7 Habits You MUST Develop in Astroneer!

If you haven't developed these habits, you haven't truly lived. Actually, false, I just didn't want to have to come up with something real to put in my description. In fact, I rarely put anything useful in my descriptions at all. I forgot to put a description on my last video entirely. Nobody has read this far, so why am I still typing this description out? I'm losing my mind. I'm a crazy person. Help. This is a call for help. Help me. I need help.

#4 You can just place the proximity repeater on top of the delay repeater, activate it once, and it will work like a charm.

7:14 "Why are you using flatten to mine?"
Answer: Because flatten can slice through even hard terrain along a specified plane... and ANY resources it merely grazes, you will get. You do not have to dig them all up like you do if mining surface-inward. Flatten, and then waving it around under the surface, is a surprisingly effective mining technique.

[@derflerp538]

Agreed, it's not an exaggeration to say that I have used flatten on a clump of laterite and ended up with 4 within 2 seconds

The auto research tip is insanely useful. I hate walking around to get bytes, and if I didn't want to do that I'd just loop research Astronium by putting it through a canister when it was almost fully researched, and was wondering if there was a way to automate byte collection. The closest I got before this was gathering a bunch of the large research samples you get from the exo research chambers on glacio, and putting as many as I can on a xl platform c with a research chamber on it.

[@Genecaster]

Holy shit that research byte sample automator with the logic components is genius. Definitely going to use a form of that on my save. Here I was setting up auto arms and research chambers and having to run and supply power and .... yeeeeah...
Also the last one isn't just good because it's organized, it will literally make your game run better the closer you can get to having as few containers as possible and avoiding anything ever being on the ground, because if it's sitting on the ground not clipped in somewhere, the game is calculating physics for it. The game can run to a crawl when calculating all that math. By contrast I have a quite large base but everything is clipped into storage somewhere or in a canister and it runs perfectly smoothly like a brand new save.

[@serg_sel7526]

3:21 Landing pads are better alternative to beacon. Really, they're making landing directly to a base, they can accept just all your quests and not so expensive: 2 ceramic and 1 aluminium on huge printer

[@h3llofademon]

You could replace those medium storages with resource canisters on the rover. 4 resource canisters would work wonders. Also instead of turning soil into scraps, you can use soil centrifuges to craft stuff that you can turn into scraps. For the atmospheric condensers, it would be better to use gas canisters. they also work wonders

[@itspheonial]

You can actually use the “Large Silo B” and it cost 3 Steel and it carries 12, Medium Slots and put your canisters on them, whats what i do 😊

[@TadaHrd]

The first planet I went on other than Sylva was Desolo. I activated a gateway chamber and the core of the planet there. Speedrunners do the same because it's easy to get to the core of desolo.

[@sndk7627]

With the soil on the large rover, you can make it much more by having the large storage silo B instead of that large storage and also putting one on the very end where no wire connections are being used

[@a.k.7840]

For item #4: while you don't necessarily need a button repeater for a single sample source, there can sometimes be found multiple sample sources near each other, but spaced too far apart for one proximity repeater. In this case using a button repeater to activate a delay repeater and multiple proximity repeaters is more efficient than using a delay repeater and proximity repeater for each sample source.

[@jamessweet5341]

Proximity repeater pairs are memory hogs. I wouldn't place more that one or two pairs. If your PC is memory challenged beware. A couple on Glacio is plenty. Storage arrays help with memory as well.

[@worldclassjerk-epicgamer]

Yeah, I've been recommending slower repeaters systems lately.

[@Sedder812]

#4 blew my mind, I had no idea this was possible!
And then the comments with the variations… 🤯

[@fadeasp3ct517]

On #4 you don’t really need the button repeater I have a lot of delay and proximity repeaters and it works

[@lostzwolf7269]

why even have research chamers at this point ? just go to glacio set a few of these up and you will have more bytes than you can spend in no time. (if you go a few cave layes down the amount you get grows exponentially, so samples in lower glacio mantle layers give 800 to 1000 bytes a pop. set a few of these up and pretty mutch any and all other research is obselete unless you doing a challange.

[@aaronbarthel6509]

Does mining mountains and harder rock give more soil per square foot? theres something to be said about the simplicity of a good strip mine but if harder rock gives more soil it could make things alot faster to drive through maintains. heck, id travel to another planet if it meant i cold gather soil faster lol

[@worldclassjerk-epicgamer]

Fairly certain I looked into this and discovered that it does not. Would be really cool if it did, though. Would make many planets much more valuable.
Many balance issues in this game that if they fixed would make it genuinely amazing.

[@aaronbarthel6509]

@@worldclassjerk-epicgamer Thanks for your answer! I do agree that its one of the things they could fiddle around with and make work. probably pretty easily too

#4 I think they changed this with an update. I think now you need to be within 'range'.

[@worldclassjerk-epicgamer]

Possible, but I doubt it. Why do you think they changed it?

[@HabbaBabbaPanda]

I can confirm they havw not changed it i have like 4 on glacio that hits all the time and I don't leave Sylvia anymore

[@Hope58283]

Lol actually how much time did you spend mining all that soil at the start😂

[@worldclassjerk-epicgamer]

It's a combination of all the times I ever needed soil on that save since getting the rover-drill combo.

[@Hope58283]

@@worldclassjerk-epicgamer oh I thought you did that before the video or smt

[@worldclassjerk-epicgamer]

That would require a ton of patience.

[@Keeblorski]

I’m a noob, why do you need tons of soil?

[@worldclassjerk-epicgamer]

It’s just a good way to get anything you need in the late game.

[@Keeblorski]

Can u use large canisters in the soil centrifuge?

[@worldclassjerk-epicgamer]

@@Keeblorski If you place a small canister on the platform with it, it will automatically take from it and put the soil in the centrifuge.

I see, thanks man!

[@dorkel_dob1062]

You know medium gas canisters are a thing right?
Just use that for #2.

[@worldclassjerk-epicgamer]

Yeah, I was just trying to make an early game setup. That’s also why I used solar and wind as opposed to RTGs.
