Excelente juego de planificación y automatización. Una mecánica sencilla pero no por ello menos adictiva. Con imaginación se pueden hacer cosas increíbles en el juego. Recomendable 100%.

Quite hard to understand and playing is so slow pace.

The game isn't abandonware. Its just not annoying you with any distracting elements like missions, events, flora or fauna etc.
It is a game with a simple mission: put out 30000 kg within a 3 month period. That's it. No explanation, no tutorial, nothing.
As others already said, a run can need up to 30-ish hours.
When you start counting segments of railroad tracks and space tiles between conveyor belts then you know how good the game actually is.
It is not as shiny as Satisfactory and not as deep as Factorio. It is the bare bone of the both if you strip everything(!) unnecessary away.
It runs on low spec hardware and ideal for a weekend with on-call or patrol duties and you don't want to binge watch a tv show for the 6th time.

Sehr geehrte Spiele Entwickler,

Ich habe mir gedacht ich habe mein spiel gefunden was eine gewisse realistische art von gameplay hat aber ich denke mir warum geht das nicht warum dies nicht. 1. Die DROHNEN kann man nicht zuweisen wo man sie braucht sondern sie Fliegen selber PLANLOS herum und dort wo es Arbeit gibt fliegen sie hin, dass wäre etwas was man noch verbessern könnte.. (ich habe auch nicht lange gespielt da ich sehr sehr vieles nicht verstanden habe). 2. Die LKWs / Straßen man kann die Straßen nicht zusammen führen lassen so das dass ganze ein Bild hätte und Funktion. (gleich wie die Laufbänder aber das füge ich hier gleich dazu da es das gleiche Thema ist.) ANSONSTEN Liebe Entwickler, dieses Spiel hat Potenzial und ich habe mich doch über diese 3/4 Stunde gefreut dieses Spiel zu spielen. Ich habe gesehen das es das Spiel schon seit 2019 gibt aber falls ihr dieses Spiel noch weiter updated sehe Ich mich wieder Geld zu investieren.... und Vielleicht eine gewisse Produktion schleife generieren wie Platten, Rohre, usw. MÜSST IHR WISSEN

This is a tough one. For me, this game is barely in the recommend category. This game is more of a puzzle than an automation game. You can't actually do anything by hand, so there isn't really a non-automation way. If you like train(ish) gameplay, you will at least somewhat like this game. However, the game is kind of bare bones and it really wastes the players time inconsiderably.

While there are 14 scenarios and they get a bit harder each time, it only does so due to the less buildable space. You end up doing the same thing over and over again and becomes rather tedious. Early on, you'll setup your initial factory and then walk away for 20 minutes so you can actually build something else. This game is almost setup as an idle game... Except when you want to do achievements, you get taxed the longer it sits until you just break even - making you play in order to gain more money. The research also is setup in a way that you need to leave it a long time, but eventually it fills up and you have to manually turn it in... It wouldn't be so bad if you could speed up the game, but you can't. You will be forced to wait dozens of minutes before you can complete one more step to finishing the scenario... And there are dozens. You often want to go for the best resource at the end, but you have to unlock a lot of research by turning in specific resources... So you have to build off shoot factories for the research and then basically destroy them afterwards.

The placing of buildings feels fine and the indoor/outdoor mechanic is kind of a cool idea - but getting resources in and out of it is the real pain point. You can't pipe anything from between environments, so you have to use mine carts that only hold 4 resources. You have to open doors, but the doors only allow 1 path, blocking 2 others so the placements of buildings becomes a real chore to get right. The longer the track to get it outside, the smaller amount you can transfer out. It is an interesting puzzle the first few times, but becomes annoying the 100th time.

If there were blueprints in this game, I feel like it would be a lot more fun... But in reality, it would be taking most of the gameplay away if you did that. The challenge is building in a way at the start where you don't have to tear it down and redo it later in order to save you time in a scenario. The game becomes a bit more fun if you approach it like that.

All in all, I have a ton of hours in this game and am going to try to get all the achievements, but each scenario probably takes about 8 to 12 hours to complete, with really only about 2 to 3 hours of actually playing. That is where the ultimate pain point comes down.
