Continuous World Generation in No Man's Sky

In this 2017 GDC talk, Hello Games' Innes McKendrick presents a study of the technical architecture of No Man's Sky, focusing in particular on the techniques used to generate planets and the supporting structures allowing this to happen continuously in real-time.
