That's because the game is very empty. There's lots to do... and none of it really means anything.
It's a great game to distract yourself from reality, but it's not a particularly deep game.
They said there are 4 Quadrillion stars and each has at least 1 planet you can land on. While true, each planet is one of ~8 variations and that's it. Like... snooooze. Then they just added shit like underwater bases which were useless.. or new underwater vehicles which were useless.
Nah - maybe at one point.
There is some real variety.
Oh, do the circle creature types have spikes now or something?
Did they add a fourth enemy that attacks you?
Are there more minerals you have constantly harvest to do the most basic of tasks?
Or did they finally let you adjust how your camera beyond the tiny fraction of variation they allowed before?
I heard they finally made it so the mecha is actually usable on PC now, that was cool of them.
That's like saying a sandbox is only sand. It is what you make of it. It doesn't need to be deep if your imagination is. Granted, that won't be the type of game everyone enjoys. But for those who do enjoy it, they end up putting in 2,000 hours like me, and I've seen plenty of people with more hours than me too.
