I can't work out how to warp out of my first system now lol 😄
I've only got 80% of my warp cells though so I guess I need another one?
Can't remember how I get the antimatter now. You go into orbit and scan, don't you? I manage to lose one piece somehow, can't remember what happened now. I got one piece from the shop on the space station at one point.
I'll try scanning in orbit around some planets tomorrow and see what happens.

No, it only needs power if you want to teleport out from your base. I wouldn’t get too invested in your home planet base... find a nice planet with a non-hazardous environment, and build a new base beside a small outpost. Then you can walk around without worrying about your exosuit, and you’ve got a trade terminal right there.Ok, thanks again. My home planet has a very moderate climate and resources are easy to come by. So far I've made about 3 million by digging up buried technology modules and selling them on the adjacent space station.That's a great idea about building next to a trading post. I'll do this.Come to think of it, if the planet I started on where I had to repair my ship is my 'home' planet, then that's not actually where my base is. It's on a different planet where I began to set up a base with a base computer. It doesn't wear down my exosuit when I'm moving around.

If you have a nice home planet and have researched metal buildings and solar power/batteries you can build a trade terminal in your base. Once you get a freighter a trade terminal can be built in it also.

For the first warp, they give you antimatter as part of the main quest (you have to craft an antimatter housing out of common materials, then craft a warp cell from the housing plus the antimatter). For the second one, they give you the blueprint so you can make your own antimatter. It’s really worth following the main quest until you reach the anomaly. It’s basically a long tutorial that opens up all the game systems.
If you’ve got 80% in your warp drive, you can probably make a jump. Just open the galactic map from the Quick Menu on your left hand when you’re in space, and you should be able to choose the next star system to warp to.

A few things to consider whilst you journey through the stars/planets.
ancient bones are a nice resource for extra $, scan a planet from space, if it states ancient bones then land on the planet and go dig some up. range from 80k to 2m depending on rarity.
Radiated/Super critical planets... Storm Crystal during a storm.. if you need a big cash injection stick some radiation protection on your exosuit and go farm them, better still is; once on a storm/extreme planet, create a small base so you can TP to it whenever you need some cash. fill your inventory and sell them all at once at a station as the price will change downward rapidly at that station.
Larvel cores, you will find these around abandoned buildings. you can either sell them for quite a bit or stick them in a refiner (i do this always). use the terrain manipulator to build a tunnel under each set of eggs, go down the tunnel and destroy the eggs from underneath, the cores will roll to your feet to pick up whilst you are away from any danger.
"digging up buried technology modules and selling them", whilst OK money, not great, you are better off using these for releasing your construction parts.
Manufacturing facilities - you can get blueprints for crafting rare trade-able items here, massive money. millions per hour once a farm is setup to produce the products to craft the item to be sold. You will need to shoot your way into the building and answer a question at the terminal for a random tradeprint, get the right print or a couple of the right ones and you will never worry about money again.
if settling in one place with your base then research Electro magnetic generators and the survey device, free endless power, i have 20 connected biodiomes all powered like this. just run through and reap the rewards whenever i return to the base.
My home planet is as bleak as bleak can be.. just rocks, mountains and the odd blade of grass.
hope this helps someone.

Yup, I've done all that but when I leave that screen, go back to my ship and have a look around I can't see anything. I was expecting to see a similar red icon or something. I must be missing something somewhere. That's why I thought I needed 100% to jump into hyperspace because I couldn't find an icon anywhere.
