I tried SeaBlock, but aborted my playthrough before long because it was too boring. I'm enjoying K2, though.

Don't think I'll want to try Space Exploration if it's even worse than SeaBlock.

I would really recommend SE above SeaBlock, IMO SeaBlock feels like it throws away almost all of the recipies you know & doesn't give you much new to reward you, I felt like it was more like some random fanfic. Where as SE felt like it was a poorly edited directors cut of the original movie. There's way too much & it's audience is really the people that wanted a 4h movie with 6 different subplots. Also lacking the polish of the original, but still very much in the spirit.

SE kind of has fantastic polish on its own - its new features like cargo rockets work flawlessly IMO, but sure, it has not been cut down to reasonable length.
