I'm close to completing the game. I love it! The UI is fine. I guess the menu could stay open, so I can plop down five mergers a bit quicker, but it's just one extra click so it's okay this way too.
I LOVE the clutter! In Factorio I feel bad for not cleaning things up. But here? It's all temporary! I needed a hundred of thing X for a research. But it's done and from now it's garbage. It may become useful later, so I'm not dismantling the pipeline, but just leave it there. Oh, an upgrade made machine X faster! This changes the correct ratio between machines, so I need to plop down a bunch of machine Y, but there's no room, so it's going to be ugly. Perfect!
Mergers and splitters are perfect. Why is there no 1-to-N? There kinda is: you can chain them in a line. By the end I learned to leave enough room for these "pylons" and leave one end open so it can be extended. Looks great!
Maybe I'm missing something about losing stuff when moving things. I can't even move them unless they are empty? And I can just drain them to a storage vault. And if I lose something anyway, well the game is fast enough. (At least by the end.)
I love how the prices of machines change too. Either it becomes much cheaper, or it becomes much more expensive. And if I have some unused machines? Just pile them up somewhere. I can't get enough of the CLUTTER! ❤
