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 Packager will allow Tier-2 items to be stored in their packaged state.
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.
Internal battery initial state of charge: 0 U
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.

-'''Buggies''', are the first tier of land [[Vehicles]] in [[Astroneer]], and are used as a scout vechicle.
+'''Buggies''' are the second tier of land [[Vehicles]] in Astroneer, and are traditionally used as scout vehicles.
-The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' requires 1x [[Compound]] and 1x [[Aluminum]] to be built in the [[Vehicle Bay]].
+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.
-Though they have a built-in battery, buggies need [[power]] to operate. However, they function as an unlimited supply of Oxygen when being driven or tethered to. The {{PAGENAME}} is different to others rovers, as you can't connect the '''{{PAGENAME}}''' 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 [[Winch]].
-The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is much smaller and is not ideal for carrying loads or gathering resources (consider the [[Medium Rover]] or [[Large Rover]] for gathering resources and items such as [[Research Item|research]]).
-==Utility==

-Consumes 1 bar of power in 210 seconds. Without an external power source or batteries, under continuous use, the 4 units in its internal battery empty in ~52 seconds each.
+==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 Item|research items]] cannot be directly stored onboard the vehicle.
+** A [[Packager]] will allow [[Tier-2]] items to be stored in their packaged state.
+* A [[Portable Oxygenator]] may be attached
 === Essentials ===
-* [[1-Seat]] - Is required to drive the {{PAGENAME}}.
+*A {{ItemLink|Rover Seat}} is required to drive the Buggy.
 === Power ===
+{{Power|consumption=0.03125|capacity=4}}
-*By Module - via [[Power]] generating module such as, but not limited to: [[Generators]], [[Solar panels]], [[Wind Turbines]]
+* Each segment of the internal battery of a '''Buggy''' will last exactly 32 seconds.
-*By Object- via collected [[Power (resource)]] or [[Power Cells]]
+* Internal battery initial state of charge: 0 U
+* 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 {{ItemLink|Small Battery}} can increase power capacity by 32 Units or 1024 seconds (17 minutes) per battery.
+*A {{ItemLink|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 Slot|Attachment Slots]]. However, a {{ItemLink|Rover Seat}} is required in order to drive the Buggy and a [[power]] generator is required, leaving one free slot for Tier 1 storage.
-*A {{PAGENAME}} starts with four small [[Attachment Slot|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 {{PAGENAME}}.
-*[[Small Battery]] - Increases the {{PAGENAME}}'s power capacity by 8 bars or 1680 seconds (28 minutes.)
-*[[Power Cells]] - Generates 12 bars as necessary, increasing the {{PAGENAME}}'s drive time by 2520 seconds (42 minutes.)
-*[[Small Generator]] - Generates 25 bars; Z or X buttons can be used to toggle the generator on and off while driving the vehicle.
-*[[Small Solar Panel|Small Solar]] or [[Small Wind Turbine]] - Both widgets will fill the entire power gauge in eight seconds or less, making the somewhat automatic if potentially unreliable power solutions.
-== Exploration ==
+== Notes ==
+* Buggies lack cable ports, making it impossible to chain them with other rovers or plug them directly into networked power.
-* Buggies are ideal for exploration. They do not require much energy, any power-generating [[Widgets|widget]] will work.
+* A '''Buggy''' can be used as a supply of unlimited oxygen.
-* They are faster and easier to maneuver than the [[Medium Rover]] or [[Large Rover]].
+* The Buggy is the most power-efficient vehicle by far, and also has the most torque.
-* 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.
-* Due to the fact that they only contain two tier-one slots, larger items such as [[Research Item|research]] cannot be stored onboard the vehicle.
-== Trivia ==
-* A {{PAGENAME}} can be used as a supply of unlimited oxygen.
-* If you're in a drivers seat, debris from [[storm]]s can't hurt you, which can make a vehicle a viable hiding place to wait out dangerous storms. As a precaution, note that vehicles do not auto-brake when a player is stationed in a chair on them.
-* The power consumption of a {{PAGENAME}} when being operated is almost exactly 0.019A, enough to only use one bar of power in 210 seconds.
-* The entire visible power meter on a {{PAGENAME}} is exactly equivalent to a single horizontal bar on a small battery.
-* Buggies lack power sockets, making it impossible to chain them with other rovers or plug them directly into networked power.
