How are y'all playing?

Just curious to see how many people play similar to me. I'm only starting chapter 6 and I have done nearly every possible quest, challenge, maxed every possible stat, research, gear, legendary animal, bounty, etc that are available to me. Nearly the entire map is discovered. I've got hundreds of materials stocked up and everything I need to get all of them whenever I need. I've already got half the upgrades for the mech, which I only found out I'd get because I unlocked the dispatch missions for some of the upgrades. Lol Y'all get lost in the sauce of exploration or do you play it a bit straighter and actually show a little urgency to the missions for later gear?
