Automatons

Automatons are recreational items in Astroneer, and part of the Project CHEER Recovery Mission.

Source
Automatons can be found around wrecked EXO Dynamics Delivery Crates or scattered on the planets.

Uses
Automatons are used to gain Recovery Points from the EXO Request Platform, originally giving 5 points each, but doubled to 10 in the final week of the mission.

Trivia

 * Automatons resemble toy robots, with slightly different appearances and colors being swapped on the arms and feet.
 * When hit by a rover, the Automatons make a sound that resembles either "ow", "owe" or "haha haha."
