This balance between human management and industrial expansion adds strategic depth that keeps the gameplay engaging far beyond the early stages.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
You have quest and trades to do with different spaceships coming down to land which is really cool.

Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
There are other issues, but I think that those are easier to solve than optimization, so a fair warning to anyone considering buying this game.
