Your route
Check off steps as you play. This checklist is local to your browser.
Choose a location
Land safely and scan the surroundings. Account for weather, terrain, nearby resources and access back to the ship.
Pack the materials
Read the selected structure recipe and carry the needed resources. Keep space for anything recovered from nearby sites.
Build a shelter
Open B and choose the emergency shelter. Follow the placement preview; finish the placement with the shown action.
Add a purpose
Expand with storage, power, refining, fabrication, life support or creature pens as resources allow. The structure entries list their roles and recipes.
Use the interfaces
Interact with E and follow each structure’s actual service card. A base service does not waive recipe inputs or production requirements.
