One thing that really helped me enjoy the game a lot more is to understand the order of things to accomplish. i really hit a wall with enjoyment in this game when trying to grind out all the side quests in an area. For example i first land on Eos and go all over exploring trying to find new things. At first it was pretty fun but eventually i was overwhelmed and didnt really know what to do next as some of the side quests get stale early. Also mostly all the plants limit some exploration early with hazardous conditions. You can only go so far before enviro suit is overloaded and you will die. Once i understood how to tackle each planet, exploration became much more enjoyable.
1. Land on planet, immediately start unlocking fast travel points.
2. Start solving the monoliths as soon as they are available.
3. Once you get all 3 monoliths explore vault and conquer it
4. Now you can explore in the Nomad to your hearts content. Id still work on getting more fast travel points so things are easier to get to once you decide to work on them.Its so much easier to knock out side quests and tasks when you dont have to drive around the whole map to get to them.
5. Come back to planets later as sometimes conditions can change (ie Eos has this and in general its better not to burn yourself out on a planet)
