[2021] Answer to "does this count as loaded"

Originally posted by legacyrunner25: No man's sky uses a VERY unique algorithm. Every time you load you are actually reloading those terrains as fresh (look at the frustration of players having terrain regenerate into base builds)

I'm over 1000 hrs in NMS and this is the thing that makes me the CRAZIEST. I have a super cool underground base which I have to clear out every time I go there. After doing it a few times I basically just abandoned it. Same with the base I built embedded in a cool pillar on another planet.

Personally, between the two approaches I actually do like VH's better. If you use this mod, and think about your builds before you make them, you can reduce the risk of losing the cool things you create quite a lot - https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/1125
