Fibrous Pulp feeds both the equipment and medical supply chains. Convert only the amount you need for the next craft so the rest of the trip can focus on Copper, acid pouches and oxygen upgrades.
Quick answer: Collect Fibrous Pulp on the starter Lifepod material route. At the Fabricator, 2 Fibrous Pulp makes 1 Fiber. Reserve 4 Fibrous Pulp for the 2 Fiber used by Basic Fins.

Route and unlock plan
Lifepod-area starter route after the first Titanium and Quartz loop.
Step 1
Keep the route short
Gather it during the same safe starter loop as Titanium and Quartz instead of stretching into a deep route.
Step 2
Use the Survival Multitool if prompted
Bring the Survival Multitool when gathering plant materials on the starter route.
Step 3
Track the whole fiber chain
Fibrous Pulp is most useful when Fiber and Fiber Mesh pages point back to it.
Step 4
Record the patch version
Starter material names and yields are exactly the kind of Early Access detail that can move.

| Common mistake | Route drift | Do not turn one starter example into a universal farm loop without repeat checks. |
| Best next page | Fiber Mesh | Once Fabricator text is checked, Fiber Mesh can receive a recipe row. |
