Expedition 9: Utopia describes the ninth expedition in No Man's Sky.
Summary[ | ]
This page documents the ninth expedition of No Man's Sky, called Utopia. It began on 23 Feburary, 2023.
Gameplay[ | ]
Utopia introduces the Utopia Foundation and challenges players to work together and rebuild a solar system.
The once-affluent system of Bakkin has fallen into decay: trade routes halted, the Space Station abandoned and rotting, intelligent lifeforms departed. Anomalous solar activity prevents the crafting of items beyond the shelter of a planetary base.
Thankfully, for the good of all, the generous Utopia Foundation is coordinating a grand reconstruction project. Join the communal habitation team, settler, and help make Bakkin beautiful and productive once more!
All players start on the Lush planet of New Kehille in the Bakkin system. They are about 1000u from their broken starship, located at a random Point of Interest. The starting starship is a random C-Class hauler with 25+13 slots.
Initially, the player knows only the following blueprints:
- Crafted Products
- None
- Equipment
- Constructed Technology
The starting Multi-tool in Expedition 9 is a random C-class Rifle with 18 slots, and Terrain Manipulator pre-installed.
The Exosuit is initially equipped with a Save Point, Base Computer and a few ion batteries; and has 26+12 slots. The initial avatar appearance is randomly-generated.
