    I like this game, but it can feel pretty lonely at times.

    Is there a way to meet up with people and build on a planet together such that anyone in your group can be there at any time?

    Yeah, some space stations have other players; just most of the planets are empty because the universe is so huge.

    I have returned to the game on a regular basis and can tell you I have found I am playing this game several hours a day because there is so much to do with exploring and working the missions in your log. Once you get your settlement and your freighter you will find you have to prioritize your time.

    and thats why I was thinking do they really need more planets?

    Adding trillions of planets?  To what useful purpose?

    All the more real estate to role play being an Interstellar Flying Dutchman I guess.

    I mean, just for curiosity sake: What are one and two?

    Otherwise, always amazing what they do with this game. I'd agree that the trillions of planets more might seem a bit excessive, but I guess it serves a purpose for those who like "discovering" systems and planets, getting to name their discoveries, etc. When the devs do finally consider this game feature-complete, it'll still provide that discovery mechanic for some time to come....So maybe no useful purpose at this moment aside from 'future proofing' in some manner.

    They don't need to do anything further with NMS. They have long since provided far more than was originally promised so could any time and be fully redeemed for their poor start. That would allow them to focus more on their upcoming fantasy game, but apparently they just can't let NMS end quite yet so it continues to be the game that keeps on giving... relentlessly.

    I want all the planets.
    You'll have to go play elsewhere.

    Ok, twist my arm. I guess I'll have to do another play through when this comes out. Looks fantastic.

    Two or more people can build a base together so long as the base's original owner is online. You can set protections so that only you can edit the base, or people in your group, or anyone, you have to be online though.

    You can upload the base to the persistent universe, so that if you are offline others can visit the base and harvest the mines and farms there, but the base cannot be edited.

    Some people make puzzle bases, or maze bases, or even bases that trap others who visit in a form of PvP. There is also basic PvP including griefing, so many people usually turn that off.

    There is also a Galactic Hub where players have cooperated in building on planets near each other.

    Galactic Hub Project - NMS Galactic Hub Project

    edit: the Anomaly (large NPC star base) hosts up to 32 players at a time, and you can get missions to run with others there. Players frequently gift credits and items to new players making them instantly rich. Not everyone wants that though, I'd rather play to earn the money, not be given it,

    Some people are picky; I want a earth-like planet with blue skies and water, that has runaway mold balls to farm, with floating islands and waterfalls. Oh, and a big cave so I can build an underground base. Oh, and no pesky sentinels. Oh, and in a Gek system, not those ugly Korvax.

    Or perhaps you want a water world where the water is red and over a kilometer deep, to build underwater bases and set up a fishing base.

    They have given so much for this game, and i have gotten such enjoyment from it that its earned them credit for their next endeavour from me anyway. Will Preorder Light no Fire once it becomes available.

    I think they're trying to add planets and changes while leaving as many discovered planets, bases, and community hubs untouched. Dedicated builders and community hubs don't like their work ruined and Hello Games is trying to accommodate that as best they can while still providing updates.
