My recipe to monotony of early game was to design a really small starter base (~20 red/green/black/blue science per minute) with the explicit target to produce construction bots. With bots, things become easier.

That being said, I understand the sentiment. I have been playing lots of modded Minecraft and Factorio over the past decade, and lately I felt a bit of guilt because I feel I could be working on some other, more meaningful, project.
