and the fps fell to a crawl and i couldn’t really move my head to see stuff breaking and falling unfortunately

Huh… Didn’t have that issue on my hardware, which made it a lot more enjoyable, I guess. Maybe try again at some point if you’ve ever got a significant hardware upgrade.

(And, honestly, the missions are kind of a pain a lot of times. It’s actually more of a heist and getaway game when you play the missions. I mostly just wanted to play it in sandbox mode and destroy stuff.)

Have you looked at Teardown?

Haven’t tried the Space Age expansion yet, so not sure what to expect there on time commitment.

Massive increase in time commitment there.

You still start the same way, but now launching a rocket isn’t the end of the game … it’s just the end of the first act. Now you also build orbiting space stations and interplanetary spaceships (which require launching dozens of rockets to build), so you can go colonize 4 more planets, each with their own new challenges and new resources to gather and exploit. Each one of those can easily take just as much time to colonize as your original planet, if not more. You’ll need to build autonomous spaceships to regularly ferry supplies and finished products around the solar system to where they’re needed. Then finally build a big, badass spaceship capable of reaching the edge of the solar system, and that is the new win condition.

After playing Space Age, the original Factorio game seems like just a tutorial level.

Cyberpunk is an awesome game now, years after its release.

It was rough and buggy at release, but now it’s everything it should have been from the beginning. (I prefer to play on PC so I can have the mod that turns some people into furries, though!)
