ASTRONEER 1.45.1 Details Free Leek Weeks and December Anniversary Plans
Leek Weeks run through Oct. 27, while the patch fixes a multiplayer perk issue and previews save-management features planned for 2027.
The Patch 1.45.1 Steam announcement pairs a short maintenance list with an active Leek Weeks event. The full leek-themed outfit set is free in the EXO Outfitters store through Oct. 27.
Leek Weeks began Oct. 14 at 10:00 a.m. PDT and will run through Oct. 27 at 11:59 p.m. PDT. Players can claim the complete set during that window, without having to return across multiple weekends to collect its pieces.
The Nintendo Switch release will be delayed in Asia. The team says it will notify players when the update is available in that region.
The EXO Archive’s weekly story releases continue with a digital re-release of the “Have we Met?” comic, which originally appeared in the 2023 Astroneer: Countdown graphic novel. The story traps Conductor Bell in a simulation with Dr. Gabriel Stone, a partner who seems strangely familiar.
System Era says its 2026 updates have focused on quality-of-life work, bug fixes, and overhauls to existing systems, with less emphasis on new content. The team is preparing its next major content update for December, to coincide with ASTRONEER’s 10-year anniversary.
December’s update will revamp Intermodal Terminals
The Anniversary Update will let players manage all their Intermodal Terminals from one control panel, including checking their status and changing settings for terminals on other planets. That should cut down on the back-and-forth currently required to manage the system.
Save-management features are also in development, with a release currently planned for 2027. The plans include time-based autosaving, customizable autosave triggers, and manual saves without a nearby vehicle or shelter. Multiple saves for one game will appear under a single heading, with the newest save highlighted. System Era says the feature is still being tested for compatibility with vanilla, creative, custom, and DLC saves across PC and console, and may change before release.
For Patch 1.45.1, the maintenance work adds perk details to Display Case Platform and Museum tooltips, then fixes issues with Orbital Platform Thruster Arms, multiplayer museum perks, and Mega-X Platform lights.
