As a true survival game at its core,No Man’s Skyoffers numerous upgrades with different stats for players to improve their tools, buildings, and life support systems, but one gamer might’ve found the worst upgrade imaginable. It’s not that uncommon to find a useless item when exploring the vastness of space inNo Man’s Sky, though. All the specs are randomly generated, so the results may vary greatly.
InNo Man’s Sky, players have limited space to install upgrades for their suits to improve their life support systems, and it may take a while to find an item powerful enough to keep it in the inventory. There’s no guarantee that a tech merchant with a random assortment of goods will offer exactly what’s needed the most, so hopping between space stations is a common activity. And it’s not just about upgrades; since random generation is the foundation of the game, players spend most of their playtime constantly searching for something specific. One explorer, for instance, traveled across 900 star systems looking fora paradise planet inNo Man’s Sky.
The unpredictable nature ofNo Man’s Sky’s randomness is the focus of yet another Reddit story, as revealed by a user named yaboyfriendisadork in a hilarious post. They’re confident they’ve found the worst existing upgrade in the game: a ridiculous 1% Life Support bonus to Solar Panel Power. The standard description in the item’s card makes the situation comedy gold, as the bonus is labeled as “significant” and “substantial.” This silly discovery fueled quite a lengthy Reddit thread, with users discussing how dismantling the upgrade is more valuable than its 1% bonus and sharing their examples of the worst upgrades inthe recentNo Man’s Sky Worlds Part Oneupdate. According to one player, they’ve retrieved an upgrade from the Black Market with a whopping 20% penalty to Solar Panel Power, meaning that a 1% bonus isn’t that bad after all.
No Man’s Sky Player Finds ‘Worst Upgrade’
Not every recent discovery inNo Man’s Skyis as comical as the one made by yaboyfriendisadork. Not only has theWorlds Part Oneupdate introduced numerous additions in terms of new content and features, but it has also changed some of the familiar in-game environments players were used to. One such discovery was made by Redditor MeatGrinder_lol. According to them, the updated space stations are nowmissing lounge rooms inNo Man’s Sky, which has led to a critical discussion between players. Understandably, it’s the developers’ responsibility to decide which content works best. However, over half a decade of post-launch support has taught players thatNo Man’s Skyis aiming to add new stuff, not remove it.
That being said, it feels like Hello Games isn’t solely focusing on the quantity of various content additions it introduces to the game but the quality as well, so it’s safe to assume that players can expect a lot more changes onceWorlds Part Twolaunches. Until then, the latest update should be enough to keep the Reddit community interested in exploring space and sharing new discoveries.
