It's hard to start over once you get to logistics and construction robots. IMO, these should be available earlier in the vanilla game.

That's the point where it gets tedious for me. At some point it's just painting with MS paint. I have drones that can build anything i draw, i have supply lines for the resources to build those things, I've launched the rocket already, even the turrets and walls are auto repaired/replaced and the bugs are irrelevant.

It was fun to get there and i always had some goals to acheive. But at some point it's done and dusted with 0 replay-ability.

I will never understand the mindset of those that build Megabases.

"logistics and construction robots. ... should be available earlier in the vanilla game"

Fortunately there are mods to fix that.

I had a whole slew of complaints about the vanilla game, but found that mods already existed to fix virtually all of them.
