Harvesting Resources
To gather the resources needed to assemble tools more advanced than those supplied to you when you arrive on a planet surface, you must glean them from the wilderness using the array of harvesting tools you begin with.
These materials might be minerals, metals, organic materials or energy and each can be harvested with one of your harvesting tools. Always EXAMINE an item to see the commands you can use with it. You need to WIELD the tool in your special weapon slot. You can then SCAN with the tool to see which resources are available. CONFIGURE the tool to harvest the resource you'd like, if it's present, and finally you can HARVEST to gather that resource from the environment.
If you lose your harvesting tools, you can always buy another set from central complex alpha.
