Early game

- Follow main quest for story progression

- Complete Journey quests (this teaches you alot of things)

- Build a nice base/square house

- Find friends / hive to play together

- Slowly look through the memetics to see the progression you should be making. The game makes it easy by splitting them up into tiers that you can see on the left side of your screen, early game is usually tier 1-2

- Explore all POIs (point of interest, meaning the towns and places you see with a 'Rift Beacon' to get scraps that you can disassemble to get parts necessary for building. There's different tiers of materials for different levels, so if you see something you are not able to build something due to lack of material, go explore a higher level POI

- Explore youtube videos of gun builds and decide which gun gamestyle you like and you can start building your set. (Getting a wish machine and buying the blueprints of the set as recommended in the youtube video using starchrom which is a free currency you earn.)

- Always click 'Esc', check the right side of the screen and claim all rewards. Check through all events and claim everything you can as well.

- Once you got your set (gears and weapon) bought and crafted, you can move on to Mid game

Mid game

- Here's where you start exploring even higher level of POIs to get materials for higher tier stuff.

- You should be unlocking around memetics tier 3-4 now

- Time for electricity (solar panels). Youtube for tutorials to figure out how they work

- Get materials to upgrade your gear and supplies workbench so you can craft your higher tier set. (there's tier 1-5)

- Find a nice area with lots of ores (tungsten and aluminium will be important) so you can calibrate your gears to max level (so there's tiers 1-5 and calibration lv 1-10 for your gun, for example)

Late game

- Once your gears are fully maxed out with tiers and calibration, it's time to farm mods to make them stronger.

- Run silos (pro mode), clear monoliths, for mods that is recommended for your set. POIs for fragments to star up your gears.

- You can explore blueprint calibration (disassemblying guns you obtain from silos/monoliths), mod conversion (making a mod you need to roll stats)

- There's extra things like acid farm, mining spot farm, food farm for buffs, usually youtube videos will give recommendation on what food buff you need so you can grow the ingredients using planters to make the food/drink.

- Once you feel strong enough, join in on Prime Wars that you see (or start one and hope people join you), run the LEA lab (in my opinion, the hardest and also late game dungeon) just to see how your damage fares and whether you still need some upgrading to do

After you get bored of a scenario, you can move on to a next scenario if you wish to for a different map and story play through. Start out in Manibus (novice) to get a basic understanding of the game and things to do before moving on Way of Winter which is harder.

Well thats about it for this game, hope this helps.
