Almost everything is so much better. Starting with graphics... Not only does it run flawless with 100+ fps at max in 1080p with a 1070, it looks loads better than the base game. Just beware that the gameplay is a bit "artificially" lengthened by forcing you to craft more, convert more resources, and other tedious and repetitive tasks. It might not be what most people want, but it can be relaxing, especially with the great atmosphere and music now. I can't consider giving this any other rating than 1 star, as Hello Games have lied again. I'm sure you know that GOG is the only platform with no Multiplayer right now especially when the biggest part of the new patch was the multiplayer. Wonder how weekly Community events will work if this does not support multiplayer..
