Cargo Drops

Overview

Cargo drops are only found in Survival Mode. The default drop is a small, roundish, unpowered craft of Light Armor blocks that will always contain the following:

• A Button Panel. Pressing this gives a chance of a loot drop - a random piece of special spacesuits such as the Rainbow Suit or the Badger Suit.

• 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: 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.
