Don't forget the bases. YOU CAN MAKE BASES!!!!

;)

Kidding aside, Narcogen and I are doing exactly that; trying the new modes, seeing who can get off the planet first without dying, that sort of thing.

Glad they are working on it adding new things. Just is unfortunate that they could not delay the launch so this would be everyone's real first impressions of the game.

Protip: When exploring on the surface and you're going to die, quickly send as much of your inventory to your spaceship as you can. You only lose what you were carrying at the time. Similarly, whenever in space put as much of your inventory on your character rather than in your ship. You only lose the stuff in your ship if your ship gets blown up.

Also, wow, if you got off your planet without dying you deserve a medal. I died around 8 or 10 times before I finally found enough zinc to repair my engines.
