Can you beat Astroneer without digging with the Terrain Tool?

- After recording the footage roughly 4 months ago, we attempt a challenge run of Astroneer that avoids digging with the Terrain Tool! It took over 24 hours to record across 5 different sessions.
I only blew up the shuttle once!
A careful review of the footage will reveal that I'm pulling out the terrain tool quite frequently! The game happens to limit how far away you can reach to pick up items unless the player holds the terrain tool first. This trick is called "Terrain Tool Extension" and it happens to be used all of the time while speedrunning.

19:11 "Wait, the world is made out of cubes?"
"Always has been"
And it's really hard to notice!
@@CptSpaceToaster used to be a glitch that caused vehicles to fall through the ground, I think it might have been caused when a vehicle is positioned over the edge of a cube
everything is always cubes flat earthers and round earthers are wrong god created the world with the simplest shape in nature
T H E C U B E
Holy shit this dude got further without a terrain tool than I did with one!!!
*Kronk voice - Well, ya got me. By all accounts, it doesn't make sense.
Thats because CZcamsrs WORK VERY hard to show us the way. I'm slow at this game also LOL
Cheese

Him *gets lost* me watching after the compass was added *wow I do not miss the old navy system
Yep... the new naviation system is amazing... I will never go back.
they changed the navigation system?
@@dimitrisskar4174 There's a brand new compass that shows off all of the cool points of interest! It helps replace the old compass and navigation system... so using the stars isn't as useful anymore. (it still works though)
@@CptSpaceToaster I still miss polars.Infinite energy,goodbye.
@@yukselaydin4473 Wait they dont work anymore?
19:03 If you look close enough at any game, it turns out to be Minecraft
Game developers are addicted to cubes.
@@CptSpaceToaster thats because its very simple for them
Haha its right because pixels are squares
@@issyaboi9000 yeah
Oh yeah
What a wonderful video, great storytelling and great cut. Would love to see more like this.
I am currently uploading all 24 hours of the vods. If you want to see more of the run itself, you'll have to be patient while my poor computer does its best. If you want to see more edited content like this... I can't promise much. I don't know how I would find the time to make videos like these, but thankfully other people have made tons of great challenge runs already! I'd recommend you watch VG Myths if you like this stuff: czcams.com/play/PLfDC5d996dRH4StrfmU1SEqXjhpstgoML.html
Ok... after one snafu after another, I have to reupload them again, but the first vod is up... the next one will show up shortly.
They'll all show up in this playlist eventually.

:D
:)
Damn I wish I knew about the stars being in the equator when 100% the game.
Great vid and ended up learning something new 😁
It's always fun picking up little details like that! I love it when I find a new hidden detail in a game I've been playing for a while!
This Video is FAKING INSANE!!!!
I can't believe you actually done that all along to the end
Great job dude!
Thank you very much!
Lmao i thought this comment was calling him out until i realized its a spelling mistake 😂
@@LUTshibe lol
The world being made out of cubes is something i knew because in one of my saves i drilled between plains and mountains for soil and was avoiding the harder terrain only to notice how the harder train formed cubes when completely mined around
cptspacetoaster when he wants to beat astroneer without terrain tool: kaboom?
astroneer: yes, rico, kaboom
putting the vods into a playlist and linking to it? Thats a subscribe. Rarely do i see youtubers put in the effort to do that, i always have to sort through their twitch and hope its still saved. Thanks for doing that.
Anytime! Thanks for stopping by and saying hello!
I was thinking I'm watching a high quality multi-million subscriber CZcams channel when I realised you have only 870 subs! Holy crap you should make more videos like this cuz I'm sure your popularity will explode
Ahh, but that's the thing... making more videos takes EFFORT. If I wanted to grow the channel, I absolutely should make more videos... but I don't even have a solid goal for the next video right now. I have a couple of ideas rattling around, but I'm keeping myself busy with other personal projects off the PC instead. Maybe someday!
@@CptSpaceToaster Seeing the value of this video you most probably should do more of that type of stuff someday, also maybe you can do that type of videos with other games?
Watching this gameplay almost makes me feel bad for playing the game with the terrain tool as if I were cheating.
So cool to see how you play it this way. The game takes a different feel
I remember watching this video when it first came out and I loved it. feels good to come back to old videos like this!
This was amazing! Some of the tricks you used to get around were "Out of this world!" :) Great job.
With the automation features of the current version, it would be much easier to gather resources without using the terrain tool. I wonder if a new run is in the cards. ;)
I think this run was done when automation already was out... but the auto-miners cost late-game resources that require a chem-lab and stuff........ so the run doesn't really change at all until you get the chem lab... but once you're there, the run is basically over, and it's less about collecting resources, and more about "how are you going to get to the planet's center"
The answer to which... is that you can't, unless you bend the rules of "no digging ever" with dynamite (digging, but no terrain tool) or a drill on a rover (digging, but only with a rover.....)
Now that the Snails update is out, you should try again at this. The dynamics of the game has changed alot lol
@@CptSpaceToaster Actually, you can get to at least Desolo's caves without digging. It will be hard, BUT, Desolo is the only planet whose caves extend from surface to core.
I would love to see you do this challenge now with the new missions and naturally generated bombs
Whenever I'm impatient and/or start to get frustrated, I'll recall the man that had the patience of a saint, and the frustration tolerance of ... a saint. I would have not believed it until I saw it. Tyvm for your 24 hrs in the unknown.
AMAZING! Thanks SO much for putting in all the time and effort to edit your footage and share this run! I asked you months ago about it, after seeing a post on the Astroneer Facebook community page by Gina Cowart. Really cool. After the Missions update, I was all bummed out that I wouldn’t be able to try it for myself because the 3-item supply drop was gone but watching your video today, I realized I could maybe still replicate the old game start in creative mode, then switch back to adventure mode and continue as you did. That should work, right? I so hope so cos I love this no-terrain-tool run idea! Thanks again! 🤓
Big shoutouts to Gina... She does so much for everyone, and everyone should be thankful for the work she puts into the Astroneer community.
As for "still doing the run", I think it's totally possible. Sure, you can absolutely use creative mode, spawn a platform, and keep on going on as normal, but you already get an Oxygenator from the quest system... so the only real issue is you need a platform to put it on... you are given a pile of tethers... so you need to scrounge around until you're lucky enough to get 1 resin.... OR a graphite to package a junk platform, and hope one spawns close by.... anything that'll let you attach the oxygenator and start running around "as per usual"
Holy shit this should have a million views. It's underrated. Have a great day man cause this was awesome.
We're almost at 100 thousand... and I can't thank everyone enough...
I just replayed Astroneer from scratch with the new quests (and their crazy mini RTGs) and I thought that took forever *without* any crazy restrictions. This whole video was awe-inspiring. I learned some crazy stuff, too.
With the new mini-RTGs, I bet you could have done things a lot easier. For instance, a portable oxygenator and 2 mini-RTGs means you can go wherever you like, no strings attached.
Surprisingly... the beginning of the game is almost impossible now... because you can't complete the quest to call down 2 small platform A's (you have to mine 4 resin and 4 compound WITH THE TERRAIN TOOL) You have to print a small plat A by finding resin very close to base now or something... I might have to revisit the challenge! The later part of the challenge might not be much different through.
Now it 1 QT-RTG
@@catmanbossnesscat8332As said before... I'm not sure you can actually get far enough in the quest system to get to the QT-RTG... my bet is "no"
@@CptSpaceToaster I tried this run for shiggles and came back to your video to figure out what I could cheese to get unstuck. I found a packager in surface debris, and there are tons of broken platforms, so I just packed one of those up to put the oxygenator on. The packager was a lucky find, I don't know what I would have done if I didn't find it close by lol.
@@karanimenielsen4665 I think that's the easiest path actually... the second being finding a way to print a small plat A with nearby wreckage somehow (maybe an early compound and resin)
So I think most future attempts will be a little reset heavy until something like you describe can happen, or you get lucky in another way.
That's dedication!
Using the controller exploit certainly helped, I wouldn't want to try this without it.
I'm a little late to this video but all I can say is WOW! After having put hundreds of hours in to astroneer, I cant imagine this grind! Great work
This is the best Astroneer video ive seen! Never seen one of your vids until now, but i deff had to subscribe to your channel just because of this vid! Thanks for this wonderful experience!
Awww, thank you so much for the kind words!
Awesome video spooster! Really makes me want to get back into the game again.
this is the best video so far for astroneer, i love this type of commentary, absolutly a like and a sub
Thank you so much!
Mad props, that title had me thinking it was sure to fail, but you made it happen. Kudos to you, good sir.
Wow, that was awesome... How the hell..... You have to be a master to accomplish that! That was a great video! Well done!!
I loved this video. Awesome job!
I am hugely impressed. I honestly didn't think it could be done, but that starting table and oxygenator.... what's up with that, that's not how it's supposed to work.
I mean, the game still lets you walk around with this setup... but you no longer start with those items ever since they added a quest system tied to the starting items.
The only explanation is that EXO is hiding a dark secret inside of the Oxygenator... and they won't tell us!
Nowadays you don't get a starting platform or medium printer. You'd need luck to get Resin.
Nice challenge! Love the video! :D
I was right there with you all the Captain rooting you on!
A very challenging play through of this games, and I enjoyed every, and there were scores of thousands of them, second.
60 x 60 x 24 = 86,400
Thanks for hanging out with me for so many of them!
I cant belive your channel isnt bigger your videos are great!
i just subbed
this man is so underrated, that's some quality content with great explanations
but have you seen that commentor Ayato Satanori? I hear they leave pretty neat comments on CZcams videos!
Underrated channel great video!
Underrated viewer. Thank you so much for giving it a watch!
This video is incredible, well done!
Thank you for the kind words!
omg i just started playing the game, you are absolutely genius sir!
This is the kind of challenges that make some games really challenging.
this is literally the most entertaining thing i've watched in the fast month, how are you not more popular?
I don't make edited videos very often... so the algorithm doesn't know what to do with someone who uploads the occasional speedrun, and 1 edited video a year. I should probably make more content though...
@@CptSpaceToaster Oh, well you still post very interesting videos!
”I want a portable oxygenator”
”We already have a portable oxygenator at home”
*Portable oxygenator at home: **3:08*
Just wait until you see the shuttle!
*gestures to chair
nice idea and nicely done congrats :) !
Absurd!!! Well done
Yay, Toaster!
If anyone wants to hang out live, check out his info panel above, and see you at the Intergalactic Appliance Alliance, Sundays at ~1400 US-East, so that you won't be entered to win an Olympic-Sized Swimming Toaster.
Ope, you shoulda read the fine print more carefully. Advertising the whereabouts of the Intergalactic Appliance Alliance puts you back in the running for the Olympic-Sized Swimming Toaster! Better luck next time!
It’s been a while since the last video, but this was definitely worth the wait!
I'm so very glad to hear this :)
Nice job, excellent run :)
Thank you!
you are so underrated I love this video!
Thank you!
I love the overlay you use for your keyboard and mouse during streams
This deserves so much more exposure
Thank you so much! I can assure you this video is doing really well! Far better than I could have imagined.
This just appeared on my recommended, I feel like maybe this is gonna be one of those videos who explodes on views all of the sudden
Ehhh, it already did... I normally get 200-500 or so.
I hope system era sees this because this is amazing great job my guy!
Good news, they shouted out the video in their first community roundup: blog.astroneer.space/p/community-roundup-001/
(I had no idea they even did this for over a month or more!)
Kudos on a job well done!!
Thank you!
All these strats i've seen in this video are genius level strats.
Love this game and just came back to it after 6 months or so, even though my bases are messy and scattered it's fun and a great time waster
Saw this on Reddit. Very cool video!
you had me at "without digging". :O
Great video!
This was super informative! I'm tempted to try and do a run like this now.
p.s. your beard is magnificent
I've shaved since... and go for it! It's actually a lot of fun!
Bro, the dedication
Late to the vid, but had to express my appreciation for the 'song of storms' remix in the background ❤
thanks for the vid, now me and my friends can spend another 200 hours fighting over the oxygen without the terrain tool
Making a second one is illegal.
@@CptSpaceToaster im just going to try it out with my friends, hopefully we can do it as well as you did! (Its not going to be, theres going to be chaos, and my friends will pretty much forget the challenge and make a crufix or a huge pp)
Oh God this must have been hell.
It was pretty fun actually,
Incredibly insane!
Well played!
Well met!
This totally feels like a GameChamp3000 video and I'm loving it
This is some of the highest praise I could ever hope for.
Quick thing when you were lost on the surface: compasses show your base from wherever on the planet
The compass was reworked in a patch 6 months ago. This run is almost a year old, and this is how you had to navigate back then! I agree, it's much nicer now.
Oh I’m relatively new so I started after the patch i guess
What a bizarre thing to want to do. Glad you did it though 😂
Same honestly.
Only 1k subscribers? With this dedication you should have a good deal more
I really appreciate the sentiment... but I don't really make videos... or have a lot of plans to make more... so it's more than fine that the one video I edited blew up like this... but I don't think it's fair to people who subscribe... y'all probably aren't going to get a whole lot for it... but I'll definitely need to get around to at least saying hello or whatever in a "thanks for getting me past 1k last week" sorta update video...
Past that point... I don't really have much to say, or many other videos "in the works." Making videos is an exceedingly lax hobby for me, so I think "only 1k subscribers" is actually too many. I'm thankful for every person who's clicked the button, liked the video, and left a comment. I feel bad that I'm not really planning on doing much more right now.
I love how people are finnaly seeing how fun astroneer is
I love his commentary
I love this comment!
u can find the song at the start on a vid called zelda and chill its pretty chill for the background btw great vid man im playing astroneer rn and struggling
Timestamps are in the description
One of the most creative and innovative astronomer videos I’ve ever seen! I have to ask, as a Scandinavian, where is your accent from?
Imperfect Midwest US English.
My family skews European (So maybe a little German or Latvian in there), but we were born and raised in the US. Even people here ask me where my accent is from occasionally, and I just shrug. I think I pronounce my R's, L's, and S's a bit off... I had trouble in elementary school and had to get pulled aside to pronounce those better... but it's just something I have that's never been perfect.
Just insane!
This video is sick! :)
I'm glad you think so!
Only one can be T H E. F I R S T. Well done! :)
Voice, editing and flow was top tier!
Very impressed.
*blush
Corporate wants you find a difference between this picture (astroneer) and this picture (Minecraft)
Him: They're the same picture
awesome vid bruv
Thanks for stopping by!
I'm just starting but I must say that is a majestic beard
Thanks! I grew it myself!
Rad lad. Well done!
Thank you so much!
Ah, that sweet sweet cheese of taking out your terrain tool to pick up far away items into your mouse
May I please pick up that item far away game? NO? *pulls out terrain tool* How about now?
I love cheese! Looking forward to more videos.
I dunno... I might have to put up my video making profession, and start making artisanal cheese wheels.
Lol. The drop down to the core reminded me of something I did in my normal survival save. I dug a tunnel down to the core of the planet but straight down, for the VTOL. I use it to fairy Astronium to the surface for materials and such via trade platform. Eventually I intend to make an elevator with auto arms but that will be insanely expensive on not only resources but also power. Well over 100 arms, with each doing 1 unit of power, meaning it is 1 RTG = 4 Arms, meaning I need 25 RTGs to fully power it. And thats not mentioning all my other infrastructure, and 100 is an estimate
Liked and subscribed just for the spekkio theme song
Ipso, facto, meeny moe... MAGICO!
you deserve way more subs
Considering I only edited one video last Christmas and have largely ignored this channel... I'm not sure I do, but I do appreciate the sentiment!
If you can get a trading platform and a shredder you're set. I'm glad to see that's what you did. I love this game but get kind of bored because it doesn't force you to really explore that much. This play style does. I have to try it.
I did focus on getting the trading platform, and I was absolutely set when I finally built it! I only wish there was a different strategy to complete the game aside from cheating with dynamite, or by using a drill on a rover or something... I have to deform terrain to get into the ground without glitches.
@@CptSpaceToaster well if you think of another challenge to make the game harder please make a video. I'm always looking for new ways to play this game. Maybe trying to complete the entire game while underground. Just a thought. Wouldn't be as hard as the no terrain tool.
Choose between love and money… IN INFINITY KINGDOM
Excitedly watching this ………
broooo i didnt know about the platform step method, i always have a worklight in game, one of the first things i make since it helps with caving and night nav
It's always helpful to know what's a solid object, and what's pretending... I'm glad to help and share info!
Awesome video man, I still haven't beaten the game normally haha
Then I have to admit that this is a terrible guide.
What I love about Vesania is that the core is often exposed, making for a cool scenery
Vesania is the best planet for this, and so many other reasons!
@@CptSpaceToaster But not the hostile plants, thats for sure. Ugh I hate that tongue yeet thing
@@animationcity8178 You mean the spring pads?
@@CptSpaceToaster maybe.
Whenever he got the trade platform in my mind I was like ‘why doesn’t he use soil centrifuge’
Then I realized how dumb I am
I mean... we could look at it for fun if we got bored!
This is amazing 👏👏😃😁👏
To think the train rail boxes make getting to planet cores a breeze
ive had astroneer since the first month of early access, YEARS ago, and yet i never knew about the stars = equator... i wish i had, wouldve saved so much time
This dude beating it without the most important tool meanwhile me struggling with it
this . legend
So this video suddenly blew up
And you deserve that
Thank you!
You should revisit this challenge with the new rails update
I had to go back and admirer that glorious beard
Next up: beat the game with no rocket. Just a chair and a winch is all you need.
Would be cool to see this tried in the newer updates though, with all the changes
AMAZING
cool. I learned a lot
So did I!
