I'm not too fond of them deleting my outpost trailer park planet and replacing it with an actual desert planet.

Creative mode sure makes it easy to mess with other people's planets. Press right on the warp menu to select the nearest discovered galaxy, then warp. Too far? Set a way point and make intermediate hops and you're in the Pink Floyd galaxy.

E: Even better, since a lot of planets were redone with the update there are plenty of planets ready for discovery.

Warping long distances to see what other people named their planets is kinda fun.

That's what creative mode is for.

Creative mode is for easily warping and renaming other people's planets after the foundation update deleted them.

Steam Workshop integration for online base sharing.

So still no real online mode. Just essentially a mod you have to search for.

Started a new game and I dunno if they tweaked the proc gen since launch but my planet looks fantastic and varied and full of little details. The creatures are still a bit naff but it also looks fantastic with the new ultra textures at 4k, 60fps

The 1.1 foundation update a couple months back reset the solar system and a number of planets no longer exist. Using creative mode's unlimited warping, I've found a bunch of launch solar systems named by other players where all the listed planets aren't there.

Well that update pretty much ruined the solar system I had setup for my base. I like this one though. The Stargates just give some weird corrupted log thing but don't activate.

When in creative mode I usually can find a couple within a single warp distance. If you're on a previously discovered system, the game will most likely plot the same path as the other players that found said system leading to more encounters.

You'd think they'd add customizable ship interiors that serve a similar purpose, or even the space equivalent to a 5th wheeler

The freighters have a custom room and even have hyper drive. You just have to pick one that looks cool

There's already a number of websites and youtube videos with portals nearest to the center of the first galaxy. If players can grief one another, that two hour trip by land vehicle to the habitable base will get a lot more interesting.

There's already "Factions" out there if you check the NMS wiki or reddit. It's really more a bunch of people all arrange to meet (made easier with the portals) and claim a segment of a universe.

Remember the build on the Xbox One disks is going to be a couple months old for the purposes of the publisher getting the disks manufactured, so there could still be some surprises when the game launches.

My PS4 actually gave me a notification about the update, though it says the event starts 11am eastern so it might not go live until then.

Geks are space frogs so they probably just have cloacas.

Considering they refer to their ancient empire as "The First Spawn" and how The Korvax genetically mutated them inside hatching fields that's probably not far off.

There's the official word on Multiplayer. So for now just a group experience and factions will still be reliant on a subreddit or discord.
