No Man's Sky made even better

Блог
The developers from Hello Games studio presented the second part of the major Worlds add-on, where they offered a lot of improvements to their "endless" space game No Man's Sky. The set includes quests, graphical upgrades, biomes and locations, including oceans several kilometers deep, as well as gas giants, the study of which is possible only for experienced gamers. The patch has been assigned the number 5.50 - let's tell you more about it.

What has been added to No Man's Sky version 5.50?

The first thing to note is the improved environment: there are more details on the surfaces of the planets, including various types of flora and fauna. This is due to the fact that the designers managed to improve the algorithms of procedural generation, and at the same time add landscape objects like mountains and valleys of new shape. Also the universe was supplemented with systems like Purple, where dozens of planets keep their secrets - they can be explored in cooperation with friends. Some of them even have deep oceans, diving into which is akin to flying into orbit. Only near the bottom you don't have a starship with you, and all you have to rely on are life support systems in a spacesuit, a jetpack and your personal wit.

Gas giants loom over the horizon, shrouded in methane clouds. Scientists say that such celestial bodies have no solid surface, but Hello Games employees have their own opinion: any of the giants can be visited and explored. Just be prepared for monstrous pressure, abnormal gravity, as well as severe atmospheric phenomena that can kill the hapless traveler. Among other changes we should mention the mechanics of sorting items: the inventory is now allowed to organize with a single button press. Finally, in multiplayer there is a story about the search for lost worlds and robotic Autophagi.
