Also if you get a scout drone while on Extinction and bring it back to the Island, you can use it there, since the scout takes element dust as fuel.

You can create custom food recipies by placing blank note in a cooking pot of any type. It will have "Make recipe" option appear.

Save it - element is very important to both make end game structures and gear, as well as power both (element gear generally requires power, too).

However, element dust is transferable between maps, while element itself is not, so don't make it into element until you can actually make things out of element, at which point, you probably won't need anyone else's advice by then.

BTW, 1000 element dust = 1 element, so you won't be disappointed by that.
