I rather liked the game and spent quite a few hours crafting everything... but it has zero replay value. Once you're done crafting, that's it. No reason to go dig up an entire planet anymore... which made me a little sad.

At first, I hated this game. I found it boring and stupid. But then I opened up the engineering bay. Days later, I found myself addicted. I find myself mining a single planet bare before moving on just for pure pride. 5 stars! I just wish there was more. Maybe enemies. Maybe puzzles. This sorta reminds me of Descent from way back in the day...

Hurray for the craft x5 option! Although... Would it be possible to have a craft all option? After gathering 300plus small emerald silvers... my mouse is a bit worn out form all the clicking...

That feel when your inventory is full of titanium and lava and iron, and you drop a dynamite to get rid of some hard rocks, but you end up standing barely one space inside the plus.

Great game overall, but I'm noticing crazy frame-rate drops every now and again when really there shouldn't be. I can forgive the game if there is a bunch of stuff going on, but I just got a random frame-rate drop while digging up right under the ship. Quality didn't change anything as I'm still getting them on low detail, even when I can run the game perfectly fine 95% of the time on high detail

Dear foxy, minecraft has been around for long enough and has already gone through official release, if it is form minecraft it is a delayed reaction, also the two types of gameplay really dont compare

if your having trouble finding new things, here's what i did:
1.upgrade optics
2.go to a comet (50 deep)
3.look on your minimap for a red u
4. mine it and repeat
note:I'm not sure how many there are per comet, but I'm pretty sure there's only one

Wow after finishing the game.. wow. That was awesome! I enjoyed almost all the mechanics except for going back and crafting all the endgame items which just took too long. There needs to be a craft all prerequisites button, at least for some of the things like the frames and the whirring gizmo. The story felt a little disjointed but was interesting. I went back and watched all the videos in sequence at the end to keep track of it all in order. The ending.. well i would have liked it to be more conclusive but now I can expect a sequel from you right?

I agree with the post made on jayisgames.com: instead of having S/M/L materials, just have the M/L mineral deposits give 3x & 9x more materials rather than having M/L requirements. That way, we don't need to craft/split higher/lower size materials. Great game, btw :)

Addictive game that already ate too much of my spare time!
Absolute 5/5 and a job well done!
My $0.02
The upgrade mechanism is already great fun but maybe a tiered tree instead of plain tier upgrade mechanism would make the robot more 'your own'- e.g. select which standardized upgrade module to plug in onto a default slot. Consider the possibilities; e.g. what if we'd find an alien module that matches a slot? what if the objects you plug in to your slots can be upgraded using the game mechanics already used? What if you could upgrade your frame to use weaker and more advanced 'slots'?
Nice references to other games or to Discworld (even sees octarine?)
The end is excellent as it opens a new plotline for a sequel, can we expect one? (please please say yes!)

Hey Okaybmd, could we get the ability, under 'Modules', to see how many of the current craftable item (Dynamite, Etc) we currently own? I know 'leaving the ship' isn't too hard, but it would be convenient to see how many you've bought in total, while you're buying them. Did I press that button three times or four? ;)

For anyone who haven't noticed yet lava pits empties as you drill near them. Good luck, anyways great game, needs more music though 4.9/5

Piece of art, best mining game have seen in ages! perfect combination of realistic items and places. Great work okaybmd!

@diphycue, lava is on temperate planets but it is more abundant of volcanic ones. In the planet map clicking on a planet will show what frequency of each element you can find.

@k1tsune, while i agree with you, if you hold the down arrow or S the lift will not affect you. This also works if there is no ground under you, and you will begin to fall rather than being carried upwards. + so others can see

THANK YOU! I expected it to be on the planet the request for it was on...since that's where it told me I needed it. Lava not on temperate planets...apparently.

I wish there was some type of finale that involved speed drilling away from some incoming lave. Something that really accented your upgrades. Maybe the only way to get back home is to drill to the center of a planet and then drill out while intense lava pressure exploded you out of orbit. I don't know something to play with maybe.

I finally understand what the mysterious alloy is: the power source for the pods. The ones found in the pods are depleted, because they were all used up, but the one that was found in the beginning was not.

Ace job, though some points need tweaking a little, it took -ages- to get the next cooling upgrade, and it turned out the reason was I needed to collect titanium, which could ONLY be collected below 100ft, and I could only GET under 100ft on the current cooling system on a frozen world, which was -very- rarely over 50ft.

I may just be missing something obvious, but I've read and reread through the descriptions for aberrant matter, both in inventory and on screen when near the egg and I can't figure out how to collect it, I've tried drilling away all the nearby blocks, both immediately one block after another, and with pauses between blocks, I've tried dynamite, both while there is some of the bar around the egg left and when it's empty, I've tried drilling into it when the bar is empty, I'm not getting anywhere, what am I missing?

I really would LOVE a button saying "build what' s required automatically" - the game itself is cool, but it' s a little time consuming when I have to build 4 items to build another one of four other items, to get the item I need to upgrade my engineering.
Give it 4/5 anyways :)

This game was wonderful. I actually played it until I got all of the achievements, which is rare for me. My biggest critique would be that Titanium was such a bitch to find. Even knowing exactly where to go was difficult.
Still, a wonderful game. I hope for a sequel!

Game screen bugs out for me from time to time, fixes itself on refresh, but still - incredibly frustrating (Chrome, Mac OSX)

Qwandri: Check the planet info before you take off for a planet. It will tell you relative quantities of each mineral available on the plane, as well as which gas is present there.

Good game. However, I encounter a problem when I click skip the video intro. The video screen stays there and I have no way to close. Eventually I have to reload the game.

To craft a Modular Framing, you need: 48 nuggets of iron; 10 nuggets of silver; 2 nuggets and 2 chunks of titanium (eq. 20 nuggets); 3 globules, 1 blob and 2 globs of lava (eq. 13 globules). Start with crafting a rough silver bar and an unbendable as well as an indestructible titanium bar. Craft 16 screws and then 8 bolts (leaving you with 8 screws). 3 series of tubes and then you can start with the fragile frame and craft your way up to the modular framing without getting tangled up in the prerequisites.

It's not a glitch physco. You are simply cooling too low even on a surface and die of accumulated heat, it's perfectly logical
