What Are Resources Used For?

Essentially, resources can be used to craft mods for your weapons and spacesuits, cook food items at a cooking station, as well as craft buildings for your Outposts. Additionally, researching new projects like Helmet Mods or Pack Mods also require resources when using a Research Laboratory.
