About to jump planets, what should I be taking along? Also is there anything I should make sure is done on the OG planet before leaving for a bit?

That depends on the planet. But most things have already been mentioned.

Maybe you should pack in a cargo landing pad and maybe a couple of cargo bays. This way you can keep sending in stuff you need. Also, when you drop stuff on the planet without a cargo landing pad on it, the pods will scatter in an area. Depending on the planet that might suck a lot.

Right now the plan is to go to Vulcanus. I will be packing a landing pad!

Good choice! Vulcanus was my first one. I brought solar panels and accumulators with me. Worked out pretty well with four times the energy production. But there is an even better way to produce electricity. As soon as you unlock acid neutralisation you can make lots of 500 degree steam.

Therefore you should take steam engines with you. If you already can build steam turbines, take those.
