Enable research in the chamber and it will endlesly research new bytes each time they respawn. Put auto arm in a way that it will be facing samples and research chamber behind it. Place a small research station built from auto-arm and research chamber (don’t forget power of course). Samples on those formations respawn every in about 30 minutes. Locate a rocky formation, bush or anything that small samples grow from. With the tools provided by Automation update, you can build multipe endless bytes farms. Sometimes you will also finda large research item in the aid wich always provides good amount of bytes You can also research small samples in the research chamber tripling the amount of bytes. Alot of players don’t know thatīytes are essential in ASTRONEER and there are lot of ways to get them.ĭepending on the planet and depth (The deeper in cave aid is, the better samples you get) you will usually find a small research sample wich provides from few hundreds to 1000+ bytes per instant scan. You normally can carry only one large research item at time, but what if I told you that you can carry 12 of those at once? That’s right, all you need to do is use your packager on research item. In order to restack them into one pack, simply place all of the tethers/extenders on the floor and shift pick them up. Having 3 packs of tethers or extenders with 2 tethers in each is annoying and wastes limited inventroy space. printers, chemistry lab), click on the hologram, it will automatically place an item in the slot if you have it in your inventory. If you have unit in your base displaying hologram of required resource (ex. This will automatically snap it to your backpackī). Placing a network of diffrently colored beacons all around to the planet so that you can always see one and tell your position is a very good idea.Ī).If you see an item on the floor and want to quickly pick it up, hold shift as you left click on it. Either way, following it in the straight line will eventually get you there. Your starting base on first planet is always placed below or slightly off to the side of the bound. It’s visible on any planet and makes circle around planet’s equator. Once you spot it, follow the star bound in the straight line. If you find yourself lost in the middle of nowhere with no beacons in sight, look up to the sky and locate star bound. Extender will automatically add in a place where your cable ends There’s easier way, place extender pack on one of your auxiliary backpack slots (shoulders), extended cable to its maximum and then hit your auxiliary slot key (deafult C for left slot and V for right). Just take out your terrain tool, doing that almost doubles your reach!Įxtenders can be hard to place, you place an extender and you don’t know if your cable will reach it or not. Have you been in situation when you couldn’t grab something because it was just outside of your range? Worry not, there’s a way to extended your range. You can further extend storage capacity by using silos or canisters later in game. You now have 32 slots and the same amount of space taken.
You can then fit 4 small storages on the large one. Extending platform’s storage capacity.Ī).If you have a large platform A, You can put two small storages on it, having 16 slots total.īe smart and do that more efficiently, put large storage on the platform instead. For example, you can use small base starter packīase starter contents: Packed oxygenator, source of power (small solar, small wind turbine, generator), packed small platformsĪ).You can sneak additonal resource nugget in crafting slot in your backpack. Rember, you don’t have to put Oxygenator in the side slot of the shuttle like hologram suggests. Instead, glue them to the side of your shuttle, or rover if you need!ī). Do not waste vaulable storage space in your shuttle!Ī).If you need to take packagers with You on your space trip, You don’t need to put them in storage slots.
