I’m only asking out of curiosity.

After “Figuring out the game”, meaning how to make Units, farm nanites, set-up harvest bases, collect Sentinel/Living/Royal ships and upgrade my Freighter/Frigates etc. (Not that any of these are things you NEED to do but it wasn’t until my current save that it REALLY really clicked for me)

I’ve spent the last two days only bouncing between my Freighter and a base I have set up on an Alien planet (no hostiles, no weather conditions, “Alien” flora/fauna, etc.) working on creating my first “real build” just for fun- a little micro City project.

I wouldn’t say it feels weird to be building but not really ‘playing’, but instead I feel like I’ve managed to keep myself content with just building to have fun with it, and eventually (hopefully) get confident enough to show it off and upload the base despite knowing it won’t be close to some of the marvels I’ve seen you folks/other Travelers create.

And so I ask, how do you spend your time in No Mans Sky?
