I think i am just about done with this game, it was an absolutely glorious game, from start to finish. It made me feel like playing minecraft for the first time ever. From waking up on a planet with a broken ship, to walking around with 500+mil units full s-class ship, tool and freighter. The music, exploration, combat, story, mechanics, graphics and much more are just 10/10. Every moment from finally understanding a language to learning that artemis is dead or the universe is a simulation, all of these moments made me sit back and wonder, how i couldve avoided this masterpiece.

For now.. i think i’ll stop playing till the next update. I think just waiting for the quicksilver quests to appear or looking for upgrade modules, feels too much like a chore.

This game is definetly up with my all time favorite games!

Hey NMS community! As the title says, my friend group is looking for our next survival sandbox game to play and No Man’s Sky is popping up on our radar! After discovering all of the updates this game has undergone over the years, we are hopeful that this is something that we can all play together and put a bunch time into for the foreseeable future..

However;

We are aware that the game allows up to groups of 4 and after some light research on YouTube and Reddit, we are NOT quite sure what all that entails:

We see that 32 people can be in the same instance at a time on PC.. Does this mean we can all play with each other, build bases, quest together etc. in multiple groups of 4 (or less) at the same time?

In other sandbox-survival type games that we have played together thus far (Age of Conan, Ark, Terraria, Minecraft etc.) we had the freedom to pretty much play through those games together, interacting and doing objectives with eachother as a whole as much as we pleased.

So our main concern is are we going to be able to play most of the game together as a collective? Since we are pretty unfamiliar with how the game works and plays (we didn’t want to over-research on youtube and spoil the gameplay), we weren’t sure that, being such a large group, would we be relatively alienated from each other via the limited 4-man group sizes and if NMS is the type of game we are looking to play together as a full goon squad!

Thanks for any and all info guys!!

I know all of us explorers are feeling very, very left out. Although I am happy for the base builders, this did not feel like an update for us. But! I have some very interesting insight/news to share

Over 100k files have been changed, which is insane, considering NEXT had about 90k, so by technicality, this is one of the biggest updates for game.

There have been some very interesting file changes and system changes as well.

There appears to be a new system in which Flora, assets, and buildings can be dynamically placed. Meaning that they aren’t constrained towards a certain biome and they can theoretically have procedural assets, density, and sizes

The second thing that is being worked on (atleast from the file changes) is a system that can generate entire new planets, without having to rebuild new ones. (Think of origins but without any of the changes to the OG planets) this indicates that either, A. They are working on new planet types/biomes. Or B, they are planning to introduce a completely new galaxy(s)

The third and most interesting thing, is that they appear to be working on a base blue print system. I have very limited info to work with, other then a few files with the name BASEBLUEPRINT, etc.

And the most common one that people seem to talk about is that they are heavily working on water both visually and mechanically.

I would provide screenshots and what not, but it doesn’t really translate well over pictures, it would look like gibberish and make no sense. I am happy to send info or “proof” to anyone who is curious in dms!.

I know there is this rumor flying around that this wasn’t the “big” update. The version number and what not sort of lead me to believe that, however. The biggest red flag is the files themselves. I believe that the “big” update is still on the horizon, and I, as an explorer; am very hopefully about the future of this lovely game 😀

A massage to the guy who wanted to gift me suff so bad he chased me in the Anomaly:

I bought the game in 2017, picked it up a few times after the big Next update and stopped. I started to play again a little bit over a month ago and I’m amazed. I am fascinated by a lot of mechanics that to me are completely new. Living ships definitely take the first place for me, I want to earn one so bad. Anyways, I managed to complete a few quests, get a decent amount of units, but it looks like the amount of things to do in this Universe is incredibly abundant. I was playing with a friend of mine a couple hours ago, whom was also amazed by this game and bought it instantly after watchig me playing with the PS Share Play for hours, and I helped him to get to the Anomaly. While I was waiting for him to talk with the various npc’s, a guy gave me maps to exosouit upgrade pods. They’re fairly easy to get, so I emoted a “thank you” and “no”, to try and let him know that I’m not that new, and that I didn’t need anything. While I was trying to walk away he literally CHASED ME to give me stuff. He gave me a void egg, which as far as I know, is hard enough to obtain and fairly expensive in quicksilver. We started to CHASE EACH OTHER, because I felt guilty and wanted to give him back the stuff! It was absolutely surreal, and it’s also weird how video game community change that much. Kids wishing you terminal diseases on Rainbow Six Siege, people dying to give you their items on No Man’s Sky. In the end, he managed to sneak a void egg in my inventory. I’m the type of guy who finds satisfaction in obtaining things by himself, I feel that by not going through the regular process, I am missing parts of the game. You won, though, and to honor such victory, I shall keep the sacred egg, fellow traveller. I can’t ramember your username, I think it was something along the lines of “Black Tainted/Painted”, perhaps with a couple of underscores. Thank you, and thank you everybody for making such a community
