Expand your planetary empire in No Man’s Sky BEACON. Become Overseer of multiple planetary settlements, and discover the townships of the secretive robotic Autophage. Introducing improved settlement balance, more variety of management decisions, building upgrades, infestations, new base parts and more!
Become Overseer of up to four settlements, managing townships on the frontier of multiple worlds – each with their own set of citizens and challenges. Govern your settlers wisely and invest in their infrastructure to enable each settlement to flourish, producing lucrative resources, and becoming an invaluable base of operations throughout your journey.
As Overseer, review a history of your settlement’s accomplishments and statistics achieved throughout your tenure. Improved record keeping now documents your influence on your citizens’ happiness, the number of sentinel attacks successfully repelled, new infrastructure constructed, and more.
