Gather fuel

The machine with the big laser on it is your central power hub. This is a power generator, that gathers solar power, as well as containing a small fuel generator that can burn materials for added power. It will supply power to the nearby machines and the power storage block.

You can take power directly from the hub by interacting with it ('e'), then pressing 'take power'. At the start of the game your fuel reserves are limited to that supplied for the tutorial which will not last long. Therefore your next task is to gather fuel.

If you have chosen to play on easy difficulty a coal vein and extractor are provided for you, otherwise you'll need to search for fuel. If you are extremely lucky, the impact crater will have exposed a coal vein. But the more dependible source of initial fuel are the trees around the crater. Dig up the trunks and collect them. Now head towards the hub, interact with it ('e') and press 'add resources'. This will start burning one of your logs. You will have to manually add more fuel to it, until you have to resources to automate this process.

With the hub burning logs, you should quickly notice that the graphic on the Power Storage Block starts spinning, which means it is collecting power. You can draw power from there, or wait until it is full and power starts being stored in the hub.

Now that you have low but steady supply of power, you can start exploring your surroundings. Any power lost to keeping you suit warm you can replenish at the hub. Keep an eye on the power level on the top left. If the bar is empty, you will quickly start to cool down to the point where you can pass out from hypothermia.

Make sure you have enough power to get back to the crash site and power up from the hub.

Your suit comes with a scanner tool, which is invaluable for surviving. You can select the tool by pressing 'M'. Now you can scan using the right mouse button, or send out a material ping with the left button. Watch out with using pings unnecessarily, they use a large amount of suit power.

Your next exploration task will be to scan your surroundings. Aim at a block you haven't scanned yet, bring up your scan tool and hold the right mouse button until the popup window in the bottom left tells you the scan is complete. Try to scan all the blocks in your surroundings, including snow, dirt, logs and leaves!
