MOD Ideas!

Okay. So here's a dreamers paradise. Where we can discuss MODs we'd like to see or make, that probably won't make it into the game from the devs.

Edit: Here's the link to their development roadmap: https://trello.com/b/UoZgKrd3/astroneer-road-map-planning

I'll start.

1. More fauna diversity, would love to also have gardening available. I want to decorate my base area with trees and rocks.

2. Player made satellites: I want to launch my own satellite that will scan everything down below and provide Base and beacon locations, as well as mineral deposits on the surface. Knowing where to go for compound or resin is invaluable in the later stages of the game.

3. Monorails: I would love to have a monorail I could make, that allows me to store energy, oxygen, and other resource minerals to transport large amounts back to Homebase. It could cause a lot of lag if I try to transport too much at any one time, but it'd still be cool.

4. Terrain deformation MOD: I want specific shapes that I have at my disposal. Cubes, triangles, spheres, etc. That I can use to carve, mine, or build up the terrain around me. My base would look like a cathedral lol. Need to be able to adjust the size of the brush, but it would definitely be a MOD I'd like to see.

5. Spaceships that I can walk around inside of, and upgrade certain "onboard tools", such as a small 3D Printer, a research station, and a satellite monitor so that I can access my orbiting satellite(s), to determine a route home and lay GPS way points to lead me there.

6. I want to construct my own giant solar panels for my satellites, and also be able to use them for my base.

7. ASTRONIUM!!! : Nuclear fusion is the stalwart of advanced civilizations. Maybe Astronium could be used as a power source for nuclear fusion power generators.

8. Another use for Astronium: Advanced building materials could be made using Astronium, to protect our satellites from meteors and space debris. At this point in time Astronium is rumored to be financially valuable and is the point of the gold rush. Right now, some sort of player economy could be created based around selling astronium. Why sell it though? We need something to spend our new wealth on!

9. A tunneling machine! For those excursions to planet cores, or just to strip mine a planet or moon!

10. And FINALLY!!! The ability to build your own spacestation, and move on to mining asteroids. Make the point of the initial bases to be to gather up enough resources to build your space station, where you will have a robotics factory and can mine planets, moons, and asteroids! Gather enough resources and build up your space station into a galactic mining ship! So you can move from star system to star system!


Anyone got your own ideas of what you'd like to see?
Reply and let us all know!

Feel free to check my YouTube channel, where I post videos of Astroneer gameplay, and will be hosting devlogs on my MODs for Astroneer when they officially open it up!
