'''Exocraft''' are planetary exploration vehicles.

==Summary==
[[File:20200411110508_1.jpg|thumb|Five land Exocraft with their respective Geobays]]
'''Exocraft''' are planetary exploration vehicles which, with the right [[technology]], can locate specific [[Point of Interest|Points of Interest]], mine basic [[resource]]s or engage in combat with [[Sentinel]]s and some [[fauna]]. 

Six Exocraft are available, and can be used to explore any [[planet]] or [[moon]]. These vehicles require fuel to move. (Example: Organic Elements such as [[Carbon]] or [[Oxygen]] for the Nomad).

Exocraft become available initially by building their respective [[geobay]]s. To do this, you must first unlock a [[blueprint]], either through use of an [[Exocraft Terminal]] in a [[Base building|base]] on a planet, or via the research room in the [[Space Anomaly]].

==Summoning==
Normally, the player can only summon an Exocraft if it is not more than 750u away from the desired summoning location. However, building an [[Exocraft Summoning Station]] on any planet in a system removes the distance condition for the entire system, allowing the player to summon any owned Exocraft to their position from any other location or planet in the entire system.

Players who own a freighter may build an [[Orbital Exocraft Materialiser]]. This powerful technology allows you to summon your Exocraft whenever your freighter is present in the current star system.

Exocraft can be customized in appearance at their respective summoning stations using the orange panel. Options include paint colours, decals, and boost particle colour.

All Exocraft keep their inventories and installed tech when summoned, even on different planets, [[star system|systems]], and across [[galaxy|galaxies]].

==Types==
===Roamer===
[[File:20170316234719 1.jpg|thumb|The Roamer in action.]]
Roamer is the first exocraft that the players can access, as unlocking its geobay is a prerequisite for unlocking those for all the other Exocraft. It is classified as a medium Exocraft - a great all-rounder with 28 slots which is capable of quickly crossing rugged terrain and adapting to most situations including underwater operations. The geobay blueprint for the Roamer can be purchased at either the [[Space Anomaly]], or alternatively it can be unlocked at a {{link|Base Computer}} via the [[Base Computer Archives]] mission, allowing players to obtain an Exocraft without building an Exocraft Terminal.

===Nomad===
[[File:Nomad Water Glide.jpg|thumb|Nomad gliding over water<br />(recommended for Portal Travellers)]]
Nomad is a small and light Exocraft. What it may lack in cargo space (the vehicle only has 30 slots), this hovercraft makes up for in speed, agility and its ability to glide over water. Most effective with portals. Some players report this is the most fuel-efficient Exocraft.

Nomad comes with the {{link|Exocraft Acceleration Module}} pre-installed. This allows for a 1 second small burst in speed every 3 seconds.

===Pilgrim===
Pilgrim is another light Exocraft. Like Nomad, this one has 16 inventory slots and comes with the Exocraft Acceleration Module pre-installed. Pilgrim is the only two-wheeled member of the Exocraft family. With full upgrades in place, it is the fastest of any Exocraft on land. It is the most land-based member of the exocraft family, having a much shorter boost cooldown and being able to take huge leaps, but crawling while in water.

===Colossus===
[[File:7C6F26A2-16B9-4CE4-931C-CA8642C77C89.jpeg|thumb|Closeup of the Colossus exocraft]]
Colossus is the largest Exocraft. This lumbering behemoth offers an enormous cargo hold (42 slots in total), perfect for those looking to harvest resources, or install numerous [[Upgrade Module]]s.

Colossus has an {{link|Exocraft Mining Laser}} pre-built.

Due to a weak engine and a lack of grip, it was often regarded as a mobile cargo unit. To amend this problem and make it a proper space truck, Colossus received an update in NEXT which made it faster and more agile (its base speed was augmented even further in [[Update 1.63]]). Installing multiple '''Upgrade Modules''' can make it reasonably agile.

===Dragonfly (Not Released)===
Dragonfly is an outdated and unreleased hovercraft vehicle containing 16 slots that was recently extracted by the save editor. The original preview of the Dragonfly had the appearance of a smaller version of the Nautilon but with no headlights, whereas the old version of the Nautilon looked like a rocket submarine and performed very differently. In the end, the present day Nautilon took the model from the classic Dragonfly and the Dragonfly was unpublished, hidden alongside the remaining exocraft, but with no corresponding garage in existence. As of now, the only way to retrieve this vehicle is to copy and paste the locations of one of the other exocrafts that are visible.

===Minotaur===
[[File:Minotaur exopage.jpg |thumb|Minotaur exploring a planet]]

Minotaur is a mechanical walker containing 28 slots that can be used to safely explore all planets, performing mining, combat, and exploration tasks. It has an independent jetpack, and is with the pre-installed {{link|Environment Control Unit}} - it is immune to all planetary hazards. The Minotaur's standard mining laser can be upgraded to a {{link|Minotaur Bore}} if desired, enabling the alteration of terrain on planets similar to the function of a [[Multi-tool]]'s {{link|Terrain Manipulator}}. Also it is amphibious, and can mine underwater. It also shoots missiles

{{see|Minotaur}}

===Nautilon===
[[File:Nautilon exopage.jpg |thumb|Nautilon swimming under water]]

Nautilon is the only non-terrestrial Exocraft. It is a submersible vehicle that is designed for underwater navigation, combat and mining. It can be summoned to any ocean on the planet, as well as [[Nautilon Chamber|docked]] at underwater buildings. It has 28 inventory slots and its own special drive, the [[Humboldt Drive]].

==Acquiring Exocraft==
All Exocraft Geobay blueprints may be obtained at the [[Construction Research Station]]. Alternatively, after constructing an Exocraft Terminal, acquire the Roamer, Nomad, and Colossus by hiring a [[Vy'keen]] [[Technician]] for your planetary (or [[freighter]]) base and completing a new series of missions. You can place a Geobay on any planet. Doing so will summon the corresponding Exocraft. 

The [[Pilgrim Geobay]] and [[Minotaur Geobay]] blueprints can be either purchased from the Construction Research Station for 10 [[Salvaged Data]], or received as one of the rewards in the Community Expedition, the same applies to the [[Exocraft Summoning Station]] blueprint.

The [[Nautilon Chamber]] is available as part of the [[Dreams of the Deep]] mission. If Nautilon is obtained with the Construction Research Station, then the blueprint for the [[Hydrothermal Fuel Cell]] must be obtained from a [[Manufacturing Facility]], or an [[Operations Centre]].

==Upgrading Roamer / Colossus / Nomad / Pilgrim==
Blueprints can be obtained from Iteration Perses on the Anomaly, or the [[Exocraft Technician]] (requires a {{link|Exocraft Terminal}} to be be built in a base or on a [[freighter]]). Upgrades and some blueprints can also be obtained from any space station exocraft technology merchant.
