You don’t have to accept deaths! I’ve never lost a dupe yet and have beaten the game multiple times. There are skills to learn though so you can safely conquer each of the hazards presented by different biomes (heat, lack of oxygen, germs etc). I do like to look at other people’s builds etc to learn from them though. There’s a huge community around this game and people have built all kinds of crazy megaprojects (pumping magma, melting steel and regolith, boiling glass to use the vapour for things etc) you can take inspiration from. Francis John is someone mentioned in another post or if you want really insane builds greezyhammer is great although he posts very infrequently. One key thing that another poster has mentioned is taking it slow. Also learn to use vacuum and similar mechanisms to your advantage. If you look at other people’s advanced builds, they almost always start with a vacuum to control the environment and build from there.
