I agree that the game is amazing from a technical point of view, but look at the reviews and the pace of development. The updates are sparse and slow, and if there's an update, it's barely an improvement. This is one the of disadvantages of creating a game engine from scratch: more time is spent on the engine than the game itself, which may or may not be bad depending on which perspective you look at it from.
The cause could be an art bottleneck and less to do with the game's code.
Maybe, it's using lowpoly models though which are relatively easier to create or outsource. This game is more on simulations and procedural generation, so I think game code is the likely the bottleneck.
