For real! I tried playing it after it was "fixed", and it was just not a fun experience for me. I spawned on a planet that had none of the resources I needed to progress, so I would just die after slowly suffocating. After the third or fourth time it happened in a row, I just gave up on it.

Having life or death based on RNG within the first 10 minutes of the game is not a good experience. I'm sure some people got luckier with their spawns and are having a great time with the game, but several bad spawns in a row really soured it for me.

To be honest, it really is a boring game. I don't understand why people like it.

It's way too grindy and there's way too many resources to keep track of. I get that it's a survival game and it needs resources but they just make it ridiculous. in order to make something you have to craft a thing into X then Y then Z - you can't just directly craft into Z, so they're just artificially padding out the game because there isn't actually that much in the way of content.
