I booted it up last night for the first time in a while (since right after they added buildings, I think?) and it does feel less grindy than before. I mean the game is still ultimately collecting stuff to build stuff to collect stuff without too much true risk, but the process itself feels less grindy - inventory space is less constrained and resource requirements seem to be less stringent.

So for those who haven't touched it in quite a while, may be worth picking up again for a whirl?

If anyone wants to join me one day on a pleasant paradise planet, I made a lame steam guide with super bad screenshots of where the planet is and what it looks like lol. Funny thing is, its the first system I ever visited too lol. And the paradise planets (with pleasant weather) are super rare.

Also, why does the visor show different (and wrong) info than getting out of the ship? I don't use mods, but its obviously pleasant weather because it hasnt rained in 2 hours. safe to say the getting out of ship info of planet is correct.

(edit: The planet info presented in-game is completely incorrect. No sentinels at all (despite showing as frequent), no weather at all and its a rather 100% perfect planet.)

Apparently there has been a long-time bug where sometimes the planet info shown is wrong, got it confirmed by someone. not often just sometimes. Was bothering my OCD with the wrong conflicting info shown in game But I guess sometimes its better to experience the planet and see what its like for oneself than info in the game

How random is universe generation? Does everyone start in a different spot in a shared universe, or is each person's universe randomly generated?

Different spot in a shared universe. But there is 18 quintillion planets so, yeah, it might as well be random.

For I now own this game, I hereby revive this thread.

Maybe we can get a Civilization going? Maybe we already have one that I don't know about?
Maybe the game is old and dying, and I got into it during it's dying breath?

Necromancy!

[Ozyton]

I did buy the game recently, haven't gotten far but I've dabbled a bit. I didn't think 'civilizations' were a thing? I know there's multiplayer now with the space anomaly, but what does making a civilization entail?

No mans sky is like 90% random lets add this thing, so they added settlements for you to manage but it doesn't link up with the base building.

Yeah. I'd almost like them to remake it. Either keep it pure exploration, or make it a game with interlocking parts. But decide first. The way the added stuff doesn't work together is weird.

[The_Explorer]

The only thing that stops me replaying no mans sky are the ugly planets I think elite dangerous actually has better planets. and I don't even really like elite dangerous that much, I'd rather play no mans sky...if it had better planets.

In no mans sky, I'd see one of those paradise planets. 19/20 times I go there excited cause it looks beautiful from space...

and its a freakin ugly as heck mushroom planet.

I literally had a phobia (probably sad lol) of mushrooms for an entire year after playing no mans sky, I was so disgusted at looking at mushrooms.

And even the better planets, like found a bubble world once...and I dunno if its the rendering or something, but at max settings there are barely any trees. I wanted a deep forest to explore, but its just tiny patches of trees around and it kinda looks ugly to me. Its like even the best forested planets have just been all deforested :|

but the endless mushroom planets ruined the whole game. way too many mushroom planets. and if thats how the real universe is, I never want to leave earth lol

With that said, the rest of the game was a ton of fun. And I could easily look past the kinda barren planets if it wasn't for the endless mushroom planets

Pretty sure this has nothing to do with civilizations.

Civilizations/Companies are more something that exists on paper rather than in the game.  They're both defined by registering with the wiki/game/dev.
Basically you create a few wiki pages and say you're a civilization/company.

So you essentially just have a group of people building all in the same area and creating some shared fiction? Sounds kinda fun.

As far as I can tell, yeah.
But most importantly, they decide to name stuff in the same general sort of way.

I tried to get back into this recently, but the whole pirates thing just killed it for me.

They do seem to trigger a lot, but I have never had any issue killing them. In fact, everyone loves me because I keep killing the pirates.
