Astroneer Megatech DLC – How I Fixed My Intermodal Shipping Platform Bugs
Astroneer Megatech DLC is still buggy… but I finally found some WORKAROUNDS.
In this video I share how I fixed two of the most annoying Megatech issues around the Intermodal / shipping platform and rail automation – plus a bonus “MacGyver” trick for automatically filling hydrazine canisters.
What’s in this video
First, I show how I broke the weird invisible link between my medium shuttle and the shipping platform that kept trying to auto-load hydrazine onto the wrong thing.
Then I dive into the Intermodal shipping platform madness:
I tried to run a clean rail loop using the built-in rail nodes at A/B/C with button + delay repeaters… and the game went full chaos mode – trains going backwards, being pulled back to platforms, leaving before the countdown 🙄
Instead of rage-quitting, I built a separate, stable rail loop using rail stations + auto arms and only use the shipping platform for what it does best: dropping cargo. All the collecting is handled by my own custom rail loop.
If you’re fighting the same Megatech “wonkiness”, this might give you a blueprint to stabilize your base until the devs patch it.
