I still haven't found a completely empty planet, there is always outposts, abandoned mines or caves with space pirates or other factions. Every time I walk to a point there is like 3 more points you can just explore endlessly
That's false as moving away from your ship a certain distance (I think 6 or 7 km), it'll literally tell you you've reached the boundary of the area and you need to land somewhere else to get a new stretch of land.
Yeah but that's a long walk, I usually do about three or four locations and I'm over encumbered, maybe once my ship is upgraded and can store more junk I can stay on planet longer
No! That's impossible! I was told by people who played less than an hour if at all that you simply can't walk or fly anywhere and MUST fast travel everywhere.
This particular point really annoys me, I'd love to have somewhere that actually feels remote, where I don't have four more copies of the same mining and science outposts in visual range. No matter how large humanity has become it just doesn't make any sense that you can't find a single ~15km square without anything man made on it.
The best remote places I've found so far has been in some quest-specific areas, but even then there's usually a facility somewhere within a kilometer of the quest location.
Yeah I had the same thought, the caves and stuff are cool but finding so many abandoned outposts full of people is kind of weird
Especially on planets supposedly never surveyed by anyone ever.
We came here and set up a secret medical research laboratory, and have since abandoned it, and not once did we have the area surveyed
I totally agree, I wish there were actually some barren planets without POIs.
