-Load order matters for multiple mods. This is the current working load order.

- You will have to place the water yourself. Don't go crazy with the depth or you'll be building submarines when you go to complete the story. I recommend only adding water to Earth and Alien, with a height of 1.0158 on Earth, and 1.017 on Alien. For help adding the water refer to the official guide and navigate to the "Server Settings" section.

- You must disable "AdvLift" in the Aerodynamic Physics mod, or you will only get one faction's ships spawning on planets. To do so, have an admin use Alt + F10, Then go to the top left "Mod Settings" --> Aerodynamic Physics --> Physics --> Advanced Lift. Set this value to "False"

1. If you just started the save, turn off AdvLift and add the water (if using manual setup)

2. If your landing location ends up in water, press backspace and find a new landing location.

3. Gather your bearings and look out for lower areas to locate water as soon as possible.

4. Use the food in the pod barrel for your first sustenance.

4 1/2.Cutting trees yields Logs Logs can either be made into Fire Wood for the Wood Furnace Generator, or made into planks. These planks are unaffected by the scrap mod and float in water. Very ideal for scaffolding and early floating craft.

5. Using the refining from your survival kit, setup an Assembling Bench either on your lander or on a new large grid. If you are using a large grid Bench you will need to setup 1-3 Wind Turbines. Keep in mind the current wind speed and your location's altitude will affect the output of your turbines. When constructing, remember you may want to connect the wind turbine grid to your landing pod. If you are having power troubles, a Wood Furnace Generator may be useful. Don't forget about the one pre-installed on your pod!

6. If you like your landing location, skip to step 9. If not, go to step 7.

7. Using metal wheels, turn your landing pod into a rover and begin surveying the area for a new location. A waterside base is recommended for easy access to unlimited ice for hydrogen. (Tip: A fully submerged and powered collector block will automatically collect ice.) If your survival kit is destroyed now it's game over so be careful.

8. Once you have located a new suitable location, return to step 5.

9. With the Assembling Bench, create the parts for a Smelter. Both small and large grid smelters use a decent amount of power. Connect your lander to the wind turbine grid, and/or stuff your Wood Furnace Generator with Fire Wood, and use your lander's Lithium Battery to even out the power delivery. You can also use Advanced Welding's grinder features & Weld Pads and a rotor to connect your lander's Lithium Battery directly to the large grid if you plan to just scrap your lander. If you don't feel like waiting for the battery to charge, Alkaline Batteries are a cheap option, however they cannot be recharged. Once they're depleted, the block should be completely scrapped and placed again

10. Unknown Signal airdrops will have valuable materials and small Acid batteries available, along with seeds and tools. This is the easiest source of early-game Acid power storage and low-to-mid-tier components. Use Advanced Welding's grinder features to remove the battery easier, and press "R" on a block/grid to pick it up.

11.This will be the longest step in this stage. Construct and equip a vehicle with a metal detector and seismic surveyor and begin searching the landscape for ore. Look for light or dark patches in the dirt to locate ores, or simply use the seismograph. All ores are useful at some point, but you must find Titanium and Coal to begin the next stage. Sometimes certain ores will feel difficult to find, but it is purely luck. Don't give up!

12. Construct a Refinery to process the higher tier ores. Remember to utilize batteries to balance out its high power draw. Yield and Speed modules are disabled and instead ores must be purified in the Rock Crusher and then Ore Purifier for 50% and 100% higher yields respectively. These extra refining steps are unnecessary in the early game, and eat up lots of power and room.

13. Construct a Coal Boiler and Steam Turbine. To prevent coal being wasted you will also need a Steam Buffer Tank. If you already found bauxite, you can make an event controller to auto-switch the Coal Boiler when the buffer tank fills & empties.

You will need to construct a plate stamp to make Titanium Plates for the Turbine. If you don't have Titanium for the plates, you can use a Coal Furnace for a cheap option with lower output and efficiency and low build cost. (Do not connect your turbine directly to a buffer tank. The script sometimes requires at least 1 pipe block between)

1. With Coal power acquired there is now 50MW of power at your disposal. Build up a stockpile of coal for your boiler and monitor your buffer tank until an event controller is installed to do it for you

2. Industrial Overhaul has numerous machines. Most of them you will need to make before you can assemble the full catalog of components. These machines will take a substantial amount of space, and vertical construction is recommended to keep things compact. Refer to The Official IO Guide for what machines to build for what and when.

3. At this point your freedom of choice begins to open up a bit as you gain access to more components and ores. Don't forget about Trade Stations, as they can be used to purchase ships, tools, foods, and high-tier components you don't have access to yet, like Lithium Power Cells

4. To begin locating the ancient temples you can rarely find datapads from old explorers in the storages of other factions. Trade Stations are a great place to start. Each temple will usually have a location to another temple hidden somewhere inside separate from the artifact.

5. Once you have caught the scent you can follow the trail out to space and other planets. To begin the next stage, gather lake ice and construct a Bio Lab (misspelled "Bio Labor" ingame).

1. Space in this pack is an unforgiving and harsh place. Oxygen is now a valuable resource and dangerous enemies lurk in the shadows

2. Use your Bio Lab from the end of Stage 2 to make Algae Samples out of Lake Ice. With these samples in an Algae Farm you can generate large amounts of samples over time. These samples can either be put into a composter to create Organic (used for food items) or put back into the Bio Lab to create Photosynthesizing Algae Containers for Algaebased O2 farms. Vanilla O2 farms are still an option, but Algae O2 Farms are far better. Later on you can make Algaebased H2 Farms when you have obtained Alien Lake Ice

3. If you already located Oil Sand you may have been producing fuel(s). Using the separate machines, You can process the OilSand into either Gasoline or Rocket Fuel. The machines for this process are quite large and power-hungry, so be prepared
-Rocket Fuel is a more powerful and more efficient thruster fuel
-Gasoline is an energy-dense fuel used in Gasoline engines to generate large amounts of power.

4. Create your first ship with at minimum one oxygen tank. If you plan on an extended space visit then you will need additional O2 tanks or a gas generator. Remember the generator power requirement is greatly increased so it will cost lots of power to generate O2 from ice in space

5. The moon is the only source of the shiny liquid metal Cesium used in many Ion-based and/or Energy Shield systems. There is also trace amounts of Tantalum and Platinum scattered across the surface. This complete's the catalogue of basic materials, but other more-valuable ores still lie in wait on other planets

1. To better understand the Mission ahead, refer to the Endgame Expansion guide to understand what each exotic material's location and uses are. You can launch missions to the story temples along-the-way, or collect all the materials and then rush to all the temples at once

2. Asteroids no longer have ores like uranium, platinum, or tantalum. Instead, low and mid-level ores can be found in massive abundance. If you want high-level ores like tantalum, you will have to source it from whichever planets/moons it is found on. Exotics will not be found in space, and each planet will have its own unique exotic tier ore

3. Beware the factions that reside in space. Drones can be seen patrolling around asteroids looking for intruders, and the Mercenaries are always on the hunt for fresh meat. Other threats lurk in space as well...

1. You have now probably obtained some of every material in the game. At this point it is a matter of expanding your logistical capabilities and launching further-and-further missions from your home station to complete the main objective

2. There is, unfortunately, nothing particularly interesting that happens when all of the artifacts are collected. Be sure you save the game before collecting the last one, as it will start end-game credits and then send you to the main menu.

3. Once you have found all of the artifacts you have completed the main objective! Further gameplay is all up to you. Build a station on every planet & moon? Establish a space base or three? Maybe take on some Factorum? It's all up to you
