Hoo boy if you want a janky as fuck space game that's also insanely fun, check out Empyrion: Galactic survival (Steam link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/383120/Empyrion__Galactic_Survival/). Specifically, Reforged Eden, which is a full overhaul mod of Empyrion. Shoutout to HWS, the public PvE server I played on.
Explore planets, kill aliens, do some mining, build a base/production site, build a lopsided ship from scratch and realize that weight and center of mass are a thing, cry when you didn't put enough shielding on your fuel tanks and they explode your whole ship.
Explore space, kill alien space ships, do some space mining, build a space base(!), realize that artificial gravity is a thing as you sail away from your space station, cry when your oxygen runs out.
A lot of game aspects feel like they're from the 90s, but other aspects are super in depth and really fun to figure out and optimize.
