Astroneer is a sandbox adventure game played from a third-person view. Its open-world planets, wherein terraforming can take place, are subject to procedural generation, except some planet-specific resources. The player controls an astronaut (called an astroneer) who navigates on foot, by rover, through teleportation, or by spacecraft.
Crafting
Craftable items include rovers, buggies, tractors, spacecraft, storage silos, atmospheric condensers, research chambers, component smelters, batteries, generators, turbines, and solar panels. For example, ammonium can be converted into hydrazine fuel for an astroneer's spacecraft a single hydrazine fuel has 4 round trips to other planets, you can only have 12 round trips with 3 hydrazine which is the max you can have on a hydrazine thruster. Their is also a solid fuel thruster that doesn't require anything to fuel it but has a limited amount of uses. When low on oxygen, the astroneer recharges by using snails, portable oxygenators, or staying near craftable tethers, which can be chained over long distances to prevent suffocation. As of the game's full release, an "oxygenator" is required to provide extended reach of oxygen when tethering. To use an 'oxygenator", you must connect it to a shelter, or platform.
Terrain Tool
Every astroneer has a Terrain Tool, which allows the player to gather resources and reshape the landscape. Resources, such as organic material, quartz, lithium, ammonium, and resin, are neatly packaged by the Terrain Tool into convenient stacks. These stacks can then be snapped into slots on the astroneer's backpack, storage units, research chambers, etc. Specific resources, such as titanite or clay, can be smelted or combined into more advanced materials. The astroneer also has the option to research and craft upgrades to the Terrain Tool, which can be plugged and unplugged at will.
Backpack
Other than the Terrain Tool, the Backpack is the astroneer's main tool. The Backpack functions as the player's inventory and HUD, with two quick-use slots, eight storage slots, a basic 3D printer, a small internal power supply (shown by a column of yellow segments), and a built-in oxygen tank (shown as a horizontal blue bar). The Terrain Tool, which also has three slots that can be used for storage (or to attach modifications to the Terrain Tool), hangs from the side of the Backpack when not in use. The Backpack also contains the Research Catalog, which the player uses to unlock new crafting blueprints.
