    Has anyone bought Starforge?

    So I saw this game in the early access section of Steam called Starforge. I was a bit intrigued and decided to take a look. I watched the videos and was really amazed at what they had in just an alpha version. I'd like to know from someone who's bought it whether you think it's worth the $20 asking price, because from the looks of it, this game could turn out utterly amazing.

    For those unfamiliar with it, http://store.steampowered.com/app/227680/
    It has the world changing abilities of games such as Minecraft and Terraria, but also has more realistic building stresses like Red Faction Guerilla. There looks to be fully customizable guns that you can build as well, and the upcoming features sound promising.

    EDIT: Seems like I should wait a bit.

    I'm currently battling steam and the game makers about misrepresentation.
    The video is nothing like the current game.
    As taken from my ticket with steam:
    "There is no mining, there is no tunneling, no terra forming, no enemies other than worms, creative mode has next to nothing that was shown and almost nothing can be done in it, there are no vehicles, hardly any of the terrain shown, no laser trip systems, no day/night changes, no battles on ships or space stations, no weather changes and some other differences."
    About 90% of the stuff shown in the video is not in the current game.
    You can either build a tiny fort or house from wood in creative and not much else or play a bare bones castle defense against the same enemy on the same map over and over again.
    It gets boring fast.
    You might be able to do the stuff shown in the video in the future but right now it is not worth it.

    Take care.
