Fin-dustrialism
We still don’t know exactly what fresh stuff will be included in the final version (aside from flushable loos, I mean). But aprevious video updatefrom the developers promised “yet-to-be-seen content, fixes to some of the long-lasting issues we’ve had in the game, and a way to complete the game along with a narrative.” Ah! Closure! I’ve heard that’s really pleasant.
It has already seen a number of big updates since its earliest incarnation on Epic’s store, to be fair. Since then the developers have addedhoverpacks,boomboxes, and apeaceful modethat renders alien creatures non-aggressive. They addedhuge trainsin an early update. Then gave the trains signal lightsso they wouldn’t crash. In other words, it has grown a lot since those first few belts of raw metal were gloriously stripped from the outstanding natural beauty of whatever this planet is called. What, you think I have time to learn a planet’s name? I’m busy pumping all the water out of this river.
It also has one ofmy favourite cars in video games. And, in a stroke of summer luck, it is currentlyhalf price in the Steam Summer Sale. At that cost it’s pretty much an insta-recommend for anyone who lovedFactorio,Zachtronicsgames, or other automation sims. With the caveat, of course, that you will likely lose weeks of your life to it.
