I'm afraid that people unfamiliar with the game won't be able to admire this cathedral

37

u/king0fife 4d ago

That’s me, but I assume the fact that it’s posted here says it was manual, time consuming and well done

11

u/WanderWut 3d ago

Yes, exactly this. This is seriously impressive pull off in NMS.

u/Maryachy 4d ago

I bought this game two days ago and just build my first base of around 10 pieces... I had to go find carbon after every piece and it took me around 45 mins 😂

u/Educational_Card_219 4d ago

Explain it to me?

u/ShwaBdudle 4d ago

I'm unfamiliar with the game

Building in this game is a pain in the ass. It takes so long to get all the materials. I don't know what it's made of, but it looks hard to get.

54

u/pro-in-latvia 4d ago

And I assume all players can see buildings? Like this is a permanent part of the game now and some adventurer will stumble across this planet and find this man made cathedral?

72

u/Skardon_Rydholm 4d ago

Yes, it appears to be a public base that's been published. So assuming you're not playing in solo/offline mode, you could absolutely stumble upon this. More likely it's a featured base from the space anomaly(hub area) and you can simply teleport to it from anywhere.

u/kuda-stonk 2d ago

The statistics of stumbling into the right planet of the right universe is staggering. Something this rare could start a religion.

6

u/Ceshomru 3d ago

Just out of curiosity since I haven’t played in a long time, but does creative mode also require materials for building or is it infinite?

7

u/ImpulsiveDoorHolder 3d ago

No. Creative mode is just that. Creative. No build cost, God mode, but it is offline.you still have to get ships and tools and stuff but their is no cost to the things either.

3

u/simsiuss 4d ago

Can this be griefed? As if it’s can be found of a multiplayer world, most people would want to destroy than admire

13

u/LeviticalCreations 3d ago

Only people given permissions to build within your ‘claimed’ areas are able to alter terrain/structures so that wouldn’t be a concern for the creator

8

u/gomaith10 4d ago

Why are you afraid?

20

u/omahaknight71 4d ago

It's basically a space survival/exploration game with 18 quintillion planets.

u/STL_420 3d ago

I thought you were exaggerating.....

u/DementedTechnician 4d ago edited 4d ago

I don't think it's to difficult like this guy says, think Minecraft

Edit - Ya'll don't like jokes or Minecraft huh?

34

u/themayorangus 4d ago

It's WAY harder. Total pain to get it even close to lined up.

8

u/Maleficent_Size_3734 4d ago

I tried to make a wooden box. That shit was on another level of difficulty, I stopped playing NMS then.

2

u/moreMalfeasance 3d ago

Very easy to dupe any materials still in this game. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt here that it’s legit but either damn way it’s a ridiculous task to complete.

u/Hustlinbones 1d ago

Just visit cologne to see it irl

291

u/forsale90 4d ago

Is it only me or does this look like the Cologne cathedral.

58

u/Fun_Tell_7441 4d ago

Nah, this does look like the Dom.

7

u/B_D_Hadel 4d ago

Nope Dom is square on top, this is more like Cologne.

41

u/Fun_Tell_7441 4d ago

Ok, I worded that a bit shitty. The Cologne cathedral is known as "Der Dom" or "Kölner Dom" in German.

8

u/B_D_Hadel 4d ago

Ohh didn’t know that! Learned something new, thank you.

1

u/Lid12341 4d ago

I came here for that. Just saw the real one a week ago at the overly busy Christmas Market.

8

u/TheRealTr1nity 4d ago

It is.

2

u/obscht-tea 3d ago

It totally is. It even got the shit square in front and the little stairs.

7

u/aphex2000 4d ago

possibly, building this in-game is autism level "alman mit modelleisenbahn im keller"

5

u/Herr_Unterberg01 3d ago

Domblick. Sofort die Miete anheben sonst gibts Ärger.

5

u/seenit_reddit_dunnit 3d ago

Home is where the Dom is..

u/franzee 4d ago

My first thought too

u/PaperApprehensive318 3d ago

just checked through my kitchen window. it is.

2

u/franzee 3d ago

Wow nice view. Close to train station and river and museum of chocolate and everything!!

1

u/PaperApprehensive318 3d ago

it's a bit louder and crowdy but i love it

u/JibbyJibbySound 3d ago

My first thought too

u/pmodizzle 3d ago

First thing I thought of

u/isaacals 4d ago

for me it's the unfinished one in barcelona

1

u/HoeTrain666 3d ago

That one looks different, way more towers. This is much more like Cologne Cathedral

1

u/TheLaughingBread 3d ago

Nah it‘s clearly the Kölner Dom/Cologne Cathedral

u/uselessartist 4d ago

Just you only you

u/Turbulent-Brain-6770 4d ago

That building is so massive and detailed dude accidentally walked into the pillar while trying to look around lol. 100 percent something that would happen in real life 😂

49

u/Shankar_0 4d ago

How did he have enough object count to build this?!

You can't use more than 16,000 parts game-wide

21

u/The_Rock_Hunter 4d ago

Glitch building to make oversized pieces.

7

u/vakr001 3d ago

This is why I stopped playing. Hates glitch building :(

75

u/decompiled-essence 4d ago

Wtf, that's actually incredible.

33

u/Most-Emu-3412 4d ago

I gotta throw on the vr headset and go check this out

5

u/Maryachy 4d ago

Is this whole game playable in VR?!

4

u/Forced__Perspective 4d ago

Yes psvr2

Well that’s how I play it. Not sure if you can play it on pc with other vr headsets.

3

u/Baersouls 4d ago

I can confirm it's part of steam, so any headset that can connect to your computer works!

16

u/TheTrueOrangeGuy 4d ago

Somehow it reminded me of the citadel

11

u/AntonChekov1 4d ago

3

u/Lyakusha 4d ago

No, the other citadel

10

u/ProtectMeAtAllCosts 4d ago

how hard is it to build something like this and is this something you just randomly find while traveling

25

u/businesslut 4d ago

Extremely, you need massive storage and spent a lot of time mining. The actual build probably a few hours, or ten. I had to stop playing because it was occupying so much of my time.

2

u/lunivore 3d ago

If you're in creative or using glitch-building the pieces are free, though it's just as easy to mine carbon and ferrite with your ship for wood and metal, and change the radius of your terrain manipulator to suck up silicon for stone really fast.

This build looks more like 100 hours than 10, unless they used some kind of Blender technique (did it in a 3D modelling tool and converted that into the base Json to paste into the save file). Even rendered though this is impressive.

2

u/moreMalfeasance 3d ago

You can also still duplicate with the portable miners so you can break this game and make it not fun quick. Which sucks because it is an awesome damn game. (Speaking from experience)

8

u/Timely_Diet8305 3d ago

This looks like the cologne cathedral, did it take 600 years to build?

7

u/TheGooseGod 4d ago

Warhammer ass.

5

u/Nippes60 3d ago

Oh man, you did the Kölner Dom 😍

Nice work!

3

u/iamcreasy 4d ago

Do players in No Men's Sky play share persistence map? Can I visit structures like this built by other players in-game?

2

u/kvothe5688 2d ago

yes. everything is persistent. you can stumble up on game based built by other players randomly. also game has some features bases that you can teleport directly via teleporter.

u/Eronney 3d ago edited 3d ago

Has someone exact coordinates? Want to visit :) especially cause im livin very near in real to the dom

u/Auno94 3d ago

Home is where the Dom is

u/tu_ip 3d ago

fucking Kölner Dom

u/Woody_the_Toy 4d ago

This game will be something closer to the developer's original idea in a couple years.

4

u/redditaccount224488 3d ago

It's already been there for a while. It was released about 3-4 years too early, but it's been great for a while now.

u/Big_Iron_Cowboy 4d ago

Got to be mods right? It’s been years since I played but I don’t recall anything capable of creating this aesthetic

2

u/Nemv4 4d ago

No it was done in blender

1

u/Big_Iron_Cowboy 4d ago

I’m lost what is that?

3

u/kixie42 3d ago

Blender is a 3d modeling application used in graphic design. I assume OP means the original plans/build was done in Blender and then built in NMS. Could be wrong though, not sure what Blender has to do with NMS otherwise (Unless they have allowed importing from a 3d model file like a .blend or .obj, but I doubt that?)

Edit: They do allow it: Youtube has instructions.

2

u/Sardil 4d ago

Already closer to completion than Sagrada Familia.

2

u/SprogIsLove 4d ago

How? How? The roofs in that game are so trash so how? I'm flabbergasted.

Amazing, 10/10

2

u/Mickeymcirishman 3d ago

That's pretty cool. Now put it on top of a giant mechanized robot with massive 'fuck you cannons' for arms and send it into battle against the xenos menace.

u/tobaloooo 3d ago

Wtf! Wtf! W T F!

u/metallireducens 3d ago

Thank you sharing my post! Merry Christmas!

u/Nemv4 3d ago

Absolutely dude!!

2

u/Purple-Ad-4629 4d ago

I saw this posted earlier. It was built in some other program if I read it correctly.

1

u/WornInShoes 4d ago

Wow I dabble a little bit in NMS and this would take so much work

Incredible stuff

I haven’t visited the game for a while and I’ll need a refresher on how to use it, BUT I NEED COORDINATES!!!

2

u/Nemv4 4d ago

Visit the OPs profile he drops the coords there

1

u/justbrowse2018 4d ago

Was this built with code? Not like block by block like in Minecraft?

1

u/Nemv4 4d ago

I think this was done in blender and then ported over iirc

1

u/heuristic_dystixtion 4d ago

I hope this renders in a more stable manner than on Valheim. My poor 3060 GPU crashes when I try it.

u/LogicJunkie2000 3d ago

The pews must be stored in the gun

1

u/Happy-For-No-Reason 3d ago

How strange it must be as the creator of this structure to welcome the world in to see.

This must've taken many many hours and been a monument to solitude for all that time until now.
