Don't go exploring on foot - your shiny new vehicles await!

<span class="bold">No Man's Sky</span>, the open-space exploration game where you adventure across an infinite universe, is getting its second massive chunk of free content, called The Path Finder Update.

Building upon the previous Foundation Update, Path Finder is the largest content pack to date, bringing numerous improvements and additions. Chief among them is, of course, the option to traverse the land on a vehicle that you can summon anytime upon your home planet! But there's a lot of other cool stuff here, namely:

- Planetary Vehicles: Build up to 3 of these aforementioned crafts at your base.
- Vehicle Upgrades: Pimp your ride with extra acceleration, traction, a scanner for points of interest, or deadly weapons.
- Improved Visuals: High-res textures, improved visuals and 4K rendering on supported hardware.
- Permadeath Mode: Challenge yourself to reach the center without dying!
- Exocraft Races: Construct, race and share tracks to test vehicles to their limits.
- Dozens of new upgrades for weapons and tech.

That's not all, though! There are gameplay improvements, rebalanced difficulty, a photo mode to help capture all the surrounding beauty, base improvements, and much more waiting for you inside this Path Finder Update. To find out more, watch the neat trailer below or head over <span class="bold">this way</span>.

Let's pop this in the forum.
Great.
One of my favorite parts of my favorite Mass Effect game (1) is the planet exploration with a vehicle and on foot. I am glad this has now came to NMS.

One thing I am confused about is the whole creating a base though. I mean...if you keep traveling towards the center, what's the point of creating a base anywhere on a planet? But, that's just me. It's good to have options.
OK, so what do you do in a game like this?

You have a portal on each spacestation which you can use to travel to your base. Then you can use it to return back.
pff... still no normal name possible.
Does this game have side missions?
Hmmm if this was the regular price and then it went 40% off, it would be really tempting.

I don't get Hello Games. Why are they adding brand new features nobody asked for instead of the missing features from all the previews (interesting wildlife interactions, massive space battles between rival factions, something worth finding at the center, etc.)

But at least you get to live out your Star Trek: Nemesis fantasies with your very own dune buggy now!
high rated
Well, with all the disappointment surrounding this game and considering the high base price - and the unwillingness of the developers to provide the promised features - I'll probably get this game (as a nice looking screensaver) once it is at a 99% discount. But not earlier.
Is this THE Thursday release?

Its not a story/mission based game. Its a galactic safari/exploration/sandbox. Do what you want.

Just make sure to buy it with an account name you can stand as name for your explorer if you care about such things.
EDIT : The link has been added after my post.

There is a very comprehensive changelog on the official site :

http://no-mans-sky.com/pathfinder-update/

Dunno why gog didn't give the link.

The game slowly gets almost interesting to me. It's far from the adverts still, but much better than release.

One or two updates like this, and I will take a serious look at it.

Yeah, until it provides what it promised to all my friends who bought it, i won't buy it. Even then, the price is a bit steep for lost hype. Even with this discount, it's hardly worth buying when there are better alternatives like Parkan 1 and 2, which are different than NMS, are much closer to the NMS advertisements than NMS is.
