I personally love it, haven't really felt a lot of jank tbh. AI seems to like walki g backwards before the ing around when they are in your shop but it all works.

Tons of items, hiring ai to work actually works, they do their job and make money while you roam.

Building takes some finesse but that's mostly due to structural stuff. No floating bases basically.

I'd say it's totally worth playing, worst case steam refunds are available.

Edit: I should add there's an actual questing system too. Main and lots of side quests. Devs are very responsive in their discord too. Amazing ppl
