I farmed all the achievements in Astroneer already so I made some guides to help people on some of the harder ones. This is my Astroneer guide on unlocking all gateways and cores in the most efficient manner as possible using all the tips and tricks I learned along the way.

As a side note, you don't need to use the battery method to power the gateway chambers, you can simply use small generators and other power sources. I believe the battery method is the most convenient (once you make all of them haha).

Power requirement per gateway chamber for each planet from the wiki: https://astroneer.gamepedia.com/Gateway_Chamber

Power Required Power Produced
------------------------- ---------------------------
Sylva - 5U/s 1 Small Wind/Solar = 0.5U/s
Desolo - 8U/s 1 Small Gen/1 Medium Wind = 1U/s
Calidor - 12U/s 1 Medium Solar = 2U/s
Vesania - 16U/s 1 Medium Gen = 3U/S
Novus - 21U/s 1 RTG = 4U/S
Glacio - 26U/s 1 Solar Array = 8U/s
Atrox - 30U/s

1. Finding Gateways (I use a shuttle because driving is a nightmare)
a. Use a large shuttle to orbit the planet and spot them
b. Land at the closet landing zone
c. As you are landing, align the camera to the gateway
d. Use the compass direction for gateways that are far away (walk in a straight line following compass)
e. Carry your shuttle to gateway (avoid shooting plants)

2. Powering Gateways
a. Use a large shuttle with the following core components:
i. 32 Small Batteries
ii. RTG
iii. Large Platform B
iv. Packagers
b. Unpack Large Platform B
c. Place Battery Storage on Platform
d. Place RTG on Platform
e. Connect Platform to any input (don't need to connect to all 3) on Gateway
f. Pack up everything for next Gateway

(side note: Gateways require more power as you travel to the different planets and this setup will provide enough power to power any gateway on any planet.)

3. Digging to the core (Core is rich in resources, having a path direct from your base would be beneficial for mining excursions)
a. Use Boost Mod, Drill Mod 3, Wide Mod
b. Bring 3-4 Canisters and Rest Tethers
c. Dig at around a 45 degree angle from your base using the flatten tool
d. Go back for additional tethers or find compound and make some

4. Powering the Core
a. Each planet's core has a symbol, match that symbol to the Astropedia
b. Go back to the surface and bring at least 2 of that required material
c. Plug in materials into core (You receive a Triptych for each material you insert)
d. Take Geometric Triptych and insert into core (other side)
e. Take Geometric Triptych and insert into satellite
f. Repeat on other planets
