Dear No Man's Sky Devs

Dear No Man's Sky Devs

Ik that the community has been asking a lot recently but personally I LOVE collecting exotic creatures but there’s just not enough creature space and this had led me to abandoning some of my most beloved creatures so I think I speak for quite a lot of people when I say that I think we need more creature space so that we don’t have to abandon them, ik that this post probably won’t come to the devs light but if someone can make this get heard this would be greatly appreciated (P.S sorry for the crappy image quality)

I need to talk about the ending of the "Prayers to the Machine" questline

I just finished the “Prayers to the Machine” questline last night and I’d really want to debate some of the more philosophical and theological aspects of this game.

Because boy, does this game run deep.

(Don’t read this post if you just started the game and don’t want spoilers.)

So we know by now that the entire ingame universe of No Man’s Sky is a simulation, run by The Atlas. Some consider the Atlas to be a God. After all, it created the universe and seems to have full control over everything. Except it doesn’t. And the Atlas isn’t a God. It’s an artificial intelligence that might think it’s a God and it seems to be going quite mad because it seems to be sensing its impending death within 16 seconds, minutes, hours or whatever.

Personally, I think this is brilliant and strangely relatable. I personally believe in God, but I struggle with the concept of God as an emotional benevolent entity. I’ve always figured that if God is eternal and loving, He would go mad from the emotional strain. Still, I try.

At the ending of the autophage quest, there were two screens that really caught me in terms of philosophical and theological depths:

(I apologize for the phone-screenshot… screenshotting seems to crash my pc these days…)

When the confrontation with the Atlas culminated into this, I thought: yes, this is it! Information as immortality. One of the core aspects of Reformational philosophy (as I’ve understood it) is that we are known to God: God knows and loves us and this knowledge makes our lives eternal. We cannot be erased, even if we don’t know God.

Another aspect of the Autophage that I really love is how they are fundamental rejects, but return as a sort of saviors and givers of new hope and friendship. There is hope because whatever was destroyed can be rebuild.

I just thought it was really, really awesome that as a player we can give the Atlas hope. Maybe that’s our purpose as humans: wonder, explore, in the deep conviction that there’s always more beauty than we can ever imagine.

Please oh please Hello Games bring back planetary entry that looks like this!... 🙏

Please oh please Hello Games bring back planetary entry that looks like this!... 🙏

This is one of the things that I think Hello Games got right even from the start. But somehow I think either they removed, or made very rare. Planetary entry where the planet starts to look like a photo of the surface the more you descend into it, and up until you reach the ground and land it looks like that photo and doesn’t break the illusion. Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen do this so well. No Man’s Sky did it well too until they started adding that weird blue glow on the whole planet and completely white glowing clouds that appear when you enter the atmosphere even when you’re in the night portion. It doesn’t seem to make sense to me and it breaks the illusion. This video is from 6 years ago and I hope it’s not a case of “it wasn’t broke but we fixed it”. This is one of THE biggest selling points for a space game for me: the beauty of a planet being essentially a spherical photo of what you’re going to land on up to the point you make touchdown. Please Hello Games, since you’re so into improving the game indefinitely.. grant a space fanboy this wish.

Beautiful. Credit to original owner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZgedhq_iBg&list=PLhc7jupK0jnEaEE3gg809UbEAw0JTi4wU&index=14

Gardening is fun

This is my Stasis farm biologicals, a two minute run down the hall gives me enough to make almost 100 stasis devices at 15.6M units each. Couple that with my collection of S-class mines across 11 galaxies and you’ve got a moneymaking operation. …
