What players say
85% of 55,737 reviews are positive · 80% of 366 in the last 30 days
Players praise the interconnected crafting and management loop, dark humor, and satisfaction of gradually automating work. The most common complaints are opaque recipes and quests that push players toward outside guides, along with repetitive gathering, long dependency chains, and waiting for weekly NPC schedules.
