Not a sequel, but a similar type - SciFi survival, crafting, building, hunting, harvesting.

I think that was a "tongue cheek / trolling" question. Starforge is a notoriously abandoned game that never met any of it's goals. I wouldn't put Fragmentated in that bucket.

I haven't played Fragmented in a while. I ran into a catch 22 situation when the game was updated and I didn't have a knife (or something like that) that was required to harvest resources and I had no blueprint to make one so I couldn't craft or do anything like that, it became an instant running simulator. I'm sure starting over from scratch will fix that (but there's not a strong incentive to do this until the next major update).

I hope they've added gameplay settings for this game. That was the one big flaw with this game. It was an MMO at it's roots and the grinding to reward ratio was way too steep for a single player game. I know there's a tonne of console commands you can type to sort of alleviate that but that's a lot of tweaking. Half-ing the required resources for crafting recipes would be a huge improvement.

It's all about that instant gratification itch. That's why these game tier things. You can make a wood house almost immediately in minecraft, but then there's the stone house, ...etc. The difference is that I'll a feel of progression quite quickly. That's the best way to mask the grinding / repetative gameplay that most games have.
