Basic help
Here is just some basic info I have gotten to share with the community. If you know something that isn’t down please post and I will add it.

I would keep dying when I first started and it took me some time to figure out one simple thing to do that helps so much. Turn the auto to suit off for air and power whenever you leave. This will let it build up when you are out and you can fill your suit back up. with this air is not a big issue and once you get 1 or 2 plants you won't have to worry about leaving without a full suit of air. The one that does become a issue is power, but a few solar panels really help.

Glass is a recource that is used a lot, making plant pots, solor panelts, crystals, Next would be metal as it's used to make sheet metal and that is found in almost everything.

PAUSE GAME

system button, took me long time to figure that out.

As of build 1.0.14 under the oxygen bar and power bar is the replenish amount and drain amount. On the power side there is also the minimume amount of power you need to have your defences to work (turret and shields). You also have the option to turn your defences on and off.

A few things I found helpfull, look for plant seeds they orbit around the floating debir and there is food and oxygen ones. Get the food ones right away the air you can deal with if you are careful.
Stay away from the big ships and stations until later in the game, your ship will get hit with comets and this can kill your plants.

When you use your trusters most of the time you only need to use one arm at a time. If you use both you are just wasting the sweet yummy oxygen.

Sleeping reloads the world, so if you looted the big ship/station go to sleep and you get a new one.
Food
The different plants you eat and what they provide.

Pear
10 nutrition. 0 health.
Apple
8 nutrition, 3 health
Orange
5 nutrition, 5 health.
Grapes
3 nutrition, 8 health.

So pears are best for nutrition and grapes are best for healing.

There are oxygen plants but I haven't looked into that yet. When I get some information I will make a section for them also. They all seem to give out the same value.



Respawn of loot
The small scrap things flying around are always new spawns, the larger ships and bases you see will respawn if you die, sleep, or quit.
Inventory
Only thing that goes in inventory are the power and oxygen containers, seeds, food, gun mods, the locker codes, and keys for loot crates. You can’t put like compressors or solar panels in there you need to scavenge them.
Pistol/Hand shield
Your gun can get different mods to is that enhance your weapons ability. I have found two so far and they were both in a loot crate in the asteroid base.

The rounds are power based and take 5 power for each shot, to reload hold the Main Menu button on the same hand you are holding the gun.

Gun laser pointer.
Rapid shot.
Beam splitter
Missile (fire and forget will track target and one shot the small drones. But will also one shot you and your ship if not carefull.)
You lose these once you die.
Pusher

There is a hand held shield you can get, I have only found them in loot crats on the bigger ships. It will only protect you for so many hits then break. Once you die you lose it.
User suit upgrades.
There are 3 different upgrades for the suit, power, oxygen, and thrusters.
All go away when character dies.

Thruster Speed
Increases speed and efficiency of trustees.
8 Metal
2 compressor

Suit power capacity
Increases max power by 25
8 Metal
2 Batteries

Suit Oxygen Capacity
Increases max suit oxygen by 25
8 Metal
2 compressor
Ship addons outside.
As of build 1.0.14 everything is labled as how much power it produces (solar panels) and how much power it needs (turrets and shields).

From Derv about protecting the ship. Jon - [DEV] on discord
Comet Damage level:
Class 1 - 1 Damage
Class 2 - 2 Damage
Class 3 - 3 Damage
Class 4 - 4 Damage

Steel plate - 2 hp
Turret - 1 hp
Solar panel - 1 hp
Shields - 5 hp

The amount of damage to the inner walls determines the size of the hole, there are 3 levels of damage/hole-sizes to the inner plates. (first level damage does not leak oxygen, it's more like a dent)

ex.
Metal plate on the outside gets hit by a class 2 comet will destroy it but leave the inner hull intact.If it gets hit by a class 3 it will also make a dent/1 damage in the inside hull.
you can't repair the plates,solar panels, turrets, or shields, only the inner hull at the moment. Also shields do not regenerate their HP over time.

Defence turret (shoots comets and adds drain to energy supply slowing down how quickly energy pool recharges) has 1 hp
5 Metal
2 Metal Sheet
4 Crystal
2 Circuit.

Plasma Shield (drains energy recharge rate)
Has 5 hp and covers adjacent squares from damage.
2 Metal Sheet
4 Plasma
2 Circuit


Solar Panel
Increases the rate of energy recharge. 1 hp
2 Metal Sheet
4 Solar Cell

Metal Plate
Has 2 HP to absorb impacts from comets.
2 Metal Sheet
Ship inside addons
If a comet hits the ship and breaks the square that a item is on this will brak it. Also if there is a hull breach and a food plant has something on it that is ripe for picking it will get sucked out into space.

Plant Pot
Used to grow plants
5 Glass
3 BioMass

Power Station
Used to increase max amount by 20 of power ship can store up.
1 Metal Sheet
2 Circuits
2 Batteries.

Air Condenser
Used to increase max amount by 20 of oxygen ship can store.
1 Metal Sheet
5 Glass
1 Circuit
2 Compressor.
Energy use
Each solar panel increases how quickly the ship generates power, and each turrent and shield will slow down the rate that power is generated.

As of 1.0.14 update all the discriptions in the craft section tell you how much power it uses, stores, or generates.
Floating ships/Stations
Largest of the bases has 2 levels with 3 rooms on lower levels and 1 room on top. Has two ways in and one is always locked (have to hack) and the other doesn't.



This one has breathable air in it, has a few turrets and 2 rooms that are locked. The one is right infront of you and the other is up. There is tons of bio material in here.






Feedback
Ok everyone I am still learning this game also and not a pro gramer, I know there is a lot I am missing. Please let me know and I will add it and give you your credit. I also use a vive so not sure if any of the controls are different for the other systems.

Thank you everyone.

Turn the "body" option off, in graphics, it makes the controls less confused when pushing against something. I've learned not to play the game too long because it starts getting confused after an hour's play so i quit the game and reload it. I also dedicated a machine that loads nothing but the necessary software when playing. Anything else is a waste of memory.
