Landing Pad
The Landing Pad is a structure in Astroneer. A special Landing Pad is spawned next to the starting Shelter when starting a new game. Both starting and crafted Landing Pads mostly behave the same, allowing players to land at them and interact with the Missions Panel. The special starting Landing Pad and starting Shelter however can not be packaged, moved, scrapped, or destroyed.

Uses
Landing Pads create a new Landing Site for shuttles which can be placed at will, freeing the player's shuttle traffic from dependence on natural Landing Sites. From orbit, Landing Pads look distinct from Landing Sites, displaying a cylindrical target rather than a domed one.
Landing Pads include a Mission Panel that allows players to check on missions and receive rewards for completing them. When starting a new save, players may use the panel to receive rewards similar to the original starting package, which includes a Small Printer and an Oxygenator.
In co-op sessions, the visiting players will land at the starting Shelter's Landing Pad upon joining.
Crafted landing pads, when unpackaged, will display as a wide cylinder with an orange or green light in the center. The landing pad can only be deployed when the center light is green. If the light is orange, then there is an obstruction of terrain blocking the expansion of the platform.
Missions
- Forward Progress requires the player to place a Landing Pad on another planet besides Sylva.
- Safe as Houses requires the player to place a Shelter or a Landing Pad on every planet. The Field Shelter counts as a shelter.
Notes
- Despite being made at the Large Printer, the Landing Pad is only Large (rather than Extra-Large), and Medium when packaged.
