Medium Platform

The is one of the main building blocks of Astroneer. There are 2 types of medium platforms, the type A and the type B. The type A is shown on the right and it includes two 1-tier slots and one 2-tier slot. The type B only has one 2-tier slot. They are both crafted with the small fabricator using resin. These can be used for solar fields or serve as the core network of a base.

Uses
