Was planning to play this a little while waiting for the other game's release and delete it immediatley, but that was not to be (fuck Microsoft and their dx12 
).
Ended up wasting far more time on it than i should have.
So, its pretty much the same shit as Surviving Mars. It doesn't actually take any effort to survive even on max difficulty, not even sure if its possible to lose other than on purpose.
Was overrun by the raiders in the beginning but they just damaged some buildings, took some resources and gone away.
Then i haven't built enough water storage and half the colonist died of thirst during the heat wave (which doubles water consumption or something - so water production was enough for the other half of the colonists). I thought the other half will rebell, but nope, only took a few days to restore the population with outposts.
Then there is this toxic fallout and contagion things but the didn't do anything noticable. (Don't even need medicine to cure radiation poisoning or covid57, no long term effects from them either.)
Food is never a problem and after opening trade with the other cities its possible to trade it for all the other resources as well.
Logistics is as shitty as in Surviving Mars. All the resources will be taken to the nearest warehouse so if you dont build the fields and hunter cabins near the cookhouse, the cooks will spend most of the time running to and from the warehouse to get the food ingridients. Its possible to forbid to store certain types of resources in one warehouse but then the hunters and farmers will do the running around instead of cooks.
Other than that its pretty similar to frostpunk on game journalist difficulty with no time pressure of any kind and unlimited resources.
Dropped it after the next stage of the main quest required me to build some kind of research outposts all over the map to study technologies for doomsday bunker, and i've calculated that it will take me about 50 days to get enough when i've played 120 or something days total before that point.
Btw the main quest is kinda retarded:
- So we've just emerged from these shelters and bunkers after the apocalypse and built us a self sustaining city, what do we do next?
- Lets build the best underground bunker in the world!
not worth pirating.

It's the best of the bunch IMO but your mileage may vary. It's got a similar vibe to Surviving Mars and I love that game.

Makes sense to me. You emerge onto the surface, see how fucked everything is, and then decide THE FUTURE IS UNDERGROUND. DIGGY DIGGY HOLE!
This surface expedition was just a mean to get a betterer bunker!
