Creative Mode

Creative Mode is a mode in Astroneer that allows players to create anything they want, with no need to gather resources or bytes.

Creative Mode comes with the ability to fly around freely, without needing the use of Jet Packs. It also features the ability to use Terrain Anchors to lock the LOD level at maximum, allowing players to view builds from further away with no loss of detail.

Playing in Creative Mode will disable achievements permanently in the save file.

Creative Menu
The Creative Mode menu is accessed in the menu with the following options:

Creative Controls
Creative Mode has various controls to do different things compared to the regular gameplay. They are as follows:

Creative Mode Research Catalog
The Research Catalog behaves differently to the normal catalog. Instead of using Bytes to learn blueprints, the player may pop out the item directly by clicking the button. The catalog includes all blueprints available in the normal game, as well as Item Plinths, a category for Resources and Seeds, Technology Research Items and Samples, and a category for all items combined.

Creative Tool
The Creative Tool is similar in function to the Terrain Tool, with extra functions. It can raise, lower and flatten terrain, with two new options to pick color directly from surrounding soil and a painting mode, removing the need to use Terrain Analyzers and a Inhibitor Mod to paint terrain. Pressing while holding the tool will bring up the Creative Tool menu, with options to change deform speed, size and range of the reticule, and an option to ignore hardness while digging. Below those are color options, allowing the player to select from a preset of colors on the left, and all colors found on the planet on the right.

Aero Drone
Aero is a camera drone that is only available in Creative Mode, and it allows for players to get clear views and can be used to take better images or videos without a player being in the frame. There is an option to toggle on and off the UI in the Creative options menu.
