No Man’s Sky recently dropped the major Atlas Rises expansion, which added new features like quick travel portals, multiplayer, and a much-expanded backstory. Unfortunately, the expansion also added a decent handful of bugs and issues, but developer Hello Games have been doing their best to stamp those out. The latest update adds the ability to teleport between stations, increases the number of paths that can be displayed on your galactic map, and fixes issues, including one that caused save files to bloat out of control.
