Planets map areas made for exploration are custom designed.

Since, according to Flynn, we need the Mako to get from Point A to B in a speedy manner, then it follows that the terrain must allow the
Mako to do so. Now, No Mans Sky may have a procedural algorithm to generate terrain but it also creates chasms and steep escarpments,
that a Mako cannot maneuver in (ie: I'm currently playing the game). Thus, each planet we will visit, via mission or is just available for us
to land in, will be purposely build / designed to permit us to drive our dear and lovable Mako for exploration or just to bring our LI for a
delightful looks at the scenery.

 Now, that's my speculation but I think it makes sense. Otherwise, if you follow Mother Nature's way of doing things, ancient Remnant
Outpost, structures in caves or hidden tech caches would be buried underneath forests, jungles, ice or just made inaccessible due to volcanoes,
tectonic shifts or now under water. I give you our very own Earthly excavations of ancient ruins... be Egyptian, Roman or Dinosaur Bones.

So, our beloved Bio artists have worked their posteriors in these creations and we should acknowledge their work.

Do you guys think that planetary terrain was generated by:
1. The FB3 engine
2. Purposely and manually created with a single biome
3. Made for the Mako.
3. A combo of 1 to 3
4. Other.

Didn't they say there would be hundred's of planets? I don't know if those planets are ones we can visit, or not. If so, that's alot of handmade content.

Tbh, I don't need nor want hundreds of planets to visit. I just want a handful of really good, and interesting ones.

Regardless, do the devs enjoy doing that? I imagine it's like what Monk said. A little bit of both. It's work and can be frustrating when things don't want to cooperate. But how cool is it when it all comes together, and you've created something amazing. That has to be extremely satisfying.

I don't even remember the Hammerhead. Mako, yes, it's there a lot. I agree that Mako actually gives you the needed speed when you try to move places, but then why Mako, not a bunch of mounts? because from what I gathered, they are not going to make us shoot things with it again? So it's not a tank any more? Or are they going to try to tackle the mounted combat as well?
