Overview
Cargo drops are only found in Survival Mode. The default drop is a small, roundish, unparalleled craft of Light Armor blocks that will always contain the following:
- A Button Panel. Pressing this gives a chance of a cosmetic loot drop - a random piece of special spacesuits such as the Rainbow Suit or the Badger Suit.
- A Beacon that emits a repeating audible "boop" signal within a short range
- A Parachute Hatch supplied with Canvas. On planetary surfaces, the parachute will deploy and the cargo drop will slowly float down.
- A Small Cargo Container. This will usually contain a few Components, and sometimes advanced Tools or Materials.
- A Small Reactor. This sometimes contains a small quantity of Uranium Ingots.
Finding cargo drops
A default cargo drop is signaled by a new GPS coordinate sound and a set of three informational tags in your HUD: Unknown signal, its distance from your location in kilometers, and a time remaining in minutes. When the time remaining elapses, the cargo drop will despawn.
Notes
- Players believe that suit piece drops are limited by a timer, and that this timer has been adjusted at least once by Keen.
- Strong unknown signals have also been reported on multiplayer servers.
- The blocks may be useful to grind down if resources or components are scarce.
