Update 1.26

Feature Updates

[h2]Gravity Globe [/h2]
A new vehicle(?) has been discovered in the wild! 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: [ERROR – PROPULSIVE MECHANISM UNRECOGNIZED]

[h2]Portable Smelter [/h2]
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

[h2] Curious Items [/h2]
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 [ERROR!%%&#HELPHELPHELP]

[h2]LRD Behavior [/h2]
[REDACTED]

[h2]New Emote – Dizzy [/h2]
A new emote - “Dizzy” - has been added to the core game. This emote can be unlocked by [ERROR – REFERENCE MISSING] which can certainly make an Astroneer become dizzy!

[h2]Store - New Items Available Now! [/h2]

New Suit: Galastro Suit
New Mask: Mecha Snail
New Palette: Toasty
New Emote: Greet the Dawn

[h2]EXO F.A.R.M. [/h2]
It’s time again to gather hard-working Astroneers and band together for EXO Dynamics in the Fuel Acquisition, Renewal & Maintenance event! Sturdysquash are in season and can be farmed in bulk to be processed in Cauldrangea plants. Ship off the products to EXO for points and rewards!

Find Wild Sturdysquash that can be harvested for their seeds on Sylva, Calidor, or Atrox; use these seeds to grow offspring that yield Sturdysquash Samples

Each of the featured planets have a unique variety of Wild Sturdysquash which yield different quantities of seeds
Sturdysquash Samples can be placed in Medium and Large Resource Canisters to keep your farms tidy

Locate Cauldrangea plants on Sylva, Calidor, or Atrox – but beware of the hazards that tend to grow nearby! Use the Cauldrangeas to produce one of three types of biofuel.

Compass navpoints appear to indicate nearby Cauldrangea.
Cauldrangea can be interacted with to cycle through their current biofuel recipe for production.
Each of the featured planets have a unique variety of Cauldrangea with different production speeds.

Different biofuels can be produced using different ingredients; the rarer the ingredients, the more the produced biofuel is worth:

Squasholine: 15 Points
Sturdysquash Samples
Attapetrol: 35 Points
Sturdysquash Samples + Mutant Spiny Attactus Seeds
Noxothane: 50 Points
Sturdysquash Samples + Mutant Elegant Spewflower Seeds

EXO Dynamics rewards biofuel contributions with:

800 Points – Biofuel Throwback Bundle
Contains cosmetics rewarded from previous years:
• Emote: ”Giddyup”
• Hat: ”Honest Living”
• Cosmetic T4 Shelter: “PUM-KN Shelter”
2400 Points – Emote: ”Leaf Leap”
5600 Points – Visor: “Pollen Count”
8000 Points – Hat: ”Galastro Cap”

Useful incremental rewards are included along the way to bolster your harvesting capabilities. Randomized recurring rewards are available after completing the event – including QT-RTGs & EXO Chips! – for those who want to continue to produce biofuels.

[h2]Quality of Life Improvements [/h2]

Duplicating a held item will now also duplicate most items slotted to it (excluding items in input/output slots).
Duplicating an item that is snapped to a slot while held will automatically slot the duplicate item.

The Research Chamber will now automatically pull research items from storage. Valid non-research items (such as crafting resources) can still be slotted manually, or by using an auto-arm.
Items can now be slotted to the Research Chamber as soon as a research operation is complete (instead of needing to wait for the animation to finish).

Missions with key items will be automatically tracked
Missions that are unlocked when a tracked mission is completed will be automatically tracked.
Scrolling through the mission/log lists will clamp to the top or bottom entries, instead of wrapping around to the other end.
The details panel will not take cursor focus when the cursor just happens to be over it as the log opens.

‘Extenders’ have been renamed to ‘Power Extenders’.
Power Extenders can now be toggled between directional and networked connections. Doing so will toggle the entire chain of extenders.

The mission “Things to Remember” has been refactored to provide a specific objective for each scannable probe.
An extra descriptive line showing the scanned status of a probe has been added to their tooltips, tracked on a per-player basis.

EXO Request Platforms now have an additional screen showing the requested items for the current event and their point values.
The icons shown within its control panel and on the outside of the module now cycle the currently requested items.

When using a gamepad, item tooltips will show up on a delay when an item receives proximity focus. (Tooltips are not delayed when focusing on items using the cursor.)
Tooltips will not display for items whose control panels are currently open.
The collision volumes on most small slots have been tuned with a lower profile, leading to fewer instances of the cursor targeting an unintended slot.
The resource info tooltip on the Terrain Tool cursor appears more readily when held over a resource deposit.
Rover power cables are no longer forced to be directional when attached to non-rover items (like platforms).
Menu-sliders will now increase/decrease more quickly the longer input is held.
Large spaceport structures that can be found on planets now have functional landing zones.

Take one giant chuff for mankind in Astroneer’s rail update, out now

Monorail! Humanity’s greatest form of transport after dirigibles and the tuktuk. Space survival sandbox Astroneer has been good enough to plonk in the ability to construct our own railways among the stars in its new free rails update. It looks like a pretty chill addition to an already chilled take on the survival genre, if I’m using my chills correctly. Raise your visor and have a watch for yourself below.

Rails Update

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!

[h2]Railway Vehicles [/h2]
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!

[h3]Rail Cars [/h3]
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

[h3]Rail Engines [/h3]
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

[h2]Railway Items [/h2]
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.
[h3]Rail Posts (Standard & Tall) [/h3]
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

[h3]Rail Junction [/h3]
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

[h3]Rail Station [/h3]
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

[h2]Automation [/h2]
Updates and additions have been made to existing automation systems to take advantage of the Rails System.

[h3]Railway Items as Sensors [/h3]
Rail Posts and Stations are equipped with reaction slots that activate in response to railway vehicles.
[h3]Railway Item Pin Slots [/h3]
Rail Junctions are equipped with a pin slot for each of their three connections, giving you precise control over when each one is active.
[h3]Rail Station Pin Slots [/h3]
Rail Stations are equipped with pin slots that will start a docked train moving in the desired direction.
[h3]Storage Sensors and Railway Vehicles [/h3]
When placed on a railway vehicle, the Storage Sensor will monitor storage state across the entire train.

[h2]Adventure Mode Story + Missions [/h2]
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

[h2]New SKU: Starter Bundle! [/h2]
We’re introducing a new Bundle available for all players as a one-time purchase.
Includes:

750 QBits
Starter Bundle Suit
Starter Bundle Palette

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
15 Points – Nanocarbon Alloy

All Astroneers present are awarded points when a rocket is launched - cooperation is encouraged for efficiency!
EXO Dynamics rewards contributions with:

160 Points – “AMPP Throwback” Bundle –
Contains cosmetics rewarded from the previous year:
- “Cogpiece” (Mask)
- “Copper Plate” (Palette)
480 Points – NEW “Dot Com” Palette

Controls Update

Updates

[h2]Controls & Accessibility[/h2]
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

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
[h2]Miscellaneous Improvements [/h2]
[h3]Audio Improvements [/h3]

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

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.

[h3]Drill Improvements [/h3]

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.

[h3]Landing Zone Improvements [/h3]

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
