No Man’s Sky has had quite a few updates since it’s initial release back in July. The game has now been out a little over a month and development and improvements for the game aren’t stopping. Developer Hello Games announced today via a development update just what’s in store for the game in regards to future content. The update also details various bug fixes and changes made in patch 1.58 which is available now. Here is a look at some new content available today and more coming in the later weeks.

Community Event

Beginning today, Specialist Polo and Priest Entity Nada will contact players who’ve completed the first anomaly quest to take part in the very first community event. The pair is looking for various players to come together to explore and document various galaxies. The first chapter will lead players to a corner of the galaxy where objects can be found spawning underground. Players will be required to excavate the objects and return them to the space anomaly. Doing so will reward them with Quicksilver which can then be used at a shop run by a robot built by polo, for various collectibles that are exotic in rarity.

Presently, the robot vendor has an array of different content available including different building parts, various decals, one new emote, and one new item for character customization. Though, the inventory will increase vastly over the coming weeks with additional items based around the categories already listed, along with exocrafts and more. Players can expect more than 50 items to be added.

The Galactic Atlas

Last month, Hello Games launched a new site called the Galactic Atlas. This site’s main purpose was to map out the galaxy of No Man’s Sky as designated by players through a survey in which the developer created. Based on feedback, the site is now growing in both size and functionality. A few of the more interesting additions include regional hubs that were submitted by players which include portal addresses for those wishing to visit, an indicator of where the very first community research mission is located, and names of the current leaders in each hub. All this and more can be found at the Galactic Atlus Main site.

Bug Fixes and Changes

  • User permissions for multiplayer have been added. These options can be changed to allow anyone, friends, or no-one certain permissions in a multiplayer lobby. Options such as damaging players, editing bases, and even visibility can all be customized.

  • Planetary NPCs now offer archaeology missions.

  • Incorrect information displayed when viewing players ships or sentinel drones through the analysis visor have both been fixed.
