Explore, and Exploit! Start off with nothing, and explore your home planet with millions of square kilometers to explore! Exploit the natural resources of certain biomes to advance your cosmorist, and being better prepared to deal with more unwelcoming biomes with even more advanced resources! Unlock crafting recipes via a tech tree, overcome less welcoming biomes with upgraded weapons, and repair a broken spaceship to expand to the planets. Be careful on what you bring with you on the spaceship, as the more mass you bring, the more fuel is needed to take off from the planet. It'll be even harder if the planet has strong gravity!
Once you're in space, you have the ability to explore other planets, and when landing on a new planet, it brings new challenges to your cosmorist because of the lack of items that you brought due to the weight system! Overcome these challenges by exploring, and exploiting!
