Patch notes here:
https://www.nomanssky.com/frontiers-update/
Basically a building update but more as well. Hundreds of new building parts have been added allowing for what will prove to be some more awesome buildings (there is a video out there of some existing ones and they are amazaballs as it is... A crashed deathstar... more parts will definitely let the architects go nuts). There is also a very, very rudimentary town building sim added. It looks like (I'm still downloading the 14gig PS4 update, so not played yet) you can get one settlement (maybe more? Not sure) and the settlement is randomly generated for each player. You become overseer and set the build orders and general direction of the town. The better your town gets, the better the rewards you get from it daily.
It sounds interesting at the least, I'll have to see how it plays.
Also, they announced that Expeditions 3 is 'coming soon' and that one of the rewards will be a 'monstrous pet'. I don't think that means in size but rather the design of the pet will be a monster unique to the expedition. Interesting stuff... I'll update when I have a much better feel for it all.
Edit - Adding the Frontiers trailer:
