Sure thing, let’s take this for a spin!
Okay, so here’s a thing—I’m not even sure how I stumbled across it. A hanging garden. Not the Babylon one or anything ancient like that, but this was in No Man’s Sky. Weird, right? Someone made this incredible green space on a freighter, which, if you ask me, feels like bringing a little slice of nature to the cold, metallic void. And it’s not just any player—it was done entirely on Xbox, no mods—by this Reddit user with the name Dazzling-Necessary55. Catchy, huh?
Now, No Man’s Sky is like this massive playground, right? You can wander around endlessly, explore uncharted planets—half of them look like someone spilled neon paint on them. But beyond all that exploring, there’s this thing—base building. You can farm, store your stuff, or just create whatever your imagination cooks up! And that’s what this player did—went all floral on their spaceship.
Scrolling through Reddit, and bam, there it is—a video. This person, Dazzling-whatever-the-number is, showed off a garden where plants were doing some zero-gravity stunt, just hanging up there on the ceiling. Why? Guess they had unused space up there and thought, "Why not?". Bananas, right? But it looked really cool. They used something called Quicksilver to get all those digital greens, planting them in such a way it didn’t look like a mess. Kind of like making confetti look organized, which isn’t easy—trust me, I’ve tried.
Anyway, the reaction online was like a wave of thumbs-ups. Hundreds, if not thousands of upvotes. People are probably wondering how on earth they managed this—I mean, besides stacking plants and deleting stuff to make them float. Apparently, a lot of users were curious if they could pull off something similar. Who knew gardening tips in space were a thing?
Despite being almost a decade old—man, how time flies—No Man’s Sky still pulls players back with these updates. Maybe it’s the curiosity or maybe just the want for some wild, uninterrupted freedom. I remember reading about someone making a whole city on their freighter. Imagine that—your own cyber New York floating in space.
Anyway—wait, lost my train of thought—oh yeah, so with these zillion updates, including the so-called Relics Update, it might be the perfect excuse to dive back into the game. The developers keep squishing bugs to make it less glitchy—which is great unless you’re into that sort of glitchy charm.
I wonder what comes next. Maybe someone will make a beach resort on their freighter. Who knows. The sky—or the starry digital universe—is the limit, I guess.
