Comments
It takes 30+ seconds to load the first time (just shows a white screen). There are big graphical glitches once you start playing the game. For example, it shows a big area of water where there is no water (and never will be water). If you want to play the game, use CrossOver instead.

Comments
When starting a new game there must be a cut scene because the audio was stuttering badly so I skipped it (I pressed Escape). The game plays perfect otherwise. I've now played it for over 40 hours without any problems.
Note: I originally tested the game using the demo version and then bought it.
About The Planet Crafter
Embark on a chill experience alone or with up to 10+ friends in online co-op. Your mission is to survive on a hostile planet and turn a barren land into a lush paradize. Terraforming is the only way!
You are sent on a hostile planet with one mission: Make it habitable for Humans. You'll have to survive, collect resources, build your base, produce machines to heat the planet, create an oxygen-rich atmosphere and eventually geo-engineer an entire planet!
Gather minerals and resources to survive. Craft all the tools you need to fulfill your mission. Explore old shipwrecks and ruins and discover a planet full of mysteries!
You'll need a base and all sorts of machines to make yourself at home, and be able to bring life to this planet! Progress through building tiers to upgrade and expand your base and explore the planet further.
See life forms appear on the planet as you terraform it by increasing heat, oxygen and pressure. Witness the first signs of life with moss and insects and unleash the planet's full potential with thick forests and animals.
