Been Naming Animals in No Man’s Sky? Don’t Bother!

Many people have been plowing hours into No Man’s Sky since it launched, and some have been flipping tables calling the game a big let down. Personally, I love it, but I didn’t soak up every bit of hype either, so I’m enjoying the exploration and peacefulness that the game offers. Unfortunately, though, I have been spending a lot of time thinking up comical and clever names for my discoveries, especially the animals and now it turns out it was all for nothing.

“So as I got closer to the center I thought to my self I should head back home good thing I set a waypoint on my starting planet to find my way back. I finally made it back after many hours and I found out all my discoveries were wiped and it said I discovered it on the 11th when I started on the 9th.. I check a few neighboring stars I discovered and their discovers were wiped.. So none of my named animals plants were ever saved. The system name and planet names were saved but everything elts was wiped. I’m kinda sad that after heading back that all that I discovered was never really saved except the system and planet names.. Edit:Thanks for the replies, seems like I have to re explore my starting system all over again! Thanks HG!” said redditor Dark_Nexis

It seems that despite uploading your results, data is wiped in chronological order. So your oldest discoveries continue to get wiped as you progress. This is not good for those who are hoping to keep track of their adventure. Overall, it’s not the biggest problem for most gamers, and it does still track system and planet names, but save points, plants, animals, etc, they’re basically temporary, so you may as well save yourself the time and leave the names at stock.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
