Beyond the Algorithm: Quantifying No Man's Sky's Procedural Potential in 2024
One of No Man's Sky's most famous features is its ability to generate trillions upon trillions of unique worlds. Every planet and moon is unique. However, many players eventually find these worlds to be increasingly repetitive over time. So let's take a deep dive and analyze how the game's procedural generation works and just how much it has improved and expanded over the last seven years of updates. We'll try to the answer the question of how many planet types there actually are in No Man's Sky as of 2024. Plus we can make a comparison to the game's launch version in 2016.
