Summary
More than eight years later,No Man’s Skyhas retained a bustling player count, with tens of thousands exploring the universe every day.
While every player has their own reasons for jumping in, the crafting scene in No Man’s Sky has evolved drastically over the last few years withamazing base builds,island-sized greenhouses,working racetracks, and evenCyberpunk-esque citiescropping up recently.
The latest build, sharedon Reddit, may just be the best of all, with a group of players teaming up to build a huge underground city that gives off strong “Underdark vibes.”
“I’m Getting Blackreach Vibes All The Way From Skyrim”
The ‘village’ shared by Reddit userTbags005was built in collaboration with Shinbajo and Nerozii and clocks in at around 8,000 pieces.
In a seven-minute video, Tbags walks around the entirety of the village, showing off boujee tents, clifftop buildings, and a bustling downtown area. The vibe is punctuated by a range of glowing plants and mushrooms, and it doesn’t look and feel too dissimilar to the Myconid Village in Baldur’s Gate 3, except maybe a little more advanced.
Within 24 hours, the post featuring the video had received over 4,500 upvotes, 150 comments, and four Reddit awards, with many players commending it for being “one of the most impressive builds I have ever seen.”
Unfortunately, with No Man’s Sky capped at 3,000 pieces for solo visitors, the underground cavern can only be visited when Tbags is there. While they’ve said they’re considering tours, they’ve not confirmed any dates or times.
No Man’s Sky players are currently undergoing a veritable feast. In July,Hello Gamesreleased theWorlds Part 1 update, which changed water and cloud physics, as well as added sky islands, and in September,the game received fishing. But Sean Murray and co don’t seem like they’re slowing down, with the company CEO potentially teasingthe game’s third update in as many months.

WHERE TO PLAY
Lose yourself in a vast sci-fi odyssey as you explore a near-infinite, procedurally generated universe.
Set out from the edge of the Euclid galaxy and carve out your own interstellar existence in a vast universe teeming with life, danger and near-endless mystery.
No Man’s Sky is a hugely-ambitious, heavily-stylised, sci-fi adventure that spans entire galaxies all brought to life with procedural generation. Travel through an endless array of increasingly diverse and dangerous star systems, prospecting for rare materials, trading with alien life, populate planets and searching for clues to the meaning of the universe’s mysterious existence.
How you survive is up to you. Assemble entire fleets of dreadnought-class freighters and tear across the universe; build sprawling habitable bases across planet surfaces, beneath the ground or under the ocean; buy and upgrade your own weapons and star ships and do battle with outlaw space pirates, hostile alien fauna or the mysterious sentinel fleets.
The universe is yours to explore - trillions upon trillions of planets, waiting to be discovered.
