Starting today, Xbox One travellers will be able to explore a stranger, richer and more diverse universe than ever before. New planetary biomes loomed over by mountainous and volatile terrain, new weather conditions to battle against, a wealth of new creatures large and small, huge new buildings filled with new lore and much, much more. And as with most things in our procedurally generated universe, you will be the first to clap eyes on whatever you discover.
Origins is our big annual update for 2020, in the tradition of Beyond last year. It is something a large part of our small team has been working on in the background to the smaller, more frequent updates so far this year. We’re very excited to see what you find.
Our journey continues.

IIRC you used to not have access to your ships if they were left in other systems. Is that still the case?

Went ahead and fired it up today. My "main base" was buried under 40 feet of rock, a couple of secondary bases were less impacted, and had to add additional power to my Activated Indium farm (not sure why, I assume there were changes in power usage). All in all, no big deal. I really like the ability to see storage in the Freighter inventory menu. First system I warped into was a three star system each of a different color. I thought I read some materials had been removed from the game, but it must have all be crafted things because I didn't find any of their standard item removed replacements. I might go looking for a giant worm....

I picked it up a couple of weeks ago on a sale and I'm glad I did. While I was peeved at Hello Games' when this game was first released because of the blatant lying it turned out to be pretty fun in the end.

Damn, that's a lot of gorgeous update material. Not too much content, necessarily, but for explorers.. That's gonna be killer.
As always, this game is worth the $20 on sale, if you like flying around or exploring, in any capacity.
They went hard on the regional price differences: https://steamdb.info/app/275850/
And Australian dollars is only 3 cents off a conversion, which tells me they are paying attention and trying to be fair. Because Australia usually gets seriously shafted in regional stuff for computers from what I've seen
They are listed as the dev and the pub in steam, so that tells me they are setting their prices and trying to be fair (at least when comparing EU and 1st world countries). Unlike some other publishers that really heavily screw people on regional pricing.
Mr. Tact wrote on Sep 23, 2020, 17:28:Looking through the reddit it looks like some bases were impacted by this update, others weren't. Not clear what the deciding factors were...jdreyer wrote on Sep 23, 2020, 14:17:Good questions. I've had two or three long sets of playing the game and I "lost" my base in one of the updates after being away for a while. However, in my case I was able to "restore" my base -- this was when you could only have one base... So, yeah -- your stuff might be gone, but if it is be sure to check the reddit -- there might be some way to retrieve it. As for starting a new game, depends on how long you have been away. The longer it has been, the better this option is. The game changes a fair amount every year...
Okay, here's a NMS question: my save is two years old at this point. I had several ships, a base, 100K or so in coin. I logged in 6 months ago or so, and couldn't find anything and the teleporter for the station I was on wouldn't return me to my base.
Have things changed so much that my stuff is gone or not accessible/findable or should I be able to locate it?
Have things changed so much that I should just start a new game?

How do these guys continue to fund such awesome development? Do sales continue to be that strong?
