I found an outpost with a technology merchant and collected some new blueprints for making a better home. Building my home next to the outpost is working out well, I usually get a parking spot on the outpost as well.. haha, would be funny if the owner of the outpost got mad at me. The nice thing about using an outpost parking spot is it does not take any booster fuel to get off the planet. I can probably build that into my own base but im pretty far from having that kind of technology so ill just use some one elses in the mean time. I take off and find a cactus patch and collect the flesh from it. Its good money and only takes a minute or two to collect a unit of it. No predators around and its not too bad on my thermal protection so it was an easy grab.
Found some large crystals to mine with the mining beam, those can be constructed into warp fuel eventually so its good to have alot of it. Taking off and heading in a different direction I found myself a large copper deposit. It was mostly above ground and an easy harvest of metals. Another good base material to have as it can be constructed into materials to repair broken machines found along the way.
