Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions has received its first big content update through 1.1.0 Sinking Reef. This new content has added a brand new region for players to explore, more unlockable Gear Blueprints, and more Crew Member missions. This update for Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions is part of the Life’s A Beach region rally which will unlock additional cosmetics when completed.

In the Sinking Reef region rally players are tasked with finding resources across the beaches and under the waves of the new region. The items players need to be on the look out for Coilcup Husks, Bristle Bulbs, Star Shells, Floral Corals, Seamelons, Glimmerstones, Algae Bulbs, Glow Bulbs, and Kelp Bulbs. There are three tiers of reward which are detailed below.

Tier 1 at 20% of the Goal – Bubble Head Visor
Tier 2 at 50% of the Goal – Lily Livery Hat
Tier 3 at 100% of the Goal – Little Daddy Mask

The full patch notes for Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions update 1.1.0 are below.

General: 

Made improvements to character movement so that it now feels more natural while gliding and aiming to throw an item.
Repositioned a Malfunctioning Demolition Device in the Tangle Region so it no longer spawns on the very edge of a cliff.

General:

Fixed a number of crashes across PC and consoles, including a PS5 specific crash.
Addressed an FPS drop that players were experiencing when opening the Customizer on the station.
Fixed an issue specific to the Nintendo Switch 2 where deforming terrain on the planet would create missing voxel pieces.

Player Customization:

In our most recent Hotfix, we messaged that players who completed Ensign Blandrew’s Mission Chain would be receiving the Get Fluxed Palette reward in the next content update. That’s this update! So as long as you completed all Missions of the “State of Flux” Community Challenge, up to the “Splashdown” Mission from Muriel, then you should now have this Palette waiting for you in your Inbox.

If you didn’t manage to earn it this time around, then don’t worry. It will return in the future to the Clowder Emporium and be purchasable from Felix for Baubles.

The following are some of the most relevant issues that have been reported by the community and we’re already working to address.

AG-19025 – The Golden Pathos Achievement that asks players to complete a Mission Chain currently can’t be earned. Once we issue a fix for this, we’ll make sure to grant it to those who should have earned it.
AG-12481 – Gliders aren’t applying Palette colors as intended. This is a bug and not intentional.
AG-4484 – Gliders can sometimes stay unfolded while transitioning into a climb or during the climb over animation.
AG-11032 – The Expedition launch screen can often repeat a Squad member’s name and make it appear as if the Squad is larger than it is.
AG-17103 – Player character’s right hand appears dislocated when previewing some cosmetics in the Customization Closet and the EXO Outlet.
AG-18354 – Controller button mapping changes are reset when closing and relaunching the game.
AG-18208 – Movement keys cannot be rebinded for Mouse & Keyboard controls.

If you experience any griefing from other players, remember you can report them in-game. Go to the Social tab in the DAD menu, select the profile of the offending player, and select Report Player.
You can change your Display Name by opening the DAD menu and in the Social tab selecting your username under Squad Members. This will open your Player Profile where you can find the Change Display Name option.
If you’re experiencing connection issues on the Nintendo Switch 2, try going to your Switch’s “Settings”, select “Date and Time”, and in that menu make sure “Synchronize Clock via Internet” is toggled on.
