Where do these repeated spurious overviews of Planet Steam keep coming from? Not wanting to be a pedant but;

1/ There is no farming in the game
2/ Its not on Mars its stunningly on ‘Planet Steam’....we’ll ignore the date line.
3/ There are no robots
4/ It’s not about subjugating the planet.

Its a mining and economic trading game. Now do try to keep up.

Apparently from the Hippodice website. The description was surely based on the prototype.
