Database / Materials
Resources Database
Search by material or recipe, identify the gathering interaction, and collect enough for the next tool before spending oxygen on a longer route.
Read the recipe first, then make one focused salvage run
Open the Encyclopedia, pin the material, carry the required tool, and leave enough oxygen for the return trip. Gather common Metal and Plastic nearby; reserve Aluminum, Wires, Titanium, and Electric Tape for confirmed progression needs.

Priority material
Aluminum is the first real crafting bottleneck
Craft the Thumper, exit into the Outskirts, and inspect the large floating asteroids rather than the small wreckage near the train. Mine identifiable orange-silver patches at close range. Fixed yield and respawn timing remain unverified.
Open the full route
Material existence and recipe use are verified. Generic location hints remain intentionally cautious unless a current-build route or screenshot is available.
