Tips?

[Nothing]

I've played the game for around 30 hours now, and I feel as if I have a fundamental lack of understanding of the game. For a few examples of what confuses me, is ramming into your enemies something you want to do or not, since it deals damage to you I've been avoiding it. Should you always try to get some constructs, is taking tier 1's of many trees a good idea since they most often provide a clear benefit but clutter up the upgrade pool for later and such. I'd appreciate any tips and tricks from experienced players, the concept of the game is very appealing to me but I feel like I can't get a solid grasp at it.

Ramming is build dependant. Depending of your hull and shield it might be more or less viable, there are fullon builds possible that focus completely on being a battering ram.

and constructs are the same, get them if you want to (or are done with the build you are planning to use and don'T know what else could do well).

oftentimes the choice of "do i get XYZ" depends fully on what type of build you want to go for.

Experiment with builds and especially try out the various super mods. Once you have a feel for what everything does, then you can more easily concentrate on the build you'd like to use for a particular run. As mentioned by Khaziir, what is good or bad largely depends on what build you're trying to use and your playstyle.

Yup thats the great thing, pretty much every question you had could be answered with: Yes, no and maybe/sometimes.

As already pointed out before, after playing a few runs and testing things its generally better to try and "make a build" instead of just picking things because they seem good because there are far more good things to pick than you have levels to pick things with.

I have over 1300 hours in this game, it has plenty of ways to do things and the more experience and knowledge you get in the game the more you see it open up with possibilities, previously "bad" upgrades can be very useful when combined with other things that enable you to do fun stuff.

The best general tips I can give is simply to keep experiment, there are literally too many tips on "how you could do things" that its kinda impossible to write it all down when it is so general like that. If you still want advice on something its better if you have at least something to limit the scope to what you want to do or have trouble with in terms of a build like

"Im not sure how to make the Bastion shield work, why/when should I use it?" or "I want to make a Railgun build to make things to BOOM". Much easier to help with stuff like that.

I would also recommend the Discord, its very active both with experienced players and newbies, plenty of people to get advice from or just show your latest run.
