Hi everyone! Astroneer Tips here! In today's video
I would like to share a tip on how to do not one but two important missions in one trip!
This will save you plenty of time. So yes, I suppose this should be considered a spoiler alert. You have been warned!
Another heads-up is that this is maybe not a quite a late-game type of missions
But certainly one quarter game. I will explain in a moment.
Alright, so what are these missions and why these missions cannot be done earlier in the game? Number one
Activate a Gateway.
mission number two: Gather gases
To complete each mission we'll deploy a Dedicated Power Supply Kit or DPS Kit for short.
This is what the DPS kit looks like. It has ten medium generators.
One Large Platform B
and
1 Atmospheric Condenser
This tip works
thanks to the recent Lunar Update bringing us new storage units namely the large storage silo.
Prior to the addition of this large unit one would only be able to bring so much per trip.
But now you can use it to make your DPS kit, which you can use as is, every time you need it, again and again.
So, let's see all this in action!
Let's go to Glacio and try it out there! I will speed up some of the process.
Alright so here we are! We were lucky to find a landing spot near a Gateway. Hauling the DPS kid will be a brief trip.
And what would this Astroneer Tips video be without our signature music from Sid Acharya?! We'll listen to,
quite appropriately: The Winter, from his album Hymns of the Highlands.
You must have noticed the three Medium Batteries in the DPS kit, it's just a variant to the original. For the record,
I did test activating a Gateway in the same planet with 10 Medium Generators and zero batteries.
Instead of 7 Medium
Generators and 3 Medium Batteries with the same results.
Early in the game you are better off without the Medium Batteries.
Otherwise, you will have to wait longer before you have all that's needed to make your DPS kit.
Be sure to bring enough carbon the Atmospheric Condenser requires quite a bit of power.
Alright, both missions were a success! Our work is done here!
I didn't say it before, but in addition to the DPS kid, you want to bring about 20 carbon nuggets, two packagers
-1 for the large platform B and one for the Atmospheric Condenser- 3 to 4 Tether bundles and this is per
trip. Now you must have understood why these missions cannot be done early in the game.
We saw a list of the items making the DPS kit before. Now for you to better understand why this kit cannot be made
right from the very beginning. Let's have a glance and what resources are needed to make each of the items involved.
Starting from the most demanding: the Atmospheric Condenser.
Plastic, Iron -which is hematite from Glacio- and Glass. One of each.
2200 bytes
Then the Chemistry Lab.
Tungsten -which is Wolframite from Desolo- Ceramic and Glass. One of each. 1600 bytes.
Second last: Medium Generator. Tungsten and Aluminum. One of each.
3,750 bytes. The last one: Large Platform
B. 3 Resins.
500 bytes
For a grand total of 8050 bytes.
Alright so for a closure and so things make more sense to those just starting with the game
I want to add that you need 8050 bytes just for the DPS kit. To come to this point
it's understood that you will need to have covered the essentials already like getting a Research Chamber
Along with its platform, set up printers, find as many Research Items as you can etc. Beyond this
it's really a matter of gameplay style. So I will leave it here.
But you get the general idea.
Alright, I hope you found this video helpful.
