Very nice rundown Indigo!
Reps to you for providing a new player with pretty much everything he needs to know! All totally accurate too I must add, having pretty much done everything you listed for ridiculous amounts of time!
Good job! [up]
Thank you. Providing inaccurate information does no one any good, so I do my best.
One thing I did not mention - when crafting Weapon, Ship and Suit upgrades - pay attention to the boarders around them. You may notice that some times those boarders highlight. That highlight indicates a bonus for grouping like upgrades together.
For Example: If you add a +1 cooling bonus next to your Mining Laser, you will see both of these with highlighted boarders. This indicates a bonus to both. The bonus also lessens the further out from the linked tech you place it.
I'm not a protester honestjust wanted to fly my pretend space ship!
Yeah, that's what all the dissidents say...

Thanks for the guide!
I decided to start again, I'd gotten myself slightly "stuck" anyway.
I needed suspension fluid for he hyperdrive thingie, and my system wasn't selling any. Lol
So, i restarted, and i somehow managed to start on the most inhospitable planet possible, hot, radioactive, and many animals who like to punch me in the face. Lol
But! I didn't die.
In 70 minutes I already have more money and a minor upgrade to my suit and gun that my first go.
I've got my hyperdrive up and running, but so far I haven't felt the need to leave this system. I spent some time (15 minutes) scouring my starting planet for crashed ships or new multi tools, but nothing so far.
I keep finding literally, mountains and caves filled with gold.
It's not as valuable as I'd hoped. Lol
But my local starport has a +105% buying price for a few easy to find elements, which has helped alot.
Gold and Emril are a good way to turn credits. And if you've established a base and worked through at least the Builder's tasks, the Automated Mining Unit is a GREAT way to harvest resources.
It takes a bit of effort, but if you follow the path of Atlas, at least to the first Anomaly, you'll wind up with an Atlas Pass v.1 - this will allow you to open the large red cylinders, which contain Suspension Fluids, Electron Vapors or Antimatter, which can save you a small fortune in materials over crafting these. The v.2 and v.3 Atlas passes have generally proven themselves to be slightly less useful - except perhaps for collecting the Green Box commodities.
I did wonder what on earth an Atlas Pass was. And how you get one.
So far, I've only ever stumbled across V3 containers though. Lol
Unfortunately, this game, i decided to ignore the red orb of... whatever, hoping it would disable the tutorial.
It didn't.
