came back with a nicer graphics card and man... i am so split. i did an Expedition, which is a very goals-focused start-from-scratch playthrough, which is cool. But it's very multiplayer, which I didn't like. And then I hit a billion more bugs, graphical hitches and crashes than I did when I played a year and a half ago.
There's really something here where you wake up on a solitary planet and you scrounge together the stuff to put your ship together. The actual story is kind of interesting even if it's not super interested in navigating its own depths. But boy oh boy, the mining is fiddly, the upgrades are very "choose between +5% cold resistant or +6% fire resistant, and it's a pain to switch between them", and there's still a lot of jank on them bones. Every space station looks the same. Every plant and animal technically looks different, but so what?
At the end of the day, people like this for the base building and the 1950s retro starship stuff and while I'm down for the 1950s vibe the rest of it just isn't jiving for me.
