The Orbital Platform is a Megastructure. Only one can be constructed at a time per save.

Mega-Modules

Construction Anchor Landing Pad

Destination for Construction Anchors. Place at the desired location and activate a button to call a Construction Anchor from the DLS or Orbital Platform.

Mega-Terrain Platform

Can be placed on the edge of the Orbital Platform or another Mega-Terrain Platform to extend the edge with flat platforms made of terrain. You can only place 8 of them, 4 on each side of the Orbital Platform.

Uses

• Gravity: This remains consistent throughout the top side of the platform, even when you jump onto the Asteroid. Walking off the edge will result in falling into space, but you’ll be safely recovered and placed right back.
• Power & Oxygen: The orbital platform contains its own oxygen supply, so no tethers are needed here. As for power, you’ll need to provide that, but there are convenient cable ports through the whole platform to help distribute power.
• Megaception: With a few limitations, you can build other Megastructures on top of the Orbital Platform, as long as you build it on the ring itself. Just keep in mind that some Megastructures are limited to either just one or one per planet.
• Orbital Relocation: You can spend Astronium as fuel in order to move the Orbital Station into orbit of another planet if you change your mind.
• MEGA-Mini Asteroid: An Asteroid of pure soil that can be infinitely reshaped into one of various shapes: Asteroid in two different variants, Sphere, Donut, Flat Platform, Resin and Compound.
• Upgrades Stages: Upgrading the Orbital Platform to Stage 2 adds a Megastructure Component Printer. Stage 3 unlocks free flight on the Orbital Platform, even in Adventure Mode.
• Megastructure Component Printer: A Stage 2 Orbital Platform will have the ability to print Construction Anchor Landing Pads and its associated Mega Module, the Mega-Terrain Platform.

Notes

• The Orbital Platform has Medium solar effectiveness. This is not affected by the planet the platform is orbiting.
• The Orbital Platform has no wind, making wind turbines useless for power generation on the Orbital Platform.
• The Orbital Platform's day/night cycle is ~1 minute.
