It's pretty unforgiving at the start! Kept dying due to radiation/toxicity before I even knew what was going on. Reached the point now where my ship is fixed up and ready to go into space, but I want to hang about a bit and gather more resources before leaving. Can I fly around the planet in my ship, or would taking off just start a sequence where I jump to another? I can see some resource deposits but at the moment they're too far to walk to and get back to my ship before my environmental protection depletes.
I started exploring caves a bit more, kept coming across vortex cubes so built up around 800,000 credits mostly from selling those and stacks of mined cobalt, along with a few artifacts, although I forced myself to stop hoarding and also sold off anything that wasn't frequently needed to refuel something I use a lot. Followed the story line to leave the planet and follow the distress signal. The second planet is much nicer, no environmental protection needed. Got the terrain manipulation add-on and it's so much fun. Dug myself a cave to shelter from a storm!
I think I'm just going to follow the story a bit more so things open up.
