A little too simple?

Kaloki Outpost is extremely easy to pick up, which in and of itself isn't a bad thing. Unfortunately the developers stopped there in terms of complexity. It's a tycoon game that doesn't give you so much as a balance sheet to help you understand why your outpost is doing so poorly/well.

The game basically breaks down into three tasks: built a power source, build an income source (which uses power), wait for more money. Rinse. Repeat. Ya, you can mess with some station options, but without any type of response meter outside of a customers-want-this-type-of-station, you have to eyeball whether or not you're helping or hurting yourself.

I was pretty disappointed. I like tycoon games and the reviews on this and other sites are very high in praise. Makes me wonder if we're playing the same game.
