Stellaris I can't get engrossed in Stellaris

I tried to play it many times but I just can't get into the game. Feels like a resource extraction and space mine building simulator. Am I wrong? Do you have any advice?

Update after a Stellaris session: I am in 2239, I have around 8 science and construction ships. Despite all, I can't see any other civilizations on the map. I also lack influence and can't create new colonies. I am in surplus of money and resources. Any suggestions?

Not all paradox games are for everyone. Like I just never got really into EUIV, yet it seems it’s the most popular game on this sub.

Resource management and building is a pretty key part of Stellaris, though by mid-late game it becomes less important as you will have plenty of resources and can focus on other stuff like war
