Balance resources! Energy, Water, and Oxygen are critical for survival. Mining resources (Iron, Silicon, Rare Earths) are needed for expansion.
Ensure colonists have food and entertainment (like habitat modules) to maximize productivity. Foundation: Discovering Worlds
Launch orbital scanners immediately to find mineral deposits (iron, silicon) and suitable water sources. Balance resources
Use scanners to map systems, identifying habitable planets, gas giants (for fuel), and asteroid fields. Balance resources! Energy
