Before the game completely broke for me on a technical level (unavoidable crashes within five to ten minutes of boot-up) and I returned it, I was butting up against the same kind of fatigue. I seemed to have every useful blueprint by day three, and the only ones missing were for alloys and the higher-level atlas passes that don't seem to serve much useful purpose anyway. I was starting to see repeats on the flavour text for various alien, ruins and factory encounters, so even from the lore perspective I wasn't getting much new.
The strategy I came up with to try and combat the feeling was to find a really spectacular solar system, and basically make it my 'home system.' I'd branch out from it to explore the surrounding region, but sooner or later I'd always return 'home.' At this point I wasn't playing the game to find something, or to progress in any way, but rather just to sit back and sort of chill with some pretty pictures.
It was actually working, before the aforementioned crashes shattered my remaining patience. xP The slower pace meant I was fiddling less in crafting menus to make warp cells, shooting less space asteroids for fuel, less launch thruster refueling, etc.
You might be similarly well served. Just find some absurdly pretty planet and plant roots for a while, at least until some content comes out that makes you want to start moving again.
(For some reason the last thread I posted in, the one about the 'No Man's Sky Rant,' won't fully load on either my PC or mobile, so I can't see your last post on it Gribble; don't know if it was a reply to me or not.)
