Salvage items are worth different point amounts when shipped: Astroneers are encouraged to employ the approach that is the most fun for them and ship their collected exports off using the EXO Request Platform! The EXO Salvage Initiative returns for a limited time! EXO accepts a variety of salvage types which can either be collected from exploration or crafted and destroyed or shredded. New Limited Time Bundle – EXO TECH BUNDLE Trophy/Achievement names and descriptions have been updated with new translations in Japanese All researchable resources have had their research times changed to 5 minutes total with Byte values adjusted accordingly.Composite resources now have Byte values assigned and can be researched in the Research Chamber.Landing zones generated from player-created Landing Pads (including the starting pad) now have a unique cylindrical shape, icon, and labelįor gamepads, a prompt appears to notify players that they must use the virtual cursor to select a landing zone Landing zones now also have tooltips that appear on hover / cursor select Landing zones have animated visuals added along with beacons to aid in more easily locating and selecting them The player experience when orbiting a planet and selecting landing zones has received an update to improve communication and comprehension Rovers now maintain a steady speed while drilling, instead of increasingly gaining speed downhill, and outpacing the drill in the process.ĭrilling is now clamped between a maximum upwards and downwards tilt, in order to prevent the rover from flipping over, or losing traction.ĭrills are automatically disabled if the rover starts to point vertically up or down.

This means the tilt indicator on the drill UI no longer drifts as the drill moves to align with it. The drill aiming UI now accurately represents the angle of the drill relative to the rover. The camera no longer loses sight of the player when moving at very high speeds. The camera now responds intelligently to movement up or down slopes when following the player. The camera handles tight spaces more smoothly, with reduced instances of rapidly zooming in and out. T1 Oxygenator, when slotted into the player’s backpack while on, will fade out its audio loop while remaining operational. Miscellaneous Improvements Audio Improvements (Note: we didn’t test everything, so let us know if you are having trouble with a specific mouse or k/b!) The team also tested these changes with the Xbox Adaptive controller which should work great on Xbox and PC. We tested a lot of hardware (thanks so much Q/A team <3) to ensure that you can remap lots of actions to any mouse button or any keyboard input.

Players on Mouse and Keyboard can now set Camera Orbit functionality to a toggleĪdditionally, adding Mouse and Keyboard support to console means people can use a variety of peripherals if they need.

Players on controller can now set Virtual Cursor to a toggle.Support for remapping of extra mouse buttons has been added.Mouse and Keyboard support has been added for players on Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.Players can now remap controller inputs in the Controller Settings tab of the menu.The menu has been updated to include separate tabs for Keyboard / Mouse and Controller settings on a per-platform basis (moved from the general Options menu where they previously lived).Of particular note, you can now make some “hold” actions a toggle to help make sure you can play with less need to hold multiple buttons down for long periods of time. We did this mainly for accessibility purposes, if you are a player who needs to move buttons around to make sure you can enjoy Astroneer, this one is for you <3. You can now use mouse and keyboard on console and can remap a TON of inputs to completely customize your experience. This is a long time coming but we did a bunch of work to add (honestly.) basic functionality for controls across all platforms.
