It's about digging a hole

yay

this game was intentionally created to sabotage the productivity of engineering majors

Subnautica except it's on land and you build a factory

Just don't play too long in one session.

Blowing stuff up while parachuting, wing-suiting, and grappling-hooking around is fun. Good graphics, vehicle physics, and soundtrack.

This game is not as procedurally generated as I hoped it would be, with the same flora and fauna occasionally re-appearing across planets. Despite this, I would still say that on every new world you'd find something new, making exploration a worthwhile task — this isn't Minecraft, where the same biome type creates the same terrain across worlds. In NMS, even the same types of planets will have different plants, animals, geology, terrain, etc, that makes almost every world worthy of exploration.

I have not played the game for very long but I'd say I have not encountered much of a grind — it does not take much time to farm credits or nanites (the game's currency) if you know how from 1-2 Google searches. I've found it easy to unlock and upgrade my gear to a level of satisfaction.

The game's graphics and performance are at a level I would consider satisfactory. Nothing to really praise yet nothing to really hate. I average a near-constant 100fps on High 1080p with an NVIDIA 1660 Super and a Ryzen 5 3600 which isn't horrible. I've encountered a couple of bugs, but none that can't be fixed by reloading a save. Loading screens take some time on an SSD but not to the point where I'd complain.

The ship flight model is arcade-like, with not much depth to the flying skill. Space combat has been a "pew pew pew and they're gone" type thing. On-foot combat has been similar to that as well. Not really a combat-focused game, main focus is exploration and/or survival, if any.

Overall, a definite "Yes".

It's alright, hoping wires get added as right now as the base buildings limit creativity of puzzle creation

This game is every other factory building game boiled down to the fundamentals. No aliens to defend against or resource limits, just pure unadulterated factory building. Forces you to think efficiently, build factories to be re-usable, and innovate compact designs so as to save time. 9/10 would recommend — only complaint is performance, game is written in JavaScript and runs on ElectronJS which is basically a stripped down Google Chrome without an address bar, so you will get framerate loss with large factories.
