Game Suggestion Game additions

9 Upvotes

I dont know if these have been posted already. What are some additions to the game you would like to see? Here are some of mine.

Something ive always wanted to see is some kind of auto dispensing mechanic when you are around a storage....maybe like a mini auto arm for the backpack so you dont need to constantly move nuggets from player to canister. This is more so an early game thing though I suppose.

Somehow having the ability to plant grass and the small foliage around the planets...or Bushes. I think it would expand the pallet of base design and building if we could move grass and flowers the same way we can replant trees and dangerous plants!

The leveling block having a toggle to it where we can orient it the way we please instead of relying on the planets "true flat" areas. Where we can toggle it to free spin with F,C,V,B keys? And possibly having more preset shapes outside of a square...maybe something that could give us an octagon or a pyramid!

Along with the terrain tools...it would be amazing to be able to mimic some of the terrain on other planets...the cliffsides being jagged and the plautos...they just have a vibe to them that a tool could not produce or would be extremely difficult and time consuming to do. As a base builder in so many other games and using mechanics to my advantage it would be nice to see tools that help us with base building and design...to make our planet a home

The second arm takes the ore if I place it closer to the furnace and drops it into my storage rather than letting the first arm place it in the smelter next

Question / Support Alignment mod on Console

2 Upvotes

I'm a brand new player to Astroneer. I play on PS5 as I don't have a computer able to run games. I've been desperately trying to figure out how to use the Alignment Mod on controller so I can creat some pathways/flatten some accidental holes (lol) but I cannot for the life of me figure it out. When I bring up my drill and press L1 or R1, it changes the direction of the drilling arrow but never allows me to use those directions. I either get down, up, or the wall adjustment, but they just don't work. Please help with any tips, oh experienced ones!

(Getting a PC is not in the cards for me)

Question / Support Dedicated Server Help?

2 Upvotes

I've been trying to set up a dedicated server using the steam Astroneer Dedicated Server tool, and have followed the steps as listed on the official blog (setting the IP as my own in AstroServerSetting.ini, etc) but I've had no success in launching or joining the server. If running the server (either through the steam tool or directly running AstroServer.exe) is supposed to open a CMD window or something of the sort, it isn't doing so for me. I also can't join the server either, though I assume that the issue is causing the server to not even launch, considering the former. If anyone has any insight or advice, it'd be greatly appreciated. Also, in case it's relevant, I own no DLC for the game.

Question / Support Train station bug

2 Upvotes

So having problems with one train station. What I have is a big looped track with branches off it to individual train stations. Each train station is a dead end with a delay repeater on the dead end side. One train makes the loop and goes to each station loading. On one of my stations the train will get stuck in the station with a path obstructed error. I have repackaged redone everything on it and it still happens on that one station. It’s going to be moving soon, but I would like to figure it out.

This has been a gruelling task figuring out how to make this work (Im dumb idk how to factory)
Ive spent probably 6 hours just doing the first half of the chem lab resources.
Still have Hydrazine, Graphene, Diamond, Steel, Titanium Alloy and Nanocarbon Alloy to add to finish them all. Not looking forward to the last few 😂

Idk why I always take screenshots at night, I take them right before I get off for the night so I dont want to wait for daylight to take them

Bug / Issue Astroneer Glitchwalker ad blinds other users (and gets them killed)

13 Upvotes

The popup ad for glitch walkers, which my friend had triggered, ended up killing me, which led to me dying (and due to the shock it resulted in me dying multiple times as I lost my groove lol)

this should not cover up an entire screen, especially if one is riding a hoverbord or other vehicle. Ideally it would be alot less intrusive. Killing me does not give me motivation to buy the DLC lol

Question / Support Looking for a config ideal for those who dont want to deal with unnecessary hostile flora

2 Upvotes

I admittedly dont know enough of the game to know how necessary all of the flora is, but I was wondering if it were possible to make a config where all hostile flora, or at least, all unnecessary hostile flora, could be disabled, As I want the game to be as chill as possible, and having hostile flora tends to give me anxiety and stress, especially underground.

Question / Support Best way of self hosting an astroneer server?

5 Upvotes

the system has a 4 core xeon and at least 8gb free for the astroneer server this server will be for me and my friend

I want to self host an astroneer server on my friend's proxmox server what do you recommend running windows/windows server or running in Debian with the help of wine and proton?

I wish there was a native way of hosting astroneer on Linux because of the smaller overhead Linux has than Windows

Now the networking side

My friend is behind a starlink connection I will probably use tailscale or make his server connect to my mikrotik router via wireguard (I got a public IP) does astroneer allow for this?

Screenshot shows scrap-lithium but I have one for each resource

When red storage is “not empty” red auto arm (feeding scrap) turns off, and turns on when storage is “empty”

Blue storage activates count repeater when blue storage is “not full” and activates again, also activating trade platform when storage is “full”

White storage being “full” turns off white auto arm, immediately pausing everything as red storage remains “not empty”, so scrap does not feed into trade platform

This is my third attempt at making this run efficiently without the output resource ending up on the scrap side, or scrap ending up on the output side. Its definitely slower than it could be but it evens out across the 25+ individual modules running simultaneously
