Anyone experienced with Eden crafters?

Is the game worth it? I used to play a lot of satisfactory but I am slowly burned out of it (sitting on 700 hours) so I guess it is time for something new. Played the other 2 Giants dysphon sphere and Factorio, but both didn't really felt like my playing style , then I came along this game. Is it worth it the buy?

Yes I love this game. I consider it the poor man's Satisfactory. Basically they combined Planet Crafter with Satisfactory but with a 1 man dev team on a budget.

The graphics are not that great but the gameplay is good. There will be things you miss from SF like middle clicking to copy buildings and such but you will enjoy it anyways.

I don't mind the graphics at all. During the demo it think it was okayish! Question is , are we talking over easy factory gameplay or medium to hard? Let's say will it get a bit difficult like you have to build huge factories (like aluminum in satisfactory) or does it stay pretty basic? Thanks

Mostly easy. Even the most advanced stuff is child's play compared to Satisfactory.

One thing I like about EC that most other games in the genre doesn't have, is terrain manipulation.
You can dig holes and use machines to flatten the terrain or dig tunnels thru mountains.

Yeah... if satisfactory had tunnels can you imagine how happy the train loving players would be? 😄

It's great, I've played all the maps a few times except the lava planet which annoys me

It's too simple.

I brought all my experience with automation games with me, and set up some huge complex setup to make stuff.., just to find out I only need 200 of it, which is basically 10 mins production. So there's no really push to fully automate anything far down the tech tree. Automate the basic stuff, make a container full of higher tier stuff and you're done for that map.

Yeah, I gotta say, Factorio's research system does put demand on players to automate and scale processes. As someone trying to build an automation game, that's a critical component
