Build your base and explore the planet with friends
What is the gameplay like in Astroneer? At the beginning, you are transported to a planet in a space capsule and initially face an untouched landscape.
Gradually, you build your base by collecting resources and using terraforming to shape the planet as you need it.
But always keep an eye on your oxygen level, or you may quickly perish in the foreign atmosphere. You can also set up a line to your base that supplies you with air permanently, allowing you to explore further places.
The solar system in Astroneer consists of 7 planets that you can explore. Race through the area with vehicles or explore cave systems and dig your way to the planet’s core. You will encounter mysterious phenomena on your journey, the secrets of which you can uncover.
You can play the game both solo and in co-op with friends, causing mayhem on the foreign planets together.
