nms-modding

[round sinew]

sorry, not finding the best words in english to describe it i guess

arghhh

[vale iron]

I'm on my laptop, which doesn't have the greatest fidelity

[vale iron]

I kind of see some aliasing type issues, I guess that's how I would explain it. It's really faint though

[round sinew]

yeah

but in game it's really visible

anyway

this might be a vanilla issue for sure

i admit i didn't notice it before , but just because i didn't you know, summoned helios yet that much

[vale iron]

It's possibly an artifact from the mod, but more likely a vanilla issue. The mod is made by just hue-shifting the existing image file

[hearty wasp]

That's colour banding which is weird

If you're using FSR it's maybe that

Else it maybe a shader thing fucking up calculations?

But yeah looks like it's being calculated at a low resolution

[steel crypt]

@round sinew You around?
Is this mod you are talking about with the pics something you can DM me or give me a link to? I can see if I notice anything that might cause an issue.

[round sinew]

yeah, using FSR atm.

good one, i'll test to see if it happens without

[round sinew]

it's Gumsk's helios pet reskin https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2421

[steel crypt]

Does the same thing happen with the vanilla version?

[round sinew]

haven't noticed sorry because i've only summoned the pet a couple of times

but i will test in vanilla as well

[hearty wasp]

then yeah it's def playing a part

cos FSR's upscaling from a lower resolution

[round sinew]

yeah, will try disabling it for sure, and report back

[wide kernel]

can you use mods on multiplayer?

[unique crest]

yes

only real issue is terrain mods

[balmy willow]

why not just spawn the ship in and trade it to him

[keen atlas]

Sorry companion egg to clarify not void egg

[gritty anvil]

anyone know why it's doing that? never bugged out on me before today

i don't know what that reaction means 😦

[balmy willow]

Ooh. Im pretty sure u can trade the cracking ones? I have a couple i think if u wanna try it

Tho if ur friend only wants a specific type then ye nvm

[keen atlas]

Yeah thats the crux of the issue, its for a research project in attempting to decode the seeds and colors of the nexus eggs, a new pet project (pun intended) of NMH @rare escarp brainchild

[clever dune]

Does anyone know of a mod that removes needing materials for base building?

[fluid solstice]

What about playing creative game mode?

[clever dune]

Because I want to build the base in a normal mode save I have but I really don’t wanna spend hours just to gather materials lol

Aka I’m lazy

[shy grove]

can use a save editor. get yourself any material you want for free

[clever dune]

yeah i know, but having to reload my file every time i add a material is kinda annoying 😅

ah, found one!

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2416

[grizzled gust]

If u guys have cheats.....gime me stuff 😃👍

[clever dune]

Like what kind of stuff

Items, maxed out ships, whatever else?

[grizzled gust]

Money?

[grizzled gust]

How u wold give me a ship

[clever dune]

Ok so, there’s a cheat for infinite currency (units, nanites, and quicksilver); download WeMod and make an account, and then press the key binds to activate the cheats

As for a ship, I can duplicate one of mine and simply deliver it by warping to whatever system you’re in, selling it to an NPC in a space station, and then you’d buy it off the same NPC with the infinite money cheat activated

[wide kernel]

ayo, has anyone ever here ever hatched a void egg'

[clever dune]

Yep! They give you a living ship

Which are hard to get but really cool

[clever dune]

I can also make the ship to whatever type you want and max out it’s base stats, but I cannot customise the parts or colours the ship actually has, unless you find a ship you like and find what seed it has, which I can enter into my save editor to change it’s parts and colours

[grizzled gust]

Oh thats cool

But i cant cheat cus Im a Xbox user

[clever dune]

Ahh dang

[grizzled gust]

Still works tho?

[clever dune]

Well, WeMod does have an xBox version

[grizzled gust]

How?

[clever dune]

Though I’m not sure how it works

[grizzled gust]

But u can like give a ship without me inslalling cheats?

@clever dune

[clever dune]

oh yeah lol

lets talk about this more in a DM so that we can get this channel back on topic lol @grizzled gust

[grizzled gust]

Ye ok

[unique crest]

Anyone interested in testing a hardcore modpack playthrough let me know.

[lusty nymph]

[hearty wasp]

you can still edit your save, that's not an excuse

[grizzled gust]

How?

[hearty wasp]

https://github.com/cengelha/NomNom

[grizzled gust]

Tutorial ?

For installing on Xbox

[hearty wasp]

You move the save onto your PC and then edit it on PC

[grizzled gust]

What If i dont have Pc

Some people Said they can put a ship for me

With some edited tings on it

[hearty wasp]

NMSSE operates on the same principle and works on MacOS

[grizzled gust]

No i dont have any ting that works like a pc

[hearty wasp]

NomNom should be portable so you should be able to go to someone who has a PC and use it I guess

[grizzled gust]

Bruh

I Give up

Someone Said that he can make a ship for me fully edited

[hearty wasp]

Cool

Begging rarely gets any success in this channel tbh

#nms-questions may yield more success

If you want eggs there's https://metaidea.github.io/nms-service-app/

[grizzled gust]

Cold anyone give me a edited ship?(dont wanna beg )

[pulsar pike]

wdym by edited?

[grizzled gust]

Like a exotic with T3 slots and a solar engine

[pulsar pike]

T3?

[night adder]

@grizzled gust Not possible to transfer to another player, must be save edited in for yourself

There's an exploit thatll allow you to put a Vesper Sail on any type of ship, though.

[void rivet]

hacking boy why?

[clever dune]

Why not

I only really did it because many things take too long in the game to do

[void rivet]

aka creative mode

then what can it do

oh god

thats alot of cheats

💀

[void rivet]

take your time instead of hacking

[clever dune]

I don’t have time 💀 that’s the problem

[void rivet]

lol

still

instead of super jetpack speed

take your time

[clever dune]

Also I already beat the game, and that’s only when I started hacking is after I did everything I could

[void rivet]

[deft halo]

There are mods?

[marsh eagle]

I also have a friend whos dying in a few months due to multiple sclerosis. He just doesn't have the time to grind for good stuff, items, ships, multitools. Let the people enjoy their game the way they desire. Same with using mods

[marsh eagle]

Yes years of modding history

[hearty wasp]

I will dig a hole size of the Hiroshima Blast at the center of your base

[deft halo]

So is it a pc thing only or can ppl join on it bc ik there is cross plat

[marsh eagle]

You can in a very limited way soft mod on consoles by editing savefiles with the right tools or receive otherwise impossible pet eggs etc. But nothing more than that

So in essence yes pc only

[void rivet]

how do i mod a the game

[hearty wasp]

there're instructions inside https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Mods

[void rivet]

thanks

will it work in vr?

im installing the fps boost mod

[void rivet]

how will i know if it works

[hearty wasp]

if it's just an fps mod

you don't

VR modding requires bypassing the mod warning

you should search for something VR specific on Nexus

by searching the term

"VR"

[void rivet]

it works

[hearty wasp]

Cool

As long as you think it's working there's no issue I suppose

[granite torrent]

Is it possible to get sentinel fighters

[hearty wasp]

not in vanilla

try gShip custom ships

[hushed bronze]

I recently tried to start up my old versions and they all do the same thing, they don't load shaders right or something and the stars in the load screen dont appear, all black, seems the only graphics working are UI elements. Anyone familiar with this problem, have any ideas? (not "delete the shader cache" I already tried it, thats no help)

I suspect it has something to do with expecting Vulkan or booting on an RTX card or something stupid like that

[marsh eagle]

What version exactly ? I also had problems with starting old 1.24 pathfinder. Modern nvidia driver just don't allow some depreceated opengl calls anymore

[round sinew]

https://www.phoronix.com/news/Zink-Windows-Kopper-Progress

perhaps this might be useful in the future

basically, TL;DR, it's a translation layer from OpenGL to Vulkan

possibly be used to run older versions on vulkan/latest drivers

[marsh eagle]

Thanks bk201 that is great news but how do we use these drivers and where do we get them ? The best thing would be a opengl32.dll proxy file you just drop into the binary folder

[merry wasp]

Try PTSD

[vagrant tundra]

Can anyone help me out with how .lua files work? I have to tweak the .lua file of exosolars beyond base building, I opened it and edited it, but what do I do afterwards? do I export it as a .pak file? Do I put the .lua file into the mod folder aswell? What exactly am I supposed to do?

[vagrant tundra]

Nevermind, already figured it out :)

[silver heron]

Hi. I recently got this game and I'd like to know to what extent it can be modded, I'm disabled and reading text is difficult, so I'd like to mod the game to make it support screen readers.

[hearty wasp]

doubt that can happen without jacking into memory

there's the NMS API but it's not widely utilised atm

[vagrant tundra]

when I'm scaling up power doors all the way to the max size I can't seem to be able to connect them to a cable anymore.. if I make it like 10% smaller than max size then it still works.. anyone might know what causes this issue?

[hearty wasp]

scaling disables snapping

vanilla feature

used to just leave the snapping unscaled

[vagrant tundra]

but I'm standing in a base rn that someone built where it works just fine

[hearty wasp]

if that's the case then maybe the snap point is inside the model

or collision

maybe try the Blender Base Builder

[vagrant tundra]

I'm looking at the power door in this base and I don't see the snapping points aswell, I have absolutely no clue how they connected it

[hearty wasp]

there may be a glitch associated to it

but I'm not familiar with those

if beeblebum has a discord that'd prolly be the place to ask lol

[round sinew]

not a windows user myself, so i'm not familiar with that bit, but i don't mind looking into zink from that perspective for a while, perhaps i can figure out how one sets things up, make games use it etc.

[lime mesa]

Hey does anyone have a dragon egg?

[meager cedar]

Hi all, new to this channel, so just going to mention I’ve only played a week.
I just wanted to ask. I don’t like to use mods at all but I saw a video last night whereby the character clicked on a refiner and there was no point of view alteration. Is this a mod or do some platforms PS5/PC/Xbox operate differently?

I mainly ask as the POV swirling is making me feel really sick!!!

[vale iron]

It's most likely a mod, as I know there is a setting for that that could be modded. I don't know of a public one that does that though. Have a look through Nexusmods and see if you can find something. If not, I might be able to make something this weekend.

[meager cedar]

I hear a lot of people complain about it. It’s a very weird design choice by HG imho.

[spiral falcon]

@quasi garden ok hear me out i had a dream that someone made a nuke mod where it was a modded rocket launcher that shoots omega sized explosives lmao what do you think should we petition someone to make it? XD

[smoky cloak]

I would love nuclear technology in no mans sky

a use to all my uranium

and a nuclear reactor would be yummy

[spiral falcon]

yes exactly

refine uranium into fissile uranium

9999:1 ratio

just like irl

[hearty wasp]

we can do that with a simple change to the geometry cannon

[spiral falcon]

:0

[hearty wasp]

it's been a joke for years which we can make a bomb that creates literal craters via very simple changes

we just never do it because we don't actually like griefing

[rapid sandal]

See: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2209

The author also did other variations that launched explosives.

[wheat stump]

hey this channel seems to be the most appropriate one for this query: has anyone developed a software to map a hotas to no mans sky controls? i know you can use steam to map stuff to an xbox controller but that seems to be really finnicky and my setup just doesnt seem to like it. if theres another channel i should go to please direct me

[keen atlas]

Whats the trick to powering big scale glitched items like portals that lose wire snaps when large?

can be hard to get someone to test a mod frfr

[grizzled gust]

Anyone can trade a Golden vector with me

Just edit save and make a npc trade

[grizzled gust]

I can give the golden vector file If u need

[hearty wasp]

I recall mentioning this last time you asked https://metaidea.github.io/nms-service-app/

you can use it for consoles

[grizzled gust]

Golden vector have his own model It cant be recreated by ship seeds

U can recreate It but its not the same

I Did but the original is better

posted there to but most people up there are mod averse

[hearty wasp]

yeah those ppl are p sad

[brazen maple]

Is there a mod so that the engines on the horizon fighter wings also have a trail?

[hearty wasp]

no but it wouldn't be hard to add em

not that people are gonna make it

[brazen maple]

Oh

I wanna make one now but idk how to code

if you wanna start learning you can always join the modding discord

[brazen maple]

Oh thanks

[vale iron]

I've got one that I only released as part of gEpic. I can pack it up for you if you want

[robust bluff]

do we have mod that makes quick menu prioritise gel/battery rather than raw mats when we have both in inventory?

[brazen maple]

Oh that’d be great! I’d love that

[rapid sandal]

Hmm, in METADATA/REALITY/TABLES/NMS_REALITY_GCTECHNOLOGYTABLE.MBIN may be able to just change the order of items e.g.

        [41] GcTechnology
            ID = "SHIPSHIELD"
            ...
            ChargeBy List<NMSString0x10>[3]
                [0] "CATALYST1"
                [1] "CATALYST2"
                [2] "SHIPCHARGE"

may be able to just reorder ChargeBy so SHIPCHARGE is first.

[robust bluff]

thanks. i will looking into this

[rapid sandal]

If you want I can do a quick script if you want to test a pak

[robust bluff]

sure,really appreciate it if you can do that

[brazen maple]

Any way to make the stealth starship trail more visible? The middle part blends in with the surroundings too much and it makes it look like there’s two tiny trails coming out from each thruster

[rapid sandal]

either replace the texture, or possibly alter the material mbin or something. I'll look into it once I finish testing the SHIPCHARGE sorting.

[rapid sandal]

If there are mult products or substances it doesn't preserve their order, it just ensures products are listed before substances.
Will conflict with any mod that changes METADATA/REALITY/TABLES/NMS_REALITY_GCTECHNOLOGYTABLE.MBIN
Let us know if it works.

[robust bluff]

i will try this later when i got home. thanks alot!

[brazen maple]

Oh ok

[rapid sandal]

going to look into it now

[brazen maple]

Great

[rapid sandal]

May need to edit this texture to make the middle lighter or the sides darker. don't think changing a mbin will help as it would make entire thing lighter or darker.

[brazen maple]

Oh ok

How so?

[vale iron]

It only does fighters; I got bored before doing the other classes 🙂

[rapid sandal]

you'd have to extract the item from the game pak file, edit the dds, then put new dds in a mod pak file. multiple tools can help do this, I'll explain how to using nmsmb:

• open nmsmb, load game data (~12 sec).
• goto one of the PAK Item tabs and view the path I posted to see the same thing.
• click save on toolbar to save dds to disk
• use Paint.NET to edit and save dds
• put new dds in a new script folder in nmsmb, build as new mod pak

[brazen maple]

Ah ok, I’ll try it out later, thanks!

[rapid sandal]

think they want to change existing trail (reduce contrast between middle and sides for stealth), not add missing .... or do they also need to add missing so stealth shows on some ships ?

[vale iron]

Yeah, two separate requests, one to add trails to the wings on the fighter, another to make stealth trail more visible

[unique crest]

I hate you so much right now... i've been trying to get this to work for 2 days. not the omega sized rockets part but terrain deformation from rockets... i can get them to do it but it's not consistent yet

now consistent have to work on scaling at range cause it just doesn't work passed about 200u

[brazen maple]

Oh ok thanks, I needed it for a fighter anyway

[rapid sandal]

mine does basically the same sized crater regardless of what I've tried. I'm leaving mine as it is. Let us know if yoy figure out how to make the crater bigger.

[spiral falcon]

:DDDDDDD nukes progression pog

[unique crest]

i figured out how to make it bigger but it involves changing grenade craters bigger so... unless there is a way to add a grenade2 animation =/

[hearty wasp]

The terrain's prolly not loaded past that distance

[unique crest]

yeah i've noticed if the ground texture isn't loaded it doesn't make a crater AS often

ngl rockets animation is pretty butt aimed below the horizon line. they only go like 50u then disappear.

@magic lava Dude, you like cookin' in NMS right? I just found out that 3D food printing exists. I even found one that thanks to a generous array of wide nozzle sizes and wide cartridges – can even print out chunky burgers laced with cranberries, walnuts, and the like. It even cooks it with lasers.
So, in theory you could make a mod/API hack that would print the NMS food when you "cook" it in-game. 🤯

You could also print the Nutrient Processor as a housing for the food printer. Crazy I tell ya, crazy.

[dense tide]

Hey guys i wanna confirm smthin, if i download a mod and play on a new save without touching the other save files the untouched save file will still be clean right? As long as i dont create a save with a mod inside that save

[robust bluff]

i think so

as long you didnt open it

[dense tide]

Okei

[night adder]

A lot of mods have no permanent impact on saves whatsoever, any of the visual enhancements, accelerated timers, and class spawn increasers,for example, can be used on a save, and as soon as disabled the save is indistinguishable from a vanilla one.

[magic lava]

Theory?

Isn't that what everyone does when they cook in game?

[hearty wasp]

nope

I personally put in the aluminum and red phosphorus myself when cooking

so that I never forget about the aluminum

[fluid solstice]

I just decided to try combining some mods by setting up load order so I hope my game doesn't 💥 from it.

[glass fulcrum]

is modding cheats bannable?

[hearty wasp]

You know nothing lmao

You can play with mods on mp

no i mean like

[hearty wasp]

Only one or two people's ever get banned and that's for hacking their consoles

[glass fulcrum]

can i get banned if i were to give myself s tier stuff via mods

[hearty wasp]

No

[glass fulcrum]

pog

thx

[hearty wasp]

You never get banned

[glass fulcrum]

yea i read about someone who got banned coz they were harrasing the devs

[fluid solstice]

I never heard about anybody getting banned for using any type of mods. Maximally you get desynchronized with other players, which means that they might not see things which you see.

[inner nest]

Thank you to whoever told me about that save editor. I am now obsessed 😅

Are there any quality of life mods that you can’t play without now? I haven’t messed with any mods yet. Only the save editor

Can I do it on psn?

[inner nest]

Umm I think there is a way but not totally sure. Probably entails pulling the save off to a pc to do the editing I would guess

[eternal bane]

Hmm

[inner nest]

According to the save editor GitHub you need a thing called save wizard

[jolly stag]

I would seriously pay a modder 100 bucks to figure out a mod for searching settlements faster

[rapid sandal]

[ebon gale]

does anyone know of a mod that completely removes the no edit permissions error when multiplayer is disabled?

kinda tired of the BS of not being able to find a spot to put down a portable refiner in expedition due to arbitrary base radii

So you want a mod that allows you to build on another's base radius.

Just move further away.

[lime mesa]

is there a mod that will allow me to filter bases by economy/other stuff in teleport UI

[hearty wasp]

nop

[lime mesa]

any ideas how one could go about creating something like it

[hearty wasp]

can't

[lime mesa]

how come

[hearty wasp]

game doesn't provide the functions that we can utilise

we can't add new functions without accessing and manipulating the memory

and that shit hard

[lime mesa]

is the base data stored in save file?

I was wondering if one could provide an overlay with w/e you need or something along those lines

anyway, thanks

[hearty wasp]

you can manually sort the order of the bases displayed with save editing I think

not familiar with it tho

[fluid solstice]

I like Better Planet Generation, which adds more objects to the planets, so it makes them more interesting to interact with and explore. And also each region can spawn some different objects. And what it does can also be beautiful. There are two problems with it though. First, minor one is that it spawns some objects used for underwater areas outside of water. But I don't mind it as it makes some planets feel alien. And second and major issue, it changes biomes of planets when compared to the vanilla. Which means that while you have the mod installed, the planet which you have already explored might be completely different. And also your discovery of the planet might disappear when you switch mod/vanilla.
In case of multiplayer also modding planet generation means that you and players might see different stuff.

Also for some reason people complain that the mod crashes for them in some planetary types (even developer of the mod said it himself), yet so far I had no crash.

I also tried Redmas fantasy assets, which too should be changing planetary generation, but I didn't like it much as it just overlaps planets with too many assets.

Redmas did other mods though, like giant worm and creature overhaul. This one seems to be fine to me, but I had to remove the DNA rework of the pack, as it broke my flyer companions.
And I also use his Derelict freighter generation overhaul, but some stuff it generates is too loud that you can hear it everywhere during your derelict adventure.

[magic lava]

Vanilla game puts underwater assets on land

Exotic stuff too, on "normal" planets

[fluid solstice]

Also if you want to check out some mod, you should first check if it was updated for the latest update. As if it's outadated, it might cause game crashes.

For Nexus mods you can sort there mods by "trending" ones.

Big shame is that there is one mod which seems to spawn huge space creatures, but it's dead.

Was made for Next.

I was looking if there is any way to port old mods for the newest NMS version and so far found that it can be only done if the mod has lua files through some tool. As other way would be probably to unpack mod, recompile it in the newer version.

This one.: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/558

[inner nest]

Appreciate the response

[hushed bronze]

Any light enhancing mods up to date at the moment? (Not Lo2k's relight)

[steel crypt]

I really don't know what's out there right now dude. There's a mod in DUD'S SKY (MOD_DUD_StandLightBright_v3641) that does the stand lights that you build and the ones at a trade post.

[lime mesa]

any mutliplayer-compatible mods that allow me to build items on my freighter I can't normally put, such as biodomes or a minotaur geobay?

[vale iron]

gBase or Beyond Base Building

If you use gBase, you need to use gBase Items Basic variant for full multiplayer compatibility

[lime mesa]

alright

so according to this message I need to use the mods folder under PCBANKS, but there's no mod folder there #nms-modding message

wait, I probably have to create the folder for it lol

[dark linden]

So I know this is somewhat covered in AMUMSS documentation, but not fully. Anyway, I have two conflicting mods. One only has pak, other one has pak and lua. So I put the pak from the former and lua from the latter in ModScript. First question: how do I set the priority? Just by renaming files? Second question: the file I get after combining, the patch, what is it exactly? What did it merge? Do I still have to use it together with and load it after that pak only mod, but without the one that had lua? Or do I still need both mods and the patch?

[hearty wasp]

1. Add tildes (~) at the beginning of the file name. More tildes = more priority
2. It only merges and contains the files that were conflicting, so you may need the original pak in the MODS folder as well

And yes technically both of those are mentioned in the documentation

The first one is in the load order doc and the second in the patch creation doc

Tbf AMUMSS does have a lot of docs

[dark linden]

Don't recall anything about what it actually merges and what I need to put into mods folder after patch is created.

So what do I put in there? Both mods and a patch? Only mod that didn't have lua and a patch?

[hearty wasp]

the latter should suffice

per

the plural referring to multiple paks that need to be patched, not the ones with luas for use

[dark linden]

Thing is, there can't be more than one PAK in ModScripts at the time.

Yeah.

[hearty wasp]

there can't be more than one pak per conflicting mbin in ModScripts

[dark linden]

Also I think AMUMSS can copy everything for you.

Thanks!

[dark linden]

Yeah, those questions were truly stupid. One look at a txt file created alongside the patch clears it all up. And I read it all before, yet somehow still got confused.

[hearty wasp]

They're not the best written literature

That's why we make mods instead of Pulitzer articles

[steel crypt]

DUD'S SKY updated v3.99.2
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/507

[royal trout]

is there a mod that mutes the sound of personal refiner?

and uhh performance improving mods?

[robust bluff]

iirc there are mods that mute most of random sound ingame,i forgot the name but you can find it on nexus.

[hearty wasp]

^

try search for key words such as "mute", "quiet", "silent"

[dark linden]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2448

[dark linden]

Haven't seen any. What are your specs, target resolution and framerate?

[hearty wasp]

just use FSR lmao

[dark linden]

At 1080p any upscaling should be the last resort. Especially if it's not DLSS or FSR 2.1.

[hearty wasp]

if your hardware is garbage anything is a last resort short from upgrading the hardware

play on 720p

[dark linden]

True. That's why I asked his specs and target.

[dark linden]

FSR/DLSS Quality at 1080p is 720p already.

[hearty wasp]

ik

I mean FSR on 720p

I hope you don't wee red

Or worse, blue

That's bad for you

@spiral falcon didn't i recommend that too you like a week ago?

[spiral falcon]

yep just looked at it lmfao

havent been playing much in the past week or so

[hushed bronze]

This why color mod hard

[royal trout]

my gpu is only vega 8 and im targeting for gpu usage reduction mods or smth

maybe upgrading my specs might be the only way to improve the performance that i wanted

From what I see, Vega 8 is an integrated GPU. So yeah, you're pretty much out of options with that.

[steady plover]

Can you please explain a bit. I am new to modding.

[hearty wasp]

see the top pinned message

Nexus refers to Nexus Mods

you can go on that site

and search for mods by keyword

[steady plover]

Ok

[fleet bolt]

Anyone know why Vortex can't find my documents folder?

Its in the proper path C:\Users\USER\Documents

[hearty wasp]

is your user profile literally named USER?

or are you just paraphrasing

there's a Nexus Mods discord if you have issues with it as well but you may just wanna try running Vortex with admin privileges first

[fleet bolt]

paraphrasing

[fleet bolt]

I have :/

[hearty wasp]

I mean the experts are unmistakably gonna be there

if you have a non English/numeric user name it may be an issue as well

[fleet bolt]

Ah

Well headin to their discord in hopes they have an awnser

[dark linden]

Mod managers are not that useful when modding NMS in my opinion.

[terse belfry]

does anyone know of any mods that allow you to increase the number of fleet expeditions you can do in a day? or reset the days early?

i see plenty that speed them up or make them instant, but nothing that mentions anything about increasing the limit

[fluid solstice]

Some mods don't even support them anymore, like Better Planet generation. And yep. To me the mod instalation in case of NMS seems to be much easier than trying to use the broken Vortex manager.

[vale iron]

I've tried to make one and couldn't find any way to do it. I don't know if either is even possible.

[vale iron]

Yeah, I would turn off the download with manager button on all my mods if it didn't take a few extra clicks every time. Plus I keep forgetting to do it. Basically, don't use Vortex; just manage your mods manually.

[fluid solstice]

Before Vortex Nexus mods used some Nexus mod manager app, which worked great for me. Then for some reason they changed it for Vortex, which is worse.
And in case of NMS it is just a matter of extracting a pak file to the mods folder. And maybe playing with the mod loading order.

[terse belfry]

turns out, it was as simple as changing the system clock. we thought maybe only skipping forward would reset it, but we were afraid to try it in case that would "end" the season on the client and kill it. so we tried skipping a week backwards, and it gave new expeditions to do.

[vale iron]

Changing system clock can mess up several timers in the game, but if it worked for you, great!

[south orbit]

if manage to get it, can i have an egg?

[steady plover]

They don't come down...and you can't feeed them .. 😭...

[south orbit]

you need a mod

[steady plover]

I haven't done modding....so idk how to do it

[south orbit]

i cant have mods, ps4 😦

[steady plover]

If someone could get it...and gave both of us an egg...i can give planet cords

[fluid solstice]

There is a mod named companion unlock or something similar which allows you to feed and make companion from almost anything (even hostile drones in Derelict freighter - this one more sounds like a 🐛 though). But you still need to build some stuff to get up to the flyers.

As it doesn't make them land.

[dark linden]

Not about Vortex or any other manager being good or bad. It's that none of them really help you with modding NMS other than copying files for you.

You'd still have to use AMUMSS or some other tools to resolve issues. And load order is dictated by filenames.

[hearty wasp]

Vortex really ain't that extra useful for NMS since there's no loose files to install bar AMUMSS

It's not like Cyberpunk where you have multiple folders all containing loose files

[dark linden]

Bethesda games is the best example of mod manager usefulness.

[lime mesa]

Any mod that helps skips all missions?

[dreamy tulip]

I programmed new logic for No Man's Sky, which allows 'static' data to be animated.
In doing so, I was able to create this animated effect for the new galaxy map that I'm working on.

If you look closely, you can also see the colors transitioning subtly.
Being the result of perceptual color interpolation:

[haughty knot]

How do I download mods?

[robust bluff]

@haughty knot https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky

[haughty knot]

I am there, I dont understand how to download them

[fluid solstice]

Click there on mods/browse all, so you get to the browse website. Then you can change filters depending on how you like. I recommend you to sort them by trending, as there are many outdated mods. And if you are getting one, check if it's updated/released after the time of release the latest update (Endurance for now), otherwise it might break.

Usually you download a mod in form of a .pak file.

You need to extract/copy this .pak file to the game's folder.: No Man's sky/GAMEDATA/PCBANKS/MODS.

[haughty knot]

I am at a mod I want to download, can you tell me step by step what to do?

Oh

[fluid solstice]

And also don't forget to enable the mods by removing or renaming the file "DISABLEMODS.TXT" at "No man's sky/GAMEDATA/PCBANKS".

[haughty knot]

Where do I find those folders?

[fluid solstice]

I recommend you to rename this file, like adding an exclamation mark before it, as then you can restore the original name of file to disable mods for example when you want to play multiplayer.

No man's sky is in the place where it's installed.

In case of Steam platform it's "Steam/Steamapps/common/No man's sky".

Idk where is the game's location on the other platforms.

[haughty knot]

So I do that?

[fluid solstice]

Yep.

[haughty knot]

And what about the mod?

[fluid solstice]

And if everything goes well, once you launch the game, you should get warning that you are playing a modded version of the game before you go into the main menu.

[haughty knot]

Do I click this?

[fluid solstice]

Yep.

Manual download.

And it takes you to the list of files. Usually you download the newest file.

But remember to check its date of update/release.

[haughty knot]

There are two mods here

[fluid solstice]

The second one is lua code.

That's file for modders.

The first one is the main mod.

Some modders release lua files which then you can change and compile yourself in AMUMSS tool.

[haughty knot]

So I download the first one, and put it where?

[fluid solstice]

^

[haughty knot]

Also do I need to launch the game once before downloading mods, or can I do it straight away?

[fluid solstice]

You launch the game only after you extract the mods.

Otherwise the game doesn't load them.

Unless it loads mods mid game.

Which I heavily doubt.

[haughty knot]

No I mean is it required to launch the game before downloading, and then close it to put the mod in the folder?

[fluid solstice]

After installing the mod.

There is no reason to have the game running during extracting of the mod.

As you do all stuff yourself manually.

[haughty knot]

Yea I get that

Im having trouble telling what I mean hold on

[fluid solstice]

And in case you want to backup your saves in case that a mod would corrupt them, they are in C:\Users\ [Your_username]\AppData\Roaming\HelloGames\NMS.

[haughty knot]

I am asking if I have to launch and then exit the game, before downloading mods, in order for the game to do whatever it has to do to prep for the mods? Or since I have renamed the disable mods thing, the game is ready to download mods?

[fluid solstice]

Nope.

You shut down the game if it's launched, install and enable mods and only then you launch it again, when you want to play or to check if the mods are installed right.

Also the game doesn't download anything.

[haughty knot]

How do I enable the mods?

[fluid solstice]

All it does is that it loads the game's files and then it replaces the stuff in its files with the ones in the mods folder.

I already said it.

[fluid solstice]

^

[fluid solstice]

^

[haughty knot]

Oh I dont have to edit any settings to enable them, I just put them in the folder?

[fluid solstice]

There are unfortunetaly no settings to edit.

You just put the .pak file in the mods folder.

[haughty knot]

I have this folder here, do I ignore it?

[fluid solstice]

Yep.

This isn't important.

Unless you just created it.

Also you are in wrong folder.

This one is fake.

The right one is in No man's sky/GAMEDATA/PCBanks.

[haughty knot]

I dont have a mods folder in PCBanks

[fluid solstice]

Then create one there.

Name it "MODS".

(Without the quotes.)

[haughty knot]

So like this, and I put the .pak file in there?

[fluid solstice]

Yep.

[haughty knot]

So now the mod should work, right?

[fluid solstice]

Yep.

You have renamed the disablemods.txt and put it there.

You can check it up by launching the game.

If it warns you that you are running modified version of the game, it's running.

[haughty knot]

I got the warning

Thanks for the help :)

[fluid solstice]

Enjoy the mod.

[haughty knot]

My game is not launching

I downloaded a few extra mods and the game doesnt launch

These are my mods

Found out it was the no shake mod that crashed my game, the mod I wanted most :/

[dark linden]

Just set screenshake to 0 in settings.

And it crashed because it's a year old mod.

Fine LOD is good.

It will replace your grass mod easily.

how do i use this settelment seed: 0xDA05DD4C73684614

[hearty wasp]

you can but don't expect much handholding

we're not really a lot of people

and if it gets specific you'll be advised to go to the modding server anyway

[void rivet]

does anyone know how to use seeds

does anyone know how to use a seed? anyone

[silk onyx]

Basically adding a ship to the game from daz store

[shrewd bison]

save editors and mods don't overlap in any way right?

[vale iron]

No, pretty much two separate things

[vale iron]

That's not a quick edit, unfortunately. It's not the most complicated thing you can do with modding, but it takes time and learning. You can start by unpacking Ships of Moar and gShip Custom Ships to see how they work. Or, if the model is good and has a license we can use, Winder or I might be willing to put it into our mods.

[lusty lichen]

Anyone having problems using NMS Model Viewer on Windows 11?

[dreamy tulip]

managed to create a miniature planet through assembly hacking lol

[lusty lichen]

Any views from the surface??

[dreamy tulip]

I'll probably add a .dll hack for the Multiverse API which which would allow for different planet scale variations per system.

Planets can range from being the size of asteroids all the way to the size of super planets.

This planet took like two minutes to drive around via exocraft 😂

[dreamy tulip]

Hi, NovaGhost2584!

I only took one when I was in-game (not much to see here)

[lusty lichen]

That's such a fun idea though, reminds me a bit of dragon ball z 😛

[dreamy tulip]

Oh yeah! Planet Kai haha

[heavy scarab]

So I'm trying to install some mods from the Nexus.

Apparently my "DisableMods" file is still renamed...which is odd considering I've reinstalled the game, after over a year of not having it on my system..is it not?

It'll boot, and give me the "warning mods" pop-up, but then crashes when I pick a save to load.

There doesn't seem to be any masters in any of the mods I downloaded (I only have 5); but I do seem to recall there being a script extender or something like that.
Is that something I need..despite none of the mods having a "requirement" tab?

[dreamy tulip]

Hello, Campbell9¾.

If I may, what mods are you trying to install?

It sounds like you're dealing with something that's either outdated, or broken.
I'm unfamiliar with this 'script extender' that you speak of.

A screenshot of your MODS folder would be helpful. Additionally, your last statement sounds like you are using a GUI?

[unique crest]

also may need to load the save without mods first to update it to current version save file? (just spitballing here)

[heavy scarab]

• JJ's ships [2.8]
• More Words [3.99]
• Capital Freighter Spawns [1.0.2]
• Faster Fleet & Settlement Timers [3.88]
• gFleet Perfect Frigates [399b]

Also I've been playing unmodded for a week or two now, so that much is covered

Also this is kinda embarrassing..but I just realised that I have no idea how to screenshot outside of Steam 😅
I figured it'd be the "prt sc" key, but uhh..nah lol

[dreamy tulip]

Try isolating Faster Fleet Expeditions and Settlement Timers

[heavy scarab]

You're my hero 😍
I should have tried that first, but they all seemed like such tiny mods; I didn't figure they'd break anything

[dreamy tulip]

Glad that I was able to help!

Turns out that Faster Fleet & Settlement Timers's modifies two global .MBINS.
Their most recent update was on the 27'th of April. There have been a few patches since then & mods that modify Globals will crash the game if they become outdated. 👍

[heavy scarab]

Also print screen does infact capture the screen...it just doesn't do a obvious flashy so I instantly decided it didn't work 😁

..Suddenly I'm hearing my old therapist dropping hints about patterns in my relationships 😆

[dreamy tulip]

There's actually a pretty neat software called 'MyImgur' which I found.
With it... you can set a hotkey & take a screen capture or capture an entire window.
It also allows you to have your images uploaded directly to Imgur w/ the image link copied to your clipboard:

[heavy scarab]

Well, You're all kinds of helpful, huh
Can I sync that to my phone?

[dreamy tulip]

I'm actually not sure about that

Might only be for PC

[grizzled wren]

Is there somebody who can get this photon cannon off my ship?

[silk onyx]

@vale iron the model is from 3d Daz and has purchasable licensing that is affordable..(price of the model without the license is $17 - and the license is usually about $10. I can help with the cost.

[lusty lichen]

Is there a better way to rip 3d models from the game other than NMSMV? I can't seem to find anything

[dreamy tulip]

Afaik NMSMV is the only tool that currently can export NMS models to .obj format.
Greg is working on a newer version though, but it may be a while.

[lusty lichen]

Thanks @dreamy tulip I've downloaded it on 2 separate computers and just can't get it to work. I might be missing something...

[dreamy tulip]

Hmm. So, what's the issue that you are experiencing?

[dark linden]

Or you could just use Win+Shift+S and then just Ctrl+V the result.

Or if you need just the window, then Alt+PS and then Ctrl+V.

[lusty lichen]

It keeps either crashing out completely, or not finding the game data when it's pointing right at it. I'm thinking its user error at this point

[dreamy tulip]

So, is it crashing as soon as you open the app?
Or when you try to open a scene?

[lusty lichen]

As soon as I open it.

I'm going to try a couple things before I give up for good

[dreamy tulip]

I'm gonna grab the latest version and test myself quick

[grizzled wren]

Can anyone get this photon canon off my ship?

[dreamy tulip]

Not encountering issues on my end:

[dreamy tulip]

Do you know what version you have downloaded?

The v. that I'm using is 0.90.7 (visible at the top of the app)

I downloaded it from the model-viewer channel within the nms modding server

[lusty lichen]

Does anyone know of a mod that removes hazard effects from vision border while you have an active protection module running while allowing them to occur once the charge is depleted?

I need to get vykeen rep for a mission but I robbed some ships and now it’s on like -50/2, anyway to fix?

Get that passport to reset your vykeen rank.

[vale iron]

There is nothing for this and can't be with MBIN modding, as far as I know. The logic for when to display the hazard effects is locked up in the exe

[vale iron]

Personally, I never buy models. I want to keep my modding hobby free, plus not every model ends up working for NMS for various reasons, so you could send up spending money on a model and it just doesn't work out.

[hearty wasp]

model makers can easily argue that the model itself is released in another format and thus not allowed within licence

it's a fool's errand

if you want to do it, do it yourself at your own peril

[brisk flume]

Hey I'm trying to launch nms on my pc for the first time and got this error

Downloading a driver from nvidia

It makes sense to need a graphics driver

Hey @vale iron, your smart. I'm a doing this right?

Game won't run with no graphics card?.. fr?

[vale iron]

What graphics card do you have?

though more a #nms-questions topic

[brisk flume]

Non

[steel crypt]

You need something that supports Vulkan

[tired star]

you... need a graphics card to run this game

[dark linden]

Bro...

[steel crypt]

NMS will run on Intel UHD graphics. It's not mandatory to have a separate GPU. Integrated GPU will work, but it the system has to support Vulkan.

[hearty wasp]

inb4 it's an intel F SKU

[fluid solstice]

Without a graphical card, I am surprised that you can even see anything on your screen. You probably have some integrated GPU.

Because no GPU=no screen.

[fluid solstice]

I think that as long as the GPU, either integrated or not, fullfills the hardware requirements, can run fine. But it must support the game's API, in this case Vulkan. And yes. Some games require driver updating, otherwise they won't work properly.

Anyway, to check up what graphics card you have, search for "dxdiag" program and run it. It should show you which GPU you are using. Then you need to update its drivers, if possible.

[grizzled wren]

Can anyone get this photon canon off my ship?

[hearty wasp]

search keywords like "core", "module" or "tech" on Nexus

we believe you have the ability to do it yourself

[grizzled wren]

Okay

Sorry I'm just figuring this out

[hearty wasp]

you're looking for a mod that removes tech modules from being a "core" module

i.e. making them uninstallable in game

[grizzled wren]

I found the mod

Should I make a backup save before I download it and stuff and start scrapping core components cause someone told me it could corrupt your save file

[hearty wasp]

It shouldn't impact too much but backing up is always a good idea

[grizzled wren]

Okayy

Yeah i dont have any colour for space except black, idk why, there shouldnt be any conflict with other mods

[fluid solstice]

I would check when the mod was updated the last time. Also AMUMSS tool can check mod conflicts for you.

[dark linden]

It is updated. Maybe you just got "lucky" and got black space variations?

[forest blaze]

I'll try jumping more around then

Up to date and conflicts checked as always

[steel crypt]

Which version of expanse are you using? Are you using the black space version? Also, you can only use one version, not multiple.

[void rivet]

ok so. you have to download the driver. nvm i dont not know how to

do not know*

[brisk flume]

Doesn't matter, I'm gonna do a different method

[forest blaze]

Version 3.99, the normal one
The other colour changing mods i have are stratos and abyss, so it should be all good
Unless it's the better black holes that gives problems, but there arent any explicit conflicts

@hushed bronze hello may I speak to you about one of the mods?

[hearty wasp]

if you wanna have a "pre-made" system, you can't

[hushed bronze]

Sure, but it's @solid hawk who has been updating and managing over the last two years. Either one of us should be able to answer a question though

[rapid sandal]

I think the closest you'll get is either by constraining the biome settings to only allow (or heavily favour) the ones you want, or use the debug settings e.g. https://github.com/cmkushnir/NMSModBuilderContrib/blob/main/Scripts/ThatBomberBoi/Mod/Custom_System_Creator.cs, although I think that is constrained to just one system.

[solid hawk]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1270. This change is local and won't make the biomes the same in MP, there is no way to achieve that, as modders can make zero changes to sync.. Maybe if you and any playmate both have the same version installed, but even that is iffy.

[sullen pier]

Does anyone know of a mod that can FIX the player-view camera height, when sitting in an exocraft?

I feel like a midget trying to drive a pickup truck, and cannot see a damn thing.

[proper viper]

@fluid solstice Intel and AMD integrated GPU such as the Intel Graphics 430 or 650 etc are not able to run games , nor they are supported by any newer games , as a matter of fact the only function they have is display your screen when you do some basic usage on Windows etc: these cards has less then a 1GB memory usually 512 MB if it's a newer cpu but other then that they are useless

[steel crypt]

UHD 630 is supported according to HG. He’s not wanting the game to run well, just to be able to start it.

[vale iron]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've had it load on my Intel integrated on accident before

[candid schooner]

gee, why didnt i think of that?

i did, there are like a dozen different ones, im asking which one works the best

i dont know how updates and modding work for nms, and i dont want to risk breaking my save file using an outdated mod

[hearty wasp]

Sort by Last Updated

None will break your save

[fresh hawk]

Anyone know which mod allows for unlimited number of items you can build?

[glossy basalt]

i saw someone mention a mod for craftable SFM's, but did a nexus search and couldnt find it. anyone happen to know what it's named?

[glossy basalt]

thank you you're a G o7, been rolling derelicts all daytime and got 2 😐

[fresh hawk]

np! Personally, I used the Space Station Sells Everything mod to get mine.

[glossy basalt]

that might be better so i dont become a freighter hermit while jumping to the core. EISS by musty123? https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1927?tab=description

[fresh hawk]

That's it! There's also the dupe glitch route you can go.

[glossy basalt]

eh i already save edit myself some units (it's like my 10th playthrough, endurance wiped my save and i'd just refine chlorine anyways) so i try to avoid that stuff to keep myself interested

[fresh hawk]

Fair enough! Happy travels my dude!

[hearty wasp]

Try gBase or Beyond Base Building

But there's a hard limit of I think 16k objects per save

And 3k per base

[magic lava]

3k to upload, you can go over if you want though

[split estuary]

woop thanks

[merry wasp]

don't forget to check mod conflicts if you have other mods

if you don't, have fun and enjoy

[split estuary]

no worries, i'm a bethesda game player, this isn't my first rodeo

[hearty wasp]

NMS mod conflicts is considerably more complicated to resolve

[silk onyx]

hello, can anyone confirm if two maybe three mods clash?

the busier space mods and JJ better ships

and gfleet perfect frigates

*solved.... thanks

[fluid solstice]

Download AMUMSS tool and run it, this tool aside of making mods from Lua scripts can also check the mod conflicts for you.

[sterile gulch]

can someone make a mod to make sentinel pugneum and nantite clusters stack to 9999 so it's worth your time to refine pugneum for nanites

in survival and permadeath

I'm just assuming it doesn't exist

[rapid sandal]

there are plently of stacking mods on nexus that allow stacking even beyond that. there are also a number of lua and c# scripts to create stacking mods, so you can tweak as you wish, e.g. https://github.com/cmkushnir/NMSModBuilderContrib/blob/main/Scripts/NMSMB/Mod/cmk/Inventory_Stack.cs

[sterile gulch]

most I know is a niche lua apu but I could give that a crack I guess

api

[tall verge]

Is there a video tutorial, or good web site, or something on installing lua scrips in NMS? I'm new at this whole mod thing. From what I've read so far, everything says to just grab the PAK file and ignore the LUA. I'm guessing that installing the LUA script is done differently and its a more enhanced version of the mod?

[steel crypt]

LUA scripts are used to make .pak files. The .pak file is the mod.

[tall verge]

oh. okay. interesting

[steel crypt]

LUA is one way that mods are constructed and/or merged. There are other ways. The end result is a .pak.

[tall verge]

Thank you

[fluid solstice]

I only know there is AMUMSS tool which turns Lua scripts into pak files. It can also decompile mods, patch them by Lua if possible and also check conflicts. And it has many example scripts. But idk if there are other ways.

[vale iron]

NMS Mod Builder does similar things (and more) using c# scripts

[topaz arch]

Got a problem. I think my main save is corrupted. When I try to join it just stays in the loading screen. I can load other non primary saves. Any ideas how to fix

[hearty wasp]

not really

if we can't find out the cause of the issue how do we change the part where it would be effective

unless you have more info on every detail last time the game was saved

but for something easy I guess you can change your location first

also sometimes game can just load long

unless it's half an hour long in which case that's prolly too long

[topaz arch]

It was 5 minutes.

Last I played was earlier today and exit seemed normal. I was in a space station.

How do I change my location if I can't get in tge game?

Do you know tge naming scheme that they use in the app\hello games folder?

[fluid solstice]

NMS connect tool can change your location. And other save editors too.

Contribution by: Devilin Pixy#9298

[hearty wasp]

5 minutes ain't that long tbh

[magic lava]

Not for that initial load sometimes

[hearty wasp]

if you wanna confirm it you'd want to load it at least 3 times and see if it's still loading in after 10 minutes

would be a good time to have dinner

also just grab a save editor if you need it #nms-modding message

[topaz arch]

longer than I have ever had before.

[topaz arch]

Where do I find this? Is it pinned? I didn't see it as a channel

[magic lava]

That's a command for the information Gunter responded with. It shows the location of your save files for each platform you can access them on.

[topaz arch]

Ahh, OK. Yeah I found the files, just haven't a clue on the naming scheme, or if I can just roll back to an earlier save. I did a manual save point yesterday. Have also sent a question to Hello Games, but not the files.

ANd I have no clue as to how to use a save editor. 😦

I've seen some recommendations to clear the cache. Any clue if they are talking about the cache folder under the HelloGame folder?

[magic lava]

Head over to #nms-questions gonna get more traction there. Use this channel if you wanna try the editor or mods

[hearty wasp]

doesn't matter

if you are OK with just loading your manual sav you can also just remove the auto save file from the save folder

since saves come in pairs if it's the first save you have created it'll be either save.hg or save2.hg

turn off cloud sync when you do it

[topaz arch]

🙂 I was referred hear for an editor so thought I'd ask here as well. thanks

[topaz arch]

So how long should I let it load? And thanks for the other information.

[hearty wasp]

as I have mentioned

again, if you're ok with losing your progress between your autosave and manual save, it's easier to just yeet your auto save

[topaz arch]

My bad. Sorry

Sorry for the continuing questions, but this is the most help so far.

1. do I turn off cloud sync in Steam (I assume so , but haven't done it before),

Below is a screen shot of my Save folder. Do I delete mf_save.hg and save.hg, and then it will pick up mf_asave2 .hg& save2.hg

[hearty wasp]

just move either save.hg or save2.hg to another place

[hearty wasp]

and yes, as I mentioned

[topaz arch]

Thanks much

[topaz arch]

Thanks again for all the help. I finally got time to do as you suggested and now I am back up and running again I think. Only lost an hour's worth of play. I'll take that any day of the week.

[plush urchin]

Hey guys. This is a question regarding the pet sand worm you get a while ago, I know you can used a save editor to change it's body parts. I was able to get the mouth and tail part I want, but I still want this side fins, does anyone know what they were called?

[sage crag]

is there a mod to kill atlas yet?

give them cancer, blow them up, or just make them sad. anything like that?

[hearty wasp]

Would it work if someone made the player character Atlas and then you can just kill yourself

In No Man's Sky, I mean

[tall verge]

🤣

[rough niche]

So mods dont work in multiplayer correct? Not really sure how that works.

[fluid solstice]

They work in multiplayer, but other players don't see them unless they have them installed too.

So for example if you have a mod changing procedural generation, only you will see the new/changed generated objects or terrain.

Other people won't see it.

Same for you when you do some coop quest- somebody might mark an object, which doesn't exist for you.

So if you play multiplayer, it's best to either turn mods off or do a group session where everybody would have same mods installed with same load order, so you have it synced.

[rough niche]

Gotchya, makes sense. Thank you!

I know there are some space colours mods.

Where do you get this?

[fluid solstice]

On Nexusmods.

[dense tide]

Aighty ty

[tall verge]

I use HD Clouds, Fine LOD, Black Space with Nebulea 2.1, livelier freighter bases

I would like a mod where if your NPCs on your freighter disrespect you, you could choke them with the force! 😆

[rough niche]

Any mod that makes it so terrain manipulation stays. Terrain keeps reverting back if I leave atmosphere and come back

[dense tide]

All fron nexusmods?

[tall verge]

yeah

[dense tide]

Aighty ty :3

[hearty wasp]

no

can't

[sage crag]

lol just commit universal suicide.

it deletes your save and corrupts the game forcing you to reinstall but who cares as long as atlas is dead.

[icy olive]

Do these require you to be offline?

[hearty wasp]

nothing does

[icy olive]

Oh, sorry about that, i thought i saw someone mention that mods require you to be offline

[west bridge]

Where will the mod file be located so I can put mods on?

well put mods in the folder, so it works

How do i download mods? I know to download from nexus, but what then?

This guy has some good mods tutorials https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfKxGyd-_w4

[west bridge]

Can Somebody help, Where do I put mods?

[tall verge]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\MODS

[west bridge]

I use xbox gmae pass

but i found the file but like

I put the mods in and they dont work

I'm using Unlimited Hyper Drive Distance and that aint work

[tall verge]

oh. I don't know anything about xbox

[west bridge]

I do

but like the mods aint workin

C:\temp\No Man's Sky\Content\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS im at this

made a mods folder

put the mods in

but no work

[tall verge]

you have to rename the text file "disablemods" to 'enablemods'. might be that, but I couldn't say for sure

[west bridge]

is caps?

did that

so what do i do

[rapid sandal]

For xbox the mods will be: C:\temp\No Man's Sky\Content\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\MODS\*.pak (based on what you posted).
Only *.pak files are mod files, not .lua, not .cs. in C:\temp\No Man's Sky\Content\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\ delete or rename the enablemods file as shown.
Are you saying you've done both of those things and the mods still don't work ?

[west bridge]

uh

pak files?

how do i make them pak

[rapid sandal]

How did you get the mod you want to use, what kind of file is it (extension) ?

[west bridge]

Nexus Mod

[rapid sandal]

So the download is likely a .zip or .7z, you have to extract the contents. There should be a .pak file. The pak file goes in the mods folder.

[west bridge]

ok

i open the file

there is 2

[rapid sandal]

The lua file is a script that can be used with the AMUMSS tool to build a pak. It is provided so you can try to rebuild the pak when a new version of the game is released. If the Nexus page said that the mod was updated for the current game release then you can just use the pak in the download.

[west bridge]

ok

didnt understand a single word

but ok

[rapid sandal]

A pak file is like a zip file, it contains items that the game uses e.g. textures, audio, text, ... The game will first look in the pak's in the mods folder for an item it needs, then in the pcbanks paks. So the mod pak's usually contain replacements of items in the pcbanks pak files.

The lua script takes game item(s) from the pcbanks pak file(s), modifies them, then puts the modified item(s) in a new mod pak file. The lua script is a text file that you can modify to tweak how the mod works. When a new version of the game is released you may need to rebuild the mod pak to account for changes that were made in the game pak items.

[hearty wasp]

basically

just extract the top one

and put that into the folder mentioned

because it is

the PAK file

that he mentioned

eh, i like the speed lines

but they probably destroy bitrate

[steel crypt]

Who opened the timo can?

[weary breach]

does anyone know a mod that makes starship combat more difficult and works with the new update?

i've found gDamage, but taking my entire shield offline for bumping into a broken freighter hitbox isn't really my cup of tea

[steel crypt]

There is a mod in DUD’S SKY called aishipplusmoredamage. Might check that one out. Read description first as it does a few things. It’s on Nexus mods. On phone hard to link. @weary breach

[weary breach]

thanks, will check that out tommorow

[hearty wasp]

I'd say it's more of a box

[slim ruin]

General question about nexus mods. Do I need to turn off multiplayer to use any of them?

[rough niche]

no, other people just wont see them. its only client side

[steel crypt]

Mostly. There are mods that affect multiplayer.
For instance, mods that change AI behavior like ship AI. Since the host is localized, if the host has a mod changing the behavior then other players will see the same thing. But the host can change mid-instance.

[steel crypt]

I've made a system for giving the player a reward once per real 24 hours. If the player doesn't play for more than 24 hours (say a week) then it only rewards 1 time once in-game. The intent is to give negative reward to the player for standing so that the standing system is dynamic.

I currently have it set to have 100% chance of giving 1-6 negative standing for each race. 33% chance for 1 negative standing per each guild class.

Does this sound like good numbers? Any ideas? Thanks 🙂

[unique crest]

Anyone have any ideas or backdoors to make Haulers a Useful Class in the game? Right now you can kinda bypass them by teleporting things to your inventory...

[tall verge]

Between my hauler and my colossus, I think I have more storage than my freighter. I like to pack them full of AI and sell it to pilots at my trading post base

haven't tried some of the stacking mods yet though, but I think those would be nice. Because I think a hauler should have even more storage than it has. Cuz its a "Hauler"

[unique crest]

@tall verge ty for this info i'll see if i can come up w/ some ideas

issue is you can just summon your freighter to the sell area w/out risk and sell wherever... may need to do something w/ teleporters for materials

[tall verge]

Indeed. Very true! I actually do summon my freighter, but all my thing does is it keeps me from having to make a few more trips, because I fill up my colossus, my hauler, and my freighter cargo hold. Then gate back to trading post base, call in my freighter there, and sell it all to the pilots. Would probably be just as easy though, to just gate back and forth and sell it like that. With the colossus and the hauler though, sometimes I like to just fill those up and let it sit, and go do something else, and then come back later and sell it.

what

don't use vortex for NMS dude

gross

it sometimes just refuse to work

[split estuary]

just don't use vortex

[tall verge]

okay. didn't know that. Thanks!

[split estuary]

can you use mod manager with nms? lol

[hearty wasp]

I can excuse using it for Cyberpunk but NMS doesn't have loose files

it's all just drag and drop

[hearty wasp]

there's literally no need

everything's drag and drop

and with AMUMSS it's just another double click

[tall verge]

cool

[split estuary]

mo2 is like my secondary game launcher

[hearty wasp]

There're instructions to where to drag the files to
https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Mods

[tall verge]

Yeah, it seemed like its just drag and drop the pak file, but I'm a newb and this guy on a vid said 'might want to use vortex' Didn't know, and thought that perhaps there are more complicated NMS mods that require a mod manager

But thats good to know that I don't need one

[hearty wasp]

No worries dude

Anything more complicated just uses NMSMB or AMUMSS

And more organised then my life

[hidden venture]

lol yeah it's 3

3:25*

[hardy shore]

Its 00:26 here

[shy grove]

re: save editors, main reason why i'd asked you to move the convo to this channel @hardy shore, i didn't realize you were on PS4. so i'm assuming it'd be a bit more challenging for you to be able to run those.

[hardy shore]

Yup

Cause i would have to use a pc i think

[shy grove]

yes, unfortunately and PS doesn't offer the cross-save option that GamePass Ultimate provides between Xbox and PC sadly. sad times

@hidden venture so you were able to turn that exotic into a ball without the other parts just using a save editor?

[hardy shore]

Its really sucks

[hidden venture]

not me but someone i know and thats what he said

i just changed the color

[shy grove]

ooh, whaaa. so they modded it and managed to just trade you the ship that way in-game?

[hidden venture]

well I imported it through NMSC and then changed the color using NomNom

and using the "Trade" method i can give him the ship

[hardy shore]

So when do you want to do that trade?

[hidden venture]

@hardy shore i just added another one in

[hardy shore]

Alrighty

Im not online rn btw

[hidden venture]

lets just hope that we can see each other

[hardy shore]

Yeah

[night adder]

@shy grove It's an easy JSON edit, all you do is change the scene file reference for whole ship to the cockpit-specific scene.

[hardy shore]

You wanna continue tommorow, cause im tired and want to sleep

[hidden venture]

yeah all good what time

[shy grove]

that's kickass! thanks for the insight

[hardy shore]

What time is it rn for you

[hidden venture]

3:42

pm lol

[hardy shore]

Wow

[night adder]

@shy grove Doesnt work on living/solar, those newer ships werent coded with a cockpit module that controls the rest of the scene files involved

[hardy shore]

Thats a 9 hour difference if my math is correct

[hidden venture]

it's 12am

?

[hardy shore]

12:44

[hidden venture]

damn

[hardy shore]

Yeah

[foggy tulip]

My entire save reset when i tried to use a save editor, how can i fix this

[shy grove]

prob best off taking it to DMs or even #nms-lfg-or-trades btw. sorry i sent you guys to this channel since the discussion was more about save editing before

[hardy shore]

Its alright

[shy grove]

did you create a backup, i hope?

[hidden venture]

@foggy tulip what does it say

[foggy tulip]

The save editor made backups but idk how to use it

[night adder]

Goatfungus? @foggy tulip

[foggy tulip]

When i open my save it says "Hold E to start initiation"

[hidden venture]

Does is say "incompatible save"

[foggy tulip]

Yes

[foggy tulip]

No

[night adder]

@foggy tulip Load the slot back up in goatfungus, the 2nd dropdown where it says specific filename contains zip files with unix timestamps

[hidden venture]

im not to familiar with Goatfungus

[night adder]

Those are the backups, click on any of them to load, then save changes to revert

[foggy tulip]

Ohh

Ok

Theres 4 idk what to use

[night adder]

Most recebt backup is at the top, and if it doesnt work, just try again with the next one down

[foggy tulip]

I did it

Thx

But also why did it reset everything

How can i not make it do this next time

[night adder]

Because something you did was incompatible with the game load, so it behaved as though there was no save present
