Astroneer is a rather relaxed space survival game available for Xbox one and on PC. With the game being in early access we can expect a lot of patches and updates during its journey to becoming a fully fledged game.
On the 16th of February System Era released a new Patch 125. This patch introduced some new items, fixes and new visuals as well as fixing some of the bugs and issues players were having.
The new content was as follows;
- Dynamite now craft-able from backpack
- New dynamite art, fx, audio
- Dynamite can now be used to destroy base buildings and other objects
- Added character idle animations
- Added 9 new discover-able wrecks, including their collectable items within
- Additional organic research items added
- Updated Dropship model art
- Updated RCS thruster effects for Dropship
- Updated model art for Tradeplatform
- Updated model and FX art for Smelter
- Added new refinery / smelter audio
- Added sandboxing of saved games when running the Steam Experimental branch.
- Improved game pad support on launch menu
- Performance improvement: Added a system for fully despawning decorator sets as you move away from them.
The game saw fixes of;
- Researching an item when you have already researched all recipes will no longer “use up” that item in regards to when future updates add new recipes. It will now also give you a resource.
- Fixed several issues with how decorator states were saved and restored.
- Fixed race condition causing occasional anomalous terrain generation.
- Seed fixes, including shift-click issue and seeds growing in backpack
- Fix save game issue where conduits don’t attach after saving a leaf and building platform
- Fix save game issue where conduits nubs don’t disappear after a save game and using dynamite on the leaf
- Updated oxygen tank fill looping sound. Fixed Xbox bug that caused it top play at full volume.
The thing i enjoy most about the game preview program is that the developers are willing to listen to the community and implement ideas they like to make the game something we want to play. With all the other games set in space or survival out there, Astroneer offers a present, peaceful experience and is definitely worth picking up.
If your interested in giving Astroneer and try, its available here, you can also play it using a free trial.
