"A populous, happy, and productive settlement will provide a generous supply of resources to its overseer every day," Hello Games say. There's another benefit to being Overseer as well. Ah, and there's a free placement mode that'll let you achieve wackier builds by turning off pieces snapping to one another. Not revolutionary, perhaps, but very welcome. There's also a newly-added edit mode which will let you move pieces without destroying and rebuilding them. A new interface gives you quicker access to things like scaling and rotating pieces. On that note, Hello Games also say they've made a number of improvements to the base building workflow. I sure do want to adpot my very own settlement and fiddle with all its buildings though. No Man's Sky's combat has never seemed to be its most interesting bit by my estimation. I don't so much care about repelling those Sentinel attacks. When I say that Frontiers has me written all over it though, I really, really mean it this time. Now look, I admit that I get excited about every single No Man's Sky update, in theory, while the truth is that the sheer size this game has grown to has made me skittish about actually ever going back.
Visiting NPCs may even request to join your settlement, whether they be talented chefs or robotics experts. After that, you'll be in charge of "naming the town, choosing what to build, commissioning festivals, resolving arguments, repelling the attacks of the Sentinels, and much more". Hello Games say you'll need to earn the respect of the citizens in order to get a job as Overseer. It makes for a settlement with a sort of desert-y vibe, I think.
You can spot what appear to be the stone-based building pieces here in the Frontiers trailer. New sets based on timber, stone and alloy materials all have their own look. There are quite a lot of new building pieces too. Inhabited planets all across the universe now have procedurally generated towns full of space folks on them. There are a heck of a lot of additions in the Frontiers update but the planetary settlements are the big central cog connecting most of them. No Man's Sky's update 3.6 has launched today with all that and a lot more. I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't that the Frontiers update would add huge planetary settlements, tons of new base building pieces, Sentinel settlement raids, and the ability to become arbiter and overseer of the local settlement too. Earlier this month, studio head Sean Murray called the Frontiers update "a missing piece of the sci-fi fantasy that we’ve always wanted to add," and I admit I didn't pick up on the hint. No Man's Sky has gone and outdone itself again.
