The player should also get a secondary mission titled A Planet In Distress that is viewable in the Log. Gamers will then gain coordinates to a local procedurally generated settlement on a planet with aggressive Sentinels. The alien will explain in their language that their settlement needs help against a Sentinel attack and that there is no overseer. Once the player has left the orbit of their planet, or a space station, they will receive a pre-recorded emergency broadcast on their starship communicator. Furthermore, the player can reread any previous tutorials within the Guide menu so that returning players don't have to relearn everything from scratch. Thankfully, Hello Games has made it very easy to jump into the largest content offering in Frontiers with guided missions and tutorials so that the player is never really lost.

As mentioned earlier, everything in Frontiers is seamlessly integrated into the massive universe of No Man's Sky so that new and old players alike will be able to stumble across it in their space-faring adventures. The first thing many players will likely want to do after downloading Frontiers is experience this brand-new content.

There is also a major change to the general base-building systems and UI. Once claimed, players can become the overseer and manage the day-to-day operations of those settlements. The main feature of No Man's Sky Frontiers is the ability for players to find and claim various procedurally generated alien settlements on planets. As is now customary with these updates, the patch notes contain many major and minor changes to the game state. The seventeenth update in No Man's Sky's continued comeback, Frontiers, is releasing today, September 1st, 2021. However, within the patch notes, it was also confirmed that the third Expedition will be starting soon. Unlike the most recent release which added a new game mode, Expeditions, all of the changes in Frontiers are present within the base sandbox game mode. Among these updates was the fan-favorite base building mechanic added through Foundations.

Be it visual overhauls or an entirely new narrative story, No Man's Sky is showing no signs of slowing down or running out of ideas. Since it was released in 2016, Hello Games has consistently dropped major updates that expand and introduce new gameplay mechanics. No Man's Sky's unprecedented recovery from launch has become a blueprint within the gaming industry.
