Anyone got this? I picked it up in the spring sale and i have to say i think its rather good. There are a few games i think it is similar to. Brian Reynolds' At the Gates, Banished and The Settlers. Basically the gaming loop consists of you collecting resources, which you then divide into more specialised resources in combintion with other resources. But those resources produce more, or feed more than their initial parts do. As the games complexity gets bigger, more and more complicated recipes are required to keep your colony growing and your people happy. It is partnered with a rogue lite style progression system which unlocks stuff as you go, allowing you to take on ever more challenging scenarios. Im impressed so far. It seems to work very well. Plus each colony you make is done and dusted in the space of an hour or so. So it doesnt feel like too long a slog and is well paced.
 
I have it since Epic early access, played until burned out. I am monitoring their updates, they add new stuff every 2 weeks.
 
I just got this recently on sale and enjoying it! Challenging with a steep learning curve. I'm still very much a beginner, only won two games.
