I see everyone yelling about the automation update, i will get on doing an update video soon
Thanks.
Its not super intuitive at the moment because of a lack of a logic system, which is coming soon in the next update
Sorry to bother you, but you should definitely check out a game called Starsector. It's a little bit like if Space Rangers were remade into a more modern game and had 10 years worth of active development to refine the product, and maybe throw in a hint of Mount and Blade: Warband. It had a bit of a learning curve, but it's so very well made, and the combat is fantastic.
@@Kitkat-986 ill look into it
@@ProbablyJacob you should do one on no mans sky
Dude for 7K subs you killed this. You're going places, don't let anyone tell you differently. This was spot-on and perfect.
Thanks man, hope you subbed
@@ProbablyJacob I also just found your channel and seeing that your subscriber base doubled from 7 to 14k in two months is awesome, man. Keep putting these out because every one I've seen yet has been awesome; as good as anyone else's on youtube.
Spencer Tucksen he’s blowing up!
Turned 7 in to 47 pretty quick lol
@@Myspacemeta turned 47 to 57.7 reeeeaaal quick
In one of my runs, I got lost after digging my way out of a cave and had no way to find my base. I had good loot and was desperate to not lose it. Luckily my friend hopped on to help and we successfully used the goddamn stars and day/night cycle to find where I was in relation to the base.
Fucking legendary
i always have a beacon with me... saved me a couple of times in the past :D
You know that's what I did to. Me and my buddy got lost on a exploration. So I remembered
"Hey remember how the moon is larger at our base? Well why don't we just head in the direction of the moon?"
And well we found it
@@skiesquiggles7319

ya for sure the ring of stars is how I navigate. Simply keep the ring of stars over head and choose a direction and stick with it eventually you will find home base.
You’re clearly a good writer and you’re very well spoken. This is a great review so well done. :)
I thought u were Shammy at first.
I about lost my shit.
@@xavier_got_ya9169 same...damn I miss his channel.
@@themindset4164 Shmolty introduced me to him, I miss both of them :(
@@xavier_got_ya9169 damn, I haven't even watched shmolty's channel in years. Your hitting me with so much nostalgia right now 😭
Fun fact about astroneer! If you run in one direction, you will always end up where you started
This is probably one of the most amazing games that gets little to no attention, and that makes me sad that this game has such a small fan base
It's underrated, but it gets over 2k concurrent players on steam. Not bad for a game like this.
Finally
Many people like No Man's Sky over this. I think that they each have their own merits, and one isn't better than the other.

67 likes....
Just one more and the prize would be mine to claim...
even youtube is liking the sound design
I did not expect a professional review on par with the best from an 8k sub channel. Underrated, subbed.
Just found your channel and you're already on the top of my list of reviwers/critiquers, please don't stop.
Single player: *relaxing*
Co-op: "JERRY!? HOW ZE FUCK DID YOU GET INTO LOW ORBIT WITH A GOLF CART!?"
Was browsing through my list of subscriptions to find something to watch while eating, and realized I've missed this release. Instant happiness ensued! Keep this style that you are going with. It's relaxing and entertaining to follow along as you break down the games functions and treats. Loving it!
I cant even begin to tell how well made this review was, youre unlike any other game reviewer ive watched, the video was simple and to the point, you covered almost everything important. Thank you. Ill be buying this game.
Looks fantastic. Definitely checking this one out. Great review, brother.
I would say astroneer is one of my favourite games ever with out a doubt, its so peaceful and satisfying for some reason.
Agreed, but for ps4 if you play multiplayer you will lag fkin hard
Fun fact: during his gameplay sometimes the tethers had diffrent colored lights on them because he was playing around christmas.
Heres a little glitch: if you put a jet on the crane, and then start the thing, it just takes you to space
Nice to see you're still making videos! I was beginning to worry
No plans on stopping, holidays just slowed me down a bit
Im always active on twitter, you can check out what im working on over there
@@ProbablyJacobdon't have Twitter but I was just given a reason to
Amazing review, i fully expect you to push 100k subs in no time. Keep it up!
For me one of the main issues is ground glitches where sometimes a large portion of the ground will become invisible and it can be really annoying if you accidentally fall in a pit
Three. Words. “EXO Dynamics Mastery”
These three words ruined my life, however, I am proud of myself I finally achieved total mastery. And yes I did do “ The wanderer’s way” as well.
same, it took me and my friends just under 100 hours
im almost ending the game
Ah yes, Relaxing!
Welcome to Astroneer,
OH GOD MY ROVER'S STUCK IN A CAVE!!!
What games was the boobies game? Asking for a friend
Sure for a friend
Here, hope your *friend* enjoys

Succubus. Save your time and go incognito instead.
Agony UNRATED
it's from agony. agony kinda sucked though.
This game had it's peak 2 years ago, and god damn it changed so much now
For the better or worse?
@@sandorrclegane2307 I know I'm quite late but it has changed for the better and worse really. They removed things like sandstorms changed how the game plays and other things. Some things have gotten better like better looking planets, more things to do and just overall the amount of fun you can have on it as there is a lot more content at launch.
thanks for making such a great review video, i really like how you explain basic gameplay elements, something basically all big reviewers never seem to mention.
i just realized that this is before the portable oxygenator
Astroneer is such a great game, ive me and a buddy bought it when it was in open Alpha on steam and fell in love with it. Back then it was way less overall content but it was still a lot of fun. At some point we stopped playing and now after a long time we started playing it again. Its insane how well made the game is now.
One thing you may should've covered is the unlocking of a Teleportation station. Its always so damn satisfying to have this Sound effects and the visuals when you onlock one. But to be fair, its good you didnt take away most of the gameplay and great moments in this game. I think the best aspect of the game is just exploring how all of the things work, trying to figure out what you do witht his weird temple, Figuring out you could teleport from planets, exploring this crazy Space hub, etc.
The reason he didn’t go over it is because it’s a thing most Astroneer veterans keep secret from newbies. You shouldn’t have commented it tbh, even on the Reddit no one mentions it
@@IkaayEbi what dumb fuck gatekeeping is this
@@mikec2845 I get his point, it's really something else discovering this Mechanix for the first time, which made me reconsider posting this comment as well. But I mean it's a Astroneer review, if you look in the comments too much without having played the game you're gonna ruin your experience a bit anyways.
Mike C it’s not gatekeeping , it’s just a nice surprise for people to find it out themselves - it’s literally the opposite , preventing spoilers in what is the only story element of astroneer
Simon Titus true - if people go looking in the comments of a review video it’s fair game
I loved this game
I just wish there was a bigger difference between planets.
Like Glacio is my favorite because it has an interesting terrain with big flat surfaces. Other planets just have different color pallettes.
I realize it must be really difficult to integrate variaty when you have a mechanic like terraformable terrain though.
I just didn't want to stop watching keep up the epic work
Notably, the F1 key actually does something amazing. Historically used for Help dialogues, it gives you a cheatsheet with all the mechanics and pitfalls in the game with cute visuals and diagrams. This game is a treat all around!
When you mentioned The Martian Movie I had Flashbacks to a story.......
Basically, Two of my friends and I went to Novus to gather our first Iron (yes we were idiots for not going to Glacio). One of my friend's game crashed. My other friend and I met up and established a base. We found NO Iron, so we decided to go to a different part of the planet. The moment we went into orbit, our thruster broke, trapping us on Novus. The friend who's game crashed was the worst one out of all of us, so I had to coach him to make the things to get to Novus and back. He did and we made it out. This is exactly like the martian but we had more people on Novus (Mars). Thanks for reading my story, and I hoped you enjoyed it.
I have fallen through the ground more times than I can count on my hands
Me and my friend created a shrine for one of the marbles, we call it the zebra ball and give it a resource before every trip we take
my guy be making compound in a soil centrifuge right next to a compound deposit. madlad
Your reviews are so well written. Def a fan. Nice to see someone who understands the elements of games, and the styles certain genres and what makes them enjoyable.
I'm playing astroneer since the betas and always love it. I strongly agree that the lack of objective was a barrier in the beginning. But after some hours of mining and crafting, everything connects and the game shines. I eventually drop the game after achieve to make every machine, stay a couple of months without play and return to another adventure from scratch after see some update or interesting vídeo. Like your review. Very good editing and text. I think its time to return to Sylva again. Thanks.
Oh yeah baby, great review! ASTRONEER truly is something else, probably the best looking low-poly game made!
Don't forget about Deep Rock Galactic!
@@sagehanson190 didn't know about it at the time
@@sagehanson190 deep rock galactic is easily one of the most boring games to do as well as it did
@@djkraken2563 The game was definitely made to be played with friends, but yeah I have to be in a specific mood to play deep rock. It's not always the most engaging.
@@sagehanson190 but even with friends after several hours of gameplay, it was already stale for my whole group. And we like relaxing games but deep rock has nothing to offer other than exploring caves with literally no true progression.
What’s funny is I just finished reading the Martian and that’s why I wanted to start playing this
I played astroneer for a long time, and finished that book last week. Made me want to revisit the game since I’ve already 100% it, and it’s still amazing
Why has literally everyone who’s played this game had an experience where they accidentally got stranded on a planet without any fuel left?
Landing your hydrazine propelled shuttle Ina planet with no resource (you know the one) next to an aggressive plant firing explosive seeds can make for a pretty shitty time if you play alone 😅
The music was so relaxing I forgot I was watching a video and almost fell asleep 😂 😅
Dude I love how you mentioned that more creative people might want customizable builds! Few people mention that
Nice video. I've been playing Astroneer with a few friends since it was in pre-alpha. Without a doubt, it has come along way. The multiplayer is rough at times but they are working on dedicated servers. System Era is very close to its community and is constantly working on the game.
Happily there are now portable oxygenators for your backpack, mind you need a qt-rgt to power it.
Lovely video. Astroneer is my favourite game probably, so glad you picked it. Was glad you choose to show the mushroom caves, its the first place i bring new players :)
I always have 2 inventory slots reserved for an oxygen tank and a soil canister, plus a second soil canister on my terrain tool

I've been binge watching all your videos since I discovered your channel! I really like your vision about games and will def start playing astroneer as soon as possible. Will also show your channel to my friends, you deserve a lot of success on youtube (:
I look forward to your videos being released. You make some fantastic review / critique content.
Good work.
Dude... 22k subs and this good of a review good job this was 10/10 review on a 9/10 game great work do not let anyone stop you, you are going places
“Working class astronaut”
Workers of the world(s), unite!
This but unironically
i got stranded on calidor and got back, so yeah im matt damon
The Calidoran
you:"a very relaxing game"'
me:"AAAAAH IM GOING TO SUFFOCATE AND LOOSE ALL OF MY STUFF INTHIS MAZE CAVE"
The biggest issue I have with the game is something you briefly mentioned: the lack of customization. I want to be able to color my base pieces. I want an interior for the shelter. I want more decorations and I want the terrain to be easier to shape into actual structures instead of just blobs.
it’s a great game, my friend couldn’t afford a large rocket so we slapped storage silos on a large rover and flew to that plannet
Astroneer is one of my favorite games and to have someone explain it so accurately by how it feels instead of how it looks is a really nice change of pace from review channels
Me and my friend have actually gotten stuck on desolo because the thruster ran out of fuel and it took us 3 hours to get back to Sylva
I subbed immediately after watching this video, on, and also bought the game. Really excellent stuff. Well paced. You explain enough of the game for the audience to appreciate its mechanics, without ruining the experience of progressing in the game. Brilliant video.
Great review! I was on the fence about this game but you've sold me. I'll definitely be checking out some more of your videos too
This was an outstanding review dude
Pro Tip: If you manage to go to another planet and have no fuel or oxygenator, just take the ship with you everywhere you go. It has unlimited oxygen so long as you’re next to it, and you can move it freely
There is also a very touching story behind the development of astroneer and i would definitely recommend looking into it
I did and it really is a touching story
Good review. I knew your channel from your Cube World video and I know you're the right person to seek for a survival crafting game review.
my favorite part of astroneer is when you put a rover seat in a buggy sideways
High quality review! Love your take on the game:) good video mate you got me hitting the subscribe button!
Oh man, I loved Astroneer but I could never get any friends to play with lol. Maybe someday!
I hope they will put some sort of plaform to build a base (maybe some with slots to put a plateform) . A little bit like no man's sky
for aesthetic
Hell yeah new video, been waiting thank you kind sir
I really miss when the dropship didnt transform into a full blown colonization ship.
Fun fact: One of the sound tracks from Astroneer was taken from Horizon Zero Dawn.
6:35 NEVER DIG A HOLE. It will cause your materials to fall through the ground into the caves. At least it did for me and my friend on our multiplayer world.
10:23 You only need to visit a tungsten world and Glacio for iron and argon, and make the trade platform and shredder to then trade for all the other resources, and Atrox for all other gasses. Actually, you can find abandoned resources with some luck, so only Glacio and Atrox are necessary to make everything in the game (and of course Sylva for hydrogen and starting position).
4:33 I did that once & I was super proud of myself when I finally got an oxygenator
Chill sounds to space to
Me: murmurs "it was good until the microtransactions"
Everyone else: WHAT
Well I’m sold. Gonna try the game out, great review!
Solid review, really helped in considering to buy this game or not. And no spoilers (for as far as there are any in this game) is great
im still tryig to get back to the game after dying on Glacio deep in the planet with the two diamonds a hydrozine jetpack and a lvl 3 drill mod and for some reason i want to cry as now the plan i made and was freaking out about messing up was scrued up by having one less battery pack then i needed and now i dont know if i should go through the process of recovery as the scene of falling makes me hesitant
I remember that I had done every planer's core except for atrox. Around that time my PC shut down. I found my save file with 150 hrs gone. I was so burned out that I stopped play astroneer for about 1 year. (Yes I played before 1.0) This review has made me pick up the game again.
The astronaut's name is paul because one of the developers working on this game died to unkown/disclosed reasons by the family. While working on it. His name was paul
I enjoy that you review games that I would've never knew otherwise.
Now, i may be biased, but purely from your name i must subscribe.
i like craft and caves but in other games you can mine alot of resources and stuck them on you. here you can only care few stucks and hold only one big research thing. yes you can use vehicle but it nice and comfortable only with drill and with huge caves
man thank you for literally being THE astroneer review
0:39 imma need da source brother
.
its agony unrated
great video, I really thought that you had atleast 1 million subs, very high quality brother
Man, now I want to play Astroneer haha. This was an amazing video!
I really agree with this review, but I wish you could have played since 2016 or 17 like I did. You could have expressed how this game that was in development then early access for years with hilarious bugs, but then it bloomed. It fixed itself and the game became more complex, and then it got released. With it finally getting constant updates with work as it got expanded to the ps4. Hats of to you man, I really enjoyed your review.
CrazyBoris 06 on xbox one
I love this game, I come back to it every 6 months and pay about 20hrs.
This game is amazing. I've been playing since the beta.
His intro described borderlands perfectly.
I like your content the ford fiesta joke sent me to the moon and back 😂😂
Bad space joke
Great review man keep up the good work👍
This game is on sale currently on PS4 and it looks really fun so I’m looking into it
I'm so scared of running out of fuel, that I take 4 solid fuel thrusters with me for just one expedition
I forgot mine ):
I was waiting for him to build a phalice.
Great review once again, I relate to Matt Damoning myself
The base oxygenator does not need power. The portable one does however. I’ve played this game since the game didn’t have any movable platforms. Back then most people used holes, which I found was a shit way to store materials since they fall through the floor. That bug has since been fixed by I still don’t trust it. I do miss the old gas plant design. Sad
Pros BR's perdidos por aqui, temos uma review no nosso canal dando bastante detalhes do que esperar do jogo, vale a pena com certeza, mas É PECULIAR, Huahuha
Nosso canal ainda é pequeno, ficaríamos mega felizes de ter você aqui ♥
Do you have some sort of let's play channel with your friend? Would love to watch.
I told him we should but he told me no and stuffed me back in the closet and refuses to pay me or feed me. He's out of control
Multiplayer has improved greatly since!
i am about to buy the game so that i can play with a friend, is the multiplayer servers stable?
I have no idea, but multiplayer via friend’s worlds are relatively stable(just some issues with lag and occasional stuttering in my experience)
Just found this channel, and man it deserves more subs.
this was a good video! the showing of the core was,tasteful,showing enough to get the new/prospective players to go "what the heck is that! l need to see more!"
I have gotten all the achievements in this game, and I think if you have time it’s worth it (except for the one to power all the gateways, that one takes forever, unless you like to drive aimlessly for hours to find the last one you passed by 10 times early on). It definitely is worth the time to get the other ones.
Just come across your videos, loving them
