I got this on steam, started with the tutorial, and after a few minutes couldn't imagine getting any enjoyment out of playing this. What am I missing? The level of micro-management seems so high, and simple actions seem to require clicking through like 4 sub menus.

For me the fun is getting a colony to a self sustaining state where I don't have to micro manage it. Then grabbing two colonists and go off exploring, trading etc.

The micro-management goes away somehow as the game goes on? I should cancel the refund claim LOL?

I would say in general you’re able to automate most things using the ticket system for production and work priorities. Unless you’re really trying to min/max, you don’t really need to micromanage. Military action is generally very manual though (for your pawns anyway, you can automate smaller military problems with turrets).

It does, and once you get useto how priorities work even on a new game I rarely need to override a pawn.
