No Man's Sky players build highways and turn the game into a space garbage truck simulator after Remnant update

The Remnant update for No Man's Sky has transformed Hello Games' space sandbox into something completely unexpected – a garbage hauling simulator with Death Stranding elements. Players have already found ways to make their lives easier, and one of the most inventive methods is building full-fledged highways between junkyards and recycling facilities.

Patch 6.2 added the Gravitino Coil to the game – essentially a gravity gun for the multitool that lets you grab, carry, and throw physical objects. Planets with salvageable materials are now littered with industrial waste that needs to be collected and delivered to new recycling facilities for rewards in the form of nanites and customization options.

The Colossus exocraft received a major overhaul – you can now install a tipping cargo bed, various cabins with unique interiors, tracks, different wheel types, and even mechanical spider legs. An electromagnetic field keeps cargo in place, but on steep slopes the trash still tends to spill out.

The community immediately drew parallels with Death Stranding and Snowrunner. Which isn't such a bad thing. Extra content never hurts, especially when it's free.

However, in the new expeditions, trips between collection points and recycling facilities take 10-15 minutes of real time, and for some unlucky players – up to 45 minutes one way. Cargo bounces around, falls out, and explosive containers can detonate if handled carelessly.

That's why the community has taken up infrastructure construction. User Pyrrhus_98 demonstrated an elegant solution – an elevated highway made of building panels connecting the junkyard to the factory.

Pro tip: find a pile of waste near a recycling facility and build a highway between them.

To complete the expedition, it's important to know a couple of things:

• Double honking (Ctrl on PC, R3 on PS5) activates automatic cargo collection at the factory, but this doesn't count toward expedition objectives – waste must be sorted manually

• Toxic waste (green and black with a three-sphere symbol) goes into the container with purple liquid, radioactive waste (yellow and black) into the central receiver, explosive waste (red and white) into the crusher, and regular scrap metal into the furnace

For completing the expedition, players receive exclusive armor, camouflage paint for the Colossus, an asymmetric cabin, and spider-style mechanical legs.

Beyond that, Hello Games has also improved clouds and added multithreaded rendering for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.
