Engineering a 100,000m tall tower in Astroneer!

Astroneer part 1! Why build a spaceship to the moon when you can engineer a 100000m tall tower instead?

[@BeerGeek21]

FINALLY! This game has a special place in my heart as it helped me through some VERY dark times in my life. It makes me genuinely happy to see RCE playing it.

[@xadev9848]

Same 🥺

[@robberd7devos]

Same lol

[@RealMothermooship]

Finally I have been asking for a long time

[@isturbo1984]

it looks like the game actually works. when i played it, the frame rate would chug at 5fps most of the time in 2016. it was awful. retail version ,btw, not early access.

[@etgamer4life984]

@@isturbo1984 i think that was a problem only you had. Ive never heard of that before, but of course I didn't play that long ago.

[@AnchorJG]

I love this game, and the sheer luck that RCE spawns next to an XL Landing Platform is amazing, but I immediately flashed back to the Planet Crafter series and his breathing problems there. I foresee a lot of corpse runs in his future.

[@jdreyes3745]

On my first solo playthrough, one of my planetary bases (on Vesania) was one established right in the base of one such XL Landing platform. I pretty much just shoved all the Medium Windmills I proceeded to find everywhere on the slots at the top.

[@Hoggagf2]

I also spawned next to one!

[@Infernoblade1010]

Crazy to see how much it's changed since I played a few years ago. I remember starting with virtually nothing and having the fun of discovering things as I went.

[@razorx2024]

yes, more Astroneer please 😁 oh patreon only ☹

[@AliceErishech]

It'd be nice if he warned us it was a Patreon series before the literal end of the video. Kind of rude to waste the time of people who can't support him on Patreon or don't want to.

[@AlfieASMR]

​@@AliceErishechhis Patreon is free.

[@AliceErishech]

@@AlfieASMR Er, since when? The entire point of Patreon is for people to send him money. And if he's posting these Patreon videos there for everyone regardless of whether they're paying him, it kind of totally defeats the purpose. At that point, he'd be better of just posting them to KZbin.

I haven't played this game but I think I know the joke at this point... explain to me like I'm five

[@meatharbor]

@@gregoryharris5170 The planets are actually full spheres, so you can dig straight through to the core and then to the other side. Though, there is "stuff" in the middle. It's kinda like one of those cream eggs but not an egg and also aliens.

I've been secretly waiting for you to play, I'm so close to finally 100%ing the game and seeing you get through the slowest part is gonna be fun IMO Edit:Now I wished you didn't play this since making it a patreon-exclusively series makes it completely just paywalled

[@CameronSalazar2113]

Agreed, he did the same with "Oxygen not included" which is another game that I really wanted to see him play "Astroneer" is top three also just amazing games!

[@DaUltraInstinct]

@@CameronSalazar2113That’s so true! I was hoping about halfway through the episode that Matt created a series on yt for it, only to find at the end of the episode that it would be a patreon series

[@CameronSalazar2113]

@@DaUltraInstinct I bet since it a exclusive the view count on them wont be much over 1k which is just a waste of content from a creator we want to see play these games. Sadly...

[@mithulsaju1824]

Can u do some non patreon series? Plss

[@Charles-7]

or at the very least have a series like this one be published when finished?

[@varpaaton]

Everybody are pushing all the videos to Patreon. Don't forget us, please.

[@Knex13]

I'm so so happy seeing RCE play Astroneer, I say as I'm playing it right now on my newest end game save. It's such a fun, cute game, near and dear to my heart of being a space nerd. I have about 1.1k hours clocked on steam and I like to replay it so many times, try out new strategies and stuff. Alot has changed over the years so excited for the end of the year expansion. Have a brilliant time, there's lots to discover...

[@ats4653]

A Atroneer playthrough would be amazing mate. Please do go explosring to find more power sources and generators to speed up your crafting.

[@ImpmanPDX]

Sees Astroneer. Hears "Hey there it's Josh" in my head. Runs away quickly haha

[@dweezil6969]

Imagine unexpectedly in real life. Like if you had to call 911 and that's how the phone were answered and your name is Grace.

[@TheeSonofNeptune]

Just wait until he finds out about the working gyrosphere on the platform waiting for him

[@jdreyes3745]

Fun vehicle that hardly needs effort to find (important early game when you're probably low on resources), very limited on bad terrain (i.e. both moons and Atrox) and in terms of utility (zero inventory space, zero power-sharing ability...)

[@Axolotl_astronaut_robots]

Also nice in hardcore. I think I found something in my save, when I attached an oxygenator to the pad, it finished the mission that was soft locking it.

[@wizzy_flexx4481]

Finally i have waited 5 years for this!!!!!!!!!! The real civil astroneer!

[@Charles-7]

only to see that it's patrons only

"This is another British simulator, set in the future" - top quote from RCE 😂

[@DJLegoMan13]

I absolutely love this game! I'm near full completion in my own world actually :) Gotta say though, your spawn was incrEDIBLY lucky getting all of those bonus resources and platforms right off the bat! Too bad you haven't used the gyrosphere on that platform yet though, you'll have a blast with it I'm sure XD

[@neddasimon6287]

It is such a simple game but you can do so many things. I did the 100% a few months ago, it is fun until you get to the achievement to unluck every gateway🥲. Good luck

[@Niklas9999100]

Fun fact, you can actually find the spaceship from the intro in orbit of the first planet and even reach it by building a tower that's high enough (it doesn't have collision though). May I also suggest building a "bridge" into space (I'm not sure if it can be called a bridge if what it connects to is space) by using the flattening tool and just keep going into one direction until the planet curves away from under you?

[@doyoulikemyjordanslmao5129]

Man why are you making all the good series patreon exclusives😭

[@Donkey114]

There is no way rce is playing one of my favourite games that I’ve played for years. I’m so happy right now.

[@user-ns8ow7fp7w]

You need to plug the power into sockets with working cables (the red things), which don't need to necessarily be lit up as that only indicates that the platform is exposed to power

[@flimph]

Play from the depths and colonise neter for the glory of the British empire

[@MichaelMoore99]

More of this please! I love this game! I streamed it myself for a few months and got to the end... and then a few months later, there was a huge update, so my "completion" is now far from complete and I still have a ton of stuff to do.

[@VaingloriousGaming]

about time you cover one of THE best games ever. Also, excellent landing spot right next to a space port!

[@OriginalPatrickWilliams]

I love this game! Also, it’s not possible to build up to the other planets, at least, not in my experience. I’ve spent hours and not gotten any closer. You are however able to build up to the original satellite that you spawn from at the beginning of the game. So that’s pretty cool.

[@jacksonhoggard999]

Been waiting for this one. Commented about it awhile back but I didn’t persist. Hope he continues it

[@raymondburgemaster8237]

7:26 if you put its own power source on it then you can use it

[@Astraeus..]

The in-universe technology in this game is wild. Like they have instantaneous cloning devices that self-activate the second you die, but somehow never advanced past the old timey deep-sea diver days where you needed a hose to deliver oxygen to your suit....

[@Raida7]

I really liked that Astroneer added all the things like quest rewards and the adorable little pets. Because you can just choose not to use them. It's like a wide variety of difficulty sliders - do you want a free mini power source? no, you want to unlock that youself? alrighty, don't hit this button buddy.

[@user-nd6cd2nm8m]

Research the research samples you find in ship wrecks and other wrecks in the research table thingy and you will get a lot more bytes instead of scanning

[@rpgman7]

Use the pink plants seeds, plant them so you can get resources for bytes it goes huge in a hour

[@leastmachine8693]

Cool, now multiple suns don't set on the British Empire.

[@ryanposton8803]

So its official now? RCE gas become one of these creators that give one video then put the rest behind a pay wall and only gives mobile clicker games as main content

[@zacharyrakes9061]

Don't attach power cells to your backpack or platforms until you need to use them, power comes from them first for some reason.

[@kdawg7695]

Matt, the platforms that arent labeled as debris are still functional and you can pick them up to add to your base. Itll save you on resources since you got so freaking lucky with your drop location! 🤣🤦🏼‍♂️

[@xxSeanVxx]

Fun to see you playing this! Would also love to see some more Manor Lords 😅

[@jumpylotion2328]

For the next vid, you can ride around in the hamster ball on the launch pad next to your base :)

Omg what a throw back, I remember this

[@graeme.davidson]

Remember Matt, if your storage is on a platform connected to a printer it will automatically pull resources.

[@philipangell8027]

Great episode but I hate how it is just an ad for patreon. I guess it makes sense as that is probably where your main income comes from. You did the same with satisfactory which I was excited to watch you play. If you can make multiple thumbnails for Hydroneer then you can for Astroneer.

Although it gets points for the very strong shape, I'd say the engineering in the tower was a bit lacking this time. I'm starting to wonder if RCE is actually an Architect in disguise 🤔

The closer to the core of the planet you go the more abundant the resources are and the lower the gravity just make sure you don't go to the core until you have the jetpack or you will get stuck in the core

[@AliceErishech]

It'd be nice if you warned us before the end of a video that the series is going to be Patreon exclusive. I was interested in this series but can't afford Patreon. If I'd known it was a Patreon series, I'd have just skipped over it and spent that 20 minutes on a series I could actually watch isntead.
