Summary (AI)

The 1.0.6 update for STARSEEKER: Astroneer Expeditions addresses several mission and progression issues, including ensuring mission objectives align with crafting blueprints and adjusting the timing of Crew Member Mission text. Improvements have been made to waypoint icons in the tutorial, and multiple fixes target performance declines and server stability. Several bugs were resolved, such as players appearing invisible to squadmates, synced emotes not displaying correctly, and UI memory leaks. The patch also includes warnings regarding cross-progression and multiplayer compatibility with the Switch 2 version. Additionally, cosmetic display and reward progression adjustments have been implemented.

Tip: expand all for quick scanning.

Cross-Progression Warning: If you play on the Switch 2 and have more than one Platform linked for cross-progression, then we recommend playing only on the platform with the latest version of the game available. Avoid playing on the Switch 2 only in this case, until the latest patch has released on Nintendo.
Cross-Play Warning: While the Switch 2 version is mismatched to other platforms, multiplayer won’t work across platforms to the Switch 2.
AG-18011 – The objective for JAM-BX's Mission 'Let's Get Clinical' no longer requests an item before its crafting Blueprint has been unlocked.Developer Note: While most players were getting through this Mission by stumbling upon the required item in caches, the intended experience is that players are able to craft an item before it becomes required for Mission progress. Except for Ensign Muriel’s Missions. She’s just eccentric.
