I can best describe this game as a minecraft style game with focus on processes instead of aesthetics. There's a lot to master with finding optimal ratios to maximize throughput (ultimately the goal of the game) and several achievements that will likely take you a few playthroughs to achieve.

I do recommend you avoid blue prints on your first playthrough(s) as they can take a lot of problem solving out of the game. (blueprints are recipes created by you or other players to place down 'ghost' structures so bots can place buildings or the player places by hand).

I haven't played competitive multiplayer just coop, but the game runs fairly smooth on all devices and can easily play on a few MBPS.

After you launch the rocket with satellite, there really isn't a lot to do besides optimize further. So unless you enjoy the open ended gameplay (like minecraft) or want the achievements, there isn't a lot of replay-ability. Regardless, your first playthroughs will likely take you 15-20 hours as you spend a lot of time figuring out the game.

Really depends on how your logistic plans come into play.

Treat this game as a base building game not so much as strategy, but maybe laying out some tactical tower defence since this game had turrets and walls, I reckon.

Horrible comparison.

It's hard to describe the core gameplay mechanics because the only things like it are newer games that are copying Factorio, a lot of the gameplay is in logistics and design. It's a FANTASTIC multiplayer game... as long as you have friends that you want to play it with, it's not something that I'd recommend playing with random people from the internets. There are loads of settings to mess with to make the game as easy or as difficulty as you like, no matter how many people you're playing with.

I agree, this game more like Cryofall than Minecraft to me. What do you think?

Horrible response.

The whole point I was making, was that it is an open ended game with no 'true ending' since the game doesn't end after the main objective. Obviously very different games, but they both share a 'core objective' with open gameplay stlye.

You should play Cryofall then you will see how I compare games.
I compare games with the same genre.
