Hello Games Shows Off Foundation Update

After a surprise awakening two days ago, Hello Games have posted up the patch notes for the Foundation Update they’re adding the No Man’s Sky.

 

 

The patch notes are hosted over on their site, taking up an entire page with big sections devoted to each new ‘big’ addition coming in. For those who heard about the Update and thought it’d be a small, token thing… well, by the looks of it Hello Games really have been hard at work for the last few months. If you look at the patch notes that is. Certainly impressive.

 

So, to start we know that the Foundation Update is setting up the groundwork for a bigger and better base building mechanic. You should now be able to claim unoccupied bases you come across, and will be able to hire alien researchers to help you develop new technologies for your living arrangements. Or, if you later find a much nicer place to have a base, break it down and reclaim the materials to rebuild it there.

 

Farming is also going to come to the game, with some new crops being the result of the aforementioned research in that area at least. You will also be able to build automatic resource harvesters to cut out the need for you to constantly go searching for that last thing you need across many planet surfaces.

 

 

Off the planet, you can now hire massive freighters to transport big loads of cargo for you. They can also be sent to certain systems to accumulate resources as well.

 

Other changes include UI tweaks, and the addition of both a Creative Mode for unrestrained building, and a Survival Mode for anyone who wants a challenge.

 

Hello Games say that this is “the first of many free updates.” So hopefully there might be a chance NMS will become the game it was supposed to be.

 

That is, if the gaming community can forgive past mistakes…
