## Updates

**Active Grabbing**

The right trigger now activates a state in which you are allowed to quickly and easily grab things in your vicinity. Rings will pop up notifying you of items and modules that you can pick up or interact with. Press A to then pick up your selected item, or interact with base modules and items with buttons on them.

Releasing the trigger while you are in the grabbed state will slot things into your hand. This allows you to freely move around the world with one item that your Astroneer is now holding. It looks rough right now, but if we decide to keep this, it will be animated so that way things aren't eating your entire body.

Not so fast though, there is a downside to keeping items in your hand. Instead of just using your hand as another slot, items in your hand will prevent you from using your terrain tool, because your hand is occupied.

B is now the designated button to "undo" or "cancel" the grabbing state. If you have something actively grabbed or in your hand, you can press B to drop it. This can be used to just drop something at your feet, or drop an item you grabbed so you can continue using the terrain tool.

**Deforming While Using the Camera**

Previously, the controls only allowed you to see where you were deforming by tracking the ring on the ground indicating where you were going to add/subtract/flatten terrain. This new scheme breaks that up, allowing you to still control the camera, while freely moving the terrain tool indicator ring around you. This allows greater freedom to see where you want to deform, or the ability to pan around to the next area where you are going to add or subtract terrain. Use the left stick to control deforming, and use the right to look around. What this does take away is the ability to move while deforming.

**Quick Grabbing**

Now you can quickly and easily grab lots of items and slot them directly into your backpack without having to actually open it. Mouse and keyboard players already have this functionality, and now gamepad players can also utilize this feature. To quick grab, hold the right trigger, and then press the backpack button, Y. This will place items directly into any open slots in your backpack.

**Tether Placement**

Tethers now are extremely easy to place down using the gamepad. The main way is to press down on the d-pad one time. This will put a tether into your hand, and while holding right trigger, allow you to place it anywhere you want. The newest functionality now allows you to place a tether at your feet after putting one in your hand. Press down on the d-pad again to place your already grabbed tether. This gives you the ability to place down long tether lines without ever having to use the virtual cursor.

**Calidor** is an Arid Planet in Astroneer.

It is a dry, sun-blasted planet with a normal atmosphere and desertic terrain, with sloping sand dunes and frequent mesas, buttes and canyons, and desert-themed foliage such as cacti and shrubs. The planet has a slightly longer day/night cycle than Sylva, the Terran planet. Malachite can be found in abundance in the upper underground caves, and within the narrow surface canyons to a lesser extent. Wolframite can also be found in surface cliffs, and deep within the planet, with trace amounts of Laterite not uncommon. Additionally, single pieces of Hematite can commonly be found in wrecks on Calidor.

Wide and gently sloping canyon-like cavern entrances can be found on the surface of the planet, providing easier underground access than on some other planets. Research Items are easily found on Calidor, ranging in value from 750 Bytes to 5900 Bytes, while Research Samples underground can yield as much as 200 Bytes.

## Notable Resources

  Wolframite | Orange Mesas and Mantle Layer

  Sulfur | 100 PPU

## Gateway Network

Information below contains information that may ruin your enjoyment of discovering the game's secrets for yourself. Proceed at your own risk.

 *Spoiler Warning: Information below contains information that may ruin your enjoyment of discovering the game's secrets for yourself. Proceed at your own risk.*

Calidor has six Gateway Chambers, each requiring 12U/s of power for 30 seconds to be activated. Two Medium Generators on a Medium T-Platform is the easiest way to achieve this. At least one must be activated before the player can access the Gateway Engine in the core of the planet.

Once a Gateway Chamber has been activated, the Gateway Engine opens in the core. Placing a single  Explosive Powder in one of the slots reveals the Geometric Triptych. Placing the Geometric Triptych in the slot on the opposite side (above you) will activate the engine, revealing the Odd Stone and allowing teleportation to the core as well as revealing the inactive node for the Gateway Portal if it has not yet been discovered.
Cauldrangea

Tier

 Tier
 Type

**Cauldrangea** are Biofuel refineries used to combine Sturdysquash Samples and certain Seeds into biofuels for the EXO F.A.R.M. event. **Cauldrangea Roots** are organic platforms that Cauldrangea spawns on top of, and can be used with Cauldrangea or other items.

## Source

Cauldrangea and Cauldrangea Roots could be found on the surface of Sylva, Calidor, and Atrox, protected by hazardous flora depending on which planet they are found on.

Leisurely Cauldrangea are found on Sylva, typically located within the plains biome, surrounded by Lashvine and Bouncevine.

Brisk Cauldrangea are found on Calidor, typically found within the dunes biome, surrounded by Lashvine and Spiny Attactus.

Swift Cauldrangea are found on Atrox, typically in the plains biome, surrounded by Lashvine and Volatile Attactus.

Medium Gas Canister

Tier
 Crafted at

The **Medium Gas Canister** is a storage item in Astroneer. It allows players to store large amounts of atmospheric resources.

## Uses

* The Medium Gas Canister can hold up to 32 full canisters or 160 units of a single Atmospheric Resource. They cannot hold other types of resources, including Hydrazine and Soil

### Modes

The Player can cycle between the two modes of the Medium Gas Canister by pressing , , or .

**Input Mode**

* When in this mode, the Medium Gas Canister will collect one type of gas from any available storage or an active Atmospheric Condenser. It can only hold one type of gas at a time.
* If it is empty, it will take the first atmospheric resource it finds from such storage and start holding it.

**Output Mode**

* When in this mode, the Medium Gas Canister will deposit the gas it is holding to any available storage.
Galastropods

Information below contains information that may ruin your enjoyment of discovering the game's secrets for yourself. Proceed at your own risk.

 *Spoiler Warning: Information below contains information that may ruin your enjoyment of discovering the game's secrets for yourself. Proceed at your own risk.*

**Galastropods**, also known as **Space Snails**, are fauna that may be found in Astroneer. Following a chain of missions using the Xenobiology Lab, the player will unlock all seven snail friends, one for each planet. Each snail provides a different buff that requires feeding various hazardous flora seeds to activate. Feeding the snail their favorite seed activates the buff for 30 minutes, or 10 minutes if fed any other seed. The ring on top of the terrarium will be blue while the buff is active, and red while active but in the wrong slot on Princess, Bestefar, and Enoki's terrariums, as they require being in either the backpack or on the Terrain Tool.

## Source

During a playthrough, players will gain access to a mission that requires mining 3 Sphalerite. Completing the mission will reward players with a Strange Object that, when picked up, displays a hologram of the Xenobiology Lab. Placing this hologram on the ground and activating it will spawn in the lab through a rift.

Acquiring a snail will require scanning 5 discarded shells on the same planet as the snail. Afterward, players will be rewarded with a terrarium used to house the snail. Players will then be tasked with filling the terrarium with a soil canister, a seed, and a resource, in order to make a proper environment for the snail.

Once the terrarium has been completed, collecting a snail requires turning the terrarium into a musical bait. Placing a Small Trumpet Horn or Small Squeaker Horn on the terrarium will activate the bait, causing music to play from the horn and the galastropod to appear nearby. Players must then approach the snail and activate a dance emote to please the snail before it digs into the ground and relocates. After this process has been repeated enough times, A heart will appear over the slug, then the player can place the terrarium near the slug and activate it causing it to enter the terrarium.

## Galastropod Shells

Galastropod Shells can be found on every planet, with each planet having a unique shell type. They may be scanned to obtain Bytes, either directly or in a Research Chamber, or placed in a Shredder to obtain Scrap.

* G. sylva Shell
* G. desolo Shell
* G. calidor Shell
* G. vesania Shell
* G. novus Shell
* G. glacio Shell
* G. atrox Shell

## Notes

* When all seven Galastropods are placed on the Xenobiology Lab, a short cutscene will play of the Galastropods singing the tune heard while collecting them.

## Trivia

* Galastropod is a portmanteau of galactic and gastropod.
* Each Galastropod has a species, based on the planet they are found on, each in the genus of Galastropoda. This is based on real world snails being part of the Gastropoda genus.
Graphite

Tier

**Graphite** is a natural resource in Astroneer. Graphite appears in dark gray tubular clusters. Climbing small or large mountains is a good place to look for this resource.

## Source

**Graphite** can be found on all of the Planets.

The  Soil Centrifuge produces 2 **Graphite** with two full  Canisters of  Soil.

The  Trade Platform gives 2 **Graphite** for every  Scrap, up to 8 total for 4  Scrap.

## Uses

Graphite is used to craft the following items:

## Media

* Graphite Icon
* A Single Node of Graphite
* A Graphite Deposit before release of 1.0
C.O.L.E.

*This article is a stub. You can help Astroneer Wiki by expanding it.*

 Tier

**C.O.L.E.** (Computer Operated Logistics Engines), are a railway item in Astroneer. They allow for travel along rails, has two small Slots, and provides oxygen to the player. They are faster than a Rail Engine and harmless.

## Source

Rewarded from completing the Travelling Companion mission.

## Notes

* The front of C.O.L.E. has an animated face that changes depending on if it is empty, a player is sitting in it, or if it is moving with the player sitting in it.
* Each save can only have one C.O.L.E per player.
* C.O.L.E. is not craftable.
* C.O.L.E. cannot be placed in storage unless packaged.

## Trivia

* The face of C.O.L.E. is similar to that of the Face Time visor.
* It represents a smiley emoticon most of the time ( :) ).
Gravity Globe

Tier

The **Gravity Globe** is a recreational item in Astroneer.

## Source

Gravity Globes may be found on various wrecks around the planets, most notably atop naturally-spawning Landing Pads, as well as from the Trade Platform for 8x  Astronium.

## Uses

The Gravity Globe is a recreational Vehicle, resembling a large glass ball with a seat inside for one rider. An Astroneer can enter and use standard vehicle controls to pilot the globe, which has a moderate top speed but overall poor acceleration and handling on its own. Its primary intended use is to serve as a vehicle to navigate specially-designed obstacle courses with high-speed ramps and jumps, or any other recreational uses an Astroneer can think of.

As with all vehicles, the Gravity Globe serves as a source of unlimited Oxygen, however it has no Attachment Slots with which to carry any additional Items or Modules. This combined with the aforementioned poor handling make it an overall impractical choice for a general-purpose vehicle.

The Gravity Globe has one uniquely useful trait among vehicles, however: It is the only vehicle which can naturally spawn fully-intact on the surface of a planet, requiring no resources or Bytes to acquire. It is also unique among land vehicles in that it requires no Power source in order to operate. Thus, despite its poor handling and lack of inventory space, it can serve as an Astroneer's first vehicle to aid in early exploration while they acquire the bytes and resources to manufacture a better one, such as the Buggy or Tractor.

Serving as a fully-intact, naturally spawning infinite oxygen source also means it may be of particular use to players playing in Hardcore mode, or any custom mode in which your starting shelter does not deploy. In these scenarios, the Gravity Globe can serve as an Astroneer's first unlimited oxygen source before obtaining the resources and bytes to manufacture an Oxygenator.

## Notes

* Galastropods and EVA may be placed into the seat of the Gravity Globe, allowing them to travel around without player input.
* The Gravity Globe acts as a Rover Seat if placed on a Vehicle, allowing players to drive Rovers or Rail Cars, or as an extra seat inside a Shuttle.
* The Gravity Globe is large in tier, however it fits in a small slot when packaged.
* Gravity globe doesn’t require external power souce to work, and it’s the only vehicle able to jump.
* Reaching top speed in the Gravity Globe will complete the Globe Trotting mission, which is assigned upon boarding a Gravity Globe for the first time.
Auto Extractor

Tier
 Crafted at

The Auto Extractor is an automation item in Astroneer. It allows players to slowly extract resources from deposits without removing terrain, in exchange for giving the player 15 times the amount of nuggets it would normally deposit when done by hand.

## Uses

* Power Consumption Rate: 8 U/s

At full power, the extractor takes 55.5 seconds to create a single nugget of extracted material. This will fill up its two slots in 111 seconds, a Medium Storage in 7.4 minutes, a Medium Storage Silo in 22.2 minutes, a Medium Resource Canister in 29.6 minutes, and a Large Resource Canister in 6 hours and 10 minutes with the use of an Auto Arm.

## Notes

* The Auto Extractor requires 6 cycles to complete one nugget.
* The Auto Extractor is able to attach directly to Tier 4 attachment slots. This allows it to be transported via a large rover without packaging. The extractor must be turned off before being connected, as it will still drain power when attached to the rover.
* The green bars on each side of the Auto Extractor indicate how much resource is left to extract in the current deposit.
* Organic patches are not true deposits, so the Auto Extractor cannot extract from them.
* The Auto Extractor has a Tier 2, which is meant for a  Medium Resource Canister,  Medium Storage, or  Medium Storage Silo, to add extra storage without using an  Auto Arm.
* A  Tall Storage may be placed on the top of the Auto Extractor so extracted resources are further away. This can be useful when using an  Auto Arm with Auto Extractors placed sideways or upside down.
* An Auto Extractor does not show up on the Compass, so a Beacon is advisable to mark the location if placed far from the player's base.
* The thumping of an active Auto Extractor, if the player is within horizontal range of it, can be heard far underground if one listens.

## Trivia

* The Auto Extractor was first shown off on the June 12, 2020 SES Dev Twitch stream.
EXO Salvage Initiative

The **EXO Salvage Initiative** is a LTE in Astroneer. It was initially added with the Salvage Initiative Update and is accessed through the  EXO Request Platform.

The previous year's items from the EXO Cares Initiative were bundled and were given for completing the first milestone. A new hat, emote, and palette is rewarded for completing the remaining milestones. Care Packages may be obtained after completing all milestones, giving various resources and items.

* Palette: “Going Green”
* Hat: “Wired”
 CO-N3
 Stop Sign
 Safety Orange

Care packages are randomized after the final milestone, rewarding the following:

## Notes

* The final level of Care Package rewards allowed players to easily craft  RTGs by gathering points after 9,500.
Drills

Drills are items in Astroneer that affect the way that the player interacts with the terrain. All soil has a hardness level, from 0 to 3, indicated by an increasingly darker pattern of lines on the soil. Each level of drill increases the ease at which the player can dig out the soil when equipped on a Crane, Tractor, Medium Rover, or Large Rover.

Drills dig out a large arched tunnel. The angle of digging is controlled by the camera angle, indicated by an artificial horizon displayed in the center of the digging plane. Angling downward with both a Drill and a Paver is a very easy way to descend through a planet's layers.

## Types of Drills

  Drill Strength 2 | 5,000
  Drill Strength 3 | 7,500

EXO Biofuel Obtainment Operation

The **EXO Biofuel Obtainment Operation** is the fourth community Limited Time Event in Astroneer. It was added with the BOO Update, and was accessible through the  EXO Request Platform. It ran from October 19, 2020 to November 30, 2020.

## Objective

The main objective of the event was to collect Spookysquash samples, Volatile Attactus and Elegant Spewflower Seeds, and combine them in a Cauldrangea to produce biofuels. The biofuels were sent up with an  EXO Request Platform to obtain various rewards.

## Notes

* You were required to send the resources through the  EXO Request Platform with the  Medium Gas Canister, which can hold 160 items of one resource at a time. You could also send 8 individual resources on the side of the  EXO Request Platform, resulting in a maximum capacity of 168 items per launch. Each launch of the rocket costs 500 Bytes, no matter if the rocket has a full load or not.
* Players could only send the currently requested resource in the rocket, and would not be able to send any other resources of other tiers of the event.

Alignment Mod

Tier
 Type
 Crafted at

The **Alignment Mod** is a Terrain Tool augment used to create flat planes.

## Uses

The Alignment Mod has four functions, based on the direction the camera is facing:

* **Normal Mode**: Facing the ground. Digging will be locked downwards in a straight line, perpendicular to the planet's core.
* **Build Mode**: Facing the ground, press "Add Terrain" key (default Left ). Building will be locked upwards in a straight line, perpendicular to the planet's core.
* **Wall Mode**: Facing the horizon, press "Flatten Terrain" key (default Left ). Makes a wall perpendicular to the planet's curve. The wall will always face the player.
* **Flat Mode**: Facing the ground at your feet, press "Flatten Terrain" key. This mode creates an ever-so-slightly curved ground that matches the Planet's curve. This mode, if used for the length of the circumference of the planet, will wrap back around to the starting point, creating a circle.
* Notably, the flat surface generated by the Alignment Mod is simply perpendicular to gravity at the **exact** polygon the flatten tool is focused on when the terrain tool activates. Consequently, at lower altitudes or closer to the cores of planets, it's necessary to occasionally pick new flattening locations in order to produce a true sphere, Otherwise, the closer to the core of a planet the Terrain Tool is, the less 'round' the surface produced will actually be.

## Notes

The Alignment Mod draws 0.5U/s, and will drain the backpack's battery if not connected to a source of power.
Horns

Horns are recreational items that are intended to be used on Rovers, but can be interacted with the Use key (`**F**` on PC).

## Crafted Horns

Crafted horns can be made at any time by the player in the Backpack, Small Printer, and Medium Printer.

* Small Trumpet Horn
* Medium Buggy Horn
* Large Fog Horn

* Small Trumpet Horn
* Medium Buggy Horn
* Large Fog Horn

## Discovered Horns

Discovered Horns are found in various locations on different planets. They are functionally the same as crafted horns, with different appearances and sounds.

* Small Squeaker Horn - Found on Backpacks of fallen astroneers
* Medium Truck Horn - Found on wrecks of Rovers
* Large Starship Horn - Found on wrecks of Rovers

* Small Squeaker Horn
* Medium Truck Horn
* Large Starship Horn

## Small Horn Instruments

Small Horns are able to change their sound to a different instrument when placed upon  Medium Resource Canisters,  Large Resource Canisters, or  Medium Gas Canisters filled with a resource. Every resource produces a different instrumental sound, with the pitch of the horn changed depending on the amount of the resource placed inside of the canister. Medium Canisters play notes from C3 to G5, while Large Resource Canisters play notes from C1 to C#5, with each note changing every 8 nuggets. Semitones may be produced when placing less than 8 nuggets to reach the next note, allowing for large canisters to provide a larger range of music.

### Instruments

The following table displays the instruments that each resource produces.

### Medium Canister Scale

EXO F.A.R.M.

The **EXO Fuel Acquisition, Renewal & Maintenance**, or EXO F.A.R.M., is the eighth Limited Time Event in Astroneer. It was added with the Fall Update, and is accessible through the  EXO Request Platform.

## Objective

The main objective of the event was to collect Sturdysquash samples, Volatile Attactus and Elegant Spewflower Seeds, and combine them in a Cauldrangea to produce biofuels. Each biofuel gave points based on the items used to create it. Players sent the biofuel up in a  EXO Request Platform, and could place the biofuels into a Medium Gas Canister for maximum point gain.

Compass

The **Compass** is used to help the player navigate the planet. Players can activate the compass by holding the control to open the Action Wheel (PC: , Xbox: , PS4: , Switch: ) and selecting the Compass icon. This can be used at any time, when the player is in or outside of a vehicle. The compass will display the direction of the Planet's north pole, indicated by the N in the inner circle.

## Navpoints

The compass will show the player multiple different navpoints, located relative to the player. Navpoints are displayed three-dimensionally, giving information about their horizontal position as well as vertical position. Any navpoints that are positioned outside the compass radius will be placed on the edge of the compass display, excluding navpoints that are only displayed when in range (such as EXO Caches).

## Notes

* The Size and Camera Tilt of the compass may be changed in the General section of the Options menu.
* The compass orientation is relative to gravity, so it will often display incorrectly when walking around the core of a planet.

## Trivia

* Before Patch 1.19.134, the compass only displayed when hovering the cursor over the player's astroneer, and only showed the four cardinal directions.
* The compass was not able to be shown inside of a vehicle until Patch 1.19.134, released on March 31st 2021.

* Can connect to  Tethers to provide Oxygen and Power to the player if an  Oxygenator is connected through the network.
* Can be attached to walls and ceilings.

## Notes

* It is the only type of Large Platform that can support two Tier-3 Modules.
Large Shuttle Seat

 Tier
 Type
 Crafted at

The **Large Shuttle Seat** was a Tier-3 vehicle attachment, taking up 4 slots. It could only be built on Large Rovers and Large Shuttles, while parked at a Vehicle Bay. It allowed up to three players to ride in a vehicle simultaneously. The Large Shuttle Seat could not be removed once attached to a Large Shuttle or Rover.

The seat was entered by holding E, while the seat is selected.

There were two different large seats in the game, however, their functions are interchangeable. Both large seats were locked to the respective Vehicle they were crafted on.

## Usage

The Large Shuttle Seat could be mounted and driven by up to three players, but in spite of its appearance, whoever first entered the vehicle controls it.

Generators

Generators are one of the types of Items you can craft which create Power, usually by burning some form of solid fuel, like Organic or Carbon.

## Small Generator

The **Small Generator** consumes stacks of Organic to produce 2U/s of Power.

This generator is unlocked by default, or during the tutorial, if it is not skipped.
You can place it in any single slot.

It will continue to generate power until the full stack of fuel is consumed unless it is toggled off, regardless of available Battery space or lack thereof. While turned on, it will pull Organic stacks from adjacent slots if it is attached to something with multiple slots.

## QT-RTG

The  QT-RTG is a small version of the RTG, allowing players to use them on their backpacks for 1U/s of Power while exploring away from their bases.

## Medium Generator

The **Medium Generator** consumes stacks of Carbon to produce 9U/s of Power.

Once researched, you can craft the Medium Generator at the Small Printer for 1 Aluminum and 1 Tungsten. You can place it on any two adjacent slots.

It will continue to generate until the entire stack of fuel is consumed, and will waste any energy that isn't stored in a battery if you do not toggle it off. It will pull Carbon from adjacent slots if possible.

## RTG

The **RTG**, or Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator, generates 4U/s of Power without consuming any fuel. Once crafted, it will generate this power indefinitely. It is a larger version of the QT-RTG.

A low-power version comes pre-installed in the Shelter. However, these cannot be removed.
Medium Battery

Tier
 Crafted at

The **Medium Battery** is a power storage item in Astroneer. It can hold more power than a Small Battery, and makes for a good reserve of power mid-game.

## Uses

* Power Throughput Rate: 5 U/s
* Power Capacity: 512 U
* The Medium Battery has 16 visible columns, each of which is equivalent to 32 Units.

Like the  Small Battery, Medium Batteries accumulate power when production of energy exceeds demand for energy. The Medium Battery will give away its stored energy whenever the network doesn't produce enough energy.

## Notes

* Traveling to different planets will make the yellow bars move off of the center of the battery. The moved bars can not be collided with, but do move the outline of the battery when hovered over. Extensive space travel worsens the effect. This can normally be fixed by either resetting the game or packing the battery, then unpacking it.
* Lacking visible horizontal lines to mark individual 'bars' found on the  Small Battery, each of the 16 vertical columns is effectively eight bars on a Small Battery.
* Accounting for size efficiency, it could ostensibly be useful in some situations to fill a  Medium Storage or a  Medium Storage Silo with Small Batteries if throughput is desired.

## Trivia

* Medium Batteries used to be able to be found deep in caves at the end of tunnels rarely.

**Glacio** is a Tundra Planet in Astroneer.

Glacio is the farthest planet away from the sun, it has a windswept thin atmosphere and icy mountains. The surface of the planet is full of many research items and research samples that can be researched for anywhere between 100 and 500 bytes each, making it one of the best planets to gather bytes. Hematite can be found all over the surface and often near the shuttle, making it much easier to harvest without the need of an Oxygenator, and the presence of Argon (100 PPU) allows one-planet Steel production. Ammonium and Graphite can also be found naturally, scattered across the cold surface, but at a much lesser rate than Hematite. Examples of Debris found on the surface are most commonly broken or working medium wind turbines, lessening the need to bring generators. Titanite can be found in large clusters underground along with Popcoral, which can kill in one puff if the player stands too close while breaking it. Glacio has lots of other Hazards.

Driving rovers around Glacio is fairly easy as the terrain is mostly flat. A drill and a paver may be required to traverse between different 'steps'.

Glacio contains one of the Galastropods, Bestefar

## Gateway Network

Information below contains information that may ruin your enjoyment of discovering the game's secrets for yourself. Proceed at your own risk.

 *Spoiler Warning: Information below contains information that may ruin your enjoyment of discovering the game's secrets for yourself. Proceed at your own risk.*

Glacio has six Gateway Chambers, each requiring 26U/s of power for 30 seconds to be activated. Three Medium Generators on a Large Platform B is the easiest way to achieve this. At least one must be activated before the player can access the Gateway Engine in the core of the planet.

Once a Gateway Chamber has been activated, the Gateway Engine opens in the core. Placing a single  Diamond in one of the slots reveals the Geometric Triptych. Placing the Geometric Triptych in the slot on the opposite side will activate the engine, revealing the Odd Stone and allowing teleportation to the core as well as revealing the inactive node for the Gateway Portal if it has not yet been discovered.

 Tier
 Crafted at

**Dynamite** is an explosive item in Astroneer that can be used to destroy items and create holes in the terrain.

## Source

Dynamite can sometimes be found on the backpacks of dead explorers or other wreckage.

## Use

When placed, the Dynamite will do nothing, but hovering the cursor over it and pressing  on PC, or X on console will play a series of beeps before the dynamite explodes. The explosion may be fatal to players within the explosion radius depending on circumstances (see Notes).

* Destroys any modules, platforms, trees, and other game objects the dynamite attaches to, with the exception of the Starting Shelter.
* Terrain in a small sphere around the explosion site will be destroyed instantly.
* Resources within the blast radius will be harvested.
* EXO Caches within the blast radius will be broken open.
* Putting Dynamite into a Shredder or a Smelting Furnace will cause it to explode, destroying the Shredder or Smelting Furnace.
* Dynamite, Hydrogen, Methane, Sulfur and Hydrazine can chain explosions to one another. These explosions get larger and larger as more explosives are added.
* When Hydrogen, Methane, Sulfur or Hydrazine explode with dynamite, the resulting explosion has a blue hue.

One main use of Dynamite is to reduce various wreckage objects into smaller Debris, which then can be collected and processed into tradeable Scrap using the Shredder modules. This is the only way to remove and process Detritus (Extra-Large Debris) into Scrap. Another use of it is to crack EXO Caches.

## Notes

* Dynamite can be attached to objects without using attachment slots. This allows players to transport as much Dynamite as they need without sacrificing space for other items.
* Unlike real Dynamite there is no threat of premature detonation regardless of how much you throw it or drop it.
* At full health, it takes at least 2 Dynamite or other exploding items (such as some gases or Hydrazine) in range of a player to cause death, and explosives in the backpack count towards this. There is a situation where a single Dynamite can kill the player if in range of the explosion, it is when cracking open an EXO Cache.

Mining

Mining is an essential mechanic of the game although mining is not easy to get from alive you must have a way to get oxygen/to keep oxygen for a long period of time, light, power and storing it rovers and the terrain tool is a recommended path to mining due to the ability of ramps with terrain tool and the oxygen and power and storage the rover provides
Large Starship Horn

Tier

The Large Starship Horn is a recreational item in Astroneer.

## Source

The **Large Starship Horn** can be found on wrecks of starships and on large rovers scattered around certain planets.

## Uses

The **Large Starship Horn** can be used to honk at other players while driving around on rovers. Placing it on one of the front slots of the rover and pressing the corresponding context keys (`**C**` or `**V**` for keyboard, `**XBONE\_LB**` or `**XBONE\_RB**` for Xbox, or `**PS4\_L1**` or `**PS4\_R1**` for PS4) will activate the horn.

While on the ground, the horn may be activated by hovering and pressing the Use key (`**F**`, `**XBONE\_Y**`, or `**PS4\_Triangle**` for keyboard, Xbox, and PS4 respectively).

## Trivia

The Large Starship Horn will play a series of tunes that sound like the theme for The Shining.[*citation needed*]
The Large Starship Horn makes a very cool noise when you play it, at the noise brings great joy to anyone who hears it. [*citation needed*] it is also the largest Horn in the game and is currently unprintable by any of the Printers.

Large Printer

Tier
 Crafted at

The **Large Printer** is one of the Tier-3 Modules in Astroneer. It is used to fabricate large and extra large Modules and Vehicles.

## Uses

The Large Printer has the following uses:

* Power Consumption Rate: 5 U/s

## Trivia

* Before Patch 1.0, the Large Printer was the Vehicle Bay. Large vehicles and attachments for them were fabricated at the Vehicle Bay, and it also acted as a landing spot for all shuttles, before the introduction of the Landing Pad.
* Extra Large items take a long time to print. The time remaining can be based on the number of bits of resource nuggets remaining on the printer.

Nanocarbon Alloy

Tier

**Nanocarbon Alloy** is a composite resource in Astroneer. The player is required to perform several steps involving the Smelting Furnace, Atmospheric Condenser, and Chemistry Lab in order to obtain this resource.

## Source

Nanocarbon Alloy may also be rarely found in Wrecks on Atrox.

## Uses

**Nanocarbon Alloy** is used to craft the following items:

## Notes

* Nanocarbon Alloy is the most time-consuming and resource-intensive resource to craft, requiring four of the atmospheric resources, and requiring visiting three of the planets for the necessary resources; Sylva for Hydrogen and Nitrogen, Glacio for Iron, Titanium and Argon, and Atrox for Helium, with the rest being found on all planets. A trip to Desolo or Calidor is also required for Wolframite to build a necessary Chemistry Lab.
* Hydrogen and Nitrogen are also on Vesania together with Titanium, but a trip to Atrox and Glacio or Novus for the Iron and the Helium is still required.
* EXO Dynamics Research Aids in the Outer Core layer of Atrox require Nanocarbon Alloy to open.
