What about a vehicle with a buildable platform, so you can drive your base to the resources?  Haha!

Make all your energy plants out of the Nuclear Reactor T2.  Save the Zeolite for trees.  Launch many of the boost rockets, as they stack.  Get the Ore Extractor T2 to mine Super Alloy or Aluminum (and make your own Alloy).  Get all the Blueprint Microchip things unlocked.  (Jetpack T3 is the final one, I think?  Or some habitat things?).  Check out this cool map.  https://map.fistshake.net/PlanetCrafter/  If you navigate to your "C:\Users\<your user name here>\AppData\LocalLow\MijuGames\Planet Crafter", and drag and drop the Survival-#.json file onto the map, it'll show you all your containers, and even a rocket icon, which if you click, shows how many boost rockets you have.  If you get 3 or more of each Heat, Pressure, Oxygen, and Biomass, then you will start going up pretty fast, once you get all the seeds, convert them all to tree seeds, get the Tree Spreader T1, T2, and T3 going.  Get the item destructor blueprint unlocked to break Pulsar Quartz into constituent components to get the Zeolite and make more tree spreaders.  Before you can do that, make sure you have a big area for 30-40 Nuclear Reactor T2s.  Set up 2 x Ore Extractor T2 in the Uranium cave and start farming those and Super Alloy, going for Iridium and Sulfur as needed to make Explosive Powder.  If you get to 10-15GW/h (10.000-15.000kW/h) power generation, then you should be in good shape.  Get at least 4, maybe 5-6 Algae Spreader T2 going in deep water, stacking/overlapping seems fine.  Get the lake AND Atmospheric water collector thingies, sometimes you need it.  Make at least one, possibly 2 gas extractors.  Make 4x Squash and 8x Eggplant growing in Food Grower T2 (and 2-4 Green Bean and 2-4 Mushroom if needed).  You'll be so busy chasing stuff around, you'll never seem to catch up and hit 600 GTi before you know it.

What video card, CPU, RAM, OS, game settings?  I'm using a 12 year old EVGA 480 GTX on an AMD FX 8350 with 32 GB DDR3 RAM and Windows 10, with lowest quality game settings.  The lowest quality is fine for me, the game still looks great and runs pretty smooth, except during heavy rains, then I stutter badly and can barely move.  As your post is 3 months old, and there have been several updates, would you be willing to try again and see if the results are any different?

It's $19.99 on Steam now.  If you are lucky and it shows up in your discovery queue, you have roughly 1 to 1.5 hours to buy it at 10% off for around $17.99.  I had intended to do this, but played the free game demo version for a half hour first.  Something went wrong with a page reload, and the discount disappeared.  I bought the game anyways. Though it is disappointing that the glitch cost $2.  It's not a lot, and I am still happy to support the developer.  Edit: Fixed typos.

Hey @Simplic, I see you were tolled by someone else who also trolled me.  I just thought I'd give a friendlier response.  I see this comment is about 5 months old.  But in a Steam News post on the game this past week, the developer stated no current plans to add multiplayer.  The reason and rationale and decision is to focus on quality and content development to reach a full version 1.0 release.  After that time, they are open to considering adding new features like multiplayer or world generation.  If they try to add a complex feature like multiplayer right now, it would mean stalling content creation, game play, and might disappoint people like me who paid for early access.  If it were my game, I might have made a different decision to include multiplayer from the beginning.  But it's fine, either way, it's their decision and their right to make it.  I support the developer, and other likeminded players who are just here to enjoy a game without pointless insults.  :)

@gigabenga Take your troll comments and privileged perspective elsewhere.  My comments are specifically about MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS.  The game runs fine on stated card and settings.  Get over yourself and your elitist attitude.  Sociopathic people like you destroy communities.

More detailed system requirements, such as specific minimum video card model that will technically run the game.  I have an old card, it runs most games, but some newer games can't run on the card.  Can't do an upgrade right now.  Trying demo to see.  Edit: Followup note, the game runs ok on my card that is below the listed minimum specs, using the lowest quality settings at 1920x1200.  It could probably do medium settings.  But at Ultra or Maximum, the games runs way too slow to be playable, at 5-ish FPS.  But even on the lowest setting, the card runs hot at 80°C with maximum fan RPM.  So the card will probably burn out after a few months of that.  But I'd say it still counts as a suscess for "Minimum Requirements".  EVGA GeForce 480 GTX with 1.5 GB GDDR5 RAM.  This old card is legend.  Edit 2: And now I own a copy in my game library.  Have fun developing the game, and playing.
