Some tips from a beginner:

1. Keep center two vertical and center two horizontal columns clear of meteorites; fill every square. Result = 12 points.
2. place meteors as close as possible to each other for easier gathering.
3. when expecting a 2nd Rover, place that tile as far from 1st Rover as possible, near meteors or Life Pods.
4. I asked a 300+ level player which is more important - achieving goals or advancing tracks. Answer: Balance. ?
5. Pay attention to tracks that trigger other track movements. These are designated with the pinwheel design.
6. When playing for maximum area (water/rover/energy/civ/vegetation) work from the center out to one side if possible.
