Hoverboard

The Hoverboard is a personal mobility device in Astroneer that allows for faster travel than by simply running.

Source
To obtain the schematic for the Hoverboard, players must complete the Onboarding mission. Players obtain this mission after completing a chain that begins after To Parts Unknown. The missions require the player to find the MAT on Desolo after blowing up a Vehicle Data redcorder and obtaining an EXO Chip. Slotting the EXO Chip will unlock two missions to bring 2 each of Copper, Zinc, Plastic, and Aluminum Alloy. Once all eight resources have been provided, Onboarding unlocks and will reward the player with a Hoverboard, the schematic to craft more, and a QT-RTG.

Uses
The Hoverboard requires being placed in the backpack, and can be activated by simply double-tapping the jump button (default on PC). It will activate from any slot, including those on the Terrain Tool, and can be activated with context keys when placed on the Widget slots.

While active, the Hoverboard will drain 1 Power per second, requiring the player to have a constant source of power, such as a QT-RTG.
