Finished the game!  It was , overall, pretty enjoyable.  It took me a while to "aim at the water, though".  I had to aim low for the "escape" prompt to come up, while for a while, I was wading through the water, just aiming any which way, almost drowning at times, trying to escape.

Now, while enjoyable, the game was a bit grindy, mainly due to necessity to keep raiding rebel compounds to get the bits needed to craft the engines.  Basically, it got repetitive.   Also - the skill points necessary to buy crafting skills may be low, or the experience points you get for certain things may be too high.  After a while, I just had a ton of unused skill points left over.  One thing I realized is that you get the same number of experience points for killing a rabbit, as you do for killing a rebel, which didn't seem all that right to me.

I guess something you'll need to do, if you haven't done so already, is try to decide just what this game is going to be.  Is it going to mainly be a FPS?  A survival game?  A crafting game?  Right now, it's trying to be a little bit of all three, and I'm not sure if that's the right approach.

But for an early access game, and a $3 one at that, it was a lot of fun, and I certainly got my money's worth.
