A nature documentary deep dive into the aliens of No Manā€™s Sky. What sort of ecosystems will we discover in a procedurally generated universe?

Across the infinite cosmos of the video game ā€˜No Manā€™s Sky,ā€™ there are a similarly infinite number of alien lifeforms. Through the use of procedural generation, the game contains more than 18 quintillion planets to discover ā€” many of which teem with extraordinary creatures. While No Manā€™s Sky had a rocky reception at launch, the developers have done persistent work making this virtual universe worth exploring.

So, for this entry into the archive, weā€™ll embark on a classic documentary-style expedition, exploring the lives of extraterrestrials on scorching worlds, frozen wastelands, and many others. Iā€™ll also speculate on how the biology of each lifeform might feasibly work. I admit that there are a few too many total planets for this Archivist to document, so this documentary will focus on only the most interesting ones Iā€™ve discovered.

Now, letā€™s set off into the unknown, and see what awaits us among the starsā€¦

Gotta love how he broke his usual documentarian persona to chuckle and name a creature ā€œGeorgeā€.

This could be a series itself. So many planets, so many creatures. Perhaps we could be visiting worlds found by longtime players.

I love how you literally get to archive never before seen species on this expedition. Getting to name them and figure out their lifestyle from your own observations and experiences, rather than someone else's is a real treat to see!

I like doing this as well - taking fictional critters and coming up with how they function in their environment, even, or especially, when the developers aren't even trying to be deep and sciency. I'm currently working on a challenging project of taking creatures from Kirby games, tweaking them to be more physiologically plausible, and thinking up facts about them.

No man's sky is the treasure chest of speculative biology.
Litteraly you could be the first person to ever discover a creature in this game since there are almost infinite planets.

No mans sky is one of the best games ever made imo. It still needs a few things here and there but if you're into scifi and space exploration I highly recommend it, plus there's other things to do like owning a pet or trying to collect space whales for your fleet

An archivists natural habitat!

No but actually there's literally infinite possibilities for videos no matter what with this game

I discovered a mineral-rich planet dotted with floating crystalline monoliths. Life on the planet appeared to be silicon-based living crystalline clusters that floated about and were quite shy whenever I came close to them.
Also, due to super easy-to-find resources for assembly and awesome jumping capabilities, the Minotaur is my absolute favorite exocraft.

Another video on the biology of the living ships, horrors of the derelict freighters/stations, the mutants that can be found on the planets with no atmospheres, aberrant exotic type worlds, and the occasional random entity moving through space would be greatly welcomed additions to the archives. They are rather curious entities after all.

13:25 the thing with animals like abyssal horrors are that they exist on all ocean planets too, regardless of the local ecosystem. it's possible that they, and the other seemingly omnipresent organisms are hyper invasive species that have been spread from planet to planet by starship travel and a deep history of galaxy wide civilization. those little resource plants might also be an example of this, seemingly spreading from planet to planet as their seeds or spores are picked up by traveling starships and merchants. without spoiling too much of the lore, it isn't crazy to think that some of the types of lifeform you can encounter are not natural examples of evolution.

Komodo dragons arenā€™t actually a result of island gigantism. From what I understand, theyā€™re the last of an informal group of sizable monitor lizards. Compared to their now extinct relatives, theyā€™re actually relatively small.

NMS is the perfect game for this channel, its a great vessel for stories, I wish I could give you the address of a very sad but interesting planet but I've long lost it. (tho that probably doesn't matter as this was before several updates )
I once ended up on a planet that looked like a deserted dirt wasteland, nearly no plants and there where only a handful of animals around 1 lonely pool , the pool looked like it had once been a big lake, but now it was the measly watering hole of what looked like the planets last inhabitants, running around, calling out.
it was really disturbing.



I know that in practice landing elsewhere on this planet there would be animals spawning in but I desided not too, because what was happening there looked too genuine, like it really was a dying planet. it actually felt like I was the sole witness of a plane't's ecosystem dying breath.

Could we have a look at the biology of the Half-Life franchise? Particularly the aliens and plant life of Xen, as depicted in the Black Mesa fan-remake.

I find it fascinating that youā€™re naming and explaining randomly generated planets and creatures 18:55 lol George I love him

Would you consider doing a part two or more of the fascinating creatures in No Mans Sky? I absolutely LOVED this entry into the archive! Also, did you come across any pre-discovered planets or were you able to play the name game on all of them? You really rocked that, by the way ;-) Plus I chuckled pretty hard at the ā€œGeorgesā€ species.

I'd love to see you do a Biology video on The Eternal Cylinder. It's the perfect game for you.

You should keep this series up as long as you keep discovering something new to talk about as you play the game. Not to mention it's endless free content

I love NMS, but I wish we'd have a way to increase the amounts of species that can appear on a single planet.

Five animals and three plant species per planet just doesn't feel right

I hope this is a series. This would be so fun
