Darkness stirs on the rim. Survive flesh infestations, cultist attacks, shambling undead, blood rains, invisible hunters, and other sanity-shredding perils. Capture and study entities to harness the power of the void. Conduct psychic rituals and awaken an evil machine god.

What you want to do is try to get the long range mineral scanner and drop pods quickly, scan for components, and then drop pod in your miners with some supplies, maybe an animal to carry stuff, mine out the resource node and then travel back home with the goodies.
