Create an incentive/reason to go to other planets

Something like different material you can only get from mars etc. apart from Platinum.

You could change the ore used to craft maybe the nuclear reactor, some kind of (fictional) alloy so you need to progress to other planets to get that technology. So you need figure out your way to travel to your outposts on other planets to transport that kind of material to your main base or space station.

Would love a practical incentive and I am surprised there isn't one already. For example KSP has research value and contracts in specific planets that are too valuable to skip.

No need for Keen to make extra assets -- they could just have some research triggers/mats/enemy bases etc etc to those planets. Scarce resources is a great mod for the time being. Hopefully if I find the time (and that's a big if) I will be able to work on it.

Yeah I would love some incentive to progress through the game, build certain crafts/bases/rovers, Explore, go to different planets and all that. I'm currently struggling to find reasons to do any of these things in my current game and as a result I just don't feel like I can be bothered to do any of it because I have no reason to.


It feels to me like it's the biggest thing that's missing from the game. The incentive to do it just because you want to is ok for a little while but it needs something more to keep me interested. I really love Space Engineers and everything you can do in it already but I'm getting bored due to the lack of incentives and I don't want to get bored of it. Like.. I get the urge to build something or go explore but then I just feel meh.. about it straight after because well... "why? I don't have any decent/urgent reason to build this/go there..."


Does anyone know of any mods that provide anything like this? Only because I don't think Keen are going to do anything about this :(


(I know the scenarios provide incentives to a certain extent but I'm asking for something that gives incentives on the sandbox survival mode)
