Feature Updates
Gravity Globe
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]
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 [ERROR!%&#HELPHELPHELP]

EXO F.A.R.M.
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
- 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.
Quality of Life Improvements
- 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.
Creative Mode item duplication:
- 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).
Research Chamber:
- 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.
Mission/Data Logs:
- ‘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.
(Power) 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.
Wanderer Missions
- 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.
EXO Request Platform
- 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.
