Reason to go back to starter zone

I wish that there were a reason whether story related or something else, to go back to the starter zone. I find the starter zone so much more beautiful and unique than the end zone and for that reason, i only ever find myself going back just to admire it, but never for an actual reason. Please add a reason.

The later zones will probably be polished more and look as good as the starting zone as time goes on, though if the devs aren’t planning on that I do think they should. When the game’s actual ending is added there will probably be a reason to return to every area, though regardless I hope that they polish all of the areas to the same level. SN1 didn’t have any areas as empty as the late-game ones that are in now.

would argue that the end zone is less empty than the ILZ from sn1, just feels that way because of how massive it is. the starter zone is only around a quarter of the map’s total size, after all

that being said i feel like the bioscanner is a good excuse to go back to the starter zone? just because there are a lot of creatures exclusive to the area, in order to get the majority of bio scans you’ll need to trek back, but i do think it would be nice having even more of a reason to go back beyond the scanning
