In Praise of the Lost Colony DLC Skill Tree

I know, I know, downvotes incoming because "pay-to-win" and "paid DLC" and all that jazz.

I'm pretty deep into the endgame. Bases on all the maps, beaten all the bosses, an obnoxious amount of resources, breeding lines of most of the necessary tames. Was grinding purple OSDs just to have something to do (and pretty bored with it, tbh).

The Skill Tree gave me something to do, and actually forced me to do things I normally never do:

• Spend lots of time in the water
• Fishing
• Taming unnecessary things
• Crafting ammo (I play PVE)

Yes, most of the skill tree bonuses are kind of lame.
Yes, the order in which you have to do things is ridiculous (craft gunpowder and THEN craft sparkpowder)

However, it's given me a reason to play the game beyond random breeding projects and hunting for traits (both of which are mind-numbingly boring and tedious).

I'm on page 23/25 and actually looking forward to seeing what's on the next two pages.

Anyone else?
