Interesting combination of automation and exploring on a large scale. Plenty to find and do, and enough random chance with discovering alternate recipes that there won't be an obvious single path to optimization. Fun and relaxing alone, even more fun with the (almost completely stable) multiplayer.

If you like building and industry type games definitely check this one out.

*update* A year later and STILL going strong with new content. Would still strongly recommend.

*update update* Full release and it just keeps getting better - still a strong "buy" from me.
