I never understood the base building if one main mechanic is moving on and on and on to explore. I may never have progressed far enough, but the base building is introduced very early and I never understood why I would waste resources on a base I'll just leave behind.

    You don't have to move on. Even if you're like 10,000 ly away you can still teleport back from any station if you build a portal at your base.

    I still have the same shitty base I built years ago even though I'm a few thousand ly away from it now.

    Some people love to have a base they can revisit on a planet they liked. Some also build mining outposts for gold and whatnot. Bases are also useful for inter-galaxy travel.

    I spent 40 hours looking for a cozy planet, but my corvette is my base.

    I also basically have no progress in the install X component to your base quest.

    Paradise planets are best for bases IMO. Having to set up all these different buildings in a planet where you constantly have to be indoors to not be losing life support resources is a pain in the ass and prevents you from bothering.
