Crafting Efficiency
Experiment with different junk combinations to discover the most reliable duct‑tape substitutes. Record which recipes yield functional tools for later expeditions.
- Seek out resource‑rich planets early to stockpile crafting materials.
- Experiment with combining junk items for unexpected tools.

Exploration Route Planning
Map out procedural world features after a few runs. Look for patterns in resource clusters to plan efficient routes that maximize material collection.
- Allocate occasional leisure items to boost morale.
- Address conflicts quickly before they escalate.
05 / THE GUIDE
Controller vs Keyboard
Play identical scenarios using both input methods. Observe any speed or precision differences, then choose the setup that best supports rapid decision‑making.
