Yeah this is a game i think is the best when gone into completely blind, with a few friends or then scrambling through the random lobbies until there's one that has other fairly new players, or hosting your own server as well, its quite a pain sometimes to get good lobbies going because often people just die and then leave immediatly, they probably got brainrot or whatever, also the only way to get people back is by entirely rehosting and telling the other people to try and find the lobby again. I will say the game is heavily affected by the people you play with, if you got a bunch of boring people like me it wont be much fun probably.

surface level gameplay is just get into a randomly generated facility where theres scrap you can take and some monsters, there are some generations outside such as pumpkins and ridicilously massive rocks that have once entirely blocked the way to the ship for me, and theres a scan you can do to find your way or scan various wildlife, which then gets info on them sent to the terminals bestiary wich is the intended way to figure out the basic ways to counter the enemies and tell how dangerous they are.

terminal has some commands you can type into it, such as the bestiary and things you'll need such as the moon names to route to the different moons, it'll tell you the list of essential commands on opening the terminal

aand i think that's honestly the only stuff you'll need when going in for the first time, I thought it would just be faster for anyone who stumbled on this to read it here than figure it out ingame but honestly its probably too much info to keep in someones noggin for too long.
