No Man’s Sky update brings physics overhaul, Colossus customisation and more

While the team continue to work on their much-anticipated survival-crafter Light No Fire, Hello Games have consistently released major updates for No Man’s Sky. Though smaller than some previous recent updates, No Man’s Sky: Remnant introduces a whole new aspect to the game with an overhaul to physics and gravity.

Available to download and check out right now, No Man’s Sky’s Remnant update is focused on a few core elements which are more substantial than they initially seem.

By far the most notable addition with the update is the overhaul to physics/gravity, with the new Gravitino Coil attachment for your multi-tool pretty much turning it into the gravity gun from Half-Life / Gmod.

Beyond being a fun addition to the sandbox, this new physics / gravity mechanic ties into the new industrial waste system, in which players can collect and transport scrap to a waste processing plant in order “to cleanse planets, salvage materials, and earn rewards.”

While the physics overhaul is by far the most impactful addition, other ancillary improvements/features include:

• Cyclops exo scope
• Colossus exo customisation
  • Flatbed module
  • Off-Road wheels
  • New cabins
  • Colossus obstacle demolition attachment
• Waste processing plants
• Volatile waste
• Improvements to lighting, edge stability and performance of clouds
• New community expedition

With each update it feels as though the team at Hello Games have finally turned No Man’s Sky into the complete package – only for them to further expand the game’s scope in new and unexpected ways.
