Users Interact: The game enables players to interact and communicate with each other, so may expose players to language usually associated with older rated games. As of the game's full release, an "oxygenator" is required to provide an extended reach of oxygen when tethering.

When low on oxygen, the Astroneer recharges by staying near craftable tethers, which can be chained over long distances to prevent suffocation.

You need considerable patience and time to achieve this.įor example, Ammonium can be converted into hydrazine fuel for an Astroneer's spacecraft, or used in its raw form to create a limited-use thruster. You develop production sequences that take the raw material you find and turn it into more useful substances. The game has a complex hierarchy of building and materials. This creates space to build different structures (storage silos, atmospheric condensers, research chambers, component smelters, batteries, generators, turbines, and solar panels) and explore with different craft (rovers, buggies, space shuttles). There is no specific story, although the challenges of each planet give rise to struggles of achievement to placate the wild landscape.Īs well as build a home on a far off planet, you can also sculpt the hills and valleys with the terrain tool. Astroneer is an open-world space adventure where you colonize planets by creating habitable structures, farming and mining resources.
