you need to spend a few dozen hours modding it first, not worth the bother unless you know full well what you want out of this game and are sure you'll find it there.
Aside from that, get yourself some cock and ball torture realistic mods.
A few from the top of my mind:
Realistic ranching, realsitic plant cycle, seeds please, materials expanded, yayo combat/combat extended.
The basegame survival itself gets extremely trivial once you have set up a farm and have more than one source of electricity, the only real danger to your colony is raids which are the weakest part of the game gameplay and roleplay wise.
Make up some backstories for your colonists in your head and play out their stories, that's the fun part
