Heard y'all were waiting for us. The Elevated Update is here! 🎚️ Stacked Platforms 🖨️ Print Filters 🔋 Large Battery 🪲 Assorted bugfixes
White text in the top right corner reads "Astroneer: Elevated Update." An overhead view of a small Astroneer base on Glacio, prominently featuring the new Stacked Platforms in the foreground. The Large Stacked Platform stretches high into the air to accommodate the Large Printer in action on the lower platform. An Astroneer decked out in the Diamond Set stands atop its highest point, waving to the camera. In the background, among other important pieces of the base, is an Extra Large Curved Platform housing two of the new Large Batteries, with an Oxygenator sandwiched between them. There is a white System Era logo in the bottom left corner of the image.
