Key Takeaways

  • A No Man’s Sky player has recently spent 70 hours building a majestic cyberpunk city.
  • They had to get creative with many of its elements, like making backlit windows using upscaled server blocks.

As a seasoned No Man’s Sky player with over a thousand hours under my belt, I can confidently say that the latest cyberpunk city masterpiece by Th4_G0dF4Th3R_82 has left me utterly astounded. This labor of love, painstakingly crafted over 70 hours, is a testament to the limitless creativity and dedication within our vibrant community.

A player of the game “No Man’s Sky” has recently put in 70 hours constructing an enormous cyberpunk metropolis within the game. The culmination of their diligent work then spread across social media, further augmenting the catalog of remarkable structures that the “No Man’s Sky” community has produced so far.

8 years ago on November 27th, the Foundation Update for the science fiction survival game, No Man’s Sky, was released, introducing base building. Since then, players of No Man’s Sky have been constructing progressively more awe-inspiring bases.

More recently, Reddit user Th4_G0dF4Th3R_82 has showcased some breathtaking images of a No Man’s Sky base resembling a captivating cyberpunk metropolis. The layout displays impressive care in design, as the city is intelligently separated into residential, commercial, industrial, and multi-use sectors. Each area boasts its own color scheme and architectural idiosyncrasies, harmoniously blending together through the dominance of towering, imposing structures.

Speaking further about their accomplishment, Th4_G0dF4Th3R_82 disclosed that they had to think outside the box when it came to certain elements of the base, in order to bring their vision to life. For example, while the pool of building parts for No Man’s Sky does not feature windows with lights, the player found a way around this limitation by using “massively scaled up” Server Blocks, types A and B. As for materials, the player predominantly used alloy, but also included some concrete and metal legacy components in the city to add visual contrast. The creator shared that their primary motivation was to introduce diversity, as they explained.

Th4_G0dF4Th3R_82 utilized a cache pin glitch to construct and place No Man’s Sky Freighter parts on the ground. Their images of a cyberpunk city gathered hundreds of upvotes and quickly landed on the main page of r/NoMansSkyTheGame subreddit in late November 2024, leaving many other fans impressed. Th4_G0dF4Th3R_82 disclosed that they have invested 70 hours into this project thus far but are not yet done. They assured followers that they will continue to share updates as their work advances. Unfortunately, due to exceeding the 3,000-part limit, it is impossible for others to access and explore this cyberpunk city.

No Man’s Sky Is Still Enjoying a Healthy Player Community

The enduring popularity of No Man’s Sky, first released in 2016, is once again demonstrated by its ability to retain many players. The resurgence of Hello Games, following the rocky launch of this game, was recently highlighted when No Man’s Sky received “Very Positive” reviews on Steam in late November 2024. Despite the developer already working on their next project, Light No Fire, they continue to update No Man’s Sky regularly with new patches.
