Summary
OneNo Man’s Skyplayer has shown off an incredible base they built into a natural land formation, admitting it was so complex that it broke the game’s terrain mesh system. ManyNo Man’s Skyfans praised the player’s work and asked for advice on how to build a similar base, as many seem to struggle when building inside natural structures.
No Man’s Skycame out almost 10 years ago and continues to evolve, with developer Hello Games steadily rolling out updates with new content, features, and improvements for the massively popular sci-fi exploration and survival indie game. While the game is now thriving, with a huge community of active players who constantly share their creations on social media—showcasing the game’s impressive capabilities—No Man’s Skyhad to undergo a redeeming journeybefore becoming what it is today. Upon release, the game was a major disappointment for players, as it didn’t deliver on Hello Games’ promises about some of the game’s core features. However, over the years,No Man’s Skyimproved and became a truly impressive game—and now one player has shared a creation that further showcases its creative possibilities.
Building bases can be challenging inNo Man’s Sky, though Reddit user Lokeshwarajones took it to the next level by building theirs within a land formation. “I colonized the whole landscape structure with caves and rooms so much that it broke the mesh,” the player wrote in the post, showing off some impressive interior screenshots of the base. It features several well-decorated rooms, with plants, lights, and even a grated roof made with metal glass floor panels that let sunlight pour into the base.

The player also said the base is unfortunately no longer uploadable due to terrain edits, though they promised to still share the coordinates for anyone who wants to take a look at thebase built in this particularNo Man’s Skylocation. They also recorded an 8-minute video tour, though they haven’t yet been able to share it with the community.
Many players chimed in, curious to hear tips onhow to build a base like that inNo Man’s Sky, asking Lokeshwarajones to explain how they managed to pull it off. One player was particularly interested in knowing how to build inside natural structures without clipping and terrain/texture issues, as every time they tried, the natural structure would disappear. To this, the player responded that if the ground keeps disappearing near a base, the trick is to place a lot of floor pieces—eventually, the game stops trying to delete the terrain. As Hello Games continues working on the game, players keep experimenting with it, further pushing the limits of what’s possible inNo Man’s Sky.
