Build a projector and load it with a blueprint. Then get to welding.
Later, automate the process.
Save yourself a headache and get the Twin Welders mod when you do the latter, as they have a much larger area of effect.
Also, make sure you enable oxygen in the savegame settings (accessed from the Load Game menu), and that there are conveyors linked from the oxygen tank to your cockpit.

Don't try to build anything but turrets early on. That gives you free parts by way of drone, and keeps your poo poo safe and sorted. I don't do anything on new starts until there are 5 turrets between my base and the pirate base.
Keep the provided mining ship. It's hella bad, but actually functional, and will allow you to mine those first few scoops of all materials that will get you to experimenting and building a proper vessel and docking cradle for it.
(My current design is one that has it's mining parts facing down, and simply lowers itself into the ground like some sort of reverse chicken, and has circular docking cradle with a hole in the middle to accommodate it.)
Once you have a mining design you like, stock up some materials and parts, take the starter mining ship and make a hole in a mountain somewhere. Move your base there, leave a few turrets out the front of the hole and laugh at all the free stuff delivered to your door, then cry when you have to go mountaineering to get it all.

I haven't played this game since before planets, but I decided to try out the planets.
Started survival on the earth like planet, barely 10fps, the steady steam of drones start messing up my single turret, I manage to dig up a handful of resources, either the conveyer system isn't set up right or I can't figure out how it works, keeping the one turret repaired is a full time job since I have to manually move poo poo between the refinery, my inventory, and the assembler, I can't seem to salvage anything from drone wrecks except iron, turret eventually dies. I decide to try attacking instead. Only 6 minutes of fuel, shot down on the first pass over, ejected, turned on jetpack and dampeners, didn't slow down in the least and died. I give planets a 2/10.
The spiders are okay looking I guess.

Do you have a conveyor block somewhere in that setup? You just need one to run a whole connected conveyor system, but the conveyor block itself gets overlooked a lot.

I didn't build it, it was the started base from the first custom world. One would assume it came with a functioning conveyor system, but maybe that's assuming too much.

It does, but it's also a bit fragile and they assume you're psychic and will instantly build a load of defences to shoot down the constant stream of drones. The drone bullets regularly clip through the edge of armour blocks to knock out the cargo pods and conveyor systems on the exterior walls of the base. The standard base turrets are also insufficient to stop more than a handful of drones before you've taken annoying levels of damage, but you should be able to build a couple more with the starting resources if you want to put up with that poo poo.
The best way to play on planets is the solar system map with three planets, three moons. Instead of an overly complicated megabase you start with an orbital lander with roughly the minimum you need to get going. There are no pirate outposts (as far as I'm aware - all the non-space maps aren't procedural) but you can still have cyberwolves/spiders/passing ai/etc. First order of business is to build a rover and mine a couple of packs of each material, then start building a proper base on your own terms - you may wish to edit the save settings until you've got this far before enabling the various hazards, having no way to defend your base whilst you're initially not at it is a pain.

I couldn't find any actual starting material, which was surprising. My inventory had only tools, and the entire base inventory had only fuel and bullets. There's some nearby deposits underground, but that was it.

What I did for a "Clean Start" with pirates was load an Alien Easy Start and break the base's med bay. Then, I just take my helmet off/kill myself and respawn in the atmo lander over Earth. This gets me all of the pirate outposts to find without the huge starter base and I can start where I want. The starter base is left for you to "find" once you go interplanetary.

Summary
Hello Engineers! Today's update brings more important bug fixes and improvements - configurable block limits & performance warnings were added to the game, primarily to help server admins maintain their servers more easily. These limits can be set up in the server configurator for dedicated servers, or in world settings for singleplayer and multiplayer. Another addition is improved NPC pathfinding for wolves and sabiroids.
We’ve also got another Dev diary - this time we are revealing the upcoming visual scripting tool. One of our level designers, Jochem, will try to show you how designers are utilizing this new tool. We have no doubts that our community will be able to create some amazing scenarios when the visual scripting releases. In the meantime, our designers will continue to help improve the tool by requesting new features and reporting issues.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Prr9i0rSTIc
Features
- Configurable block limits & Performance warnings (Guide: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=767867448 )
- New NPC (Sabiroids and wolves) Pathfinding system (using Recast&Detour)
Bugfixes
- improved camera tilting and moving with astronaut
- improved issue with camera yaw changing when swapping between spectator and first person camera
- improved fire particles
- fixed rifle scoped in bug where you would stay scoped in with tools after using the rifle
- fixed blueprints sometimes switching between two places for no reason
- fixed decal on damaged medical stations
- removed un-ended lines in dedicated server log
- removed Armor Slope that was displayed twice in G-Screen
- removed Conveyor Tube that was displayed twice in G-Screen
- fixed issue with realistic warhead sound not being played
- fixed air tight hangar door sound in depreressurized mode
- fixed collision sounds in realistic mode with ships and grids crashing into voxel
It doesn't make it quite clear if you don't watch the video, but the block limits feature is something you set in the word settings. It won't allow ships larger than X blocks, with separate limits for Large and Small-Block ships.
Also how do you make a starfighter faster? Stick more engines on it! 
It still has the hydrogen booster rocket between the thrusters, it's just hidden in the hull now.

Summary
Hello Engineers! This week’s update brings you more parallelization improvements. Grid loading is now processed asynchronously, which translates into less freezing when copying/pasting grids and while spawning cargo ships and drones. It also significantly reduces load times.
As a small tweak to weapon balancing, we’ve added a short reload time to automated Gatling turrets so they will not fire continuously, but rather reload after 140 rounds. Bugs fixed this week include sliding doors and normal doors not being able to be grouped together, first person perspective clipping when using rifles, and jetpacks deactivating when reloading a world in a cockpit. Lastly, all duplicates in the G-Screen should be cleaned up.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ECm2x9lCoE
Features
- Parallelization (Loading of grids is now processed asynchronously. This translates into less freezing during copying & pasting grids or during spawning of cargo ships, drones and using blueprints. It also significantly reduces loading times.)
- GitHub source code updated
Fixes
- added reload time to automated Gatling turrets.
- cleaned up the G-Screen by removing duplicates
- fixed sliding door and door cannot be grouped
- fixed the rendering issue when copying grid and being in bounding box of pasted grid
- fixed rifle clipping
- fixed collision detection problem for refinery build models
- fixed atmospheric thrusters creating a fake mounting point
- fixed jetpack deactivating when reloading game in-cockpit
- fixed FOV issues when deleting a jump-driving ship
- fixed drill disappearing in survival
- fixed connectors not connecting to each other
- fixed myMechanicalConnectionBlockBase issues
- fixed rebinding "Hold to look around" to another key disabling camera zoom
- fixed despawning of looted wolves closing any open inventory screen
- fixed missile turrets aiming (damaging nearby grids or trying to shoot through grids)
- fixed max. building boundaries not being shown after CTRL+V
- fixed damaged beacon particles staying at original spot
- fixed window on cockpit detaching after removing block from same grid
- fixed decal related crash in heavily modded worlds
At least they're finally putting some work into parallelization, because goddamn is that a bottleneck they should've sorted months ago.
MP is super broken this week, at least on planets and Stable version.
Phantom forces on everything, meteor showers every 30 seconds, then stations stuck in the ground just decided to start throwing a rave and murder everyone on it.
All fixed a week or two back in the Dev build iirc.
Regular starfighter...
 
New ejectable reinforced-armor frame. With Little David cannons to go boop big Large Block ships with.

It's probably almost a direct result of Xov's stream the other night where a bunch of people dead a Battlefield like deathmatch, with auto-respawning grids and such (it was pretty fun, but was really only stable in a 4v4 setup). The turret reload time was a direct result of that too.
The auto-spawning grid thing Draygo-somethingorother came up with is kinda neat, and I am thinking of a space based DM map using it.

So I've come back to check out SE and they've changed a TON of stuff like how you can mousewheel through block selection and all kinds of odd things.
One thing that's driving me up the wall is that you apparently can't zoom out any in 3rd person view anymore? I read somewhere somebody said they changed it to holding down ALT and using the mousewheel but that doesn't seem to work. So how do I do it?

Ok so whatever is up with zoom seems to affect others as well. No matter what I do it's busted.
Anyways I can work around it.
So I'm planning to start a new survival game and had a plan I was hoping for some advice / help with.
My plan is to go through the solar system and setup various pirate stations so I'll have something to fight. In addition I was going to use the Exploration Enhancement mod to add extra stuff as well. Finally I was planning to design a couple of semi-custom pirate stations (basically various blueprints I've downloaded) and have them populate various parts of planets / moons / space. Now the downside is that it pretty much means they'll only spawn the standard pirate drones. I was wondering if anyone knew how to add some custom drones, like if they could point to a script or something, however Keen makes their drones work. I know it requires going into the system folder and adding these ships to the spawn files or something. Anyone have any advice or ideas on what to do overall? Anywhere I could maybe download somebody's pre-made NPC spawns that add stuff to the existing pirate spawn groups?

Hello Engineers!
It seems that we wont be able to push the Space Engineers update today due to unexpected technical issues. We are really sorry about that - the update will be released tomorrow. Thanks for your understanding and patience!
Turns out KSH can make a patch so buggy even they won't release it  .

Maybe it's other steps in the chain that have prevented the patch publishing, but the patch itself?
Also, is there any timeline for Working MP Code™ yet? It is difficult to be a terrible griefing space pirate when there is no one to prey upon.

I'm guessing code/compiler bug that prevents their toolchain generating a build, that's the only thing I can think would stop them releasing.
I dunno, they've had some hilariously crashtastic patches that needed next-day hotfixing in the past.

The Dev Patch this week has some pretty good stuff in it, including MORE EXPLOSIONS!

Summary
Hello Engineers! This week we are releasing the visual scripting tool which also comes with some other improvements that should help all the Keen mission and scenario creators out there. For a steam guide continue here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=779965489
There’s also a short example mission to help you learn and for you to use as inspiration. This tool opens up a lot of possibilities, even allowing you to create your own campaigns with multiple missions. We look forward to seeing what the community comes up with and we’ll be running a competition in the near future, so get designing!
You may notice that the main menu is now organized differently. At the top, there is a continue game option which will resume your last loaded world. Below that, you have a missions button. By clicking on this you can access the official example mission. Expect workshop support for missions and scenarios in the coming weeks. When that support comes, you will be able to find subscribed missions in the same screen.
We’ve added directory structure support for the load world page. This can currently only be utilized out of game using Windows explorer. Although backups can now be accessed directly in game with the new backups button on the left side of the page. To access subscribed worlds via the steam workshop, click the workshop button, which is also located on the left side of the page.
Finally you can find the regular new world screen by clicking on custom game.
An explosive change we’ve made this week is that certain functional blocks will now explode when destroyed. You will see the biggest explosion upon the destruction of a large grid large reactor, large grid hydrogen tank and jump drive. Please note, that this is currently only a visual effect and these explosions do not cause damage to surrounding blocks. This change should make battles and crashing ships even more exciting.
Some other improvements include a larger max voxel tool size (which can now be set up to 100 blocks instead of 10) and the ability to select a default camera in a remote control block. This means that when you first take control of a grid via a remote control block, you can have it automatically go into the specified camera’s view.
Lastly, there’s an update for the stable branch today which contains features like the realistic sound mode and improvements to the renderer and ModAPI taking it to version 01.153. You can find full list of features + fixes for the Stable branch here: http://forums.keenswh.com/threads/7388145

I wonder how much stuff they are going to merge between the two games.
I would unironically build a space log cabin if I could harvest wood in space engineers.

That setup looks fine. Is your Hydrogen tank set to only stockpile maybe?
