About

Explore and reshape distant worlds! Astroneer is set during a 25th century gold rush where players must explore the frontiers of outer space, risking their lives in harsh environments for the chance of striking it rich. On this adventure, a player’s most useful tool is their ability to shape their world, altering the terrain and extracting valuable resources from planets, and moons. Resources can be traded or crafted into new tools, vehicles, and modules to create everything from massive industrial bases to mobile rover bases.

Optimization Tips

Performance is heavily CPU-bound in late-game saves due to complex terrain deformation and base automation calculations.
Limit your frame rate to match your monitor's refresh rate to prevent CPU overheating in late-game bases.
Reduce the 'View Distance' setting if you experience stuttering while driving rovers across planet surfaces.
Keep your base organized and avoid excessive loose items on the ground to reduce the physics engine load.
If playing on a laptop, ensure the game is running on the dedicated GPU rather than integrated graphics.
