How Do You Open The Exo Dynamics Research Aid?

I have found one of these while out exploring. I see a lightning bolt and a cable plug on the bottom of it. I tried connecting a generator to it but it didn’t do anything. How do you unlock it?

How Do You Open The Exo Dynamics Research Aid

Game guides, questions & answers and other Astroneer posts. If the answer below was not helpful, and still need Help? Submit a comment below or ask a new question.

There are a few different variations of the exo dynamics research aid boxes. Some of them require you to insert resources and others require power. For the one you have found, it sounds like it needs a certain amount of power. Far more than the generator you are using will provide. Sometimes, if you are using a tractor, it can be possible to connect the trailers to the box and it will open them if you have gathered enough wind turbines and solar panels while out exploring.

When you hover the cursor over the box, it will tell you what it requires to unlock. If its a resource, you will need to look at the icon of the resource that is printed on the box itself to know what you need to put in there.

Astronium is one of the rarest Resources in Astroneer . Astronium appears as iridescent clusters, fading from green in the center to fuchsia on the edge.

Astronium can be found in the outer core layers of all Planets .

During the F.A.R.M update it can also be found inside purple Spookysquash .

Additionally, 1-3 Astronium can be found in a Mysterious Mushroom after directly blowing it up with Dynamite .

Astronium can be used in the Trade Platform to obtain various items.

Astronium is used to craft the following items:

Module Output Input

Astronium can be researched for 500 bytes over 2.5 minutes, or 200 Bpm per nugget.

In the EXO Automated Mass Production Protocol event, the player can send Astronium through the EXO Request Platform after finishing the main milestones and will receive a care package every 80 Astronium sent.

In the Project CHEER Delivery LTE , the player could craft Cosmic Baubles in a Small Printer by combining Astronium and Scrap .

Astronium can be used to open EXO Dynamics Research Aids . The reward for opening one is a QT-RTG .

  • Before Patch 1.0 , Astronium deposits were a bright fuchsia, before being changed to their current gradient appearance, but the nuggets remained fuchsia. The nuggets' color were also once green before being later changed to purple and eventually, in Patch 1.0.15 , changed to the gradient color we see now.
  • Astronium used to be found in small quantities on the surface of Radiated , and was easiest to find on Radiated for this reason. After Patch 1.0 , Astronium was only found in the outer cores of each planet.
