goatfungus updated

and it works

[coral mortar]

Goatfungus isn't loading my saves properly.

Any ideas on that?

[fallow meadow]

If you have not updated yet, try now (version 1.11.1).
Do make sure to have a backup of your saves just in case. There may still be some issues

[coral mortar]

HA! It's working now. A couple of hours ago it updated but it was messed up.

That dude is on top of things.

Wow...I think I just fixed my borked freighter...I was able to add the freighter hyperdrive module that was missing so I couldn't warp anywhere. All the freighters I encountered were missing a hyperdrive module.

[fallow meadow]

It can be a great tool for fixing issues, but do make sure to make HG aware as well 😉

[coral mortar]

Yeah I reported that one 2x, second time b/c I got better and more complete screen shots.

[fluid solstice]

I have found another 🐛 - when buying a solar spaceship, it had duplicate some essential modules, like duplicate phaser gun (it was in both cargo and tech slots).

[green prairie]

is there a mod that mark things you discovered on your map? Because I am getting tired of not finding places I found before again, like Portals or Colossal Archives

[blissful ridge]

okay so im using an editor simply because i switched from console to pc and hate the fact that i no longer have my expedition rewards. But i have a quick question when using the goatfungus editor, is it possible to use the seed of say the Normandy SR1 onto my current ship to make my ship look like the Normandy but still fly it?

[vale iron]

No, you would need to use a mod that adds that ship. I might be adding the SR2 to the next version of gShip Custom Ships, not sure yet

[blissful ridge]

Fr man that'd be sick if you did!! As a die hard Mass Effect fan I'd love you for it ever bit

[vale iron]

It is in Custom Freighters already, if you want it as a freighter

And Ships of Moar has the Mass Effect shuttlecraft thing, I forget what it's called

[normal meteor]

I got into the louvre with the one mod that turns black holes into the one from interstellar

such a good mod

[hearty wasp]

thanks

[normal meteor]

No way

[hearty wasp]

I stumbled across a video of BAAA on YouTube with a million views and they didn't even fuckin credit me

[normal meteor]

Dude that’s messed up you totally deserve credit

One of my favorite mods for sure

[hearty wasp]

I hope the new hole looks good as well

wasn't sure if I was forgoing any accuracy in exchange of integrating the vanilla effects

[normal meteor]

Well I’m sure the title is still true haha

It’s probably at least a little more accurate

[merry wasp]

I asume you already did but Sean blackhole

[hearty wasp]

nah

if I'm doing one it'd better be done right

[vernal thicket]

Is there a way to make your capital ship look like a true vebator?

[plush wigeon]

venator? you can only fool with the colors, that's all we got

oh, via modding, umm... I take it back, dunno, there might be a mod that has a true venator skin

[vale iron]

gFreighter Custom Freighters has a Venator

[vernal thicket]

oki thx

the question is...what would the other players see?

[green prairie]

the custom ship mod makes everyone see you with Golden Vector

maybe if they also have the mod installed they will see the modded ship

[vernal thicket]

ahh ok

and do I need to create a new folder in the nms floders?

sorry never used a mod before

on this game

[green prairie]

not using it, but if it is like any other mod, you create a "MODS" folder inside the PCBANKS folder

and put the extracted files inside it

also delete the "DISABLEMODS.txt" file inside the PCBANKS folder or the game won't load the mods

[vernal thicket]

so the MODS folder in the GAMEDATA is not good right?

[green prairie]

don't think so, at least every instruction said to create a mods folder inside the pcbanks, and it works since I am using 2 mods

maybe that folder in the gamedata is for future official support with a menu or something in game, whos knows

[vernal thicket]

maybe yes

so. to select one of the custm frighters I need to change the model seed to the one I want?

[green prairie]

there are 3 ways of getting them, I think they explain in the mod's description

but you can do that if you have Golden Vector

[gilded star]

does anyone know of any good graphics mods?

[lime mesa]

Are there any performance mods? After this update my game struggles to load things even with everything set to standard

Can't even use teleport devices in my base anymore because my base respawns and respawns slowly

It's a sky base too so I end up falling to the planet sometimes when booting the game

[round sinew]

dude! :))) you know how to make me smile, my friend! as always, thank you so much!

[fervent fox]

i am new to modding nms, i got some queations about them

1. Are the "how to install" guides still reliable in terms of the new mods?
   2.Are the modes save related?
   3.Can i just turn them on/off at any time?similiar to a mod manager
   4.Ive read that some mods change the game completly, in this casa, can we have a modded/unmodded save? so we can play around
2. Do they affect other players experience?

[cinder valley]

Recently released https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2527

Boi those some dense caves
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2528

[green prairie]

I wonder how those generation mods works if the game is kinda multiplayer kinda single player

[cinder valley]

Only you see the changes.

[green prairie]

yes but if the generation adds like resources in places the vanilla game doesn't, you will be essentialy mining air?

to someone else

[marsh eagle]

Mp simply syncs player position and interaction. Everything else is client side. So yes you can see player walking in air if their planet terrain is different

[hearty wasp]

[hearty wasp]

1. yes
2. game mode is stored in the balls save but I think there're also custom game settings related data in there now
3. you can just remove the paks
4. you can do that when you just remove the paks
5. 

[blazing steppe]

just to be clear mod here means modifications to the game and not the tech/ship mods right

[magic lava]

Correct

[blazing steppe]

any mod that changes the gamma values of only planets?

[green prairie]

I hope the reduce launch cost mod updates, because you can't use the Discounted from the new update option with PD and even if you could, for some reason when you set it to discounted it makes multi tool fuel infinite

[blazing steppe]

is the nms saveeditor working with latest patch?

[fallow meadow]

Mostly, so make sure to make a backup of your saves before trying it.

[blazing steppe]

👍 just need to fix the hyperdrive on the frigate 😢

[pulsar ibex]

im out of date with the modding scene in nms, its been like 4 years since i modded and played, what are the core most important non cheat but quality of life mods?

[velvet kiln]

can you use a mod for someting(ship hunting) then remove the mod without destroying the save?

[peak pelican]

nomnom has supposedly updated!

but i cant find the dl

ok so they aint updated the github as its just a public beta atm

so i might still w8 for the full release, i just prefer the ui in nomnom over goat and goat dosent let me edit exocrafts yet

[peak pelican]

nvm i was just on cargo tab not tech tab xD

[lofty brook]

will updating your game mess up your mods?

[merry wasp]

Depends what you're looking for, check the mods i posted on top, might be a few that are to your liking. Other mods i'd recommend are instant actions, instant scan, fast refiners

[merry wasp]

If you're mods are out of date with game version it will cause issues

[undone glade]

Does anyone know of a mod that get rids of the blue filter of the scanner? I just want it to be transparent, like normal view

[hearty wasp]

search key words like "visor" or "scanner" or "scan" on Nexus

old texture replacers should still work

[undone glade]

I literally searched and you were the one that responded to me to this exact same question about a year ago 😅

Thanks again hahaha

[hearty wasp]

I mean it hasn't really changed

because texture mods never break

there're a few texture mods in here and all of em should work

as long as they only modify texture

[undone glade]

[green prairie]

speaking of that mod, does it remove the Creature Pellets from your starting crafting list or you have to unlock it? I never paid attention, it was just there always.

[terse raven]

why is the consumerism mod not working? i don't see the updated expedition 5 and above rewards on the quicksilver NPC...

[hearty wasp]

are you using the latest lua

[terse raven]

what is that

[hearty wasp]

lua for AMUMSS

I mean it doesn't really matter if you did get the latest pak from Nexus

but if you did then you should use the lua just in case

since I don't take any reports from non-lua users anymore

[terse raven]

yeah i downloaded from nexus and just overwritted the one I had that was outdated in the mods folder

[hearty wasp]

Cool

There're still many error-prone points in that chain of actions so I'd rather you just use the lua for AMUMSS

it's possible that you either put the pak in the wrong place or just has another pak that's overwriting it as well

[merry wasp]

Hoho, higher standards

[sterile pelican]

How to use ship seed

[marsh eagle]

Saveditor ship tab, seed field

[blissful ridge]

Is it possible to mod or copy a save file from your PC version of NMS to a save on a PS5? As odd as it may sound, I've been enjoying playing NMS on PS5 more but I like a few of the mods that I have.

[shy grove]

unfortunately not

[blissful ridge]

Hmm okie 🙂. What if I only use a save editor to at least give myself items I don't have unlocked and then port that PC save (without any mods that is) over to my PS5. Would that work? Sorry for so many questions. I'm just kinda curious if there's a way to transfer a save over from one device to the next.

Taking my PC with me is a bit difficult when I travel for work all the time but I can travel with my PS5 while I'm away for a few months which is my main reason as to why I want to do this

[shy grove]

for playstation, i'd assume the only way would be to jailbreak it which would break your PS5 warranty and could probably violate PS' terms of service. i only know of Xbox console file transfers via MS' GamePass Ultimate subscription which allows for cloud saves between PC and console. i haven't heard of PS players being able to accomplish something like that.

maybe someone else here has some other info i don't know of though

[blissful ridge]

Gotcha thank you though for at least understanding and trying. If it comes down to it, I may end up buying the game again on my switch when my work sends me to Europe again for 3 months.

[vale iron]

Yeah, unfortunately, I don't think save editing works on PS5 at all, even if you jailbreak. PS4, yes. I could be wrong, though.

[hallow fossil]

I don't have the PCBANKS folder, has it been removed or should I make one?

And in my mods folder I have a "exported" folder, not sure if that's correct.

[hearty wasp]

if you don't have a PCBANKS folder does your game work

if so where did you install your game actually

[hallow fossil]

My game works fine!

[hearty wasp]

there's a chance that those folders are hidden

or you had the game installed elsewhere and you forgor

since PCBANKS in where 99% of the files the game uses are

[hallow fossil]

That's super strange

[hearty wasp]

it is

[hallow fossil]

Hidden files on, still no pcbanks lol

Is there any way of seeing that my mods have been activated in game btw?

If its works then it's fine, just don't know if they are on 🙂

[hearty wasp]

you see this screen

[hallow fossil]

Damn, didn't see it...

[hearty wasp]

I'm inclined to believe you have the game installed elsewhere

does your No Man's Sky folder have a Binaries folder?

[hallow fossil]

I'll make sure

And yes

You were right. Sorry for taking you time

[hearty wasp]

cool

[amber gull]

any mods for cities landing bases?

ok

@round sinew

idk what iam wrong with

@round sinew

sources:nexusmods

[round sinew]

ok so

3.60 - if that's the NMS update the mods were made for - and not the mod's versioning itself - those won't work

we're on 4.03

[amber gull]

oh

[round sinew]

most mods released before the beginning of this month will probably not work

[fluid solstice]

Yep. Mods need usually to be updated for the latest version. With exception of some lucky ones or mods having LUA script released, where you can compile them through AMUMSS, if it works.

[round sinew]

yes

[amber gull]

oh

[round sinew]

you only need the luas to recompile paks, and paks are the files you leave in the mods folder

[hearty wasp]

sure if you can build it yourself

[tidal portal]

where do I create the folder?

[marble rapids]

can anyone help me. I just need the model of golden first spawn. I have it in game an want the model. what can i do?

please? this is my 10th attempt.I don't have enough space on my HD for NMS and blender at the same time and I'm doing my nut in()going crazy()

I want to set it up on animaze for twitch

maybe someone could use the idea for the other characters

[hearty wasp]

You just need to have Blender 3.2 and NMSDK dude

Only way to extract any model rn

[marble rapids]

ok thanks

[cosmic pivot]

So, I'm interested in making a skin/mech model for the exo-mech. Is there a standard procedure for vehicle modding?

[hearty wasp]

yeah

[cosmic pivot]

I'm thinking Gundams, Titanfall, or Skells from Xenoblade Chronicles X

[hearty wasp]

use blender 3.2 and NMSDK if you wanna replace mech

but you can't change its rig

you can't vertex bind

and you have to learn blender and NMSDK

[cosmic pivot]

I'm already a 3D modeler, but vertex bind?

[hearty wasp]

binding mesh to a bone

none of that here

[cosmic pivot]

Hm, not even Parenting?

[hearty wasp]

sorta

we just straight up stick a distinct mesh to a "joint"

[cosmic pivot]

Okay that's parenting, good. That's what I want.

[hearty wasp]

so no proc gen after replacement either

[hearty wasp]

but you can't do that in NMSDK right now

[cosmic pivot]

Oh.

[hearty wasp]

you'd have to do it in exml and model viewer

[cosmic pivot]

Hm..

[hearty wasp]

and you can only move mesh by setting transformation values in model viewer

[cosmic pivot]

Meh, that's fine, i can make it in segments if needed

[hearty wasp]

and it requires all BC7 DDS textures instead of BC3

[cosmic pivot]

BC-- uh

[hearty wasp]

so you'll have to either just say "fuck it" and do all BC7 or convert them after export from blender

because you can only export custom mesh with NMSDK and not model viewer!

[hearty wasp]

DDS compression

just know the words BC1/BC3/BC5/BC7 and you'll be ok most of the time

[hearty wasp]

damn those screenies are gorgeous

[cosmic pivot]

Personally, I'd strongly prefer avoiding using custom animations

[hearty wasp]

cool

cos you can't

animation's broken in NMSDK

many things are!

[cosmic pivot]

Unusually tight security for such a heavily modded game

[hearty wasp]

not really security

just custom formats all around

[cosmic pivot]

Ah, I see.

I wonder if I should just custom-design an exomech and give it custom stats as part of the mod then.

[hearty wasp]

well you're gonna be replacing something either way

[green prairie]

I am starting to feeling a mod is changing the rewards of the mission board, I had one that was supposed to give me exosuit upgrade chart, it gave 5 starshield batteries instead

unless dud's sky mod changes that for some reason

[hearty wasp]

it could be just a vanilla bug

similar things had happened before

but I guess you can always try doing the same mission without the mod again

[green prairie]

I don't even know if it's the mod can be disabled without ruining the save, but might try

yea, put the disablemods.txt back to disable all of them and handed in the quest, still show exosuit upgrade chart as the reward but when you turn in it gives batteries

game scamming me now

[blissful ridge]

is there a mod that allows me to change the color of the skybox in space?

[green prairie]

I saw one that makes it black, no idea about custom

[unique ferry]

seems like the 14/10 experimental branch update hasn't released a changelog. I'm a bit afraid rn cuz i got bunch of mods installed

[hearty wasp]

nothing can break your save

the game can

with its vanilla quests

people here help fix em more than breaking em

so technically it's a net positive for mods

[hearty wasp]

if you use any luas you can just run em thru AMUMSS again anyway

[vernal thicket]

hey using NMSSE I put my storage cargos at10 x 10. Maybe it's the game but the last line is grayed out

if you have a lot sure

some don't need it, only those that change files that were updated

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1814

[plucky ivy]

👋 have come across an issue that I have not been able to find a solution to online, so here I am.

I have been playing the game just fine with mods, and now I cannot run the game at all unless disablemods.txt is present. Game won't launch otherwise - this also means no mods for me :(
Game wont launch if its changed to enablemods.txt either. Using Steam.

[hearty wasp]

Outdated mods

Game crash = mods no work

Mods no work = needs an update

[plucky ivy]

@hearty wasp I made sure I was using mods that were updated to be compatible with 4.0

[hearty wasp]

That's like, over a week ago

They're outdated now

It's 4.04 now

[plucky ivy]

I started playing again only a few days ago

Hmm okay

[hearty wasp]

Every little update can break mods

[plucky ivy]

I was playing with mods this morning, closed the game, went about doing my thing, came back and now its all borked

[hearty wasp]

It probably updated between that time then

[plucky ivy]

Its just bizarre that the game has to be with all vanilla files for it to even launch.

[hearty wasp]

Just check Nexus Mods to see if your mods are updated

[plucky ivy]

Yeah I checked

[hearty wasp]

If you dislike it, remember to ask Hello Games for official mod support

[plucky ivy]

No thats a problem

disablemods has to be present otherwise it will not launch at all. Which was not the case like a few hours ago

makes me scratch my head

[hearty wasp]

That's because that file is... Disabling your mods

Your mods are outdated

Outdated = no work = crash the game

[plucky ivy]

I deleted the entire mod folder, while disablemods was still not there and game still wont launch

just to test

[hearty wasp]

If that's the case try verifying your game's integrity

But also when you change the contents of your MODS folder

The game needs a couple turn off turn on to adjust

[plucky ivy]

turn off as in the game or my pc? xD

[hearty wasp]

The game

When it's crashing imagine it's having food poisoning

Now you've removed the source

It just needs another diarrhea or two to clear the system

[plucky ivy]

lul thanks

[hearty wasp]

But if that don't work

Do the verify game integrity thing on Steam

[daring yarrow]

what are some mods that makes the game hard even when youre high level

combat wise

[hearty wasp]

does "looking at your enemy causes you psychological damage" count as harder

if so I have 2

if not I have a WIP mod that multiplies sentinels by like 4

[green prairie]

dud's also rebalance combat I think, or at least space combat, no idea about "end game" but early space combat is somewhat difficulty unless you're actively improving your ship

[daring yarrow]

what is it

[daring yarrow]

yeah thatll do

[hearty wasp]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1011

there's an enhanced edition if you feel even more masochistic

[plucky ivy]

@hearty wasp verifying game files found only 1 missing file which was just disablemods - i think i just have to give up and accept that I cant play the game with mods

😢

For some reason the game is depending entirely on disablemods.txt to be there otherwise it will refuse to run

[fallow meadow]

Have you tried backing up your mods, to then delete a mod one at a time, or instead remove all and add 1 at a time? Mods can break the game when it updates. We have had plenty updates recently. maybe you find one mod being the culprit, while others still work. A broken mod will likely see an update soon again

[plucky ivy]

@fallow meadow yeah I've tried one mod that was updated to 4.03 to make sure and it still doesn't run. Even removing all traces of any modding, the game will not open unless disablemods is present, regardless if I have mods or not. Renaming it to enablemods still presents the same issue. The game is having a tantrum and refusing to run unless it's vanilla.

It's mind boggling and I don't know if I have the patience to figure out what's going on :')

[fallow meadow]

That makes me wonder if there is another issue at play. Although you said running the game with mods was no issue before.

[plucky ivy]

That is what I think but I have done verify game files and it's come up with nothing. Yes, when I was playing this morning all was working okay.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fallow meadow]

After verifying game files, it actually runs without issue?

[plucky ivy]

I have even disabled my anti virus

@fallow meadow yes because it redownloads the disablemods txt file, returning it to default installation.

[fallow meadow]

Correct, but then no crash or issue at all?

Are mods not working currently?

Or was there a change? They still go into PCBANKS, right?

[spark crescent]

no mods dont go into the PCBANKS folder they go into the MODS folder

[spark crescent]

the only thing you need to do in the pcbanks folder to do is to delete the disablemods.txt file

[lime mesa]

I LOVE MODDING

[terse gale]

Did the issue of mods not working yesterday get fixed yet?

[hearty wasp]

Do your mods not work?

[terse gale]

no. i try launch via Vortex to use my mods like i did before 4.0 and now NMS wont launch. and i made sure the DISABLEMODS.txt was gone. for some reason my game wont launch without the text file. all my mods are updated too.

[hearty wasp]

it'll help if we can have a screenie of your MODS folder

[terse gale]

I'm not at home right this sec....

[hearty wasp]

but it's the second time I've heard this happening and last time Devi moved to https://discord.com/channels/146101654981312513/964865106334875698 so I guess you can try there too

[hearty wasp]

you can do it when you are

anyway new mod

is there a way to get a save editor on pc gamepass version

[hearty wasp]

yeah both can edit that nowadays I believe

see pin for links to NMSSE and NomNom

[cyan warren]

does nomnom still work for 4.0?

[hearty wasp]

should be updated

if not there's NMSSE

[cyan warren]

yea i have nmsse but cant find my saves in my files

[fallow meadow]

its working thanks sm ive been trying for like an hour

[midnight gust]

Does anyone here remember “ambient mode”? https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/2860219962096854698/ I’ve been trying to get it to work in the recent version of NMS but with no luck. Just a blank white screen.

It was this mode where the camera would just fly around on its own and switch to random planets. Hidden game mode.

[green prairie]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1167

is this still working?

or there another one that do the same thing? Because nothing show up by searching "skip"

[hearty wasp]

check the comments

don't think there's a new one atm

[green prairie]

yea, looks like it's broken

[dawn veldt]

Hello! 🙂 I would like to know whether anyone here knows how the game decide which technology from legacy saves to convert into "Obsolete Technology".

Once again, I decided to have a look at the MBIN files, and I cannot find any useful info.

[hearty wasp]

legacy item table?

actually that just do products nvm

[dawn veldt]

You see, I'm not sure... It's mostly about craftable items and raw material, AFAIK.

Yep.

[hearty wasp]

but it's prolly one of the reality tables

[dawn veldt]

I'll try to show you what I found.

Might be in NMS_U3REALITY too. 🤷‍♂️

(not sure... I'm not very knowledgeable)

[hearty wasp]

if you cannot find anything there's always a chance that the game just transforms any unrecognized tech ID into obsolete tech

[dawn veldt]

oooohhhh Interesting...

but... I guess it would have to be coded somewhere though... Do you think such behaviour would be readable? I don't know how much of those informations are available to modders like me...

[hearty wasp]

I would not think so, no

if that is the case it would likely be hardcoded

an easy way to test would just be to edit your save and add in a tech with a gibberish ID

[dawn veldt]

... I think I found it...

(If I did find it, it would be funny because I just joined the wiki and I've been searching for "years" [not super thoroughly])

🔍

[hearty wasp]

we collectively were searching for how to increase sentinels in waves for practically years as well

until I just randomly opened the right file

happens

[dawn veldt]

Not sure though...

looking at "Upgrade" value="True" vs "Upgrade" value="False" in "NMS_REALITY_GCTECHNOLOGYTABLE" and "NMS_U3REALITY_GCTECHNOLOGYTABLE".

Could be about the adjacency bonuses. 🤷‍♂️

I'm having a better look right now.

[hearty wasp]

that's prolly just for actual tech vs tech upgrades

the the weapon itself and then the upgrades

[dawn veldt]

@hearty wasp Seems like you are right.

[hearty wasp]

also I'm p sure PROTECT is just the base player shield

or hazard protection, actually

if U3 is dedicated for obsolete tech, why would it be in there

[dawn veldt]

English is not my native language, so if you do find the answer, or something weird, tell me in Simple English, please. 😅

    <Property value="TkRawID.xml">
      <Property name="Value0" value="5716280999044657234" />
      <Property name="Value1" value="59613077570308688" />```
(METADATA\REALITY\reality\DEFAULTREALITY.xml)

[hearty wasp]

I mean the PROTECT tech

search for "PROTECT" in both tech tables

[dawn veldt]

Protect is "Hazard Protection".
"icon": "RENDER.PROTECTGENERIC.png"

[hearty wasp]

yes

then why would it be in the U3 tech table

if it is used for detecting obsolete tech

[dawn veldt]

Found them. OK.

Sorry for the delay. My brain and my eyes are pooped.

I'm not really sure what "U3" is for... Pretty sure it's a remain of 1.30.

I'm looking at "Core" value="True|False" right now... 🤷‍♂️

I think that Obsolete Technologies are related to either the "Core" or the "Upgrade" fields.

[hearty wasp]

Core is for unremoveable tech

Like again, hazard protection

[dawn veldt]

Yeah... I think that things that are not "core" get replaced into "obsolete technology".

I loaded my old save earlier tonight and it would make sense.

[hearty wasp]

No, not core just means you can install and uninstall them

Like the various weapons

I've something to show you

[dawn veldt]

I believe you, but I say that this might be somehow linked.

[dawn veldt]

OK

[dawn veldt]

Did you do that today?

[hearty wasp]

yeah just did that 10 minutes ago

was just waiting for the game to load

but yeah I think it's just turning unrecognized tech into obsolete

[dawn veldt]

Seems like it. 😅

Your first idea was the good one, apparently.

Thanks.

[hearty wasp]

occam's razor blah blah blah

[dawn veldt]

eh?

[hearty wasp]

just sounded like the easiest way for a game dev to implement lmao

[dawn veldt]

Sure.

I'll double-check, because the warp drive upgrades (the colours) are not obsolete, so I'll check names.

[hearty wasp]

the ship ones?

they're HDRIVEBOOST1 to HDRIVEBOOST3

[dawn veldt]

Oh... OK. That value simply never changed. 😛

1+1=2

I was mostly looking for a way to make a mod that would convert old technologies into their modern equivalent. Obviously, I would have to do everything manually, assuming it's even possible.

[hearty wasp]

I mean I'd think most people's obsolete tech would already be gone

been a year or two since it's first a thing

[dawn veldt]

It would be mostly for me, plus it would be just for fun.

[hearty wasp]

I suppose

[dawn veldt]

😆

[hearty wasp]

[dawn veldt]

Thanks again

[terse gale]

is there a way to supercharge ship slots with a save editor?

[unique crest]

is your goal just to get it back to what it was? does it need "repaired" or replaced?

[dawn veldt]

I'm not sure I get what you mean...

[unique crest]

the obsolete tech how does it work?

[dawn veldt]

Don't you know about "Obsolete Technology"?

[unique crest]

does it want you to replace it with new tech or repair it or uninstall it to get a packed mod

i know ABOUT it but i've never had to mess with it

i'm only asking because i found some stuff i can edit about it i'm trying to figure out what you want... i haven't found the "turn tech obsolete" tag yet though

[dawn veldt]

I'll try to explain.

I don't want obsolete technology. I want my old "Beam Focus Sigma" and "Beam Focus Tau" to turn into one or two Mining Beam modules.

Anyway...

[unique crest]

ok got ya i'll look into proc tech then

[dawn veldt]

I'm still looking into whether it even makes sense.

(something I'm working on)

... some technologies got replaced by another technology (like the "Advanced Mining Laser" and the "Optical Drill", IIRC), but not all of them.

[unique crest]

yeah i'm in reward tables now and it's all core items no upgrades... i'm still trying to find where the store in the station is to change the currency but i can only find the upgrade parts of it.

[dawn veldt]

The "Waveform Recycler"; I did not check whether it is actually unlocked...

[dawn veldt]

We already discovered that there is no table for that.

Everything that the game does not recognize becomes "Obsolete Technology".

[unique crest]

got ya

[dawn veldt]

I don't even know whether that's possible.

[unique crest]

so you may have to compare to old files

and copy pasta them back

[dawn veldt]

What do you mean?

[unique crest]

if you find the new tech

you can find that file in an old version of the game and compare

[dawn veldt]

That's pretty much what I did.

[unique crest]

sorry for wasting your time ><

[dawn veldt]

no. no. That's OK. You are not.

I was still working on that when you posted here. 🙂

[unique crest]

what is strange is it has a spot in Coststable

sorry not cost

[dawn veldt]

The simplest thing to do would be to make a mod that increases the reward for dismantling "Obsolete Technology".

Right now, dismantling "Obsolete Technology" only provide 2 Wiring Loom and 50 Nanite Clusters, but it should be doubled.

In fact, I don't understand why I only get 2+50, because the file says 4+100!

I really don't understand...

[unique crest]

are you playing with difficulty raised?

it could half your reward

[dawn veldt]

I tried changing difficulty to a customized "relaxed" mode and it did not improve.

Anyway... I don't want to look at that for now.

I'm still making a table for me, so I know which blueprints to re-learn (because I forget all of them)

... and to know which techs/modules to "gift" to myself. 😅

[runic solstice]

Is the save editor updated for waypoint yet?

Been trying to do a 60 slot super slots via mods, so far I'd say it's maxed out to 4 and can't go past that value

[shy grove]

awww why you delete @vale iron was gonna drool over it

[vale iron]

I put it in main chat, since the people that requested it don't come here 🙂

[plush wigeon]

too late I already drooled on it and I can't even use mods 😄

[hearty wasp]

no

[fallow meadow]

With Save Editor, yes you can, you'd have to edit the following Raw JSON for the ship you want. Below it is my ship [0]. Then make sure to add and pay attention to correct formatting. You also want to make sure the location to add actually is an active slot. (X=column starting at 0, Y=row, starting at 0)

[hearty wasp]

oh interesting, so you can change where they are

[fallow meadow]

Yes, separate section, just to index those

I know modding in INVENTORYTABLE is not working from what I heard

[hearty wasp]

hm, if that's the case it maybe save limited

does save editor still work?

figured this might be the best place to ask - anyone know how to extract audio/music files in-game? been thinking about the club music in the settlement nightclub, i'd love to nab it without other sfx 🤔

i guess the easiest way without file extraction would be recording with sounds muted, but i am wondering if the file can be pulled...

[hearty wasp]

Music may be proc gen from stems

But all are in bnks I think

[vernal pumice]

🤔

[late obsidian]

huh, including the club music? i know the general overworld/exploration/etc music is proc gen, but i figured the club music would be a different case 🤔

[hearty wasp]

No one knows unless someone starts diving

But who's it gonna be?

[late obsidian]

fair enough! i'm a complete newbie at digging through nms files, so i doubt i'd be able to get anything 😆

[hearty wasp]

If you've done any audio shit with Cyberpunk 2077 then it's the same with NMS

Both use wwise and BNK archives

For extraction you can just use 2077's bnk tool

(which is originally made for NMS)

[quiet geyser]

guess I need mods to make the game run correctly.... with all these disappearing items and partial saving and such

[ornate pier]

is there a mod that adds more filters to the star map? for example something that makes you see only 3star economy systems or only pirate systems

[hearty wasp]

not sure what you mean by "disappearing items" but there's a mod that stops autosaves

just search auto save on Nexus

[hearty wasp]

can't

[ornate pier]

k ty 😦

[night adder]

@hearty wasp If you tell me there's a mod that makes Save Points or Beacons trigger Autosaves rather than Restore Points, I may experience a rare case of PC envy lol.

[hearty wasp]

autosaves are not toggleable

but there are mods that lets you save whenever you want via an emote

so the combination of both is a good analog

[plush wigeon]

I want to turn off "ship saves are manual saves". that's absoutely not an ok change

[hearty wasp]

can't

[plush wigeon]

I et the point (because there are places regular manual saves can't be done like space stations) but it's still no good

[green prairie]

wdym can't be done on space station, you just enter the ship and leave

ah you mean why they added it, yea

should've just added save station to all space stations

[fast orbit]

Does anyone know of a mod that increases the time between storms? My settlement is on a planet that has storms like every 10 mins.

[fast orbit]

I agree whole heartedly. I dislike it as well.

[merry wasp]

@plush wigeon @fast orbit https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2525

[plush wigeon]

this mod just disables auto-saving, it says. hmmm

[fast orbit]

Thanks but I have tried that mod but it eliminates the autosaves, doesnt stop the ship from saving.

I get in and out of my ship frequently so I have no way of having a manual save.

[merry wasp]

not sure how it works

but if it as the old system ship alwasy saved

[fast orbit]

No worries

[merry wasp]

but auto save

not manual

[fast orbit]

I could use the mod if I had a way of having a manual save with it.

Thank you for the info tho

[plush wigeon]

honjestly I want them to gie us a quick menu item "manual save", no building anything, no getting in and out of a ship. just manual save where and when you want, and only then

[fast orbit]

I agree

[merry wasp]

cough

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1292

[plush wigeon]

where those are the only manual saves

[fast orbit]

Right now to have a manual save, I'm copying my save file to a backup folder every day or every hour. That's my only recourse right now.

[plush wigeon]

well being on console, I am simply.... screwed 😛

[fast orbit]

sorry

[plush wigeon]

one step closer to getting steam keys though

[merry wasp]

?

[fast orbit]

i hope that helps

[merry wasp]

@fast orbit not sure if you can run thsoe 2 mods togehter

but that might what you need

[plush wigeon]

oh I think about it every so often, getting the game on steam, for various reasons, this just adds another impetus

[merry wasp]

manual save with quick menu and autosave like old days

[merry wasp]

ill add another

[plush wigeon]

do people generally publish source for their mods?

[merry wasp]

https://github.com/MetaIdea/nms-amumss-lua-mod-script-collection

you have no idea

[plush wigeon]

I know about that and probably have it checked out too

[plush wigeon]

yep it's in my nms repos collection

[merry wasp]

a few more reasons

custom mods galore 🙂

[plush wigeon]

I don't want to run experimental most of the time probably. but the ability to back up my save files just from this game and restore any single one? yes please

[merry wasp]

of course best reason to get on steam

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2054

[plush wigeon]

lolol

that goes in the "cons" column 😛

at least not publicly

[eternal dome]

he's hiding

we must find him

[hearty wasp]

anyway if you have a question you should just ask

the advantage of text messaging is that the text stays

[steel crypt]

Kind of like a beeper

[hearty wasp]

I'm barely old enough to know the existence of such an artefact

[steel crypt]

Dude, I was kickin' it. I rocked the pager.
Before that, ( I didn't have one of these) there was the original "beeper" that didn't have a display. Just a red light and a "beeper". So when it went off, you had no idea who was calling you. Mostly used for business etc. and I guess only one person trying to reach you.

[robust spruce]

Oh God beepers

[unique crest]

https://next.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/collections/9cespn

[night adder]

@steel crypt Those were mostly used in conjunction with an answering service, they'd receive a call for you, ping your beeper, and then you'd have to call them to get your message.

Yes, the original caller display and voicemail was just people, lol.

[steel crypt]

ahh makes sense

[flat hemlock]

is there an autopilot mod?

[hearty wasp]

No

[flat hemlock]

ive always wanted it

i would just sit there while i eat or something and watch my ship move slowly to a distant planet

[hearty wasp]

I mean that's kinda what the pulse engine is for

[flat hemlock]

i guess so but like the pulse engine gets you there in 30 seconds and isnt exactly peaceful

[hearty wasp]

you can make a mod that slows it down I guess

[flat hemlock]

yeah

i usually just position my controller so that the trigger is pressed down or but something heavy on my forward arrow key lol

[plush wigeon]

autopilot when pirates might drop in on you? mmmmm

[flat hemlock]

Yeah I mean that is part of the game

But the game is also visually aesthetic. And to me there’s something oddly beautifully about closing in on a large planet for two hours as it slowly grows bigger and bigger

It used to be a feature back in the day. The ships would keep their speed

[vale iron]

Hmm I might add that to gLonely, or as an option

Slower pulse speeds

[hearty wasp]

pulse speed is just one param

easiest shit to edit

[flat hemlock]

On a different note, are there popular mods that don’t mess up the overall feeling and basis of the game? Visual enhancements, quality of life mods, hell is there a mod that fixes stuttering?

Economy mods?

[vale iron]

Search Nexusmods for last updated and just see what stands out. Don't search just for popular stuff or you'll get a lot of old, broken mods

[flat hemlock]

Bet

[hearty wasp]

I actually have one of the least intrusive mods in the game

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/824

cos it doesn't even touch the main game itself

[flat hemlock]

Doesn’t seem super useful. I’ll star it for when I look more into mods tho. Thanks!

[hearty wasp]

it's super useful

when people want to know if mods work in multiplayer

[flat hemlock]

Well wouldn’t a mod worth installing have that info the readme or description anyways

[hearty wasp]

doesn't stop people from asking

some people just need that constant reminder

object permanence is a... fading art

[green prairie]

is there a mod or anything to help with hotspot placement, I don't even know where I should be aiming to get the max percentage, it's already a fight to get 1% under the max, why tf it's so hard

[unique crest]

they recently changed it on vanilla so you get diminishing returns

[green prairie]

yes, but that's for stacking alot of them, you can't even get one on top of the 100%

[night adder]

@green prairie It's nearly impossible without a lot of trial and error, because the game calculates location values in units, with 12 decimal places of precision.

So if you're off by 0.000000000001u, you're not on the 100% spot.

[green prairie]

yea, the this is weirdly designed, there is no reason to make it this hard

it even encourages you to scale down the size of the thing to the smallest possible so it gets easier for you to at least aim for X9%

[night adder]

The fact is, it may say 99%, but you could be hitting 99.999% and that is factored into rate. In the end, it makes a negligible difference - you're gonna hit diminishing returns by your 3rd Extractor on an S Class spot, and your 6th on a C Class spot either way.

[fading sequoia]

how do I get around the construction limit, I tried Exosolar's Beyond Base Building but it doesn't remove the limit

[vale iron]

Which limit? 16,000 base parts across a save, or 3,000 base parts per base?

[fading sequoia]

the 16.000 base parts

[vale iron]

There is no known way around that

[night adder]

@fading sequoia Some friends with save edit capability is the only workaround of any sort. They could make exact copies of your bases and upload exact duplicates, allowing you to delete them without losing access, but you'd need them to be present if you wanted to edit them.

[fading sequoia]

I already have a save editor for blender so I'll try to place the parts in there

[mortal sphinx]

have any of you used tesseraction mods? i need to find and alternative. It basically allows your to build lower than 180 degree

[vale iron]

Does it not work anymore? I have some old scripts, but I hesitate to try them as things might have changed

[mortal sphinx]

it doesnt work properly, i can only apply it above or below a building part

can amumss update the Tesseraction mod? it does have the .lua file in there

[vale iron]

You can try, but again, it's old enough that I don't know if it will work

Give it a shot

[hearty wasp]

yes

ok so prob not the best idea lol

[hearty wasp]

I'd be skeptical of the manager's ability to install the mods correctly as well

[red spoke]

yeeee

[hearty wasp]

since a number of us are packing multiple paks inside one zip

[red spoke]

fair enough

i should have done it correctly now?

unless i need them directly in mods folder?

@hearty wasp

[steel crypt]

You need a .pak file in the MODS folder. No sub folders.

[green prairie]

is there a mod for snapping buildings? Like when stacking extractors, a mod that snap the next one on top, or if you want to place more than one battery it snaps the battery beside the other, more for symmetry than anything since it will annoy me

[peak pelican]

how do you get to gal 257 using a save editor?

i used the same method i did to get to 256 and ended up in 2

[fallow meadow]

Here you'll find some information that is likely of use (in #bot-spam )
<#bot-spam message>

[peak pelican]

thanks

i think i wont bother as it it wont even tell me if i did it right

and the risk of it breaking mt save aint worth

256 is enough

[fallow meadow]

I would suggest to always make sure you have proper backup of your save files before making any edits. That way you can mess up all you wish, without risk of losing anything. Either way values in the save editor are 0-255, while we refer to them in-game as 1-256. It is possible to edit the value 256 (galaxy 257), but as explained, it is actually sort of a glitched version of an existing galaxy.

[peak pelican]

oh

i think i put 256 in the editor so im already there without even knowing xD

so when i put 257 in the editor it took me to 2

maybe that explains why i couldnt teleport to my freighter until i summoned it to another system

so 255 is Odyalutai and 256 is Yilsrussimil even tho it said Odyalutai

i need to go rename a base then, thanks again for clearing that up

[peak pelican]

ok no

so i put in 255 1st time in editor and now have a base in 256 so i need to put in 256 in editor not 257

[eternal dome]

thx

[silk totem]

Any clue if there is a mod to turn off the camera recentering behaviour when in third person on foot on pc?

[vale iron]

You mean after a certain amount of time it re-centers automatically? I don't think there's a setting for that, but I'll look.

Hmm, there might be a setting for it. Does it take 2.2 seconds to start?

[short mirage]

hi guys, is there a vr special section here anywhere?

[vale iron]

No, and there aren't many VR mods. Most of us don't have the equipment

[hearty wasp]

I'm poor

[short mirage]

hm okay 🙂 me too, only have a rift s ^^

anyways, is there an actual WORKIN fast scan mod anywhere?

[vale iron]

gGame should be working, there's a scan sub-set you can use

if you only want that

[short mirage]

whats that exactly? just want to scan quicker everything, its annoyin in VR to wait the 2 seconds everytime 😛

[vale iron]

gGame is the name of the mod. There are different options, one of them is just the scan settings

[short mirage]

aah oka

y

[vale iron]

Which are almost instant and highlight things better

[short mirage]

its on nexus?

[vale iron]

Yep

[short mirage]

fine thx

[vale iron]

One sec

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1347

[short mirage]

found it all fine

going to test it quick

[vale iron]

4.05 just came out. I just updated it

[magic lava]

What took so long

[short mirage]

😄 okay then i did the "update" too.. downloaded the 4.4

okay, standalone it works, now i have to find the mod, that struggles with it 😄 have only a handful, so it should be not that hard ^^

[vale iron]

If you show me a screenshot of y our mods folder, I might be able to spot the conflict

[robust spruce]

Jesus Gumsk you're faster than a a nevermind

[short mirage]

all fine i found it, this one is the black sheep

[vale iron]

Hah, I actually guessed the last experimental was the next patch and built my updates around it and had them all zipped up and ready to go

[silk totem]

Yes. I am not sure if it is 2.2 but sounds right

And sadly there is no setting for it

Got a group of 4 and we all just got the game but this is a tad in the way

[vale iron]

In the files there might be. I'll try to make something

[silk totem]

That'd be great, thank you

[vale iron]

You want other changes with it, or just that?

[silk totem]

Oh no just that, i believe that is the only issue as far as camera is concerned

[vale iron]

Try this. I haven't tested it, but it might work.

[silk totem]

Oh hell yea, thanks. Will try when at home and update you

[short mirage]

what is wrong here? why i have suddenly such gaps between the parts?

[steel crypt]

fpp

floating point precision

[neat hedge]

Just sharing my mod list here to get it updated over time

[magic lava]

Need Sean Sean's Sean

[neat hedge]

It's there

Just not added to my mod list cause it made my game run slower lol

I usually use it when i want to take pics in Guildford

[hearty wasp]

I've never heard of someone using RecTUM by itself

[tall knoll]

someone maybe know which mod makes my ships tracers spasm since todays update?

[short mirage]

whats that mean? sorry didnt know this problem in my last plays .. first time for me

[hearty wasp]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2OGwnRik24

[short mirage]

okay, sounds stupid, but is there anything i can do against? xD ? or do i just have to try another planet? ^^

[hearty wasp]

if you can change the fundamentals of programming, sure

otherwise, no

[short mirage]

kk

so .. ehm .. no 😛

[quasi garden]

any mod to get the ||new capes?||

[hearty wasp]

you can get it with Getting Head's lua script

not the pak

[quasi garden]

no way to get them permanently rn?

[rapid furnace]

What

[hearty wasp]

not sure what you mean by permanent

[silk totem]

yes it works, thank you. The caracther still does not move straight if you hold W for some reason and goes to the right slowly, so i'll try the other already existing third person mods and see what they do

[quasi garden]

unlocking the capes then turning the mod off so i have them

[hearty wasp]

then yeah

If you're savvy enough you can add it to Consumerism yourself

you can also just edit your save to have it on

[quasi garden]

how do i add the new capes to consumerism myself

[hearty wasp]

you just find its corresponding product ID

and then you make an entry yourself according to the format of the list at the top of the lua

or you can wait until the expeditions/community reward comes out for em in vanilla and let me do it

one is prolly quicker than another

[wicked osprey]

How do I make sure I have my mods installed correctly? Also my game no longer launches either, do I put the mods in the mods folder or the PCBANKS?

[hearty wasp]

you have outdated mods

[steel crypt]

DUD'S SKY updated v4.05.1
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/507

[silver ore]

Are there any mods that expose more total stat values in-game? All I'm finding are mods that peg the RNG to max, but nothing in the vein of "with your current layout your current maximum fauna payout is blah"

[hearty wasp]

don't think so

don't think it possible

[green prairie]

any mod that makes permadeath sentinels be like normal/survival? I don't mind them being deadlier or anything, but the mode making sentinels spawn on every single planet os quite annoying

I know I can turn them off, but I just want it to be like normal, not sentinels everywhere

[fierce condor]

Is it possible to use a save editor to get quicksilver? I don't want it for any other materials but quicksilver is just a pain in the ass when you don't have a lot of time

[green prairie]

yes

[hearty wasp]

I just found out capes applied by Getting Head can be seen by others in multiplayer?

at least on planets, that's wild

[junior grove]

Are there any up-to-date mods that allow you to apply photo mode filters in regular gameplay?

[hearty wasp]

I saw one on Nexus

hmm, can't find it anymore, strange

[cyan plover]

quick question, im using nomnom and see like a season rewards and twitch rewards. Selecting them would give me character cosmentics yeah?

[hearty wasp]

they give you those expedition and twitch rewards, yes

[cyan plover]

there is also a open accound data Json editor which is shaded out, i would assume that would be values and such?

[hearty wasp]

I don't use NomNom so you'll need to give me a screenshot

[hearty wasp]

that'd be editing the json file raw

[fallow meadow]

@cyan plover make sure you have a backup of your saves before editing. I am not sure which version you are using for NomNom, but currently, there is only a working beta version available on their own Discord.
The JSON editor is for editing raw data.

[hearty wasp]

it's useful for when you know what params you're looking for specifically

and also for destroying your save if you're not

[cyan plover]

That would explain why i didnt get the trail i wanted to get LOL

[cyan plover]

Oh im not sure what the modding community has to offer for this game yet, quite literally just wanted the Anitmatter backpack trail

[fallow meadow]

I recommend you check the GitHub and look for their Discord (scroll to bottom) to be updated on changes and a possible working beta. Else you can use the NMSSaveEditor by goatfungus if you wish
Links can be found in the pins here

[cyan plover]

I cant seem to find my file save anywhere using the NMSS, i was able to instantly get it with NomNom though

Contribution by: Devilin Pixy#9298

[fallow meadow]

Might not auto-detect correctly, having to manually browse there

[cyan plover]

Im unable to find the save file still through the NMSS 😦 i can find it if i go through AppData in a file explorer

[fallow meadow]

Are you on Game Pass?

[cyan plover]

Yep

[fallow meadow]

Once you get to that large number folder, in NMSSE browsing to path, just select to open it, then check the dropdown for saves. Do make sure you have NMSSE updated to the latest version

[cyan plover]

this? \HelloGames.NoMansSky_bs190hzg1sesy

[fallow meadow]

A step or two further I believe

I can not quite verify, as I do not have Game Pass myself. But I know it should work the way I describe

[cyan plover]

I dont have anything like that for me, I can do Default user, Cache and then its just blank

[fallow meadow]

Let me write it out without the %LocalAppdata%

C:\Users\<UserName>\Appdata\Local\Packages\HelloGames.NoMansSky_bs190hzg1sesy\SystemAppData\wgs\...
Then it will start showing large folder names with numbers

You may have to change view settings to allow hidden files and folders

(Windows Explorer > View Tab > Options > Change Folder and Search Options > View > Hidden Files and Folders > Show ...)

[cyan plover]

NMSS is also glitching out

[fallow meadow]

What version are you using?

[cyan plover]

the latest version through github, not sure which version number it is though

think its 1.11.2

[fallow meadow]

1.11.2 and have you saved your saves in-game first, so they are not older pre-Waypoint saves?

This update changed a lot, making the updated save editors sort of incompatible with old saves and vise versa

And how is it glitching out exactly? Maybe a screenshot?

[cyan plover]

Lemme see if i try to find Appdata it glitches out, but its not in my users through the application

Okay, so i finally got to app data but uh, no hello games

I did find a hellogames in roaming which led me to the usual Default User> Cache>Blank

[fallow meadow]

Is there a 'Local' in AppData?

[cyan plover]

Yep, but doesnt have a hello games in any of the 3 drives i have

[fallow meadow]

Select local, then look for Packages

and so on....

There is no clearly named Hello Games folder for Game Pass

There is this folder eventually
HelloGames.NoMansSky_bs190hzg1sesy

Which is hard to find with a search

[cyan plover]

yep, So one of my drives has a bunch of Microsoft files for packages, the other has actual game files but none of them say HelloGames.NoManSky, and the other has basic computer stuff

[fallow meadow]

I don't know what to tell you ... the location should be as I provided it

It does explain how NMSSE has an issue finding it

[hearty wasp]

if you're searching with windows explorer that may be why you can't find it

[fallow meadow]

What does NomNom show for path?

NomNom found it?

[cyan plover]

Im not saying your wrong and i greatly appreciate the guidance, i just think that my xbox files arent accessible from NMSS for some reason. And yeah NomNom found it but doesnt alter anything that i try to put in

[fallow meadow]

What I mean, is that if NomNom found it, you can check that path it uses

[cyan plover]

OOOO your right!

gotta find that out XD

yeah no NomNom used the path you had said, but NMSS wont show the HelloGames.NoMansSky

[fallow meadow]

It should do, by clicking one folder at a time to get there.

Let me see if I can think of a workaround to make things easier

[cyan plover]

IM SO SORRY, it was massively hidden within the Microsoft megadump of folders

[fallow meadow]

No worries, it can happen (especially with how clearly MS names their files folders)

[cyan plover]

what do i select after wgs? i have finally found the big number folders you had described

[fallow meadow]

You will have to try one of those large numbers, then just select it to open and check the dropdown. It should pop if you got the right one

[cyan plover]

Highly appreciate it

[fallow meadow]

Note: When making a manual backup, it is that full wgs folder with content inside you have to copy to have all saves and required data

[fallow meadow]

@hearty wasp Does Anomaly Re-Flashed work with 4.05?

(Looking at what it edits, I assume it will)

[hearty wasp]

I assume so

[worthy saffron]

nom nom keeps crashing on me whenever i go to edit data. any tips?

[night adder]

@worthy saffron The updated version for 4.0 is only available on the Discord afaik.

[worthy saffron]

yeah just got it. seems to work now. another question.
how can i give myself the shroud of freedom helmet? save editor and nom nom doesnt seem to have them

[flat hemlock]

Are there any good performance mods

[steel crypt]

Not really. Are you using a potato like me?
I have a personal mod for grass that does some LOD stuff and a little thinning. Interested? @flat hemlock

This is compatible with NMS 4.05

It gives me some FPS while also increasing the grass render distance a little.

[flat hemlock]

Noo my pc is pretty powerful but the game just doesn’t cooperate I guess

[vale iron]

I think Mjstral has a performance tweaks mod over on the Creative and Sharing Hub linked just above

[rose sundial]

Does anyone know if it’s possible to scan through Euclid and list all locations of say S class multitools?

[steel crypt]

The guys that would know are here:

[elder wagon]

Sometimes I wish the mods worked

Like one minute Im exploring a cool planet I see with a overhaul mod that reworks terrain. then seconds later I see my home screen due to it crashing.

[green prairie]

any way to mod the UI so while on third person view in the ship it would display those info you have on the panel on the bottom of the screen or something? The map I know is probably impossible, but the other 4

[lime mesa]

I downloaded the NMSSE from the latest version link on github page and my antivirus software flagged it?

Anyone else having this issue? Im using free version of Panda Dome, Windows 10 Home x64

[silver ore]

isn't the nms editor a .jar + .bat file?

guess it got changed since last I looked

[hearty wasp]

there's an exe in there

antivirus is just being antiproductive as usual

[silver ore]

I do see a lot of complaints on the panda forum about falsely flagging exe files as Win32/Exploit.gen, apparently their method of handling it is whitelisting exes on a case-by-case basis which seems...odd

[fallow meadow]

It is indeed a java application that runs through a batch file. The .exe is just a self-extracting archive, which will provide the expected files.

[short mirage]

Guys, is there a way for QoL switch modding? like hover mode and such basic things? or isnt it possible in any way?

[hearty wasp]

we don't really do switch moding here

[short mirage]

only a question 😄 maybe anyone knows anything about this

didnt expected now a full How to do thing 😛

[hearty wasp]

I've only heard one person making a passing comment about modding on switch

and I forgor their name

and it's most likely modding on a rom rather than on actual hardware

[short mirage]

okay

thx

[hallow fossil]

I just got the idea about playing NMS on ironmode, i.e no allowing purchasing items from the galactic hub but earning them yourself.

Do you guys know any good mods that would play along with this concept?

[green prairie]

if it's the goatfungus one shouldn't have an exe in there

but yea, the .exe I think it's just glorified .zip file

[gray swan]

Ive tried to find a base that I cant access anymore in NMSSE , but its not showing 😦

[fallow meadow]

@gray swan How are you trying to find it in NMSSE?

[gray swan]

ive loaded my save , then going to bases and storage .. its showing nothing 😦

its my only base , which got buried after the last patch

[fallow meadow]

You likely have to try the Raw JSON editor

Also make sure to create a backup of your saves first

[gray swan]

thanks 🙂 , would you know where I should look in the JSON ?

[fallow meadow]

I assume you are using the latest version and you have saved in-game before using NMSSE?

Yes, I can tell you exactly where to look

[gray swan]

I am and have

ive disabled cloud saves aswell

[fallow meadow]

No need for that when using the editor

Ok, so you select the Raw JSON editor through the 'Edit' tab up top

A new window pops up

Left side has a folder like structure

• symbol expands

You will have to expand 'PlayerStateData'

[gray swan]

ok

[fallow meadow]

Then you need to scroll down to 'PersistentPlayerBases' (likely about halfway down)

More or less directly above various ones starting the name with Chest....

[gray swan]

got it

[fallow meadow]

Expand 'PersistentPlayerBases' and you will see numbers surrounded by square brackets

The amount of numbers can vary, depending on the amount of bases you own as well as possibly other player bases

[gray swan]

I have a sub folder called [0]

[fallow meadow]

You will have to click each number [0], [1], [2], while checking the right side data for clues about the base selected.

Top numbers starting at [0] are all yours

[gray swan]

I only have one base 🙂 so this should be it right ?

[fallow meadow]

So click [0], verify by clicking in the right side data, where you scroll all the way down for 'Owner' info as well as base name and more

[gray swan]

yup its shows me and the base name

[fallow meadow]

Then we can most likely assume it to be the correct base.

In this case you wish to delete the base, correct? Or do you wish to try move it up above terrain to not lose it?

[gray swan]

move it of thats possible to do ?

[fallow meadow]

Sure

Has the base been uploaded?

[gray swan]

hmm im not sure

I doubt it , if its a button I need to press

[fallow meadow]

Because if it is, deleting it, will not delete it from the server, as this only happens through interaction with the Base Computer

Which is why moving is likely the best solution, after which you can actually still decide to properly delete

[gray swan]

ok

[fallow meadow]

Alright, now to move the base

[gray swan]

I need to build a base on stilts next time 🙂

[fallow meadow]

Or ask the terrain nicely to behave and not grow on you

[gray swan]

🙂

[fallow meadow]

Either way ... at the top of the Save Data for your base (you were already in it), you will see BaseVersion, GalacticAddress and Position, correct?

[gray swan]

yup

[fallow meadow]

How deep under the surface is your base?

[gray swan]

its below the bedrock

I think it was about 6ui below where I could get

[fallow meadow]

I know it would be a wild guess, but we need to try an estimate.

It will be some trial and error either way, as I am too lazy to do the vector math for this

[gray swan]

its ok 🙂 I can play around until I can see it 🙂

[fallow meadow]

The Position shows 3 values as follows:

    "Position":[
        120.1693115234375,    <--- X
        433.9227294921875,    <--- Y
        -422.38427734375      <--- Z
    ],

Y is the height value, but these depend on the Forward vector as well. So try alter the Y value by adding/subtracting and then save after closing the editor window, then save again on the Main tab.

Then check in game to see how it moved

Go back in to adjust some more, rinse repeat until you can get to the base again

[gray swan]

currently I have these values

[fallow meadow]

Ok, so if you think it is about 10u down, increase the 2nd value by adding 10 to it. Make sure to leave formatting in tact.

[gray swan]

ok thanks so much for the help !

[fallow meadow]

Do let me know if you need further assistance with this, OR once you managed to get it sorted. If need be we can possibly further tweak some things, or try an alternative solution by placing a new base computer in-game, use that to copy the previous base data to, to then make things easier to go from

[gray swan]

thats awesome , thanks !!

[gray swan]

@fallow meadow if you have time , could you talk me through how to delete the base ? I cant seem to get it above ground

[fallow meadow]

@gray swan Let us try the alternative first?

Place a base computer in-game, somewhere near or any location for that matter

Then save the game and exit to main menu.

Open the editor again, look for this new base that has appeared in the list

[gray swan]

ok
