One creative No Man’s Sky player puts their building skills to use, creating an impressive restaurant on one of the game’s many worlds.

In a recent post on Reddit, SolidMechanism4400 shared several images of an impressive base they built in No Man's Sky. The base, which is surrounded by water as far as the eye can see, resembles a massive offshore oil rig. It's easy to see that the player likely spent a lot of time creating the base, as the attention to detail is truly incredible. The structures and machinery have an authentic appearance that makes the base feel alive. One person who praised the build claimed that they had worked on an offshore oil rig for years, and said that SolidMechanism4400 truly captured the feel of the platform.

The community has a long tradition of sharing their creations with one another. For instance, the Reddit user simp-ify recently shared images with fellow fans that showed off their version of the Millennium Falcon in No Man's Sky. The popular science fiction ship first made its appearance in the beloved film Star Wars, but has since become something of an icon in popular culture. The pictures shared by simp-ify show the ship floating high above a planet, though they also posted images of the impressive interior. The player said they spent quite a bit of time crafting the base, likely due to the incredible amount of detail. Perhaps most notably, simp-ify stated that they didn't use any mods to aid in the creation of the Millennium Falcon.

No Man's Sky is often praised as one of the best building games that gives players the ability to truly showcase their imagination while creating bases. Even though Hello Games' popular title was released nine years ago, the developers have continued to support the game through frequent updates that often contain a significant amount of fresh content. With so much content to engage with, many players seem to be enjoying their time with No Man's Sky.
