Radiated (Old)

Verstrahlt Irradiée Radiated "MOTION SICKNESS WARNING: Radiated planet rotates around the skybox at an incredibly accelerated rate, many player experienced slight nausea when exploring this planet." Radiated is one of the Planets in Astroneer. It is the smallest and innermost planet in the Astroneer solar system, and you can access it by utilizing a Spaceship.

Due to its slow rotation, the day/night cycles on the Radiated planet take more time than the ones on the Terran planet. This makes it challenging to sustain your electricity level with only Solar Panels, so it is advised to use Wind vanes and Wind turbines to generate power. Conveniently, Radiated planets have permanent wind locations on the surface or just above the surface. If you place your Wind vanes and Wind turbines in the appropriate locations you will always have power. Also one of the poles on this planet will always have sunlight. All of the planets are above the plane of the star, this makes accessing sunlight as simple as finding the pole that is at the very bottom portion of the planet but due to the procedural generation of planets you might find that the perfect spot is at the top of a mountain or on a floating pod making it difficult to expand your base.

The average time it takes for a day/night cycle to pass is 20 minutes.

Acquiring resin
Since resin is crucial for base expansion, players use a lot of it and are surprised that there isn't nearly any. Attempting to mine resin on radiated planets is not advisable, there are easier ways to get it.

Trading
This assumes that you have trading researched. It is a method which takes advantage of normally not very accessible resources, typically copper, coal and aluminum, have high trading value while resin is only of value 1.

You start by bringing a lot of resin with you, so you can get started. Typically you would make the trading platform, mine resources (coal is a good choice as it is found on the surface) and trade them for resin.

Duplication
You can use the Mineral Extractor to create more Resin. Its cheap too, and only needs soil, energy, and a Resin sample.

Biome
Worm Pit: The only surface biome of radiated planet, indestructible worm spawns all over the planet. If you were to fall in, you will die.
