Previously underwhelming, underwater environments have undergone a complete metamorphosis. Immense depths, crushing pressure, and perpetual darkness now challenge players equipped with specialized suit modules and a new pressure indicator. The underwater world, however, is far from desolate. Bioluminescent flora and fauna illuminate the abyss, creating a mesmerizing spectacle.

The update extends beyond new planets. All planets have received enhancements: denser jungles, star-influenced landscapes adapted to extreme temperatures, and revamped icy planets with new terrain, flora, and fauna. Extreme geological features like geothermal springs, poisonous anomalies, and geysers add to the diverse and challenging environments. Toxic mushroom spore worlds provide a uniquely hazardous experience.
