I have 80 hrs in the game and have loved it. I think I’m hitting a wall though. I’m starting to feel like money is no longer an issue, and I’m becoming bored. ** **I’ve been doing several things to earn money, to get things I am looking forward to (more frigates, ships, etc). I’ve been trading, buying plants/materials for cheap to make and sell more expensive products, scanning things on planets (with scanner upgrade that gives a ton of money), using distress signal maps to find downed ships to sell, etc.

I’ve reached the point now where I have a freighter I’m happy with, plenty of frigates (though I plan to buy a few more, for about 8 mil units), 2 S class solar sails and S class explorer, and an A class fighter. I do plan on getting a good S class hauler, fighter, and hopefully some exotics. These are expensive, sure, but I’m currently at 130 mil units, and feel like money is getting easy to make between high end products, millions for trade goods with less than an hour’s work, frigate missions, etc. Let alone when my settlement finally comes online.

A lot of my favorite things are becoming boring. Waiting at a trading post to buy cheap trading goods and plant products because pointless. Frigate missions have some interesting items but usually I just sell the items, so these become less valuable. Missions that award credits (and much less than I can make in the same amount of time) feel like a waste of time.

Not trying to be cynical, but just explaining the situation I’m in. I love this game and want to keep playing and enjoying it, but my motivation and interest is hitting a wall as I feel like I’m reaching the point where money is not an issue and I can get everything I want, which leaves nothing left to work for.

Anyone deal with this situation? Am I missing some context? Are there other big purchase things I can try to get?

.

TL;DR: money is getting super easy to get, which feels like I’ve reached the end game, and I’m becoming bored. With so much money I can buy anything it feels like, which means I have nothing to work forward to. Anyone deal with this? Is there something I’m missing? Are there expensive things to look forward to besides ships?

I’ve seen videos and some articles that have complained about NMS being an “overglorified base building game” or “next gen minecraft” but I can’t even believe that people would take that opinion given the amount of content in the game!!

I’m 20ish hours in, have a pretty shitty square base that just holds my base computer save point and storage units, and the story of the game + exploring planets and documenting fauna alone has been MORE than worth the 60 dollars I’ve payed for this game.

Not only that, I’m not even close to getting to the center of the galaxy, hell I haven’t even found Artemis yet (if that actually happens?) and I already feel as if I’ve gotten my money’s worth just from the story and exploration alone.

All this being said, 20 hours of story and insane exploration to not even be halfway through the game, not even having a new ship yet, and I’m blown away that I’d seen people label it as a base building game. Totally ridiculous!!!
