I Played Astroneer For The First Time In 2023

[@douggibson8639]

It's always fun watching someone play Astroneer for the first time! A few small tips: always keep a soil canister on you. This way, you can use the flatten mode of the terrain tool to build ramps into thin air, like to the cave floor from the hole you dug. The angle you build the ramp at is based on the polygon you start from, and the circle / reticle I think will show you that that angle is. You can also dig flat tunnels down into caves this way. You may already be doing it, but you can shift-click on something to pick it up. This will put small items right into your backpack, or will put a medium sized item like the medium solar panel or wind turbine in our hands so you can carry it (just one at a time though)

[@MrTehNoms]

I'd be down for some Astroneer if you want to do more. Might get me back into playing it. There's been a big story update it seems. The sky looking like a 'dome' was not purely for style

[@AndrewmanGaming]

I figured the dome had some story explaination lol

[@sanga1380]

@@AndrewmanGaming yeah, gl, it’s not the hardest game but beginners might struggle for the first hour or two.

[@vosechu]

There was a glorious time before the compass and waypoints where you would take your first run and suddenly realize that you had no effing idea where home was. I’ve spent many a night trying to find home, and weirdly, I look on those times fondly.

[@geoffwales8646]

Yes, it took me hours sometimes, but the tension of the long journey with limited resources for survival added to the game experience. I used to build giant pointy things as guides.

[@caked3953]

Awsome! It's been a while since I've seen this! PS: I really recommend the 10min. training session from the start menue ;) You miss some basic mechanics, but you got most preatty quick

[@AndrewmanGaming]

I may have cut out a bit of the time spent figuring out mechanics! The UI in particular is difficult to understand at first glance. I'll take a look at that training session!

[@BreynDedd]

There is no training session (i.e. tutorial) any more. It was removed by the developers. Instead, you have several information slides available in the Astropedia, which is accessible in the menu, or by hitting the F1 key.

[@karuta]

Watched this as the game is currently once again on sale - and after enjoying your current SE series this was a pleasure to watch :) And for me the reason to buy this game. Thank you!

[@queenA6db]

omg YESSS!!! please play more of this! youve just single-handedly reignited my love for this game. its sat there unloved in my library for a while!

[@samurban6058]

Awesome to see. This game is right up there with space engineers for me. It was even the first game I ever got 100% achievements for. I hope you enjoy it.

[@JoshuaJXK]

I had the same thing happen

[@chocobox45]

Yeah I'm working on the achievements right now actually

[@cmdr_speedbump]

15:47 you are so lucky you found laterite in your first cave, and close by

[@cmdr_speedbump]

i had to go halfway round Sylva before i found a cave with laterite

[@VroomNDoom2602]

Some tips for ya. I've played this game since 2018 or so. You want to keep a soil canister on you at all times. When you dig, you can store some in the canister. By holding alt or shift, you can add terrain in a couple different ways. You can fold and unfold you medium storages. You can turn off your small generators when you don't need them. Just hover you mouse on stuff and see if there is a use function. Some small (1 slot) items can be placed on the ground and act as their own platform, just like the small generator and small printer. I think there is a tutorial level you can access from the main menu. The soil centrifuge is your friend.

[@i3xt3blackeagle]

what is the difference of folding or unfolding storages? not played a lot, but never found a use to fold the storage

[@VroomNDoom2602]

@Blackeagle functionally, there is no difference, except you can see all resources on a storage when it is laid out flat.

[@jonathantucker5534]

You can also terraform to make ramps to caves and make your base flat by using the C and V keys to switch between modes for your drill/Extractor.(14:24)

[@XDYFYBLYN]

he's gonna have to figure out how soil carnisters work first tho

[@JustZephyr854]

21:57 the symbol for the resource was on the top of the bin!

[@StoneTall]

I love to see you playing this. I found you through space engineers but I've played astroneer since pre release. From the very beginning. I'm gonna love this

[@suzukyuun]

i love ur commentary throughout u trying to figure out what you're doing 🥺would love to see more!!!💗

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Coming soon™️

[@aaron_d_henderson1984]

I also started Astroneer 1-2 months ago, since I didn't know about this game until recently. Sadly this game was my go-to after I found out No Man's Sky wouldn't run on my PC (even though it meets minimum requirements, but I've heard it's a bad PC port so the info isn't 100% correct on what they posted for requirements). Thankfully Astroneer is a good enough game that I stuck with it, and it also helps a bit that I used to play Minecraft (there's a few similarities but not a ton, mostly resource collecting and building). I just started on Atrox and it's not as tough as I expected, but then again if you do okay on other planets before going to Atrox it's not that bad apparently. On that note, I've played Space Engineers and couldn't get into it. But that's just me probably.

[@andreyemelyan5267]

Here is some tips: The power tips: - The generator(one that's powered by organic) is using organic while working, it uses organic always the same rate, doesn't matter if it's powering something or not, so mind to turn it off to not waste your organic (press F on generator to turn it off). - The tractor (and all of same type) have a battery built in, so don't run generator while zooming on it, because it's not using all of generated power. - Voltage IS a thing in this game, you can see voltage on power sockets, that yellow curved-around bar. - You can make modules work faster by connecting power supply, that adds voltage The landfill instrument: - Hold Alt to switch from digging to filling (it will use soil from container, that you built earlier) - Hold Ctrl to switch to flatten mode this mode is quite difficult to get hang of it, when you start holding LMB it selects polygon that's under your cursor and dig or fill terrain to make flat surface angled exactly like that polygon.

[@bouncethemoonofficial]

I just got into this game too, and would love to see more of this series from you!

[@jonathantucker5534]

(10:32) The reason the Printer was skipping things was because you have not researched very many things yet, and you can only see the things you have researched, (10:35) and for the research table if you were confused, the four pages are for the different sizes of printers, your backpack's printer, the small, the medium, and the large.

[@lordsherifftakari4127]

build trailers to tow behind the tractor and load them with storage racks to collect stuff. there are assorted attachments you can install on it like miners to make roads and paths. Space Engineers already has the self righting capability = it's called a Gyroscope! a little override in the right direction and your rover is upright again.

[@thomasscrap1627]

it's a great game, hope you'll figure it out

[@Oddesyus]

Awsome to see you playing this. Plus there are space trains

[@CabbageRoyale]

Thats funny, I though the landing pad was a stadium the first time I saw it too xD

[@Ian.Smith44]

you can press pause (it doesn't actually pause) and then click on the rocket tab and it gives you information for everything

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Thank you! That info comes in handy. I wrote it off as just the usual wsad tutorial every game has but it's a lot more than that.

[@Txtynado]

PLZ MAKE SERIES THIS GAME IS SOOOOOO FUN. If i see anything that you could do or need help with i will help if needed You still need that small printer. The bushes with the things you call *hats* they regenerate. The reason your large printer and other things are going slow is because they dont have enough power. Id recommend a bunch of small wind turbines and batteries Untill the end its you and yourself in your solar system. no animals 5:40. Spolier below There are 7 snails in early to late game to collect

[@Txtynado]

I could've worded this comment better

[@toythebrand2772]

I LOVED THIS GAME 1 YEAR AGO AND THAT TIME I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO READ AND DID NOT HAVE AN ACCOUNT AND NOW I HAVE ONE AND THANK U SO MUCK FOR MAKING THIS VID(sorry for caps)

[@kkbach90]

With the tractor Get a trailer for it as soon as you can. More storage but also you don't flip very easy

[@nathanharrison2]

dont feel bad about the snail shells. they are labelled as discarded. you also get more bytes out of them if you use a research scanner, which also gets bytes from those large green blobs and minerals. its usually double or triple the bytes given by hand scan items, those research items in the crates will give you nearly 1500 bytes. also the small printer can do things the medium cant. keeps things from being like SE with an advanced refinery and advance assembler. the tethers can be quick dropped from either shoulder slot or from the main pack. a good strategy i like doing is just mapping out a cave system nearest my base with a full pack of tethers and a work light. finding any crates is usually my main priority. wind needs that streaky effect across the screen to have enough wind, solar is more reliable but needs batteries to get through the night

[@exofunbun7785]

If you like Space Engineers and Astroneer I highly suggest Stationeers. It's great fun and fairly complex. 🐰

[@mcflame]

Yeah it's a pretty chill game to play where you always have something to do I just started back playing last week finally got to sylva core.

[@jeb-the-doomed]

This game is a gem forgetten by the internet. A hidden gem if you will.

[@Christhulhu]

Hey! At least no crash landing, like in SE :D It's nice to see u in a very simular game to SE here :)

[@Brony22]

love this game. you should have built a trailer for your tractor so you can carry things around lol

Full series please!

FINALLY SOMEONE PLAYING ASTRONEER IN 2023 I’m subscribing because of this

[@Daakusutepsu1]

Haven't played it since 2019, but it's on sale in steam. Gonna have to buy it.

[@Mxdem88]

I've been playing Astroneer for 5 to 6 years, and I have to say it is a joy to see people enjoying the game for the first time. It's also pretty sad that they can't pull a proper tutorial to ease people into the UI and mechanics. So much unnecessary suffering doing even the simplest of things. But still, loved the energy!

[@Zerovanii_]

If you make more of this, I will watch more of this.

[@RipMeGaming]

Same yesterday, it's good I just wish there was a bit more tips on resources from the game and enemies not just plants...

[@tekbox7909]

Looking forward to seeing more of this

[@MightyAssa]

You convince me to buy this game. Looks fun

[@mrtest8]

Where is episode 2? :-)

[@zengrove]

I'm currently looking for third person space exploration. Which one is more recommended? Astroneer or No Man's Sky?

[@AndrewmanGaming]

I can't really say. I've only played like 2 hours of Astroneer so I really don't know how far it goes with the exploration. Space Engineers on the other hand is more of a sandbox game than an exploration one. There are some scenarios you can play that have populated areas to explore but for the most part it's an empty world populated by the things you add to it. If you want a proper exploration game, you could take a look at something like Elite Dangerous which boasts a 1:1 simulation of the Milky Way galaxy with supposedly 400 billion star systems. It's not really for me since I prefer the sandbox style of Space Engineers but if you truly want exploration, that might be more your speed. That or No Man's Sky lol.

[@jonathantucker5534]

I got this a couple months ago one of the best games I have ever played, Though I am still in my first playthrough

[@nikhilsanade9175]

what is the purpose of this game?

big fan of space engineers and i would honestly have recommended playing the tutorial first but overall im excited for you to play more!

Kinda like Duplo Space Engineers, still can be fun and you can do some cool automation stuff. I haven't played since they added slugs, but the new trains looked pretty fun.

Tbh this is the best game I've ever played, yes I've played ragnarok. Its just something so fun about this. The exploration, crafting, resource making. Best game ever.

I haven't played this either looks fun what's Space Engineers? 😉 hehe
