Hello fellow space kobolds!

This guide is going to be short and to the point.

Starting off grab every asteroid you can.

Expand the base.

Create chests in groups for usage.
Survival (food, O2, power),
Basic
Refined
Current Project (resources for whatever you are working on at the moment)
Upgrades

Get the Tractor Beam as soon as you can.

Focus your resource gathering to what you need for your next step.
Too much junk will clutter your base.

Work in stacks of resources rather than the used amount.
8 wires are nice but having a stack of 50 leaves you more to work with.
don't go overboard with too many stacks.

Make more O2 filters, food, and batteries when storage gets down to half.
Always carry at least one of each on you at all times.

Keep upgrading the Tractor Beam as soon as you can.

A couple points I would add to this list of tips:
1) Don't be afraid to expand the ships floor space a LOT. Use the Scanner and Tractor Beam for a minute or two to grab lots of the resources needed for floor pieces.
2) Have a dedicated crafter or smelter for each basic processed material and keep its inputs full as you collect them. When you use resources from your inventory stack, you can refill it by dragging from the crafters output onto the stack to fill it up to maximum and keeping the crafters inputs full will ensure you always have four full stacks ready to go when you need them.
