That's what people tell me, and why I played the demo. What irks me a bit is since it is level-based, my cool automation complexes get reset/lost everytime. That's obviously the point of the game I guess, but... I guess I expected more of a Minecraft modpack kind of gameplay.
I guess I'll just wait a few more months to see if I have an epiphany. It's just so expensive in comparison..

OH, ITS NOT LEVEL BASED! only the demo is, where it teaches you the different aspects of the game. Normally you play "sandbox" mode. And there you can build the biggest factory you want with no restrictions at all.

Everything makes sense now, what you said before. If you thought it was level based

But honestly if the non-level based version is also fun and has 100h+ of content, then I am actually considering getting it xD
I really like the base game, but deleting it all the time just is so cruel. I assumed the sandbox mode is like Minecraft Creative mode.

Yeah I don't think the sandbox version works in the demo. But sandbox isn't Minecraft creative, more like survival Minecraft. Also I think I misremembered, it might be called Freeplay and not sandbox, my bad.

But yeah, there is easily +100 hours, in the vanilla game. Not sure if mods works on the steam deck, but mods adds 1000 hours of ekstra gameplay! One of my favorite memories, is playing a death world with a friend. Its normal Freeplay, with biters turned up , so they're more aggressive. That's something you should try when you get comfortable with the base game, and if you like playing with biters!

Huh, there's also a sandbox button in the demo I think, I just never thought it'd be fun. Don't know if it actually even works in the demo.
