๐Ÿ‘พ Introduction ๐Ÿ‘พ

Unification Day is a semi-canon, semi-fanmade holiday, which has historically involved civilizations across the simulation. If you're unfamiliar with the history of Unification Day, you're encouraged to learn more about it here!

This year, Unification Day has been organized as a 28-hour base tour with a variety of activities and social events. That means there is no single "Unification Day System" as in past years. We believe this will provide an ideal format to highlight the builds which civilizations put the most time, effort, and spirit into: those in their home-space claims.

While the holiday is all about celebrating civilized space, Unification Day is not a holiday exclusive to members of civilizations. If you're a lone traveler looking to try out some new activities and meet some new people, you're just as welcome here as anyone else!

โฑ๏ธ Schedule โฑ๏ธ

A current copy of the schedule can be found here. All times are in UTC. Locations will be added soon.

The schedule is still being discussed by the Unification Day Planning Council (the heads / staff of involved civilizations). All scheduled events are subject to change for at least the next week. I'll post any updates in both the Discord server and future Unification Day Reddit posts.

The schedule includes exocraft races, starship PVP, on-foot team deathmatches in a city-sized PVP map, a huge variety of minigames like shield wrestling and a maze escape, art and museum tours, and tons of social events and general base tours. The goal was to represent as many civilizations as possible while also providing the greatest variety of activities as possible.

โš ๏ธ Rules โš ๏ธ

All rules apply to both voice chat and regular messages.

  1. No discriminatory, toxic, or otherwise un-fun content. No slurs, no putting down other players' builds (unless constructive criticism is requested), no harassment, no irl politics, etc.
  2. Don't start drama. This is Unification Day, get unified or move on!
  3. No uninvited PVP. (Remember to turn your PVP off outside of events anyway, just to be safe.)
  4. No excessive terrain manipulator use.
  5. No excessively massive pets.

6. โ—โ—โ—DO NOT BUILD A BASE IN ANY UNIFICATION DAY SYSTEM WITHOUT CONTACTING THAT CIVILIZATION'S LEADER FIRST.โ—โ—โ—

Uploading bases in any of these systems could result in negative impacts for that civilization, like decreased rendering reliability or even the entire base no longer showing for visitors. These civilizations are trying to provide a fun time for everyone, please respect their space

One assumes (yes,deliberate) this has origins in firefly? As someone who has this in their steam backlog, is now a particularly good time to start?

The best time to start playing No Man's Sky was yesterday. The second best time would be today.

You know, your coat is kind of a brownish color.
