How it feels

A methodical, open-ended sandbox of engineering and construction where players build and pilot vehicles through space and on planets.

What players say

Players praise the engineering sandbox but call the tutorial useless and the new player experience hostile. Many are frustrated by the PCU build limit and DLC-locked blocks, while long-time players say development stalled years ago and the game survives on its modding community.
