Starting Out

Starting Out

Your state-of-the-art suit can keep you safe under these cold conditions, but it requires power to do so. The ship's crash site may give you the resources to see you over on the short term, so you should head out there as soon as you can.

Survival Tips

Survival Tips

- During the day, your suit is designed to power its battery with sunlight.
- Your starting area has a Central Power Hub, use it to turn harvested resources into power to charge adjacent machinery.
- You can top off your power suit from the Central Power Hub or pressing 'Q' on the Power Storage Block.
- Interact (‘E’) with the Manufacturing plant to see what you can make.
- Craft torches to heat yourself using the Self Crafting window (‘C’).
- Use the scanning tool ('M') to Scan blocks and process them at the Research Station for new recipes.
- The scanning tool can also do environment scans like the Unknown Material ping to find new ores.
- Pay close attention to the battery discharge rate on your suit, a blue text indicates that extreme cold is affecting your suit and a red text indicates extreme heat.
- The headlamp uses power. It’s great for exploring but don’t leave it on!
- Coal is the best fuel for starting out, but if you're in a pinch you can burn the local flora.
- You may have to dig very deep to find the ores you're looking for.
- You have a large build reach, so use it to place torches across large caverns.

The Central Power Hub is your first power generator. It has solar panels, and can burn fuels to generate power. It can only hold one fuel item at a time, so automating the delivery of fuel materials is essential. It has a large internal power storage capacity.

In order to acquire bars useful for crafting new machines, you will need to process ores in the Ore Smelter. You can manually interact with it, or automate the supply of materials. It will only start smelting once it has received enough materials to smelt an ingot.
