Overall, the game's optimization is widely criticized, with many players experiencing significant performance issues and low frame rates despite using capable hardware. Reviewers noted that the graphics do not justify the high GPU usage, and there are numerous bugs and optimization problems that detract from the gameplay experience. While some players found the game enjoyable, they expressed hope for future updates to improve performance and overall optimization.
- “Performance is smooth and the visuals are pleasant.”
- “I can't recommend the game because the state of its demo is not good enough, but if the developers work on bug fixes and performance, it can be a good game to buy.”
- “Graphics: while not the best, I hope the full release will offer better performance options.”
- “Despite the way this game looks (very simple, barebones), using 80%-90% of my GPU power (RTX 5070 Ti), I'd expect it to run more than 120 FPS.”
- “It's clear that the developers either completely ignored the optimization process or simply failed to conduct proper testing.”
- “The game is alright, but the optimization is awfully non-existent.”

Reviews on the grinding aspect of the game are mixed; while some players appreciate the balance of grind and progression, finding it enjoyable especially in co-op, others find it tedious and frustrating, particularly regarding inventory management and building mechanics. Many suggest that the game could benefit from streamlined processes to reduce the monotony of grinding tasks. Overall, the experience seems to vary significantly depending on whether players engage solo or with friends.
- “I played this game for 26 hours now and have loved every second. I enjoy the little grind but am still able to progress rather quickly. I would love to see more mining and lumberjack activities. I played Space Engineers and it had so much going on that I didn't know what to do. I think you have a chance to redo that, giving people access to their own planet to care for. I would love to see all kinds of farming activities as well as animals, and maybe even introduce a survival mode where you have to eat or drink. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves free roaming and creating cool things.”
- “All that said, some areas for improvement: laying foundations is really, really tedious -- it would be nice to click to start, drag for dimensions, and click to build or something like that.”
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
- “My overall experience was at best tedious boredom and at worst utter infuriating.”
- “Inventory management is very tedious, with no crafting cues and too much micromanagement.”
