De ce Acces Timpuriu ?

„I want to make the best game I can, working directly with the community is the best and only way to do that.
As an automation game, outpost engineer has a lot of potential development options. The core gameplay loop is there, but player feedback is invaluable to help this game grow.
Additionally, releasing in early access will help polish some features (UI, crafting recipes, research loop, quality-of-life) based on feedback received.
So I'd like to welcome other people to play the game and voice their suggestions.”
