| − | Buggies have a small built-in battery, and like other [[rovers]], need [[power]] to operate. Also like other rovers, Buggies function as an infinite [[Oxygen]] supply while being driven or stood next to. You can connect a [[Portable Oxygenator|portable oxygenator]] to use [[tethers]] with it. The Buggy is different from other rovers, as you can't connect the Buggy to a platform or Habitat to charge it due to a lack of power ports on the vehicle. As such, they cannot be hooked to other vehicles to form trains or be towed. The only way to move it is to use a {{ItemLink|Winch}}, and the only way to charge it is with a [[Tier-1]] power generating module, like a Small Solar, or Small Wind generator (or ideally, both). {{ItemLink|Small Battery}} or some {{ItemLink|Power Cells}} can also be used in a pinch, but continuous power sources are a better idea if you don't want to end up stranded a long distance from your base. |

| − | The Buggy is much smaller than other rovers and thus is not ideal for carrying loads or gathering resources (consider the {{ItemLink|Medium Rover}} or {{ItemLink|Large Rover}} for gathering resources and items such as [[Research Item|research]]), however, it is noticeably faster than the other two due to its small frame and offroad suspension. Also, due to its high strength:weight ratio, it is capable of climbing sheer, near vertical walls, though it does not have good entrance and departure angles. Because it IS so fast, it's easy to accidentally fall down holes and crevices (and getting it back out again is a lengthily process of building large ramps and tunnels). Drive carefully! |

y Buggies are the second tier of land Vehicles in Astroneer, and are traditionally used as scout vehicles.
The Buggy is much smaller than rovers and is not ideal for carrying items or gathering resources, however, it is faster than rovers due to its smaller size and suspension. It is also capable of climbing sheer, near vertical walls, though the speed can provide difficulty controlling the buggy, causing players to lose control and drive off of cliffs or into holes.

Uses
- Buggies are ideal for exploration due to their low power draw and high speed.
- They are faster and easier to maneuver than the Medium Rover or Large Rover.
- They can climb very steep inclines, such as mountains. They can even be used in large caves, due to their small size and high maneuverability.
- Because the Buggy contains two Tier-1 slots, larger items such as research items cannot be directly stored onboard the vehicle.
- A Portable Oxygenator may be attached
Essentials
- A
Rover Seat is required to drive the Buggy.
Power
- Power Consumption Rate: 0.03125 U/s
- Power Capacity: 4 U
- Each segment of the internal battery of a Buggy will last exactly 32 seconds.
- Any Tier 1 power generator, either Small Generator, Small Wind Turbine, Small Solar Panel, or QT-RTG, will suffice, however the QT-RTG would provide infinite power to the buggy.
- A Small Battery can increase power capacity by 32 Units or 1024 seconds (17 minutes) per battery.
- A Power Cells can generate 48 Units as necessary, increasing the Buggy's drive time by up to 1536 seconds (26 minutes) per power cell.
Storage
- A Buggy has one Tier-2 and two Tier-1 Attachment Slots. However, a Rover Seat is required in order to drive the Buggy and a power generator is required, leaving one free slot for Tier 1 storage.
Notes
- Buggies lack cable ports, making it impossible to chain them with other rovers or plug them directly into networked power.
- A Buggy can be used as a supply of unlimited oxygen.
- The Buggy is the most power-efficient vehicle by far, and also has the most torque.
