BOUNDARY REACHED

[H&K]

So the Planets have boundarys? Please tell me this is not true :(


EDIT2: Boundarys have been reached in 9 minutes on Earth....


EDIT: Please read this and make your own judgement
Further leaks from the Chinese leaker, this one is the most disappointing:

Every time you set a manual landing zone, a new world seed is generated. You aren’t exploring a patchwork of different cells that constitute a planet. You are loading into a procedurally generated, new world space every time you land somewhere new. So, for instance, if you place two landing spots directly next to each other, those both represent two separate world seeds. The globe you see when you get to a planet is an illusion. This means if you land, then walk to the boundary of an explorable area, then reland your ship on the border so you can continue your journey, you aren’t leaving from where you left off, you’re just generating an entirely new procedurally generated worldspace to explore.

Bummer.

planets dont appear to ahve boundries, the distance around your craft has a boundry, you can go to different sections of the planet still after reaching the end.

Landing areas, not planets.

It isn´t true. Planets don´t have boundaries. Sectors on the planet have boundaries. But if you reach them, you can relocate your ship and go on exploring.

"It isn´t true. Planets don´t have boundaries. Sectors on the planet have boundaries. But if you reach them, you can relocate your ship and go on exploring."

It is true. because what you just said fundamentally means when you land it isnt a whole planet, just creating an instance, and when you "move" a new instance is created. It seems clear however that the landing areas are not contigous.

Same thread repeated 4 times now. We know Pete Hines was wrong but rumor has it there is more to the story than that. The NDA keeps people from commenting on it.

Not "wrong", just not full disclosure of details. Not surprising...

they are under nda, they tiptoe on eggshells to release what info is allowed. they thought for a while before stating something like this. dont put this all on pete- hes just a face of the corporation.

The more I look into the worse it is, so there are invisible ways and you are forced to go back to you ship to move to different "chunks"

[Bbqwings]

think of it this way, its the limit you have for the oxygen you have on suit

[katzenkrimis]

The scope of the planets, and this game, are too massive to worry about how far I'm tethered to my ship.

I have more important things to worry about than to measure how many football fields I can run from point A to point B once exiting my ship.

I need to make money.

That's the number one priority.

OP no its not true, the devs made 1000 planet sized objects (not to mention all the floaty stuff inbetween) filled to the brim with unique content, to play it all you would have to live until your 7337 years old. All this for only 70£.

It's part instance and part handcrafted, and depending on what missions you might be doing or what trouble you may have got into, stuff will spawn near you accordingly.

No, I saw the message. It said "Boundry reached - open map to explore another region or return to your ship."

Also it apparently took the guy 40 minutes to hit the boundry. So, if the guy landed in the middle of a square exploration area that takes 40 minutes to reach each side of square from the ship, how big do you think these explorable areas are?

Lets say I get out of my ship, travel north-40 minutes, Now I walk to the southern border, 80 minutes, from there I walk to the eastern border, 40 minutes.... they're huge

you are not smart if u was thinking it would be a total open free galaxy :D its not star citizen rofl

[rybabezwody]

Oh no! I can't run 30-50 thousands kilometers on foot to round whole planet! I must cancel my preorder now!
