The atmosphere in the game has shifted from a no-oxygen environment reminiscent of Mars to a more Earth-like atmosphere with oxygen and higher pressure, allowing for modular building similar to Rust. This change has disappointed some players who expected a survival experience based on the original premise of a harsh, uninhabitable Mars.
- “The game was advertised as a survival game including the no-oxygen atmosphere on Mars.”
- “Now it will change into some terraformed planet that even has oxygen in the atmosphere, which completely screws everybody who bought the game thinking they'd be playing on no-oxygen Mars.”
- “Do you know what Mars' atmosphere actually looks like?”

The graphics in the current engine sample are criticized for being buggy and underdeveloped, with issues affecting the user interface and overall visual experience. Players report that the limited interactivity and functionality further detract from the graphical presentation, leading to a frustrating experience.
- “So far it's only an engine sample where you can walk around and do literally nothing else while the graphics and the UI constantly bug out.”
- “You can't even collect sand to get the crafting materials you need, oxygen does not work, eating/drinking does not work; all you can do is run around and sleep (which will screw up your graphics in some cases), and I have video footage to prove it.”
