Struggling With Megatech? Start HERE — Beginner Mega Structure Guide
Welcome back, fellow Astroneers!
If you're new to the Megatech DLC or returning after years away, this video breaks down exactly how to build your FIRST mega structure step-by-step.
In this beginner-friendly guide, I walk through:
✔️ How the Megaprinter works
✔️ How to deploy the DLS (Distribution Launcher System)
✔️ How the landing pads and construction anchors work
✔️ What each Megatech module does (Shipping Platform, Biodome, Museum, Orbital Platform)
✔️ The HUGE resource requirements
✔️ My opinion on the best first structure to choose
If you’re confused, overwhelmed, or just trying to figure out where to start… this guide is for you.
And don’t worry — if you think the game is bugging out, you’re probably not doing anything wrong. Megatech is still a little quirky.
