fun game, definitely recommend, but I have a few issues. - The AI for the automation workers are pretty dumb, just prioritizing the first order and ignoring others regardless of time remaining. Especially the Rookie worker, it feels like you are constantly fighting it the entire time, even had occasional issues with the top tier veteran worker. - Reputation is broken or needs rebalancing, my reputation went down to 0 pretty quickly due to impossible orders for a beginner. Reputation cannot be re-earned from my experience. - Besides the toggleable background music, there is almost 0 sound. But aside from those few points, fun game. Here are some suggestions for the developer. - A way to manually control workers and what material they print with - A feature to see the prints printing in 3d instead of the usual printer head animation - A feature to auto fill orders when you reach the required prints - An option to allow workers to cancel prints if an order appears - More printers! - More sound effects - Loans - Scalable orders that increase in difficulty as your progress

I really like this game and think it is a fun, simple idle experience, but there are a few problems holding it back. For starters, the cost of printers rises much too quickly. While I can see this is a way of slowing down progression, it feels unnatural and makes the gameplay loop feel a bit stunted. I actually really like the simple style of the game, but I think it would be cool to have a small 3D render of your rooms where you can watch them fill up as you buy more printers. I don't mean a whole open world, just a small viewable area with a little bit of customization so you can see your progress. I know that’s a lot to ask of a dev, but it would add a lot of personality to the experience. The game also seems to end too quickly; once you have purchased every printer, there isn’t much left to do. I think the experience would benefit from more interactivity, such as a website feature where you can monitor reviews and boost your reputation, as well as adding filament and item filters for the order screen. The way reputation currently works is also a little odd. If you decline an order, your reputation drops, but if you ignore it completely, nothing happens. You can even stop doing orders entirely and your reputation stays high, which doesn't make much sense. Furthermore, the order page is difficult to manage; you can’t make workers accept specific orders, and it is currently more efficient to just ignore the order system entirely and only sell carbon fiber items. Lastly, the worker interface is quite difficult to navigate. I even had my girlfriend try the game, and despite me giving her a full introduction on how to play, she still struggled to figure out what the controls did. I’m sorry if this sounds too negative, but these are just the specific issues I’ve encountered while playing. It has a great foundation, it just needs some refining!
