FINALLY! This game has a special place in my heart as it helped me through some VERY dark times in my life. It makes me genuinely happy to see RCE playing it.
it looks like the game actually works. when i played it, the frame rate would chug at 5fps most of the time in 2016. it was awful. retail version ,btw, not early access.
I love this game, and the sheer luck that RCE spawns next to an XL Landing Platform is amazing, but I immediately flashed back to the Planet Crafter series and his breathing problems there. I foresee a lot of corpse runs in his future.
On my first solo playthrough, one of my planetary bases (on Vesania) was one established right in the base of one such XL Landing platform. I pretty much just shoved all the Medium Windmills I proceeded to find everywhere on the slots at the top.
Crazy to see how much it's changed since I played a few years ago. I remember starting with virtually nothing and having the fun of discovering things as I went.
@@gregoryharris5170 The planets are actually full spheres, so you can dig straight through to the core and then to the other side. Though, there is "stuff" in the middle. It's kinda like one of those cream eggs but not an egg and also aliens.
It'd be nice if he warned us it was a Patreon series before the literal end of the video. Kind of rude to waste the time of people who can't support him on Patreon or don't want to.
@@AlfieASMR Er, since when? The entire point of Patreon is for people to send him money. And if he's posting these Patreon videos there for everyone regardless of whether they're paying him, it kind of totally defeats the purpose. At that point, he'd be better of just posting them to RUclips.
Fun fact, you can actually find the spaceship from the intro in orbit of the first planet and even reach it by building a tower that's high enough (it doesn't have collision though). May I also suggest building a "bridge" into space (I'm not sure if it can be called a bridge if what it connects to is space) by using the flattening tool and just keep going into one direction until the planet curves away from under you?
I've been secretly waiting for you to play, I'm so close to finally 100%ing the game and seeing you get through the slowest part is gonna be fun IMO Edit:Now I wished you didn't play this since making it a patreon-exclusively series makes it completely just paywalled
Agreed, he did the same with "Oxygen not included" which is another game that I really wanted to see him play "Astroneer" is top three also just amazing games!
@@CameronSalazar2113That’s so true! I was hoping about halfway through the episode that Matt created a series on yt for it, only to find at the end of the episode that it would be a patreon series
@@DaUltraInstinct I bet since it a exclusive the view count on them wont be much over 1k which is just a waste of content from a creator we want to see play these games. Sadly...
I'm so so happy seeing RCE play Astroneer, I say as I'm playing it right now on my newest end game save. It's such a fun, cute game, near and dear to my heart of being a space nerd. I have about 1.1k hours clocked on steam and I like to replay it so many times, try out new strategies and stuff. Alot has changed over the years so excited for the end of the year expansion. Have a brilliant time, there's lots to discover...
Fun vehicle that hardly needs effort to find (important early game when you're probably low on resources), very limited on bad terrain (i.e. both moons and Atrox) and in terms of utility (zero inventory space, zero power-sharing ability...)
Also nice in hardcore. I think I found something in my save, when I attached an oxygenator to the pad, it finished the mission that was soft locking it.
I absolutely love this game! I'm near full completion in my own world actually :) Gotta say though, your spawn was incrEDIBLY lucky getting all of those bonus resources and platforms right off the bat! Too bad you haven't used the gyrosphere on that platform yet though, you'll have a blast with it I'm sure XD
It is such a simple game but you can do so many things. I did the 100% a few months ago, it is fun until you get to the achievement to unluck every gateway🥲. Good luck
The in-universe technology in this game is wild. Like they have instantaneous cloning devices that self-activate the second you die, but somehow never advanced past the old timey deep-sea diver days where you needed a hose to deliver oxygen to your suit....
You need to plug the power into sockets with working cables (the red things), which don't need to necessarily be lit up as that only indicates that the platform is exposed to power
More of this please! I love this game! I streamed it myself for a few months and got to the end... and then a few months later, there was a huge update, so my "completion" is now far from complete and I still have a ton of stuff to do.
I really liked that Astroneer added all the things like quest rewards and the adorable little pets. Because you can just choose not to use them. It's like a wide variety of difficulty sliders - do you want a free mini power source? no, you want to unlock that youself? alrighty, don't hit this button buddy.
If you're moving something and you press F, it'll either put a small item into your backpack _or_ it'll put a medium item in your hands so you're carrying it. Also, as you've discovered, don't dig up Popcoral, they explode when you do.
I love this game! Also, it’s not possible to build up to the other planets, at least, not in my experience. I’ve spent hours and not gotten any closer. You are however able to build up to the original satellite that you spawn from at the beginning of the game. So that’s pretty cool.
Matt, the platforms that arent labeled as debris are still functional and you can pick them up to add to your base. Itll save you on resources since you got so freaking lucky with your drop location! 🤣🤦🏼♂️
So its official now? RCE gas become one of these creators that give one video then put the rest behind a pay wall and only gives mobile clicker games as main content
Research the research samples you find in ship wrecks and other wrecks in the research table thingy and you will get a lot more bytes instead of scanning
Great episode but I hate how it is just an ad for patreon. I guess it makes sense as that is probably where your main income comes from. You did the same with satisfactory which I was excited to watch you play. If you can make multiple thumbnails for Hydroneer then you can for Astroneer.
It'd be nice if you warned us before the end of a video that the series is going to be Patreon exclusive. I was interested in this series but can't afford Patreon. If I'd known it was a Patreon series, I'd have just skipped over it and spent that 20 minutes on a series I could actually watch isntead.
Although it gets points for the very strong shape, I'd say the engineering in the tower was a bit lacking this time. I'm starting to wonder if RCE is actually an Architect in disguise 🤔
FINALLY! This game has a special place in my heart as it helped me through some VERY dark times in my life. It makes me genuinely happy to see RCE playing it.
Same 🥺
Same lol
Finally I have been asking for a long time

@@isturbo1984 i think that was a problem only you had. Ive never heard of that before, but of course I didn't play that long ago.

I also spawned next to one!
I'm pretty sure the XL platform will always be generated close to your landing site.
@@headrockbeats If so that's a recent change because they were always on the other side of the planet for me
@@headrockbeats the regular landing platform will, but not the XL one.
Crazy to see how much it's changed since I played a few years ago. I remember starting with virtually nothing and having the fun of discovering things as I went.
Matt: "How deep can you go in this game?" Astroneer Players: [maniacal laughter]
Until down is up.
I haven't played this game but I think I know the joke at this point... explain to me like I'm five

So True
The depth limit is yes.
yes, more Astroneer please 😁
oh patreon only ☹

As a fellow British engineer we LOVE colonizing other things
💀
Until u get stopped by literally everyone and get left with a tiny island lmao
@@josephsettles8707 i mean we still do have a massive territory if you look overseas...
@@Emalting yk what u are right u have Canada I forgot about that one
Sees Astroneer. Hears "Hey there it's Josh" in my head. Runs away quickly haha
Imagine unexpectedly in real life. Like if you had to call 911 and that's how the phone were answered and your name is Grace.
"This guy eats beans on toast btw" 😂😂
0:19 "oh my goodness theres already stuff here" ... columbus finding the americas
this comment is underrated

A Atroneer playthrough would be amazing mate. Please do go explosring to find more power sources and generators to speed up your crafting.
Can u do some non patreon series? Plss
or at the very least have a series like this one be published when finished?
Everybody are pushing all the videos to Patreon. Don't forget us, please.
Yeah finally i love this game
saame ;D
Just wait until he finds out about the working gyrosphere on the platform waiting for him
Fun vehicle that hardly needs effort to find (important early game when you're probably low on resources), very limited on bad terrain (i.e. both moons and Atrox) and in terms of utility (zero inventory space, zero power-sharing ability...)
Also nice in hardcore. I think I found something in my save, when I attached an oxygenator to the pad, it finished the mission that was soft locking it.
Please do a playthrough of this game. Love astroneer!
Patreon only?! Laaaame
Man why are you making all the good series patreon exclusives😭
The curious item just provides lore and changes the skybox 14:47
There is no way rce is playing one of my favourite games that I’ve played for years. I’m so happy right now.
"This is another British simulator, set in the future" - top quote from RCE 😂
I’ve loved this game all the way back since ssundee played it, PLEASE do a whole play through
More Astroneer!!!!
We NEED it!
patrons only sadly
Thanks for putting out great videos, Matt! Much love from Alaska🫡
YES, FINALLY 👌. Just a shame he's missed out on the deadly box storms, the panic that would cause would have been hilarious to watch.

"I would actually eat a pea on a cob"
Says the Brit where they eat BAKED BEANS FOR BREAKFAST😭
Leave our beans alone 🤣
about time you cover one of THE best games ever. Also, excellent landing spot right next to a space port!
I love how I know of at least 2 -eer games and they're wildly different
This is one of my favorite games and it’s great that Matt is finally playing it
RCE I love you so much thanks for plaing my second favorite game
keep it up!!!
What's your favourite then
@@oliverfrots9300 i know i'm gonna get hate for this but my favo is minecraft
oh man a new series with new bridge reviews!!!!
Play from the depths and colonise neter for the glory of the British empire
Fun to see you playing this! Would also love to see some more Manor Lords 😅
Been waiting for this one. Commented about it awhile back but I didn’t persist. Hope he continues it

I wasn't certain if keeping your editors it the basement was morally right, but 17:14 convinced me it is fully justified.

British Space Agency theme music made me nostalgic for Kerbal. You need to go mess with that again sometime.
Day 1 of asking Matt to play Astroneer
LETS GO. Only took 1 day
Josh from Let's Game it Out absolutely crushed this game. Soo good
As a person living in Sweden, i loved that Milton Keyes stab!
I’m been asking for him to play this for the past 3 years I would love to see a RUclips series of this and I think a lot of other people would as well

Man, I would've loved to watch more astroneer from rce, it seemed entertaining

I like the editors more and more each video

I loved this game when I first played it
RCE PLAYING ASTRONEER?!?! Real
Can t wait for the next episode. This game is amazing
Oh shit it is a patreon exclusive well shit.
Everything’s on cob!!! The whole planet is on a cob!
Aww Booo...patron only, was looking forward to watching this further.
OMG I BEG U RCE
Do a series of Astronomer PLEASE!!
Edit: Oh.. it will be only for patreoneers :( *wink*
Omg what a throw back, I remember this
For the next vid, you can ride around in the hamster ball on the launch pad next to your base :)
I actually started playing this a while ago, and then stopped, so this video makes me want to keep playing! also, so exited for this on patreon :)
finally you play this
So its official now? RCE gas become one of these creators that give one video then put the rest behind a pay wall and only gives mobile clicker games as main content
7:26 if you put its own power source on it then you can use it
factorio is an another british simulator, you crash land on a planet, create a giant factory, and kill the locals in the process
This is such a satisfying game.
Remember Matt, if your storage is on a platform connected to a printer it will automatically pull resources.
I would watch many, many episodes of this
Very efficient tower
Use the pink plants seeds, plant them so you can get resources for bytes it goes huge in a hour
IIRC you can take the small research samples and put them in the Research Chamber too for some more bytes.
I used to play this game the whole summer last year with a friend , this game is really grindy !
Yes I have been waiting for this for ages
Really needed that oxigen tank and the drill upgrade, which makes you want the battery.
Don't attach power cells to your backpack or platforms until you need to use them, power comes from them first for some reason.
If you didn't beat it before, I hope you can now. It's a fun game, and now I kind of feel like trying it out to see what's new since 1.0.
Research the research samples you find in ship wrecks and other wrecks in the research table thingy and you will get a lot more bytes instead of scanning
Real Civil Astroneer
Almost 4 years posting RUclips videos congrats
I remember this game in 2018 man I miss astroneer
Great episode but I hate how it is just an ad for patreon. I guess it makes sense as that is probably where your main income comes from. You did the same with satisfactory which I was excited to watch you play. If you can make multiple thumbnails for Hydroneer then you can for Astroneer.
0:33 dont forget the concrete cows
very good video again keep up the work
Just started playing this game and you start playing it at the same time
I thought that my world was rare having one of those near my base, YOU HAVE IT RIGHT NEXT TO YOURS
Me and my brother were playing this game when I was 8😢😢
Cool, now multiple suns don't set on the British Empire.
It'd be nice if you warned us before the end of a video that the series is going to be Patreon exclusive. I was interested in this series but can't afford Patreon. If I'd known it was a Patreon series, I'd have just skipped over it and spent that 20 minutes on a series I could actually watch isntead.
Congratulations on starting right next to a wrecked landing platform. Them's rare.
Lol at "Milton-Keyneing it"😂😂😂
BRING BACK THE TIMBERBORNERS
YESSSSH ASTRONEER (spoiler: im hapy)
I love this game. I've been bugging you to play 😂😊
Please engineer peas on a cob!
I love this game, but I still haven't achieved my goal of completely mine out an entire moon.
7:40 thats what she said 😳
Please make a series!
Although it gets points for the very strong shape, I'd say the engineering in the tower was a bit lacking this time. I'm starting to wonder if RCE is actually an Architect in disguise 🤔
Good. Another game where Matt dies from lack of oxygen.
