You have to restart the game when changing the graphics preset.
Not a lot of settings.
The needed parts are not highlighted in the catalog.
The ordering of items is a pain as you put the item down, leave the workbench and walk over to the catalog bench.
Tutorial stuff is basic and the home Interactive points only trigger if you happen to go near them.
You can only have a handful of orders on the go at one time.
Really slow starter, doing a lot of the same items over and over.
Playing with a controller is not always ideal, especially on more intricate items.
