I have no clue what I’m doing and I absolutely love it. Been playing for less than 10 hours total and I’m having so much fun just casually exploring and gathering useless stuff.

Should I consult the wiki or keep going with no handholding? I see people talking about certain things in the reddit but I haven’t a clue what any of it means and sometimes I’m so tempted to read up on stuff and use “easy methods” of doing things. But I fear that will kill the game for me if I have billions of units etc within a few weeks.

I would absolutely love to see or explore with some other people but not sure where to even start..

Thoughts?

According to the wiki:

Forbidden Exosuit Modules grant at least two to a maximum of four of the following six bonuses:

• 📷Shield Strength: increases the durability of the Exosuit’s shield.
• 📷Core Health: adds 1 health square (the player initially has 3 health squares).
• 📷Life Support Tanks: increases Life Support capacity
• 📷Solar Panel Power: during the day, reduces the Life Support drain of all movement functions
• 📷Sprint Distance: Sprint bonus: increases maximum sprint duration
• 📷Fuel Efficiency: Jetpack bonus: decreases Jetpack’s drain on Life Support

My thoughts on these are:

• More shield/health is always good as a buffer
• Bigger tanks increase the time between recharges but then again fuel is cheap and plentiful
• Does the drain reduction from solar panels really help?
• I use the jetpack to gain distance and only rely on sprinting when the jetpack is recharging
• I’m not sure I should bother with fuel efficiency as a) I have bigger tanks from the above bonus and b) ultimately, fuel is cheap and plentiful

What do you prioritise when choosing upgrades and what is your reasoning?
