If you had shown me what I’m about to show you back in 2016 when I first played No Man’s Sky, I don’t think I would’ve believed it was the same game. Thanks to the base-building feature that was added shortly after launch, and more importantly continuous updates from Hello Games allowing for incredibly deep base customization, we have creations like this stunning underwater city from Reddit user Pleasant-Disaster837:
“Lost Sunken City” NMS base build. from r/NoMansSkyTheGame
The wildest part about this, to me, is that it seems to have been built without the use of mods, proving the tools available in the vanilla version of the game are enough to make it look completely unrecognizable. I’ll admit, it’s been a few years since I played No Man’s Sky, but this is impressive enough that I’m highly tempted to re-download the game on PS5 and see what the game’s base-building is all about these days.

It’s unclear how much more No Man’s Sky base-building will be expanded now that Hello Games is also working on Light No Fire, although studio founder Sean Murray recently revealed the somewhat disappointing news that only a “tiny” portion of the team is working on the follow-up “in the background.”

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
