10 Reasons No Man’s Sky Is Finally Worth Playing

Trudging on foot while scouring your home world for resources is no more. Hello Games’ second major update labeled The Pathfinder Update introduced us to land-based Exocrafts. The three unique crafts, labeled The Roamer, The Nomad, and The Colossus, can be constructed by building geobays at your planetary base.

The Roamer is the first Exocraft, and is considered the mid-level vehicle, providing a well rounded 4-wheeled experience. The Nomad may be lacking in size but makes up for it in speed and the ability to glide over water. The final exocraft you can construct is the Colossus: Painstakingly slow, the Colossus makes up for it’s lack of speed with an extra large cargo hold.

Extra storage space and protection from the elements are just some of the benefits these new vehicles bring to the table. Exocrafts can also be equipped with mining beams, weapons, and scanning tools. The ability to fuel up and traverse the landscape in your exocraft really lets the player explore the worlds in more detail while also aiding in two of the most monotonous aspects of the game (traveling on foot and mining resources).
