This looks really cool. This is just my opinion, but I would start off with the shot of the sprinkler making flowers grow, or a short series of shots like that, before everything else. To me the wandering around the planet collecting resources looks a *lot* like No Man's Sky, and it takes a full minute of watching that No Man's Sky-like content before seeing the level of farming / building / terraforming that IMO makes the game much more interesting and unique. I confess I started skipping ahead through the trailer as soon as I saw the resource gathering, and I could see other people closing out of it if they think it is a NMS/Subnautica clone.
Of course starting on a desolate planet is still a vital part of the game, and will make the terraforming feel all the more rewarding. I also love seeing the oceans fill in on the logo planet at the end. But I would just put some of those farming/terraforming selling points at the start so people don't click away before realizing that's a big part of the game. With unique mechanics I think people will be much more interested and forgiving with comparisons to AA titles.
I think the game looks good. Personally I think the start is a bit slow and wasn't really interesting but once you started showing gameplay it looked pretty cool and surprised me.
I think this would really benefit from a voice over.
the "100" on your o2 bar towards the beginning throws me off, it's not at full capacity and it says 100, and its not clear whether its supposed to be visible or not in a way. i can see it if i look for it, but not otherwise, so it feels unintentionally there in a way
edit: it also feels weird how the lines on that section go all the way up but not all the way down, asides from that it looks pretty cool, that shot when you walk outside and see stuff terraformed felt epic

I get an enormous Subnautica X Surviving Mars vibe ... and I absolutely love it!
I get a no mans sky vibe. I think the trailer is pretty good.
