Shelter

The Exo Habitat is a structure in Astroneer. When beginning a new game, upon exiting your initial Dropship, the Exo Habitat will construct itself, along with a nearby Landing Pad, and turns the surrounding Terrain into a blackish-gray soil that is only removable with a Drill Head ('Hard' Terrain).

Uses
Once constructed, the Habitat acts as:
 * The hub of the player's first base
 * A place to protect yourself from the deadly effects of storms when entered
 * The game saves each time the Habitat is entered
 * A respawn point in case of death (to act as a spawn, you must enter the habitat at least once)
 * An infinite source of Oxygen and Power, with power generation equal to the rate of a Small Solar Panel

The habitat has two Tier-1 slots on its side to attach up to two items, as well as four power connectors to expand your base outwards.

Trivia

 * A common known bug can be caused by the Habitat. If a player dies while entering a Habitat, they may die inside of it and be unable to access any items on the corpse.
