About 4 years ago I found a lush world with storms so rare that I often forget that they do actually happen and decided to build my base at a merchant settlement, the one with the landing pad, and then within the base building radius is one of those settlements where you do the number sequence puzzle and it finds a location for you to go check out. Been improving and restarting that base over and over again over the years. It also helps that just 200u away is a b-class electromagnetic field as well.

In the span of these 4 years I have moved three times after around a year-ish in three different cities. So in a way, that base has been more home to me than my own real-world homes by familiarity alone and I love that.

Here’s to another 1000 hours on my planet! Cheers!

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!!
