How do I get refiner or pure ferrite AT THE START?

[Shame]

Launch thruster repairs requires pure ferrite. I am told it can be obtained from ferrite if refined. That requires a refiner. But WHERE do I find a refiner? I'm walking around in circles for about an hour now, collecting random ♥♥♥♥. And the mineral that DOES have pure ferrite is locked behind an advanced mining laser. Am I supposed to find a refiner? What do I do?

I too do not have a refiner bp.

Follow the tutuorial. It tells you step by step.

press Z and scroll to equipement and it should be under deployables. It requires a bit of resources for the first one you place. After that you can pick it up and take it with you. But these steps should be explained in the tutorial if you followed it though.

If you're in Survival or Permadeath, you won't get the blueprint for the refiner until you get to the ship and check the logs. That's the first point at which the game holds your hand, a little, before slapping your hand away again.

Oh yeah, thanks, that was very helpful! You should write the game's wiki like this! Best advice! Such awesome, much wow!

Wtf?! I don't remember being told to press "Z" at any point. The UI is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cluttered and everything just whizzes over me that I can't get my head around how much random nonsense is thrown me. But thanks, that helped!

Press P dude, that is the quest log. It really does help following that step by step. Like the other guy said a lot of the created stuff on the planets is through Z. I am just getting back into the game so I apologize I can't be more helpful.

stop whining and follow the instructions on screen. As you complete each stage of repairs enter your ship (like it's telling you to do) and the logs will update with your next step.

OMG why is everything a button?! X this, Z that, P this A and D this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥! Stop talking like this stuff should be obvious. I guess the game is pretty trash on the guidence front, as that hasn't been worked on, but please have some understanding from where I'm coming from.

I ask you; WHAT instructons? WHERE?

[N8mahr]

In the lower right corner of your screen.

Are you retarded or what if you can't remember like what 10 buttons do.

I assume the "guide" also tells me where to get a "Hermetic Seal" for the stupid pulse engine, because you need that for some reason just to launch. How dumb that they haven't removed the requirability for that just to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ launch.

10 individual buttons is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ huge. In another game, that's way more complex than this, you only have 8 buttons to use; Shift, Z, X, Space and arrow keys. ALL OF WHICH are told to you during the first time you play the game. Doesn't need huge tutorials to tell you that "to do this, you click this button". Like, why do I require X to add an item to the refiner, but require to just click to remove an item? Who thought this was a good idea?

Yes, but you need pure ferrit to BUILD the refinery, und you can't harvest it because you need an advanced harvester to do so, and I don't have the slightest idea how to get one ....

[Primal-Lust]

what do i need to make pure ferrite?

[N8mahr]

It actually does, it's step by step and you can not deviate from the guide or the tutorial will not continue. And you need to follow it by word, at least I had to, about half an hour ago.
