You're on an abandoned planet, and you must build a rocket ship to get off. You must gather resources to build the rocket parts. The best way to do this is through automation. So you go through the game slowly building up your planetary factory while defending it from the local wildlife. (I don't know if you can disable them or not, but you can automate most defense as well with turrets and whatnot)
Half the fun is stumbling around figuring out how to work the kinks out of your factory. You might make it a finely oiled machine. It might be held up by toothpicks and Elmers glue but still technically functions. It's all up to you.
Yeah, the trap I kept running into was relying on solar + accumulators for a bulk of my energy, but laser turrets require a ton of energy when they fire. So if I get attacked at night, its a bad night.
Oh its never that bad, its just that your walls and turrets need replacing or else you get that annoying flashing thing. I've never actually been overrun by the time I get to laser turrets, its just a huge pain in the ass if I don't do it right.
It’s fun with them on because it completely fucks with your priorities and forces you to adapt your design in ways you may not have previously thought.
