How hard is this game ?

[cypher]

Hello im interested in this game and i would like to know how hard is it.

The sandbox theme makes it that you can progress at your own rhythm. Its a game that involve a lot of automation like factorio.

You know "hard" is relative. I found the start and about the first half, or so, is fairly easy, but then it gets very complex in term of logistics. I was never able to get to the more advanced stuff, it's way over my head, but even then it's loads of fun, I'm like 700 hours into it.

There are creative-like settings if you find the game too tedious so you can make it very relaxed if you wish.

Actually It's pleasantly soft inside, sweet in taste, with some crunchy challenges.

I can only recommend it.

It is not hard, you need good planning in the end. It gets complex in the end, but you'll manage everything by then. Since you gradually unlock everything and thus are prepared for what's to come. :)
There are opponents like spiders, but once you have the jetpack, you won't have any problems with them. Because then you can jump/run faster from A to B.

BTW:

This game is never forcing you. Also automation is voluntary.

At the beginning I was handcrafting a lot, then handfeeding a lot, before I finally decided to begin with automation.

Each in their own way.

It's complex, not hard. For some people there's no difference.

There are so many things to do - that is the challange, deciding what's next and stick with it ... until the fuse trips

Human brains can only focus effieciently at one thing at a time.
Weighing all the options costs energy.

Nothing hard at all as you basically can not "fail". It is a automation-progession game. You unlock more and more things and can just build more and more.

So in that regards it is about as easy as it gets.
And while the complexity is groing you can also keep it to an absolute minimum by doing it one step at a time: When you unlock something new then you don't care about unlocking anything other but just to get this new thing up and running. this can easily carry you untill the last progression stages, it is just a bit slower (but as if time would matter - you play games to enjoy them, not to be done with them).

It's very friendly and you can play at any pace you need/want.

It's not hard, it gets complex in the late stage of the game.
