Black Tidal Update is LiveJun 6, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsWe are happy to announce the the Black Tidal update is now live. A whole new region with 4 new asteroid classes, all new resources with a focus on liquids, which can now be harvested using the Liquid Pump. Lets take a look at everything this update has in store! New Region - New Corporation - New Resources - New Asteroid Classes As you explore you will encounter some new liquids but beware - some of them may not be so friendly! New Blueprint - The Liquid Pump Place it next to any body of water, toss the hose into the liquid and just watch it slowly package up the liquids into nice compact containers ready for transit. Once a liquid body is drained you can start building and exploring the empty basin! New Blueprint - The Resource Catapult This new piece of equipment can help you optimise resource routes, cross chasms and even shoot up hills to get resources out of a gorge. Level 3 Pirates You will now encounter pre-built pirate defences on Asteroids with 💀💀💀 Pirate Activity. Make sure you clear the asteroid before sending your workerbots out! New Manufacturing Machine - The Clarifier + Larger Manufacturing Bay You can now operate more machines in various configurations with 4 manufacturing slots and make use of the new Clarifier which can help split certain resources down into two outputs. New Command Bot Modifications HeatsinkHelps with heat management from Jet Boosters, Mining Lasers and Blasters.Molten Iron CapacityIncrease the amount of molten iron you carry for construction.Inscrease Scan RangeScan farther to tag resources and detect items buried in the surface rock.Overclock SpeedAbility to move faster on the asteroid surface when tools are unequipped. Ultrawide support You can now enjoy Astronomics at various aspect ratios and we are no longer locked to 16:9 resolutions!Help / Debug Support Hub The Pause Menu now features a new Help / Debug section that can Reset the Command Bot and Astronaut in case they find themselves in some game-breaking location. We also have links to places where you can learn more or report bugs as well as a Command Line Console where we have some commands that will help us gather data or make fixes if problems arise. Congratulations! you made it to the end of this message! We hope you enjoy the update. Thanks for joining us on this Early Access ride. Our plans are now to spend several weeks polishing things up, improving quality of life and fixing some pain points before we switch gears into finishing up the next region. As always Cube Corp wishes you a prosperous day! -hubeVersion 0.75.4 - Unstuck / Reset optionsJun 5, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsWe have now added a new section to the Pause Menu called Help / Debug where you will find links to all support resources as well as some options to fix a stuck Command Bot, restore an Astronaut who may have escaped the Shuttle as well as a Command Line Console where you can enter specific commands to help correct or diagnose issues going forward. This patch also includes some improvements to making drained water basins open to construction and transit slightly sooner so you are not stuck waiting for all the liquid to be drained entirely. - hubeVersion 0.75.3a - Hardpoint HotfixJun 5, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsYesterdays update that fixed the Command Bot tools for some of you caused an issue with the hardpoint for everyone - this issue is now resolved! -hubeVersion 0.75.3 - FIxing missing tools and small bugsJun 4, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsSome fixes to bugs that were reported this week - biggest one are reports of Command Bot loadout failing to show the player's existing tools - that should all be fixed and you can continue with your existing save files.

Official news post with some images detailing the update will go up later today! Cube Corp wishes you a prosperous day!Official Wiki is LIVEMay 10, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsThe Astronomics Official Wiki is now live and you can access it here! http://astronomics.wiki.gg Thanks to our community member Alikimoko for getting this started and doing a lot of the heavy lifting around the wiki's data architecture. Also big thanks to Mazianni who helped fill the wiki with data! You may recognize those two names as they co-authored the Astronomics beginner's guide available here in the Steam Community pages. A big thank you to River and the team at wiki.gg who helped get everything up and running assisting us along the way. The wiki is open to contributions and there is now an official #wiki channel on our discord to anyone interested in discussing anything wiki related. -hubeVersion 0.74.7 - Manufacturing MultiplierMay 4, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsHello! Today I arrive with a small fix to the Manufacturing pains that have been reported. We have heard your feedback on the manufacturing and we are working towards a more interesting manufacturing future, one that has more optimizations, options and requires less planning. For the time being we hope this solution offers some reprieve. You can now go to Settings -> Gameplay and set a multiplier for Manufacture Time from 1 to 10x decreasing the time it takes for machines to process any recipe up to ten times. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43795107/4421db3ecb7c88b93832a7fb8998910cc5f8f1fd.gif Hopefully this improves the experience for now, until we can offer something more interesting and balanced. Cube Corp wishes you a prosperous day! - hubeDevelopment UpdateMay 3, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsHello! We have entered May and are working hard to get the Black Tidal region for you all this month! FIrst lets do a rundown of the news The Roadmap has been updated You can check that out here We're launching an Astronomics Wiki on wiki.gg Efforts spearheaded by Alikimoko and a group of great folks he has gathered are about to yield some incredible results as we welcome the official Astronomics wiki. It has been a tremendous endeavour and we've been helping as best we can. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this effort, the folks at wiki.gg and especially to Alikimoko who has done the bulk of the heavy lifting. Very exciting to see this go live sometime in May. March Update Launched last month The post about the March update never got more than some patch notes so here's a rundown of some of the new equipment that has been introduced to the game at the end of March! The Gravity Well {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43795107/ac44310747bfee4da0f459abbb51caa895517a4f.gif A contraption that lets you feed matter into a tiny black hole to then exert a counter force to the asteroid causing it to stop and give you more time to mine resources! The Forcefield {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43795107/8f7fb5df8a54966e6930cc125691383dd1160788.gif A portable piece of equipment that produces a defensive shield that will block pirate bullets and prevent pirate pods from landing inside! But beware, the pirates can still walk in, just like you and the workerbots can. The Portable Battery {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43795107/b884e2e9f8cc68992a52867e862eba8090679fa8.gif A portable battery that allows you to charge out in the field. Great when paired with the workerbot delivery system. Forget going back to the shuttle - take some extra juice with you. The Black Tidal Update {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43795107/28ec0ded6b08c9b4e4f32f669023ac04d88b2d81.gif Finally a sneak peek at the Black Tidal Content we are working on for this month! The Liquid Pumps - build these near bodies of liquid and dunk the hose to start pumping! Once pools are drained you can proceed to extract the resources within! We are still working to address some of the more urgent bugs you have reported, and improve the Manufacturing experience before this update goes out - look for those in the coming days. We've also got some grass shader improvements that will hopefully be improving the performance, especially at higher resolutions, when the May update goes live! Thanks for making it all the way to the end! Cheers! -hube Version 0.74.6 - Tiny FixesApr 15, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsHello!
