Early Access Review
After playing over 800 hours in this game I have some good and bad things to say about this game. (more information at the bottom of this review)

Main Things to note:
- The game has 3 modes: Creative, Challenge, and Survival Mode
- Great building mechanics (Allows for very interesting creations)
- Somewhat stable early game survival mode
- Over hundreds of building parts that allow for complex creations
- Tile editor for custom (creative) worlds
- Survival has a decent world size but could be larger
- Decent community around the game
- Does have some multiplayer capabilities

Notable game breaking issues currently:
-Multiplayer is very buggy and unstable if you don't have good internet. Creations will act differently and fly all over the place if you are not the host and are connected to someone.

- The game has bad optimization for middle and late game, and for most players, this causes much frustration and limits creativity because you need to change and optimize your builds.

- You can't have creations with tons of bearings because it causes the game to lag a ton and the bearings often can't hold weight making mobile bases harder to do.

- Automating is not very possible as of right now due to how the game loads areas and how stuff is not movable in the world.

The game overall is okay with its really good building mechanics and survival aspects but building bases is a nightmare sometimes and for many play styles it's not as feasible. The developers are also not as transparent about bug fixes and crucial fixes. But overall this game has so much going for it but it has a long way to go in terms of updates and optimizations. I can't recommend this game until many things are fixed, changed, or added.

If the developers also read this: please create a Q&A site where people can suggest features and report bugs, it's a very large nightmare to report bugs and it's very unclear where bugs need to be reported, the bug reporting on steam twitter and email is hard to track and makes it harder to see how many people are experiencing the same issues.
I can provide an example of a decent bug reporting site from another game I play if asked.
