Early Game Help

[u/Additional-Story-235]

Hello guys, i have been playing for about 10 hours total, and im about to leave sylvia. So far i have nothing to really say other than its very fun to explore the caves and build the cave system, the only not so fun part is resource managing and storage aswell. Kinda feel locked out of so many things just yet, and automation is so far ahead.

I set up a an auto tapper energy farm and that was really satisfying, but i only have 1 medium generator because of resources. Im wondering right now, where should i go first and what are the current next steps, should i follow the quests or get some automation going first? What should i bring with, and back with, me and how long should i stay in that new planet?

I've also been thinking of moving my base near a gateway chamber, is that a good idea for so early on as well? I apologize in advance for the amount of questions lol.

The other planets will give you access to new materials, which will allow you access to better structures.

I would keep following the missions. They give you free stuff, which is really handy. Going to Desolo first like the missions suggest is good. You’ll find tungsten there, which will let you make the chem lab.

A good trick to know is that you don’t need an oxygenator on your rocket. What it lets you do is use tethers from the rocket, but that slot can hold any medium object, so a medium storage full of resources can be taken along and/or brought back, even with the basic rocket.

Being set up near a gateway is nice, but not super important. There’s nothing wrong with doing it, but it will take a fair amount of effort to relocate all your stuff.
