Stop focusing so hard on it and just enjoy the game. Do missions with the right rewards and loot the settlements. Get some different views in.
i farmed it hard for a few reasons
i had the time to sink into the desktop farm
by doing so i dont have to wait for someone else to farm and trade/gift to me (they can give to someone thats not got the time i had)
my mind tends to fixate on things in bursts (could easy have just binged on tv shows movies or the "hub") its rather common for gamers and there is a medical term for it (cba to look it up)
eg when first lockdown hit i got assasins creed odyssey and finished first playthrough of the story in 5 days then hit the dlc for another 3 days then hit tombraider (1st one just did story and quit that camera shake made me puke for real not happy)
repetative things keeps my mind away from the colitis flareup im dealing with (if i have to run to bathroom i can just desktop and not worry etc)
its just how my mind works like cramming for an exam the night b4 but there is no exam
its my life and i deal with it the way that works for me
and i do enjoy the game (esp sneeking around sooo glad i took on the heist engy) i just like to get things done at some point (esp 1 time only unlocks like engs in elite) so i dont look at a nice/very useful mod and no be able to use it
i unlocked colonia engs but doing an 8-18 hour long trip (or longer with scanning to get elite rank in exploration) just for 1 or 2 mods isnt worth it time wise its NOT a workaround and for many players they have never and will never go there
so i did the farm so atleast someone else that dont have the time or drive to go to colonia for a weekend (or month if they are a new player and have no ship engineering done) can get some
i do have an itch for getting a FC for trading data since that dev stream...
