Frequently asked questions

How do I start Ad Astra Mod?
Craft a NASA Workbench, use it to assemble a Tier 1 Rocket and a Launch Pad, then place the pad and rocket down. See our 'How to Start Ad Astra' guide for the full first-rocket walkthrough.
How do I build a rocket in Ad Astra?
Rockets are assembled in the NASA Workbench from a rocket-nose, rocket-body, rocket-fin, and engine components rather than crafted on a normal table. Higher tiers need better materials and unlock further planets.
How do I launch a rocket?
Place the rocket on a Launch Pad, fuel it, then right-click the rocket to board and press the launch key. You need a full fuel tank and, for planets without breathable air, a working oxygen setup before you go.
How do I get oxygen in Ad Astra?
Craft an Oxygen Loader and Oxygen Tank, fill the tank at the loader, and wear it so your suit has air on airless planets. See 'How to Get Oxygen and Survive on Airless Planets' for the full setup.
