From my brief play of FS and watching others play it (on appropriate hardware), I can see the game is the coop experience I want to play.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Graphics on Epic with Quality DLSS I get steady 60+fps (EXCEPT when I pull out the resource harvester which enables a glowing outline on harvestable resources that definitely seems to tank the frames. Devs should definitely look into optimizing that).
