I just dont understand this game at all

[Fearless ＜I°_°I＞]

What am I even supposed to do? Ive been following the quests and exploring, but it seems like ive only built a few drills on a few walls, and ive been able to sustain anything pretty easily. I keep exploring but it does seem like I went too far. All the zones are pretty small so I cant even build anything and there doesn't seem to be a point to build anything else right now.

I know im only 2 hours in, but I just dont understand it

Just wait. You will need to start drilling out areas to make more room for factories. Plus there is the story to follow. And your probably still at Lima, then there is Victor, then Xray just came out. You need alot of stuff to finish up the stations. It does get harder. Plus there are secrets and other areas to find.
Oh and there is also the tech tree to open new equipment and stuff.

One thing i also dont get, is for the planter i need the find parts, but ive looked around for like an hour and cant find anything about it.

As for building, should i even bother with the early zones or ill just abandon them to make a factory somewhere else?

It's meant to move from section to section. And as for planters you have to find alot fonthe parts first and scan them. Then you will be able to unlock in the tech tree then make yourself. Learn to use the map. It's wierd, but look for other pockets and areas to go to. The drill to them. I built my first big factory at Victor. As it's in the middle and you spend alot of time there.

ok so its normal for me not needing to make a factory right now. As for the planter, i know i need to scan something i just cant find it. Guess for now ill just go to the pings that the game gave me by placing crank gens and floors

Play how ever you want. This is my currant save. Maybe it will give you some ideas.

The signal you get for placing power floors from the chests at victor will lead you right to the Area with both the Threshers and Planters can be scanned, then it's just place on a power floor (after you make them) and add seeds...

What Fenix said. The game does a decent job of guiding you to the places you need to scan most technologies. I didn't really have an issue til I was trying to get all the hard drives unlocked at the very end game, and most of the missable techs weren't that big of a deal. The narrative is still incomplete so I imagine it will get better as they add more content.

The ones (hdds) that are hidden, while you don’t need them to proceed, their locations are a little too hard to find without looking them up.
They really should be moved next to a structure, not hidden behind rocks somewhere random on the map.
Both speed 2 and jump height (flight) 3 are fine, as they are near something.
Pack size 5, is up behind some rocks in a corner most people won’t even go there…

I was mostly confused as i was wondering when i needed to settle for a real big factory

I got so lost for a long time - the map is great but it really needs to show much more of the area around you.

It took me over 100 hours to get all achievements done. You can wing it with hand feeding the Assemblers, but my 2nd goal is to play it again with full automation in buildings with the NEW Concrete. This takes a lot of redo,or start over but now I know whats needed most - like research - fuel - etc. Be aware it can take a long,long time before you can optimize your setups - I hope the train can help me lol.
Also look for the chests in your map - green dots for bonus items. At the start you can see through the window a factory before you get the pick ax. After you get the scanner you should check it out how to dig there. It's a good start.
