The core focus of Worlds Part II was the transformation of underwater environments. Previously overlooked, oceans and lakes have been revamped to offer a compelling experience. The depths are now more profound, shrouded in eternal darkness and high pressure, necessitating specialized suit modules for survival. A new pressure level indicator assists players during their dives.
Despite the darkness, the underwater world is illuminated by bioluminescent flora and fauna, such as glowing corals and creatures.

Even the lighting in shallow waters has been enhanced, creating visually stunning scenes.

These changes make underwater base construction more appealing, offering gameplay experiences akin to those found in Subnautica.
New Planets
The update also adds hundreds of new star systems, including unique purple star systems with new oceanic planets and gas giants.

Accessing these systems requires completing the storyline and acquiring a new type of engine. The rewards are worth it, as these systems host the best resources. Gas giants in the game feature a rocky core, where players can land despite the raging storms, lightning, radiation, and high temperatures.
