What to do after tech tree?

[Souper]

After some contracts from Kerbodyne that wound up giving me 1200 science points each boosted me to the end of the tech tree before i even went to another planet, i find myself at the end of the tech tree with nothing to do. So, what's the point of continuing my save file again?

Explore! Seek out new life and new civilizations. Boldly Go Where No One has Gone Before!

Ok! Science docs sound fun, its sounds nice to try to piece together how the kerbol system was made.

Set up colonies across the solar system and build a space fleet to service them. Amass wealth by using the colonies to quickly complete contracts. Do stuff you've never tried before!

Was about to post exactly this. The people who've been playing since before career mode was a thing never seem to be starved for ideas about what to do after completing the tree.

Do whatever interests you. Make a station. Or a base. Colonize Laythe. Do a Grand Tour. Install more mods and see how the challenge changes. Visit all the Easter eggs. Build functional replicas. Lots to do after the tech tree is exhausted, the only limit is your imagination.

Already got an idea.

Do some things from the Challenge thread. They can be surprisingly entertaining.

Glad you got an idea.

I'm surprised to hear people say they don't know what to do after they finish the tech tree. I mean, the only reason to bother unlocking parts is to use them on some project. If you don't have any project in mind, then there's no point in unlocking parts .
