Sean Murray Teases Three More No Man's Sky Updates

Sean Murray just shared an image of all the No Man's Sky updates... with room for three more.

The sky islands have become a real hit with players, so much so that one fan has decided to spend "forever" building a greenhouse that encapsulates an entire island, making it their own.

No Man's Sky Player Traps Floating Island

Posted on Reddit, user AcoupleofIrishfolk shared their epic new creation, along with a warning for players. They said "Don't get high AF and try and encase a floating island in a greenhouse," adding that "It will take forever and not even look that good."

The greenhouse, which comes complete with a landing pad and solar panels, is raised off the floor by a metal structure and features dozens of glass panels meticulously placed around the island in the sky. Inside the giant structure is the island, which features a pair of trees and a waterfall, which trickles down onto a second, smaller island.

AcoupleofIrishfolk's greenhouse is built on a planet that features an abundance of floating islands. At least at first glance, it looks like the creator picked the island with the lowest altitude to build around, making their task a little easier, even if it still took them "forever".

The creation was met with awe from the No Man's Sky community, with people saying it looks "cool as f**k," "beautiful," and the perfect place for an "interstellar meditation class". It was also compared to the planet from Rick and Morty that houses Rick's secret toilet.

This glass structure isn't AcoupleofIrishfolk's first; the creator shared that last year, they built a ship in a bottle.

The greenhouse is the latest in a line of impressive creations in Hello Games' long-standing hit, with players recently sharing their new-look bases, an entire Cyberpunk-inspired city, and a complete working Mario Kart-style racecourse.
