Version 3.6 Frontiers

The latest No Man’s Sky update has finally arrived and is called Frontiers!

You can read the full patch notes from Hello Games here.

Among all the changes in this new release is a new game feature called “Planetary Settlements” which are NPC towns that players can manage and control. Currently it seems that players can only control one settlement at a time, and settlements are essentially treated like player bases (only one player can control a single settlement). For more information about Planetary Settlements keep an eye on this wiki page as the community starts exploring this new game feature!

The Portal Repository website has been updated to reflect the new version number and the new tag “Settlement” has been added as well. When you submit a portal address simply select the number of players that control settlements on that particular planet. The “Settlement” tag will be added automatically. The portal address metadata table will also display the number of player-controlled settlements.

Finally, a new quick link for Settlements has been added to the homepage. The quick link will take to you to “Settlement” tag archive page.
