Landing Pad

The Landing Pad is a structure in Astroneer. A special Landing Pad is spawned next to the Habitat when starting a new game. Crafted landing pads function differently, and can be crafted at the Medium Printer using 2 and 1.

The naturally-spawned pad is used to spawn a startup package, which includes packaged variants of a Medium Printer, an Oxygenator and a Medium Platform B. Using the control panel after having spawned a startup package will destroy the platform and printer and spawn new crates on the pad. As it is a unique structure like the starting Shelter￼,￼ there is no way to destroy it.

In co-op sessions, the visiting players will land at the Landing Pad upon joining.
