It's ok. The game boiled down: npc "hey I need 5 items" > item is locked behind a needed upgrade to unlock a resource and a special crafting table (which there are absurdly so many crafting tables to unlock) > grind to get XP to unlock tech advancemens > build a crafting table specific to the item that you'll probably only use a couple of times before you need to upgrade it again > craft item > give to npc > now different npc "I need 10 different items" > rinse repeat. There's not much depth to the game. Just constantly working on unlocking upgrades so that you can finish NPC quests.
