Small Rover

Small Rovers 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 air when being driven or tethered to. Small Rover is different that others Rover : you can't connecting the Small Rover's energy pipes at a platform. The Small Rover is much smaller and weaker than the Large Rover; consider replacing it as soon as you have researched the Large Rover.

Utility
Consumes 1 bar of power in 15 seconds. Without an external power source or batteries, under continual use, the 4 bars of its internal battery empty in 60 seconds.

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.
 * Small_Battery - Increase power capacity by 16 bars or 128 seconds; batteries also recharge the player that connects to them, like the rover's battery

Other Uses

 * s can link the power grids of base camps. As of alpha testing this is confirmed as two grids, but with adequate power sources in each base camp's grid, more may be possible.
 * s have their own in-built beacon which can be used to mark locations that don't justify establishing a new Habitat. This can be useful if normal beacons are being used for something else like marking roads or other points of interest.
 * s can supply unlimited air and have attachment slots for supplies, so they can be use as general storage and function like temporary camps while exploring.
 * If you're in a drivers seat, storms can't hurt you so long as the rover does not roll. If you partially bury a rover, so storms can't blow them away, they make ideal outposts/sanctuaries since they also have their own in-built beacons to mark where they are.
