Build your base and explore the planet with friends

What is the gameplay like in Astroneer? At the beginning you are transported to a planet in a space capsule and are initially faced with an untouched landscape.

You then gradually build up your base by gathering resources and using terraforming to shape the planet as you need it.

But always keep an eye on your oxygen gauge, otherwise you can quickly perish in the unfamiliar atmosphere. But you can also set up a line to your base that will provide you with a permanent supply of air, so that you can also discover places that are further away.

The solar system in Astroneer consists of 7 planets that you can explore. Race around in vehicles or explore cave systems and dig your way to the core of the planet. You will also encounter enigmatic phenomena on your journey whose mysteries you can fathom.

You can play the game alone or in co-op with friends and explore the foreign planets together.
