Astroneer Megatech

Astroneer Megatech is an expansion for ASTRONEER that adds large-scale base-building and end-game challenges for advanced Astroneers who enjoy automation. It introduces three Megastructures, along with mission chains that unlock exclusive cosmetic items and other rewards.

Megastructures

The expansion adds three structures, each with its own building and progression systems:

• The Orbital Platform: Build a space base on a large platform that can expand with additional terrain platforms. At its center, you can reshape your asteroid and alter its infinitely regeneratable soil.
• The Biodome: Unlock flora-growth and harvesting technology to collect seeds on a larger scale and produce Mega-sized plant variants. Balance automation against a wilting mechanic to get the full rewards.
• The Museum: Display up to 7 collections of items found during your travels to unlock perks, or create displays for fun. Contribute bytes, resources and power to track your base-building efforts and unlock milestone rewards.

Missions and rewards

Completing stages of the new mission chains unlocks exclusive cosmetics: the “Cosmopolitan” palette, “Under the Sun” hat, “Tableau” visor and “Haywire” mask. Other rewards include the Melodic Mushroom, which plays a tone when activated or bumped into.

To access the Megastructures’ Construction Anchors, find the “Large Scale Learning” mission in the Mission Log and build the DLS (Distribution Launcher System). You must build at least one Megastructure other than the DLS to enable construction of the Orbital Platform. The expansion works with existing saves and builds on progress already made in the game; you can also start a fresh save.
