System Era Softworks, the developer of Astroneer, just released a new update which adds the new Biofuel Obtainment Operation. The update brings in a new plant species called Cauldrangea, which is capable of generating potential biofuels from other flora. Be careful when you approach the new plant, as it will be protected by new dangerous hazards.
The new event rewards include:
- Hallowed Helm Hat: Received upon completion of the Squasholine Stage.
- Endless Visor: Received upon completion of the Attapetrol Stage
- PUM-KN Shelter Module: Received upon completion of the Noxothane Stage
- Randomized Rewards
- Incremental Rewards
More details on the items that are available on the store can be found in-game or in the patch notes.
