In the ASTRONEER: Megatech DLC, players unlock the ability to build massive Megastructure projects that will test their Basebuilding skills using new and existing technology. Each Megastructure will have its own unique identity and gameplay, unlocking new possibilities and rewards. Harness the power of Megatech to take Basebuilding and Automation to a whole new level! This DLC will be completely compatible with existing saves, and builds off of any progress you’ve already made in game, feel free to start fresh, or load up your existing saves and start building!
In addition, this DLC will be released alongside a free update for all players. The free update will include new items and the ability to create a Megastructure that will allow automated interplanetary transportation. That means you will be able to move resources and technology between planets!
Build Megastructure Projects
A new level of basebuilding has been unlocked in Astroneer. Pick the perfect spot, launch a Construction Anchor via a very safe space catapult, and then start amassing resources to feed to a mega drone! Gather resources the old fashioned way, with your terrain tool, or use more advanced strategies to automate production and watch your Megastructures build themselves. Every megastructure has unique benefits, boosts, and boons that will help you on your journey to master the solar system. This update contains 5 Megastructure projects, some free, and some part of the DLC:
1. The Intermodal Terminal (free for all players) – Your personal shipping hub in the solar system. Send items and resources between planets via three shuttles, and even use automation tools like rails, sensors, and auto arms to automatically ship the things you need to the places you want them.
2. Distribution Launcher System (free for all players) – A foundational Megastructure that helps you begin your mega projects. Load it up with the resources necessary to launch an anchor to your desired spot, then let this high speed launcher deliver it with precision.
3. The Biodome (part of the Megatech DLC) - This megastructure is all about the green. Use this advanced technology to automate flora generation and gain unique benefits with Bio-huts, add-ons that can expand the functionality of the main dome.
4. The Orbital Platform (part of the Megatech DLC) - This is the big one! The Orbital Platform is all about terrain and building space bases. Expand the bounds of the platform with terrain blocks that are completely flat to get creative, or build the space base of your dreams. You can also modify the asteroid at the center of the platform!
5. The Museum (part of the Megatech DLC) - The Museum is all about prestige. Have you been making thousands of Nanocarbon Alloy nuggets for show? Well now you can put them somewhere that will track that hard work. Build automation bases to contribute bytes, resources, and power that will be tracked for all to see in the museum. You can also display your rare collections of items here.
Quality of life and new items
In addition to the aforementioned free Megastructures, this update also has new items and fixes for all players! Players will now be able to organize their bases with icon signs, elevated walkways, and an automatic tether dropping item!
Cosmetic Rewards
This DLC also contains exclusive cosmetic items!
