The game is okie; but having to endlessly manage supplies one by one is tedious. There is no reason the supply page shouldn't have an auto balance setting that distributes materials accordingly. Also, perhaps an intuitive depot would be nice. Instead of needing to hand place and designate every single stockpile.

Ixion suffers from the same problem Frostpunk does. Reaching a distorted balance of workers and jobs, as well as conditions can ruin the game fairly quick. The hull and constantly needing alloy is idiotic, especially when the steel mill doesn't produce enough to meet demand. The random starting bundles are just band aid fixes that don't solve anything.

I hate how you need to restart from the very beginning every time you F up. The A.I. does jack all, and the research tree sucks. You would think there would be system upgrades, not just base buildings and tiny tweaks you can't even reach for awhile.

I have no interest in playing anymore, not un'til meaningful updates are introduced. I don't need mind numbing gameplay, but having an insane challenge right at the start puts ppl off.

Kinda disappointed.
