    Has anyone else been playing this game? The Early Alpha has been released on Steam for awhile now, I grabbed it about a month ago and honestly I really love playing it when I'm not on 14. They update every thursday and it's pretty fun to just build whatever space ship/station your mind could imagine while at the same time making some fun stuff using the mechanics the game gives you access too like gravity generators or rotors. Didn't see a topic for this on a quick search so just curious if anyone else is on it(if there is then my bad, just merge them and consider this a bump)

    This looks like the kind of game I'd waste tons of hours with but considering how so many indie games release unplayable bugged garbage these days just for a quick cash grab I'll probably wait until it's at least in late beta.

    Interestingly, the better than wolves forum was talking about this game as well. the general consensus so far is that as a game, it's missing a lot of "gamey" elements still, but it's in early alpha so that's to be expected. they do seem to think it has a lot of promise, however, especially if the dev team doesn't cave into popular requests and follows through with their vision instead. They're also liking how survivals starting to shape up with recent updates, and they adore the automation possibility the game embraces, unlike minecraft where things like mob traps were actively smashed and things like redstone became overcomplicated. (not to mention addition of "miracle blocks" like hoppers that do your laundry and make you dinner while doing your job for you).

    So if you're looking for a complete game experience, probably best to wait, but if you like goofing around and building things with a dash of survival elements, it seems to be rather fun already.

    I dick about with it here and there since my bro coerced me into picking it up a few months ago. Eventually going to do some LAN shit with him when the game is more developed, as I'd rather not another case of Minecraft where I get bored of it before the actual 'game' part of the game gets implemented.

    It still has a long way to go on the performance side of things though. Relatively new PC here, and it jerks about a fair bit on medium settings on a simple scene.

    I picked it up in a sale, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
