The idea is fun but the game is totaly out of balance.

How you will spend your time.
Early game:
Hunting
Loading stuff in your car
Selling chunks of meat

Then:
Feeding and giving water to chicken and pigs.

After building the waterpump thing and the granary:
Harvesting pigs.
Processing meat.
Spending at least as much time on loading stuff in your vehicle.
Driving up and down the road to sell the same stuff, so you can buy machines to do the same things slightly less inefficient (but is still takes ages).

Stuff missing:

1. Resources can't be salvaged (i destroyed an entire building en got notthing out of it).
2. Feeding the character and basic needs should be more of a priority (no hardship here).
3. The whole game evolves arround making money from repetitive tasks, i think the game would benefit from a proper crafting system. (Also pigs are all the income you will ever need).
4. There are no actual problems to solve on the ranch (nothing happens when you do nothing).
5. Something like a proper butchery for processing the pigs and other meat.
6. Easy methods to get stuff in your vehicle this basicly defines the game at this point.
7. Played for like 35 days (no threats to the ranch no eaten chicks nothing).
8. The weather is mostly crap.
9. Basics like power from the grid are implicit (i dont need no generator).
10 I can't sell my abundance of pigs alive.
11. Harvesting eggs is a hassle
12. You will never be self supporting in this game (no forging of metals, no scrap designs, no producing animal feeds, no nothing... just and endless boring get more money without purpose cycle.

After i got pigs nothing in the game seems to reward enough to start working on it. Why would a need a house, my bed in the garage is just fine. why would i need cows making milk and cheese is probably even more of a bother than harvesting pigs. Why would i do anything but fill the feeding things and kill some pigs and then sit out the days until more pigs are born.

The game is obviously lacking incentive and proper progression.

Until you get to pigs things are cumbersome but somehow it keeps you hooked. after that it's just one pig boring cycle of the same stuff. If i didn't pay for it i would expect freemium crap to popup. thats how bad this game is.

Pro's
Building is kinda ok, a bit prefab for my taste and super limited usability.
Car mechanics are usable
Character controls are ok.
Animals are fun.

Well, you might think i'm not cutout for this kind of game, and maybe i'm not.
If you have a job in a factory doing production work on some line. I'd recommend it over playing this game which starts to feel like work very fast.
(at least you get paid for the job).

Nice game,

Although you kinda lack a purpose in the vast no man sky universe it is a nice game to play.
I enjoyed 150+ hours of wandering in the nms universe.

The latest update added base building and freighters.
And although far from perfect i'm confident future updates keep making this game more interesting.

If you like crating mining and exploring and flying your spaceship this is the game for you.
