An Awakening

Hello. I wanted to be sure you saw this. We will talk soon. Please pay attention when we meet. The task I have for you is very important.

You must finish all other priority missions beforehand. I will find you when you are ready. Do not worry. You will know when it is time.

Feature Updates

• New Mission Chain
  Per Astroneer[ERROR!#00] Protocol, recruits are expected to complete the following missions in preparation for this new endeavor:
  • Composite Perfection
  • Final Entry
  • Training Complete
    
    Please consult your EXO-certified mission log to verify your completion of these missions.
    
• Fault Finders & Advanced Trade
  Once [ERROR#%//HELP] has been completed, Fault Finder items can be crafted and deployed. Fault Finders which are activated and used to store a [ERROR//%!DENIED] can be used on the Trade Platform for the acquisition of extremely valuable or enjoyable items.

UX Improvements

Printer Control Panel Updates

Control Panels on the Small, Medium, and Large Printers have been updated with category-based navigation. Items are now grouped into separate rows, matching their grouping within the Catalog.

When entering a region on a planet, a location notification will briefly appear at the top of the screen. The current location can be redisplayed by opening the compass.
A travel notification will also appear at the top of the screen when traveling to a different planet.

Spaceflight

Stabilizations have been made to the camera when launching a shuttle into orbit, or traveling between planets.
