Limited Time Event

Limited Time Events, or LTEs for short, are events that are run by System Era, sometimes in benefit of real life charities, or just to give players rewards for playing certain parts of the games. They give cosmetic rewards, as well as care packages of different useful items, depending on the LTE.

Current LTE
The EXO Automated Mass Production Protocol is the currently running LTE, rewarding players for making use of the new Automation items, notably the Resource Canisters, Auto Extractor and Auto Arm. It requires players to provide specific amounts of resources, and is the first LTE that does not add up points for turning items in.

Past LTE
Astroneer has had two previous LTEs, both requiring players to provide different items in exchange for recovery points.
