This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

I tried to get into it a while ago, but it felt so half-cooked. This weird voice-over with the mispronounced words, the obscure tech tree and overall progression, I don't know...

It felt like a lot more work to get into than Factorio or Satisfactory did back in the day, with a smaller payoff.

Am I missing something?

I dunno, I played it very early on because it was factorio with space travel. Now factorio is factorio with space travel though... It was fun at the time but not for very long (like 20 hours and I finished it).

I don't even recall a voiceover...

Honestly, the orbital stuff and different planets were the best features, but Factorio has those now and they're pretty great.

I love Factorio but I don't know if I like the new planets. Except Gleba. That place is great. Think I spent like 50% of my space age play through there. Maybe it is just the space rocket part of the game I don't like... Stupid rockets look awesome but such a pain to design every time :(
