It's Sandbox. You play until you are done with a map, then you start a new one.

You can keep going infinitely though there wouldn't be anything new left to do. The first goal ends on Sol 100, the follow by the event story. After that, no more, just building things.

Try and get the population as high as possible until you run out of space to build on the map.

Usually bother to finish the mystery... After that I can't picture myself playing more than 150 sols...

I have a couple of games I abandoned at sol 100, even though I didn't die horribly, the re-start temptation was too great (starting up is 80% of the fun after all ;) ) Improving on all the silly mistakes that weren't lethal (on a relatively easy lvl) and see where that will lead...
So haven't even encountered a mystery yet, and judging by what I've heard and seen, I won't like it so much :p
Feels like learning Rimworld all over again... Loving it! :)

Usually takes me between 30-40 sols to get to the point of building domes in more challenging areas/with less sponsor support.

You can keep playing as long as you want, it’s very open ended

Surely a game can't go to infinity sols. There must be a limit.

Why not?

One could play Cities Skyline for years on the same play through.
I seen people playing skyrim for 1500 hours on the same save.

I really enjoy open ended games :)

there might be a technical limit where u have more colonist than the game can handle other than that theres no limit... i left a game running overnight and everything was just fine the next day ... it seemed i had a couple of death waves because i had more colonist than i could feed but the system self regulated by letting the extra die... so domes where i didnt have any food production were slightly emptier
