There are several resources that can be obtained in Astroneer. These include gaseous resources, which are critical to ensure that players can craft important components and enhance their enjoyment with this game.
Of course, having to jump from planet to planet in order to get these resources can be somewhat of a royal pain at times. To avoid this annoyance, players can download the Supercondenser mod that allows them to gather all gaseous resources from any planet.
9 LowpowerOxygenator

The portable oxygen generator is easily one of the most beneficial machines any player can check out. However, one has to admit that this generator ends up consuming way too much power for prolonged use.

With the LowpowerOxygenator mod, this issue will become a thing of the past. Now, players can easily roam around planets without having to worry about their oxygen supply running out.
8 Rocket Launcher Mod
Sometimes, a mod doesn't need to solve a utilitarian purpose. Most mods are extremely popular since they end up adding a bunch of cool things to their respective games, and the Rocket Launcher mod is no exception to this rule.
It should be self-explanatory as to what this mod accomplishes. Using a rocket launcher in Astroneer is surprisingly fun and makes this mod a must-have for any player who might be getting bored of the vanilla experience.
7 Into The Sun

Graphical reshade mods are easily some of the most popular mods players can download for any game. The same applies to Astroneer as well.
Out of all the reshade mods available for Astroneer, Into the Sun is an excellent mod that provides the highest quality reshade possible. It adjusts both color & contrast, smooths out the image, and adds additional lightning & shadow effects as well!
6 "Generous" Mods

While Astroneer is a great game in its own right, one has to admit that the game can get pretty challenging at times. It's in these moments that the Generous lineup for mods can help out immensely.
The list of mods covered under this category includes benefits that allow for more storage, a larger number of tethers, higher power supply, reduced jetpack fuel consumption rate, and increased air capacity as well!
5 Alternate Start Mod

There's no set goal in Astroneer, meaning that players are bound to start new games after their old playthroughs end up coming to a premature end... or just become boring. However, starting the game on the same note over and over again can get somewhat boring.
Thankfully, this repetitiousness can be averted somewhat with the Alternate Start mod. It allows players to choose a different planet to start on after landing on Sylva.
4 AstroMinimap

If there's one thing that Astroneer could benefit from, it would be a minimap. After all, while traversal in the world of Astroneer isn't exactly confusing, one can't deny that a minimap would make the act of exploring this world infinitely easier.
With the AstroMinimap mod, players can take advantage of this useful inclusion in Astroneer. Roaming around the vast planets of Astroneer will be all the more enjoyable with this mod!
3 AstroNav

The HUD of Astroneer could possibly be just a tad too minimal for many players' liking. To make the elements of the game clearer for players, the AstroNav mod is the way to go.

With this mod, an in-game HUD is integrated that offers up a ton of information. This includes the planet's name, planetary coordinates (namely, the latitude, longitude, and altitude), a compass, and an optional universal position as well!
2 Tuned Crafting

Crafting is one of the biggest aspects of Astroneer. However, one can't deny that — like most games with a crafting element — Astroneer's crafting mechanic can also become quite tiring at times.
To mitigate this problem, players can opt for the Tuned Crafting mod instead. It allows for faster crafting modules, integrates autoarm improvements, and provides a cancellation option for crafting as well!
1 Character Customization Freedom Lite

Customizing one's character is a major draw in any game. However, in the case of Astroneer, the majority of these customizations are hidden behind achievements that the player needs to unlock over the course of playing the game.
With the Character Customization Freedom Lite mod, this issue will become a thing of the past. It unlocks all the customization options in the game and allows the player to go ballistic with the customization of their main character, which is infinitely more satisfying than having to wait for the achievements to roll in.
