I saw some lets plays on youtube. But I'm still not sure if I'll enjoy it.
I love survival games like 7 days2die. I have 950 hours of play time.

doesn't it get boring when you just have to walk all over the map? I know there are portals but very late right?

What do you do in 1000 hours in this game?

Portals are available early, maybe after 10-20 hours of play, depending on your pace. You can find materials in the second biome.

What do you do 1000 hours in?
Forage, craft, build, farm, fight, sail, defeat bosses, do fun projects... rinse and repeat.
I'm very close to 3000 hours. After I get bored in one world, I just leave it and start a new one. I try different weapons or set some rules to make it more challenging (no portals, no maps, no permanent base, etc)
If you think it won't be fun doing it all by yourself, join a community or do a co-op run with your friends. It's always more fun to play with friends.
