I like the idea of an expansion. In particular, the current vanilla gameplay seems to lack any concrete goals to work towards once you get your first rocket launched - you're just expanding your base for the sake of it. Which is a lot of fun, sure.
- vaylian 6y agoLaunching your first rocket could trigger an alien invasion on the planet. You now have to fight much harder enemies than the biters you have dealt with so far. You and the aliens will fight over resource fields. And you have to stop them from building their base to the maximum level.

I mean what little story the game has is that you're an engineer that crashed on a planet, it would make sense that you want to get out again. They could add different planet types (like a water/island world, train world, restricted/small world, variants like that), or increase the difficulty and challenges as you progress to different planets. I'm pretty sure this already exists as a mod though.
