The Shelter is a base building item in Astroneer and central point of permanent bases. When beginning a new game, upon exiting the Dropship, a Shelter will construct itself, along with a nearby stationary Landing Pad, and turns the surrounding Terrain into a blackish-gray soil that is only removable with a Drill or Drill Mod.

Uses

• Power Production Rate: 1 U/s

Once constructed, the Shelter acts as:

• The hub of the player's base
• The game saves each time the Shelter is entered
• A respawn point in case of death (to act as a spawn, you must enter the Shelter at least once)
• An infinite source of Oxygen and Power
  • The starting Landing Pad gives an Oxygenator that can be moved and placed into the starting Shelter. However, Oxygenators in printed Shelters cannot be moved

The Shelter has two Tier-1 slots on its side to attach up to two items, as well as four power connectors to expand your base outwards

Missions

• Forward Progress requires the player to place a Shelter on another planet besides Sylva, along with placing a Landing Pad on another planet besides Sylva.
• Safe as Houses requires the player to place a Shelter or a Landing Pad on every planet. The Field Shelter counts as a shelter.

Notes

• The Shelter cannot be moved or packaged with a Packager after it has been placed.
• Shelters comes with a permanent RTG attached, which is unable to be removed. However, it generates a fourth of the power compared to the craftable RTG
• Crafted Shelters include an Oxygenator, the starting Shelter does not
• There is also a mobile variant, the Field Shelter, which is cheaper in production and smaller in size.
