How to stay motivated Late Game?

Basically what the title says. I love this game, with over 800hrs (which I know isn't particularly impressive considering the type of game this is lol) on record, but I've never actually finished the game. I know that's not a big deal and plenty of players don't consider *finishing* the game a priority at all, but every playthrough I start I end up reaching a point where I start losing motivation around the late Middle Game to early Late Game. I've never even unlocked Particle Accelerators or gone nuclear. Every time without exception, my inspiration and motivation plummets around the point where I unlock Blenders and start working with aluminium, Manufacturers, and advanced fuels for power.

Now that 1.2 is officially out, I'm again in the mood for a clean-slate new playthrough, but I'm anxious I'll end up in the same place 100+ hours from now. Another dead playthrough.
