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 😀
