Tiers

Tiers are used to categorize all items in Astroneer. Tiers exist based on whether the item fits in a certain attachment slot or based on which Printer the item is crafted from, such as Titanium and a stack of tethers being Tier 1, or Research Items and Medium Wind Turbines being Tier 2. Packed or repackaged items, modules, vehicle chassis, and platforms – though unable to be used – can fit in an attachment slot one Tier below their original one. For instance, a packed Medium Printer (Tier 2) fits in a Tier 1 attachment slot, and a packed Large Shredder (Tier 3) fits in a Tier 2 attachment slot.

Tier 1 - Small
Tier 1 refers to any small item in the game that fits into a single slot and can be dragged around easily. These items are small enough to be stored in the Backpack, and include Resources or any item crafted in the Backpack Printer. Some items, such as the Small Solar Panel, spawn a small platform (including two cable ports) when placed on the ground. This allows the item to be used without it being placed in an attachment slot.

Note that craftable items in Tier 1 can also be crafted using the Small Printer.

Tier 2 - Medium
Tier 2 refers to any medium-sized item in the game. Modules in this category fit onto a 2-slot connection. These items cannot be placed in the backpack, but the player may instead carry one of them by selecting the item and dragging it onto their person or pressing the Use key (default ). Holding the item will slow the player down until they drop the item. This tier includes all Research Items as well as all items that can only be crafted with a Small Printer, e.g., the Medium Storage.

Note that modules in Tiers 2 and above have to be attached to a suitable attachment slot in order to be operational.

Tier 3 - Large
Tier 3 refers to any large item. Modules in this category fit onto a 4-slot connection. These items cannot be easily carried, and the player moves much slower when holding them. Items in this tier include Research Chambers, packed Medium Rovers, and any other item crafted at the Medium Printer.

Tier 4 - Extra Large
Tier 4 refers to Extra Large items. Modules in this category fit onto an 8-slot connection. These items are the hardest to move, with some being unable to be moved by the player. When moving a Tier 4 item, the player will be stuck in place until putting the item down. This tier includes Large Rovers, Shuttles, and any other item made in the Large Printer. Tier-4 items can’t be shredded and need to be blown up with Dynamite.
