The exploration inAstroneeris incredible. All the different planets, their different biomes, and the differentresources available on each planetmake the player traverse the expanse of space to progress, giving them stunning visuals in the process.
To truly experience this side ofAstroneer, players need to have a shuttle; small, medium, or large. The small and medium ones are good in the early and mid-game, but as players start to progress in the late-game, they’ll have to ferry large amounts of material between planets.That’s where the Large Shuttle comes in.
How to Unlock a Large Shuttle in Astroneer
The Large Shuttle is an end-game spacecraft that has the highest capacity out of all the shuttles. It can only be crafted with a large printer, andrequires 5,000 bytes to unlock. The large shuttle can hold large modules that take up four slots, such as large storage platforms.
The Large Shuttle has two 4-connection storage slots on one side and a 2-connection storage slot on the other side. With the right storage silos, players can have up to 600 1-tier storage slots.
