Developer [Hello Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-mans-sky-1) unveils the latest Orbital update to the No Man's Sky game recently, adding [computer-generated space stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4d-creation). There is a ship editor and a Guild system that is integrated into the [space exploration sim](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dont-nod-aphelion). Until this update, the space stations have been part of the few sections that the platform wasn't creating and randomizing using algorithms to maintain a unique approach.

With the new update, that takes a turn as it uses the game engine to “create vast interior spaces and exterior spaces, with improved reflection and metallic surfaces.” The broader scale is more prominent from the outside whilst the interiors will feature new shops, games, and activities. Hello Games describes this as “uniquely customized” based on the inhabitants' locale, system, and race.
