By Rohit George Published 01/26/23 EST

ASTRONEER received a major update that introduced new changes and UX improvements, along with several bug fixes.

Fault Finders and Advanced Trade

The latest update added some changes to Fault Finders and Advanced Tools. After the completion of [ERROR#%//HELP], players can craft and deploy Fault Finder items. The activated Fault Finders, which are used to store a [ERROR//%!DENIED], can also be used on the Trade Platform to acquire interesting items.

Location and Travel Notifications

Now, when players enter a region on a planet, they will receive a brief location notification on the top of the screen. The current location can be redisplayed by opening the compass. Also, a travel notification will pop up on the top of the screen when traveling to another planet.

Astroneer’s Fourth Anniversary

To celebrate Astroneer’s fourth anniversary, the developers introduced a new cosmetic for players to enjoy! To unlock exclusive cosmetic items, players are required to log in during the month of February.
