The story in the game is minimal and primarily serves as a backdrop for gameplay mechanics, focusing on farming and crafting rather than a narrative-driven experience. While there are quests that function as tutorials, they are considered lacking in depth. Players engage in simple tasks like growing plants and making cheese, which contribute to the overall gameplay but do not create a compelling storyline.
“The developer has updated the quest system, which also works as a guide, and improved the building/shop system, making the experience less tedious.”
“Making cheese is a story in itself; the cows supply milk, which you convert into cheese, and then you use this cheese for cheeseburgers or pizza.”
“There are quests which seem to be the 'tutorial', but it definitely lacks a lot.”
“Making cheese is a story apart; the cows supply milk, you convert this milk into cheese, and you use this cheese for the cheeseburgers or for the pizza.”

The gameplay is engaging and addictive once players grasp the mechanics, though initial understanding may be challenging. While the core mechanics are solid and enjoyable, there is a desire for more variety in machinery and a comprehensive help section to clarify gameplay elements. As the game is in early access, users have noted some bugs and glitches, but overall, the gameplay experience is positive.
“Although I initially struggled to understand the game, once I figured out the gameplay loop, it became addictive.”
“It's early access, as everyone knows, so yes, you will find some bugs and glitches here and there, but the core mechanics are good and the gameplay I found fun.”
“A 'help' section that explains all the mechanics would be very nice.”
“The gameplay feels repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“I would also like to see machinery that is a bit more elaborate since they are currently very similar in size and mechanics.”
“The controls are clunky and unresponsive, which detracts from the overall experience.”

The game's optimization is effective, resulting in smooth performance by limiting the number of products displayed on screen; however, this also reduces the potential for overcrowded conveyor belts.
“By having fewer products on your screen, the game runs smoothly, but this means you have less chance of overcrowded conveyor belts.”
“The optimization in this game allows for seamless gameplay, making it easy to focus on strategy without lag.”
“I appreciate how the game balances performance and visuals, ensuring that even on lower-end systems, the experience remains enjoyable.”
