The updates just keep on coming to No Man's Sky. Hello Games has just revealed the space game's next big content drop will introduce something fans have been hankering for for quite some time: "living, breathing Mos Eisley-type settlements". Hello says this hasn't been possible before now, and has proved a "huge technical and design challenge" – but with the new Frontiers update, you can go get cosy in settlements across the game's universe.
These settlements are essentially "little towns, filled with NPCs with their own tasks and problems", as Hello explains in a press release. You can not only stumble across these, but also opt to lead them as an 'overseer', and grow them from fledgling outposts into much bigger, thriving places. If you take on this role, you'll get to construct new buildings, which'll encourage more folks to move there.
The update also overhauls the game's existing base building feature to aid in this, as well as adding hundreds of new parts for bases, advanced building controls, and a new grid-style menu to help you build even more complex and ambitious structures. Each settlement is procedurally generated, with its own layout and style, and as a leader of one you can rename it as you like.
