No Man’s Sky Gamer Constructs Impressive City on Personal Planet

In the ever-expansive universe of No Man’s Sky, one imaginative player has taken it upon themselves to create a bustling city on their planet, addressing the game’s lack of urban landscapes. Since its turbulent beginnings, No Man’s Sky has transformed profoundly, making this impressive city creation a potential stepping stone for future game developments.

When No Man’s Sky first launched, players were met with a less-than-ideal experience that led to a mixed bag of reviews. However, the game has since evolved significantly through updates such as NEXT, Pathfinder, and Frontiers, each bringing substantial improvements and new features. These changes have drawn back many former players, rekindling their interest in the gaming universe. Among the features players crave is the presence of cities to fill the vast, uncharted planets. One enterprising player took this desire into their own hands, fashioning their own metropolis, which they’ve cheerfully named “Velcorin.”

On Reddit, the user Goldyisus63 unveiled a series of five snapshots showcasing their meticulously crafted No Man’s Sky city from various perspectives. The first image provides an aerial glimpse of Velcorin, while the next offers a contrasting view from the other end. At a glance, the city boasts 14 grand structures, including six distinct towers. Consistent with real-world architecture, each building has a unique design, contributing to an authentic urban ambiance within the sci-fi world. Particularly striking is an arch reminiscent of Paris’s Arc de Triomphe, though this one is topped with five brilliant golden statues. In the final photos, the isometric angles highlight the intricate web of roads linking the city’s structures.

The city of Velcorin, as described by Goldyisus63, serves as the heart of the Realm of Halcyon, adding a layer of role-playing to enhance the building experience—which is a strategy players use to keep the game fresh. With over 5,000 parts utilized, the city spans across two Base Computers, as the game imposes a 3,000-part limit per computer on each planet. Another Redditor joined in the conversation, sharing an image of their own city, underscoring the community’s growing interest in urban creations.

With Hello Games regularly introducing new content to No Man’s Sky, the possibility of seeing officially integrated cities and megastructures isn’t off the table for future updates. Until then, player-driven cities like Goldyisus63’s Velcorin add a lived-in feel to the worlds, enriching the game’s universe for those inventive enough to try their hand at city building.
