Liminal Opportunities is my 2nd attempt at custom missions for No Man's Sky. This time I'm breaking the game by introducing a new type of Nexus mission available at Space Anomaly - Retrieve Lost Artifact:
A freighter carrying an elusive artifact has dissapeared from Space Anomaly's radars. Nada and Polo are looking for brave Travellers ready to embark on a scavenger hunt in deep space. The explorers will be tasked with surviving the dangers lurking in the lost freighter and retrieving the mysterious item.
DISCLAIMER: this mod does not support any Multiplayer aspect of Nexus missions! Consider it an addon for the singleplayer experience only!
