Onboarding

"Objective-based introduction initialized. Welcome to: Onboarding."

- ADA

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, 1x , 4x , 129x , 58x , 60x , 48x , 8x , 52x.

All the objectives are listed below in order.
 * 1) Dismantle  the Drop-pod with the Build Gun.

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.
