It had a few graphical upgrades through the huge content updates it got year after year.
Now there is more biome diversity, more decorative flora, better underground environments, more creature types…
If anything, they tried so much to populate it that sometimes I feel it’s lacking some truly desolate environments. “Empty” planets are uncommon, and even those are mostly cluttered with weird stuff and “anomalous” living things.
The new Worlds Part 1 update that got shown the other day looks genuinely exciting. I still need to download it too play it but the new planet generation and stuff that got shown off was gorgeous
Yah, I haven’t tried latest update yet. Problem with NMS is that it’s a bit daunting diving into it again and again, I don’t like returning to month-old saves and starting from the beginning takes ages. Especially that with all the content updates, you get a dozen simultaneous quests jumping at you at first occasion.
I’m still doing expeditions, and that in itself is already a ridiculous commitment IMO. I wish we could just do them at our own pace, the time limit is baffling. I noticed that last expedition literally 2 days before it ended, I got everything, but it was a freaking race to get there.
I actually cannot figure out whether or not I agree with this 😅 I don’t’ fully like it, and I feel like it holds the game to a feel that’s… Idunno, simpler than I’d like? On the other paw, it probably fits well, I guess.

Shit, this is a cool idea. I might have to steal this.
Nice screenshot. One thing this game did get right from day 1 was the art style.

I still haven’t gotten a chance to dive into expeditions fully. I really need to catch up
