A No Man’s Sky player gets stranded on a planet with no way out, what happened next led the creator to pay tribute
A player was stranded on a lethal planet with permadeath activated, but his story brought the community together.
Although No Man’s Sky was not initially well-received due to the way it was announced, it ended up becoming a game that inspired many stories. Its vast universe allowed players to craft unique narratives, and recently, one user garnered attention for its unique ending.
A gamer was stranded on an inhospitable planet in No Man’s Sky
Recently, Reddit user Spirited_Ad3028 shared his terrible experience. With the permadeath option activated, meaning you cannot return to your previous save once you die, he was stranded on a planet. He was in a terrible situation. The planet was lethal, with no resources or fuel to leave in his ship. Surrounded by an acid storm and environmental poison, and no way to repair his tools. The only option left was to wait for his end amidst the storms.
The situation of this player got the attention of the community, receiving hundreds of comments. Some offered options for escape or suggested preparing a rescue plan through the multiplayer mode. Others recommended taking resources on a suicide mission or teleporting to a better planet through the friends system. This also caught the attention of Sean Murray, the founder and director of Hello Games. He posted an acknowledgment at the end of this player’s story on his X (formerly Twitter) account.
Surprisingly, even though many players offered their help and Spirited_Ad3028 only wanted to share the story of how he finished the game, he shared a few days ago that he had finally escaped the planet. “A Reddit post that received over one million views helped me escape. Someone mentioned dismantling my scanner, which I didn’t even know was possible, to get the last bit of ferrite,” he wrote in his video. What started as a call for help that united the No Man’s Sky community ended with a story of escape. The post also stands as a testament to the storytelling potential of video games and how these randomly generated worlds can inspire it.
