ASTRONEER Update Patch Notes April 2020

EXO Salvage Initiative LTE

1. Players have been requested to assist EXO in cleaning up all the debris items that are littered around the planets for permanent cosmetic rewards and in-game goodies.
2. Of particular interest are any large cargo containers that have gone missing from EXO’s manifests – return these for major points! Rumor has it that these fell only on a few planets, but have caused a delightful atmospheric effect….
3. This event introduces secondary rewards that are delivered to players via a return rocket at the EXO Request Platform.

Event Rewards

1. “Turret-a-porter” Mask – Rewarded after achieving 1500 recovery points.
2. “4ML A-TYRE” Hat – Rewarded after achieving 5000 recovery points.
3. “Salvage Chic” Palette – Rewarded after achieving 8000 recovery points.
4. Useful incremental and recurring rewards along the way!

1. Players are now able to destroy T4 or “massive” debris objects found in the world using Dynamite. Larger debris objects will be reduced to a collection of generic new smaller tier scrap components.
