• I am still enjoying creating the factory
• I like that there is a triple and quintuple rail pole - but there is no easy way to connect all the rails at once to send anything remotely long distance
• For a game that forces you to spread manufacturing around a map - the inability to annotate a map or to even see the names of your Base Cores (why else can you even rename them?) on the map is exceedingly punishing. I have brain fog and I can't remember where everything is being built. As such I've completely build Turbines and Reinforced Housings twice. But that's not so bad
• The meteor heart, ignitium and quartz mining gets really freaking tedious. Why aren't any of the parts we are manufacturing capable of upgrading our Mining Lazer to be more effective? The base cores need so many - and the quartz underground caves become bland repetition after the first twenty of them
• I don't know what I'm doing wrong but the auto-save now pauses the game for a full 10 seconds
• The food tech tree seems really unbalanced. I stayed using only the very first tier of calories and water.... then leapt to the max tier. Starstears are seemingly rarer than Grubblers. There's almost too much variation in foods and there's too much scrolling up and down involved in the machine (the scroll bar is so extremely narrow it's hard to reliably grab for faster scrolling)
• Because you can't make notes on the map - exploration becomes a baffling game of "Oh, I have been here before", and I had to turn to spoilers to get a couple of blueprints because just organically searching for them wasted so much time. We need earlier lore/story reasons and prompts that send us into particular directions
• I like that the research credits are plentiful - I just bought the Petroleum and Refinery unlock outright as I had so much saved up: that did actually feel rewarding
• LEMs should merge and upgrade.... like three or five budget ones become an intermediate one. They start to fill up your storage space pretty quick

Looking forward to all that is coming <3 thanks
