The core focus of Worlds Part II was to revamp underwater environments. Previously, oceans and lakes were not particularly engaging, with only a few resources and the option to build bases underwater. However, the latest update has transformed these areas into thrilling, mysterious depths.
The oceans are now deeper, with zones of eternal darkness and immense pressure. Surviving these depths requires new suit modules, and a pressure level indicator has been added to enhance the diving experience. The underwater world is no longer dark; bioluminescent flora and fauna now light up the depths, creating a mesmerizing environment.

Accessing these systems requires completing the storyline and acquiring a new type of engine. The rewards are worth it, as these systems contain some of the best resources in the game. Gas giants have a rocky core, and despite the harsh conditions of storms, lightning, radiation, and high temperatures, players can now land and explore these fascinating worlds.
