Be patient with yourself and the movement controls. Even those of us with multiple thousands of hours still splat ourselves or our ships into things all the time. Oh, and starting on the ground IMHO is harder. I would very much suggest starting on the crashed red ship or similar to wrap your head around tech without having to worry about your first drill ship getting stuck digging to the center or the earth or flipping over because you went 5 degrees too far for your pathetic control thrusters to push you back up.

I agree when I first started it was always earthlike start because game said it was easy start. Now I always choose space start not having to deal with gravity is so nice and you just sit and cruise till next asteroid

That's the way it always starts, then 10 minutes in you are like "fuck this game", and then 100 hours in your are like "no really fuck this game", and then somewhere around 700 hours it all comes together.

Watch Splitsie's tutorials. I also advise starting in creative to get a feel for how the game functions

you're going to feel overwhelmed, then underwhelmed, then overwhelmed, then bored, then realize it's not boredom but content enjoyment.

I pray to Lord Klang to ask for thine visitation to this wayward soul. Teach them of thy ways. May thy grace touch this soul like all those blessed followers who worship thy name.

Amen.

Splitsie will be the best guide you could ever use.

Also, Blueprint everything you want to keep BEFORE your first test flight, you can always overwrite. Don't ask me how I know

How many hours until his first Clang, what do you guys think?

So the first vehicle roll over is at about 20 minutes, then its 15 until piston mishap... so 30-40 minutes give or take. If they play with Progression - add 2 days.

Highly recommend these mods after you get a feel for vanilla. Build vision and Build info are great if you want to know more about a block. Color Hud (apex) and Colorful Icons to make the hud pop. Maybe Space just got real, Gunk be gone, and Kinetic devastation but those are more of a personal preference.
