It didn't take but a few hours, but I'm finally to the point in the game where I can travel within the star system. Hyperspace is COOL. I love the ~7 (in game) hour warning you get for incoming ships, you can easily finish up your mining operation and move on, or risk it for the biscuit. Coming back to the sector is always an option too, but you use precious fuel. I haven't upgraded my ship enough for interstellar travel, but that's next after I build enough hydroponics bays (I'm on the verge of starving and I would rather not be cannibals - this isn't RimWorld! This game does leave that long pork on the table though, if you get desperate. I fought some bugs, salvaged a ship, and mined a few asteroids. Really nice building UI and tutorial, easy to plop things down, a bit more difficult to figure out how you get certain resources. I'm sure they will expand on the tutorial down the road to cover ore processing, but it doesn't look too hard to figure out. Dev team is Finnish, and they are doing a bang-up job. They even have cloud saves! I would say this is worth even twice the price, so long as you like RimWorld. I think I might like this even more since it runs on my old ThinkPad with Manjaro Linux - smooth and not too hot either. Grab it and support these folks!
