No Man's Sky Frontiers update adds procedurally generated settlements, updates base building, more
Frontiers is the 17th major free update to No Man’s Sky, and it’s now available on all platforms.
In it, you will become the Overseer of your own procedurally generated alien settlement. While in this position, you will make choices, guide your citizens, develop new structures and defend your people from the Sentinels. You can also take advantage of the massive overhaul to base building to construct your own special base.
The Frontiers update has introduced populated settlements to the universe, and upon encountering these communities, you can choose to help them, “ensure their future prosperity and happiness,” and eventually develop these startup settlements into towns and even into a larger urban area.
No Man's Sky is also a sci-fi city management simulation now
No Man's Sky has gone and outdone itself again. Earlier this month, studio head Sean Murray called the Frontiers update "a missing piece of the sci-fi fantasy that we’ve always wanted to add," and I admit I didn't pick up on the hint. I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't that the Frontiers update would add huge planetary settlements, tons of new base building pieces, Sentinel settlement raids, and the ability to become arbiter and overseer of the local settlement too. No Man's Sky's update 3.6 has launched today with all that and a lot more.
