The update's core focus is a complete underwater transformation. Previously underwhelming, the oceans and lakes now boast incredible depth, challenging environments, and captivating new lifeforms. Specialized suit modules are essential for surviving the crushing pressure and eternal darkness of the deep, where bioluminescent flora and fauna illuminate the abyss.

Shallow waters have also received a visual overhaul, with stunningly reworked lighting. New aquatic species, from playful seahorses to colossal squids, populate these depths, adding a new layer of exploration and discovery. Building underwater bases now offers a compelling gameplay experience reminiscent of titles like Subnautica.

The update extends its reach further, enhancing all planetary environments. Denser jungles, star-influenced landscapes (scorching hot planets adapted to extreme temperatures), and revamped icy planets with new flora, fauna, and terrain all contribute to increased diversity. New extreme geological features, such as geothermal springs, poisonous anomalies, and geysers, add another layer of challenge and intrigue. Toxic mushroom spore worlds present a uniquely hazardous environment.
