I think mods could fix the interior issues, add some variety instead of using the same science outpost interior for every science outpost. They did a great job with those interiors, but ya.. after I've explored one or two I know where most things are and its.. not very fun.
Finding all the flora/fauna is really terrible right now. I'd expect ~30 mins tops per planet to find everything, but it seems like it takes multiple landings sometimes and nobody has time for that; nor is it "fun".
This almost sounds like a remake of Street Trash - 1987
"A liquor store owner sells alcoholic beverages to homeless people, unaware of what the bottles actually contain: toxic brew."
