It seems to be that time of the week, because Hello Games has just updated No Man’s Sky with yet another patch. This implemented welcome additions and fixes, a carnivorous bush, and a new Community Research update.
Let’s start by learning more about that Community Research:
Specialist Polo has at last emerged from the most involved data analysis they have ever undertaken—followed up by a more physical challenge in their workshop, crafting a new device to move this mystery forwards. They are exhausted and disoriented, but triumphant: they have identified the exact origin of the logs left by their lost Traveller-friends, ultimately a question of “when”, rather than where.
Polo requests that participating explorers apply this specialized device to a number of transmission devices on a specific world, characterized by oversized flora. They hypothesize that, with the right time-tuning, and well-considered decisions, it may be possible for explorers to influence events occurring outside of the present moment…
On top of this new mission, you’ll also be able to grab yourself a set of bronze, silver, and gold Atlas statues, each one featuring a rotating core. Three new plants have also been added: a carnivorous bush, a maize-like plant, and a squat dwarf palm. Take care when coming close to that first one!
The patch list is less extensive than prior lists, but important nonetheless:
- Further fixes to rectify getting stuck when exiting the starship
- Updated mission logic
- Updated text
If you’d like to make suggestions for further additions to No Man’s Sky’s continued updates, you can take part in the Explorer Feedback Survey.
