First and foremost, you have to be willing to accept that this game will never leave early access.

That said, eight years after it appeared on Steam, this game is still getting updates both content and bug fixing. It is truly a very long term passion project.

It will probably never have the polish of a triple A game, but it plays well, and I've restarted countless times - meaning the replay-ability is high.

Mod support is great, community participation and mods are seemingly infinite allowing play styles to range from super casual builder-centric, to insane difficulty where every blood moon will destroy your base and kill you.
