December 6 update has arrived for Astroneer and here’s the full list of changes and fixes added with this patch. The game was released back in 2016 for many platforms. It’s surprising the game still gets updates, and events expanding the playability. Today’s update brought a new event named Project CHEER. You will be collecting points and reaching the rewards at the event. Here’s everything new with Astroneer December 6 update and patch notes.

Astroneer December 6 Update Patch Notes

Project CHEER Delivery Event

Container wrecks have been spotted on Sylva, Desolo, Calidor, and Glacio surrounded by various toys and debris. Production-minded Astroneers can create fresh toys via the Small Printer using Scrap and other resources.

It is curious that shipping containers keep crash-landing on planets in the Sylva System around this time each year… what’s going on with EXO’s logistics department? Must be a weird glitch in their subroutines. Maybe that explains the weird containers ERROR//LU-C1D filtration at 63% HelpHelpHelp that have been reported on Sylva, Desolo, and Calidor.

Packaged toys are worth different point amounts when shipped:

20 Points – Automaton 001s & 002s 35 Points – Cubic Objects 50 Points – Stellar Objects 75 Points – Cosmic Baubles (Printable from Small Printer) 125 Points – Astral Figurines (Found on Glacio)

EXO Dynamics rewards packages received with:

1500 Points – Holiday Throwback Bundle Contains cosmetics rewarded from previous years: Hat: “Boreal Beanie” Mask: “Pudding Warmer” 3500 Points – Palette: ”Carbonated” 6500 Points – Emote: ”Shiver” 10000 Points – Hat: ”Seasonal Allure”

EXO supplies useful items and resources along the way to boost your recovery or production efforts. Randomized recurring rewards are available after completing the main event including:

  • Resin, Clay, Graphite
  • Packagers & Dynamite
  • Copper, Iron, Titanium, Tungsten
  • Small Power Items

To support event-related communications, special missions have been added that will appear in the Mission Logs of players when a new event is active. Players only need to activate an EXO Request Platform rocket to start the current event and complete the mission.

Community Reward

As with previous years, all package points will go towards unlocking a global total that will grant everyone in the community a FEZANT hat! We will be tracking progress via social media so when you complete the event, you can continue sending rewards to help make sure the gift gets unlocked for everyone!

Tether Toppers

Multi-colored lights return to adorn the tether lines of intrepid Astroneers! Use them as decorations, in support of your construction projects, or simply enjoy their merry glow
