This reference covers ten Terrain Tool augment choices and the shared rules for using them. The named choices affect collection, speed, radius, alignment, terrain color, or deformation of harder terrain. The passage lists Byte costs for the augments and materials for Drill Mods, and describes combinations such as Terrain Analyzer with radius mods and Boost with Wide. It also sets a three augment limit, describes additional power use and slot priority, and explains what happens when power or Drill Mod level is insufficient. These records explain the effects and constraints the passage states; they do not compare effectiveness or provide a complete progression guide.

01

Check shared constraints

If you are comparing combinations, begin with slot priority and power rules; the passage says placement affects some combinations and insufficient power disables augments.

Review Drill Mod levels

If harder terrain is your focus, compare each level’s listed material and Byte cost, then read the passage’s warning about insufficient Drill Mod level.

Common mistakes to avoid

Active augments use additional power

The passage says active augments consume additional power. If backpack power is insufficient, they are disabled and can only be toggled on once power is restored.

Some combinations depend on placement

Effects apply in top, top-right, then bottom-right priority. The documented Boost and Wide combination requires Wide to be placed after Boost to be active.

Insufficient Drill Mod level slows deformation

When the current Drill Mod level is insufficient, the passage says terrain deforms very slowly and sparks appear around the deformed area, indicating a need for a higher level.

References & guide scope

Ten distinct Terrain Tool augment records: seven named augments, three Drill Mod levels, and their shared slot and power rules. Effects, Byte costs, materials, combinations, and restrictions are limited to the supplied Augments passage.

  • Coverage is limited to the supplied Official Astroneer Wiki Augments passage; other tools, modules, missions, and progression systems are outside this reference.
  • The passage lists Byte costs and materials for these choices but does not provide acquisition locations or complete crafting steps.
  • The Steam record establishes game identity. The supplied passages do not establish edition-specific augment differences or later changes.

Explanations prepared with GPT-6 Luna and checked against the linked references. These are source-reviewed guides. They do not establish independently tested optimal builds or exact upgrade budgets. How coverage works.
