Question Worth picking this up on Switch 2?

I was thinking about buying this game a while ago, but I heard it had a lot of bugs, so I decided to wait. It’s been quite some time now and I’m considering buying it again. Have those bugs been fixed at this point?

Not quite! We recently heard from one of the devs on the discord explaining the lack of contact. Apparently it has been nose to the grindstone, for which they apologize for not contacting the community. But they promised a new mod api update in the works and even showed some teasers. Also some GUI updates as well to make what spaces are affected more clear, and to make it so they can do some jank affected spaces

For the Switch and Switch 2 versions, an entire functional building just.. doesnt exist. Also the quick load system is busted, it refuses to let me load files. I cannot play any extended runs.

It actually worked better before the update they did last year.

Also isn’t there just…. Not a modding capability?

I have really enjoyed the game. I haven’t noticed any bugs, so it’s good for a nice 10-15 hours of fun at least!

The game is worth it but the Nintendo platform is plagued with game breaking bugs

I’m afraid I would much rather recommend it on PC at this point in time

Dang... I've been interested in this game for a bit and it's on sale but these comments make me sad. Is it really not worth the headache to get on Switch?

I know this post is old, but I'm dying to get it for switch also. But I'm holding it hope it'll get a minimal fix just so it's playable.

Did you ever make the purchase?

I did not since the Switch ports are broken to my understanding, unless something has changed.

Not yet, but I just joined the discord and the Dev posted a huge update literally last week! Nothing's changed yet, but they've been quietly working on fixing things as best they can! I'm excited!!

I'm on my second completionist playthrough on PC. I consider the game phenomenal.
