New Astroneer Mission Chain

Per Astroneer [ERROR!#00] Protocol, recruits are expected to complete the following missions in preparation for this new endeavor:

  • Composite Perfection
  • Final Entry
  • Training Complete

Please consult your EXO-certified mission log to verify your completion of these missions.

Fault Finders & Advanced Trade

Once [ERROR#%//HELP] has been completed, Fault Finder items can be crafted and deployed. Fault Finders which are activated and used to store a [ERROR//%!DENIED] can be used on the Trade Platform for the acquisition of extremely valuable or enjoyable items.

UX Improvements

  • Printer Control Panel Updates: Control Panels on the Small, Medium, and Large Printer have been updated with category-based navigation. Items are now grouped into separate rows, matching their grouping within the Catalog.
  • Location and Travel Notifications: When entering a region on a planet, a location notification will briefly appear at the top of the screen. The current location can be redisplayed by opening the compass. A travel notification will also appear at the top of the screen when traveling to a different planet.
  • Spaceflight: Stabilizations have been made to the camera when launching a shuttle into orbit, or traveling between planets.
  • Creative Mode Catalog Additions: The Beach Ball (Recreational Sphere variant) and multiple color variations of the Fireworks item have been added to the Catalog, and can be found within the second Creative Mode item category.
