The gameplay of the game has undergone significant changes, with some players expressing disappointment over the departure from its original mechanics, which they found enjoyable. However, others appreciate the depth and unique systems introduced, highlighting the game's resource management and factory-building elements as engaging and fun. While there are some bugs and UI issues, the overall experience is seen as promising, especially for an early access title.
“This game reminds me a lot of Songs of Syx; at first glance, it may be easy to dismiss based on the graphics or initial look, but once you actually play and start to understand some of the systems, there are some deep and endless gameplay mechanics at work.”
“Several gameplay changes, bug fixes, as well as visual improvements make it now more playable.”
“For an early access game, it already has a lot of gameplay.”
“Unfortunately, the developer has been completely rewriting the core gameplay mechanics, rather than focusing on what was an incredible base and building from there.”
“The core gameplay loop has changed to the point where I just can't say it's fun anymore.”
“In general, it feels like the dev is currently prioritizing certain aspects of simulation (trash, waste, physical presence of items) over gameplay and that is reflected in the player's enjoyment of the game.”

The story aspect of the game is centered around missions and tasks that players find engaging, though some express frustration with difficulty spikes and bugs that hinder progress. While the variety of missions is noted as lacking, the ability to receive quests from different factions adds a layer of depth. However, issues with AI claiming land and mission-related bugs detract from the overall experience, leading to player dissatisfaction.
“This game has missions, which is great because there is never a time when I think, 'So, what do I do next?'”
“Being able to get missions from the other factions in the world is a fantastic way of getting money in a game like this.”
“Game is fun enough... the only thing that ruined it totally for me is that once you buy an area, a place you want more of the spots around you but cannot afford them early on.”
“Key systems such as sound and quests don't work at all.”
“The bug where mission reward vehicles are counted as rented is annoying too.”
“So far I had 1 crash, and the only bug I found was the inability to complete trash missions from some factions (but not from others).”

The game's stability is mixed; while it runs well on Linux and has improved in handling orders with fewer long freezes, some users still experience bugs and occasional stutters. Overall, many players prefer the current state over previous issues with unresponsive gameplay.
“Runs great on Linux.”
“The game is smooth and bug-free; I love the music (and I usually turn off the music in games).”
“I've barely scratched the surface and it's already a buggy, frustrating mess.”
“During that time, the FPS drops from buttery smooth max to some lower ranges with stutters - but I would rather have the stutter than the mentioned freezes where you start to wonder if you should alt-F4 out of the game and reload.”
“And buggy.”

Overall, the game's optimization has seen significant improvements, but users still report persistent bugs and performance issues, particularly in late-game scenarios and at higher resolutions. While some players appreciate the performance boost, they note that further rebalancing and additional anti-aliasing options are needed to enhance the visual experience and reduce choppy edges.
“I miss more anti-aliasing options as the edges get choppy at times, but overall a huge performance boost is noted.”
“Updating my review, which while I did (and still) recommend this to automation fans, was about the performance issues on 4K resolutions (unsure if that's changed in the multiple updates since then).”
“There are still bugs here and there, performance is not good sometimes, and some things require rebalancing.”
“There is still - I can only guess here - the performance issue related to rerouting a lot of orders/items (can happen quite often if you carelessly connect unfiltered storage to the whole network).”
“Late game factories also seem to have some performance issues in general.”
