[John Day]

Niceee.

Big mechs could mean big alien fights soon? May we finally see thatgiant sandworm in the future?

Anyways cool job.

 

[Psykodad]

I sooo need to get back into this game. Haven't played it since the first week of the VR update.

Are there Jurassic World-like planets again?

I love this game, and these developers.

A trite statement, but worth saying to show my continued appreciation for what this game has become, and the amazing continued support.

Me too.

Now if only there were some planets with alien towns and cities. Maybe in No man's sky 2.... lol

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Wow, I say it every time there’s an update but this is the one that might actually get me back into the game

that’s awesome

 

[lefty1117]

man, these guys

 

[alucard0712_rus]

so much potential in this game. you can literally spend whole life developing one game!

They can already take my money if they ever announce another ambitious project like this.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

They've made so many improvements/additions it's scary.

Cool trailer, but I was waiting for the mechs to start duking it out.

I think there’s an in-universe reason for this, but same. Towns and settled planets would be really interesting, if a lot of work.

I wouldn’t expect something like a Zelda town where everyone can be talked to, and there’s sidequests everywhere, but something along the lines of the space stations or landing pads would be really cool.

It would just be nice to thematically break up the lonely wandering, as beautiful as it is, from time to time. Just on the rare planet.

The game that keeps on giving! It's come such a long way since that bobbins launch that I usually return for some planet hopping each update to try out the new additions

 

[Birdo]

They seem to be updating everything in this game except the biggest problem the game has........ lack of world variety.

All these exocraft, and we're still exploring the same looking planets over and over.

 

[synchronicity]

I keep waiting for them to "complete" it before jumping in.

I'm never going to play it, am I?

 

[Fake]

Those devs deserves every love they can get. Free updates are so good.

They went with developing more content for the collect resources then build stuff game play loop that is so popular in all the minecraft esque games. I don't think they could ever fix the explorations, planets and lack of variety without a new engine and massive human resources. This stuff is easier and cheaper to develop.

 

[FranXico]

One thing I'm missing is planets with multiple biomes. Up until now, it's always one biome per planet.

I was thinking the same. But thinking maybe it’s the perfect game to get lost in during this quarantine.

A good someone posted it already, everything is covered as well

One of the best reviews from back when the game launched summed it up best by saying there’s really only 5 different kinds of planets if you really break it down.

dunno if that’s improved much since launch or not

They have been adding a few more biomes and variations over time.
But each planet still is one biome. Once you've seen one lush or nuclear planet, you've pretty much seen them all.

Keep in mind though, just like in Minecraft, biomes are tied to certain types of resources, so a certain degree of predictability is required by the gameplay loop.
