EXO Cares InitiativeApr 15, 2024 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/10546736/7a82b982d3660962df4b29176c9262b11ecc5a86.png This year’s EXO Cares includes a refresh! While you can still clean up your planets to generate scrap (and you should!!) you can also use new tappables to create a new resource by combining organic and scrap in the Small Printer. Once you complete the event, you might see some new messages from a certain someone who is trying to reach you about your rover’s extended warranty. New Event Item: |-|4|\|4 Recipe – 1 Scrap, 1 Organic Printable via the Small Printer New Community Goal: We are also adding a community charity incentive for this year’s EXO Cares event. We challenge you to plant 10,000,000 trees (all of the new tappable plants count) in your saves, and if you do, we will donate $5,000 to Conservation Northwest, a non-profit organization working to preserve wildlands, connect habitats, and restore wildlife in the Pacific Northwest. We will be updating you all on Discord and on social media of your progress towards this goal! (A note: planting multiple thousands of trees in the same area in your saves will likely cause your save to become unstable. We suggest you use a new save or make a copy if you really want to push yourself!) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/10546736/2c59843fd899cc2174be8f39e471e9fa46791b40.png Also, this year we are refreshing the rewards for the event with a brand-new cosmetic set! This look makes sure that you are business up front while remaining party in the back. The power is yours to save all of our planets.

Joe here with patch notes and an overall update on our progress for the year so far! The Verdant Update is all about the green thumbs out there, with a brand new item and a completely new way to harness the power of organic without having to destroy the beautiful landscapes on planets. As stated in our roadmap, the Verdant Update is the first of two smaller content updates for the year as we gear up and work on our upcoming expansion that will be releasing in the fall. (More on that later) Feature Updates This update is all about harnessing the power of plants in a “sustainable” way. The Tapper can be placed on “tappable” plants that now spawn in biomes on several planets. The best part? These tappable plants can be uprooted, giving you seeds that will then allow you to plant tappable plants anywhere that is convenient! Start planting your little space orchards! New Item – The Tapper {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/10546736/2341d034aee2513e40376ed747b4cce1056165ce.png Place the tapper on any tappable plant and it will automatically generate organic that you can then feed into your crafting system, automate into carbon for power, or gather for LTEs. It doesn’t require power to operate, but it does take time for the organic to form. Warning: placing multiple tappers on one plant will split the overall output of organic from one tapper between all of the connected tappers. Recipe - 1 Aluminum New Flora - Tappables Tappable plants are a new class of flora in Astroneer that spawn across the solar system. Place a tapper on them in the wild for some organic on the go, or uproot them for their precious seeds so you can plant some near your base for some organic farming. They also are great for adding a little bit of green around your base as decoration. While we are only allowing you to farm organic right now, we would love to hear about other tappable types you might want in the future. All existing hazards and harmless flora are also tappable 5 New Tappable Variants • Plumefir - Sylva • Cactile - Calidor • Glacio - Pricklepod • Stretchpetal - Vesania • Honeypot - Atrox NEW BUNDLE – BUMBLE SET Since this update is all about plants, we are releasing the very fitting Bumble Bundle in Exo Outfitters! Get to buzzing around the solar system with this full set. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/10546736/f040f9bd4411d480e3df47ba599c3b952d22a39b.png FUTURE UPDATES: This is a new section I will be including in patch notes this year to tease you all with the upcoming content that will be (potentially) be releasing in Astroneer, with the hope that things can be a bit more predictable for everyone. If you missed it, we plan on releasing two smaller content updates, The Verdant Update, and a yet to be named update in the Summer. The Summer Update - While we are still in concept, here are some teasers for some new large structures that we are thinking about adding to make exploration more exciting! {STEAM_CLAN...BreakdownJan 29, 2024 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/10546736/0ffe558a93cb2b05d4b5730a457a6e71a3e59177.png HOTFIX 1: This Hotfix addresses the lids of Puzzle Boxes colliding with the items inside causing them to scatter.

Developer System Era Softworks has a huge year planned for my favorite space sandbox game, which it's dubbing the Year of the Glitch. With four content updates planned, culminating in a "full expansion" towards the end of the year, it's going to be a big year for the base-building game. Blending the exploration and crafting of Terraria and Factorio with the space adventures of No Man's Sky and Starfield, it's an exciting time to be an Astroneer lover. Read the rest of the story...

We’ve been alluding to it for a while now, and it’s finally here: Astroneer‘s 2024 roadmap. It’s been almost five years since Astroneer hit 1.0, and we’re honored that you’ve supported us all this time. It’s time for us to shake things up. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/10546736/cfcf2ae1710738459e0e372a7124456bdf4a901d.png TL;DR: In 2024, Astroneers can look forward to four content updates (including a full expansion) as well as light refreshes for all current Limited Time Events (LTEs). All of the info in this post is subject to change, and because game development is a thing, we could add or cut scope. We are really excited about executing on this roadmap though. What does that mean???? Well, Astroneer is in its 5th year of development since 1.0, and we think it is time to shake things up a bit. You might have noticed that this year has a name! The roadmap has the word Expansion on it! We are “refreshing” LTE content! Let’s dig into what you can expect. Y̷͔̾E̵͓̐Â̴͕R̷͚͆ ̴͖̀O̵̢̿F̷̻͊ ̸͓̿T̵̛̫H̸̘̿E̴̙̕ ̴̹͐G̷̥̉L̸̙̿Ĭ̷͉T̶̪͝C̸̫̽Ḣ̷̬ We’ve released over 20 free updates since hitting 1.0, like Creative Mode, Automation, Wanderer, and more recently, narrative-focused updates like Awakening, Rails, and Xenobiology. This year is different. We’re in a post-Awakening world, and everything is not what it seems. The world is changing… {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/10546736/f9469596f8e67db6c50ca66d6e76083760ec7ff5.png Expansion?? Every update in the Year of the Glitch will contain new content and lore building towards a ~mystery~ expansion planned for the end of 2024. We’d like to keep things under wraps for now, but one thing should be clear: the spring and summer updates are “smaller,” as we’ll be focused on a much larger update for the end of the year. It’s still too early to share in-depth details, but we want to maintain transparency and let players know what to expect. It’s going to be a big jump forward for Astroneer. Refreshes In between content releases, we’ve been running our LTEs with new rewards, and this year will be no different. However, we acknowledge that the events themselves haven’t changed much. This year, we plan on doing some balance passes, releasing new rewards, and in some cases, making alterations to events. In fact, we’re kicking off the year in January with a brand new one. Stay tuned for more details! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/10546736/fe2e7199741194df610eccc9c2139f3a6cce4af1.png Alright, that’s all I have for this one. Thanks again, and I hope you all are as excited as we are to continue exploring the world of Astroneer. -jtProject CHEER Delivery EventDec 4, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey all! Can’t believe it is already December, some kind of big things have changed since our last update, but we are still the same System Era. Click here to read more. As far as Astroneer goes, I have some good news and bad news. The good: Astroneer will see a full roadmap of updates in 2024!!! The bad? We still have a bit of rough weather to work through so we aren’t quiiiite ready yet to share more details about the plan. Rest assured we have new items, missions, and gameplay planned to ship throughout the year. As far as this update, make sure you finish Project C.H.E.E.R. for those sweet rewards, but this one was mostly focused on squashing a lot of bugs. Some particularly nasty ones like the Custom Game “No Starting Shelter” progress bug have been fixed so get back into those speed runs!

This update cracks open Astroneer in a way that allows players to do all sorts of really fun things. From creating new saves with unique characteristics like hardcore permadeath, to setting up exact scenarios and speedruns, the custom game tools added will allow you to make the experience your own and then share them with others. Some context: We have always wanted to add new game modes to Astroneer, but we felt like that might be too prescriptive. Instead, we endeavored to create a plethora of customizations that allowed you all to fine-tune the exact experience you want. Hoping for a little more challenge? Change the amount of oxygen produced by all sources, pick a different starting planet, and prevent respawns for a hardcore experience. Do you have trouble with some of the more tedious parts of the game and could use some shortcuts from an accessibility standpoint? Feel free to adjust to your liking and experience the entire game your way. We indexed hard on player choice so everyone can enjoy the game however they would like.

Production-minded Astroneers can create fresh toys via the Small Printer using Scrap and other resources. It is curious that shipping containers keep crash-landing on planets in the Sylva System around this time each year... what’s going on with EXO’s logistics department? Must be a weird glitch in their subroutines. Maybe that explains the weird containers ERROR//LU-C1D filtration at 63% HelpHelpHelp that have been reported on Sylva, Desolo, and Calidor.

This curious contraption seems to be an evolution on EXO’s recreational line of enrichment items, ingeniously augmented with a gyro-stabilized control platform in its interior. While simplistic in its appearance, the Gravity Globe harnesses some of EXO’s most advanced technologies, allowing it to roll against gravity (within reason), and even perform small ‘hops’ to clear minor obstacles. Just like the more primitive Recreational Spheres, the Gravity Globe is an ideal enrichment activity for all Astroneers (and other sentient beings, where appropriate). Gravity Globes can sometimes be found on EXO wreckage: most commonly on abandoned spaceports, but occasionally attached to derelict rover chassis (for what purpose remains unknown). They can additionally be acquired via the Trade Platform. Trade Platform: 8x Astronium Shredding Output: 1x Scrap Power Draw: Portable Smelter A new, rare crafting item has been added to boost refinement of valuable resources. This small item is extremely versatile and can be used to process nuggets on-the-go in your Backpack, to bootstrap a new base, or as part of an intricate automated production network. Portable smelters can sometimes be found on EXO wreckage while exploring or can be acquired via the Trade Platform. Trade Platform: 8x Astronium Shredding Output: 2x Scrap Power Draw: 2 Power per second Curious Items Something... new... has been observed appearing in Abandoned Backpacks found across planets in the Sylva System. It’s unclear exactly what has caused these objects to manifest; further information and experimentation are needed. Caution is advised when interacting with LRD Behavior New Emote – Dizzy A new emote - “Dizzy” - has been added to the core game.

The Rails System brings a new mode of transportation to Astroneer that excels at efficiency and convenience. Place rail posts to build out your rail lines, and then board the new railway vehicles for a hands-free transit experience. And unlike other vehicles, railway vehicles can travel autonomously, perfect for extending the reach of your automation network. But that’s not all: rail lines themselves carry both oxygen and power, making them an excellent way to connect together distant bases and excavation sites like never before! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/10546736/9dbeaeb4a8448d40fc8ed26796f6f42c5d61e013.png Railway Vehicles The Catalog has been updated with two new vehicles custom-built for the Rails System. Railway vehicles can be used individually or chained together into trains up to six vehicles long. Just make sure you have enough power to run them; each vehicle in a train increases its power draw! Rail Cars Basic railway vehicle with a medium storage slot. Slower than Rail Engines, but can be chained together in either direction.

Provides a built-in seat, 2x small auxiliary slots, and a headlight. Can only be placed on the front or back of a train.

Fortunately, the Catalog has also been updated with a range of railway items for building out the rail network of your dreams. Rail Posts (Standard & Tall) The backbone of every rail line. Like tethers, they chain together automatically as they’re dropped. And don’t worry if you left your train back at base; the nearest train can be called to any rail post, at any time!
