VISIONS: INTRODUCING UPDATE 1.75
Discover a more varied, more diverse universe in the Visions update. Introducing new planetary biomes, more colourful worlds, new fauna and flora, archaeology, salvaging, and much more…
NEW PLANETARY BIOMES
New anomalous planet biomes create a weirder, more diverse universe to explore.
NEW CREATURES
Bizarre creatures have evolved on anomalous planets, bringing new life and movement to these eerie landscapes.
LUSH DIVERSITY
The universe has become more alien, vibrant and exciting to explore. New shades of sky and grass enable more unique worlds and a more diverse set of science fiction aesthetics.
WATER VARIATION
New types of water create stranger worlds to be discovered both above and below the surface.
ATMOSPHERIC TYPES AND RAINBOWS
Atmospherics and skies have been improved and stormy weather conditions can now produce rainbows in planetary atmospheres.
EXOTIC TROPHIES
Exotic planets can be searched to discover mysterious artifacts which can be claimed as trophies. These otherworldly objects can be rehoused in habitable bases to create a showcase of your voyages across the universe.
ARCHEOLOGY
With more varied planets come more reasons to explore. Unleash your inner archeologist and search the galaxy for planets containing the ancient bones of alien lifeforms. Complete, intact skeletons are particularly rare and especially valuable.
SALVAGEABLE SCRAP
Unearth the long-forgotten remains of fallen satellites and scrap them for salvagable parts. Explorers must use their multitool to dismantle the reinforced casing and extract the valuable technology within… but risk drawing the attention of new, challenging, corrupted sentinel drones.
STORM CRYSTALS
Those who endure the hazardous storms that blast extreme planets can seek out precious new crystal treasures. These spectacular natural formations become luminescent during the worst weather, and can be collected by intrepid explorers to be traded for a small fortune.
VARIED HAZARDOUS FLORA
New varieties of hazardous flora can now be found sprouting across the galaxies, ready to snare the unwary and reward the cautious. Carnivorous trap plants and bloated gas flora can be eliminated from afar, or carefully approached for extra substance rewards.
SENTIENT MINERALS
Certain planets now feature strange alien rock creatures who will attempt to flee the heat of a mining laser. Mine these runaway minerals to extract concentrated resource rewards.
SHARED COMMUNITY MISSION PROGRESS
A new Community Research mission allows explorers to share progress and work towards a common goal.
Discover the Visions universe together to unlock the new Eye of the Korvax helmet…
…as well as well as new emotes, building parts and a range of fireworks to celebrate any occasion.
CRASHED FREIGHTER VARIATIONS
Crashed freighters are now procedurally generated, with dozens of possible configurations. Explore different crash site layouts and carve a path with your multitool to retrieve the valuable cargo buried nearby.
