Golden Retriever
All That Glitters is Gold!
In this mining platformer, traverse your underground mine shafts to retrieve gold! Team up or compete against your friends or go solo into the mines and extract as much gold as you can. Setup your operation and reinvest your earnings into better gear and equipment. This line of work not only separates the gold from the dirt, but the pups from the dogs. With danger lurking in the ancient grounds, hungry Dinos awaken, searching for prey and loot. The wise miner doesn’t fear the Dino but sees it’s flesh and bones as a potential fuel source for their operations. Gold mining is a treasure hunt, so open your miner’s map, test some dirt, and find that stash of gold!
Mine to Save the Town from Fat Cat
Each unique map has new environmental hazards like forest fires, earthquakes, lava and new machines like helicopters and excavators! Every speck of gold you collect gets you closer to prevent Fat Cat from building his Cat-sino next door and paving over the town!
Beware of Dinos
-
Dinos cause cave-ins when they get grumpy and stomp their feet
-
Dinos eat all of the gold out of your bags of dirt.

Demonsions: Industry
As one of the first reviewers of this game, I should offer my personal experience and opinion of the game here.
The game is VERY EARLY ALPHA PROTOTYPE; this is obviously incomplete and anyone expecting a full game right now is out of their mind.
That being said, lets get down to basics: The game seems to be a very interesting concept of voxel mining and machine making using different materials for different looks; however as of right now it just looks different from what I can tell. Response times to bug reports are astoundingly fast, even on Steam which is not their main contact point for reporting said things, though there are still quite a few bugs that need to be ironed out. This may also have been caused by the fact that my desktop is very old.

Earth Elements
The game is great, definitely worth the buy. I love the game-play, and the overall freedom that the game offers without overwhelming me. There is a lot of in-game content and new things I can explore with each time playing, so it seems like ill never get bored of it. I am super excited to see where the game goes as it continues development.

Utopia Colony
First of all it’s a game you play once and never again. Simply because once you complete your mission you win and game ends. It can be done in a w/end.
Game is interesting, it has a huge map you can walk or drive but going from one place to another takes time!
Graphics are not great but decent, there are several bases you can explore and complete some task for credits.
Your main source of credits are minerals can find around, collect and sell for credits. You upgrade your suit with more oxygen capacity, and as you progress you buy rovers, you expand your base and build several buildings like greenhouse which provides food.

Loving this game so far. Love the desolate atmospheric surroundings, and very impressed with my base as it grows. Currently hitting a bit of a brick wall as I need credits to complete the research tasks, but can’t find enough resources to collect, and haven’t figured out how to get my water extractor to work, so having to buy lots of water, cancelling out the credits I earn for any ore do I find on my trips out. I’ve built my greenhouses, and looking forward to when things start go grow. I’ve lost 8 hours straight on my first play, so I really need to go and make my lunch now. Thanks, great game.

Boppio
Boppio is a factory building game that takes inspiration from other games in this genre but does have its own unique flair. The pipe/tube system with its automatic routing feature makes it easy for even beginners of the genre to hop in and start building. As expected for an early access game, there is not a lot of end game content yet, but given the content that already exists it is a steal of a deal and well worth the purchase. I also believe the developer has already planned out and is working towards the next major content patch which is an even bigger bonus.

The solo dev (John) behind this game couldn’t care more about this game and his community. He streams development on twitch 5+ days per week and is constantly engaging with the players and responding to all types of feedback.
Gameplay is obviously inspired by factorio, but the replacement of belts with tubes, creates a significant enough gameplay change to really alter the way you think and play and has lots of room to be expanded upon.
As of launch, the game is currently light on content, that said, having been following and playing through this game for the 6 months prior to steam release I can attest to that the rate of development and know a lot gameplay, content and bugfixes will continue to flow over the course of Early Access.

North Modding Company: Bergsbruk
Yes, I know the game has some bugs that need to be fixed. But for the most part, it’s a really nice game. You can do whatever you want: Dig in the ground, build a giant house, mine ore, crush rocks, and whatever else you can think of. There’s a couple of bugs that need to be fixed, like how the vehicles tip over on a hill easily or the random lag you get sometimes. There could also be some more machines, but I’m sure that’s planned for the future. It’s a really good game, I recommend it.

I gave it another go when it was on sale and now I am really impressed. Definetly a lot of positive thing have happened and the game is really enjoyable now. If you’re a sucker for heavy eqiupment like me, I think you’ll like it
~~At 30€ I expected more. It is waay to overpriced compared to what you get. I want to support the developers but I wont let them steal my money which I felt they did.
I will probably come back in a few months and see what have been updated and give it another chance. But for now, dont waste your money on it~~

Outpost Engineer
Its a lot like Evospace..
Mine and cook ore into metal bars then use it to make components for more advanced products after you researched the blueprints. The game is mostly about building structures to place your machines and organize the logistic of your factory.
Sounds are awful
Graphics too
I still had fun playing it

FOUNDRY
FOUNDRY is a first-person factory building simulation set in an endless procedurally generated voxel world. Mine resources, craft machinery and automate your research to progress through the game. Face logistic challenges by planning and building a conveyor belt and pipe network. Manage a complex power system and expand your constantly growing production lines.
Automate Everything
While you start small by crafting your first items and machines by hand, you will soon find yourself surrounded by a large sci-fi factory doing the work for you. You need to expand your factory by building more production lines, conveyor belts and pipes while keeping a stable power supply for your growing energy demands. By conducting research, you will unlock more advanced, complex and faster technology to optimize the design and maximize the output of your factory.
Expand Worldwide
Every new game starts with a different procedurally generated voxel world. Each block can be destroyed and new blocks (terrain or buildings) can be placed to shape the worlds to fit your desires. Build your sprawling factory on a mountain, in the jungle or inside the deepest mine - everything is possible!
Play Together
FOUNDRY can be played alone or cooperatively with friends. The multiplayer mode works over the internet as well as offline through LAN networking. There are currently no player limits for multiplayer, but we think the game is best played with 2-4 players.
