Feature Updates
Project CHEER Delivery Event
It’s time for helpful Astroneers to lend their skills to EXO Dynamics in support of the yearly holiday toy drive! Find and transport toys scattered across planetary surfaces or rig up your own printing production line for delivery via the EXO Request Platform module.
Container wrecks have been spotted on Sylva, Desolo, Calidor, and Glacio surrounded by various toys and debris. Production-minded Astroneers can create fresh toys via the Small Printer using Scrap and other resources.
It is curious that shipping containers keep crash-landing on planets in the Sylva System around this time each year... what’s going on with EXO’s logistics department? Must be a weird glitch in their subroutines. Maybe that explains the weird containers ERROR//LU-C1D filtration at 63% HelpHelpHelp that have been reported on Sylva, Desolo, and Calidor.
Packaged toys are worth different point amounts when shipped:
- 20 Points – Automaton 001s & 002s
- 35 Points – Cubic Objects
- 50 Points – Stellar Objects
- 75 Points – Cosmic Baubles (Printable from Small Printer)
- 125 Points – Astral Figurines (Found on Glacio)

Special Event Missions
To support event-related communications, special missions have been added that will appear in the Mission Logs of players when a new event is active. Players only need to activate an EXO Request Platform rocket to start the current event and complete the mission.
Community Reward
As with previous years, all package points will go towards unlocking a global total that will grant everyone in the community a FEZANT hat! We will be tracking progress via social media so when you complete the event, you can continue sending rewards to help make sure the gift gets unlocked for everyone!
Tether Toppers
Multi-colored lights return to adorn the tether lines of intrepid Astroneers! Use them as decorations, in support of your construction projects, or simply enjoy their merry glow
