Player Tips

It is worth trying for some of the upgrades as soon as possible.

Recommended are:

-Drive Engine 1 (allows sustained flight, which is faster than walking, but consumes more energy)

-Mecha Core 1 (increases maximum mecha energy storage)

and

-Universe Exploration 1 (displays symbols for resources and their yields across the planet)

as these upgrades do not use matrices, but regular components.
