How it feels

You steadily dig deeper, automate assembly lines, and unravel the planet's buried secrets at your own deliberate pace.

What players say

Players enjoy the early and mid game, but the later stages turn into a grind, especially for completionists. Many cite energy shortages and the drill's lack of auto-collect as bottlenecks, forcing manual babysitting. Opinions are split on whether the automation is satisfying, with some calling it a decent time-waster and others arguing the design creates a deadlock.
