I never understood the base building if one main mechanic is moving on and on and on to explore. I may never have progressed far enough, but the base building is introduced very early and I never understood why I would waste resources on a base I’ll just leave behind.
Some people love to have a base they can revisit on a planet they liked. Some also build mining outposts for gold and whatnot. Bases are also useful for inter-galaxy travel.
Paradise planets are best for bases IMO. Having to set up all these different buildings in a planet where you constantly have to be indoors to not be losing life support resources is a pain in the ass and prevents you from bothering.

You don’t have to move on. Even if you’re like 10,000 ly away you can still teleport back from any station if you build a portal at your base.
I still have the same shitty base I built years ago even though I’m a few thousand ly away from it now.

I spent 40 hours looking for a cozy planet, but my corvette is my base.
I also basically have no progress in the install X component to your base quest.
