I recommended a friend to the game and he bought it right away. He had a lot of fun for a few days and also thanks me for suggesting it to him. after about a week he read about the trick to multiply your items a hundredfold with several refinerys. he did it with all sorts of things .. items that give good units, nanit etc. after a few days he lost interest in the game and has not played it for a few weeks now. Since I have now spent several hundred hours in no man’s sky, I can only recommend to everyone: don’t ruin the game yourself!

(Sorry for my english it’s my 4th language)

I don’t interact with like 50% of the games content anyway so if something optional like shipbuilding will make me upset I can just ignore it like I ignore pets and farming and auto miners and literally any space combat. I haven’t played the update yet but the one thing that I do hope for is for unmodified naturally generated ships be unmarked while visually customized ships have some kind of tag in the UI. But if not it’s not a big deal.
