Review of the game
- No save option hope there is one in the full game.
-Bugs bugs bugs. PPl suddenly dissapear. Kids of age 2 go wondering off and die because yeah not at home. You can click on them but then they are in the stars or off the map.
You cannot direct them.
- There is no path direction for builders aka what do i build first. Unless you give one building high priority they build random.
- Getting sick i dont feel well all the time is annoying.
- No 4 days seasons. A season lasts 1 day and then it ages a person for a year at the same time? Thats not helpfull in normal city growth.
- Building things take too long of a time. Aka you gotta build stuff but at the same time you need housing or population cant grow and since they age so fast it does not make sense.

Pro's

- The game looks good.
- Gives a good city building feeling.

Would i buy this game? In current state NO.

Fair review on the game, agree with everything and when you compare it to games like Banished or Kingdoms Reborn, it has a long way to go. I understand that there is a small development team and the early access is to find out what needs to be done. If I was the developer, I would keep the early access open for only a short time more as the negatives are getting close to turning me off it totally.

Overall I found the game fun and challenging.

The workers need to prioritize tasks better - for instance they will unload all the stone from the boat before they will grab 2 planks from the saw mill to finish the building, I found that if you don't place the saw mill next to the warehouse they will almost never deliver planks.

When a worker delivers wood to the saw mill don't leave empty handed; pick up some planks and take them back to the warehouse.

Eventually a bug occurs that makes the animations very jerky and the worker's actions erratic. The whole colony fails because nothing is getting done. I run into this once the colony gets to ~110 people.

I wish there was a build queue.

I wish there was more information to see why a given colonist was in poor health.

I mean, you dont have to keep playing it in early access state, tho :D some initial reaction and feedback, and then maybe try it later on to see how it progressed
