Astroneer Glitchwalkers patch 2 is now live on Steam

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I must say that the recent patch for Astroneer Glitchwalkers has truly piqued my interest. Having delved into various space-themed games throughout my gaming journey, this title consistently stands out with its unique blend of creativity, exploration, and survival elements.

The developers at System Era Softworks have just rolled out the latest update for Astroneer, named Glitchwalkers, which is now accessible on personal computers through Steam.

In a blog post on Steam, they announced that Patch 2 for the game Glitchwalkers has been released after about a month. This update includes some gameplay tweaks, bug fixes, and tutorials for new players to help them understand the game better. They also wanted to express their gratitude as it marks the 8th anniversary of their original Early Access release on Steam. The continued growth of Astroneer is due in large part to the support from all of you who have stuck with them through their accomplishments, setbacks, and team development.


 

Here’s the details, first up the updates:

  • Storm Power Behaviors | Storms add to the natural wind value at any location, scaling up near the eye of the storm. Solar power scales down near the eye of the storm. Power gameplay added to storms! Harvest lots of wind or get less solar power depending on your location within said storm.
  • Glitchwalkers Catalog Adjustments | All platforms will be unlocked with the first rootkit instead of the second rootkit. That means players can land and immediately start building a base!
  • Glitchwalkers Resource Adjustments | Added to Laterite in the Toxic Forest biome. We also plan to add it to other biomes underground to help players who want to live down there. This should cut down on trips up to the surface just for laterite.
  • Added a new Astropedia entry for the Glitchwalkers DLC, providing players with an overview of Aeoluz and key information to help them navigate the challenges ahead. This quick reference guide appears as a pop-up upon arrival at Aeoluz.

During the most recent annual update, the team not only addressed some bugs but also shared some insights into future plans.

  • Dedicated Server Support
  • Custom Games Support
  • Starting fresh “vanilla” saves in Glitchwalkers with no narrative restrictions
  • Various other balance and gameplay changes and enabling of additional rewards for owners.

Astroneer is out now for PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch.
