Total Addresses: 239

The Portal Repository has grown organically since 2017 and has undergone several minor design changes, but now I am seeking a volunteer to help with a complete web design overhaul.

Any potential candidate should be very familiar with WordPress and modern web design practices. Knowledge of PHP, Javascript, Jquery also would be required. Time commitment can be flexible to accommodate your schedule, but I would ask that you can devote at least several hours per week to this project.

Like this website itself, the Web Designer role would be a purely voluntary position for a No Man’s Sky fan who wants to build a tool used to help thousands of fellow Travellers every day.

Interested in joining The Portal Repository as a Web Designer? Send an email to [email protected] describing your background in web design and a little blurb about why you want to volunteer for The Portal Repository.

Please note that the last day to submit portal addresses for NEXT is August 13th 1200Z. After this time The Portal Repository will go into maintenance mode in order to archive all NEXT addresses and prepare for the Beyond update.

The maintenance window could take up to 24 hours. I will make a great effort to restore the site in time for the Beyond release on August 14th. Depending on the exact new features introduced by Beyond I can’t rule out the possibility of brief maintenance down-times on the days following the release.

During the maintenance mode the portal submission form will be disabled but I will do my best to keep the rest of the site available so users can still browse the existing addresses. However, due to some intensive background processes happening during the maintenance mode the site may occasionally be slow or unresponsive.

Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding!

Today several articles came out with additional information from Sean Murray about the mysterious third pillar, now officially dubbed No Man’s Sky: 2.0.

I’ve summarized some of the new features below and the links to the original articles are included at the bottom of this post.

No Man’s Sky 2.0 Features Include:

• – Creature Riding
• – Creature Farming
• – Creature Milking 0_o
• – Creature Taming
• – NPC’s walking around on planets
• – Deeper missions
• – New alien languages
• – New alien races
• – Larger base limits
• – Industrial-type bases
  • — Generators
  • — Solar panels
  • — Mining extractors
• – New base logic
  • — Electricity
  • — Creative building
• – Cooking
• – New galactic maps
• – Increased scale of all assets (ships, exocraft, building, etc)

This list isn’t all-inclusive and Sean Murray says that the patch notes for Beyond will be nearly twice as long as the patch notes for NEXT!

Hello Games has officially announced the release date of the next update, Beyond, as August 14th, 2019. Thus far we know two of the three major components to this update are No Man’s Sky Online and VR support. The third “pillar” of Beyond remains unknown at this time but may be announced at some time in the next couple weeks before the release.

The announcement was accompanied by a slightly different 4-second clip that shows a little more of what appears to be the inside of a new structure. The structure is vaguely similar to a space station or Atlas Interface, with landing pads, consoles, holograms and walkways, etc. The actual purpose and context of this new structure is still a mystery.
