I think in grounded 2, you should add bug pets as workers to the base similar to palword to harvest the basic recourses and give a little bit more life to the base.
Another thing you should add is a beetle or something a like to ride and wander with but also for hauling a lot of gear lack a mule.
Customisation is key to keep people interested and invested in the game, you should be able to change colour of your gear similar to Conan exiles and change the style to like a samurai or medieval knight for example.
Thanks for the experiences obsidian and i hope you consider these suggestions
