    The story revolves around a new employee at Rebots Corporation tasked with helping quirky aliens settle on asteroids through mission-based gameplay that involves building production lines and terraforming. While the narrative features charming NPCs, humor, and a unique sci-fi setting, some players found the missions repetitive and felt that the gameplay lost its appeal towards the end due to limited variety in tasks.

    • “I was really enjoying completing the missions and building up the spaceport; however, towards the end chunk of the game, I started to drift back into not enjoying it so much.”
    • “There were only about 3 missions that required actual terraforming.”
    • “I find myself checking multiple screens to see if a plant is a suitable candidate for a mission, then end up with the same basic steps to complete that mission.”
    • “But even then, you only farm for a short time, and then that quest is done and there's no real point to that asteroid anymore.”

    • “The automation is tedious and far too simplistic.”
    • “But the reason I'm leaving a negative review is that the game, so far, is more of a farming game than an automation game.”
