This is a great game, with gameplay similar to Factorio... on an epic scale!

It's the Future! You're in space, controlling a mecha and building giant automated networks of structures and drones on the surface of rocky planets and in orbit of gas giants in order to gather and process resources on a large scale. The final goal is to build megastructures around stars to directly gather their entire energy output: Dyson Spheres (this is the real name of such theoretical megastructures). This is so satisfying!

The game is also soooo beautiful - I sometimes take a break in my building madness to simply enjoy the view. And it seems to be very well optimized. You can freely travel in space between planets and even between systems (with warp drive) without loading screens. The star cluster you can visit contains various types of stars, planets and moons, even including neutron stars and black holes, which promises more awesome screenshots.

The UI is very well designed and allows you to build, upgrade, or dismantle stuff in bulk very easily. Building a line of conveyor belt (or even other buildings) is as easy as drag and drop from start to end. There are options and shortcuts to upgrade or dismantle entire lines of conveyor belts. You can also do these operations in a square region of your chosen size, and you can even combine these two functionalities to upgrade any line of conveyor belts touching the square. You can also easily copy-paste a building with its settings and attached mechanical arms or even save blueprints of entire production lines. When dismantling stuff, you get every building back, you don't lose any materials and you don't even need to recraft buildings. You can build conveyor belts at lots of different heights, making it easy to cross different lines and you get even more convenient ways to transport resources between your production lines later in the game.

There are no enemies (yet) so you have all the time you want to plan, build, rebuild and optimize your factories. They are working on adding enemies as an optional content that you can choose to activate or not when starting a new game.

Oh, and the music is great too! Calm and soothing, feels good. The perfect OST to focus either on the game or on work.

I nominated this game for game of the year award 2021. :)
