Updates
This update is all about harnessing the power of plants in a “sustainable” way. The Tapper can be placed on “tappable” plants that now spawn in biomes on several planets. The best part? These tappable plants can be uprooted, giving you seeds that will then allow you to plant tappable plants anywhere that is convenient! Start planting your little space orchards!
New Item – The Tapper
Place the 
Tapper on any tappable plant and it will automatically generate 
Organic that you can then feed into your crafting system, automate into carbon for power, or gather for LTEs. It doesn’t require power to operate, but it does take time for the organic to form. Warning: placing multiple tappers on one plant will split the overall output of organic from one tapper between all of the connected tappers.
Recipe – 1x 
Aluminum
New Flora – Tappables
Tappable plants are a new class of flora in Astroneer that spawn across the solar system. Place a tapper on them in the wild for some organic on-the-go, or uproot them for their precious seeds so you can plant some near your base for some organic farming. They also are great for adding a little bit of green around your base as decoration. While we are only allowing you to farm organic right now, we would love to hear about other tappable types you might want in the future.
All existing hazards and harmless flora are also tappable.
5 New Tappable Variants
- Plumefir – Sylva
- Cactile – Calidor
- Glacio – Pricklepod
- Stretchpetal – Vesania
- Honeypot – Atrox
New Bundle - Bumble Set
Since this update is all about plants, we are releasing the very fitting Bumble Bundle in EXO Outfitters! Get to buzzing around the solar system with this full set.
Bug Fixes
The following bugs have been fixed as of version 1.30.12.0:
- AS-19803: Both Host and Clients should now see their point progress correctly in the EXO Request Platform control panel when playing with a client that has the same number of LTE points, or more LTE points than the Host.
- AS-20038: In Multiplayer, Clients should now hear destruction SFX when a harmless hazard is harvested
- AS-20010: Harmless Hazards should no longer produce debris when blown up by dynamite

- AS-18959: Storage Sensors should now function for Trade Platforms
- AS-6586: Quick Stowing drilled items should now properly slot into the backpack
- AS-20004: The MOTD menu should no longer open in the background while the Player is in the Store

Known Issues
Right now we are seeing an increased crash rate on Nintendo Switch for players who were working hard to complete the Anniversary LTE. All of the added underground spawns are causing players to crash and the save will no longer load. We have a planned fix, but it will take some time to test and deploy. This fix will potentially fix saves that can currently not load due to this problem. Apologies for the issue and thanks so much for being patient while we identified and came up with a plan to fix.
