Our latest Hotfix is now available, addressing some of the more persistent issues present in the game along with a few more fixes we were able to fit in. Of particular note are the improvements for the partial nuggets issue and the issue where Xbox players who purchased Megatech via a bundle were not getting access to that content as intended. We also buffed the storage capacity of the new Large Canisters, so thank you for sharing your feedback.

As we mentioned on [our recent statement](https://blog.astroneer.space/p/astroneer-megatech-an-overdue-apology/), we will continue to work on additional fixes in order of severity, but please continue to send your bug reports for any issues you encounter as you run into them. We’ll update you with a more specific time frame as soon as we’re able to and thank you for your patience as we work on resolving these issues.

If you have other issues that you want to report, please send us an email at [support@systemera.net](https://support@systemera.net) so we can get a ticket started to keep track of it. Please include as much info as possible, including which platform you play on, your in-game username, and a description of the problem encountered.

_*Modding Reminder: We’ve seen reports of the game crashing upon launch, and in most cases following the launch of Megatech this was because the game was modded. **We do not officially support mods**, so if you have used them on any of your old saves, you are likely going to crash. We recommend removing all mods and starting a new save if you want to enjoy the content. Use mods at your own risk!_

- _A quick update to help clear up any misconceptions: Mods are not THE source of crashes here. They do, however, historically contribute to them. We're addressing the issues we can internally but unfortunately cannot address issues caused by external Mods and recommend you uninstall them to see if that helps with any issues you might be experiencing._
