Addictive
Too addictive 10/10
So many polyps
There are so many popups asking you to buy stuff for a weak game with poor progression. It’s not worth playing.
Absolutely love this game..
So at a certain point of progress in the game there is an task in multiple factories to upgrade scrap truck 4 to level 3. There’s 4 slots for trucks, but only 3 trucks to unlock. Wish that would get fixed.
Glitch
Game just keeps saying event is over- each time I hit the continue button it reloads the screen. I can’t do anything. Please fix!
Needs fixing
I played this game and most of the time the game was glitching and wouldn’t have the workers on the table cutting the steel or the forklifts wouldn’t take the steel to the destination where it’s supposed to go. I had to restart the game over and over for it to work right.
Don’t try
This is a China company can’t trust them they will steal all your info
A buggy waiting game
There is not a lot that is fun here. If you are really bored, it is some busy work in the way that the activity boards you might attach to a toddlers crib will keep you pushing buttons and honking horns, all for nothing. The game is quite buggy. For example in the second factory, if you upgrade all three ships all the way, it will eventually give you a quest to update a fourth ship which doesn’t exist. This will effectively lock you out of further progression in the quest queue. Another problem is that layout of the conveyor belts is infuriatingly inefficient and bad. There is no option to redesign the factory unlike factories or the half dozen games of that ilk. You are stuck with the ill conceived factory layout which leaves your workers starved for raw materials and largely wasting time until the next break. When they do have raw materials, they likely aren’t working anyway, because their machinery is broken. The AI which powers the repairmen is similarly inexcusably horrible. There is no attempt to take multiple jobs near one another. They will often walk past six broken machines in order to fix one on the opposite side of the map. If they have enough supplies for multiple fixes, often they will go back to their home room to restock anyway, walking past a half dozen broken machines on the way. After about the first hour of gameplay, the game becomes utterly stingy with new workers. I have factories with workrooms that have never had a manager because not enough spawn. Likewise once your initial quota of 30 or so workers runs out. You never get any more and have to hire temp workers who never advance. This is in the end one of those pay to win, waiting games designed to leave you frustrated. In short, it is a pay to wait game. Do yourself a favor and pick something else that is actually well designed and fun.
Substance
I truly enjoyed this game however this game severely lacks substance for the amount they charge to remove ads. If I had known that the game didn’t actually go anywhere I wouldn’t have paid for ad removal.
Payment
Payed for the no ads perk and its said that the payment went through but its not giving me the perk
Fun game but LOADED with micro transactions
Pretty fun game. My question is how do you get managers without purchasing them?
Top game
Absolute brilliant game, steel mill manager!! So life like and detailed! Recommended, can’t put my phone down. 10/10 💯💯💯🤩🤩🤩
Need to fix
After the event I was not able to get in the game
More options and updates
Gives more locations and options allow us to be more free and do more stuff
Game is locked up or broken.
Every time I log onto the game, it says event is over and it just loops over and over and over again. There’s no way to get back into the game at all. Hopefully somebody will look into it and fix it or say something about the game is no longer being administered to.
Objective is not feasible
In the Vidal section one of the objectives is to upgrade the 4 garbage truck to lv.3 and that truck doesn’t exist in the game.
Gutes Spiel bis auf
Das spiel ist gut aber bei der Stimmung der Mitarbeiter macht einer es um 5 runter und meint er braucht einen Manager und wenn er nur elementar ist aber er ist Gabelstapler Fahrer wo man keinen manager hintuen kann wäre gut wenn das gefixt werden würde sonst top spiel
Quality issues
You can’t use the map, switching factory locations is impossible, UI is cut off on modern devices so you play a guessing game at what the app wants or trying to do anything.
Fun, but doesn’t always progress while offline
This is a fun game. I like this type of game, and of the ones I’ve played, I like this one the best. However, there is a BIG bug that gets really annoying. I’ll play for a bit, upgrade as much as much as I can afford, etc., then switch over to other games for a while, and when I come back to this one after about 20 or 30 minutes, my factory has made ZERO money, ZERO progress. If I leave for several hours, or overnight, I get a window when I come back where I can see my offline earnings. Also mildly annoying is the music. It doesn’t really loop well.
Only three levels
Not worth the money paid to be ad free if there’s only three factories. It’s a good game, but it really needs to be expanded. Once it’s expanded I’ll change my star rating, but until then it’s really not worth the money paid.
Vidal won’t open
Fun game but even though I have completed the requirements to open the Vidal steel mill I cannot access it.
Great app
Love tycoons great app
Glitch
The event is over but I can’t go back to the regular game play. It’s been stuck on the space event. I enjoyed the game til this happened
Quest challenges
The quest have been locked up for days now. Is there a fix for this?
Help stuck in event loop
Can’t leave the event after it ended. The game says click confirm and it does nothing. Help
Hmmm
I really wish I wasn’t having my hand held so much. The tutorial is too long and I feel like its just. Meh. I’m sitting here waiting and waiting just so I can see what I already know. I know how to read😂 and I hate that I have to sit there and watch an employee or item just go down the belt. I closed the app just so I could skip the tutorial
Was good…until the update
I was really enjoying the game until the update. I hate that the production rooms lose power. If a worker is mad they leave the floor and go to the break room. The upgrade tree now has four different tiers to upgrade. The best part about the game before the update was how fun and simple it was to play. So unfortunately with the update and the path the game is going down I am deleting it. Thanks for the fun I had before the changes.
Sehr guter Zeitvertreib, aber schlechte Übersetzung.
Steel Mill Manager an sich finde ich sehr toll und je mehr man spielt, desto mehr Spaß macht es einem.👍Aber die Übersetzung ins Deutsche von dem Spiel ist teilweise echt komisch. Zum Beispiel die Medallien heißen einfach Mal „Wesen“ 😂😂😂 Ich hätte noch viele weitere Beispiele, aber ihr Erfinder solltet mal selber gucken. Die Übersetzung hat mich manchmal echt verwirrt und ich konnte für manche Zeitpunkte kurz nicht weiterkommen, war echt nervig. Bitte behebt es!🙏Das ist aber auch meine einzige Kritik, macht weiter so mit dem Spiel, bis jetzt ist es euch sehr gelungen 😀👌
Bought 2 offers and received none
I bought 2 of the special offers for £2.49 and received none of them please can you resolve this issue ASAP
Repair technicians
Game is ok. But really stupid the repair technicians have to walk them slooow selves beck to the mechanical room just to go back to fix equipment that was next to them to begin with
Stalled
I have stalled out on my second factory due to all my quests being the same thing that I can’t make in either factory. I can’t move to the 3rd factory because of this. I have even lost out on the paid “tycoon pass” that I could have finished. I have paid for other things that are basically useless now. Please fix this. It was a fun game until this.
Need more content
It is a fun game, just only has two areas available. Excluding the temporary one
Events flawed
During event, you are given 3 objectives to complete at a time but some cannot be completed. For instance, one objective is “ upgrade any facility “ . But you can’t upgrade it when all the facilities are fully upgraded already. So that objective is impossible to complete and you can get that same one for 2 or even all 3 objectives. Which means there is no way to improve your position in the event. Once all the facilities are fully upgraded, that objective should disappear from list of objectives. And this is just one issue of a few that we have.
Just seeing if this can be fixed
It’s a good overall game but someone really needs to look at the timing of things being made cause it produced all the watches in the space event all at once and the robot crane can only pick one at a time this is on iPhone 12 please fix it would make the game much better either to be able to pick up more then one or fix the timing it’s made and not all of them come at one time
Forced tutorial
Stop shoving tutorial down my throat and let me play the game. Stop forcing me to hire workers. Stop forcing me to manually drive truck after hiring a worker to drive the truck. Stop with the annoying blinking hand trying to get me to follow quest guide. Stop forcing me to hire a manager. Stop forcing me to activate manager. Stop forcing me to manually collect trash to unlock game features. Stop forcing me to do research. Stop forcing me to go to events. Stop forcing me to claim rewards. Stop forcing me to claim training manual. Stop forcing me to ho to the stupid space plant and going through long winded explanation of it and forcing me yo upgrade it. How do I destroy the stupid space plant you shoved down my throat?
Enjoyable
I am enjoying the game however the offline counter doesn’t always work meaning you don’t earn anything when away from the game
Frustrated
My truck used to ship things has frozen and now I only make a small amount of money when I go offline. I can’t make any money while actually playing the game.
Nice little game but …….
Enjoying this game spend just over a week. Going well till I move on to the second factory which for some reason won’t let you make the second element that you need even after the latest update
Bug
cant get my steel mill the round billets to produce
Good game
I really like playing this game just to pass time but my biggest complaint is that if I watch an ad for anything the game closes out and I don’t get the reward (iPhone SE 2nd gen)
Overall good game
This is a good game and I am addicted to it but one thing I’m not happy about is I’m far into the game and it’s crashed on me. I’ve checked if there are any updates but they’re isn’t any. The latest update has caused my game to crash and can’t get back onto it. Please fix this as I miss playing the game already. Thank you so much.
Good game don’t pay
Good game but the reason I gave itv1 star is because I paid for no ads. 14.99 usd and I still have to watch ads. That’s called highway robbery
Tutorial Repeat
Whenever I come back into the game, the tutorial started again. This softlocked me from continuing any further.
Slight bug
Good game but it seems to have a bug that is very frustrating. There seems to be a bug in the game where you open a second meter but it never produces anything. This really reduces your progress
