Thank you so much for this video. I was gifted this game by a friend a year ago, and I've spent hours trying to figure out how to start playing this game. It has the worst tutorial I've ever seen in a game, and I've had no idea what I'm supposed to do or how to start doing it. This video has made me able to actually play this game!

Editing skills will come or can be bought. But you have the essentials. Voice delivery is great. Thank you and gl with channel. L/s.

The little research samples can be fed into a research chamber for a greater byte reward (about 4x bytes compared to sampling out in nature). They also grow back every day, so you can set up an auto-research station: research chamber, 2 small wind turbines for power(depending on the planet), and an auto arm to pluck the samples, all set on a large platform B, and you have eternal byte research. I tend to put these in the caves on Glacio when I get there, but a couple anywhere on Sylva would help with the early game. You can also research snail shells and resources. Even a single organic gives 50 bytes in a research chamber, albeit taking 2.5 minutes to do it. Still, if you're not in a hurry...

Thank you so much for this! I was struggling with the tether right at the start and just kept collapsing everywhere 😅 I was looking forward to enjoying this game but the tutorial is really terrible, so thank you for helping me actually get started. I hope you make more videos, I've subscribed!

I could watch and listen to you play Astroneer all day long. As others have said, you have a great voice and cadence for this kind of thing. Keep it up and good luck.

Excited for Part 2 to hear about the Gastropods and Oxygen! Nice video, great explanations.

Thank you for this video. When I started astroneer I was really lost and this helped a lot. And now I’m stuck again, because I seem to not find important stuff. So any guides on how to proceed or where to find stuff, how to explore without getting lost etc are greatly appreciated

Super, just right for me. Several things I didn't know, especially putting machines on large platforms to add automation to some extent. Hope you do/did more, I'm a bit further in at a "what do I do now" stage!

Another tip when gathering, if you switch modes such as the up arrow that picks up land, every resource in that area will be picked up at the same time. Making it a bit faster early on

I got this for Christmas and I want to play it but dont even know where to start. Glad you made this I was so confused

Great guide 👍 just want to point out some parts of the video did repeat

Thanks man, me and my friends were loving the game but we were also a little lost. So thanks man hope you’ll keep it up :)

I also found out if you put the sample in the research chamber, take it out right before it finishes and scan it to get even more bytes.

New to the game and this was a great guide...keep up the good work.

I was actually running around for half an hour before I realized I could open that tab. I’m so smart 👍

The fact that I couldn’t even figure out how to sprint or even pick stuff up on a controller 😭this helps with a tutorial even if not on controller very helpful cuz dam was I stuck on what to do lol

amazing video man keep up the great work!!!

Thank you I couldn't find out how to play this game!

Take all the dirt, make it useful, then dig straight down. It’s fun for sure but for the most part that’s how you beat it. Also I forgot the names of the machines, I played the very first couple of builds and it was not very vehicle friendly to say the least 😅 for online that was

thank you for the video took me watching this video to figure out a research list existsed to unlock the smelter anddddd to make mods in your backpack lol

8:37 Deja vu You've put/told the same thing twice 😅 But still, a great video, didn't know what do to with those exo research stations : D Edit 1: Same with the oxygen tanks 15:03 :/

HOW DO YOU USE THE TERRAIN TOOL!?!?! I CAN'T FIGURE THIS OUT THE STUPID CONTROLS!?!?

Thx for that video it is now in game pass, but there is no damn turtorial and I stuck right now at the point with that thing what makes the printer? But only in my game it expand show this bluish thing under and no more. I give a another try but from a first start it is very bad at what you should do!

What is that power thing you just showed up with ? How where did you get it ?

I'm stuck on the Astroneering Bas(e)ics mission. I put the oxygenator on my Shelter and plugged a cable into the printer, but it doesn't let me "collect my starting gear from any landing pad." I'm trying everything, it doesn't seem to work... your video shows the same thing but it works for you for some reason???

Indescribably helpful to a noob like me

THANK YOU SO MUCH

Trying to follow this with my son but cant starting with the oxygenator because telling what needs to be done but not how

Thanks so much

Hey, I looked for the next one, and it didn't exist...! There seemed to be a duplication of a small part of the video near the end... made me wonder if I should stop drinking lemon water... it was the 2 oxygen tanks...

My controller has back buttons an RT just won't work but when I put it to my back buns it worked just fine

I figured out the oxegenator part when i had the research centrr

oh, i looked up a tutorial thinking i was dumb but no, the game just bugged 3 times in a row...... the mission that gives the tethers is fully complete and says there are rewards but there is no collection button on it, its empty. its asking me to place the tethers i dont have, i thought i had to craft them and came here to look up a guide, guess i will verify my game files and try again....

i thought i was just stupid but im glad that everyone agrees that the tutorial is bad

Great video! I would recommend having an intro or at least saying something sooner. I almost clicked off because I didn’t think you were gonna talk, and instead just play the game. Maybe I’m wrong but it might make more people stay longet

It might be me but im confused. Even with this tutorial Im on PS4 and its confusing to play. Fun as hell. But confusing

The controller controls for this game are so unintuitive that I nearly threw my controller through the wall and refunded this game. However, after watching some videos like yours and sticking with it, I did finally start enjoying the game at about 2 hours and 1 minute - just outside the refund window 😂

the tether did not drop for me and I dont think I can craft one

I’m sure this was pointed out but I quickly glanced through the comments and didn’t see it. 7:07 is repeated at 8:25. Thanks for the great videos though!

I'll have to start a new game. I cant find any compound or resin anywhere

I’m still stuck on how to make the smelter

You put the same clip twice I thought I was having a seizure

make the part 2👍

eEeearth .. 👽

1:11 OMFG. I've been messing around for a freaking hour trying to figure out how to find the small printer and oxygenator, and they were there the whole time?? They could have made it a bit more obvious

how do you get reaserch center

Make more guides!

how do you drop a tether

11:34 This is just a comment for me to get to the area I need too!

lat-er-ite.

You say this easy as pie. 2:00 "grab a tether and just drop it", well damn it how do you drop it.

Omg his voice is so hot

Veeenus

Uhmm why did u skip till u got the research chamber i dont know how to make it.

can you customize your astronaut?

The tutorial on the Switch is especially poor. First off, as soon as you exit the ship it covers that entire animation with the tutorial screen, teaching how to "walk" and "look around"... no I'm sorry, I think it just says "revolve" or... something like that. 🙄 Then, it tells you a couple decent hints and keys, it tells you how to pick stuff up (but not how to drop it), and that you need to "install" the oxygenator... which just means dropping it near the base... but it doesn't tell you the key binds for using the tethers or how to take things out of your bag... or... idk it's just really bizarre. I remember playing this before either on Xbox or PC for hours and really enjoying it... But man, has it been a pain to get started on the Switch!

This still didn’t help much because you’re playing on the PC and the controls are completely different on Xbox… I don’t mind trying most survival games, but I hate how many of them just drop you into the world without explaining anything at all about how to actually survive. 😑

F u am this game

this game... does not seem fun lol
