Stationeers received a major update focused on a new addition and a preview of the upcoming changes to trading. The developers also fixed several in-game issues.
New Landing Pads
The latest update features a new modular landing pad system that replaced the previous landing pad structure. Players need to build a Landing Pad Center surrounded by landing pad pieces to set up a new landing pad. Also, it should be at least 3x3 with a Data and Power module.
New Communications Game Loop
New Communications Game Loop revisits how traders are tracked down. The searching and contacting of signals will be separated with the introduction of new tiers of satellite dishes having variable power ranges. The hardest contacts may require tracking or immense power expenditure for quick communication.
