The only real spoiler if you're staying dark is how the game starts other than that it's the guy going around the planet mining up stuff.

That's his starting planet, we will all start somewhere unique.
I know some people want to keep themselves completely in the dark, but I personally consider a game this vast virtually unspoilable, at least from watching a few minutes (or hours :3) of streaming. I'll very likely never encounter the same content as another player, and things like "you can upgrade your mining beam" are so trivial and expected that it won't materially impact my enjoyment of the game.
But, diff'rent strokes and all that.
In case people doesn't care for Spoilers. Here's the Opening Intro and first minutes for the game

It's a survival/crafting based game, there was always going to be a lot of resource collection.SO the answer to "what do you do in NMS" is "collect resources".
Which has been known for years. Turns out everyone asking already knew the answer, but just didn't like it.SO the answer to "what do you do in NMS" is "collect resources".
I wonder if the types of required resources to repair your ship are procedurally generated based on what materials are available on your starting planet?

I wonder if the types of required resources to repair your ship are procedurally generated based on what materials are available on your starting planet? Or is the starting planet for everyone some planet that has the exact materials needed to repair your ship as in: everyone's ship needs the exact same materials to repair it and they make sure each of us starts off on a starting planet that contains those resources?
Is there any building in this game?
That's what makes me love Minecraft/Terraria/Starbound. I love exploring and collecting resources, but I love BUILDING stuff with what I find. I love having a "home" base. Just a spaceship won't cut it for me..
I'm pretty sure ship repair quest requires "basic" resources, that almost always can be found anywhere (like iron/carbon). But later gear and upgrades will require rare stuff that you will have to search for around different planets.I wonder if the types of required resources to repair your ship are procedurally generated based on what materials are available on your starting planet?

Nah man - we don't know why we're in this galaxy, we don't know how we got there, we don't know why our objective is the centre or what is there, we don't know what the sentient races are like or their backstories, we don't know other esoteric shit about lore or items
There's a near-infinite amount of stuff that can't be spoiled - but there's also a finite amount of actual key plot /lore facts which CAN definitely be spoiled
It's a shit site. It locked up on me on my phone, tablet and on my Xbox edge browser. Finally gave up trying to finish the 26min video.Why does Dailymotion make my browsers in my phone get fucked?
I just thought , will there likely be mods on pc? I am thinking the mods could be unreal for a game like this.
im leaning toward pc
Will There Be Mod Support?
Sean Murray: I think PC games should have Mods and the ability to mod. I almost feel like we need to give them the tools otherwise then they're just going to start making them, tearing apart your game. That's what I have more of a fear of. I think if they get in there and they just start disassembling it they will end up creating parallel universes; like genuinely that's what would happen. They would change the numbers and then someone else would be playing in a different universe, but still posting to our servers.
We will probably give them some tools to allow them to do some stuff. But we don't want people creating new planets within an existing game. I don't think we can stop them doing that if there's a clever enough programmer, which there always is, there are going to be weird things with the game unofficially. But officially I think we probably want to give people some modding ability just so they leave our game alone. Just give them enough creative outlet to keep them busy rather than them thinking of all of the destructive things that they could do.
I doubt there's going to be a lot of revelations about that stuff in the first few hours of the game. Plus, isn't all the faction stuff procedural as well? It won't personally bother me to know that race x is warlike and race y are traders, etc.
The center of the galaxy, I'll give you, but on that point I really doubt there will be enough people with early copies so dedicated. I could be surprised, but it should be relatively easy to avoid something that big.
But like I said, diff'rent strokes.
