Modules

Astroneer's main element is the modules. Modules include every functional and attachable object that helps the player. Some modules must be built within a Platform or on a Vehicles. Not all modules are unlocked from the beginning, so players will have to unlock them through researches. Some objects, like Tether, function differently than a module, because they do not require Attachment Slots in order to function. These are called Deployables.
