The Onboarding tutorial teaches basic game mechanics at the start of the game. After the pioneer exits the drop-pod, they are asked by ADA to complete a series of objectives. In a multiplayer game, tutorial messages are shared. Only the host is required to complete the tutorial.

If Onboarding is skipped during the creation of a new game, the pioneer starts with these items in the inventory: 1x  Xeno-Zapper, 4x  Portable Miner, 129x  Iron Plate, 58x  Concrete, 60x  Iron Rod, 48x  Wire, 8x  Reinforced Iron Plate, 52x  Cable.

Trivia

• If Iron Ore is located then mined without using the Resource Scanner, that step will be ignored and ADA will inform to proceed to build The HUB.
• If Iron Ore is not mined but is obtained anyway (such as using Command or mods), then this step will also be skipped.
