Hello Games has released a new update to No Man’s Sky today. This new update is mainly for bug fixes to improve the overall gameplay experience.
The patch should be out already on all platforms. You can read the full patch notes below from the official No Man’s Sky website.
Bug fixes
- Players upgrading their save to Waypoint are now awarded additional free technology slots (this fix will also apply to players who have already upgraded their save to Waypoint).
- A new difficulty setting has been added which allows players to lock themselves out of any further difficulty settings changes. Once enabled, this action is permanent.
- The photon cannon can now be deleted from the ship inventory, providing at least one other weapon is installed.
- The strength of starship specialisation bonuses have been increased, so that higher-grade ships receive greater inherent bonuses to their stats. This scales steeply with both class and ship specialisation, so that eg the Explorer class ships will have significantly further warp ranges.
- As well as damage, shield and warp bonuses, starships now also have an inherent agility-based stat, which benefits all maneuverability upgrades in the same way as the other specialisation stats affect their relevant upgrades.
- Stat bonuses on procedural jetpack upgrades have been increased.
- Stat bonuses on procedural hazard protection upgrades have been increased.
- Stat bonuses on procedural pulse engine upgrades have been increased.
- Stat bonuses on procedural hyperdrive upgrades have been increased.
