Exotic Materials

[Manosman 0]

Has anyone found out what the exotic materials are for, I just drilled a really deep distance down and found this, it was mostly attached to a rock that i cant do anything with. I was able to get 2 stacks tho.

Astronium currently has no purpose that I'm aware of.

There are a lot of 'exotic' minerals in the game right now, all of which do nothing. The nonusable materials currently are Astronium, Carbon, Concrete, Hematite, Ice, Iron, Graphite, Scrap, Sediment, Steel, and Water

A nice usage for concrete would be some kind of concrete slab to build a flat area for your base.

To give another positiv effect for this over the default terrain forming maybe a speed walking boost or less slowing down in a storm?

My reaction when I first came across Astronium last night.  It made for a great moment in my Astroneer experience.  Next to it were two other  rocks that I assume are Iron or Graphite but neither had anything around it I could harvest to tell what they truly are.

You'll just have to get a vehicle down there and mine them with a drill.
