This is a great game however, it is being sold completely at the wrong price point. The justification I see being repeated is that this game offers 'infinite replay value' and after 55 hours of playing the game I cant ever see that being the case without using mods and the equally extortionately priced DLCs as a crutch. I say this as my colony continually seems to encounter the same events over and over again. Heat wave, Eclipse, solar flare, all manner of psychic drone, all of which feel extremely overplayed and like the game is meeting a quota or has decided your going to suffer for while. The combat events in which enemies attempt to siege your colony. To respond to them you have to use the terrible combat system which is only so bad because all of your colonists are complete idiots. They miss at point blank range, refuse to use their gun at melee range and manage to hit allies, especially those using melee like allied animals. Colonists are unable to respond to a threat on their own and will happily die waiting for you to turn on their combat mode as oppose to using the weapon you gave them. Even outside of combat, they are stupid. They will cook or even preform surgery in a dirty room. Will haul item by item instead of stacking them before hauling. But the biggest problem is that they have the emotional maturity of children and you will constantly have a minor break risk warning for at least 4 colonists because its raining or they decided to eat without a table despite the dining hall you built. There are more issues i could mention, UI, UX, the radiant quests. How static the in game economy is. DLC features that the base game desperately needs. Lack of different building options. The game letting you build on an island without any boats in the game. I wouldn't refund this game, I would recommend it even but i wouldn't play without DLC and mods again. Considering the game is 8 years old aswell.
