GRAVHOUNDS Tutorial: Start at the Holo Table

After the opening sequence, follow the instruction to report to the Holo Table aboard the ship and use it to begin your first tutorial shift. In the demo, tutorial completion unlocks Single Player, while Multiplayer can be entered without finishing it.

The opening shift introduces building, mining, defending and extraction in sequence. Establishing a working base around the Collector comes before completing the resource and defense tasks. Follow the active objective as it changes, because trying to skip ahead can leave you searching for an interaction that has not been introduced yet.

Identify where your attempt stops before choosing a troubleshooting step. Being unable to interact aboard the ship, failing to load the shift and having an objective stop advancing are different symptoms. Note the last action that worked so you can test the relevant part of the process.

The playtest-to-demo changes allowed players to enter Multiplayer before completing the tutorial. Single Player still required tutorial completion in that demo flow. The same update moved Multiplayer to the first main-menu position and sent players to the Host/Join screen after finishing the tutorial.

For a demo player following that flow, reaching Host/Join after the tutorial is expected. You can learn through Multiplayer with friends before completing the tutorial, but the demo's Single Player unlock still depends on finishing it. Keep these demo rules separate from the Early Access bug that could make Single Player unavailable after multiplayer.

The November 6 Early Access update addressed Single Player access after multiplayer, F-key rebinding and rare session-loading crashes. It also included save recovery improvements and a rare GPU crash fix. These changes are relevant when the obstacle is accessing a mode, using a binding or loading a session.

Install available updates before retesting the same action. Keep your test focused on the symptom you actually encountered, and note whether the result changes. An update is a sensible starting point, but avoid assuming every tutorial problem has the same cause.

At the Pipeline objective, confirm the connection instead of leaving the connector in motion. At the Fabricator objective, position the building over the highlighted active node until it snaps, then confirm placement. Holding the kit in placement mode does not complete the assembly objective.

At the resource objective, check delivery as well as mining. The tutorial asks for Titanium to reach the Collector, and pieces that miss the processor or Pipeline do not complete that delivery. Use the Grav Beam to reposition missed material and watch it enter the collection system.

At extraction, activating Launch Prep begins another defense period. Keep protecting the Collector until the game tells you to return, then board before liftoff. Successful extraction brings you back to the ship, where the Research Lab becomes available and the next instruction is to unlock a Turret design.

Use this sequence when the failure happens while joining or rejoining a multiplayer session. GRAVHOUNDS uses player-hosted multiplayer, so the host's hardware and internet connection affect connection quality and performance. Keep a failed join attempt separate from an interaction problem inside the tutorial.

Send a reproducible remaining issue through the official Steam Discussions community. Include your platform, game version and the actions that lead to the failure, preferably with a video. Describe the exact stopping point so the report distinguishes a missing mode, an ignored interaction and a loading crash.
