No Man’s Sky Endurance Update Patch Notes
Freighter Overhaul
- Freighter bases have been completely reinvented, with a huge array of new parts and themed rooms allowing players to quickly assemble a visually varied and distinctive home in the stars. These pre-decorated rooms can be further customized, or players can use empty room variants and take total control over decoration.
Dynamic Crew
- Freighters now bustle with specialist crew members walking around your base. Engineers, biologists, and technicians display their thoughts as they patrol the base, and your hired frigate captains and squadron pilots visit your capital ship between their deep-space excursions.
Agricultural Modules
- Construct expansive freighter farms with specialized cultivation chambers. Plant and grow rows of crops, then harvest all nearby crops with a single interaction.
Black Holes
- Traversing space via black hole is more cinematic than ever, with stunning new visual effects.
Exterior Freighter Building
- Freighter bases can now be extended beyond the hull, with observation decks and catwalks providing a direct view of the vastness of space.
Base Building Quality of Life
- Visual variants of base parts can now be placed manually, overriding their automatic contextual placement.
Freighter Variety
- Freighter exteriors have been visually upgraded, with enhanced textures, improved colors, and high-detail surface decoration.
Organic Frigates
- Players may now encounter organic frigates as they explore deep space. Build your own fleet of these majestic beings, but be prepared for anomalous results when deploying them on fleet missions.
Doors and Windows
- Players may now construct external doors and windows in their capital ship, allowing spectacular views of the stars.
Polestar Expedition
- Embark on an interstellar cruise in the Polestar expedition. Repair the freighter’s unique technology, uncover its mysterious past and journey across the galaxy at its helm.
- Players who have entirely completed the voyage may now end the expedition early and convert the save to normal mode ahead of the expedition deadline.
Enhanced Nebulae
- Encounter stunning interstellar gas clouds up close for an even more dramatic experience of the beauty of space.
Inhabited Hangar
- Freighter hangars have been redecorated, introducing windows, new machinery, and alien crew into this vast space.
Living Ship Upgrades
- Send organic frigates out on expeditions to retrieve upgrades for their starship cousins. Hatch psychonic eggs into sentient technology or graft parasites onto your living vessel to create additional storage capacity.
Derelict Freighter Atmospherics
- Combat and ambient visual effects on derelicts have been reworked, making these capital ship carcasses spookier than ever.
Stellar Extractors
- The stellar extractor is a new piece of integrated freighter technology. It automatically harvests resources from deep space based on the system star classification.
New Asteroids
- Asteroid fields are less uniformly spread, now appearing in dense clusters, and feature a wider variety of asteroid shapes, sizes, and colors.
- The Starship Scanner can now locate asteroids rich in fuel resources in the event of an adverse fuel situation while outside of an asteroid field.
Freighter Technology Modules
- Existing technology for the freighter – including the Teleporter, Fleet Command, and Appearance Modifier – has been tastefully integrated into sleek, extendable glass-floored rooms.
Third-Person Freighter Warp
- Engaging the freighter warp drive to travel between systems shows the freighter in the warp tunnel.
Sentinel Pillar Multiplayer Mission
- A new class of multiplayer missions is now available from the Nexus. The Space Anomaly has issued a request for crews of intrepid Travellers: investigate the heavily-guarded Sentinel Pillars, and steal the data within!
A Cosmic Voyage
- Assemble the potent Dream Aerial and embark on a new mission alongside the organic frigates swimming through the ocean of deep space. The creature’s song will transport you along a strange and surreal journey, forever bonding Traveller and beast.
