Player Tips
1) It is worth trying for some of the upgrades as soon as possible. Notably, some of the earliest upgrades do not use Matrices, but regular components. Recommended are: Drive Engine 1 (allows sustained flight), Mecha Core 1 (increased Mecha energy storage) and Universe Exploration 1 (Can see symbols for ore veins all around the planet)
