    Hydroneer is a mining sandbox game where you dig for gold and other resources to build massive mining machines and a base of operation. Use primitive tools, hydro-powered machines, and player-built structures to dig and evolve your operation in this tycoon-style progression system.

    Using a state-of-the-art voxel based terrain system, you can create cave networks, quarry pits, or even mud mountains. Discover relics of the past in the depths of Hydroneer, with better rewards the deeper you dig.

    Hydroneer features a dynamic modular system for building structures and hydro powered machinery. Create the base of operations from your own design to optimise your work. Create networks of hydro pipes, control pressure. Craft resources, weaponry, and jewellery.

    Rigs are large hydro powered machines used for a variety of uses, from digging resources to transporting goods.

    Various parcels of land await you in the world of Hydroneer, each with their own advantages. Deeper pits, attractive scenery, and closer stores. You decide where to build your base of operations.

    This game is one of my favourite games.

    It is the definition of a sandbox game. You got a certain space where you can, place and do everything you want.

    You can spend time both alone and with your friends and have fun. It contains a great variety of tools machines and mechanics that are just waiting to be discovered.

    Despite some minor bugs that not only are fun, but can also be fixed with the click of a button, this game is absolutely the best

    Yes. This game is 9,5/10. It's addicting, and if you are looking a place to chillout and just grill some nuggets it's best place for you.

    It is kind'of broken, don't expect triple A quality - vehicles are glitchy, stuff is flying but it's so worth it when you finish your first sorting conveyor line. If I enter this game it's frustrating and rewarding at once in simillar way as Rimworld.

    I've owned this game for a few years now and dabbled with it every now and then but never sat down to play for an extended amount of time, nowI've owned this game for a few years now and dabbled with it every now and then but never sat down to play for an extended amount of time, now that they added achievements i thought why not give it a good long thorough go, so i did. Roughly 50 hours later i got all achievements and can now give a good report about the game.

    I like it, always been a fan of the factory automation games and this is no exception.
    I must however add that there are still a couple of glaring issues with the game mainly the way new material is purchased which you do by dropping EVERY, SINGLE, ITEM one at a time into the buying zone and then load everything into your truck or cart, this is an incredibly tedious process an i have no idea why the devs have not implemented some sort of bulk buy option yet, i can only hope they will add such a feature to the game more sooner then later.

    Secondly i had very big issues with the performance, after my mentioned 50 hour run i ran into massive frame rate issues around my main base which progressively got worse the more time passed to the point where i had to restart the game once every hour or run around at 20 frames, im running a 3080 with a 12 core CPU and 32 gigs of ram so it most definitely ain't me, once again i can only hope the devs take the time to sit down and give that game a good thorough optimization, once both of those issues are addressed i will have no complaints left!

    With that said i can recommend the game, it is a lot of fun and the asking price isn't too bad either, just be careful if you buy it for the sole purpose of coop as it only has a split screen coop mode that also does not run very well so don*t buy it for that.

    Le concept part d'une bonne idée, mais manque cruellement de contenu.
    Pour le moment ce titre tient plus d'un jeu en early acces (voir beta) qu'un jeu fini et abouti...

    Encore beaucoup de boulot pour le rendre potable et un peu plus attractif...

    En l'état je ne le recommande pas
