What is confirmed for the Early Access launch build?

Confirmed core loop

Official descriptions consistently frame the game around exploring space, scavenging resources, learning blueprints, crafting tools and equipment, and upgrading the suit. Oxygen and environmental temperature remain survival pressures.

• Scavenge and gather resources
• Learn blueprints and craft equipment
• Upgrade gear and the spacesuit
• Manage oxygen and temperature
• Repair or dismantle machinery

Combat and objectives

The developer also lists armor, combat, quests, collectibles, achievements, eating, breathing, and physical interactions among the launch foundations. Exact balance, item values, and optimal routes are not yet verified, so this site does not publish them as facts.

World structure

Developer updates describe the initial exploration area as denser than the huge, sparse distances associated with the first game. That is a stated design direction, not a measured player verdict.
