What is your Progression list when starting a new world?

[Seph64]

I am fairly new to this game, and I think I've progressed a good bit for the time I have been playing.

Though, I had to remake my world a couple times. And I've got a pretty good groove on with my current world.

My progression went something like this.

1. Gather food/water.
2. Make O2 Tank.
3. Tools: Scanner, Repair Tool, Habitat builder in that order.
4. Sea Glide
5. Went to Floating Island to scan the abandoned base and planters, gather melon seeds for sustance.
6. Build temporary base to setup shop (mainly food) til Cyclops.
7. Battery Charger
8. Make Mobile Vehicle Bay, then Sea Moth
9. Precursor Island to gather Diamonds and Lythium, make Laster Cutter.
10. Explore Aurora, repair drives, gather bluepring to PRAWN suit, get vehicle upgrade modules, in that order.
11. Found all parts for the Cyclops.
12. Went on a search for Power Cell Charger prior to building the Cyclops (failed)
13. Went on a mad farming spree to build the Cyclops.
14. The USS Endeavor has been remade (what I chose to name my Cyclops, mainly because looking for crap I find important is one heck of an endeavor).
15. Went searching for the Power Cell Charger, success and found 2/3 of the Nuclear Reactor and all of the Alien containment unit while I was at it. And the PRAWN Propulsion Canon too.
16 Put the Power Cell Charger on the USS Endeavor, no longer have to worry about Power Cell energy.
17. Scrapping my current base to move it elsewhere.

Which is where I am at right now. I am trying to figure out where to go for a more permanent base. I am thinking of putting it near the Grand Reef so I have an entry way to eventually visit the last abandoned base/the lost river. But what comes after building the base is finding the Moonpool fragments.

I am really enjoying this game.

I wrote down my normal course of action.

Of course, that was written a few updates ago, so is now out of date. I'd say have less emphasis on the shopping lists, and more on checking out the life pods, when I get round to rewriting it. I'm not doing that until release though.
