tried it out for a while just now. interesting concept, but it still needs a lot of work, the balancing is quite unenjoyable, i was always running out of oil, and the generator overspeeds even with the governor all the way down. a more diegetic tutorial than "go to the main menu and read instructions" would also be nice. another issue was that my 3090 was pegged at 100%, even with the lowest resolution and graphics settings, but that could be an issue with linux/wayland/proton.

looking forward to where this will go!

Sounds like it's in a rough state at the moment.

The concept, screenshots and description make it sound rather appealing.

i completely agree, and can now also add that the dev is really responsive to feedback on steam. they have a pinned thread in the game community where people are giving valid feedback, and they actively reply to them and have also released some patches that are certainly going in the right direction for me. definitely a game to keep your eye on if you like this kind of stuff!

Good to hear the dev is very responsive. Will need to check the game out.

i only recently switched, i'm giving it my best shot! so far i've been incredibly impressed with the gaming on linux experience! the game peaked my interest, so i tried it out, and felt like my experience could be interesting for other interested people :)
