Deciding on goals.

Hello fellow rimmers. I have around 1800 hours in the game and can say that it is alright and is holds my attention well. However I come across an issue whenever I get ready to rim. What is my goal. I usually like to build a colony and just live off the land like isolated ranchers and farmers. Stocking to myself and just living and let live. I have never been off world nor have I ever caravaned. I have never attacked settlements or rained hellfire vis drop pods. What kind of goals do you all set for yourself when you start up a colony?
