Players note that while the current ship spawn rate is manageable, there are concerns about excessive resource farming due to the abundance of guns on disabled ships. The game is recommended for fans of space survival genres, but players should be prepared for a slow start and some grinding until they upgrade their tools for more efficient resource gathering.
“Highly recommend to anyone who loves space-style survival games, but prepare for a slow start and some grinding until you upgrade your tools to a better tier and begin gaining resources with ease.”
“The current spawn rate of ships is manageable, but the excessive amount of guns on them leads to resource farming issues. A disassembly process for guns and a slower spawn rate might be necessary to avoid this grinding problem.”
