No Man'due south Sky: Frontiers New Major Update Details Revealed

I've got to admit; I enjoy writing nigh No Man's Heaven. I've made it abundantly clear when covering some of the many major updates for the game that How-do-you-do Games are a developer worth trusting. I also enjoy when a few mouthbreathers crawl out to say that, somehow, No Man's Heaven is "a scam" and "unfinished" because the developers are all the same releasing content for it - ignoring that such a statement would brand every game always a scam. And, on the subject of new content, we have some details on No Homo's Sky: Frontiers.

Maybe not space, the concluding frontier, every bit nosotros've already been at that place, but somewhere more than personal. YES. I SAID It. STOP GROANING.

And so what of this new update? What is No Homo'southward Sky: Frontiers going to bring?

Every bit the overseer of a settlement, you can assistance it grow, resolve disputes between the settlers within, manage its finances, how it will grow and expand, and fifty-fifty any conflicts the settlement may come up into.
