Even though the are so many variations of planets, I feel like I keep seeing the same 10 or so biomes. I hope they keep updating biome diversity. And I know it'll never happen, but, I also wish they'd make it so the same planet can have at least 2 or 3 different biomes, such as tropical/desert near the equator and arctic/tundra at the poles, as opposed to the same biome throughout the entirety of the planet (not counting caves and oceans).
I mean. A planet with low gravity may let all of its atmosphere escape. It's smaller planets like the moon can't have an atmosphere - it just float away because of the low gravity. So that does make some kind of sense tbh
Yes, I also found this comment in the video a bit odd. In a game that features many things about systems and planets that have no basis in science, this is one of the few things that does. Gravity is what binds an atmosphere to a planet.
@@pauline_f328 I could be wrong, but I don’t think the weight of the gas matters, as Titan’s atmosphere is composed of mostly methane and nitrogen, both of which are lighter than air.
@@dagobahstudios3662 I just looked it up, and apparently solar winds greatly contribute to whether a planet is able to keep its atmosphere or something? So Titan was able to keep its atmosphere because it's further away from the sun and because it's shielded by Saturn's magnetic field or smth (don't take my word for it tho, it was a five-minute search)
I visited a place with massive mountains and gravitational anomalies as well as being partially corrupted as in they have normal sentinels except for structures and interceptors having corrupted sentinels but for some reason no adlantiam crystals but still had radiant shards I wonder is that a glitch or is that just rare
I believe I heard Sean Murray say in an interview that they don't want multiple biomes on a planet. So once you've landed on a planet you know that the entire planet will look the same as what you see immediately around you. There are a few exceptions. If the planet has oceans you can find some interesting coasts and islands. You might find caves. I would be satisfied if they could at least vary the terrain and vegetation density. They seem to insist on having the entire planet be hilly and full of rocks and plants. If they could have that but also regions of the same planet that is flat and free of vegetation it would add perceived variety without having multiple biomes. This game just refuses to give you a planet that is flat. Sometimes I get so excited when I find an area of a planet that is kind of flat because you're able to see things at a distance and it looks cool.
I agree! I think varying vegetation density and terrain more per-planet would increase variation without the need to have multiple biomes on a single planet. Considering there are already dead zones on planets without vegetation, it seems like they could implement something like that without a full reset. Who know at which step that's determined though. Thanks for watching and for your support!
There is slight variation from the mountains to the coast. It isn't much and it's mostly just topography but it would be nice to have some unique differences
@@ofthamist the games been out for 8 years now and has completely turned the reviews from the worst of the worst to scoring pretty high (against AAA titles). I think Sean has some idea of what he’s doing
I'm always a fan of the barren, airless, lifeless worlds. I always find them quiet and relaxing and one of these days I want to build a nice base on one.
Yeah but they get eerie and a bit lonely after a while too. I stop off to get minerals or build a mine on my survival play through and I get antsy and can’t wait for some wildlife or plants after a while. It’s sort of an uncanny valley horror vibe once you are there too long. But yeah at first it’s relaxing after the busyness of other worlds.
I really don't like airless worlds. The cold bluish stone is unnerving, and the lack of any life besides biologic horrors makes it an unsettling place to be. Ofc, I can't say I don't go there, because the rusted metal is useful, but its not a place I'd wanna call home
I used to think some of these biomes were mutually exclusive, but after weeks of exploring, I found a dissonant bubble lush planet, and I'm planning on making it my home base! I wonder if its possible to get infested bubble lush planets, or even one of those that's dissonant! Though I'm sure it'd be a mess visually, haha!
🤔 I am trying to think if I have seen a dissonant infested planet yet... sandworms and barking spiders would make for quite the random mayhem lol. I really like an infested planet with the oil-stain atmosphere filter, where everything is sepia-tone with the odd rainbow edge. Its like a horror movie.
I found a core system years ago. That has a bubble lush planet, 2 paradise planets and a grassy planet. No harsh planets at all. Only system like that I have found in about 600 hours. Another very rare planet type I've found, are colorless worlds and color shifting worlds. They are super trippy
I was going to mention colorless world, especially the ones with enormous flora! That particular system sounds pretty awesome! I’ve never found one in over 2000 hours that has no harsh planets! At least I don’t think I have…
Not just add, but actually give them some reason to be there. Sandworms may only scare a new player for the first few times until the player figures out that it's just a decoration.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention chromatic planets. Inverted color pallets make calling your starship a challenge because there’s really no easily discernible difference between green & red when everything looks black & white. I discovered one that was so dark I couldn’t see more than a few feet underground, even with my flashlight on. Very disorienting!
Sorry, no. I built a base there, but had to delete it when I tried to build a cooler base elsewhere, and exceeded the build limit for the game. (I’m a bit of a compulsive base builder!😬)
One thing I hope Hello Games keeps improving in the future is making these 'unique' types of planets more procedural than they are. The hexagon biome doesn't have ANY procedural elements aside from the sky and terrain, so once you've seen one you've seen them all. Volcano planets have some colour variation at least, but they still suffer largely from the same problem. Dissonant worlds are a huge improvement since they can be applied to any existing biome variant in the game and I really hope HG works on more stuff in that vein (and makes more sub biomes for the volcano and swamp biomes)
I played No Man's Sky back in 2016 and have been following it ever since then If you told me that the game would end up having volcanoes, underwater planets, and Eldritch horrors; I genuinely would have laughed in your face. I'm so glad they continued to work on this game and make it the amazing creation it is now
Started playing the game recently, iust reached 10 hours, and my first system had some cool planets, my starter planet was a snow one with tons of mountians, fauna, and 6 animal species. I had 3 other planets one was the hexagonal world, one was a very hot planet, andnd the last planet was one that had acid rain and no color evedything was black and grey, the animals were aggressive and it had a gaint animal that dug through the ground. Overall cool start.
My favorite part also. Always hoping for more variety with every update. Sadly, not much lately. I kind of understand others wanting custom ships however most time is spent on planets so feel improvement to planets,flora and fauna I think would give us the most bang for our buck.
Agreed. Along with adding a humanoid enemy for combat would be a big change too. Ship customization would ruin a lot of the shop hunting and feeling satisfied when you actually find that great looking ship and a good color. Could see them adding in color choices though
@@screaminseaman6121 The ability to customise would have little to any effect on ship hunting. You can still hunt to your hearts content, my collecting parts and assembling a machine to my unique aesthetics won't have any effect on you. It could even extend the hunting "thrill" by making at least some of the parts needed have to be found first, with varying degrees or "rarity". Lets face it, after checking out the first 20 + ships from salvaging sentinel interceptors to repairing the other ships can just become so much more of the same.. i.e it can get repetitive and boring. It's not like the process changes. Every "rare" ship location is almost instantly posted on youtube/reddit etc, anyway. You can't "on sell" any ship, just scrap, so no collector can be "ripped off" by buying a ship they thought procedurally generated but wasn't. Those that like to search and collect could still do so, those that want to get a basic hull and modify could do so as well. Just as these two different views exist in real life, they could exist in a game. Car enthusiasts exist as collectors of rare existing machines, and as those that modify existing vehicles to fit their own taste. Only conflict come in if someone got a rare machine and personalised it, possibly ruining it for everyone, but that's easily circumvented in a game. I really think that the whole "customise vs collect" argument is just redundant.. closer to "everyone has to play the game the way I do, for the same reasons I do" than anything else.
@@screaminseaman6121 well they ruin everything else with participation trophy'like approach to everything they update, they might as well go ahead and trash whatevers left sacred, they trashed the survival setting with the temptation of custom settings so who knows where they will go next, might as well be ships.
This has been a great trip down memory lane for me--other than Dissonant worlds, the rest of these planet types were in the game when I started playing, and I can remember the times I encountered most of them for the first time. I spent a lot of the early game tutorial period during my first playthrough on a pillared exotic planet, and I spent a while thinking "Wow, this is a lot weirder of an environment than I expected--is the whole game like this?" They're still possibly my favorite planet type just for the nostalgia. The first infested planet I found also had a color change effect on it that made everything grayscale, but with a refracted rainbow edging effect, like looking at oil on water. Really served to make the whole thing look--and feel--like I had landed in a horror movie. (This was before the update that added titan worm burrows and such, but there were still whispering eggs everywhere, and I was fresh out of my first experience with those, and the scare factor was strong.) On my second playthrough--which was the first on my own account for the game, having previously played on a friend's copy--I was very surprised to find one of the "bubble lush" planets you mentioned, where storms will be announced but do nothing hazardous. At the time I thought it was a bug. I set up an activated indium mining station there just in case, and every update after that I would hope and pray that the "bug" wouldn't be found and fixed, and ruin my weird little paradise. Although I've seen all of these types before at this point, I always tell people that while there is a lot of the game that is predictable to me now, I still find things to this day that surprise and impress me. Just the other day I found a hexagonal planet with a color change property that made close up things yellow and far away object blue during the day, but then did the opposite at night. Absolutely beautiful to explore. And that type of find is what keeps me exploring and recording, three years after getting into the game. Thanks for the reminiscing session, Kanaju, and great video.
I've wanted more variety in planet biome generation for ages, but I accept that the game engine is likely at its limits for complexity (with stability). I'm assuming this is why the focus has usually been on extra content to layer on top of the existing foundation. Thinking about it some more, I think I would really enjoy seeing some more variety in structures and 'locations of interest.' If the game had a much larger pool of buildings to squish together the worlds would feel a lot less samey and repetitive.
I feel like a planetside dungeon could be really cool even if it was just a retooled derelict freighter. I imagine having a more in depth break in for all those facilities needing to dive deeper into the structure and disable security systems to gain full control of the facility and reap the rewards
Too many buildings together bring the sentinels. That's why there are no cities. That's also why there is the sentinel alert level mechanic in settlements. The sentinels destroy everything if it gets to be too much
I may only need it for the one blueprint, but finding basalt is a priority, IMO, because the Paralysis Mortar is my favourite right-click weapon, especially in conjunction with the Voltaic Amplifier. I've got a base on a purple paradise planet with bubbles. The weather says 'inescapable toxins', but there are no storms and no drain on my exosuit. Mind you, I scanned one system from my freighter and got a 'Most Perfect Planet' record pop up - paradise quotient 91%. When I landed there it was infested and abandoned...
To get basalt, refine parrifinium, or phosphorus, and magnetized ferrite. I haven't had much luck finding basalt in the wild, even though it says you can.
I didn't know you could refine it from other mats. Mind you, I've never had any issue finding it. There was a volcanic planet with basalt in my starting system on my latest playthrough.@@lukecarter4944
Great video. I'm 350+ hours into the game and I've yet to encounter some features, like the the honey comb deserts, green volcanoes and diplos. Although, I have been to a couple infested paradise planets.
I'm so glad you made this and broke down the variation! I've played for hundreds of hours and the honey thing was honestly unknown to me- there's a lot of exploring people miss in this game because they don't look beneath the surface
additionally-i came across my first infested planet yesterday and it FREAKED me out at first, i was super caught off guard!! and now i want to find a bubble lush world to base on, thanks for the awesome video!
Interceptor update is likely the most welcome and liked of 2023 for NMS. I can only wish we had more of this kind of updates. NMS is mainly about exploration, it badly needs new things to be discovered given the 200+ galaxies out there.
I always loved the extreme weather worlds, surviving there is so much fun. Absolutely awestruck seeing an actual tornado touch down and then promptly fleeing from it. Storm crystals also fetch some nice cash and is fun to do when out in a buggy or mech.
Damn, I was on a Honey desert planet! Wish I knew about the sticky honey bit. I'm trying to unlock new recipes. Hope I remember where I saw that planet.
My favorite thing about airless worlds is the atmosphere, or rather the lack thereof, in a more literal sense. I love the fact that you can gaze off into the depths of space at any point in time on an airless world. Super rad for observatories or floating bases.
I like the way no man's sky planets work specifically because once you become a pro no man's sky player then you can start looking for all the unique stuff and it'll be even easier for you cuz you'll understand everything you're already seeing.
Id love to see tidally locked planets. If they are close to their sun, then have one side be too scorching to survive, and one side permanent ice, and where the 2 biomes meet, a ring of life. Could have high winds, could be always raining, it would be super interesting!
That is one of those chill style Kanaju videos that i will watch when i am chilling in my bed on a long sunday morning. Then i will go play No Mans Sky. Thank you
I wanna see a Fractured world. One where tectonic shifting has lead to massive chasms and caves along with jagged cliffs and rivers of lava. Would be cool to build a base on a planet and name it Mustafar
Awesome video! you seem to have a great passion for NMS. Im glad Sean Murray and his team tried so hard to make this game like they wanted it to be. subscribed :)
Somehow I ended up with an airless world in my home galaxy just a short distance away from my starting planet, which iirc didn't start out that way when I first started my playthrough but i can't remember right... but I honestly thought that it was a regular occurrence, so imagine my surprise when I find out that the more galaxies I travel, the more puzzled i am that there's no such thing anywhere else
Some people will always find excuses to complain about the quality and quantity of content. They are never satisfied because getting more is never enough for them.
Everytime I watch a video talking about this game it makes me want to jump back into it and explore more. I have 50 hours but I've been taking it slow so there's still so much I have yet to even touch. I've only seen a few of the exotic planet types you talked about in this video.
There are some weird combos in abandoned systems where you find cadmium, emeril and indium. Some of the bizzare macro-environments make it feel like being in a fish tank or a Salvador Dali painting.
I think you excluded the light fisher planets, with their improved lighting unique music and unique fauna and flora. But what I think sets them apart from (exited planets or any other planet) is the norther lights (inspired) lighting at night. I love coming to these planets and I think they offer more than what meats the eye.
Would you be interested in making a video of your favorite planets/pets/ships? I love searching for these in the game and I would love to see what a nms vet has collected over the years!
I think there's a pretty good explanation as to why airless worlds have low gravity, if the gravity isn't strong enough to hold & maintain an atmosphere it stands to reason that the gravity is so weak that you can take advantage of said low gravity
Dissonant planets are my favorite for sure.. spend most my time on those planets... just as you said... more content in general on those planets and the new sentinels are interesting.. ... even nanite farm on those planets as shards refine into nanites.. and with the camps and ship hunting.. fun planets to explore.. :).. nice vid..
Thanks for the descriptions my man, been wanting to know some more about the game so you gave me some ideas what to look forward to :) Therefore I have a moral obligation to sub lol
I remember a few years ago when I tried to get back into NMS and couldn't because my tutorial progression got completely blocked by a cave mission objective spawning inside a volcano. You can't dig through them and I couldn't warp to any other systems for tutorial reasons so I was completely softlocked.
I actually found a Dissonant Honey Desert in my main playthrough. It is one half of my cake farm, the other half being a milk and egg ranch on a lush planet. Also, now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure there are only blob and insect type fauna.
I have a base at a twin planet system, both planets are very close but not touching, and the gravity is almost nil, we did a few videos of us jumping from one planet to the other with all exocrafts (not the Nautilon of course) but we manage to jump planets with the Colossus, it's a fun place to visit
You know what, you're right! In reverse it does make sense. I still think they could vary gravity more between planets and moons, but I now understand their decision better. Thanks for commenting!
JUST started playing and BRO I visited a planet with star like beings that rolled and that’s pretty much all there was to it and they look exactly like the resources, game seems great so far
I just started playing this game a few days ago and I’m glad I saw this video before leaving my starter system where there is a volcanic planet with an infested moon. Gonna do more exploring here!
I agree, and I think they've been very smart leaving some systems empty (and others hidden), so there's always the hope of even more variety to come. Maybe some kind of infected (rather than infested) world, where spores in the air cause longer-term damage, degrading your exosuit in a way that actually costs you to fix (via crafting medicines in a nutrient processor), rather than just being able to go indoors and it's all better? I think there's also a lot of development possible on the idea of settlements, which are currently pretty basic once you've built all the improvements. Maybe a world you can terraform to make it more hospitable?
@@rudestbeast4907 but how about proper terraforming, changing a harsh and inhospitable biome into a "paradise" by heating, cooling, or removing radiation or toxicity? Or if you're so inclined, making them MORE extreme? Could be a big, expensive project for players who've completed all the normal challenges, placing several terraforming units around a planet or moon.
I don't mind that each planet has one biome but with one big exception: trying to find fauna that's located North or South. I know it's supposed to get you reading the data and carefully working out your orientation but different colours for poles on those planets would really help.
Or a compass that has E, W, and tick marks for the ones in between. It's often frustrating trying to orient yourself to the right direction, especially when you see something on foot or in photo mode, but then don't have a good visual reference after porting into your starship and taking off.
One time in an old save, I remember putting a base on a planet made up of shapes, and I mean almost everything was made of shapes from the flora to the animals. There were so many weird stuff on that planet.
I just picked this game back up after about 2 years and the planet I found my first settlement in’s weather is “Mists of Annihalation”. Don’t. Jump. Tornadoes, Fire, Lightning oh my. Thanks for sharing the cool planet types
5:00 an airless world implies its small enough that it doesn’t retain an atmosphere, or at least close enough to the sun that it doesn’t have an atmosphere. Regardless lack of an atmosphere would lead to reduction in gravity. Size of the planet isn’t the only thing that affects it, the planets atmosphere has mass as well.
You forgot to mention that there is planets in which you can grab and store materials and you can display as decoration on your freighter and base. Example the bubbles can be collected and be use as decoration. But anywho great video by the way.
The system I started out in had 3 earth-like planets (one with red grass) and a hexagon planet. It’s amazing. My first base is on a location I actually wanna be on lol
I would love more variety of hostile flora and fauna unique to world types, especially if they swarmed you randomly or at points of interest. As is everything's too nice or easy to kill.
About the honeycombs: I think they trigger some kind of reaction in the native wildlife. I remember my first landing in these honey deserts. There was this huge four-legged bug with crystals on its back. They were completely docile as I walked around. But after I destroyed one of those honeycombs, two of them beetle-things went crazy and started attacking me.
The most "unique" planet that I've ever found was a planet whose surface had the consistency of a sponge, with about half out of water and half submerged. It was a desert biome type. This planet was in a system that was a few of long warps from the original galactic hub location. After the next universe reset, the planet was naturally gone or transformed. I haven't seen a planet like that since and I have something like 4k hours played. There were even some of those swimming surface creatures in the water. Has anyone else found a planet whose surface is "spongy"? Here's a brief recording showing a little of the planet: ua-cam.com/video/7hIDcstP9mA/v-deo.html. The whole surface was like what is shown in this video. The video has been private for years but I made it public for this discussion.
Actually, I came across a paradise-ish dissonant planet that has gravitation storms. Whenever the storm hits, gravity just turns off, you can literally jump out of the orbit if you have a good jetpack. Really fun place to be.
the rarest planet in NMS is [dissonant infested paradised with grav anomaly storm, electronic enities, calm sents and ancient bones].. to all new players saying, i want a better game, its not gonna happen, this mundaneness in gameplay has been happen since 2016. NMS gameplay is comparable to staring into an abyss- that is not exactly a fun activity, but you feel compelled to stare deeper, before finally asking yourself, why did i stare into the abyss for.. the dupes you recieved are nothing but a glaring clutter of colored meaningless cards to shuffle or delete.
Wow. Kind of a depressing take. There is definitely some truth although I do enjoy coming back a few times a year. The game is always better when I play again.
@@pizzapie489 the game isn't for everyone I admit, it's for ppl who are content with observing ambience, finding super rare planets was I guess ok, it was a weird grind, but I'm not hyped to do it again, the planets I sought were 1 out of 500 chance.
It's kind of funny. When the update happened with the planetary biomes, my zero gravity planet became a corrupt planet. It was extremely unexpected lol
i visited a corrupted paradise recently, and the noises it made during a gravitational anomaly were so scary that I immediately left again after stepping out of my space ship for like 1.5 seconds D:
The low atmosphere planets are lowkey awesome ifnyou find the right one. Im doing a fresh playthrough and almost right away i found a planet that had almost no atmosphere and gravitino balls literally everywhere. So ive been farming those lile crazy. It also has aggressive sentinels, it says inescapable sentinels whem you land, but since theres no gravity its super easy to fight them.
i like the calcishroom/hydroponic garden worlds as they are the only glitch world that almost looks like a normal paradise world full of grass and vegetation
Planet on 0:25 is the terror moon. I have recently found it, and its just horrifying to be on. First, it looks quite scary. Second, sounds. Distant echoes of screams, random screeching, crawling noises undeground. Third, fauna. It had an extinction during which bobblers (bubble looking guys) went extinct, and rocket like robots started appearing. The temperature raised from -10 to +30, and the weirdest is their production. Seriously, what would a rocket produce? Wrong, bone nuggets. And description of the planet says "from another dimension". The ringed planet nearby also exists in my universe, leading to a fact that this is a multiverse-class planet and its moon respectively. Oh, ive also been to next 2 planets long time ago.
I hope at some point they find a way to generate multiple unique biomes on a single planet. I'd love to find some frozen ice caps, with a desert or a rainforest on the equator with paradise conditions between, or something in that vein
In my system that I started in there was an infested planet, that was mostly water with random islands here and there. Since I didn't know much about the world, I kinda got scared by the whispering egg creatures
My favourite are those, that not neccessarily feature a whole new type of a biome, but have a twisted hue of sunlight - all violet, all yellow or all read (that I encountered so far). And of those my very own number one standing are... monochromatic worlds - where I can really appreciate how poorly painted my starship :) - still, seriously, monochromatic worlds are something else :)
That second planet in the intro, the one with the floating rocks shooting energy out of them, I wish I knew where it was, its my goal to find it again after being put there during the artemis questline but being so engrossed in the planet I didn't place down any markers and the portals led me to the same glyphed planet but it was totally different not even a day later...
okay so recently playing the new expedition, i noticed the titan worms on rendezvous planets were different, procedural like everything else I'm guessing, and in this video, THE WORM WITH THE BIG EYE??? Didn't know the differences could be so big. A video on different worms like this would be cool, I've not really seen anyone else talk about it.
if not more then one biome per planet then i think at least especially exotic biomes should be mixed more with other biomes, like imagine a lush cabled world, or a water pillar world, or a toxic hexagonal world, or volcanic fragmented world, it would be so cool, and especially if they added more variety to the coloration of exotic fauna and flora and such that alone would make worlds feel more unique, because by far the most samey worlds are exotics, they have almost no variation other then the atmosphere, but they are still cool even with their lack of variety to me, i love cabled planets personally, but imagining that biome mixed with like an underwater one or a lush biome or something sounds so cool
I remeber when i find a dissonant AND infested planet. It was terrifying, and sorry i didn't have the coordonate because i litterally scream of fear before closing the game when a titan worm appear just right in front of me
I found a perfect dis temperate planet that has no hazard. It was actually my first warp and also my first planet I have actually explored and had a good time with :)
Just remember that "need" really means "want." Those who are primarily explorers might loathe added enemies or threats. Many view the game as one primarily of exploration. Hello Games tries to balance the wants of varied types of players faith out doing profits that effectively exclude some group.
@@cyber4eyes766 You make a great point. I love the feeling of exploration myself and would hate constant interruption by spawning enemies. What I would like in the field of enemies would be something like instanced zones found in space or planetside where Pirates or a new enemy faction reside that require onfoot combat. Maybe with a goal such as "shut down A" or "defeat marker enemies". But these instances will be openly apparent so that those who don't want to engage can avoid them altogether. It is a thought :D
I came across a planet a number of years ago that was pure, black and white. When you landed on the planet, your ship became black and white. You get out and walk around and your character becomes black-and-white. The only thing that had color was these living creatures that resembled three-dimensional stars made of bone that would roll around for the locomotion, and it had a glowing core, I still have one as a pet. And I’ve also come across the water world. It only had one spot that had any kind of land that you could park your ship, and it was meager fitting lol.
i think nms should add more than 1 biome per planet like if u are in the poles of the planet it would be a frozen biome, if u are in a region which have no rivers it will be a desert, etc
Even though the are so many variations of planets, I feel like I keep seeing the same 10 or so biomes. I hope they keep updating biome diversity. And I know it'll never happen, but, I also wish they'd make it so the same planet can have at least 2 or 3 different biomes, such as tropical/desert near the equator and arctic/tundra at the poles, as opposed to the same biome throughout the entirety of the planet (not counting caves and oceans).
This is the one update that needs to be made to make the game feel truly complete i would love new assets for flora fauna and new world generation
Why will it never happen?
@@santiastronomoprobably more focused on other stuff like multitool variants or story missions
@@ZyroShadowPony oh okay
there is a planet type that make everything on the grayscale so its really cool and special I think its part of exotic planets
I mean. A planet with low gravity may let all of its atmosphere escape. It's smaller planets like the moon can't have an atmosphere - it just float away because of the low gravity. So that does make some kind of sense tbh
Yes, I also found this comment in the video a bit odd. In a game that features many things about systems and planets that have no basis in science, this is one of the few things that does. Gravity is what binds an atmosphere to a planet.
Key word being “may”. Moons such as Titan have a thick atmosphere with moon like gravity so it is possible.
@@dagobahstudios3662 Ooh, interesting. I wonder if it in part depends on the type of gas it is, since some gases are heavier? 🤔
@@pauline_f328 I could be wrong, but I don’t think the weight of the gas matters, as Titan’s atmosphere is composed of mostly methane and nitrogen, both of which are lighter than air.
@@dagobahstudios3662 I just looked it up, and apparently solar winds greatly contribute to whether a planet is able to keep its atmosphere or something? So Titan was able to keep its atmosphere because it's further away from the sun and because it's shielded by Saturn's magnetic field or smth (don't take my word for it tho, it was a five-minute search)
Once I visited a moon with gravity so low I jumped and actually exited the atmosphere! I love this game
Thats awesome
I visited a place with massive mountains and gravitational anomalies as well as being partially corrupted as in they have normal sentinels except for structures and interceptors having corrupted sentinels but for some reason no adlantiam crystals but still had radiant shards I wonder is that a glitch or is that just rare
Those are the ones that get added to your Personal Wonders
me to
that sounds like terrifying, lol
I believe I heard Sean Murray say in an interview that they don't want multiple biomes on a planet. So once you've landed on a planet you know that the entire planet will look the same as what you see immediately around you. There are a few exceptions. If the planet has oceans you can find some interesting coasts and islands. You might find caves. I would be satisfied if they could at least vary the terrain and vegetation density. They seem to insist on having the entire planet be hilly and full of rocks and plants. If they could have that but also regions of the same planet that is flat and free of vegetation it would add perceived variety without having multiple biomes. This game just refuses to give you a planet that is flat. Sometimes I get so excited when I find an area of a planet that is kind of flat because you're able to see things at a distance and it looks cool.
I agree! I think varying vegetation density and terrain more per-planet would increase variation without the need to have multiple biomes on a single planet. Considering there are already dead zones on planets without vegetation, it seems like they could implement something like that without a full reset. Who know at which step that's determined though. Thanks for watching and for your support!
There is slight variation from the mountains to the coast. It isn't much and it's mostly just topography but it would be nice to have some unique differences
@@Kanaju I would like that
@@ShmankyTube sean murray sounds like he has no clue what hes talking about i see why the game launched the way it did
@@ofthamist the games been out for 8 years now and has completely turned the reviews from the worst of the worst to scoring pretty high (against AAA titles). I think Sean has some idea of what he’s doing
I'm always a fan of the barren, airless, lifeless worlds. I always find them quiet and relaxing and one of these days I want to build a nice base on one.
Yeah but they get eerie and a bit lonely after a while too. I stop off to get minerals or build a mine on my survival play through and I get antsy and can’t wait for some wildlife or plants after a while. It’s sort of an uncanny valley horror vibe once you are there too long. But yeah at first it’s relaxing after the busyness of other worlds.
I really don't like airless worlds. The cold bluish stone is unnerving, and the lack of any life besides biologic horrors makes it an unsettling place to be.
Ofc, I can't say I don't go there, because the rusted metal is useful, but its not a place I'd wanna call home
Same. It feels very peaceful and safe on them and it's nice to have a little house on a hill in the middle of a vast wasteland.
@@matthewtowne8220 They're really fun with the nomad. One good bump and you're travelling 🚀
I did just that. Like a moon base. For no other reason than to enjoy the low-gravity exploring!
I used to think some of these biomes were mutually exclusive, but after weeks of exploring, I found a dissonant bubble lush planet, and I'm planning on making it my home base! I wonder if its possible to get infested bubble lush planets, or even one of those that's dissonant! Though I'm sure it'd be a mess visually, haha!
🤔 I am trying to think if I have seen a dissonant infested planet yet... sandworms and barking spiders would make for quite the random mayhem lol.
I really like an infested planet with the oil-stain atmosphere filter, where everything is sepia-tone with the odd rainbow edge.
Its like a horror movie.
I've definitely visited infested bubble lush worlds, but I can't give you any coordinates.
I live on an dissonant infested paradise world with a Dissonant plated moon.
7:36 - this is the most aggressive "Bubble storms!" I've ever heard in my life. 😆
I found a core system years ago. That has a bubble lush planet, 2 paradise planets and a grassy planet. No harsh planets at all. Only system like that I have found in about 600 hours. Another very rare planet type I've found, are colorless worlds and color shifting worlds. They are super trippy
I was going to mention colorless world, especially the ones with enormous flora! That particular system sounds pretty awesome! I’ve never found one in over 2000 hours that has no harsh planets! At least I don’t think I have…
@@anditippie5923 I think they were more common back in the day. I've found several
I’ve found 2 colorless planets those are ones are so trippy
I've found plenty of colorless ones the ones I found seem to be all FROZEN HELLs and are super eerie because they aren't cold! 😱
drop portal symbol numbers!
i think they should add more colossal creatures like the sand worms
Not just add, but actually give them some reason to be there. Sandworms may only scare a new player for the first few times until the player figures out that it's just a decoration.
@@Erionarthis would actually be amazing. Imagine building a moving base on like a giant walker thing.
I want Monster hunter bounties where you can actually tame or fight them
I’m surprised you didn’t mention chromatic planets. Inverted color pallets make calling your starship a challenge because there’s really no easily discernible difference between green & red when everything looks black & white.
I discovered one that was so dark I couldn’t see more than a few feet underground, even with my flashlight on. Very disorienting!
Do you have the glyphs for that dark planet
Sorry, no.
I built a base there, but had to delete it when I tried to build a cooler base elsewhere, and exceeded the build limit for the game. (I’m a bit of a compulsive base builder!😬)
One thing I hope Hello Games keeps improving in the future is making these 'unique' types of planets more procedural than they are. The hexagon biome doesn't have ANY procedural elements aside from the sky and terrain, so once you've seen one you've seen them all. Volcano planets have some colour variation at least, but they still suffer largely from the same problem. Dissonant worlds are a huge improvement since they can be applied to any existing biome variant in the game and I really hope HG works on more stuff in that vein (and makes more sub biomes for the volcano and swamp biomes)
I played No Man's Sky back in 2016 and have been following it ever since then
If you told me that the game would end up having volcanoes, underwater planets, and Eldritch horrors; I genuinely would have laughed in your face.
I'm so glad they continued to work on this game and make it the amazing creation it is now
Well since Sean used to say you might find a planet where the air is liquid, it's really not that weird. You could argue it's not weird enough
Started playing the game recently, iust reached 10 hours, and my first system had some cool planets, my starter planet was a snow one with tons of mountians, fauna, and 6 animal species. I had 3 other planets one was the hexagonal world, one was a very hot planet, andnd the last planet was one that had acid rain and no color evedything was black and grey, the animals were aggressive and it had a gaint animal that dug through the ground. Overall cool start.
My favorite part also. Always hoping for more variety with every update. Sadly, not much lately. I kind of understand others wanting custom ships however most time is spent on planets so feel improvement to planets,flora and fauna I think would give us the most bang for our buck.
Agreed. Along with adding a humanoid enemy for combat would be a big change too. Ship customization would ruin a lot of the shop hunting and feeling satisfied when you actually find that great looking ship and a good color. Could see them adding in color choices though
@@screaminseaman6121 The ability to customise would have little to any effect on ship hunting.
You can still hunt to your hearts content, my collecting parts and assembling a machine to my unique aesthetics won't have any effect on you.
It could even extend the hunting "thrill" by making at least some of the parts needed have to be found first, with varying degrees or "rarity".
Lets face it, after checking out the first 20 + ships from salvaging sentinel interceptors to repairing the other ships can just become so much more of the same.. i.e it can get repetitive and boring. It's not like the process changes.
Every "rare" ship location is almost instantly posted on youtube/reddit etc, anyway.
You can't "on sell" any ship, just scrap, so no collector can be "ripped off" by buying a ship they thought procedurally generated but wasn't.
Those that like to search and collect could still do so, those that want to get a basic hull and modify could do so as well. Just as these two different views exist in real life, they could exist in a game. Car enthusiasts exist as collectors of rare existing machines, and as those that modify existing vehicles to fit their own taste. Only conflict come in if someone got a rare machine and personalised it, possibly ruining it for everyone, but that's easily circumvented in a game.
I really think that the whole "customise vs collect" argument is just redundant.. closer to "everyone has to play the game the way I do, for the same reasons I do" than anything else.
Planets? Is that what those big balls I fly by are called? Today I learned... #FreighterLife
@@chaosgyro unfathomably based
@@screaminseaman6121 well they ruin everything else with participation trophy'like approach to everything they update, they might as well go ahead and trash whatevers left sacred, they trashed the survival setting with the temptation of custom settings so who knows where they will go next, might as well be ships.
This has been a great trip down memory lane for me--other than Dissonant worlds, the rest of these planet types were in the game when I started playing, and I can remember the times I encountered most of them for the first time.
I spent a lot of the early game tutorial period during my first playthrough on a pillared exotic planet, and I spent a while thinking "Wow, this is a lot weirder of an environment than I expected--is the whole game like this?" They're still possibly my favorite planet type just for the nostalgia.
The first infested planet I found also had a color change effect on it that made everything grayscale, but with a refracted rainbow edging effect, like looking at oil on water. Really served to make the whole thing look--and feel--like I had landed in a horror movie. (This was before the update that added titan worm burrows and such, but there were still whispering eggs everywhere, and I was fresh out of my first experience with those, and the scare factor was strong.)
On my second playthrough--which was the first on my own account for the game, having previously played on a friend's copy--I was very surprised to find one of the "bubble lush" planets you mentioned, where storms will be announced but do nothing hazardous. At the time I thought it was a bug. I set up an activated indium mining station there just in case, and every update after that I would hope and pray that the "bug" wouldn't be found and fixed, and ruin my weird little paradise.
Although I've seen all of these types before at this point, I always tell people that while there is a lot of the game that is predictable to me now, I still find things to this day that surprise and impress me. Just the other day I found a hexagonal planet with a color change property that made close up things yellow and far away object blue during the day, but then did the opposite at night. Absolutely beautiful to explore. And that type of find is what keeps me exploring and recording, three years after getting into the game.
Thanks for the reminiscing session, Kanaju, and great video.
I've wanted more variety in planet biome generation for ages, but I accept that the game engine is likely at its limits for complexity (with stability). I'm assuming this is why the focus has usually been on extra content to layer on top of the existing foundation.
Thinking about it some more, I think I would really enjoy seeing some more variety in structures and 'locations of interest.' If the game had a much larger pool of buildings to squish together the worlds would feel a lot less samey and repetitive.
I feel like a planetside dungeon could be really cool even if it was just a retooled derelict freighter. I imagine having a more in depth break in for all those facilities needing to dive deeper into the structure and disable security systems to gain full control of the facility and reap the rewards
Too many buildings together bring the sentinels. That's why there are no cities. That's also why there is the sentinel alert level mechanic in settlements. The sentinels destroy everything if it gets to be too much
I may only need it for the one blueprint, but finding basalt is a priority, IMO, because the Paralysis Mortar is my favourite right-click weapon, especially in conjunction with the Voltaic Amplifier.
I've got a base on a purple paradise planet with bubbles. The weather says 'inescapable toxins', but there are no storms and no drain on my exosuit.
Mind you, I scanned one system from my freighter and got a 'Most Perfect Planet' record pop up - paradise quotient 91%. When I landed there it was infested and abandoned...
I've not been playing that long, but have found the so called "paradise planets" to be ... well... not so much paradise at all
To get basalt, refine parrifinium, or phosphorus, and magnetized ferrite. I haven't had much luck finding basalt in the wild, even though it says you can.
I didn't know you could refine it from other mats. Mind you, I've never had any issue finding it. There was a volcanic planet with basalt in my starting system on my latest playthrough.@@lukecarter4944
Great video. I'm 350+ hours into the game and I've yet to encounter some features, like the the honey comb deserts, green volcanoes and diplos. Although, I have been to a couple infested paradise planets.
I'm so glad you made this and broke down the variation! I've played for hundreds of hours and the honey thing was honestly unknown to me- there's a lot of exploring people miss in this game because they don't look beneath the surface
I got really lucky and found a bubble planet in my second solar system
i only recently started playing and every time i think i find the perfect planet to base on i find an even cooler one!!!! it’s so awesome
additionally-i came across my first infested planet yesterday and it FREAKED me out at first, i was super caught off guard!!
and now i want to find a bubble lush world to base on, thanks for the awesome video!
Interceptor update is likely the most welcome and liked of 2023 for NMS. I can only wish we had more of this kind of updates. NMS is mainly about exploration, it badly needs new things to be discovered given the 200+ galaxies out there.
I always loved the extreme weather worlds, surviving there is so much fun. Absolutely awestruck seeing an actual tornado touch down and then promptly fleeing from it.
Storm crystals also fetch some nice cash and is fun to do when out in a buggy or mech.
Damn, I was on a Honey desert planet! Wish I knew about the sticky honey bit. I'm trying to unlock new recipes. Hope I remember where I saw that planet.
My favorite thing about airless worlds is the atmosphere, or rather the lack thereof, in a more literal sense. I love the fact that you can gaze off into the depths of space at any point in time on an airless world. Super rad for observatories or floating bases.
KANAJU: What sets 'em apart, eh? Whattayou tryin' to pull?!
ME: hit him
I like the way no man's sky planets work specifically because once you become a pro no man's sky player then you can start looking for all the unique stuff and it'll be even easier for you cuz you'll understand everything you're already seeing.
Noo fucking way, the like button shines and lights up when you mention it, can't get over how cool it is
That's weird! I was just reading about that!
Id love to see tidally locked planets. If they are close to their sun, then have one side be too scorching to survive, and one side permanent ice, and where the 2 biomes meet, a ring of life. Could have high winds, could be always raining, it would be super interesting!
I found a dissonant world with a volcanic biome and it looked stunning, even the volcanos were purple!
That is one of those chill style Kanaju videos that i will watch when i am chilling in my bed on a long sunday morning. Then i will go play No Mans Sky. Thank you
I wanna see a Fractured world. One where tectonic shifting has lead to massive chasms and caves along with jagged cliffs and rivers of lava. Would be cool to build a base on a planet and name it Mustafar
1:48 That's a Zelda boss. You gotta hit its eye.
Awesome video! you seem to have a great passion for NMS. Im glad Sean Murray and his team tried so hard to make this game like they wanted it to be. subscribed :)
Somehow I ended up with an airless world in my home galaxy just a short distance away from my starting planet, which iirc didn't start out that way when I first started my playthrough but i can't remember right... but I honestly thought that it was a regular occurrence, so imagine my surprise when I find out that the more galaxies I travel, the more puzzled i am that there's no such thing anywhere else
Some people will always find excuses to complain about the quality and quantity of content. They are never satisfied because getting more is never enough for them.
Everytime I watch a video talking about this game it makes me want to jump back into it and explore more. I have 50 hours but I've been taking it slow so there's still so much I have yet to even touch. I've only seen a few of the exotic planet types you talked about in this video.
What's the biome for the planet at 14:14 ? It looks absolutely awesome and I'd love to build a base on one !
NOOOoooo I MISSED A BUNCH OF KANAJU VIDEOS! HOW COULD I LET THIS HAPPEN?!
There are some weird combos in abandoned systems where you find cadmium, emeril and indium. Some of the bizzare macro-environments make it feel like being in a fish tank or a Salvador Dali painting.
Great video! Appreciate you taking the time to stream this!
I think you excluded the light fisher planets, with their improved lighting unique music and unique fauna and flora. But what I think sets them apart from (exited planets or any other planet) is the norther lights (inspired) lighting at night. I love coming to these planets and I think they offer more than what meats the eye.
Hexite planets the auto correct…
Would you be interested in making a video of your favorite planets/pets/ships? I love searching for these in the game and I would love to see what a nms vet has collected over the years!
Great video! and yes, I have seen more insects lately.
I think there's a pretty good explanation as to why airless worlds have low gravity, if the gravity isn't strong enough to hold & maintain an atmosphere it stands to reason that the gravity is so weak that you can take advantage of said low gravity
Dissonant planets are my favorite for sure.. spend most my time on those planets... just as you said... more content in general on those planets and the new sentinels are interesting.. ... even nanite farm on those planets as shards refine into nanites.. and with the camps and ship hunting.. fun planets to explore.. :).. nice vid..
Thanks for the descriptions my man, been wanting to know some more about the game so you gave me some ideas what to look forward to :) Therefore I have a moral obligation to sub lol
I remember a few years ago when I tried to get back into NMS and couldn't because my tutorial progression got completely blocked by a cave mission objective spawning inside a volcano. You can't dig through them and I couldn't warp to any other systems for tutorial reasons so I was completely softlocked.
That's when you join a friend on a different planet or have anyone send you an invite to escape that prison
I actually found a Dissonant Honey Desert in my main playthrough. It is one half of my cake farm, the other half being a milk and egg ranch on a lush planet. Also, now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure there are only blob and insect type fauna.
I have a base at a twin planet system, both planets are very close but not touching, and the gravity is almost nil, we did a few videos of us jumping from one planet to the other with all exocrafts (not the Nautilon of course) but we manage to jump planets with the Colossus, it's a fun place to visit
What's this planets coordinates?
@@Windrake101 256 Odyalutai 4205FC557C30
Search for base 256 Twin Jump@@Windrake101 Ground coordinates -3.23, +98.08 (base has a red colour icon)
it does make a LOT of sense, that very low gravity worlds cant hold on to an atmosphere. you just got the physics 180° backwards.
You know what, you're right! In reverse it does make sense. I still think they could vary gravity more between planets and moons, but I now understand their decision better. Thanks for commenting!
5:20 makes total sense, less massive planets would have trouble holding onto an atmosphere. Less massive = lower gravitational pull
JUST started playing and BRO I visited a planet with star like beings that rolled and that’s pretty much all there was to it and they look exactly like the resources, game seems great so far
I found one too! one of my friends Also found a mech planet.
I found a dissonant dead world. I still regularly visit it for echo locator and inverted mirror farming.
I just started playing this game a few days ago and I’m glad I saw this video before leaving my starter system where there is a volcanic planet with an infested moon. Gonna do more exploring here!
I agree, and I think they've been very smart leaving some systems empty (and others hidden), so there's always the hope of even more variety to come. Maybe some kind of infected (rather than infested) world, where spores in the air cause longer-term damage, degrading your exosuit in a way that actually costs you to fix (via crafting medicines in a nutrient processor), rather than just being able to go indoors and it's all better? I think there's also a lot of development possible on the idea of settlements, which are currently pretty basic once you've built all the improvements. Maybe a world you can terraform to make it more hospitable?
you can terraform a patch of it with the landscaping props
@@rudestbeast4907 but how about proper terraforming, changing a harsh and inhospitable biome into a "paradise" by heating, cooling, or removing radiation or toxicity? Or if you're so inclined, making them MORE extreme? Could be a big, expensive project for players who've completed all the normal challenges, placing several terraforming units around a planet or moon.
I don't mind that each planet has one biome but with one big exception: trying to find fauna that's located North or South. I know it's supposed to get you reading the data and carefully working out your orientation but different colours for poles on those planets would really help.
Or a compass that has E, W, and tick marks for the ones in between. It's often frustrating trying to orient yourself to the right direction, especially when you see something on foot or in photo mode, but then don't have a good visual reference after porting into your starship and taking off.
One time in an old save, I remember putting a base on a planet made up of shapes, and I mean almost everything was made of shapes from the flora to the animals. There were so many weird stuff on that planet.
I really wish more planets had entirely different sentinel types, maybe some adaptations to different biomes.
I just picked this game back up after about 2 years and the planet I found my first settlement in’s weather is “Mists of Annihalation”. Don’t. Jump. Tornadoes, Fire, Lightning oh my. Thanks for sharing the cool planet types
5:00 an airless world implies its small enough that it doesn’t retain an atmosphere, or at least close enough to the sun that it doesn’t have an atmosphere. Regardless lack of an atmosphere would lead to reduction in gravity. Size of the planet isn’t the only thing that affects it, the planets atmosphere has mass as well.
You forgot to mention that there is planets in which you can grab and store materials and you can display as decoration on your freighter and base. Example the bubbles can be collected and be use as decoration.
But anywho great video by the way.
The system I started out in had 3 earth-like planets (one with red grass) and a hexagon planet. It’s amazing. My first base is on a location I actually wanna be on lol
I would love more variety of hostile flora and fauna unique to world types, especially if they swarmed you randomly or at points of interest. As is everything's too nice or easy to kill.
4:09 "Everything's on a cob! Back on the ship!"
About the honeycombs: I think they trigger some kind of reaction in the native wildlife. I remember my first landing in these honey deserts. There was this huge four-legged bug with crystals on its back. They were completely docile as I walked around. But after I destroyed one of those honeycombs, two of them beetle-things went crazy and started attacking me.
10:11
"A horrible chill goes down your spine..."
Oooh a new Kanaju video :)
What do you have in store today? Most unique planets! Cool, watching right now 😊
On the topic of airless worlds, with the signal booster I always find at least one crashed starship and scattered whispering eggs
Huh... I started my game with Volcanic planet and assumed it's very frequent one to find. I guess I was wrong.
The most "unique" planet that I've ever found was a planet whose surface had the consistency of a sponge, with about half out of water and half submerged. It was a desert biome type. This planet was in a system that was a few of long warps from the original galactic hub location. After the next universe reset, the planet was naturally gone or transformed. I haven't seen a planet like that since and I have something like 4k hours played. There were even some of those swimming surface creatures in the water.
Has anyone else found a planet whose surface is "spongy"?
Here's a brief recording showing a little of the planet: ua-cam.com/video/7hIDcstP9mA/v-deo.html. The whole surface was like what is shown in this video. The video has been private for years but I made it public for this discussion.
Actually, I came across a paradise-ish dissonant planet that has gravitation storms. Whenever the storm hits, gravity just turns off, you can literally jump out of the orbit if you have a good jetpack. Really fun place to be.
I once found a planet where everything was TV screens with static playing on them
?????
Worlds part 1 has made exploration fun again. Cant wait for part 2
the rarest planet in NMS is [dissonant infested paradised with grav anomaly storm, electronic enities, calm sents and ancient bones].. to all new players saying, i want a better game, its not gonna happen, this mundaneness in gameplay has been happen since 2016. NMS gameplay is comparable to staring into an abyss- that is not exactly a fun activity, but you feel compelled to stare deeper, before finally asking yourself, why did i stare into the abyss for.. the dupes you recieved are nothing but a glaring clutter of colored meaningless cards to shuffle or delete.
Wow. Kind of a depressing take. There is definitely some truth although I do enjoy coming back a few times a year. The game is always better when I play again.
@@pizzapie489 the game isn't for everyone I admit, it's for ppl who are content with observing ambience, finding super rare planets was I guess ok, it was a weird grind, but I'm not hyped to do it again, the planets I sought were 1 out of 500 chance.
Love your content man
It's kind of funny. When the update happened with the planetary biomes, my zero gravity planet became a corrupt planet. It was extremely unexpected lol
i visited a corrupted paradise recently, and the noises it made during a gravitational anomaly were so scary that I immediately left again after stepping out of my space ship for like 1.5 seconds D:
The low atmosphere planets are lowkey awesome ifnyou find the right one. Im doing a fresh playthrough and almost right away i found a planet that had almost no atmosphere and gravitino balls literally everywhere. So ive been farming those lile crazy. It also has aggressive sentinels, it says inescapable sentinels whem you land, but since theres no gravity its super easy to fight them.
also to give more incetives to use the exocraft there should be planets that are so dangerous that you have to be in the exocraft
Would need to bring back having hazard and life protection not deplete while in them similar to ships
I'm a little late here but I love the monochrome filter planets. I've only found around 4-5 throughout my time playing
honestly yall, infested worlds (worm variant), make me so scared for NO REASON💀😭 like...that shit got my heart racing😭😭
i like the calcishroom/hydroponic garden worlds as they are the only glitch world that almost looks like a normal paradise world full of grass and vegetation
Planet on 0:25 is the terror moon. I have recently found it, and its just horrifying to be on. First, it looks quite scary. Second, sounds. Distant echoes of screams, random screeching, crawling noises undeground. Third, fauna. It had an extinction during which bobblers (bubble looking guys) went extinct, and rocket like robots started appearing. The temperature raised from -10 to +30, and the weirdest is their production. Seriously, what would a rocket produce? Wrong, bone nuggets. And description of the planet says "from another dimension". The ringed planet nearby also exists in my universe, leading to a fact that this is a multiverse-class planet and its moon respectively. Oh, ive also been to next 2 planets long time ago.
I hope at some point they find a way to generate multiple unique biomes on a single planet. I'd love to find some frozen ice caps, with a desert or a rainforest on the equator with paradise conditions between, or something in that vein
In my system that I started in there was an infested planet, that was mostly water with random islands here and there. Since I didn't know much about the world, I kinda got scared by the whispering egg creatures
Great video on planet types great video...
The Hexagon planets remind me of the Rick and morty episode where the whole planet was "on a cob"😂
My favourite are those, that not neccessarily feature a whole new type of a biome, but have a twisted hue of sunlight - all violet, all yellow or all read (that I encountered so far).
And of those my very own number one standing are... monochromatic worlds - where I can really appreciate how poorly painted my starship :) - still, seriously, monochromatic worlds are something else :)
That second planet in the intro, the one with the floating rocks shooting energy out of them, I wish I knew where it was, its my goal to find it again after being put there during the artemis questline but being so engrossed in the planet I didn't place down any markers and the portals led me to the same glyphed planet but it was totally different not even a day later...
Sticky honey is also acquired from limbless blob-like animals that constantly hop.
okay so recently playing the new expedition, i noticed the titan worms on rendezvous planets were different, procedural like everything else I'm guessing, and in this video, THE WORM WITH THE BIG EYE??? Didn't know the differences could be so big. A video on different worms like this would be cool, I've not really seen anyone else talk about it.
I found a hexplate ball creature that follows me around like a giant soccer ball. Its awesome!
if not more then one biome per planet then i think at least especially exotic biomes should be mixed more with other biomes, like imagine a lush cabled world, or a water pillar world, or a toxic hexagonal world, or volcanic fragmented world, it would be so cool, and especially if they added more variety to the coloration of exotic fauna and flora and such that alone would make worlds feel more unique, because by far the most samey worlds are exotics, they have almost no variation other then the atmosphere, but they are still cool even with their lack of variety to me, i love cabled planets personally, but imagining that biome mixed with like an underwater one or a lush biome or something sounds so cool
I remeber when i find a dissonant AND infested planet. It was terrifying, and sorry i didn't have the coordonate because i litterally scream of fear before closing the game when a titan worm appear just right in front of me
I found a perfect dis temperate planet that has no hazard. It was actually my first warp and also my first planet I have actually explored and had a good time with :)
The biggest addition NMS needs is new enemies like humanoids and various flora and fauna that can attack.
Just remember that "need" really means "want." Those who are primarily explorers might loathe added enemies or threats. Many view the game as one primarily of exploration. Hello Games tries to balance the wants of varied types of players faith out doing profits that effectively exclude some group.
@@cyber4eyes766 You make a great point. I love the feeling of exploration myself and would hate constant interruption by spawning enemies. What I would like in the field of enemies would be something like instanced zones found in space or planetside where Pirates or a new enemy faction reside that require onfoot combat. Maybe with a goal such as "shut down A" or "defeat marker enemies". But these instances will be openly apparent so that those who don't want to engage can avoid them altogether. It is a thought :D
I came across a planet a number of years ago that was pure, black and white. When you landed on the planet, your ship became black and white. You get out and walk around and your character becomes black-and-white. The only thing that had color was these living creatures that resembled three-dimensional stars made of bone that would roll around for the locomotion, and it had a glowing core, I still have one as a pet. And I’ve also come across the water world. It only had one spot that had any kind of land that you could park your ship, and it was meager fitting lol.
My starting planet was a volcanic planet. Really took me surprise given i hadnt played in years.
the huts on the marsh worlds???? i’ve never seen those that’s so cool!!!
@@elenapeterson449 I think the hut is a player item
i think nms should add more than 1 biome per planet like if u are in the poles of the planet it would be a frozen biome, if u are in a region which have no rivers it will be a desert, etc
