Hardcore Astroneer - No Missions, Ep 1 - Who Needs Oxygen? 

😂Am I the only who was wishing the ball car would slowly roll away without him noticing at 14:56

The pain of you printing platform As instead of Bs 😂 one more resin for that extra storage! But hey you survived the first ep! I don't think I'd make it that far. Also you seemed to think batteries were later game, but I think it's just 1 zinc (sphalarite) once you unlock it. It's about as expensive as a small solar or wind I guess. Glad you found so much free power tho! Hmmm no missions means no snail friends.... I guess they're a bit op and it really adds to the challenge. Looking forward to the continuation of this 😁

Astroneer in its standard configuration is actually very easy to survive. I started on all the planets without the shelter and never died, not because I am such a good player, but because it's easy to get your hands on all the stuff you need for not suffocating in the first 2 minutes. A more challenging config is better, tinkering with the energy levels, the oxygen levels and the amount of hazardous flora being created around you, is the only way to make this game near unplayable. I have created configurations that will kill you in the first 20 seconds or less, and there is no way for you to survive it (the oxygen consumption is insanely high, the power consumption to create O² filters is larger than your backpack can handle, and you can't walk away from your starting location, because the number of hazardous flora around you is so high, that every step further away from your landing site will walk you into deadly territory... no way to survive this). So, you really have to make the game unplayable to die in Astroneer as a veteran player. System Era keeps implementing game breaking additions to the game, well "game breaking" in my opinion. The newest inclusion of the organic tap is an example of that. Took me a moment to understand that I can build infinite energy production stations with them very early on (before I unlock the shuttle or even the centrifuge). The easiest is 8 generators, 1 autoarm, 6 bouncevines and 10 taps producing organics from the vines... the result is a power station that produces 15 U's/s of energy... forever. With the infinite gas byte farm and 5 medium generators hooked up in a way that they can service 1 Atmo condenser, 3 autoarms and 3 research chambers (and a smelting furnace), this game turns into an easy endeavor to get everything you want or need beyond those setups. Before the taps you had a need to build RTGs, now you don't need them anymore - because even the simplest of energy production stations (the one with the 8 small generators) is more suitable to power your station, than going through the hassle to get all the ingredients you need to make RTGs. 8 generators nearly replace 4 RTGs (8 gens produce 16 Us, minus one for the autoarm, so 15 Us effectively for your base - 4 RTGs produce 16 Us). I don't know if the implementation of the organics tap was such a good idea. It makes the game just too easy now.

when you complete the goal, i would also like seeing you doing the galastrapod missions if you havent gotten tired of astro

Hey there: Just played through the "unbeatable" preset... I kinda have beaten it (I didn't activate the cores of the planets, so technically I didn't administratively beaten the game, but this really is just a matter of persistence and time investment, which I am not willing to do right now). I made it to the Smelter, Centrifuge and could build a rocket and leave the planet, which allowed me to go to the other planets, that do not have the scarcity of resources and harsh conditions as Sylva has in this preset. The gravity is 3 times as strong than normal (so falls from small heights more than your body height will kill you), you have only 4 respawns if you die. O2 is consumed 4 times as fast than normal; energy production is 10% of normal, research is 10% of normal, printing speed is 10% of normal (with only 10% power production, this means the printing speed is 100 times (!) slower in total; two freaking magnitudes!) and resources are very, very hard to find. So if you really wanna play through a very hard preset: This is it. Since I have "beaten" it, I can give you advice if you happen to be stuck.

Such a fun play through! I like how you can get from start to another planet so quickly with enough intention 😂

On my HC play through I used button repeater and proximity repeater on the respawn research nods as that does not use any power.

Yay I'm so excited lol I've watched you play this game and I've Bought it you've inspired me and I love this game so much thank you, your the best and can't wait to see more Astroneer❤

YAY! New Astroneer series! Love it!

Sooo good I loved the first series so I am 100% positive I will love this one too keep it going with the great content

A challange i did some time ago : No Multitool ( you can't dig, build and use it to increase your pickup range) was pretty challenging , gotta have a lucky spawn with some dynamite next to you (crashed ship, broken platform wreckage) to get 1 resin for a smol platform A to move your oxiginator, otherwise pretty enjoyable

I think you rushed a bit to make the shuttle. You'll need to research and build the landing pad to get mission rewards. They do work in this mode, but you have to build it first. Also, you need to research and build the oxygenator. Once you do, the game is more or less 'normal mode' minus the permadeath. Hope this helps. :)

It's cool to see how u didn't use the Tetris 😂

FINALLY someone doing this!! Thanks! :)

Absolutely loves this video, how often will you be posting this series?

❤

Don’t forget your oxygen filters!

It hurt to see you scan those inventory size research items, you could have used a research chamber for approximately 1000 bytes

Thanks to RU-vid for suggesting this video keep going

yay yay yay

you can do missions if you build landing pad

Wb to astroneer

yeah youtube algoritme actually doing its work :D random suggestion of smooth voice wonderful side monitor content from a low subscriber ive never heard about that i can follow along.

bro idk HOW but i watched it and i started hardcore also, and i got same seed same evrything
