Exocraft are planetary exploration vehicles introduced in the Path Finder update. Three are available, and can be used to explore any planet as long as a geobay is built. In order to build any of the exocraft bays, a base must be built first to unlock its blueprint by building an Exocraft Terminal.
Nomad, Colossus, and Roamer with their respective geobays (left to right)
Nomad
The smallest Exocraft is the Nomad. What it may lack in cargo space, this hovercraft makes up for in speed, agility and its ability to glide over water.
Roamer
The Roamer in action.
The mid-range Exocraft is the Roamer, a great all-rounder capable of quickly crossing rugged terrain and adapting to most situations.
Colossus
Finally, the Colossus is the largest of the Exocraft. This lumbering behemoth offers an enormous cargo hold perfect for those looking to harvest resources.
Acquiring Exocraft
After constructing an Exocraft Terminal, acquire Exocraft by hiring a Vy'keen Technician for your planetary base and completing a new series of missions. You can place a Geobay on any planet. Doing so will summon the corresponding Exocraft. All Exocraft keep their inventories and installed tech when summoned, even on different planets.
