Hello Games announces the launch of a new Relics Update for No Man's Sky, continuing its post-release support for the 2016 space-based action/adventure. Relics digs into the past, adding a paleontology element that allows players to excavate bones and fossils, engage in new battles, and even do a little Jurassic Parking if you're willing to risk the chaos. An Update Trailer features a look at what to expect, including combat with Gorignak that may require you to form some sort of rudimentary lathe. A post on Steam has more on this chance to make your bones:

Since launch, because of the way that No Man’s Sky’s planetary terrain works, No Man’s Sky players have enjoyed being able to dig down through the earth to find buried technologies or other valuable items hidden beneath their feet. From today, players will start to find a whole new category of palaeontological finds - the skeletal remains of alien creatures which used to inhabit these worlds. So terrain manipulators at the ready!

Just as the living creatures which continue to populate the star systems, there is a huge variety of prehistoric bones, in all shapes and sizes, to excavate and collect. It’s up to you how you reassemble them and there’s a lot of fun to be had building ever-more outrageous skeletons to put on display in your bases-turned-museums or share with your fellow Travellers.
