Previously, the only way to find your base after exploring was to look for the 'flag' over the horizon. The verbosely-named 'Mission, Power, and Compass Update' added an improved version of the compass that will show the direction to your base or any beacons, from anywhere on the planet.It may be quite hard to pull off on some planets with tougher terrain types, but it's still entirely possible. Every planet has the resources necessary to build a base, a basic shuttle and a thruster for it, so even if you lose your regular shuttle or run out of fuel, you aren't stranded.The gateway at the center of each planet happens to refill your oxygen, which is good, because bringing a vehicle or a line of oxygen tethers down to that place would be a nightmare.

Once the suffocation warning pops up, you have around ten more seconds to reach a source before you expire. Your backpack contains around 70 seconds of air on its own, and visual cues will warn you when you reach 50%, 25%, and near empty. Almost Out of Oxygen: A common occurrence when you stray too far from a supply source.While all planets are suitable for their own distinct flora, as well as having terrain similar to parts of Earth (with Vesania's floating islands and the mantle and core being the exception), none of them have a breathable atmosphere or a notable water supply. All Planets Are Earthlike: Partially averted.All Gravity Is the Same: All planets have the same gravity, even though they all are different sizes (and Desolo and Novus are moons).The planets are all abandoned by their alien builders. Every planet is secretly artificial, with all of them connected by derelict alien teleporters to a satellite far off in space. The entire Astroneer system is based around a network of buried teleporters. After the End: And also an aversion of Absent Aliens.
