I only played it for a bit right after launch on PC. It was clearly sort of a grind-loop if you wanted to maximize your suit/ship cargo space, but that seemed like a odd way to approach a game that was touted for its procedural galaxy of planets and lifeforms. I quickly just decided to keep exploring instead of trying to grind credits and such. It was quite meditative and unique when taking that approach. I think I stopped after doing an unrelated OS reinstall. Might have to give it another go eventually to see what it's like after all the extras were added in.
