Enhancements within No Man’s Sky allow players to augment their exosuit, starship, multi-tool, and base structures. These modifications provide various advantages, such as increased inventory capacity, improved combat capabilities, faster travel speeds, and enhanced resource gathering efficiency. An example would be installing an “S-Class Hyperdrive Module” on a starship to significantly extend its warp jump range.
The implementation of improvements is integral to player progression and exploration within the game. They provide the means to overcome environmental hazards, engage in more challenging encounters, and ultimately, to reach more distant and valuable locations in the galaxy. Historically, the introduction and evolution of modification systems have been a key component of No Man’s Sky’s post-launch development, continually refining the player experience and fostering long-term engagement.
