Starbound - tips and tricks at a glance
Digging: As most commodities are underground, you need a pickaxe and an ax to quickly dig a path to resources beneath the floor. Use the trench both left as well as the right mouse button, just as you come close in on the front and rear area of the rocks.
Fuel: Your spaceship needs fuel to run. In the beginning you can find coal. On your home planet it is usually well hidden. So it is best to make wooden coal using burn timber in an oven. Later in the game you can find many other materials as fuel. If you travel in another solar system, then it cost you 200 fuel units but merely changes the planet within a solar system, then you don’t need to pay for it.

Clothing and cold protection: In Starbound there are numerous planets that also have all different climates, different vegetation and different atmospheres.

Starbound multiplayer: Tips and Tricks
If you choose to switch from single player to multiplayer, then you will loose usually a few already activated recipes and star charts. This is annoying, because you then have to summon again the boss monster and must accordingly make the star charts for the sectors to Beta X. Otherwise, you cannot travel there easily.
Your first goal in multiplayer is to find a planet. Often there is a base that is shared by several players. Often you don’t find this base on the planet on which you are just arrived. If you want to get to a certain place, then you can enter the coordinates in the navigation program at the front of your spaceship. For this you must choose the correct sector and click with the right until you can see all the solar systems.
