The focus of Worlds Part II was to revolutionize underwater exploration. Previously, oceans and lakes were underutilized, offering little incentive for exploration beyond basic resource gathering and base construction. However, the latest update has transformed these environments into thrilling, challenging frontiers.
The oceans are now deeper, with areas of eternal darkness and immense pressure that require special suit modules to navigate. A new pressure level indicator assists players during their dives, adding a layer of realism and challenge. In these dark depths, bioluminescent flora and fauna create a mesmerizing underwater spectacle.

With these enhancements, building underwater bases has become more rewarding, offering gameplay similar to the acclaimed Subnautica.

The update introduces hundreds of new star systems, including unique purple star systems. These systems feature new oceanic planets and gas giants, expanding the universe's diversity.

Accessing these systems requires completing the storyline and acquiring a new type of engine. The journey is well worth it, as gas giants offer some of the best resources in the game. These celestial bodies have rocky cores and are characterized by intense storms, lightning, radiation, and high temperatures.
