It took a few tries to get into it. Once you play for a while you realize how much freedom you really have at the start and can make cash and advance pretty easily. I fell in love with the mines. Worked really well since the more you mine the more materials you get to automate farming.
Also if you have someone to coop with do it. Having multiple players makes things fun and easier.
The wiki for the game is amazing and helps a lot starting out.
Can’t wait for the Mars shuttle recall…
