I've been sitting on it after playing it a bunch in early access at launch, excited to dig in. You've made something really special, even my dad got super into it.

Honestly, even if your game doesn’t go that hardcore into pure science, and is just messing about with manipulating robots to do remote building, that’s likely going to be a valuable real-world skill in the future, so getting young spawn to associate that with fun games, is a universal good.

The game involved highly realistic budgeting and planning payloads to launch Shuttles into orbit, creating the assembly sequence for all the science lab, materials manufacturing, recreation & habitat modules, building the space station itself, including docking all components, and…

…retrieving scientific and profit-making results via deorbiting of the Shuttle. As a reward goal, you not only received “pay”, but also profit sharing in the results of the materials you manufactured & brought down from the station.

I just bought it the day before yesterday! Very beautiful and super cool idea, I hope the game makes you loads of money. I made this guy to move the steel beam.
