I thought this game would be fun but I very much dislike just how much mechanics are locked behind multiplayer. I remember starting up this game, not having anyone to play it with and being so excited to experience all its mechanics, but I was only able to do a small handful. I'd very much love a version in single player that allows you to work with npcs but unfortunately it seems the devs aren't interested in that. Neither did I want to play with randoms so I got a refund. The game defo has some interesting mechanics though and if you ever want to live in a minecraft civilisation video that seems to be what they're going for. I was super excited tho it seems the single player was simply too limiting

If you play on multiple devices, say a desktop and a laptop, then do not get this game. Whenever you join a server on one device you cannot join that server on your other device even tho the steam account is identical.

Masterclass but you have to immerse yourself in the game and play with a community or a lot of friends to enjoy it.

The building requirements are excessive and cannot be disabled.
To put down 95 percent of crafting tables they have to be built inside a room, and each crafting table calls for a specific tier room. The tier of the room is based on the material that's being used (adobe, wood, lumber, bricks, concrete etc) and you HAVE to use slanted roofs (so forget about underground bases it's not going to happen). This restriction makes all buildings needing to be built with the same boring boxy concept.
If you have any sort of open hole in your roof or you're missing a door it is no longer considered a room and the crafting tables won't function. Certain crafting tables that have exhaust stacks STILL require to be inside a room but also requires a hole in the roof to ventilate. But if there's a hole in the roof then the room is no longer considered a room so the table does not function. It's obvious that the dev's want a building built in an extremely specific way because they can't figure out how to code it in a way that allows for a variety of different style buildings

The perfect place to relax. It's a great building game on the surface, but it has so much depth as an economy sim. All the details and collaboration is amazing. There is freedom to set up your own environment and rules. It can be as complicated as you want it to be. Constant balances and updates.

Absolutely love this game. It does have a bit of a learning curve but if you are willing to talk to people in the world you will have a great experience. This games problem is the amount of servers when you log on will be a bit overwhelming to choose one. Find one that has fewer days and more people. Chat trade and make friends and this game will be amazing for you. It is the adult version of minecraft.

Its a pretty decent game, very social and very time taxing game. I would def recommend playing this over a vacation as this game runs for a long time.

I was on the fence for recommending or not recommending this game.
It's... fine, but a bit grindy and uneventful for gameplay. I last played a while ago though and with the right (large) group of people it's fun, so I give this a pass and recommend it.
If you only have a couple people it'll probably feel more of a grind than fun.
Basically, the people make the game fun, so it's a bit hard to recommend, but, they are still adding and improving to the game, so I give it the thumbs up.
