Specifically, I want a mod that doesn’t touch early game very much, but adds a heap of stuff to do in the late-game such that building a MASSIVE factory is actually warranted.

Me and a friend have both *almost* finished the game, but we’ve got to the stage where we just want to E X P A N D everything on a huge scale rather than continue towards making the rocket. However, it just felt a little pointless because we knew we didn’t need to. Our current output was sufficient to finish the game, albeit at a low output, and so we didn’t feel like there was much to motivate putting in the effort.

Now, we’ve also had a look at the space exploration mod, but it massively lengthens the early game, meaning we would need to automate many, many more components before we get to the fun part where the construction of every base-building component (belts, drills, assembly machines, rails, etc) is automated and we can just build like crazy in every direction.

So, we’re wondering now if there’s a mod, or combination of mods, that acts as a middle ground. Vanilla-ish early game but a much longer end goal that motivates us to build a truly massive factory, and actually use it.
