Update made my saves unplayable, bus wheels disconnect when you reload and you will get launched randomly, losing wheels and parts and ending miles from a road.
It's just tedious to play it at this point, having already lost 15hrs+ of gameplay and am not having fun fearing my progress void if i get launched randomly or with the next update.

Make Factory, does thing, good.

Tank game cool, Hamster dead.

Short review: Don't buy this game. 4.5/10

Campaign is stale after 5-10hrs - that's playing the campaign not building a vehicle, physics engine sucks, some features are plainly unusable -> modular engines.

It's not a game, it's a tool, like Cad software used to design houses.
If you like to design houses, hey, maybe you'll like this game.
Most of us aren't architects though.

If you're looking to play a Search and Rescue game, a game with exciting missions and maybe a story arc, or some kind of development/progression, beautiful new landmasses to discover and natural disasters, THEN DON'T BUY THIS GAME!

You might make a decent vehicle after downloading 90% of it - if not all of it - from the workshop from people with coding degrees who abuse bugs as if they were speedrunners, you might even be able to make for example a float plane float without having its pontoons being bigger than the fuselage and you might be able to build a car with a custom engine that doesn't overheat in seconds with a functioning automatic gearbox....

You might, after 1400 hours, you MIGHT.


This game would be great if these things happened:

- Make an actual campaign:
- Add actual progression.
- Add more than a handful stale mission types.
- Add a story, an actual reason to play it like an end goal. same goes for the DLC, don't add
a new way to play the game without a campaign.

- Change the map:
- Less clutter and more landmasses.
- Add more biomes (currently 2)
- Make the map more compact, it shouldn't
take hours at 100km/h (~62mp/h) to go from one biome to another.

- Fix the physics engine:
- Add a lift mechanic (currently wing sections do nothing except being
light maybe)
- Make water denser (every vehicle feels like it's made of lead)
- Increase gravity (a 25.000 mass vehicle feels light like a feather)
- Add momentum (currently barely exists see previous point)

- Fix the existing features:
- modular engines feel like they have 5-10% of the cooling the simple engines have.

- Add basic game features:
- Make the tutorial helpful.
- Add an optional building tutorial.

- Make the game user friendly:
- Add basic screen editing (you can leave the LUA stuff in)
- Make an easy to use mission editor (you can leave in the LUA one too)
- Allow for changing of the UI/builder background colours.


Let's compare it with a similar game; From the Depths. It's also a voxel based "build and use" game, it is however a fighting game, not a SAR game, so keep that in mind.

From the Depths has:

- Progression
- Multiple campaigns
- Lore
- Multiple campaign maps
- Map diversity
- You can speed up time whilst traveling on campaign maps
- Better physics
- Gravity changes the higher you go
- Momentum
- Working features
- An optional tutorial
- An optional building tutorial
- Editable UI colours
- More user friendlynes
- AI

So if that sounds like a game you want to give a shot at go ahead. It can seem intimidating at first and has a learning curve steeper than a skyscraper but it sure is a completed game.

I haven't mentioned Multiplayer at all,because haven't played it.



Edit:

The Devs added modding support, 2 years too late imo, but looking over recent updates it looks like they lost interest in the game long ago.
Let's hope and pray the community can change/fix the game for free, for what we paid the Devs for.

Good Game.

30 Bucks would be fine for this beta, not 50.

very fun

gud

very very very awesome <3
