I'm enjoying the depth of the game and how it forces me to consider making things as modular and readable as possible, but speedrun aside, it seems like the replayability potential is rather weak.

I'm currently on my first playthrough (Colony mode), currently farming "science research currency" spent around 2k of these so far, but it seems that I'll just figure out how to sort everything on my first playthrough, and if I feel like restarting, I'd just do everything that I did again, the same way.


Would yall say there're still variations to new playthroughs, other than minor terrain factors? Or is the first playthrough already so long that I'll have enough of the game by the time I reach the end?
