Visiting planets is just a very small part of the overall game. That was more the first NMS.

Wildlife for example you can train as pets, mounts or milk/harvest.

Once you get access to the Space anomaly the game opens up more and if you are social you will find outposts, pet arenas, race tracks and dog fighting/pvp zones. Ship building and freighters.

The latest update appears to allow groups to control areas of space.

All games eventually get boring but there is plenty in now.

Outposts sound cool. I assume they aren’t just all the same thing. What do they offer? I’m sure it won’t be something I look at for 5 minutes and think ‘yeah this is neat’ and then realise there’s nothing deeper than that, right?

Ship building and freighters sound cool. I’m sure I’ll be motivated to do that because my stock ship is really holding me back. Oh wait, combat is a joke and I can perma farm max bounties playing with my toes with my default shop I bought on max difficulty/permadeath.

Pet fighting? What’s the point of that?
