I only use the shuttle to reach new planets and rely on the Gateways to return to previously visited planets for materials when needed. I have played through start to finish many times, and fairly quickly get into my rhythm - The Large Shuttle loaded with everything to establish a fully functional base with all equipment and the largest vehicle train with paver to go any and everywhere. I suppose my issue is with the advanced resources required for construction, and that they are only available to fabricate the Auto Extractor in the late game, and my real wish is that a Small and / or Medium Extractor were in the game, and made from early game resources. It will work for an extended period of time while you're free to collect other things or just digging up soil for the DE - Very well said. Especially when you're going for a good amount of composite materials - getting all of them manually would take a lot of spelunking, but you can set up one or two Extractors working on a supply of Carbon and a Generator on a single platform, so getting the Extractor itself into place is the only hurdle. In natural order of planets, Extractors need you to get to Glacio for Iron, and if you do obtain them by that progression, they make sense. Originally posted by DivineEvil:The thing about the Extractor for me, is that it frees me up for other tasks, so I don't have to bother to chew up an entire mountain of soil to get less resources than a Medium Container can hold. To recap, the existing Humongous Auto Extractor is a fun toy to play with after having already completed most all phases of the game and just looking for a way to pass time, and IMHO contributes Zero to advancing game progress - not necessarily too little, but definitely too late.Īt any rate, thanks for the consideration, and please do not construe this as 'Hating' on this super game. And if they existed, the materials required for construction would be practical, accessible 'early game' resources more easily found / crafted. ** I sincerely wish that Small or Medium Extractors had also been considered & were accessible early game, so that they might raise the fun bar (by lowering the 'grind' bar) for resource gathering. Naturally, this is regarding Adventure Mode exclusively, as I have no experience in the no-challenge Creative Mode of the game. IMHO, on the surface, the new Automation Update looks brilliant, but the fact that the Auto Extractor relies exclusively on end-game resources to construct makes it essentially useless fluff.īy the time one can acquire the complex compounds and rare resources required for construction, the game is basically over. Have played Astroneer for some time now, 100% Achieves, but still drop back in for Events and Major Updates, whilst accruing over 400hrs in Astroneer.
