1. Grab the Iron Frames from construction crate 1 by clicking on the lid and letting it open
2. Find a place where the blocks don't clip too much into the ground and place a 2x2 or a 3x3
   1. You can create stairs later, so it's okay if your block is not placed too well right now
   2. You can also deconstruct everything easily later on, only expending battery charge in the process
3. Put the Iron Frames back and grab the Iron Sheets
4. Switch to your free hand using E
   1. Open your tool belt by hitting 5
   2. Highlight the Welder and press F to move it to your active / empty hand
   3. Press O or R, R, then F to turn the torch on
   4. Hover over the frame until prompted to construct the frame, then left click and hold
   5. You only need to build the first level to be able to walk on it, the second level is considered airtight
   6. Turn off the Welding Torch when you're done, otherwise it will stay on in your belt and either blow up or run out of fuel
5. Put the Iron Frames and Iron Sheets back in the crate
6. Grab the Kit (Solar Panel) from construction crate 1 and place it on your platform
   1. You will need to finish constructing it by holding a Glass Panels in your hand and hold down left mouse button while it constructs
   2. You can use the Wrench from your Tool Belt to rotate the Solar Panel
   3. The top parts are for vertical orientation, the base of the solar panel can be rotated for horizontal positioning
   4. If you see the sun, make the panel face it! You ca see its current generation by hovering over the structure
7. Grab the Area Power Controller from construction crate 1
   1. Place it on the frames and open it with the Crowbar
   2. Grab the empty Battery Cell (Large) from construction crate 2 and place it inside the Area Power Controller
   3. The switch starts in "Off" - make sure to turn it on!
   4. If the light is blinking red - you're running on battery power
   5. If the light is blinking blue - you're charging the battery power from external sources (ex: Solar Panel, Solid Generator, Battery)
   • Do not connect the input (raw power) and output from the ACS - you will cause a short circuit!
8. Switch back to the Tool Belt and put the Cables in a free hand
   1. Use the mouse wheel to change the shape and delete, insert, home, end, pgup, pgdown to rotate
   2. You can use the Cable Cutters to "pick up" bad placement
9. When your battery runs low, switch it with the battery in the ACS, if you do this early enough in the solar day and track the sun, then the battery should be high or full charge by the end of the day
