I actually laughed out loud. Oh how the strands of fate twist and turn. It's like pottery.

So basically they are hyping people up for an update that will not change anything?

Sounds like another heaping disappointment just like the game itself, well for those that thought it was going to be a good game and somehow think this game can be saved. I knew it was going to be a huge turd long before it even released. Don't know what they could add to the game that would make it less shit anyways.

Base building, in a game where you can't even go back to a previous system, is exactly what was needed.
Now instead of just farming, you will probably need to build a base, and only with it produce the necessary resources to proceed.
And then repeat the same in the next system.

and the base needs to be built in order to build a bigger base whose only use is to let you build an even bigger base.

No Man's Sky comes out of ALPHA into BETA !
http://www.no-mans-sky.com/foundation-update/
Honestly 1.1 seems like huge upgrade over what piece of garbage non 1.1 was. With 1.1 you can do at least something.
Added:
- new resources
- bases which player can build from parts (assuming those new resources will be used on)
- farming (growing those bullshit zinc crops)
- objects need now certain techs to be minable
- freighters which player can buy
- hiring system for bases, freighters etc.
- shitload of QoL improvements. like resources can be 5 time stacked per slot, quick access menu for recharge of shields etc.
- creative/survival mode
- photomode
- proper AA solution (looks waaay sharper than vanilla jaggy mess) and motion blur
I'd say i am surprised. They could just take money and run away but they seem to want to do game some justice.
I think that those features and few other in incoming patches are just features that NMS was supposed to have from day1 but due to delays and shit they had to cut them down for release and release them in patches.
If they will add wingmen and some actual faction warfare then i may consider switching it on again.

I mean this is imo the biggest change:
Generation
At least it should mean that some planets now won't be populated by base/crashsite etc every fucking 2 km and there is actual reason to get those different warp drives (previously you could find any resource everywhere)

No, they just want to sell some more copies with a discount on Autumn and Winter sales.
They probably planned to release it as a DLC for $20, but no one is going to buy it at this point.
