Path Finder Update в No Man; s Sky

Path Finder Update в No Man’s Sky

Первое, чего ждали и ждут от игры — он-лайн. И тут я вас, к сожалению, огорчу, т.к. его всё ещё не завезли. Зато разработчики добавили возможность загружать свои базы в мастерскую Стим. И другие игроки, как и вы, смогут посещать чужие базы. Пусть и без прямого контакта.

На самих базах, кстати, тоже произошли некоторые изменения. Теперь на них появилось два новых NPC. Первый может продать вам чертежи новых особых предметов, как декоративных, так и полезных. Второй же, куда более интересен. Это механик, который поможет вам строить наземную технику. Первый NPC появится на базе сам, а вот техника нужно будет нанять на космической базе, так же, как и других NPC. Как это сделать — описано в гайде про базы.

The No Man’s Sky Pathfinder Update from Hello Games.

No Man’s Sky time trials have been added

Other big changes in the new No Man’s Sky update includes:

• A new Permadeath mode has been added, offering the greatest challenge yet. The consequences of death will be absolute.
• The difficulty level of Permadeath mode mirrors Survival mode

• Find the perfect angle for your shot in free camera mode, revealing your Starship in third person
• Pause and change the time of day for the perfect lighting conditions
• Change cloud layers and fog density to take the most atmospheric shots possible
• New photo filters can be used to add ta finishing touch

QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS

NEW WEAPON MODES

• Both Multi-tool and ship weaponry can be upgraded for improved combat effectiveness

Three new weapons can be installed into Multi-tools alongside the existing Boltcaster weapon. Each weapon provides a unique combat style:

• The Scatter Blaster is most effective in close range encounters, able to damage multiple foes at once
• The Pulse Spitter is ideal for mid-range skirmishes, particularly against fast moving opponents
• The Blaze Javelin is a long range weapon, capable of eliminating enemies from afar

New ship weaponry offers advanced tactical opportunities:

• The Cyclotron Ballista fires a concentrated ball of charged particles at forward targets, causing heavy damage
• The Positron Ejector shoots in a wide cone of destruction
• The Infra-Knife Accelerator releases a sustained burst of rapid fire

• Blueprint stock will refresh periodically, so check back from time to time to see if any new or rare blueprints have become available.
• Traders aboard space stations will exchange Nanite Clusters for your choice of blueprints
• Your standing with the three NPC factions is now more important, as traders will only sell the best technology to their closest allies
• Your standing with a faction can be improved by offering relics and curiosities to their representatives, or through conversation choices
• Seek out Vy’keen traders for Multi-tool technology, Gek for ship upgrades and the Korvax for Exosuit improvement blueprints
• A new building trader will now visit your home base, and will sell new base constructs in exchange for credits

No Man’s Sky Path Finder update too enormous and rad to detail in a headline

By Brenna Hillier, Thursday, 9 March 2017 00:35 GMT

No Man’s Sky has a stack of new content and some fantastic new features. You may believe again.

No Man’s Sky copped a lot of flack at release for not being whatever the heck we’d imagined it to be, based on slim clues and some pretty misleading comments from Hello Games.

It seems clear now that whatever Hello Games was aiming for with No Man’s Sky it wasn’t even partway there at release, because first the Foundation update and now this new Path Finder one have made tremendously good changes which expand the game considerably.

The Path Finder update is out today on PC and PS4 and adds a stack of stuff to No Man’s Sky. I strongly encourage you to check out the video above and visit the No Man’s Sky website for all the details, because there’s a heck of a lot to unpack, but let’s go over some features below.

Exocraft

Yes, No Man’s Sky now has buggies, or ground vehicles – but it turns out there’s three of them, suitable for different purposes. Unlock exocraft as part of the base building mission chain, and then customise them at will. Zipping across the landscape and carrying huge amounts of resources looks a lot less frustrating now, and the exocraft can even scan huge areas for points of interest. Additionally, you can build race tracks for exocraft.

Bases are shared online

No Man’s Sky is finally starting to live up to multiplayer promises, as you can now find and visit other player’s bases. You can leave little messages for your visitors (guiding them to your race track, perhaps). Steam Workshop integration means PC players can more easily share their work with others.

New difficulty options

A brand new Permadeath mode has been added to No Man’s Sky, which adds a one life limit to Survival mode. Survival mode itself has been made tougher, as damaged ships will now crash land on planets. New trophies have been added to these modes to celebrate those who make it to the centre. Normal difficulty has been adjusted, too.

Graphics update, PS4 Pro support and Photo Mode

For those attracted to No man’s Sky by the lure of beautiful worlds: good news. A bunch of new high-resolution textures have been added, as well as better lighting and ambient occlusion. HDR mode has been enabled, and PS4 Pro support means those with the newer hardware will enjoy even better graphics than the rest of us. A new Photo Mode will make it easier to capture this beauty, allowing you to alter the time of day and weather, unlock the camera and use filters, too. You can see a great collection of Photo Mode images on Dead End Thrills.

Specialisation and changes to ships

Hello Games has diversified No Man’s Sky’s arsenal of ships and weapons to favour a particular specialisation. This allows you to specialise for your preferred role, but you can also purchase multiple ships to store in a freighter, allowing you to switch between roles with ease. Ships will also be rated C, B, A or S, in ascending order of quality, and when you buy a new ship you can trade in your old one to save a few credits. There are several new weapon types available too.

New traders

Look for new traders at space stations, who deal in a new currency called Nanite Clusters. New blueprints have been added and trader blueprint stock will be refreshed periodically, making repeat visits worthwhile. You’ll need high standing with a race to purchase the best blueprints. Additionally, a new trader will turn up at your bases to sell you building constructs.

New base building content

Hello Games has more than doubled No Man’s Sky’s base-building customisation options. There are 40 new parts, a range of new colours and materials, as well as new decals and furniture finishes.

On top of all that, No Man’s Sky now has a better Discovery Menu to guide you through the game, a stack of new music, and loads of quality of life improvements.

It really is an enormous update which should significantly change how No Man’s Sky is played, so do check out the other resources for all the details.
