Developer System Era Softworks recently released a new trailer and details regarding the newest update to their game Astroneer. This new update which is called the Augment & Research Curve update will include improved vehicle performance, an updated research system, and performance improvements.

On the System Era forums, one of the game’s developers gave the following more in depth details about what patch 153 will include.

NEW FEATURES

Added tool augment system: Augment items can be attached to tools (starting with terrain tool) to upgrade or change behavior
Terrain tool can now be interacted with when backpack is open in order to slot in augments.
New unlockable augment items!
Terrain analyzer: Collect terrain of a particular material/color until meter is full. Once meter is full, adding terrain will use the equipped color, and subtracting terrain will filter on the equipped color.
Wide mod: Increases the size of the terrain tool brush while decreasing intensity.
Narrow mod: Decreases the size of the terrain tool brush while increasing intensity.
Inhibitor: Shuts down functionality. Applied to terrain tool, turns off adding/subtracting terrain, but maintains color changes and harvesting.
Complete overhaul of equipment unlock progression. Specific equipment unlocks are now dependent on researching certain types of chests while retaining some randomization.
Steeper difficulty curve: Fewer types of equipment are available at the beginning of a new game, requiring more chests to be recovered and researched to acquire everything.
Research chests are less common overall.
