As a seasoned Astroneer with countless hours spent traversing the cosmos, I can confidently say that the Large Shuttle is the pièce de résistance of spacecrafts in this game. It’s not just about the stunning visuals or the thrill of exploration; it’s about the practicality and efficiency that comes with hauling mountains of resources between planets in a blink of an eye.


As a cosmic wanderer embarking on my Astroneer adventure, I’ve gotta say, the diversity of planets is nothing short of breathtaking! Each one sports distinct landscapes and hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. Every step I take across these celestial bodies unlocks new vistas that leave me awestruck. It’s like a never-ending journey through space, with each planet offering its unique resources, making the exploration both challenging and visually rewarding.

In order to fully immerse yourself in the Astroneer universe, it’s essential that you acquire a shuttle, whether it be small, medium, or large. Smaller shuttles are ideal for early and mid-game play, but as your game progresses into the late stages, transporting large quantities of materials between planets becomes necessary. This is where the Large Shuttle proves particularly useful.

The Giant Spacecraft, which is our final space vehicle, boasts the greatest carrying capacity among all its counterparts. It can only be constructed using a massive 3D printer and needs 5,000 units of data to activate. This spacious spacecraft accommodates big modules that occupy four slots, including extensive storage platforms.

On one side of The Large Shuttle, there are two slots that connect with four items each, while the opposite side features a slot connecting with two items. By using suitable storage modules, players can access as many as 600 individual storage compartments, each capable of holding a single tier.

To craft the Big Shuttle, which serves as an endgame item, you’ll need to gather substantial resources. It’s advisable to construct it only after you’ve extensively explored many planets. Although this shuttle is handy for swiftly transporting vast resource quantities, a few additional Solid Fuel Thrusters on a Medium Shuttle can perform the task, albeit less efficiently.

The Large Shuttle can only be crafted from a large printer and requires a lot of resources:

  • Ceramic: Can be easily smelted from clay.
  • x2 EXO Chip: Obtained from EXO crates that can be found scattered on the planet, mainly found in the cave systems.
  • Titanium Alloy: Needs to be crafted in the Chemistry Lab using Titanium and Nitrogen.
    • Titanium: A refined resource that can be obtained by smelting Titanite. Titanite can only be found on Vesania and Glacio.
    • Nitrogen: Can be obtained from the Atmospheric Condenser on Sylva, Vesania, and Atrox.
    • Graphene: Can be crafted in the Chemistry Lab using Graphite and Hydrazine.
      • Graphite: A simple resource that can be found on all planets in mountainous biomes.
      • Hydrazine: Can be crafted in the Chemistry Lab using x2 Ammonium and Hydrogen.
        • Ammonium: A simple resource that can be found on all planets.
        • Hydrogen: Can be obtained from the Atmospheric Condenser on Sylva, Calidor, Vesania, and Novus.
