Just finished the game, thought I had a little rant to make

The game is fantastic and the devs have done a great job and put much love into it but I had a little complaint.

(May contain spoilers)

The main goal of each biome starting from the second is the same, mine ore > ship it > smelt it > make the new tier gear and weapons.
The first biome was most fun, normally because every thing was new, the second also had something new that is mining but starting from the third mining became more of a chore. In the last biome when I finished the last set of gear I was like "phew, thank God I won't have to do this again" but there are new biomes coming so will we be doing the same thing few more times?

Don't get me wrong. I know the game has to have some grinding otherwise it will be super short but don't you think there are too many sets of gear? I think the grinding in the future may be better about something other than mining and making gear. Something that makes you stronger that doesn't include gear like enchantment or some new mechanic? Did you guys think the same or am I feeling this because I played on solo?

Anyway the game was really fun and in my top 3 and I have to thank the devs for this masterpiece, keep it up <3
