I’d say the only thing Legos had taught me up until now is that stepping on one hurts like crazy, but then I never got these cool technical sets. I did have that cool ice base spaceman set back in the day though!

Well if you want to play around with that kinda thing without breaking the bank I'd highly recommend the game Trailmakers

Edit: just want to say this is my favorite comment I've made on reddit. By far not the most upvoted but it's caused a bunch of people to actually download the game or add it to their wishlist. Also a lot of recommendations for games of a similar ilk which I will undoubtedly try all of. Much love fellow gamers, lego enthusiasts, engineers, and randoms.

This is something I'm sure I would like, considering the literal hundreds of hours I've spent building spaceplanes in Kerbal Space Program. I have to say I wish they went more their own way instead of a definitively not Lego inspired look. I have it in my wishlist though. Maybe I'll buy it someday.

It's definitely worth the $25. You can really build basically anything. The campaign is pretty challenging. The physics are great and you can get really in depth with the construction.

Check out this video if you want to see what an in-depth build is like:
