So you’re startingg up the game and have no clue where or how to start here’s a guide to get you that sweet jetpack and sentinel ship:

I- Finding dissonant planets.

a) On the star map when looking at star system info, look for those who say “dissonant” instead of “water” that will tell you if that star system has a dissonant planet

b) once on the system scan planets, in the sentinel activity info instead of displaying the sentinel risk it will say “corrupted sentinels”

c) this can be done in a simpler way using the warp drive in your freighter, and using the planet scanner in your freighter base.

II- Finding Interceptor ships

a) Method 1: Sentinel Capital Shipsfor this method trigger the sentinel rresponse in space by attacking any random ship (for some reason it doesnt work if you start the dogfight planet side or attacking the space stations), keep fihtingg till the capital ship appears. Destroy the captial ship and it will promt you to a dissonant planet with coords for your new ship (check the galaxy map)

b) Method 2: Planetside Brawl

In a dissonant planet start a sentinel battle and follow it completely till you kill all sentinel waves, once ALL sentinels are dead it will revveal the location of that sweet ride.

c) Method 3: Echo Locators: (easiest method)

Once you find a dissonant planet, look for the big drill bots and kill them till they drop an “echo locator”, use it from your invventory and it will reveal the coords for a campsite, in there solve the “very hard” math puzzle on the terminal and you got new wings, while in there you can lift the seal to get a new sentinel multitool and reveal coords for a sentinel ship

ps: echo locators won’t work on uninhabited planets or barren planets

You can also drop a quick tip!

Tip #1: Always try to be doing multiple things. Pick up the portable refiner so you can refine something from your inventory while exploring and mining.

Tip #2: Avoid multiplayer until unlocking the anomaly, can be stranded if not.

Tip #3: Exotic worlds only have 1 fauna so it’s easy to scan all of them.

Tip #4: Need glyphs? All 16 are on one planet here

Q- “I was on the Anomaly and a bunch of expensive stuff showed up in my inventory. What do I do with it? A:” Congrats! Another player has bestowed you with a gift. Most likely it is an item to sell for some quick and easy cash. Usually the item description will tell you what it is used for.

Q: “Help, I claimed a broken ship and now I can’t find my starter ship! Is it gone forever?” A:” If you merely selected to “claim” the broken ship and not “swap” it, then your old ship is still around. If you left it with launch fuel in the tank, you can summon it with the quick-menu. If it does not have fuel, it can be summoned on the Anomaly (once you unlock it), your freighter (once you acquire one).

Q- “Are crashed ships worth repairing?” A-” Unless it is an exotic, no. Scrap the ship at the space station, sell the items it gives you, and use those units to buy a better, working version of a ship in that system.

Q- “Any advice for new players?” A-“For new players, make sure you read the guide in-game. It’s an excellent beginner’s guide for traveling, learning about the alien races, building, and etc. Take a look over the catalogue of items too. Also, I’d strongly suggest mining a massive amount of carbon, oxygen, and sodium. These three items will be some of your most used and critical items in the game
