Some people are saying it's abandoned yet they just updated it, I normally wait for the game to exit early access before I leave a review, but I felt I needed to do a review just to counter the negatives It's a small sandbox, but there is a fair bit to do, looking forward to new updates, even if they do take a few months as they are normally large, having said that, if the devs read this, might I suggest smaller...

5 months and no update. I've a feeling this is another abandon game. I hope I'm wrong.

Can't get into it. Too empty. UI unwelcoming. It feels incomplete and too expensive for what is offered. Maybe later?

It could've been a nice game but it seems like another studio abusing "Early Access" to sell and abandon an unfinished game.
