Tested on M1 Max, the app is still Intel but it works great, I was able to play a full game without any crash. I love the new mechanic were I need to build my own rocket, it adds some kind of end game goal apart from just surviving.
Some thing get a bit tedious at time, for example smelting iron sheets. Maybe you shouldn't need as many. But perhaps it's just because I've already played this game too much, it didn't bother me during my first plays.
In any case, I think that your game is great and I'm happy that you're still supporting us Mac user - it's one of the few games that I can play with my kids. Multiplay would be incredible but I know that it's a crazy amount of work, I'm already happy with the game as-is.
Thank you and have a nice day.
