I strongly encourage you to explore and discover yourself. That's the magic of this game. If you get truly stuck, you can search for any item you're missing on this wiki for guidance.

A couple beginner's tips (though, keep in mind, it's been over a year since I've played as I wanted the story to be fresh when the game launched):

-#1 priority is figure out how to get food and water when you need it.

-#2 in your fabricator, take a look at the tools section. I like to start here as it equips your person to do more. Pick what looks like the most useful and get busy making it. Then try to use it as best you can, then look for the next most useful one. Each tool unlocks more that you can do about your situation.

-#3  Take your time. This game is much more of an experience than a thing to be done.

Silicone rubber is something you make in the fabricator. Look under Basic Materials. If it isn't there yet, you need to explore more! The more you interact with your environment, the more data your PDA has and the more blueprints you gain.

Cave sulfur is an organic material from an aggressive species you can find in the caves around the lifepod.

Happy exploring!
