Hoverboard

The Hoverboard is a personal mobility device in Astroneer that allows for faster travel than by simply running.

Source
Players will obtain a free Hoverboard and its Schematic from completing a chain of Missions:


 * By completing To Parts Unknown, players will unlock Prototype Recovery.
 * Finding and blowing up the Vehicle Data Recorder on Desolo and retrieving its EXO Chip will unlock the mission Tracing the Transmission and reveal the location of the MAT.
 * Finding the MAT and slotting an EXO Chip will unlock two missions to bring two each of Copper, Zinc, Plastic, and Aluminum Alloy.
 * Once all eight resources have been provided, the last mission, Onboarding unlocks.
 * The player just needs to activate the MAT, in order to be able to collect the rewards: The Hoverboard, its Schematic, as well as a QT-RTG.

Uses
The Hoverboard requires being placed in the backpack, and can be activated by simply double-tapping the jump button (default PC:, Xbox: , PS4: , Switch: ). It will activate from any slot, including those on the Terrain Tool, and can be activated with context keys when placed on the Widget slots.

While active, the Hoverboard will drain 1 Power per second, requiring the player to have a constant source of power, such as a QT-RTG.
