New Upgrade Cards

Each card shows the printed header "Discard OR [wrench icon]", with the card's upgrade effect below. The promo does not print any further explanation of that header; the Upgrade rules of the base rulebook apply to the cards as they do to the base Upgrade cards.

Threat Monitor

Choose 1 [die icon] die from this round's pool when you take the Manage action. Do not roll it this round.

Autofixer

You may choose a broken HUB part in a Maintenance phase. Roll the yellow [die icon] die. If you rolled a 3, repair that part automatically.

Hi-Fi Stereo System

-1 [grid icon] in each round's Production phase.

Anomaly Detector

When you draw a Discovery token, draw 2 more. Keep one, shuffle the others back into their stack.

Medical Complex

Heal 1 [hatched circle icon] and 1 [heart icon] (of the same astronaut) when you take the Heal action.

Parallel Sampler

You may reroll any blue die (once per action).

Cargo Trailer

If possible: Gather 2 [cube icon] (from the same ROI) when you take the Gather action.

New Upgrade Tiles

The seven tiles carry the same seven upgrades. Their wording is printed separately from the cards and differs in places, as noted below.

Threat Monitor

Choose 1 [die icon] die from this round's pool. Do not roll it this round.

Autofixer

Roll the yellow [die icon] die. On a 3, automatically repair a broken HUB part in the Malfunction phase.

Hi-Fi Stereo System

-1 [grid icon] in each round's Production phase.

Anomaly Detector

When you draw a POI token, draw 2 more. Keep one, shuffle the others back into their stack.

Medical Complex

Heal 1 [hatched circle icon] and 1 [heart icon] (of the same astronaut) when you take the Heal action.

Parallel Sampler

You may reroll any blue die (once per action).

Cargo Trailer

If possible: Gather 2 [cube icon] (from the same ROI) when you take the Gather action.

Notes on the Printed Text

  • The card and tile wording differs for three upgrades. The Threat Monitor card adds "when you take the Manage action"; the tile omits it. The Autofixer card says "in a Maintenance phase" and "If you rolled a 3, repair that part automatically"; the tile says "in the Malfunction phase" and "On a 3, automatically repair a broken HUB part". The Anomaly Detector card says "Discovery token"; the tile says "POI token". Each is reproduced as printed. The base rulebook uses the terms Malfunction phase and POI token.
  • Icons are written in brackets because they are pictograms with no printed word. The die icon is the die symbol used throughout the base game.
