I noticed that there doesn't seem to be a NMS thread. Either that or I not search so good.
I played the game at launch and very rapidly got bored to death. Recently revisited the game and it's a completely transformed experience - the expedition system really gives the game a sense of purpose.
For the next six weeks, you can play expedition 7 - https://www.nomanssky.com/2022/05/expedition-seven-leviathan/
Our seventh expedition traps Travellers inside a time loop, and offers a taste of roguelike gameplay. Difficulty is tuned to survival-mode settings, and every death means a reset of the loop.
As players explore the loop, they will recover Memory Fragments, lost remnants of previous loops. These manifest as procedurally generated technology, meaning each reset of the loop may play out very differently.
The more Travellers that participate in the research, the stronger the Memory Fragments become, manifesting in better upgrades, more inventory space, and stronger Multi-Tools and starships.

You can currently pick the PS4 version of the game up for $15 on ebay, which includes free VR and PS5 versions. An absolute bargain for what the game has become.
Anybody else playing through the expedition currently?
