You must start the game on a fresh save, with the patch, as early choices have significant impact on what you see later in the game, and the overall experience.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Universe<\/strong> \u2013 we changed the rules of the universe generation algorithm. Planets have moved. Environments have changed biomes. Galaxies have altered shape. All to create greater variety earlier. Galaxies are now up to 10x larger.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Planets<\/strong> \u2013 we\u2019ve added dead moons, low atmosphere and extreme hazardous planets. Extreme hazards include blizzards and dust storms.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ship diversity<\/strong> \u2013 a wider variety of ships appear per star system, and are available to purchase. Cargo and installed technology now vary more, and ships have more unique attributes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inventory<\/strong> \u2013 ship inventories now store 5 times more resources per slot. Suit inventories now store 2.5 times more per slot. This encourages exploration and gives freedom from the beginning.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trading<\/strong> \u2013 trading is deeper. Star systems and planets each have their own wants and needs, based off a galactic economy. Observing these is the key to successful trading.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Balancing<\/strong> \u2013 several hundred upgrades have had stat changes (mainly exo-suit and ship, but also weapon), new upgrades have been added.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exploits<\/strong> \u2013 infinite warp cell exploit and rare goods trading exploit among other removed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Writing<\/strong> \u2013 The Atlas path has been rewritten by James Swallow (writer on Deus Ex) and Sean Murray.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The development team is continuing to work on upcoming features, such as base building and improved graphics.<\/p>\n<p>More details on No Man&#8217;s Sky&#8217;s Day One update are available <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.no-mans-sky.com\/2016\/08\/update-1-03\/\">here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>No Man&#8217;s Sky will be available on <strong>9 August<\/strong> for PS4, and <strong>12 August<\/strong> for PC.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More gaming news<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to Nvidia Titan X Pascal versus Titan X \u2013 4K performance comparison\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/pc\/100545-nvidia-titan-x-pascal-versus-titan-x-4k-performance-comparison.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">Nvidia Titan X Pascal versus Titan X \u2013 4K performance comparison<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to This is what happens when you get a perfect score in Pac-Man\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/entertainment\/99484-this-is-what-happens-when-you-get-a-perfect-score-in-pac-man.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">This is what happens when you get a perfect score in Pac-Man<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to The best MMOs you can download on your console\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/pc\/98984-the-best-mmos-you-can-download-on-your-console.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">The best MMOs you can download on your console<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello Games has released the details of the No Man&#8217;s Sky Day One update.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":232,"featured_media":100387,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,11681],"tags":[21066,31,16070,2072,21064,11828,1890,20328,2789,421,435],"class_list":["post-100712","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pc","category-playstation","tag-21066","tag-active","tag-changelog","tag-changes","tag-day","tag-no-mans-sky","tag-notes","tag-one","tag-overhaul","tag-patch","tag-update"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100712","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/232"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=100712"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100712\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":100714,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100712\/revisions\/100714"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/100387"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=100712"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=100712"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=100712"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
