In the online game No Man’s Sky, eventually, you leave the starter planet to progress. But one player simply stayed there.
Reddit user DoktorFeelgood didn’t want to repair his spaceship like everyone else to leave the starter planet. He stayed there for 25 hours and gathered everything. This allowed him to acquire 48 ship inventory slots, 48 exosuit slots, and 24 multitool slots. Additionally, he found the blueprint for an Atlas Pass on the planet.
Circumstances on planets can provide many advantages
DoktorFeelgood explains that he was able to find many crashed spaceships, which helped him to expand his ship’s inventory slots. He also visited many trading posts. Since he could mine plenty of gold deposits on the planet, he had enough resources for trading. This is how he also acquired resources that were not naturally occurring on the planet. He also found many drop pods in the area. So, there were some favorable circumstances for him. However, DoktorFeelgood also explains that he struggled with adverse conditions on his planet, as it rained acid 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Nevertheless, he eventually managed to fully upgrade the ship, the spacesuit, and the multitool.
This does not work on every planet. The starter planet is randomly assigned to each player. Therefore, you cannot know the conditions there. Perhaps you might not find any gold and thus cannot trade. Or there are hardly any crashed ships and drop pods. Still, an impressive feat. Have you done anything similar in No Man’s Sky?
