In a world, where you feel you’re being ‘forced’ to learn how to use Unity and mess with 3D modeling JUST to upload someone else’s work into a video game.. you can’t help but miss the times of just being a gamer (and not having to deal with this).
\nAnd it seems that Astroneer<\/em> dev company ‘System Era’ has “come to the rescue”, with an update labeled “the biggest update to date”.. even bigger than the Research Update.<\/p>\n

I’m talking about the ‘Basebuilding Update’ that was just released this afternoon, without warning. The only way I even knew about this, is from a trailer<\/a> they released on their official Youtube channel. It visually goes over the update of what you can do.. and you can do a LOT with this thing!
\nBase Building has clearly been overhauled for the better (or maybe for the worse, depending how you might look at it).
\nAnd as a bonus for people with save games, they have tried everything humanly possible to save you old save games. When loading up an old save, it will try to convert your current base (and bases on other planets), into the new format. But IMO, to get the best experience of the new update, a new game is recommended.<\/p>\n

After playing through the early stages of the game for awhile, this is what I’ve found (that is so much different compared to what I remember).
\n-When landing on Terran, the pod you landed on turns into a large realistic habitat (exactly what was seen in the latest SCS Vlog).
\n-The Habitat has three lights that automatically turn on at night, and off in the day.
\n-There’s a new thing that comes down with you. This is your Landing Pad. It’s used to call down your first small platform (and a new module: the Fabricator). This same pad is also used for your invited friends in Multiplayer.
\n-Modules (aka the Smelter and the Research Chamber), require the Fabricator (placed on the small platform).
\n-When a module is fully 3D printed by the Fabricator, it becomes packaged. This can be placed on a Medium Platform and then unpackaged by holding down the E key. It is unknown (at this time) if the modules can be re-packaged.
\n-All modules are now using the same mechanics as the speed of the Research Chamber. Aka, they require constant power in order to run at an efficient speed.
\n-Organic placed next to a Small Generator will now automatically be placed on the generator(if it’s not currently running).<\/p>\n

So here’s a list of issues I found. Said issues might not bug you, but they need to be mentioned;
\n-While it was possible to place things when sitting in the old Habitat, this is no longer possible with the new one.
\n-The two notches on the new Habitat(to replace the ones of the old pod), currently do not allow resources to be placed on them. But I’m sure this will be fixed in the near future.
\n-You have to hold your E key to enter\/exit the Habitat (instead of just tapping it). I would assume this works the same way for seats. You also have to hold your Q key to start research.<\/p>\n

..And for some quite hilarious ‘bugs’;
\n-It’s possible to carry a medium platform with you (for long distances), and place it down to receive oxygen. Never having to use Tethers much?
\n-The Research Chamber will work.. even when there’s no power (or even when disconnected from the Habitat). Lol, what?<\/p>\n

And that’s about it for me. Overall, nice update. I can feel a lot of time and effort was put into it. Don’t particularly like having to hold down buttons now, but it’s something I’ll get used to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
