Hey,
I've been playing this game for a while, maybe a couple of years. I enjoy the building, finding resources, mining, ect. I play in the sandbox at the hard level. In my current game, I have 6 domes, greenhouse, 12 or so water spots providing over 300 liters of water, 2 workshops, bedroom, bathroom capsules and have not built the hab. I almost never build the hab because it doesn't add anything I really need.
I normally don't build the decorations because they aren't really funcational. If you give me a light that turns on, or a cadinet that I can store stuff in, I'll build it.
I have been collecting, making the parts for the rocket but making CO2, H2O bottles to make methane so you can make a nanotube is a long, kinda boring step.
I wonder, is the goal of the game to leave Mars or to find a reason to stay on Mars. I've been focused on building the launch pad, rocket to get off Mars but perhaps the rocket doesn't take the player away, perhaps it brings something to Mars. Maybe new advanced blue prints to build advanced manufacturing buildings.
Of course, maybe the game has gone as far as it is going to go. I'll wait to see if there is more.
