Pros
Pro Player Created Economy & Shopping
You can create a store anywhere & other players will stop by & buy the things they need/want. You can sell things that you crafted, things you found, harvested, hunted, traded, cooked, brewed, forged, extracted, compacted, etc. Some shopping areas have so much going on that they look like actual malls.
Pro 50 huge planets to explore plus random temporary special planets
The planets are vast - there could be a huge city on a planet and you might not know it until you look at an atlas/map. You can build anywhere on any of the 50 planets. When a special temp planet comes into the universe, you can warp to it & collect rare resources.
Pro Building - better than Minecraft
There are numerous blocks you can craft or buy from other players: soil, rock, sand, thorns, mold, timber, foliage, gem, metal, lucent gem, water, lava, trellis, glass, glass panes, etc. A lot of the blocks can be chiseled down to create almost any shape you'd like.
Cons
Con The only con I would say is that it's a small indie game & receives large updates often
A lot of players get upset when the game makes big changes so that they can keep progressing & making the game better for everyone. This game is available on Steam & PS4 - but it plays like it's a new game in Alpha/Beta to some degree. They haven't added much character customization just yet & a couple of basic things like the chat system are still being implemented/created. If you don't mind these things, this game will have you hooked! Most of the current playerbase has logged over 3000 hours...it's very addictive!
