Storm



In Astroneer a storm is a weather event that can:
 * Kill you by lobbing heavy objects at you
 * Wreak havoc on your base camp by blowing away valuable materials
 * Toss your vehicle into deep crevices or caves, making them difficult to retrieve

Surviving Storms
To assure your hard won materials or Artifacts are not blown away, secure them using a storage or by affixing them to an empty slot in a platform (of any kind), a habitat, or onto vehicles.

To assure your vehicles are not blown away, attach them to a platform by driving close enough to connect a power hose (click on the clear hose to connect it)

To prevent death players can enter a habitat, quickly dig a hole in the ground deep enough to avoid flying debris, or enter a cave to wait the storm out.
 * The truck only offers protection provided the wind does not flip the vehicle, so taking cover in the truck by carefully entering a cave opening can be a wise strategy.

Types of Storms
As of Alpha (Jan 2016) players will only see dust storms. These can be heard approaching as a roaring wind and seen as a cloud of dust and debris.
