No Man’s Sky continues to develop and increase with the seemingly limitless updates developer Whats up Video games continues to toss out at no cost. These days, user-made ships have been all the fashion. The vary of choices now accessible for a customized spacecraft has led to some stunning original creations in addition to tributes to traditional ships from different science fiction franchises. However Tosk, an NMS fan who’s been taking part in the sport since launch, lately took to recreating not a ship, however a key location present in Studio Ghibli’s traditional animated movie, My Neighbor Totoro. Try Tosk’s video walkthrough of his creation right here:
I lately DM’d backwards and forwards with Tosk to get a way of the problem of ending a mission like this in No Man’s Sky. Like several worthy endeavor, all it takes is time, perseverance, and, maybe most significantly, inspiration. On this case, that was Tosk’s love of Studio Ghibli movies. “Totoro is my favorite,” he instructed me. “It’s like a warm nostalgia blanket! Such a sweet innocent story of childhood wonders. It [also] has environmental themes but doesn’t hit you over the head with it.”

Tosk kicked off the construct in early 2025. The primary problem? Discovering the fitting planet. Tosk scouted NMS’ procedurally generated universe far and large for not only a appropriate habitat, however one adorned with the fitting “Ghibli green,” he instructed me. That search alone took a month. “I did find about three or four sites that were possibilities,” he mentioned, “but to find the right combination of color flora and a spot where I could build on flat land with a cave nearby a hill above it took a long time.” Only a random paradise planet wouldn’t do.
As soon as he discovered that picture-perfect world, Tosk mentioned it took round 100 hours to place the bottom collectively, a lot of it made “using free placement, so it was put together by hand, which takes a long time. It came in at just under 3000 parts, which is the build limit for uploading in NMS.” Because it was accomplished on PS5, no mods have been used however, as he describes within the walkthrough video, there’s some “scale and color glitching” at work. He additionally “used the film a lot as reference for the floor plan, but the layout changed a bit from shot to shot, so I had to take a few creative liberties.”

Issues have been all going based on plan earlier than a latest NMS replace triggered a couple of issues. “I was about 90-percent finished,” he mentioned, “when [the last update] reset a lot of the colors of the building. So I had to go back and rebuild a lot of it. I nearly gave up on it then, to be honest.”
Fortunately, Tosk endured. Sadly, attributable to a difficulty with the sport proper now, customers can’t go to Tosk’s creation with out him additionally being on-line and current within the space. However even when that situation is fastened, you’ll must do some work to search out Totoro’s location. The planet is within the Istentam galaxy, however Tosk has intentionally hidden the glyphs needed to search out it in his tour video.

I used to be curious what mission is subsequent for Tosk. “I’ve been thinking about making the floating island from Laputa: Castle in the Sky,” one other Studio Ghibli joint. “But to be honest,” he mentioned, the Totoro construct “has taken so long that I might just play for a while.”
