“Old Gold” is a palette that is unlocked after completing the main questline in Hardcore mode. In this tutorial you can learn how to easily do it yourself OR how to download the savefile and unlock it in one minute.
What is “Old Gold”
“Old Gold” is a palette that unlocks by completing the main questline (other quests like xenobiology don’t matter) in hardcore mode. You must use the following parameters in order to qualify:
- Limit Respawns: Active
- Default Respawn Count: 0
- Free Oxygen: Off
To get it, you need to activate the cores of all planets and activate the satellite without dying once.
Savefile
If you’re lazy, you can just download the save file.
1. Download the savefile.
3. Launch the game and load the “SES HARDCORE MODE_1”.
4. Activate the odd stone.
5. GG, you just unlocked it.
But what if you want to do it yourself?
You must start a new custom game with:
- Limit Respawns: Active
- Default Respawn Count: 0
- Free Oxygen: Off
The rest of the parameters don’t matter, so you can cheese them by changing multipliers, like oxygen consumption or giving yourself a starting items like RTG or hoverboard and etc.
Also, don’t get yourself too many research points like 999999999 because the game will just glitch and you won’t be able to unlock anything.
If you’re afraid of dying and losing all your progress, you can make a backup by copying your save file to another location. For this you must:
1. Save the game
2. Go to AppData\Local\Astro\Saved\SaveGames
3. Create a “New Folder”
4. Copy your savefile in your new folder.
If you died, just simply delete your file and paste your backup file there (also, you must restart the game after that)
