It’s a procedurally generated universe(s). These systems haven’t all been pre-generated, but will rather be generated to explore when a player visits a system for the first time.
Right, but that still counts. Although I guess it’s kind of an “if a tree falls in the forest” question. If the world doesn’t exist unless you find it, was it really there before?
The point is rather how meaningful this statement is. It doesn’t really matter if your algorithm can come up with trillions of ways to place trees, if it’s the same handful of trees it’s still gonna feel samey after the third time.
Why is trillions in quotes? Did they add them or not?

Hmm, true
