1) That makes sense.  I was thinking limited base building like 1 per person but I'm not a programmer.

2) if in fact bases are wiped when you leave a planet like you thought then this update is meaningless to me as far as bases go.  The only reason I'd want to build a base is to leave it permanently with people able to see it as a bonus.  Also I'd like it to be an auto warp back function so you could get back easily like a fast track point on the galatic map.

if it disappears after I Spend time building it I won't waste my time building it since exploration is the games point I cant see how staying on a single planet not to lose a base you spent hours on makes any sense at all.

1) Maybe. I'm a programmer, but I don't have any clue on how they will do this, or even how they currently use their "superformula" algorithms in order to generate this whole universe, I can only make conjectures. That's why I'm very curious  

 Thanks Barkley for the explanation I didn't take the time to bring

2) That's what I thought before, because of this video that GG posted (the part that we discuss starts from 2:50 approximately) :

This, and the fact that Sean Murray said that NMS is made for exploration and travelling (if I recall well). He didn't want players to have a base and just stay there.

But since you and GG said that base building is now planned, that's a good surprise and I think that they have a solution in order to keep your base even if you leave the planet.

The MP aspect aside (obviously that'd be nice) if it isn't permanent bases in some way it loses it's meaningfulness for me at least.  What sounded cool becomes useless.  Guess we will see.  I still want a fast track to my base :).  



l <---- Do you mean this glitch Gribble?  If not, I'll keep looking.
