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

I just started a few weeks ago and had about 70 hours in. I know it’s not a ton but I was very invested in the region I started, exploring all of the systems around me and building up my base and wealth. I had a few adorable pets I loved, a coupe S class ships nearly fully upgraded, my exosuit was almost maxed out, I got a free S class freighter, I had about 300m saved.

I was playing with a permadeath save to see what it was like and after experimenting I decided I wanted to try one with serious effort, so I backed out and immediately deleted the second save file thinking they were put in order and not by most recent. My heart sank and I exited the game immediately, deleted local save data and restarted, but it was still gone.

Just needed to share my devastation.

On the bright side my girl just started, so I’m gonna start fresh with her. I can apply what I learned to try and help it not be as confusing for us in the beginning 🙂
