What players say

97% of 91,764 reviews are positive · 90% of 253 in the last 30 days

Players praise the large-scale factory automation, interstellar logistics, and sight of Dyson spheres taking shape. The most common complaint is the long gap between major content updates while the game remains in Early Access; players also criticize unintuitive controls, missing quality-of-life tools, and UI scaling.
