Goal system

I personally struggle with staying tied to this game. I get that it’s early access, but I need a storyline other than investigating black boxes. What if you could have contracts that require going to a certain area or collecting specific materials in exchange for a currency or large deposits of materials. Maybe even tips for finding stuff like researchable fragments. It could just be a way to keep players invested until the full game is released.

It sounds like this might just not be your kind of game

this isnt the game for you then. You’re supposed to enjoy the game loop as well. I have over 100+ hours in this game and counting and still enjoy the gameplay even though I’ve replayed about 4 times :)

Agree with other commentors. This just probably isn’t your game. No harm, we all have our tastes, but missions, super clear plot, money and rewards just isn’t the setting or vibe at all.
