Missions
Missions are tasks for players to work towards, that help to guide them through the game, while offering various rewards along the way. The Missions Panel offers various missions to do, such as collecting resources, crafting certain items, or interacting with various items in some way.
Completing missions gives rewards to the player that can assist with progression in the game. Rewards range from Bytes, Schematics, and various Items, such as the very rare QT-RTG or
EXO Chips.
Mission Log
The Mission Log is attached to any Landing Pad,
Logistics Depots, and the Sun Room, and can be interacted with to bring up the Mission Log panel. The player can use this to keep track of missions and collect rewards.
It is also possible to check the Mission Log any time, using the key for the action wheel (PC: Hold , Xbox: Hold
, PS4: Hold
, Switch: Hold
) and selecting the missions option. A second possibility to bring it up, is to click on the right side of the backpack. The Mission Log can be used to collect Byte rewards anywhere, but items can only be collected at the Landing Pads.
The log has five sections:
- Rewards is for completed missions that have rewards waiting to be claimed.
- Tracked is for missions that the player has decided to track. This allows for easier tracking when multiple missions are active. The player can untrack these missions, which moves them back to Active.
- Active is for all missions that are currently active. These missions can be tracked and moved to Tracked.
- Reclaimable is for recalling items that only have one instance to any landing pad.
- Complete is for all missions that have been completed and rewards have already been claimed.

Glitchwalkers Missions
Pre-Expansion
Astroneer: Glitchwalkers added new missions to the base game upon purchase of the expansion. Completing these missions allow players to access the Aeolus system when creating new games.
Mission | Objectives | Description | Rewards | Prerequisites |
---|---|---|---|---|
GLITCHWALKERS | Complete mission A Core Concept | Thank you for purchasing Astroneer: Glitchwalkers. Start your Glitchwalkers journey after completing the mission A Core Concept. | N/A | Purchase Astroneer: Glitchwalkers |
Is This Thing On? | Push the Green Button | Testing, testing... Heya, pal. Am I comin’ through okay? Can you believe this is the only way we can talk inside the simulation? Not the easiest way to communicate... Push the green button on your PDA so I know you're readin’ me. |
N/A | GLITCHWALKERS |
Heya | Push the Green Button | Oh good, glad my messages are getting to ya. I’m Frank Capiano, by the way. Used to be Head of Maintenance for the ESS Elysium. I got stuck in the Astroneer Training Program like the rest of the crew. Uh...really hope you already knew that. That little rabbit, EVA, does a way better job of explainin' this stuff. |
N/A | Is This Thing On? |
Maintenance Issue | Push the Green Button | Anyhoo, we got us a situation. There's a hacker that's been messin' with the ATP...calls themself “Bl!tZ.” Normally, EVA'd be handling this kinda trouble as she's our new Caretaker AI, but Bl!tZ took her offline. Bl!tZ has been destabilizing the ATP all over the place, and I really need your help. If we don't do something, the whole simulation could collapse! That'd be the end of all of us! |
N/A | Heya |
Storm's a Brewing | Interact with a Landing Pad terminal | To make things worse, Bl!tZ brought the Storm System back online. Storms have been outta commission ever since the Elysium crash. The system ain't designed to handle Storms anymore, and they're causing power surges that strain the sim's infrastructure. If we knew the hacker's location, I might be able to do something to stabilize the Storm Code. Problem is, I can't find their instance. But if we can grab data from one of the Storms and trace the signal back—BAM! We got Bl!tZ's ATP address. I made a gadget that'll help you with that. I'll send it to your Landing Pad. |
![]() Schematic: RUBY |
Maintenance Issue |
No Place Like Home | Use RUBY in a Storm found on any planet other than Sylva to collect Encrypted Data from a Hotspot Process Encrypted Data using Research Chamber |
Introducing...RUBY. Don’t ask what it stands for ‘cause I’m still workshoppin’ it. I'm seeing Storms on all the planets but Sylva. Inside a Storm, look for Hotspots, points where the data is swirlin' around all condensed-like. Place RUBY in one of those and turn her on. She’ll grab us the info we need. After that, pop the data she collects into a Research Chamber, and I'll see what I can do. Be careful. Those Storms look dangerous. I don't know what they might do to ya. Good luck, pal. |
Storm's a Brewing | |
Bootstrapped for Cache | Push the Green Button | Oof! Those Storms are brutal! If I had a little time, I could cook up some way to keep you safe from their effects... But hey, you did it! We got a lead on the hacker thanks to that Storm Data. I found Bl!tZ’s ATP address, but it’s all squirrelly. While it seems to be a legit instance, the ID keeps changing. Security seems tight... We're gonna need a backdoor to get in. Gimme a sec. |
N/A | No Place Like Home |
Thinking with Portals | Plant and Deploy the Glitch Portal Anchor | So, I've been goin’ through some backend code and found a thing. It’s the blueprint for the Mind File transfer portal and... Ah, the short version is that it allows Astros to travel between instances. I think I can piggyback off this system and create a backdoor for you to enter into Bl!tZ's instance. You know, hack the hacker? I can send you a portal on your Landing Pad. |
N/A | Bootstrapped for Cache |
Fools Rush In | Go through the Glitch Portal | Uh...hey. I'm gonna be straight with you here: I got no idea what’s on the other side of that thing. The security around Bl!tZ's instance is intense! My sync with it ain’t great... We might have trouble communicating. To be honest, I ain't even sure if any of your gear will survive the trip. Not what you wanna hear, I know, but Franky always tells it like it is. You can back out if you want to. No pressure...just the fate of the entire ATP at stake here. |

Aeoluz Missions
The following missions take place during Astroneer: Glitchwalkers and helps to guide players through the story and learn the new storm mechanics.
Mission | Objectives | Description | Rewards | Prerequisites |
---|---|---|---|---|
Bad Connection | Check Frank's manual on the Glitch Shelter | Hey! Am I gettin’ thr00? The signal's a mess..//#23...Wait! There we go! Your blueprints got hacked, and some of your gear ain't available in this instance. Let's fix that. Check the Glitch Shelter. I left a manual attached to it with information I gathered from scanning the planet. I know readin' ain't always fun, but if my connection goes dark, use the manual for directions. DON'T SKIP THIS STEP. IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT! This is your fallback point if ya get into trouble. I'll send ya somethin' useful after you've had a chance to look at it. |

VPN-d Message | Find a Vault Obtain Alpha Rootkit Submit Alpha Rootkit to D-Cipher |
I sent you my Vault Seeker. You'll need it to find those Vaults I pushed over to ya. They got a little lost in the transfer... Inside each Vault is a Rootkit. Rootkits will give us the ability to hack the hacker. So, find a Vault, get a Rootkit, and put it in the ol' D-Cipher. Once you've done that, the Rootkit will provide you with a bit of Storm Protection and restore the functionality of some of your blueprints. As a note: You'll have to solve for the encryption on each Vault to get the Rootkit. The keys may have gotten jumbled. |

Recompile | Get Level 2 Storm Protection Generate ![]() |
Look at that! We got some of your items back! You also got yourself a little protection from one of the Storms. That's a good start, but we can do better. Use the Small Printer to make a RUBY and take her to get Storm Data from Hotspots in the Storms. Bring the Storm Data to the D-Cipher. It'll give you another level of Storm Protection and give us enough info to generate a Counterhack Key! Then we'll tackle a Gateway Terminal. |

VPN-d Message |
Overclocked | Use ![]() Repair Alpha Gateway Terminal Power Alpha Gateway Terminal |
While you've been gathering data, so have I. The good news: Bl!tZ is hanging out in the Core of the planet. The bad news: there are currently three Firewalls between you and the Core. Somewhere in that Storm you've been visiting, there's a Gateway Terminal. It's a little different from the ones you're used to, but if we can access it with the Counterhack Key and fix the Gateway, we can power it up and overload the Firewall. Then we just gotta do the whole thing two more times, and we can go face off with Bl!tZ! Super easy! |

Little Bug | Use ![]() Power Delta Gateway Terminal Repair Delta Gateway Terminal |
Well, well, well. What have we here? It seems I’ve caught a little bug crawling around my instance. However did you manage to get in here? No doubt that idiot Frank's been helping you. I wonder how well you'll fare without his direction if I cut off his comm channel... There. He won't be contacting you again. You're all on your own. Think of this as a teachable moment. Next time, I won't be so nice. I recommend staying far away from my remaining Firewalls and Storms. <3 Bl!tZ |
N/A | System Warning |
Security Breach | Push the Green Button | Warning! Firewall 2 is offline. Aeoluz Core security is at increased risk of breach. | N/A | Little Bug |
GLHF | Use ![]() Repair Zeta Gateway Terminal Power Zeta Gateway Terminal |
You again? Don't you have something better to do, little bug? You're becoming a nuisance. Obviously, the first lesson didn't stick, so I'll try again. Frank is quite fond of his instance. He worked so hard to build it into a real home...somewhere he can return to after a long day of working in the Sunroom. Oops. I just deleted it. Poor, sad, instance-less Frank. I suggest you leave my final Firewall alone, or the consequences of this little game of ours will need to escalate. Consider yourself warned. >[ Bl!tZ |
N/A | Security Breach |
Data Compromised | Push the Green Button | Warning! Firewall 3 is offline. Aeoluz Core security has been breached. Planet Core is exposed. | N/A | GLHF |
GGEZ | Push the Green Button | Ugh! You think you're so clever, don't you? Such a busy, busy little bee doing stupid little busy bee things, sticking your pesky little insect nose where it doesn't belong! Well, I'm done tolerating pests. Actions have consequences, and you're about to get squashed. When good ol' Frank wonders how his Mind File got damaged, tell him it was your fault. Tell him how I warned you and how you just couldn't help messing with Bl!tZ. Tell him how you tried your best. He'll never leave the ATP now. Now go be a tragic hero somewhere else. You may have compromised the Core, but I've already moved on to the final stage of my plan. TTYL! >:3c Bl!tZ" |
N/A | Security Breach |
Mustache in the Machine | Get to the Core Bring down the Core Firewall |
//error3535#))... Yeowch! What the heck... Oh hey! Comms are back up! It's me, Frank! Sorry for the disappearin' act, but to be honest... I uh, kinda disappeared on myself, too. Literally! My body's currently missing in action, but what's left of me now has access to all of Bl!tZ's system information! I AM THE ATP! HA! Things is, we need to get to the Core, stat! Bl!tZ's gettin' ready to unleash a virus in the sim and we gotta stop 'em! Find my D.E.M. in the Core and take down the Core's Firewall so we can give Bl!tZ a good talking' to! |
N/A | GGEZ |
Eye of the Storm | Stop Bl!tZ | Dang it, the D.E.M. didn't work! It seems Bl!tZ was one step ahead of us—my override was a bust, and she's preparing to unleash the virus! We need to manually override her Core commands. Get the 3 Core Counterhack Keys in the Storms and place them in the matching terminals. If we can overload the Core with the keys, we might be able to save the ATP and everyone in it! |

Notes
- The Missions and Mission Log was first shown off during the February 5, 2021 stream on Twitch.
- The Mission Panel replaces the old startup panel on the starter Landing Pad
- Prototype Recovery and Vertical Thinking may be started by finding the related Data Recorders or MATs on their respective planets.
- Missions that require gathering resources must be completed by the player themselves, using the terrain tool to mine the resource. Using a vehicle with a drill, the Soil Centrifuge, or Trade Platform will not count towards mission progress.
