No Man’s Sky Fans Call for Mod That Would Be a Graphics Game-Changer
Some No Man’s Sky players are rallying for a new mod that could transform the game’s visual style into something entirely different.
A creative No Man’s Sky player known as Alloycat on Reddit shared a screenshot of their latest creation, a massive oil rig set in the ocean of a tropical paradise planet. The rig features a metallic structure with multiple levels and a landing pad for starships. Surrounding the base are large, cylindrical tanks and piping systems, mimicking the industrial appearance of real-world oil rigs. While some No Man’s Sky players enjoy building cozy bases on tropical islands, Alloycat opted for a massive structure that stands tall in the clear ocean, offering a striking contrast between nature and machinery.
No Man’s Sky Players Create Impressive Structures
In the comments to this Reddit post, fellow No Man’s Sky players were impressed with Alloycat’s creation. While some joked about the environmental impact of such an imposing structure, others wished No Man’s Sky added options for deep mining to make this oil rig a more useful building. Alloycat explained that the rig was built using a combination of stone walls, alloy walls, and patience. They decided to create the oil rig to celebrate Dredge’s new DLC The Iron Rig and the massive structure that players can now discover in the game’s starting area.
As No Man’s Sky continues to evolve, the community remains eager to see what new possibilities future updates will bring. Hello Games has consistently surprised players with substantial content additions, leading a curious No Man’s Sky player to compare their original home planet from 2016 to what it looks like now. While specifics about upcoming updates are still under wraps, the potential for more advanced building tools and environmental interactions is likely and should provide players with even more options to build anything they want on foreign planets.
