i'm guessing it's current form it's about as limited as the ghosts of players in dark souls but with added voip ie no cross interaction between world instances (you aint going to building a base together) and i bet it's only on planet surfaces. not while travelling through space. so basically a glorified chat room. theres a reason its called shared exploration and not co-op.... but its a step in the right direction which i honestly never thought we'd get at all.

Think that would be way too hard to do technically. They are planet-sized.
Phew, thanks for reigning it all in Captain Fun Police!
Due to the amount of changes in base game, I imagine mods will be broken for now.
When 1.1 and 1.2 came out, they broke most of the mods. 1.3 changes, uhm, THINGS.

They overhauled the inventory too:

Then you got lucky - my first few hours in the game gave me almost identical planets- kinda soiled the moment for me. I love the concept but perhaps i was expecting wider variety at the time.
This was a year ago - i will def pick it up again for this update.
the update looks great, i can't wait to test out all the changes.
a month ago i started a new game but the game still had many issues so i stopped playing after a few hours, now this update seems to address many of the issues that where still bugging me.
great job on keeping the game updated and never giving up on the original dream!

Of course - modders will probably be back up to speed quickly, though.

Oh wow, looks like they actually separated the tech slots from the inventory slots, so I'm assuming the amount of tech you have installed doesn't automatically decrease your cargo carrying capacity, sounds great.

I always thought this looked like a perfect music/podcast listening game
i think it's more the case you got unlucky. 80 hours and the only planets that looked the same were the burnt grey rock planets that had no no flora/fauna. but every other planet i landed on looked different. i certainly never landed on a planet and 5 minutes later landed on one that was the same. maybe you were just returning to the first planet by accident? lol

Yeah, pretty huge update actually

Has no one else noticed the joke in the patch notes? This isn't 1.3...it's 1.29! 1.3 is bug fixes!

Hyperbole at its finest.
I can only think of one thing missing... sandworms. That's it. Do you have a more comprehensive list that the rest of us don't know about?
This update literally says that they're adding new biomes and planet types you'll see as you explore.

They finally made the game the way it was originally advertised.
And added even more.
I am happy with Hello Games and I can't wait to play the new update!

Well I know what I'll be playing this weekend.
Sounds like the best time to get back into it.

stop quoting jobbs lol
Those orbits are interesting... but why would the player be on the star? lol
Yeah we've discussed it a little, so far the only things we can note that are missing from pre-release hype are:
- can't see other player's bodies (so we don't know what the player should look like)
- planets still don't orbit/rotate (which is super minor, barely impacts gameplay, and they said it was confusing in early patch notes - even though planets seemingly never rotated)
- sandworms

planets definitely orbit on the map at least

What does that even mean?
or monotonous core gameplay loop[/QUOTE]
Um. This update literally adds a quest system to incentivise exploration and challenges
Exclusively positive reactions on Sean Murrays twitter about this. Totally different from what it was a year ago.
This was probably a really tough year for all the people at Hello Games but in the end they turned the game around, closer to what was their original vision and redeemed themselves.
And people said they would just take the money and run.

My entire home world has changed, and I've lost my exocraft, and all my overseers!!
ring planets?
the thing i want that was originally shown is ecosystems. i want to see creatures have heard mentality. i want to see them go to waterholes to drink. be attacked by predators and see them feeding. it's the big one to add, but i don't think we'll ever get it.
Quoting again for if someone can reply these
No idea as I'm not on PS4, but I plan on restarting anyway.

So the addition of new biomes...Does that mean new wildlife/enemies/creatures/whatever? I'm excited to finally try this game tonight!

Cliff notes?
What was the thing you saw?

It sounds like you wouldn't need to start again for new biomes (my guess, as my game hasn't finished downloading yet). Since the whole universe is procedurally generated and if they change the formula then it will change the universe. Planets you've been to might look different etc.
If your save is from vanilla you can load it up and play with all the good new things. But I advise anyone in that position to start again from the start. So much has changed with the other updates as well. The whole economy and how you upgrade etc is quite different. It'd be a cool fresh experience to start again rather than already have a ton of cool stuff/ships unlocked from vanilla. Up to you though. I started again on the 1.2 update and it was a lot of fun.
