Upon starting a new game, you'll be prompted to create your character. Choose from seven distinct races: Apex, Avian, Floran, Glitch, Human, Hylotl, and Novakid. Each race has unique lore but no inherent gameplay advantages, so pick what appeals to you! After customization, you'll crash-land on your starter planet, equipped with a Matter Manipulator, a Broken Broadsword, and some basic supplies. Your first task is to gather wood and stone to craft a Stone Axe and Stone Pickaxe.
