Stationeers throws you onto a hostile world with a space suit and not much else. It’s famously deep, but your first hour comes down to a few priorities. This guide gives you the order to do them in so you survive long enough to enjoy the engineering.<\/p>\n

1. Watch your suit<\/h2>\n

Your suit keeps you alive \u2014 track your oxygen filter, waste (CO₂) filter and battery<\/strong>. Refill air from a tank and swap filters before they clog. Most early deaths are simply running out of suit air while distracted by building, so keep an eye on those gauges and carry spare filters and a full air canister.<\/p>\n

2. Build a sealed starter room<\/h2>\n

Place a small sealed room with frames, walls and a door \u2014 ideally an airlock<\/strong>. This becomes your safe space to take your helmet off, once<\/em> it has breathable air. Don’t go big yet; a small 2×2 is plenty to start, and a small room is far easier to pressurise and heat than a sprawling base.<\/p>\n

3. Get power online<\/h2>\n

Set up a couple of solar panels and a battery<\/strong>, wired with cable. Even basic power lets you run a light, an air conditioner and the machines you’ll need next. See the power guide<\/a> \u2014 power comes before atmospherics because most atmospherics gear needs it.<\/p>\n

4. Make breathable air<\/h2>\n

Use a tank or a basic atmospherics setup to fill your sealed room with a survivable oxygen mix at a comfortable temperature<\/strong>, then check it with a Gas Sensor<\/strong> before you remove your helmet. The atmospherics guide<\/a> walks through the full process.<\/p>\n

5. Then expand<\/h2>\n

With air, power and a safe room secured, you can branch into mining, smelting, farming and IC10 automation at your own pace. The depth is the point \u2014 take it one system at a time rather than trying to do everything at once.<\/p>\n

Playing with friends is the best way to learn. Start a Stationeers server from $8.50\/month<\/strong><\/a> and build together \u2014 30% off with XGAMEON<\/strong>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
