Is it normal to start off on a planet that is incredibly hot? I swear I had literal seconds to spare figuring out where to find the sodium I needed to keep myself alive. So, I didn’t die, that much is good. I traded with one bird/reptile dude eventually. Named a few crazy lookin beasts. One looked like a beaver and a ground mole had a gigantic child (two big beaver-looking tails and the finger-star mole nose on a pretty basic quadruped body). Another looked like a stegosaurus and an iguana had a baby. Got my spaceship up and running by some miracle and harvested a ton of Na+ just so I wasn’t on edge walking around. Explored a few wreckages and tower thingies. Found a distress signal and a bunch of broken stuff on the ship where the alien died. I left most of it. Had no idea where to find most of the resources to fix it all. And now finally I am on the next planet over. A big toxic fungal ball. This game is weird. I think I like it though.

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
