Novus

Novus is a planet in Astroneer. It is the moon of the exotic planet Vesania.

It's perhaps one of the most distinct Planets in Astroneer, with its thin foggy atmosphere and purple, forested and cratered Terrain. Activating its core in the Gateway Engine requires Silicone.

The day/night cycle on this moon is very fast, being ~5 minutes long, so Solar power is less viable, despite the high sun.

Gateway Network
Novus has two Gateway Chambers, at least one must be activated before the player can access the Gateway Engine in the core of the moon.

Once a Gateway Chamber has been activated, the Gateway Engine opens. Placing a single in one of the slots reveals the Geometric Triptych. Placing it in the slot on the opposite side 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.
