An excellent view Beebs, I have only been playing since January, Id hate to see builds lost, there are some truly epic ones out there, if they do a reset maybe they could implement a facility to enable some builds to be bought over, if requested, but if it means the game is improved immensely, im sure a rebuild could be fun, and possibly better than before. Though im not sure the Polar Express can be improved 😜

This is a wholly encouraging message. I've been vocal about my distaste for a certain recent update, and your words center me in a way that others could not. Thank you Beebz.

Sean Murray needs to see this video. This is such an excellently executed video buddy. I agree with your opinions and side for a full reset, but I don't think it's coming. I believe this apparent "Void" universe will be in place so our current iteration can remain in-tact while the Void universe will completely fresh with far more diversity and uniqueness to it. This is what I feel HG have done to please all play styles of NMS.

Your super right bro. I was super mad that I lose my base 2 times. But I didn't think about them needing to fix and add new stuff. You changed my mind. Thanks bro. 😊 I really loved playing this game.

I saw you, Beeblebum, on the Xbox Gamescom live stream of Jason Plays. Frankly, I don't care if there is a galaxy reset, and I lose all my bases and whatnot. Others obviously will care, but if it's a massive and very awesome update, then that is a sacrifice the community might have to make. In all honesty, I would like a reset, because I'd have a better time exploring things I don't even know about. In other words, I want to feel lost in a universe that bewilders me, because No Man's Sky is about mystery and the unknown... and how to conquer it.

Good video buddy. If they can create ways to restore a saved or fav base perhaps then there will be a reset.

If a reset happens, we will rebuild, rediscover and explore the new worlds changed or implimented. I for one believe many bugs can be repaired by issuing a total reset. As a community, we will survive and give us new growth in this amazing game. The Café and I for one am ok with it.

You nailed my sentiments exactly. Keep it up Beeble, Great vids.

Me: I put 300 hours into NMS! Sean Murray: Deleted. Me: DX

Your end points is right on point. :) It's about the journey.

This is why I hope the void makes an appearance as that system would allow hello games free reign instead of tinkering with existing galaxy's

Fantastic and well made opinion video. I was surprised to hear that a master builder as yourself was ready to lose it all in order for all of us to gain. Thank you.

My thoughts exactly! Sean compared ORIGINS to FOUNDATION, ”start of something new”. So if FRONTIERS were to be something of a NEXT sized evolution to exploration then this could (and should?!) be the case! 🚀🤯❤️🔥

I for one wouldn’t mind if HG did a reset but.. we’ll just have to see huh?? Lol. Top quality video Beebz, loved the breakdown of all the updates. Didn’t realize the size of the list was so big. HG is on a roll!

I've been working on one base now for months, but if a reset brought significant changes to building (as one example) then i'd be ok with losing that base and starting over. I'd also echo Beeb's comments about the journey. This is an amazing community, and whatever comes i'm looking forward to experiencing it with all of you.

Im new to this No man Sky Game my cousins tried getting me into it when it 1st came out and I only played it for about an hour fast track to now 7 years later im indelved in this game and see how much true potential this game has, I understand the part on the building aspect and the building community and the community as a whole when it comes too losing things as I've had that same experiences on other games lol. But this games can be truly limitless if they put more work into the game and implement new things to fully immerse this experience for everyone to enjoy I love seeing people build massive cities and sharing it with the community to feel even more immerse in this sand box game if the community works with the devs i think all overhauls changes to the game will be something amazing to see and journey together with even more players delving in to something like no man sky when it starts making its name more known to all players.

lots of good points, thanks for the update

YES THAT GOES FOR ME TOO ..... IT'S ABOUT PEOPLE.... FRIENDSHIP .... AND HAVING FUN ..... IT HELPS ME TO COPE WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON WITH THE WORLD .... THANKS FOR YOU VIDEO IT'S GREAT......

Good video BB, and some good thoughts

good points. at this point, a reset wouldnt be as big of a deal as long as the new content is worth it

Concise, to the point, thoughtful, witty…must see NMS content🙏

If they would do a galactic reset I think a "blueprint" mode would be nice, so you can piece together a structure with decorations and everything inside and copy it, so if you want to use it again you just paste it at somewhere it can fit.

I think HG should add an item that stores a base of the user like some sort of pocket reality cube and they could place it somewhere else once a reset happens, or just let us save base presets that we can build after gathering the necessary materials. For fauna, the old discoveries that disappeared could be marked extinct and if you want to make them a companion, you have to make them Jurassic park style by using the data your scanner saved and using that the egg of a similar creature in the egg sequencer or something.

You summed it up at the end. The game is about the journey, not the destination. I restart a new save after every patch, so I have no 'uber save' to worry about. A reset wouldn't bother me if they needed to do it to improve this already amazing game.

Hell, who's to say we all haven't already experienced multiple resets in our actual universe and reality.

It’s simple- better terrain will inspire better bases, hindsight bias would see us all acclaim their choice to reset, but people for some reason want to carry their hardheadedness over to a video game

This could be done with a parallel universe theme where older saves continue on older servers with current content and newer saves moved over to restart servers with continued updated content . Seems like a bit of a mess but it would be a good way to keep everybody happy .

Great points in your video. I’m hoping they seed a new universe instead of a reset (Void? World of Glass?) with better Proc Gen using a new iteration of the Atlas program, which we can visit by going through the boundary failures.

I have numerous resource outposts dotted along my route to the Galaxy core and I have a single "Home" base that I've been working on for two years and have recently started building a Cathedral for my little sea side town. It already has a marina, lighthouse , subterranean complex , starport and agricultural complex. The little outposts have just been upgraded to utilize different hotspots and finally enabled me to focus on my journey coreward and finally enabled production of stasis devices. I will be upset if this journey is disrupted through the loss of the outposts but I could adapt. The loss of my "home" may just push me to another game. Too much work has gone into it and I've been holding out for the day my brother comes to visit the town of Staberinde. I've not started building the Battleship yet. The cathedral is a test of resources first. I've not made it to the core . The plan was to stop just short of it and build a small base. A holiday home . The last time I played a game and got hooked was playing DayZ Origins. It was far more buggy than no man's sky ....much worse and yet the game was fantastic and like no man sky ceases to feel like a mundane game. You have your home and the missions you set yourself. If the games bugs do not render mission impossible then I don't worry about them. I do not explore. I travel . The game reminds me of Battlestar Galactica. I appreciate the cerebral game that we have but I'd far rather see pvp increase, PvE increase, random destruction of logistics and resources that requires maintenance and I'd like my home base to be safe.

I wonder, could the Frontiers update truly be the frontier between the old world and the new? A sort of new universe where the developers could constantly iterate on its very foundations, experimental and new grounds, effectively being an eternal frontier for explorers, where builders would battle with the ephemeral nature of that universe. That could be great.

I really wish they'd do a full reset while keeping savefile (Clear inventory but keep your expedition progresses) It really sucks ATM trying to find an undiscovered location near the galactic core.

When the first expedition went online, I deleted all my saves. I don't miss anything i lost. I have built a new home and am having a good time. A reset to implement major changes? am all for it, nothing is forever.

Playing NMS since the days before third person im ready for everything they bring

i had been building an "empire" of star systems i had explored and renamed so that you could tell on the galactic map that they were all together. that got wiped so i'm unlikely to go to that much effort with NMS again because it will just get wiped. so yeah, resetting systems and system names is a big deal, but frankly i don't care anymore, they can reset every weekend if they like, all my work is gone. it's already gone, wipe as much as they want.

Freighter Bases FTW! xD

I agree, I would welcome a reset to move the game forward. However, I'd like to think that if that were going to happen for this update, HG would have given us a heads up by now, giving us a chance to deconstruct bases or otherwise prepare for it. They did this for the last full reset years ago.

If you are a builder, then yes, resets always hurt. From my own personal experience, and I always choose to play games that have building, this would hurt more than most because NMS building is broken in fundamental ways. Pieces that should snap together don't. Unlike all other games I've played, glitching isn't just for the advanced, super creative builders, it's necessary to attach stairs to get out of your building and stupid stuff like that. Once they announced the Frontiers update, I quit building because it is so tedious and frustrating to do what should be simple stuff. My hope is the update will include at least some fixes to building. If there are a lot of fixes to building, and they choose to reset, I could live with that. If they were planning a reset, I think they would have given us a heads up by now, no?

What if they did a second universe that can be reset so they do new stuff while keeping people's stuff in the main universe

As long as they don't get rid of wild base computers and that flat terrain that encircles them, I say go for it.

I personally lost just over 2000 hours of work, including many bases over 5 galaxies when the last reset happened. I stopped playing when beyond dropped because it messed up my saves AGAIN, and did not come back until recently. I do not care for some of the new additions, and I am not a multiplayer person. I can honestly say that if another reset happens, I will permanently go offline and continue playing older version and build bases in unreachable galaxies such as negative galaxies as well as odyalutai and others you cannot reach now. Will be no sweat off my back to walk away from future expansions when they destroy all I have put into it.

Sean is a benevolent god! Seriously though, reset away if it means cleaning up the codebase & adding more features & better variety. Especially maps. Add maps and they can wipe it all.

Yes, absolutely. If shit happens, shit happens, but resetting for the sake of resetting would piss my off. There is so much undiscovered country there's no reason to do it.

A crazy Idea just popped in my head... What if they made game modes for the pillars of gameplay, people who want combat can have it, people who want exploration can have that, people who just want to trade and get rich can do that. And then those that like all three can just play the original modes. Maybe that's just too complicated IDK maybe it would be better to just have galaxies that lean toward each style of gameplay, in any case I'm cool with a reset if it would mean I have reason to stay on a planet for more than an hour or reason to travel to a new galaxy.

Amazing video.

I think the initial reaction would be just a knee jerk reaction, but if it improves the game and makes NMS more stable... i think the wider community will consider it a positive. Yes for me on Reset!

Man.. I dont want to lose my all white fighter, would be a sad day indeed

Bring a reset if it means a more comprehensive experience ❤️🌀

Nice Video Great Narration ...

Oof…I’ve been investing hours into base building recently and I would be a little heartbroken to lose all my work. But I would get over it and move on to new and better things. I agree with what seems like the majority that if it means the game takes a major step forward, a reset would be worth it, especially if they refund materials. I would just hope that they give ample notice so those that want to have time to take photos for rebuilding in the new universe

As a person who pretty much spends all of their time in space, i just hope it doesnt take my ships.

Forget a reset -- they should just make NMS II, and keep the original as a legacy game.

I would love if they reset it, removed the "multiple galaxies" part, put in motivations for players to come together and build settlements and/or entire civilizations on planets, and made singleplayer/multiplayer separate so that we can have always-online multiplayer.

You know I just realized a easy solution for them to do. Have it save your build on a template that you can pre-built and angle however you want. But also make a dismantling ray for breaking down buildings on a large scale for their base building blocks. If they did this then updating the building system to be even better and more seemless Hello Games wouldn't care if they had to reboot again. At least you guys have a way to auto build your buildings again you know?

I just recently did a reset and I lost my solar ship that I literally got yesterday I'm not too happy about it 😤

As former ark pvp player for 4 years im used to starting again every month so any longer is just a bonus and after playing this for a month I def wont be going back to laggy old ark

Hey Beeb, I'm down for a reset & loosing everything and I've built some really nice bases with 2200 hrs in

I agree 100%. If is to implement more and better, wipe away.

The NEXT update did destroy a number of modules in my MT and ship. It also effectively destroyed my one circuit board farm. It did get credit for my obsolete modules to get new modules. But I had to learn the new tech recipes before I could use them. I was very upset, at the time. Now, not so much. If a reset occurs, I will just take it in stride. But my thoughts are not a reset, but somehow using the LS and Boundary Fractures as a way to enter an entirely new universe with, perhaps, new types of systems, biomes, freighters, and ships. The only thing in common would be the LS. The only transition from one universe to the other would be via the Boundary Fracture. You could NOT summon anything from one universe to another. You'd only have what is in your exosuit (resources & tech). I don't know about tech in the MT. So a new freighter and, at least, 5 new ships (I guess you'd keep the LS to transition back & forth). If there are new biomes, I don't know about new hazard protection for them. 🤔

These "resets" are what happens in real life inside most communities and technologies alike. It is necessary and this video has the best reasoning in my opinion. We can always rebuild.

personally for me if the game runs smooth, if we can see/visit/use other peoples bases, if new biomes/ships/adventures/stories were to be told etc etc then i would welcome a reset :) a fresh start is a fresh adventure

I have built 30 bases to mine everything, it would bloody annoy me to rebuild. None of my bases were stuffed by biome changes in the past.

I have over a dozen bases. Mostly on planets I've found that are super unique. But I'm actually okay with a reset for these same reasons. If it means a more diverse galaxy with more planets types and unique environments, then I'm all for a reset.

My save game is backed up, my ships and my bases. Doesn't phase me at all 🤷🏻‍♂️

I don't mind a reset at all provided it brings vast improvements across the board to the game. I want to see NMS evolve. I have memories, pictures, Bases, catalogs etc too. I look forward to making new versions of all the aforementioned. Don't be afraid of the inevitable in life. Change happens all around us to every single one of us every second in our daily lives. Either learn to tolerate or embrace this or you will live a miserable, fearful existence.

It is time for another reset. I normally would do a new permadeath with each of the updates to see the changes that might have been made. I had stopped doing that as of 3.3 cause that added a rather unneeded change - that new target sweep scanner that has no real place in the game. I still have my old saves (survival, perma and the normal) that date back to 1.77 before the Beyond update, had not touched those since cause how it broke so many bases. People want to see those multicolored worlds again, but they forget that to have those back the reset needs to take place.

I just started playing the game a few weeks ago and put in a lot of time. I'd be uber pissed if I lost my freighter, base, and my materials. I would probably walk away unless the updates are super awesome.

If I loose all six of my S 48/21 ship's I will stomp my system into pieces. It took 350+ hour's to obtain.

as a pc player i use mods,save editor and everything else i can to build nice bases so i can import/export my bases across saves but even if i was unable to save my bases if the reason for reset is good enought then go ahead :) i really hope they will merge all platforms so there is much more players everywhere or make players able to build all the stuff thats in Eucli-ea Edit : and increase Upload/Build limit above 3000/15000 !!!!

“This is the way!”

Very well said Beeblebum. I am a yes for a reset if it makes a significant change to the game. I would be a little bummed that I would potentially lose my 255 galaxy core base saves that took me YEARS to warp thu in my explorer but oh well.....I am all for improving a game that in my opinion is already the best game of all time :) In a wierd way I wouldn't mind starting all over and rebuilding everything. Look at the bright side....It would give all of us a ton to do all over again and put another 1000 hours or so of enjoyment into. "Travel far and discover all" fellow interloopers.

Great point, No man's sky is a journey. When we put a lot effort into something we don't want it to come to a end this I understand. We must remember that a reset grants us the opportunity to build something better.

Soon it would be both more practical and by now probably quite acceptable to most of the community to simply release a new game, No Man’s Sky 2

I'll start a new game when Frontiers comes our so I'm even open to them wiping all our saves if it significantly improved the game. I'm all in for a full reset.

get ready something amazing is coming

If they ever do a reset, they should lead up to it by starting to decrease the countdown 16 // 16 // 16...

I am definitely on for a reset and i don't mind my creations to go obsolete BUT i am 100% sure that Hello Games will find ways to appease us all. They can implement blueprints for example, which can work as a stored item which will contain our old bases. They can even make it as a new function to the game. Imagine buying blueprints of bases from other players which then you can build with materials you find. But there's more. Forget the blueprints. Imagine if they make another dimension like the Void. Well if they can make one new dimension, this won't stop them from making multiple new dimensions. This new dimension could hold the new superformula for example (if applying new rules to each dimension is technically possible). And then the old (current) dimension would remain intact to visit freely. In this case, i would sacrifice the extra galaxies. I don't see a point for them to exist the way they exist now, they are nearly identical. Better scrap them or make them count (by adding galaxy-speific proc gen rules etc or thinking something innovative entirely).

I think Hello Games knows best what they can do with this game and I'm all for it. If they got to "wipe" the universe so be it. Maybe a few would cry but with the improvements , I'm sure would come, that won't last for long. Improvise, adapt , overcome. Go ahead Sean, wipe it all...I'll be baaacckkk

Building in NMS is easy enough and yet sometimes time consuming depending upon the build, but anything like a stasis device farm is really easy to replace, even at half max units, so if a reset comes I can deal with it, as I have no truly epic monument build which would be lost, some builds would be a great loss if deleted by reset so it's 6 of one half a dozen of another

I"ve been playing since launch five years ago and don't care if they reset and wipe out everything I've done. I can rebuild bases, find new ships, and discover new things. That's the fun of the game. I'm in no hurry to get anywhere in the game whether it's the center of the current galaxy or the last galaxy. As long as I can have fun getting there.

I think this game definitely needs more. So I would be down with a reset

Why can’t they just change the generation for future planets that haven’t been discovered yet

A reset means better planet surface generation I really hate people who complain about resets because the one thing no mans sky really lacks is decent looking hills, mountains, plains and valleys.

As long as my character is not reset I'm fine with the rest of the universes being reset.

I would be in favor of a reset if for no other reason than I have a sky base that is no longer accessible and I just want it to go away. 😅

I think this game needs a reset, especially between major versions, if the first number of the game version changes, then the galaxy NEEDS to be reset. If bases is a problem, all the team needs to do is to create a way for players to claim a place, and on the base computer, chose to reset one of the previous bases, as long as it's possible. Meaning, mining bases should only be "restored" if a mining site is nearby and so on. Yeah, a pain in the ass to do, but possible, more or less. Now, if we want this game to look better, and to have more stuff happening, we cannot expect them to create MORE starts, because let's be real: It's already a pain to find stuff on what we have right now, eventually they will need to reset the game. They can maintain your progress, the things you have scanned, and all that, but in the end: NMS IS a game that is in a constant flux of updates, wanting a game with this kind of setup, where everything is generated by an algorithm, wanting for caves to look better, for dark holes to be more than a quick teleporter, giant gas planets, better terrain generation, there's a limit of what they can pull off without a reset. That's why they struggle to bring back the feel of 1.3 and below, they need to fundamentally change how the algorithm generates the universe, and sadly, the reset is needed for that. I understand why people get mad at it, but this is not a game where each planet is crafter by hand. It's not possible to add more and more and change more without changing the entire universe in the process, you guys can chill when Sean says: "Ok, for now on, we will only add Expeditions to the game, the situation NMS is now, is the final version and it's what we envision for it", OR, when he says "So, for now on this game will branch into two versions, the final one, and the expansion one where you guys will pay for an expansion that will make the game bigger, better, and will do a reset, but we will hold a server for both versions". Being attached to progress in an evolving game like this one, right now, especially the LORE of NMS being a simulation that is breaking down, we shouldn't be sad when the entire simulation changes because of reasons, I think it's awesome that this game can explain the weird changes, acknowledging that changes happened inside the game while making it part of the lore, the old abandoned space stations is such an awesome touch for the game, making us aware that even the NPC's understand that the simulation is breaking down XD. Anyway, that's what I think: Resets should be a thing every time the first number of the game changes. Minor updates and Fix updates can maintain the universe, but as soon as NMS goes from version 3.5 to 4.0, that 4 represents a change so big, it's impossible to maintain the game the same, so reset it. Simple. You don't like it? Well, too bad.

Reset the save's what made me stop playing the game in the 1st place they reseded a long time ago and I have bladed since

I've been playing NMS since it was first released and have over 6,000 hours at it. And upon every major update, I've done a complete restart. At the end of the day, NMS is still just a game. It's not reality and thus just like reality, subject to change. I don't like being 5 years older, since the release of NMS, but I have to face the fact that I am.

Reset would be painful for casual players. As a programmer, I would generate new biomes for undiscovered planets and star systems. This way the existing planets ans system wouldn't be affected. Most of the universe is still undiscovered.

Fast forward to 2023, I lost everything. All the hours I put in (this is the hardest part for me to get over), buildings, discoveries, and ships, that's just a kick in the...well you know. Now, I guess I start over. Lame!

Goog topic. I want a reset. Not reseting the game kinda holds them back

Who needs a No Mans Sky Remaster reboot 2 ,3,4 ect and Purchase a New Copy when you can still use your Disk from the First Iteration and Sure as X is X We get a Full on new adventure Thread Direction The Expeditions Mode was a Great Idea where you Could Go Deeper into The game and Try out new things such as Equipment changes and even Biomes in the natural Way So With Frontiers Looming this will be a 110% way to Get the Community Ready for the Main game and I think as you Some of the People with not much time in the Game will be upset at losing their Assets On a reset . I was Lucky (on the Last reset) with only 2 or 3 removed resource items and 2 of my Bases had to be Dug out and made good again Time taken Just 1 Hour Frontier sounds Likely to Be a Revision Reset again, Rather Than when the "NEXT" update Happened with Screens Full of obsolete Technology icons. Much easier to Start over again as there was That much new Features /Changes in the Overwrite/update

If the new updates enhance gaming experience and make it fresh, I don't mind a reset. As a Fallout4 player who forgot whose Shaun is... What? What reset?

If it brought significant benefits I would love a reset. I dont know how difficult it would be to keep one solar system for players with big builds and community’s in an archive.

I juste entered the game and every tech of it simple VANISHED. And the lag...... They never adressed about the lag. The problem is always with our config....

Im down for a reset. As bummed as I would be in losing a few bases I spent a lot of time on, I would be glad for having more to do. And it would would take care of the problem I have with so many pointless base computers I placed. I dont remember why I put most where I did hahahah. And if my bases are the cost of game stability and improved dynamics, its worth it. My only worry is the nerfing of econimic things like farms and deposit regeneration. I really enjoy making things to help other people with resources and I would be bummed to lose all that. And of course, the ship hunting. If the ship locations are all changed, my enormous catalog is worthless.... though it wouldn't be hard to start all over. And a ship building element would render shiphunting obsolete. This game has been a good lesson in postitive and negative attatchments and dealing with them. It used to be painful to scrap a favorite ship to make room for another, or delete a base I worked hard to make. But now, I have no hesitation and see it as an opportunity. Thats huge, because attatchment to material things and the fear of losing them is the source of misery in the world. At least according to Buddha. Lol Good vid man.

This update might require a reset. They might be delayed with the new update because they might bit trying to avoid a reset. That update might be that big.

Reset. Do it!

Hello Games has to accept the fact that to implement fauna/flora with procedural assets, a reset is NECESSARY. I want the terrain from Foundation back in the game too. Yes, I want fauna/flora with procedural assets. Yes, I want Foundation terrain. Yes, I want a reset.

Personally, I don't really care for how the game looks or furthering those aspects because it already looks great and the biomes are tremendously varied. However, I would GLADLY and PROUDLY support a reset for a total rework and refinement of the grouping/matchmaking system! It's absolutely atrocious right now with partner's icons disappearing, shared jobs not completing or continuing correctly, not being able to join up at all, and so on. I also want a bit more consideration given to different playstyles as well. I played/completed the Blight Expedition on a different account than what I'm playing on now which means all of my progress from that account is gone including the expedition rewards which is just unfair in a lot of ways. It's definitely a "me problem," but it's a shared problem so a crossover system for accounts would also be really appreciated. I mean, I'm a pirate in-game that can't have a pirate flag because...I don't have the expedition rewards on this account? It's a playstyle and certain things like that shouldn't be locked by expedition I feel. Those particular rewards could be reworked to being unlocked by activity progression or even Quick Silver. I would also trade all of my profile stuff off for the chance to have more player customization options such as ship color and decal customizations. A galactic map device would be amazing as well...again worth a reset.
