Oh....

You can go inside the red light area! lol

Improved surface swimming. Yay!

Drones shouldn't follow you underwater anymore either. lol

"Removed a hard pixelated edge seen at the edge of water." Can't tell which this is talking about. Maybe it's the horizon? Hopefully? idk

"Increased spawn rates of fish and creatures underwater." That doesn't help me with finding the missing creatures that still can't be found on land...
"Improved logic for spawning and despawning underwater creatures." And above ground?....

"Disabled resizing the terrain beam at times when it cannot be used." Thank you!

"Added ability to detect planets with water from the galactic map." Interesting... You know, this'll make it more obvious the planets with water too shallow for creatures to spawn (that it's supposed to spawn). If that's still an issue with water creatures.

"Disabled the find building ability in the vehicle’s default scan, as it has been replaced by an improved scan."

"Removed decals from the default vehicle, allowing player to add them."

"Fixed cases where birds would fly into the ground." Does this include tall plateaus? lol

"Removed unnecessary UI data to improve load times and memory footprint."
"Improved shader uniform resolution on PC, a performance optimisation."
"Implemented various performance, system and stability fixes."

Will these "new" creatures be scannable? Because Monstrosities are not. (I bet finding the last creature still hasn't been made easier with its flaws with spawning....)

WATER VARIATION

New types of water create stranger worlds to be discovered both above and below the surface.

Atmospherics and skies have been improved and stormy weather conditions can now produce rainbows in planetary atmospheres.

Exotic planets can be searched to discover mysterious artifacts which can be claimed as trophies. These otherworldly objects can be rehoused in habitable bases to create a showcase of your voyages across the universe.

These better not take up inventory space....

ARCHEOLOGY

With more varied planets come more reasons to explore. Unleash your inner archeologist and search the galaxy for planets containing the ancient bones of alien lifeforms. Complete, intact skeletons are particularly rare and especially valuable.

These obviously will.

Unearth the long-forgotten remains of fallen satellites and scrap them for salvagable parts. Explorers must use their multitool to dismantle the reinforced casing and extract the valuable technology within… but risk drawing the attention of new, challenging, corrupted sentinel drones.

STORM CRYSTALS

Those who endure the hazardous storms that blast extreme planets can seek out precious new crystal treasures. These spectacular natural formations become luminescent during the worst weather, and can be collected by intrepid explorers to be traded for a small fortune.

www.nomanssky.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/visions-crystals-1.jpg

I was wondering if they'd ever do something triggered by storms (but that would make finding creatures even more infuriating. Are these only collectable during storms or just that they light up?

New varieties of hazardous flora can now be found sprouting across the galaxies, ready to snare the unwary and reward the cautious. Carnivorous trap plants and bloated gas flora can be eliminated from afar, or carefully approached for extra substance rewards.

If they fixed the triggers, that is... rolleyes

Crashed freighters are now procedurally generated, with dozens of possible configurations. Explore different crash site layouts and carve a path with your multitool to retrieve the valuable cargo buried nearby.

Fixed an issue that prevented higher level Aeration Membrane upgrade modules from appearing in the Space Station tech shops.
Fixed an issue that prevented Freighter Hyperdrive upgrade modules from appearing in the Space Station tech shops.
Fixed an issue where players could fail to learn the Living Glass blueprint at the correct time.
Fixed an issue where players could fail to learn the Exocraft Boost blueprint at the correct time.
NipNip blueprints can now be acquired from the Base farmer after their mission chain is complete.
Fixed an issue where NPCs awarding procedurally generated upgrade modules would select from an insufficiently random pool.
Fixed an issue that prevented some doors + items that require Atlas Pass v1 from accepting v2 or v3.
Adjusted the behaviour of wanted level timers, so that the wanted level decays as the timer does.

So I actually can get rid of my lower tier passes (now)?... What a waste of slots.

Improved the appearance of the planetary readout from space.
Added a new section to the inventory item popup hinting at the item’s use.
Improved the visual feedback when collecting items, especially rare items.
Improved the text labels for armoured objects.
Added a filter for “Not Owned” to the Quicksilver Shop.
Fixed an issue which would allow players to browse their existing fleet whilst purchasing a new frigate.
Fixed a rare case where certain game inputs could temporarily fail to be recognised if remapped then reverted to defaults.
Prevented an erroneous boost icon appearing while piloting the Nautilon (on PS4 and Xbox One).

Fixed an issue preventing building multiples of storage container 1 (on PS4 and Xbox One).

Fixed an issue where extreme weather planets could fail to generate storms.
Improved the distribution of ammonia and uranium on toxic and radioactive planets.
Improved some analysis visor text descriptions.
Fixed an issue where the terrain manipulator could destroy valuable objects.
Fixed an issue where other players’ discoveries could prevent fauna and flora from being scanned with the analysis visor.
Added identifiable descriptors for all anomalous planet types.
Fixed an issue where resource crystals (eg Di-Hydrogen) could be rediscovered on every planet.
Fixed an issue where many minerals would be called Yukovsite.
Allowed the torch to be used when exploring crashed freighters.

Our next chapter will be called No Man’s Sky: Beyond, coming Summer 2019.

The first component of Beyond we are announcing today is No Man’s Sky Online.

No Man’s Sky Online includes a radical new social and multiplayer experience which empowers players everywhere in the universe to meet and play together. Whilst this brings people together like never before, and has many recognisable online elements, we don’t consider No Man’s Sky to be an MMO.

These changes are an answer to how we have seen people playing since the release of NEXT, and is something we’ve dreamed of for a long time.

We will talk more about each component when we know we can be precise, and look forward to sharing more in the coming weeks.

They need to be a bit more vague I think.

Oh damn.

I'm curious how they've modified or stabilized player movement, and if they did for everyone or just VR.

Because at launch, the player movement in first person with a controller was quite stable. Then they secretly started working on players having a 3D model that you could see in 3rd person. Sometime before that update, first person camera became linked to a (then, invisible) playermodel. There's quirks to that, and first person with a controller has been varyingly a tad cumbersome ever since.

Does that sound good for VR? I'm gonna say no. But if this problem is completely removed while using VR, is it also gone from normal first person as well? I hope so, and would be happily surprised, but I can't bet on it.

You know... I still haven't played the update that happened at Halloween. I wonder if there could have been any noticeable changes with it there, like last time. lol

I'm curious to hear the nausea reports on this.

Also, omg, first person rovers! Fucking finally!!!

(How much you want to bet they're still controlled in the same boring way with controller....

)

I do hope they've, yet again, worked on smoothing out stutter for normal players as well. But wanting higher settings that I can't have because of my current PC hardware is a sad expected struggle.

Actually, some revealing signs that they might be burnt out on NMS in that GI interview.

I still feel like the game hasn't come together as something you want to keep playing for a long time (even though I have), or repeatedly over and over. Because it wasn't satisfying. For me, I can say that's because the launch feature of finding all the species that a planet has is (afaik) still literally impossible on some planets and moons because of flaws with its generation and objective that the game has had since the start (even though it's optional). Like they haven't looked at fixing that problem since launch. That's my gaming OCD for you, but that pisses me off.

Not that I'm done playing it yet. At least, I hope I'm not.

(But again, I haven't played since before whatever they did in the Halloween update.)
