Atlas passes worth it?

[septe]

I've gotten all three atlas passes via raiding manufacturing facilities. I have to say that I'm disappointed with what I get for all the trouble I have to go through to get said passes. I think the only time it was worth it was when I was in an observatory and got through the door and they had boxes and boxes to open. Other than that, it just doesn't seem worth it to me.

No, they are a relic from the early days of the game. They should be removed, honestly.

Are there more things that are a waste of time to get, In the current game that you could tell us?

The cylinders that require an atlas pass are the only things worth taking the time to open but usually by the time you can build an atlas pass you no longer need it.

they open special areas that have insignificant loot or just cool looking room setups, and the cylinders that sometimes have antimatter, as if that were hard to come by.

I keep one of each in my cargo zone. IOW I waste a whole cargo slot for a key/Atlas Pass.

1. Like said above, cool places on planets can be opened. If you RP, you can build a base around these rooms which can be quite nice inside. Even if you don't RP, they're cool to have as part of a greater base.
2. If you're short on randoms like carbon, or condensed carbon, the key-access rooms on the space station can often help you top up your stash.
3. Key-Access Canisters/barrels provide enough antimatter, condensed carbon and housings to keep one from ever needing to actively craft or search, if that's an issue.

I got one on my starting system. #1 was worth it early. Not so much later on

To be able to read extra lore in the locked rooms in space stations.

YES IT IS WORTH IT !
You only need ONE. It will not be consumed when you use it. Some rooms require the Atlas Pass to open a door, usually worth it to have it on you. But because you only build one pass, then use it ad infinitum, its 100% worth it!

friendly reminder that it works like the hyperdrive colors, you only need the v3 in your inventory to open all of them.

If you want to see what's beyond that door, then make an Atlas pass.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
