Another minecraft but sort of game more like what we wanted no man's sky to be although with more low poly graphics
been watching this one for a while saw it at PAX west and liked the look of it
it comes out in early access tomorrow so I'm looking forward to trying it out
here's some footage of Scott Manley playing it

Looks like a solid idea and the 4 player co-op could be a laugh.
Bought.
Bought!
I've just blown the evening on it - it was chuckles! I think it'll work great for co-op although I'm a bit stuck because my base only has space for 5 modules and I can't expand it any more.
it does seem you need to make the platforms expand before to turn them into anything useful, although I haven't tried going larger than 5 yet. I also managed to get stuck in a platform using this method as I stood next to it rather than in front which required a restart.
I have managed to reach a point where my save game crashes the game ... good times :D
There are a fair few bugs hidden in there.
It does seem a little unstable I've had it crash then refuse to restart as it thinks it's still running even though it isn't
had some fun with it built some space ships made a base on the moon built a convoy of space trucks attached one to the other so I can fill them up with stuff. Getting to the point where I think I might have reached the limits of what there is available to do. Did unlock a crane and a winch which I've not figured out the use of yet.
It also for some reason triggers steamvr when it loads which then confuses the vive for a bit and screws up the audio mappings
I'm pretty much at the same point as EMW. So is Felix!
As much as I'd like to try this Co Op at some point, I think we better leave it for now and play something a little more stable in our Sunday slot.
I found a few more things you can get the way the tech unlocks means it would take a long time to be sure you have everything
I got spaceship mk2 winch and crane but crane seems to do nothing as I don't have drill head
Also the wiring system can get confused if you have a chain of two slot hubs going away from your base and then convert one of those hubs to a platform it doesn't route power on to the hubs that are connected beyond that even though it still looks connected
I have this, it actually paved over one of my hubs for the vehicle bay.
That happened to me too, not a disaster. I'm actually tempted to give this some Co Op love tonight purely for the reason it could be quite a laugh... not that' we'll find much new but we could BUILD so much with 3 people!
we had a quick go on multiplayer this sunday and it was somewhat basic and a little unstable but it shows promise
once they've got it a bit more steady we should have another go as it was good fun starting up a base and wandering about getting stuff.
I did have a good laugh watching EMW die over and over. I think we got pretty slick before my client crashes really took over. I also got to demonstrate my heavy-on-resin-but-effective spine method of base building.
I haven't got too far, but I am giving up on it for the moment, with my first save dead and a tethers bug breaking part an oxygen tank in my backpack ... I think I will wait a little bit before trying again. But I do very much like where they are going with this.
I'm now spreading over different planets. As a weird side effect of the randomness of Research, I've only just got SPACESHIP! Until now I've been using the shuttle, which is painful as you can't carry much with you.
The resource makeup of other worlds makes it worthwhile to check em out. My current home is "exotic", which has more frequent storms and lots of research plants littering the place.
I would like a little more game when moving between planets - not as much as Kerbal per say but a little more. They've clearly modelled orbits and such and you have a maximum fuel load. I think that will come, so happy to wait for it.
I've not hit nearly as many bugs as Big R - perhaps it's worth a new go on a new save? There was an update last night.
I will proably give a it a go every now and then, even with the bugs it hasn't put me off the game, I can be quite patient and I look forward to seeing what they come up with in the future.
Found out what you can use organics for you can run the small back pack sized generators on it (large ones only take coal which I've never found)
The latest patch does fix my broken save :D
