• From hands-on to hands-off: Start by gathering and hammer‑crafting, then automate with belts and machines.
• Satisfying automation: Set up Drills, Furnaces, Crafters, Storage, Planters, and more; snap belts cleanly into inputs/outputs.
• Tools to progress: Forge an Axe and Pickaxe to open new routes and speed up early game.

I spawned in the water and can't move.
Please, pause (P for web, Esc if you downloaded it) and start over for now. I am working on a fix for it. Thank you for the report!
when a convoyer belt is joining an other , the direction is unchangeable with r
I'll maybe add a map also , and a short explanation for the tools like the drill that took me some try to make it work
There are few points which are not clear to everyone, like how to craft, how to use the planter or the drill.
I will be working on clearing those out on the next update. Could you please further explain the problem you saw with conveyor belts?
I try to put 2 in a row.
It correctly auto connect each other.
But the direction of the convoyer belt go in direction of the other ( the direction are converging ) and I cannot change the direction of the one I'm trying to put ( the rotate button doesn't do anything)
The only way I find for change the direction is to go further, rotate it , go near again
And other things, I don't find how to remove an installed tools
You should be able to rotate while in “preview”, after you build it you cannot rotate anymore; you would have to deconstruct it and build it again.
To deconstruct, hold “run”, which is shift or L3 and then hit the building 3 times and the building item should drop again.
If it does not work let me know, I will check nevertheless if I can make it more intuitive.
Okey, I correct , I just try and it work alright.
When you are in preview you couldn't rotate them.
You have to place the first end of the convoyer then you could rotate it and place the other end.
But the auto connect is sometimes annoying , I maybe diminue the range of it
