Atrox

Atrox is a Radiated Planet in Astroneer. It is the closest planet to the sun. It has a choked, greenish-yellow atmosphere with a surface that is made up of dark hills with luminous acorn-shaped rocks, deep yellow ravines, and shattered mountains, making it very difficult to traverse with rovers. Flora on and below the surface of Atrox is deadly, which includes Attacti, Spewflowers, and Wheezeweeds.

Atrox has the highest valued research items and research samples, with samples ranging from 70 Bytes on the surface, to 1,188 in the outer core, and research items giving as much as 14,400 Bytes. Power is difficult to maintain on Atrox due to the low wind and solar conditions. RTGs and generators are the best choice, as they require no input of wind or solar.

Notable Resources
Atrox has no notable resources, however, four gases can be found on the planet.

Gateway Network
Atrox has six Gateway Chambers, each requiring 30U/s of power for 30 seconds to be activated. 3 Medium Generators on a Large Platform B plus a couple of Small Generators or at least 3 QT-RTGs will be required. At least one must be activated before the player can access the Gateway Engine in the core of the planet.

Once a Gateway Chamber has been activated, the Gateway Engine opens in the core. Placing a single (full canister) in one of the slots reveals the Geometric Triptych. Placing the Geometric Triptych in the slot on the opposite side (above you) will activate the engine, revealing the Odd Stone and allowing teleportation to the core as well as revealing the inactive node for the Gateway Portal if it has not yet been discovered.

Atrox is the only planet that requires an Atmospheric Resource to activate the Gateway Engine.

Trivia
