ASTRONEER

We're following the trend of lengthy Patch Notes with another chunky one today. Aside from the list of bug fixes and improvements at the end, we want to give a bit of a deep dive into one particular improvement going into this update and go into some extra detail on others.A lot of the Patch Notes this week are provided by the dev team, so they may be a bit more technical than usual. We are hoping that the additional context is helpful in understanding these subtle, but broad reaching changes.CHANGES TO POI SPAWNINGFixed a legacy issue where certain Mission items, like the Vehicle Data Recorder that spawns on Desolo, could sometimes fail to spawn.In this update, we fixed the above-mentioned legacy bug. It ended up being quite the technical undertaking, so here are some details about the issue itself, and how our fix could impact your game. In ASTRONEER, we use a world generation system to procedurally generate new planets when you create a new save. During this process, the game determines the locations where specific objects should spawn, like the Vehicle Data Recorder (different items have different location requirements). In very rare circumstances, the game would generate

We have some lengthy Patch Notes today! In addition to the standard list of bug fixes and improvements at the end, we want to highlight and break down our first set of improvements for the Intermodal Terminal.The in-game Intermodal Terminal Tutorial is a good reference point for identifying each of the components of this Megastructure.FIRST SET OF IMT IMPROVEMENTS We previously messaged that we would be making gradual improvements to the Intermodal Terminal (or IMT) over the course of multiple updates. This is the first of those updates, with substantial changes made to the IMT’s control panels and automated movement of items between slots, based on the feedback provided by the community.   Loading Modes The IMT’s Shuttle Loading Mode and Rail Station Loading Mode control panel settings have been unified. Changing one now automatically changes the other to its opposite setting.Now, when the Shuttle Loading Mode is modified on the Landing Pad control panel, the Loading Mode on the Rail Station control panel is modified as well to the opposite state. This prevents the player from choosing independent settings that can result in conflicting loading modes, which could block item transf

June’s patch is now available to download, with fixes and improvements for you to review in the patch notes below. There’s also plenty of good progress going into our upcoming updates, including some of the Intermodal Terminal improvements we mentioned in our last Patch Notes. In case you missed it, we recently posted a Mid-Year Dev Update with news about what’s coming to ASTRONEER for the rest of 2026. We will be continuing our monthly updates cadence until at least the end of 2026 and we’re also preparing something special for the game’s 10th anniversary at the end of this year.

If you have been living under a space whale, you might have missed that System Era has been working on another game within the ASTRONEER universe! STARSEEKER: Astroneer Expedition is a new game focused on discovery, cooperative expeditions, and camaraderie. Exploring deep space on the ESS Starseeker, players will need to work together with the entire crew of the space station to complete planet-wide objectives across a multitude of star systems using cutting edge technology. It is not ASTRONEER 2! ASTRONEER is our take on the survival craft genre, and STARSEEKER is our take on an online cooperative multiplayer experience. Players are not stranded on a planet building bases, they live on a space station with a big crew going on short missions down to the planet. We dropped a FULL BLOG post with all of our Early Access details and a roadmap here: If that seems exciting, you can wishlist here: Also if you are a visual learner, here is our new trailer: And for those of you who love ASTRONEER, don't worry!
