Part 1. Genesis and Calypso Gateway - your first day

If you have already left Calypso Gateway then skip to part 2.

When you start this game you are put in the Genesis terminal area. There are
six NPC's {Non-Player Characters} there to talk to and learn the basics. The 6
NPC's all have little yellow planet symbols over their head and appear as
orange dots on your radar. When you have learned all you can and tried out all
the varieties of clothing in Genesis go over to the Teleporter to be
transported to Calypso Gateway Island.

On the Calypso Gateway island try to do all the missions here, because once you
leave the island you can never go back.

I'll leave you to explore on your own, but here are a few tips:

1. Visit all ten NPC's and gather all the missions before you start any of them. 
2. Don't hunt or mine more than the mission requires, or your tools and weapons will wear out and you may not be able to do the next mission. When you finish all the missions then you can go blow your left over ammo and bombs. 
3. Click on the Quest/Missions Log icon on your screen to check your progress.
