Plan your next Astrometica: Prologue session
Our independent guide breaks down Astrometica: Prologue’s core systems, offering observations that help you compare mechanics, spot efficient workflows, and adapt strategies without promising undocumented advantages.
01 / THE GUIDE
Resource Flow Mapping
Mark each drill and miner location on a sector map, noting extraction speed and distance to your base. Comparing layouts reveals configurations that minimize travel time while maximizing material intake.
- Position drills where asteroid density appears highest for quicker yields.
- Use automatic miners to keep gathering while you focus on other tasks.
02 / THE GUIDE
Tool Upgrade Prioritization
List all craftable items and their possible modifications. Rank them by impact on survival tasks—such as oxygen extension or travel speed—to decide which upgrades give the greatest immediate benefit.
- Prioritize oxygen tanks before long excursions away from base.
- Apply modifications that improve durability for tools you use most.
03 / THE GUIDE
Base Expansion Planning
Sketch your base layout, indicating where you store resources and where you add new structures. Evaluating placement helps you keep essential functions close together and reduces unnecessary movement.
- Place your base near resource‑rich areas to reduce travel time.
- Expand gradually, adding structures that match your immediate needs.
04 / THE GUIDE
Signal Route Planning
Plot signal directions on a map before departing. Comparing routes helps you choose paths that intersect resource nodes, reducing detours along the way.
- Check signal direction before committing to a long trek.
- Investigate both signal types to diversify discoveries.
05 / THE GUIDE
Vehicle Role Comparison
Evaluate the fast space bike and advanced ship on speed, protection, and oxygen capacity. Matching each vehicle to mission length clarifies when to switch for optimal safety.
- Use the space bike for short, high‑speed scouting runs.
- Reserve the advanced ship for extended trips requiring life support.
