MODERATORS
One of the biggest improvements in my opinion has just been to the planet and creature generation. A lot less jank than there was before and they have added a ton of atmospheric effects, environment detail and variety, biome variety etc. so yeah there has been a lot of stuff added to satiate the need to grind for ever more bits and bobs the exploration is also exponentially more interesting too. Overall I think it's rather impressive what the game has become.
True, although personally I still think that there are way too few creature/body types so the creatures get kinda samey after a while. That and the ecology of planets making no damn sense, but that is just a personal pet peeve of mine caused by the technical limitations of the game more than anything.
The changes to planet generation were really cool though. Walking over a hill and discovering a giant mountain range/ocean/forest/ruins from an ancient civilization/random npc outpost, seeing something that probably no one else playing the game has seen before... that's a very unique thing this game does that you can't really find anywhere else.
Whaaaaat? You mean you don't miss when you could be looking at an empty patch of land, turn around, then turn back and suddenly there's this tight huddle of a variety of creatures?
