New to game - How do I get any other workbench?

[Wood_[OBC]]

Struggling to discover how to get tier2/3 stuff - keeps telling me I've unlocked things that I cannot craft. I'm guessing I need a tier 2 workbench/crafter of sorts? Can anyone point out a step by step tutorial? I've googled a few - and they all have a fully developed biome talking about stuff I haven't even unlocked yet.

Zero tutorial/direction on where to craft food - apparently cannot plant "food" seeds in the tier1 planters. It appears that is oxygen only.... I kinda need food... LOL!

Wants me to craft a heater with Iridium - I die exploring...

Finally get into wreckage - see crate in a corner but I need to crouch under some debris in the way - apparently cannot crouch....

Anyways - really looking for a step by step on how to play the game. tia

You need a food grower for the food, not the veggie tubes, I know it is misleading, we have been saying that forever, you will need the veggie tubes filled with plants to raise your 02 level to unlock the food grower.
Q is your crafting menu, it's broken up into sections, the second section, the very first thing is your crafter.
Trick to exploring, always carry 3 iron, 2 titanium, and 1 silcone. You can then create a habitat and door to refill your o2 (or just carry o2 caninsters), You can set up little outposts like that along the way, or you can deconstruct them after using it.
I know the exact crate you are talking about, you cant crouch, but you can get to it kinda, just move around a bit and eventually you will be able to click on it.
For a step by step, build what ever you can, wait till it raises your ti which will unlock better stuff, build it, rinse and repeat. It is actually a very simple game to play.

Try deconstructing the debris in your way.

You are dependent on space food that you find for quite a while. Eventually you can build a Food Grower and plant food seeds in it. You'll need two or three of the T1 version in order to have enough food to eat. You'll want to create as much oxygen as you can as fast as you can - the T1 Food Grower is unlocked by having enough oxygen in the atmosphere.

Food is the biggest strategic challenge. If you run out of space food and do not have food growers yet, you can continue but it is challenging. (Assuming you are not playing hardcore for your first run thru.) Whenever you die, you will respawn with some food.Just plan to die frequently while you search for more space food.

(The planters are for flowers to add plant mass for terraforming.)

Greybeard the chest she is talking about you cant deconstruct the obstacle in the way of it, but you can get to it just got to find the right spot to stand.
