This game might be a fun indie game if it was <$20, but at full price it's just a waste of money and the devs have been silent basically since release, so I'm not hopeful for much improvement anytime in the future.
