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 Oxygen when being driven or tethered to.The Small Rover is different than others rovers, as you can't connect the Small Rover to a platform or Habitat to charge it due to a lack of power ports on the vehicle. The Small Rover is much smaller and weaker than the Medium Rover or Large Rover; consider replacing it as soon as you have researched one of the two.

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 will 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. However, you must use 2 of these slots for a 1-Seat to drive the rover.
 * Small Battery - Increases the rover's power capacity by 16 bars or 128 seconds; batteries also recharge the player that connects to them, like the rover's battery.

Trains
Small Rovers cannot be linked, and as such, cannot pull other vehicles to form "trains". Use a Medium Rover or Large Rover instead.

Exploration
Small Rovers are ideal for exploration. They do not require much energy, one small solar panel will work. They are faster and easier to maneuver than the Medium Rover or Large Rover. They can be used to discover new Biomes. They can climb very steep inclines, such as mountains. They can even be used in large caves, due to their small size.

Other Uses

 * s, like other vehicles, 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.
 * If you're in a drivers seat, storms can't hurt you so long as the rover does not roll. You can dig a hole and/or partially bury the rover to keep it from moving, but the storm may end up glitching the rover through the ground.
