That’s fair, to each their own. I absolutely love resource gathering and building so it is very fun for me. All but a few of my hours in the game are solo play.
Also mods can make the game a bit less demanding which can make it more fun too, like letting metal through portals for example.
Omnidirectional antennas attempt to radiate equally horizontally. An isotropic antenna radiates equally in all directions but is only theoretical. All antennas have some gain.
That being said, there are some antennas that attempt to minimize that gain and be as non-directional as possible while other antennas attempt to maximize that gain and become as directional as possible.
