Astroneer 1.45 Update Patch Notes – December 6, 2022

Project CHEER Delivery Event

Astroneers can create fresh toys via the Small Printer using Scrap and other resources.

Packaged toys are worth different point amounts when shipped:

• 20 Points – Automaton 001s & 002s

Astroneer 1.44 Update Patch Notes – September 20, 2022

Gravity Globe

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).

Astroneer 1.42 Update Patch Notes – July 12, 2022

Rails System

EXO Dynamics is proud to introduce the brand new Rails System! 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!

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.

• Printed on: Medium Printer
• Resource Cost: 2 Resin, 1 Aluminum
• Byte Cost: 1500
• Power Draw: 1 Power per second

Rail Engines

Specialized railway vehicle used for personal transportation and faster trains. Provides a built-in seat, 2x small auxiliary slots, and a headlight. Can only be placed on the front or back of a train.

• Printed on: Medium Printer
• Resource Cost: 1 Resin, 1 Aluminum, 1 Copper
• Byte Cost: 1000
• Power Draw: 3 Power per second

Railway Items

Your new railway vehicles won’t do much good without rail lines to ride along! 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!

• Printed on: Small Printer
• Resource Cost: 1 Resin, 1 Aluminum
• Byte Cost: 750
• Bundle Count: 10

Rail Junction

Rail Junctions split rail lines in two, forming a 3-way connection.

• Printed on: Medium Printer
• Resource Cost: 2 Aluminum
• Byte Cost: 1000
• Bundle Count: 5

Rail Station

The Rail Station offers powerful automation tools to assist in advanced rail logistics, including automatically loading or unloading trains.

• Printed on: Large Printer
• Resource Cost: 2 Titanium, 1 Copper, 1 Quartz
• Byte Cost: 2500

Automation

Updates and additions have been made to existing automation systems to take advantage of the Rails System.

• Railway Items as Sensors

Rail Posts and Stations are equipped with reaction slots that activate in response to railway vehicles.

• Railway Item Pin Slots

Rail Junctions are equipped with a pin slot for each of their three connections, giving you precise control over when each one is active.

• Rail Station Pin Slots

Rail Stations are equipped with pin slots that will start a docked train moving in the desired direction.

• Storage Sensors and Railway Vehicles

When placed on a railway vehicle, the Storage Sensor will monitor storage state across the entire train.

Adventure Mode Story + Missions

New missions have been added to the mid-game which send players down a path of logistics investigation and exploration. Travel to the icy wastes of Glacio, the mysterious caves of Calidor, and the whimsical depths of Sylva to learn about the importance of railways within EXO Dynamics. Along the way, players will discover new characters who have stumbled upon a mystery that may have greater ramifications for the overall mission of Astroneers.

(Players who have completed “Talking Tungsten” will automatically receive the new starter mission “Digging Deeper”.)

Quality of Life Improvements

• Rover tooltips now display train length status
• The VTOL now responds properly to local gravity zones
• All Data Logs now track seen/unseen entries per player
• Bundleable items will no longer snap to the backpack while held, making it easier to place them near the character
• Item bundles in the backpack’s auxiliary slots will automatically replenish from bundles of the same type in the backpack
• The camera has been improved to better handle tight spaces, without taking zoom control away from the player

New SKU: Starter Bundle!

We’re introducing a new Bundle available for all players as a one-time purchase.
Includes:

• 750 QBits
• Starter Bundle Suit
• Starter Bundle Palette

Store – New Items Available Now!

New Hats

• Quick Thinking
• Exhaust Port

New Mask

New Palettes

EXO Automated Mass Production Protocol

The Automated Mass Production Protocol returns! Astroneers are asked to undertake the creation of large quantities of valuable resource nuggets to send off via the EXO Request Platform in exchange for useful goodies and stylish customizations.

EXO Dynamics has changed up the resource requests this year and upgraded their transfer rocket to accept any of the following resources for varying points (per nugget):

• 1 Point – Compound
• 3 Points – Aluminum
• 5 Points – Tungsten Carbide

All Astroneers present are awarded points when a rocket is launched – cooperation is encouraged for efficiency!

The post Astroneer Update 1.42 Patch Notes for PS4, PC & Xbox appeared first on UpdateCrazy.

Astroneer PS4 update 1.40 released for players. According to the official Astroneer 1.40 patch notes, the latest brings new controls and accessibility features to the game. Apart from this, Astroneer version 1.40 also includes various bug fixes and gameplay changes.

Previously, a big major update added new switches, new platforms, updated modules, and more. Unfortunately, many players are still experiencing several issues.

Today’s Astroneer version 1.40 will fix a few of these issues. Check out more details below.

Astroneer 1.40 Update Patch Notes

Controls & Accessibility

This is a long time coming but we did a bunch of work to add (honestly..) basic functionality for controls across all platforms. You can now use mouse and keyboard on console and can remap a TON of inputs to completely customize your experience. We did this mainly for accessibility purposes, if you are a player who needs to move buttons around to make sure you can enjoy Astroneer, this one is for you <3. Of particular note, you can now make some “hold” actions a toggle to help make sure you can play with less need to hold multiple buttons down for long periods of time.

• The menu has been updated to include separate tabs for Keyboard / Mouse and Controller settings on a per-platform basis (moved from the general Options menu where they previously lived)
• Players can now remap controller inputs in the Controller Settings tab of the menu
• Mouse and Keyboard support has been added for players on Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch
• Support for remapping of extra mouse buttons has been added
• Players on controller can now set Virtual Cursor to a toggle
• Players on Mouse and Keyboard can now set Camera Orbit functionality to a toggle

Additionally, adding Mouse and Keyboard support to console means people can use a variety of peripherals if they need. We tested a lot of hardware (thanks so much Q/A team <3) to ensure that you can remap lots of actions to any mouse button or any keyboard input. The team also tested these changes with the Xbox Adaptive controller which should work great on Xbox and PC. (Note: we didn’t test everything, so let us know if you are having trouble with a specific mouse or k/b!)

Miscellaneous Improvements

Audio Improvements

• T1 Oxygenator, when slotted into the player’s backpack while on, will fade out its audio loop while remaining operational.

Camera Improvements

• The camera handles tight spaces more smoothly, with reduced instances of rapidly zooming in and out.
• The camera now responds intelligently to movement up or down slopes when following the player.
• The camera no longer loses sight of the player when moving at very high speeds.
• General tuning adjustments.

Drill Improvements

• The drill aiming UI now accurately represents the angle of the drill relative to the rover. This means the tilt indicator on the drill UI no longer drifts as the drill moves to align with it.
• Rovers now maintain a steady speed while drilling, instead of increasingly gaining speed downhill, and outpacing the drill in the process.
• Drilling is now clamped between a maximum upwards and downwards tilt, in order to prevent the rover from flipping over, or losing traction.
• Drills are automatically disabled if the rover starts to point vertically up or down.

Landing Zone Improvements

• The player experience when orbiting a planet and selecting landing zones has received an update to improve communication and comprehension
• Landing zones have animated visuals added along with beacons to aid in more easily locating and selecting them
• Landing zones now also have tooltips that appear on hover / cursor select
• Landing zones generated from player-created Landing Pads (including the starting pad) now have a unique cylindrical shape, icon, and label
• For gamepads, a prompt appears to notify players that they must use the virtual cursor to select a landing zone

Resource Bytes Update

• Composite resources now have Byte values assigned and can be researched in the Research Chamber
• All researchable resources have had their research times changed to 5 minutes total with Byte values adjusted accordingly

Localization

Trophy/Achievement names and descriptions have been updated with new translations in Japanese

What is new in Astroneer 1.39 February 4 Update?

Achievement/Trophy Rewards

• [AS-17194] Fixed a bug with some achievement rewards that were unlocked while offline getting relocked the next time players connected online. This will not retroactively unlock items whose achievements were already completed, so players will either need to complete the required actions again, or contact player support for help.

Controller

• [AS-17152] Fixed a bug where players using a controller could not close the Qbit store menu (this did not affect Switch players)

Snails

• [AS-16311] Fixed a bug where Enoki’s (Atrox Snail) buff would get removed when the player sits in any seat
• [AS-17157] Fixed the issue where a resource nugget could get stuck in the Xenobiology Lab

Crashes

• Fixed various crashes: [AS-17173], [AS-17174], [AS-17177], [AS-17178]

Dedicated Servers

• [AS-17198] Fixed an issue where compass navpoints were not properly showing up on servers. This could still happen occasionally, but should be less frequent, and can be worked around by restarting the server.

Audio

• [AS-17155] Reverb has been restored to cavern layers on all platforms, except for Switch, where this is intentionally disabled for performance reasons.

Localization

• [AS-17147] Fixed a bug in the Astropedia on the Sylva page where the Japanese translation for power would extend past the bounds of the box

The following is still a known issue as of version 1.23.132.0:

• [AS-17175] For Steam players: There were a number of crashes related to players who had a mod loader installed. Astroneer doesn’t support mods, so if you are having persistent crash issues, make sure you disable any installed mods. This shouldn’t impact players without mods so if you are crashing don’t hesitate to reach out to us at support@systemera.net!
• [AS-17197] Clients cannot interact with oxygenator on the Xenobiology lab when it’s packaged. This can be worked around by 1. Hosts interacting with the packaged item (if not on a server) 2. Using an auto-arm to remove the packaged item or 3. Using a proximity repeater to open the packaged item

What is new in Astroneer 1.38 Xenobiology Update? – January 13, 2022

Feature Updates

• Nintendo Switch

This update coincides with the release of Astroneer for Nintendo Switch and serves as its Day One patch. Physical copies of Astroneer contain content up through Update 19; players will need to connect and download this update to also receive any changes from the intervening releases.

• Galastropods

“Space Snails” are now a part of the universe of Astroneer. Players have the opportunity to gain these unique and highly adaptable creatures as permanent companions that also give benefits to their caretakers.

• Full Tummies & Companion Benefits

Each Galastropod loves treats and will become extra happy and energized when fed. While a Galastropod is full, players receive a unique benefit to aid in their adventures. Galastropods also have favorite foods which will extend the duration of their benefit when fed.

• Adventure Mode Story

Begin a new adventure to retrieve unique Galastropoda specimens and investigate the mystery behind their appearance.

* ##### Update-Specific Intro Cinematic

We’ve added a new cinematic that will display the first time players start the game after receiving this update. This doesn’t replace the original intro cinematic for brand new players, which will still play their first time.

* ##### New Missions

Fresh content has been added to the early game to launch players on a journey of snail discovery across the solar system!

• Mission Items + Recall Rewards

Certain new missions now have required items and/or permanent rewards. Both of these allow players to respawn them at the nearest landing pad for their convenience (or if they’ve misplaced them). Mission items are limited to a single item per save, while permanent rewards are available as a single item per player.

• Creative Mode

Galastropods are immediately available for access in Creative Mode via the Catalog in the “Discoveries” tab (second from the right).

Astroneer’s Third Anniversary

Wow! It’s been almost three years since 1.0… can you believe it?! This February, we’ve got a celebratory cosmetic to share with players, from our heart to your head.

• Hazardous Flora Farming

All hazardous flora has been updated to produce multiple seeds to allow for easier cultivation. Seed growth times have also been reduced (to feed your hungry snails!)

Planets have a larger collision volume when selecting them from solar system view, which should make them easier to select, especially when using a controller

Bug fixes in Astroneer version 1.18

The following are still known issues as of version 1.14.71.0:

• When a Resource Canister is attached to the Auto Extractor while set to output and then switched while slotted, the canister will not autofill it’s first resource. If slotted while on the input setting, it should work as intended. We hope to address this in a hotfix.
• The Wanderer’s Way Achievement is still not earnable on Dedicated Servers. We are continuing work on this issue and hope to have it fixed as soon as possible. The Achievement is earnable in single player and peer-to-peer multiplayer games.
• Target pins connecting T1 items on T1 slots are still having issues with selecting platform or storage instead of the slot if there’s another T1 slot closer to the camera. This is especially noticeable when slots appear in a grid pattern. It’s most prevalent on Figurine Platform, Medium Storage, and Large Platform C. It also occurs to a lesser degree, depending on the camera angle, on Medium Storage Silo and Extra Large Storage.

• [AS-11376] – Large and Medium Resource Canisters’ Tool Tips now appropriately update correctly for Clients while the canister is being filled in Multiplayer games
• [AS-11403] – When playing in Multiplayer, all players can now see T1 items that are picked up by an Auto Arm

AUTOMATION:
