10 RANDOM Facts in Astroneer!

I found a XL wind turbine on the surface of glacio, so....

Solar panels generate even more power on high sun planets like Calidor. You can often find intact solar panels on Calidor. Wind turbines don't generate more power at any given time, but the do so more often on high wind planets. There also medium and small horns that you can only find, not build. You can research small gas canisters.

Fun fact if you find downed satalites with a solar panel and a power slot you can use it for power

i swear the fog horn sounds just like the cyclops in subnautica

". . . . . because - ego" Man, you crack me up every time. 😆

5:46 I remember early Astroneer videos building whole bases around those mega solar panels

With QT-RTG and regular RTG, I await larger RTGs. As for power wirh turbine: spread them out, and not just along your base. I've been using the rails as connections along the surface as a combination tether, cable, and small platform with two slots. Use one turbine and one solar along the path, optimally. Or cheaper, all small turbine along the path. You can have a train of soil centrifuge and smelter and make clay/ceramic all day adding turbines. Thr only stuff you need to mine is aluminum and resin once the train is built. Then as the wind move all over the planet, your turbines pick up from wherever and all connected, delivers a stream into batteries. Sometimes I don't both with lithium if I find enough zinc for a small battery collection. Sure, not efficient use of resources, but the challenge of more power early game is fun. Especially when you use zinc for the proximity and delay repeaters from the research point plants.

I use number 5 always for dynamite with a larger radius. Sooo... It is semi useful, but still good.

3:28 I also found it accidently but since you can't interact with anything that requires your cursor (which is like, everything) then its not of much use. Maybe if you are making a theater trail and you want to teleport to your base faster? (but then ig you could just respawn?)

My favourite is definitely number 4: Glowsticks, suck

2:32 But i dont wanna have my base full of random small turbines...

I just like the achievement you feel making the larger power sources, man

5:45 used it once its so annoying to 1. dig it out 2. align it the right way 3. connect it to the system... sigh haven't played the game in like a year.

I have a big solar satellite thing near my base but I didn't know it produced such high amount of power, thx

Tip: rails are much better than vheicles early game, as they are faster, you can build them like tethers, and there is extremely liw risk of losing stuff due to falling in holes far away

love these tips and your content

Glowsitcks actually helped me to discover some caves because I don't need power and oxygen to see them AND you can actually use them in a buggy with your context keys. Next time you will try to examine new cave layer, put 50 of them in one slot of your buggy and don't worry if you lost in cave.

Alright... I'll admit it I hadn't expected such a succinct take after that in depth analysis and contrast of wind turbines so... I paused to write this comment because... I was mid-drink when #4 came through at 3:25 and may or may not have needed to clean-up after myself. 😅

Just so everyone knows the fault finder in fact two is only available with mods

I like your videos very well done.
