We're following the trend of lengthy Patch Notes with another chunky one today. Aside from the list of bug fixes and improvements at the end, we want to give a bit of a deep dive into one particular improvement going into this update and go into some extra detail on others.A lot of the Patch Notes this week are provided by the dev team, so they may be a bit more technical than usual. We are hoping that the additional context is helpful in understanding these subtle, but broad reaching changes.CHANGES TO POI SPAWNINGFixed a legacy issue where certain Mission items, like the Vehicle Data Recorde

If you have been living under a space whale, you might have missed that System Era has been working on another game within the ASTRONEER universe!

Hey all! Joe here again to share more news about what’s coming to ASTRONEER for the rest of the year. TLDR: We will continue our monthly updates cadence until at least the end of 2026. We’re also preparing something special for the game’s 10th anniversary at the end of this year.At the end of 2025, I shared our plans to release monthly updates for the game, focusing on bug fixes for Megatech content, but also other legacy issues in addition to quality-of-life improvements to the base game. Since then, we have made significant improvements to the game in addition to releasing the Megatech DLC f

We’re working on another update to give you more context on plans for the remainder of the year, so keep an eye out for that. That said, there’s one topic we’d like to cover now.

Note: We're currently investigating some player reports over a couple of the items in the Patch Notes and have made some edits for awareness. Keep an eye on the Live Bug Tracker for updates.Another month and another patch is out, bringing some notable improvements and a lengthy list of bug fixes. And before we get into it, we have some updates to share.For starters, Megatech finally saw its release on the Nintendo Switch last week! This brought the platform back into parity with all others and added all of the patches released for the game since the original Megatech release. As we hoped, this

The February patch is now available, and we have a sizeable list of fixes and improvements for you to review in the patch notes below. And while you’re here, we also have some more news to share. For starters, work is already underway for the March patch, and with this one we’ll start trying to address not just recent issues in the game but also legacy ones that have been around for some time. It’s worth noting, however, that one reason these legacy issues have stuck around for so long is that they are tricky to figure out. Some of these fixes might end up making it into later patches, but we

The previously unlisted fixes have been added in italics to better help distinguish them.Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great holiday season.We’re starting the year with a new hotfix tackling more Megatech bugs, and we’re already making good progress for the next patch in February.For some context, before the end of the year we shared a message to the community with insight into our plans for ASTRONEER in 2026.

Hey all! Joe here to follow up on our earlier message regarding the plan forward for Megatech and beyond. Now that we have released Hotfix 3, the work continues! Let's talk about where we go from here:TLDR: We are moving to a monthly patch cadence to fix bugs, longtime issues, and make quality of life changes for the first part of 2026 instead of focusing on new content. Megatech bugs and releasing Megatech on Switch will be first on the list, and then we will move on to things we should have fixed/changed a long time ago. Now for the full explanation: The team has been answering tickets, read

Our latest Hotfix is now available, addressing some of the more persistent issues present in the game along with a few more fixes we were able to fit in. Of particular note are the improvements for the partial nuggets issue and the issue where Xbox players who purchased Megatech via a bundle were not getting access to that content as intended. We also buffed the storage capacity of the new Large Canisters, so thank you for sharing your feedback. As we mentioned on our recent statement, we will continue to work on additional fixes in order of severity, but please continue to send your bug repor

To Our CommunityAll of us here at System Era and the ASTRONEER development team apologize to you, our players. The Megatech update does not reflect the experience we want our community to have. It also does not reflect our profound appreciation for the support you have shown us and ASTRONEER through the years. We were overly ambitious with our desires for Megatech and that bit us. Ambition is good when kept in check but disastrous when it impacts our ability to deliver a great experience at launch. This has been a painful but important lesson for our team. We are committed to fixing the game i
