most awesome Feature to add would be a Story line and within this NPC (non-Player characters).
think about it: this HUGE spaceship did not only contain one survivor. Surely others have survived , too, and maybe inhabit a different escape pod.
I don't mean the developers need to add a complex A.I. so that other survivors also build bases and expand and such.
No, just e.g. an injured other survivor in another escape pod we can interact with and seek some ingredients to find a cure.
Or some survivors are locked in the spaceship and send S.O.S. and Player must free them by welding them free or so.
Or a hermit survivor inhabiting yet another small Island and you can buy/sell items from/to him.
or.....
If even that is too complex to introduce, the minimum thing to add to the game is a series of PDA's that can be found that tell a story. (I know, that concept has been started, I found a PDA on the Island).
The old game "System Shock (1+2)" demonstrated excellently how dense and thrilling a story can get just with PDA Messages without ever seeing a real NPC.
