Survival
So, you want to survive in space? Well, you can't. But at least you can attempt that on planets.
Food
Nothing can live without an energy source. Being well-fed gives you health regeneration.
Who eats what?
Humans eat plants and meat - that makes them omnivores.
Floran eat meat - that makes them carnivores.
Robots eat robot... food. That makes them... robotic.
Some races can eat processed radioactive isotopes like Uranium Rods.
Some races can't eat anything but plants, making them herbivores.
And anything not covered in the above categories usually have a note indicating as much on their species page in the tricorder and on the wiki here.
Getting food
Starving is no joke - if you can't hear the constant beeping noise, it might be too late to eat once you find out why your health is quickly disappearing. Those who are of omnivorous races should look at the entire section below, while those who have more specialized diets can gloss over some parts of it.
Carnivores: Invest in a Hunting weapon. They're mostly cheap to make and deal physical damage, but they increase the chances of getting meat and Leather from creatures killed with their help.
In general: Craft a Campfire to cook your raw food. It's usually more nutritious and lasts longer when cooked.
Herbivores: Farming is a great way to get lots of food. Everything can eat Compressed Algae in a pinch, so grow a ton of Algae.
