Updates

EXO F.A.R.M. Event

Grab your fellow Astroneers and use your expertise to assist EXO Dynamics in the Fuel Acquisition, Renewal & Maintenance event! Seasonal Sturdysquash have sprouted in the solar system and it’s up to you to cultivate and harvest them. Combine their valuable produce inside unique Cauldrangea plants to create valuable biofuel to send to EXO.

  • Find Wild Sturdysquash that can be harvested for their seeds on Sylva, Calidor, or Atrox; use these seeds to grow offspring that yield Sturdysquash Samples
    • Each of the featured planets have a unique variety of Wild Sturdysquash which yield different quantities of seeds
    • Sturdysquash Samples can be placed in Medium and Large Resource Canisters to keep your farms tidy
  • Locate Cauldrangea plants on Sylva, Calidor, or Atrox – but beware of the hazards that tend to grow nearby! Use the Cauldrangeas to produce one of three types of biofuel.
    • Compass navpoints appear to indicate nearby Cauldrangea.
    • Cauldrangea can be interacted with to cycle through their current biofuel recipe for production.
    • Each of the featured planets have a unique variety of Cauldrangea with different production speeds.

Different biofuels can be produced using different ingredients; the rarer the ingredients, the more the produced biofuel is worth:

EXO Dynamics rewards biofuel contributions with:

  • 800 Points – Biofuel Throwback Bundle
    • Contains cosmetics rewarded from previous years:
    • Hat: ”Hallowed Helm”
    • Visor: ”Spooky”
    • Visor: ”Pumpkin”
    • Visor: ”Endless”
    • Palette: ”Spooky”
  • 2400 Points – Emote: ”Giddyup”
  • 5600 Points – Cosmetic T4 Shelter Throwback: “PUM-KN Shelter”
  • 8000 Points – Hat: ”Honest Living”

Useful incremental rewards are included along the way to bolster your harvesting capabilities. Randomized recurring rewards are available after completing the event – including QT-RTGs & EXO Chips! – for those who want to continue to produce biofuels.

Proximity Repeater

A new activation item is available in the Catalog. Unlike other sensors and repeaters, the Proximity Repeater activates all items within its radius instead of requiring the use off segment pins. This makes it great for quick automation setups, or in cases where wired connections aren’t practical, such as planting seeds, scanning research items, or bulk packaging and unpackaging.

Item Information:

  • Byte Cost: 700
  • Recipe: 1x Zinc
  • Printer: Small

Trade Platform Updates

The Trade Platform has received an overhaul to expand its capabilities – it also has a new look!

  • The Trade Platform now allows players to trade Astronium for a variety of valuable items in addition to its previous Scrap trades.
  • The control panel interface has received an update to allow for selecting between Scrap, Astronium, and their various trades items.
  • The base model and associated rocket have been updated to bring them more in line with other EXO modules.
  • Slotting system behavior has been updated to allow for better loading / unloading when coupled with platforms and storage.
  • Minor text changes have been made to the description and Astropedia entry to tie this module less exclusively to Scrap.

Tutorial Removal

The tutorial is no longer available and cannot be accessed from the Main Menu.

The Achievement/Trophy “EXO Dynamics Training Seal of Approval” is now rewarded on completion of the mission “Printing Up”. This has no effect on players who already earned this.

Previously completing the “Printing Up” mission before this update will not unlock the Achievement/Trophy.  If you did not unlock the Achievement/Trophy for “EXO Dynamics Training Seal of Approval” by completing the tutorial, you would now need to complete the “Printing Up” mission to unlock it, even if you had previously done the mission before this update. This may require starting a new Adventure game.

Astropedia Update

A new Astropedia page has been added explaining Damage, Respawning, and Retrieving Supplies.

Tether Toppers

Fall harvest-themed decorations now automatically adorn your tether posts. Enjoy festive, glowing gourds as you trot across the landscape!

Steam Cloud Saves

Steam Cloud Saves have been enabled allowing users to back up 10,000 files or 1GB (Whichever occurs first)

Due to how cloud saves are handled users must choose to upload or delete mismatch save data, there is currently no option to merge the cloud with your local saves if they differ. Saves with the same name could cause a conflict, we recommend giving each save a unique name prior to uploading files to the cloud. Check out the Steam Cloud FAQ here.

Save data will be checked upon launch and uploaded to the cloud after exiting the game

Uploaded cloud saves can be viewed and downloaded online after signing into the Steam webpage and navigating to this address: https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorage
