Small Rover

Small Rovers, also known as Buggies, are the first tier of land Vehicles in Astroneer.

Though they have a built-in battery, rovers need power to operate. However, they function as an unlimited supply of Oxygen when being driven or tethered to.The Small Rover is different than others rovers, as you can't connect the Small Rover to a platform or Habitat to charge it due to a lack of power ports on the vehicle. The Small Rover is much smaller and is not ideal for carrying loads or gathering resources (consider the Medium Rover or Large Rover for gathering resources and items such as research).

Utility
Consumes 1 bar of power in 210 seconds. Without an external power source or batteries, under continuous use, the 4 units in its internal battery empty in ~52 seconds each.

Essentials

 * 1-Seat - Is required to drive the rover

Power

 * By Module - via Power generating module such as, but not limited to: Generators, Solar panels, Wind Turbines
 * By Object- via collected Power (resource) or Power Cells

Storage

 * A rover base starts with four small attachment slots on its top that can hold 4 small objects. However, you must use 2 of these slots for a 1-Seat to drive the rover.
 * Small Battery - Increases the rover's power capacity by 8 bars or 1680 seconds (28 minutes.)
 * Power Cells - Generates 12 bars as necessary, increasing the rover's drive time by 2520 seconds (42 minutes.)
 * Small Generator - Generates 25 bars; Z or X buttons can be used to toggle the generator on and off while driving the vehicle.
 * Small Solar or Small Wind Turbine - Both widgets will fill the entire power gauge in eight seconds or less, making the somewhat automatic if potentially unreliable power solutions.

Exploration

 * Small Rovers are ideal for exploration. They do not require much energy, any power-generating widget will work.
 * They are faster and easier to maneuver than the Medium Rover or Large Rover.
 * They can climb very steep inclines, such as mountains. They can even be used in large caves, due to their small size and high maneuverability.
 * Due to the fact that they only contain two tier-one slots, larger items such as research cannot be stored onboard the vehicle.

Trivia

 * If you're in a drivers seat, debris from storms can't hurt you, which can make a vehicle a viable hiding place to wait out dangerous storms. As a precaution, note that vehicles do not auto-brake when a player is stationed in a chair on them.
 * The power consumption of a Small Rover when being operated is almost exactly 0.019A, enough to only use one bar of power in 210 seconds.
 * The entire visible power meter on a Small Rover is exactly equivalent to a single horizontal bar on a small battery.
 * Small Rovers lack power sockets, making it impossible to chain them with other rovers or plug them directly into networked power.
