Late and Early game difficulty balancing
The campaigns and to a lesser degree in survival mode the game begins at a very high difficulty - particularly with brutal settings where surviving the first few waves with very little tools at disposal is incredibly hard - but becomes increasingly easier over time to a point it is barely a challenge anymore.
Here is a more detailed post:

In terms of the campaign, the cultivators quickly create a resource abundance which also trivializes later gameplay. On the other hand, cultivators are fun and motivate a lot of exploration and scan everything. Hence, this should also be taken into account: https://www.reddit.com/r/theriftbreaker/comments/wkc1su/about_campaign_resources_and_cultivators/

YamiryuuZeroI love the cultivators, but I do have to agree that they trivialize the late game. Why would I bother mining for resources if I have to keep spending more resources and time to create bases for couple of miners that will expire in no time, if I can just plant uranium?
If anything, I'd like to see the campaign mode increase in difficulty according to the number of resources I gather from the cultivators, that way it balances out well enough, I would think.
