Freighters are the main highlight of No Man’s Sky: Endurance Update. That said, a new experimental patch is now available to PC players who decide to opt-in via Steam.
Patch 3.97 brings additional improvements to freighters in No Man’s Sky: Endurance. For instance, players can now harvest carbon from the plants found on the walls of their agricultural freighter rooms. Some rendering optimizations for freighter bases are implemented as well.
For bug fixes, the issue where players were allowed to interact with their ship while it was being salvaged for scrap is now resolved. Also, the bug that was causing teleporters to not work correctly on derelict freighters is fixed.
Here are the other things implemented in Patch 3.97:
- Players can now place specific variants (straight/T-Junction/X-Junction) of freighter glass corridors.
- Fixed an issue that caused ByteBeat music to play over the top of the intended settlement bar music.
- Fixed a crash related to the Fleet Command room.
- Fixed an issue that could prevent building within very tall freighter bases.
- Fixed a rare visual glitch caused by the Exosuit backpack being incorrectly scaled.
- Fixed an issue that allowed bases from blocked players to still be synced in some circumstances.
- The UI now displays additional feedback after feeding a living frigate and evolving new traits.
- The visual effects for harvest plants within freighter bio rooms have been improved.
- Fixed an issue that caused some posters to use the wrong texture.
- Fixed an issue that prevented players from claiming earned frigates from the list of past expedition rewards.
- Fixed an issue that caused too many wires to be removed when deleting a connected base part (such as a switch).
- Fixed an issue that left ladders behind when deleting their attached room on a freighter.
- Fixed an issue that caused multiplayer freighter bases to be missing on PlayStation 4.
- Fixed an issue that prevented people from acquiring a living frigate if they changed their system clock.
- Fixed a number of cases where base parts (and planters) were not being powered correctly in some freighter base configurations.
- Fixed an issue that awarded players the resources gathered by NPC asteroid miners.
- Supporting scaffolds have been added to the underside of elevated freighter base parts.
- Players now always know the freighter bulkhead door, to prevent them from being trapped if they delete all exits to a room.
- Fixed an issue that prevented players from skipping cinematic black bars while in an Exocraft.
- Fixed an issue that could prevent newly-purchased frigates from joining up with the fleet.
This experimental update for No Man’s Sky: Endurance is currently only available on PC.
