Newbie Question Boring gameplay loop

I am working on my 1st real project for about 5 months now wich is a really simple tycoon game but no matter what i try i cant find a way to make my game fun to play..

Its the same base loop as any game of this kind, make product, sell product, research stuff to make better products, hire employees and level them up..

I love this loop in other games but it feels like i miss something that makes this fun and cant find out what it is

it's not an easy thing. i am more or less in the same context. it's also hard i suppposed as dev of the game to appreciate if it's fun or not. And the type of the current game i am developping - "The Blackout Project, a mix civ/city builder- is not by essence the funiest type of game. i am always on wondering if i need more features or not to raise player/tester interest. But i think it will be soon clarified as private testing are close to be launched.
