Why Astroneer is the best space sandbox game

Welcome, buddy! Today we're talking about Astroneer, which in my opinion is the shining jewel in the crown of space sandbox games. Whether you're an experienced space traveler or a newbie to the genre, you'll be amazed by the meticulous design and endless possibilities of this game. It's not just any game, it's a journey - a journey you can embark on alone or with friends to explore and exploit planets.

And now, there's something to celebrate: a massive Astroneer update has opened the door to a whole new way of playing. Let's dive in!

The Custom Games Update - Rediscover Astroneer!

Developer System Era Softworks has recently released the Custom Games Update for Astroneer. This update unlocks new possibilities and gives you more control over your gaming experience than ever before. From hardcore permadeath to setting up precise scenarios and speedruns - anything is possible!

You can choose your starting planet, limit respawns, and even adjust multipliers for energy and oxygen levels. Want a challenge? Activate permadeath! If you die, your save file will be converted to creative mode. Or maybe you prefer a more relaxed approach? No problem! You can increase resource and energy production or even remove oxygen requirements.

If all these options feel a bit overwhelming, SES has created some pre-configured setups. Genius, right?

Pre-configured game modes and customizable game elements

The update also introduces pre-configured game modes to the Astroneer universe. But that's not all - there are so many elements in the game that can now be customized:

  • General settings
  • Starting items in the backpack
  • Respawn settings
  • Energy settings
  • Oxygen settings
  • Research settings
  • Solar system settings
  • Settings for entire planets
  • Biome modifiers (per biome)

In addition, the update brings brand new cosmetic items and improvements to the Astropedia.

Let's take off!

Now you know everything you need to know about the new Astroneer Custom Games Update. There has never been a better time to dive into this fantastic space sandbox! So grab your Steam Key, take the helm of your spaceship, and embark on the adventure!
