Mysterious Depths

The core focus of Worlds Part II was to revitalize the underwater environments. Previously, these areas were largely overlooked due to their lack of excitement. Now, oceans are deeper and more mysterious, enveloped in eternal darkness with intense pressure that challenges players to survive. Special suit modules have been introduced to aid in these perilous depths, with a new pressure level indicator to guide you during your dives.
In these dark waters, bioluminescence is key. The flora and fauna have evolved to emit their own light, creating a mesmerizing underwater world. Coral reefs and creatures glow with an inner light, transforming the ocean into a spectacle of natural beauty.

With these enhancements, constructing underwater bases has become a more engaging and strategic element of gameplay, echoing the immersive experience found in games like Subnautica.
New Planets
The update introduces hundreds of new star systems, including the intriguing purple star systems. These systems host new oceanic planets and other celestial bodies, such as gas giants.

These planets have a rocky core surrounded by perpetual storms, lightning, radiation, and extreme temperatures, making them a thrilling new frontier.
