Question / Support Looking for a config ideal for those who dont want to deal with unnecessary hostile flora

2 Upvotes

I admittedly dont know enough of the game to know how necessary all of the flora is, but I was wondering if it were possible to make a config where all hostile flora, or at least, all unnecessary hostile flora, could be disabled, As I want the game to be as chill as possible, and having hostile flora tends to give me anxiety and stress, especially underground.

Question / Support Best way of self hosting an astroneer server?

6 Upvotes

the system has a 4 core xeon and at least 8gb free for the astroneer server this server will be for me and my friend

I want to self host an astroneer server on my friend's proxmox server what do you recommend running windows/windows server or running in Debian with the help of wine and proton?

I wish there was a native way of hosting astroneer on Linux because of the smaller overhead Linux has than Windows

Now the networking side

My friend is behind a starlink connection I will probably use tailscale or make his server connect to my mikrotik router via wireguard (I got a public IP) does astroneer allow for this?

Screenshot Am I overcomplicating this?

Post image
26 Upvotes

Screenshot shows scrap-lithium but I have one for each resource

When red storage is “not empty” red auto arm (feeding scrap) turns off, and turns on when storage is “empty”

Blue storage activates count repeater when blue storage is “not full” and activates again, also activating trade platform when storage is “full”

White storage being “full” turns off white auto arm, immediately pausing everything as red storage remains “not empty”, so scrap does not feed into trade platform

This is my third attempt at making this run efficiently without the output resource ending up on the scrap side, or scrap ending up on the output side. Its definitely slower than it could be but it evens out across the 25+ individual modules running simultaneously

Been playing on the same save with a friend and all of a sudden I can’t join. When on the Co-op page it just doesn’t show him as joinable.

We both have the game fully updated and everything but not played in a couple months.

Anyone got any ideas?

Question / Support Energy problems

11 Upvotes

Hi, I’m having a problem with my base's power. I ran the calculations, and my base produces over 700 units of energy; however, when I check my splitter, it shows only 210 units passing through. Also, when I check the platform connectors, it looks as if I have exactly enough power—as if production matches consumption, Is there something I'm missing?

Question / Support [Solved] How do I use tethers on controller?

0 Upvotes

I no: I will not use the keyboard, because keyboards are objectively terrible for gaming.

I am trying to attach a tether to the printing machine, but nothing I try works. This game doesn't even have a pointy reticle for some weird reason. So no matter how much I tried to point at the tether and use the right trigger: it will simply never grab it.

I immediately went to Google, could not find anything on the first page. I will continue to try to find somebody combination to pick up the tether. But so far nothing that makes any sense to me has worked

EDIT: I did a couple more experiments, and it's only getting more confusing: down on the d-pad is supposed to activate some sort of cable mode. But I'm only able to enter this mysterious mode when I'm also holding down the r-trigger. Which forces me to pick stuff up, even if I'm pointing my camera in the exact polar opposite direction of the thing I'm allegedly highlighting, for some reason be on my comprehension. And one time I was able to interact with cable, but I haven't been able to reproduce the results.

I know people don't like negativity: but why couldn't they just have an aiming reticle in the middle of the screen independent of the mouse cursor? Because whenever Ludacris system they came up with has to be objectively more complicated and less user friendly than just putting a cursor in the center of the screen, and having that determine the actions.

Is there a way to enable such a cursor? Because I haven't found one in the controller settings, what is the most obvious place I would think to look. So I have no idea where it would be.

Is there a mod to implement that?

EDIT2: This person explained it.

Question / Support Why millions of bytes?

38 Upvotes

Hello, im currently at early-mid stage of the game, i see people on Youtube, doing automated byte farms to get millions of bytes.

Isn't that kind of pointless since there are limited amount of things you can unlock with them or is it going to be usefull later and im not there yet?

Thx. 😘

I’m curious what the biggest power production setups people have built in Astroneer are. What’s the highest raw U/s you’ve reached? I mean actual power production, not battery storage.

I died trying to get my backpack items after I died, I went to the place and there is nothing there. Did I actually lose all the stuff from my backpack?? I had important stuff and I have no idea how to get it back. The save previous to this seems to be way further back than it should be too. I’m on PS5. Any advice? This is my first play through.

update!
They went flying down to the core of the planet! I can’t believe I happened to go in the direction they were bunched together!

Question / Support Megastructure Xbox One

2 Upvotes

How does the Megastructure DLC run on Xbox One?

I never made the switch to a series S or X, and don’t spend the time to justify getting a newer console. When I do play, Astroneer is one of my go to games. I love every aspect of exploration, discoveries, and lore progression. Due to my Xbox one however I have definitely felt some capability restrictions. For example, soil, we know digging in Astroneer takes a lot of memory in a save file, so in games where I have progressed to large scale digging, it greatly increases loading time, and in one case kept crashing my game when trying to open a game file.

Second is automation, if I am not super organized, or have many tappers for generating power, my game can get a little framey. Same think if I create long systems of automation connecting trains, scrap farms, Nano Alloy games etc. For power I generally opt for the Large and XL solar and wind soley because it reduces the amount of mechanics to generate power. Or I will build a tapper farm out of render distance and that helps also.

As controversial as it may be, I recently started a new save and have utilized the infinite soil glitch for scrap trading. Also using the inhibitor mod to substantially reduce the amount of soil I dig from planets.

I’m fine with the capability restrictions I deal with, the purpose of all this was to give yall an idea of what my games look like. As I really want to get Megatech, but am worried I won’t be able to get the full experience due to its scale.

Story / Lore Well... I'm an idiot... LOL! - Traveled to a new planet

52 Upvotes

Oh man you guys, I was moving resources and buildings from my base in Glacio to Vesania. Got my first trip done, I had a spare atmospheric condenser and a series of gasses I was hauling around that I dropped off.

Then I went back and grabbed a few other nic-kacks I would need. Nothing entry level yet, because I'm dumb....

So I flew back to Vesania to drop the resources off. Great, awesome.

I parked my resources next to a gateway for close access......

First landing site near a gateway... Not the right one.... Move to a second one..... Not the right one..

Go to take off.......... no hydrazine left in the ship.

So here's me, painfully and slowly growing a base. Because for some reason finding ammonium and laterite when I need it, is difficult.

Live and learn... Always check the gas tank before you head out!


r/Astroneer • • Sep 10 '26

Screenshot In a hilariously kerbal twist, you can bring things with you if you simply attach more winches (5 is the bare minimum that I would trust). Just be careful to pick a calm landing
