13:25 the thing with animals like abyssal horrors are that they exist on all ocean planets too, regardless of the local ecosystem. it's possible that they, and the other seemingly omnipresent organisms are hyper invasive species that have been spread from planet to planet by starship travel and a deep history of galaxy wide civilization. those little resource plants might also be an example of this, seemingly spreading from planet to planet as their seeds or spores are picked up by traveling starships and merchants. without spoiling too much of the lore, it isn't crazy to think that some of the types of lifeform you can encounter are not natural examples of evolution.

In reality, the abyssal horrors are probably the young of asteroid larvae. I think they spend the first phase of their life growing attached to the seabed attracting prey, then detaching and starting to wander in space feeding on asteroids (or the creatures that live in asteroids). Instead to explain the hostile plants and other living beings that are found everywhere I like your theory a lot.

NMS is the perfect game for this channel, its a great vessel for stories, I wish I could give you the address of a very sad but interesting planet but I've long lost it. (tho that probably doesn't matter as this was before several updates ) I once ended up on a planet that looked like a deserted dirt wasteland, nearly no plants and there where only a handful of animals around 1 lonely pool , the pool looked like it had once been a big lake, but now it was the measly watering hole of what looked like the planets last inhabitants, running around, calling out. it was really disturbing. I know that in practice landing elsewhere on this planet there would be animals spawning in but I desided not too, because what was happening there looked too genuine, like it really was a dying planet. it actually felt like I was the sole witness of a plane't's ecosystem dying breath.

Actually that's how you're supposed to play this game. Explaining not so much (the game explains a lot of it for you when you scan the organisms) but naming is encouraged.

Which is why it's a feature.

You should keep this series up as long as you keep discovering something new to talk about as you play the game. Not to mention it's endless free content

Finally a video of NoMan'sSky after my own heart. Since day one, it's what drew me to the game which only improved. My very first planet was a unforgiving cold storming planet. Which had two layers. The surface level which had HUGE megafauna which looked fat enough to endure the cold storms, and aggressive dragonic sabertooth wolves. Protected by thick carapace hides. It hinted at a ecosystem all on its own. Then a unique part of my first world experience; the ENTIRE planet was also a cave. Pocketed with surface openings. In the caves, there was mostly hostile crab and spider like fungus creatures species in their own separate ecosystem. I had to risk the hostile fauna to escape the frequent storms which was easy to escape due to the entire planet being basically a cave system as well. I think I hot lucky in that manner. Now, ofcourse NMS is so so much better, and the updates destroyed my first world to being different which is sad. But it's for the better. I do this myself when exploring.

I'd love to see you do a Biology video on The Eternal Cylinder. It's the perfect game for you.

You should look at an old ps2 game called Scaler. I love it for the detailed environments. Its nice to just stop and pay close attention to things. In one level I've even seen a plant mimicking a dangerous predator. Of particular interest is a massive flying boss called the rattle crab. For such a big thing to fly, I believe a portion of it is hollow, decreasing weight and doubling as hidey holes for its little babies.

I've always liked the implementation of exploration in NMS, since the beginning. With the overview of one paticullar Starsystem, zooming in on the planets, gaining your first information from orbit and then explore on foot or by exocraft. You really get that fealing of being a field researcher yourself, completing a page of your journal and contribute it. Always being able to view your progress with added extra-information in your log, which feels like a high-end version of a pokedex. This game is and has been phenomenal

7:21 “So the snow snufflers have sniffed their way” wonderful alliteration🤣

Reminds me somehow on my absolute favorite book when I was a little boy 50 years ago: "The Voyage of Herzog Ernst". It's a medieval tale where the protagonist journeys through far lands and encounters similarly strange live forms. It's written in a very fantastic and entertaining way.

I can picture you as some inter dimentional traveler with a Rick and Marty style portal, cataloging the new worlds you find and reporting back to some science base on your home planet. So cool, love this channel

I love how the Archivist had difficulty staying cool on Planet Erebus Truly a beautiful planet, I need a george plush

I love this, the way you named the creatures, narrated like a nature documentary, and used the in-game camera made these worlds feel so real!

Actually at least one theory for some sauropod feeding was the stand and sweep method, where it would keep its head down and sweep it in an arc, eating everything in that arc, then take a step and repeat. Minimum energy expenditure for maximum consumption. The specimens in question had neck vertebrae that would have only really let the neck rest horizontally rather than diagonally or vertically up.

but they do, some tell things about other species and also their past: The Gek used to be brute-sized bird/lizard people who enslaved the korvax and basically committed genocide for the sake of farming their guts. Then the Korvax forced a solution of Nanites (think of this as their blood) down the Geks making them into the small, profit obsessed polite bird people you see. The other race, the Vi'ken raged war against Sentinels, another robotic lifeform who police the dimension with an iron fist, and this happened over centuries and millenia to present, at the same time that they also waged war against the old Gek. A few things that are shown and not told: A Korvax entity isn't strictly tied to their physical body or "shell", a Korvax might seem to fade off or be turn off only for a new digital entity to take over their shell, effectively making it a completely different person. Gek are traders and they secrete smells, pheromones they use to their advantage to be more pleasant to others, or to express fears or even to induce hallucinations for the sake of showing something. Vi'ken are warmongers, but they have a strict code of honor, as much as their behavior might come as aggressive they can be equally loyal and reliable, they hold tradition and lore close to hearth and they also know to let go of grudges, seeing how many of them live along Gek just fine.

Would you ever do a compilation of all of your favorite aliens and organisms you've covered through the history of the channel so far? It'd be fun to see all of the greatest hits of the things you've covered.

Have you seen the game Warframe? They have three regions, Earth, Venus, and Deimos, all with unique biology thousands of years in the future.

I knew they would end it on an exotic world but that was one of the tamest examples of such. I was hoping for animals that were just literal rolling eyeballs or floating scrap metal or something. I loved stumbling on exotic worlds cause they were often so bizarre and illogical. This really would make a phenomenal series to squeeze in between other projects from time to time. The format is perfect for the channel.

I’m not sure if this is your sort of thing, but I think a video about the civilizations within the Three Body Problem Trilogy could be really cool!

My favorite No Man's Sky memory is when I was in my 'time to document shit' phase of my gameplay. Where I was in a desert planet currently going through a super hot sandstorm and I kept seeing these dead giant beetle creatures with skin that looked like boiled chicken, which I named "Boiled Chicken". At first I thought the sandstorm or some kind of unseen predator was killing them cause I kept hearing animal dying noises. Then I found out my mech companion was killing every single Boiled Chicken I passed.

This channel never disappoints
