Astroneer

I’m trying to do that thing of staying away from an Early Access game I’m really into so I don’t burn out on it before it gets to actual release form. Subnautica is in that bucket, as is Astroneer [official site], although I’m sorely tempted by the latter now I’m writing about exploding hydrazine cans and looking at screenshots as I read the latest patch.

Astroneer gets colourful with new painting tools

It adds ways to paint terrain, see, along with new ways to shape it. And sure, I guess it overhauls the research system and fixes bugs and blah blah but the point is: spacepaints.
