The gameplay is characterized by its pure mechanics and complex production chains, which can be challenging and often require players to learn through trial and error. While some mechanics are enjoyable, particularly in sandbox mode, others can become cumbersome, leading to a feeling of limitation in factory size and functionality. Overall, while the game offers intriguing concepts and a fun experience, there are better alternatives available that provide a more balanced and enjoyable gameplay experience.
“The gameplay is as pure as it can be, but the production chains get really complex and can be quite challenging (for me at least ;-)).”
“The fourth introduces the complexities of machinery, electrical components, and is a straightforward intro into these mechanics.”
“With given conditions, the game starts easy and makes you learn the mechanics of the game, then gets complex and then again challenging.”
“Unfortunately, you have to learn most of the mechanics of the game by trial and error.”
“However, even in sandbox mode, your factories can end up feeling small and limited because of this game's limited mechanics and factory sizes.”
“It is not a really bad game, but there are alternatives with the same gameplay/setting which are much better.”
