The Astroneer Iceberg Explained

hey there friends my name is glorious and today i'm going to be showing you the astroneer iceberg i actually made the astroneer iceberg with the help of the astroneer community on this astroneer subreddit and i spent lots of time researching these points that y'all gave without any further delay here's the video chess pieces the chess pieces are small items you can find on the moons of silva and vasania these objects known as stone figurines on the astroneer wiki are scattered above and slightly below the surface on the moon silva also known as desolo there are jasper figurines that have a light brown color the other moon novus contains the lapis figurines that are shaded blue 32 chess pieces are needed in order to play a normal game of chess however the alternative way to play chess is just to make a holographic figurines by using plastic the main question astronauts have is where do these figurines come from most likely they're pieces of cargo from past astroneers that have been scattered but there's also the chance that these figurines are actually from an alien life that was on the moons prior to the astroneer's arrival probes the probes are wonders in the game that resemble real-life historical space technology such as the hubble telescope on caledor and the sputnik satellite on aatrox probes were introduced into near in the wonder update and brought seven of these historical probes into the game these probes are required to be found and activated in order to get all the achievements and trophies in astroneer once activated each of the pros will emit two streams of audio back to back on loop a spectrogram image and a message written in morse code vehicle bay the vehicle bay is now removed piece of equipment that was required to build any type of vehicle this differs from what is in the game now because currently to build a vehicle we just need to use either a medium or large printer depending on the size of said vehicle but back before the vehicle bay was removed from the game you'd have to have a section of base dedicated to manufacturing gateways the final entry in this section is the gateway chambers once activated these alien-like structures will allow the player to teleport in between activated gateways and cores once two or more planet cores are activated this will allow the player to teleport in between the planets with ease planets are required to be activated in order to complete the main storyline of the astroneer and will also give the player outfits based on which planet has been activated below the surface oxygen and power crystals oxygen power crystals were resources in the game that would give the player oxygen if the crystals were blue or power if the crystals were yellow when mined with the terrain tool these crystals were later removed from astroneer without a clear reason and not many people talked about it but to my surprise when asking about them in the astroneer subreddit many users talked about the resources with joy satellite pilot a popular question among the astroneer community is about who the pilot of the exodynamics satellite is the reason this question is asked is because no other astroneer can be seen inside the satellite in cutscenes however we do see the satellite moving and orbiting the silva the only thing we have we have seen ourselves is a half-eaten burrito next to a computer in the final cut scene of the game perhaps the answer is that the burrito is the pilot however a highly more likely explanation would be that either the satellite is piloted by some sort of ai developed by exodynamics or it could be controlled by exodynamics themselves however the ai is the most likely answer snails glasser pods or more commonly called snails are relatively new type of fauna that may be found in astroneer these nails can be unlocked by following missions from the xenia biology lab that will give the player interesting information regarding said snails once unlocked these snails can be fed by the player in order to get useful powers like extra light or immunity to fall damage the snail unlocked on desolate named usagi can be very important for players because it has the ability to display nearby items of interest when given plant seeds his favorite being the mutant his bind seeds usagi can be easily used to locate the chess pieces that were previously described spires spires used to be an item in astroneer similar to the oxygen and power crystals however instead of growing out of cave walls these spires would grow on the surface and had the ability to give power and oxygen with the addition of resin or compound generally the spires would give the player three stacks of the associated resource and would regenerate after one day in game these were reportedly removed because of the resources being too easily renewed and resin and compound did not have a limit spires were commonly called geysers or fountains storms the final entry in the second layer is storms storms are now a removed mechanic that a lot of the community misses in some ways storms used to periodically blow through where the player was located and in order to stay safe in the flying rocks and debris players would either need to enter their habitat or use their terrain tool to make a hold to sheltering just a second ago i stated that many players missed the storms in some ways because the storms were a unique mechanic and made the planets more lively however some players did not like the storms because of the rate at which they would happen and make the players not able to play and have to hide under the iceberg micro transactions micro transactions came to astroneer in the form of cosmetics this being different dances or outfits the player could buy however these micro transactions are frowned down upon because the average player's skin is around 10 usd while a very short animation for your character is 5 usd this can be seen differently by every player and what it comes down to is the player's choice if you're interested in learning more about what the community thinks of this i'll leave a tag on the top right of the video now that will lead you to a video by trello false ground false ground is an astronaut glitch in which your items will randomly fall through the ground this is an extremely annoying glitch when this happens to your valuable loot or when you're trying to travel on your vehicle when you clip through the ground this glitch is pretty much known by anyone who has ever played astroneer because this pretty much happens regularly change of solar systems over the years planets in astroneer have changed names examples of this are the starting planet terran being renamed to silva and the planet known as exotic becoming vasania these changes however have created the theory that we are actually changing solar systems when the game updates as you can see by the comparison on the screen exotic was a blue planet while the current planet we have is purple these planets might not even be renamed but could be completely different this theory is further supported by the final cut scene in the game where we discover that there are many different realities for our character to follow and discover the deep waters xenobiology lab the xenobiology lab is a mission structure that is from the ess trident according to dr ines's logs from the xenobiology lab the triton was on its way to lubus prime when he picked up an anomaly and changed course to investigate on the way to investigate the anomalous reading the triton was attacked by unknown assailants during this dr inest sealed the lab with the previously mentioned galastropods inside who or what attacked the ess triton is currently unknown but it allows us to realize that in the future of the game there could be hostile creatures added to the game the ess triton is presumed to be destroyed the wanderer the wonder is a humanoid creature that can be found throughout the game he can be spotted when activating probes and what appears to be a white portal that resembles a tear so far the wanderer seems friendly but we have not been allowed to learn much if any information about him at all the one observation i've noted is that the portals we see him in can also be seen when interacting with marbles in the new update and the final time we see the portals are at the end of the game when our character ventures into the unknown hydrazine this entry on the iceberg is referring to how hydrazine was an incredibly easy resource to get when the game was new atmospheric condensers could be used directly to get hydrazine without needing to craft it this is an extremely easy way to get hydrazine however this has been changed a lot because now you need to have an atmospheric condenser along with ammonium just in order to craft hydrazine what we can get what we can see by this is that hydrogen will become more hard to get and more valuable as more items in the game will be using it marbles were originally going to be higher on the iceberg before the new update was released before marbles were just a cool item in the game that you could find that were rare but they didn't have much lower these items were jokingly worshipped as gods of the astronaut universe even though all they did was produce a nice light now however we learned that they are actually a failed experiment that also comes from the ess triton and are officially called lrds the reason the marbles were moved down on the iceberg is because some of the descriptions of the marbles are actually kind of dark when looking into it saying things like warning the player that the marbles are not their friend and how they speak in the dead of the night more descriptions tell that the marbles actually whisper if you're interested in a video looking deeper into this let me know in the comments and i'll further investigate and make a video for you the abyss dead bodies when you die an astroneer you can return to your location of death and there will be your backpack with your resources on it so that you can recollect them your dead body will not be found anywhere around the location and the old astroneer however your body as well as other bodies could be found around the caves on planets this is really dark and out of place when considering the bright and happy atmosphere astronomer gives off this is most likely removed because it didn't match any other part of the game clones the final entry on this iceberg is one that is believed by pretty much everyone in the astroneer community the theory is that you aren't actually a unique person going on these adventures but just a clone this can be supported by the fact that exodynamics will send these clones to solar system to gather information without really giving any regard to their lives but the main point that supports this theory is from the end of the game when you complete actionair and your character ventures into the unknown the computer becomes confused because you're no longer there and a display can be shown that looks like it's printing a new character moments later the previously np satellite ejects a new pod with an astroneer inside assuming that it will finish your job that is the complete astroneer iceberg for the current lore of the game if i missed any points be free feel free to comment down below and i might have to make an update video if you all find enough good things all these points on the iceberg i got from y'all in the astroneer subreddit we now have a official discord for the channel if you're interested the link will be in the description on there there are memes we can talk to each other y'all can ask me questions and request videos i also post updates about the channel thank you all for watching remember to stay safe you
