Why Starfield needs invisible walls and planet boundaries

It’s actually not exploring the planet TBH. It looks like when you create a landing zone, it creates its own area to explore. If you create another landing zone, it creates a new area to explore. It’s creating hub areas where you decide to land that are their own thing and not really “that spot on the planet”. If you land near a city, for example, you don’t see the city or anything of it. You just see what pre-generated area that was created when you create the landing zone.
