I’ve seen with the 4.0 update and now the redux expeditions, along with quite a few posts that a lot of players are stressed about what they HAVE to get or do.

Don’t be a completionist. You don’t need the “best” freighter, ship, multi tool, or anything else. Just do what you want. Get the first freighter that’s free of it looks cool to you. Use a subpar multi tool because it does what you need. Build a lame 4 room base. It’s OK.

This whole game revolves around a story of repeated failing simulations in which the actions of those within really don’t matter. That gives you the freedom to do whatever you want. Don’t hamper your fun with obsessively reloading saves to get the “right” ship or freighter, just get what you want. Don’t stress about missing out on an expedition, all the rewards are pixels on a screen.

This isn’t against the completionist players or the min-maxers. If that’s what you WANT to do, I just see too many posts of people asking if they should do this or that, and you need to know this-

In a universe of infinite possibilities, all of them are correct. Have fun – don’t complete goals.

I hadn’t really played my main save in several months. I thought I was moving on when they overhauled the storage system. I didn’t feel like starting a new save. But this expedition really pulled me back into what I enjoy about the game.

It just had the perfect amount of challenge for me. There wasn’t a time where I got bored. Nothing felt like a slog (maybe the copper collection was a bit much). Varied missions. Had good rewards with the visor and ship. I think HG really nailed the perfect balance for what an expedition should be.

Edit: Utopia is the expedition obviously.
