Take the helm as a new Station Commander and exploit an alien star system in this stunning space-station factory automation game. Amass resources and construct starships using increasingly advanced manufacturing and expand your station in a hostile universe!
This game is nice, clean, simple and clearly made with love. The graphics are pleasant too.
And I did not expect to see Sunless Skies influences... the devs clearly love games and play a lot, it's certainly not one of 100 factory-building cashgrabs that are popping up on Steam lately, each uglier than the first.
That being said, it's rather basic. It's...
The first part of the game is fine, but you start to feel it in the second half things start to fall apart. First you keeping hitting these intentional stalls where even when you have hit resource caps it still takes hours to produce enough resources to build the ships for the milestone. You start hitting the blueprint size cap and then the link length...
Outworld Station is a chill, space factory builder where you explore and exploit a variety of planetoids, build massive factories in their orbit and take on aggressive aliens and environments. With both solo and multiplayer options, you can play your way.
The Good:
Outworld Station at its core is an automation game, and for the most part carries itself...
Decent and worth buying on sale. No replayability. I was on the fence for whether or not to recommend, but there are quite a few bugs for multiplayer:
-- Machines not refunding
-- Multi-select copy doesn't copy the links for non-host players
-- Massive lag spikes when there's too many animations on the screen
-- The productivity screen could be better...
In general, its a nice game, although the end of chapter 12 is unevenly harder than any other part in terms of the resources needed to construct all ships. I used this moment to improve each resource chain, but still the requirements should be lowered. Ahhh, I also used the teleporter to store all radio items, it offers great capacity without any risk....
