So far the game has been an amazing timesink, addicting and just overall fun. What I like the most is that it can be a chill game, but also a hard game once you get to a certain stage. I wouldn't really want it any other way. The developer is also very responsive on his Discord Server, listening to feedback and implementing fixes when needed. I'd definitely pay full price for this game if asked to. 10/10

Great game for the first few hours, but it needs a lot more content. After about five hours, you start hunting for a sense of progression, and the gameplay eventually devolves into just maximizing profits. I’d recommend it, but if there were a 'middle' button between 'Yes' and 'No,' I would pick that.

I was invited to participate in the pre-release beta test and ended up playing it on stream with my Twitch community, "StirloGaming" — we had a great time! The resource management is well-balanced and engaging without ever feeling overwhelming, and the tutorial is clear and informative, making it easy to get started. The gameplay loop is very addictive, with satisfying progression. The mechanics feel solid, and the …

Space Drilling Station is a fun sci-fi themed mining tycoon/management game. You manage a space drilling rig on an exoplanet. Thematically it's vaguely similar to the old Moon Tycoon game, albeit the gameplay scope is very different and in a sense much more fleshed out. It starts out pretty chill, but the game quickly opens up with new mechanics and requirements. I really like the art style (with the exception of …

neutral · AI labelView post →Early impressions are positive for me. Similarly to a game like Recettear, the gameplay revolves around an ever-rising minimum output needed to not lose. So you're balancing secondary needs and expansion with the primary need producing enough to keep meeting your minimums. It feels pretty railroaded for the first few hours, but by the 3rd I saw it opening up via a world map and expanding production chains. I think if the store page has you interested worth trying the demo.

neutral · AI labelView post →Super impressed by a solo developer, it has depth, but also not too complex at the same time, even with early access pretty solid, not issues as of yet. I highly recommend this game worth every penny. If you do play this game keep in mind of experience for all jobs as soon as you can get better experienced people. Delivery people routes have a max item amount going up and down floors slows them down, sometimes it's better to just have more routes vs more people on a specific route. A few…

neutral · AI labelView post →Initially had a game breaking bug/design issue. let the dev know (albeit with a less than kind comment) and he immediately fixed it. Definity worth supporting this guy.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ok, so, in short, this is a hidden gem on Steam. I did not expect so much fun from it. I struggle to beat this game using a conventional appraoch. I have a lot to learn before I can admit I am able to beat this! And I will deffinitelly continue to play this at some point once a time allows it! It is unbelievable that a Solo developer created this. SOLO DEVELOPER! Damien deserves the biggest Kudos for this project. Development, management, resource-gathering and components creation. My…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty fun. Early access and no technical issues. Could probably use some work on balance.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When the demo finished i genuinely missed this game. its charming, easy to understand and the base building is wonderful
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love sim management games, and this one scratches the itch in very specific ways. The logistics network setup is deep enough to matter, but not so overwhelming as to be discouraging. The staffing management is actually worth paying attention to regularly. The building and efficiency setups actually matter, but the ability to move things around makes mistakes not feel like unnecessary punishments. The dev is apparently and indie developer, and I'm really impressed with his work and…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have been enjoying Space Drilling Station via the Demo and also the targeted Beta Tests to assist with both translation and also squishing bugs. I am unsuure why this game is so addictive , but there is always the urge to do 'one more thing' and before you know it, another 2 hours have passed. Now we have the EA Release, it is time to see how effecient I can be with my first new station with what i have learned the hard way over teh past few months.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Liked it when I played a demo, looking forward to see how it develops :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played 5h and I feel that I still have a lot to discover. So for a game developed my 1 dev, it's really really good. It will not re-invent the style, but all the mechanics are well established, well performed and the game itself is nicely polished. It is challenging without being frustrating. I really like it, and I will probably play regularly !
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Solid little game to drop some time into, A few things could be better explained but I'm still learning all the systems so I might just be missing something. The atmosphere is my favourite aspect pretty relaxing as a whole.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had a lot of fun playing the demo a few years back and things have only improved!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game. Very well thought out in a way only a solo dev can do. Clearly a labor of love.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really enjoyed the demo. There is a really satisfying game loop and I like the contained build areas!
