What is the point of the game Astroneer?
The player is tasked with colonizing planets, creating structures, and collecting resources. The character is called an Astroneer and the player can travel to planets to activate cores and complete the game. The goal is to explore each of the 7 planets (actually, it’s 5 planets and 2 moons), fetch artifacts from each of their cores an deliver them to a final destination in order to finish the game. You are able to continue playing after that, if you want to.All you do on these lifeless planets is collect, build, suck up resources and fly away to do it all over again. There is no combat in Astroneer.The player is tasked with colonizing planets, creating structures, and collecting resources.

Can you build in Astroneer?
Base Building After landing, the player’s first priority should be to get some basic modules set up. Typically this includes a Research Chamber and, after obtaining enough bytes to unlock, a Smelting Furnace. Exploring around the base is a good way to get enough Resin and Compound to start out. Start by collecting Resin and Compound, which are usually very nearby your starting point and also the basic Resources for building, both of which can be quickly found either in Deposits or inside broken space shuttles. Use your Terrain Tool to mine them up.
