Overview

Alignment Mod is an automation-related item used to help control how other items and modules are placed or positioned in Astroneer. It belongs to the group of items that support automation, alongside other devices used for managing modules and resource movement. Unlike cosmetic customization items, it has a functional role and is meant to be used as part of a powered setup.

The mod requires power to operate, and if it is not connected to a power source it will drain the backpack. For that reason, it is best used while the player is near an active base, platform, or other reliable source of power rather than left running on the backpack alone.

In practice, Alignment Mod is most useful when a player wants more control over automation setups and item handling without manually adjusting everything by hand. Since it is an active power-consuming item, it should be treated as part of the network it supports rather than as a passive tool.

  • It is an automation item.
  • It requires power to use.
  • If it is not connected to power, it will drain the backpack.
  • It is intended for setups that need greater control over item and module behavior.
