The verdict
A cheap, relaxing and addictive moon-cleaning automation game that's best with friends. Progression runs out after roughly 5–10 hours, so skip it if you want a deep Factorio-style game.
Great for
Co-op friends or chill solo players who want a cheap, relaxing, addictive time-killer
Main risk
You max every upgrade around 1% cleaned, then just wait on robots with little left to do

Moon is too huge for the progression
Mentioned in ~1 in 19 negative reviews
“I cleared 233 out of 165k sectors. I genuinely don't think this game is physically possible to complete without spending like 1000 hours on it.”

Clunky building system

“The stupid snapping doesn't allow for conveyor splitters/belt to be placed near each other because it will just continuously try to auto-connect them to each other.”
