[vale iron]

Other than that, I'm out of ideas

[worthy saffron]

nope, always had the same ships or got them myself

[hearty wasp]

Unless you haven't saved in game at all in single player after editing the save, I wouldn't say it's the fault of save editing or the save editor

It'd be more something for HG to fix

[worthy saffron]

ive had the issue for years, put in multiple tickets. never had a fix besides the "remove mods or reinstall" stuff

[hearty wasp]

So it's not a new thing?

Did you edit thte save like years ago?

[worthy saffron]

yeah, was about 2 or 3 years ago

[hearty wasp]

Lmao ok

Then there's no way it's the editing that's causing it

Updates would've remade the save structure enough to fix it

It could be a quest data thing

Maybe a quest you had years ago

[worthy saffron]

no way to fix that?

[hearty wasp]

Not really

If you dunno which quest it is you can't yeet it

[worthy saffron]

nevermind. same issue just happened on a new save. he comes to my system, we are in the same group but he doesnt show up anywhere

[hearty wasp]

lmao

does the system got a lotta bases

[worthy saffron]

it happens even in systems with no bases

[fresh zinc]

Am I able to get the pocket reality generator from the save editor?

It says I claimed it in the anomaly but it's not in my build menu

[hearty wasp]

ye

there're links to the editors in the pins

there should be sections in their respective GUI so it shouldn't require more additional explanation

[fierce ibex]

Is there a hacking mod? For I mean, hacking a few sentinals to work for you?

[hearty wasp]

no

[fresh zinc]

does anyone have any cool Resurgent freighter seeds?

[wooden basin]

does anyone know how to run consumerism on pc?

[green prairie]

you download the pak file, go to your game's folder, inside the PCBANKS folder you create one called MODS

put the consumerism pak inside it

inside the PCBANKS folder you will see a file called DISABLEMODS.txt

delete it too

[rocky tendon]

Is it worth playing with mods? Do they stop achievements?

[green prairie]

then just ruin the game

they don't

well, at least I don't know any that does

[wooden basin]

@green prairie where would i find that folder? i just want one decoration lol

[green prairie]

what version are you playing?

[wooden basin]

i downloaded it from the xbox app

[green prairie]

on PC?

[wooden basin]

yep

[green prairie]

well, the windows store version I don't know how to mod, but if you can find where the game is installed, the folders inside it might be the same

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/u6fxpe/so_you_can_install_mods_for_nms_on_the_xbox_app/

[wooden basin]

rip i might just try to find a placeholder lol

[green prairie]

the process is basically the same, just the folder place is different

[wooden basin]

that link actually helps a lot thank you!

[hearty wasp]

if you like the mods you use then yes

[wooden basin]

so ive found the folder, deleted the no mod thing, made a a folder for it and pasted the file zipped and unzipped into it (reloaded each time) and nothing, any suggestions?

[green prairie]

you downloaded the pak or the lua?

[wooden basin]

pak

[green prairie]

when you loaded the game did it show the mod warning screen?

[wooden basin]

nope

im in pcbanks, deleted the no mod file. made a folder called mods and pasted the file i downloaded from nexus into the folder. not sure what im doing wrong

[green prairie]

is the file by itself or inside a folder too?

[wooden basin]

folder

it was zipped so i unzipped it thinking that might help

[green prairie]

leave the pak inside the MODS folder, not nested inside a folder inside the MODS folder

and unzipped, yes

[wooden basin]

how do i remove it from the folder? sorry im super new at this so i appreciate your patience lol

wait i might have it now one moment

there we go i got it 😅 thanks for the help man

i like how the mod doesnt make stuff cheap either so you still have to grind for it. doesnt completely ruin the game or anything

[fresh zinc]

if i wanna use a save editor to change my freighter and what it looks like which seed slot would i need to change?

[hearty wasp]

NMSSE has a "generate" button that you simply press

someone else will answer you with the NomNom equivalent in time

[fresh zinc]

Can someone try to find the seed for this freighter?

[hearty wasp]

that's entirely up to chance

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[hearty wasp]

try asking there

they should have a depository of seeds

[lime mesa]

New here but I modded the game and now none of my ships work. They appear damaged and can't launch off the ground. I've tested all the mods to see if there is a conflict somewhere but it appears to be any mod.

[hearty wasp]

try removing half your mods at a time

[lime mesa]

What do you mean, like select half and remove them?

[hearty wasp]

ye

unless the brokenness is saved by the game

then you just need to fix the ships

[lime mesa]

But I removed them 1 by one and all the mods have the same output

[hearty wasp]

did you try removing all of em?

[lime mesa]

If I remove all the mods then the ships work fine

[hearty wasp]

cool

then remove half of em

understand that it could be more than 1 mod that's causing it

[lime mesa]

True

[hearty wasp]

and only yeeting 1 at a time does little to verify a combination of errors

[lime mesa]

Alright I'll try that

I'll ket you know if it works

Let*

[warm mantle]

Has anyone worked on a mod to show the complete 'route' to a destination on the Galaxy Map?

[hearty wasp]

we have no access to that function

at least if there is, I don't think anyone's found it

[ancient slate]

is there any way to get the raw voice lines for the exosuit's AI?

you know, like when you first start the game and hear "beginning exosuit initialization"

[fluid solstice]

I know that there are some mods adding their own exosuit voice replacements. So the files are probably somewhere. 🤔

[ancient slate]

Yeah, I know about the custom exosuit voice mods

Thanks! :)

How would one go about unpacking the .pak files in the GAMEDATA/PCBANKS folder? I assume this is where the voices are stored

[fluid solstice]

I think there are some tools for it. NMS modding studio or how it's called?

[hearty wasp]

https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/NoMansSky:The_Modding_Basics

audio, especially language-specific audio, will need additional steps to unpack further

[hearty wasp]

join the modding discord and go to the audio channel

[summer dew]

Is there a mod to show how much fps you have?

[hearty wasp]

no

just use fraps

or some free fps counter out there

[green prairie]

if you're on steam they have it built-in

[summer dew]

How do I enable that

[green prairie]

Steam > Settings > In-Game tab

[summer dew]

Alr

Is high contrast white or black

[green prairie]

green

[proper vector]

why top right

[green prairie]

because I am right handed

and no single game I have ever played had anything on the top right, so it won't be in the way of anything

[proper vector]

im also right handed

its always top left always

[hearty wasp]

I love older stuff, that's why I love MILF, and if you love the old stuff, you'll love MILF too

[lime mesa]

Anybody else having problems with their ship not launching with mods enabled?

[hearty wasp]

sounds like just you

any mod from before October?

[lime mesa]

No

[hearty wasp]

check the files' date

[lime mesa]

Okay

[hearty wasp]

some may still be outdated but we can only ascertain when we can see a screenie of your MODS folder

[lime mesa]

Do I post screenshots here?

[hearty wasp]

if you can

[hearty wasp]

I can see 2 from 2016

both texture mods?

[lime mesa]

Yeah

Could those be it?

[hearty wasp]

no

you have multiple versions of the same mod

are you using Vortex?

or do you simply not know how options work yet

[lime mesa]

Was using vortex, tried to delete most of the duplications

[hearty wasp]

you should only have 1 gBase Items version

same with gBase Boundary

[lime mesa]

Oh, okay

[hearty wasp]

they also conflict with BBB

[lime mesa]

Oh

[green prairie]

so that's why I couldn't find this goddamn pipe, it was removed!

[hearty wasp]

it's merged with the straight pipe

[green prairie]

time to get my milf

[hearty wasp]

it only appears when you snap a pipe in right angles

[green prairie]

yea, it changes, but it needs to have another pipe on the other side

unless there is a trick

which I don't know about

[hearty wasp]

ye you cannot build them standalone in vanilla

I haven't remade its snappoints yet tho

should be easy but I'm also lazy

anyway I'm still not seeing anything that obviously breaks your game @lime mesa , you may need to just yeet all mods and then put them back in a few mods at a time

[lime mesa]

Aight

Thanks for helping 🙂

[hearty wasp]

oh actually

that no rim lighting's from 2016 too

you have a link to the mod page?

[green prairie]

speaking of building, would you know why UBB makes my extractor have the "working" animation the whole time even when it's not even powered

[hearty wasp]

it shouldn't

at least not Ultra

Unlimited I'm not knowledgeable enough

[green prairie]

Oh

gonna test without the unlimited

tbh I don't even know what unlimited do

maybe it was about the region limit of things, like refiners

Any modders who ultilises AMUMSS lua scripts and modify the same objects should name their lua script with 5 (five) tilde signs (~) at the beginning of the file name.
wait should I rename all the LUAs before merging?

the base build ones

[hearty wasp]

if you don't know what you're doing you don't need to

that line is for mod makers

tho MILF is not very intrusive compared to RecTUM and SACS

[green prairie]

yea, because I would need to merge MILF, RecTUM, UBB and gBase

[hearty wasp]

should just be a matter of running em thru AMUMSS

anyway I originally wanted to name this Foundation Uncovered Terminal re-Addition

but then MILF came up and I just couldn't resist

[green prairie]

lmao

hold the name to something else

still missing the A.S.S too

[hearty wasp]

I mean RecTUM is already a thing

[green prairie]

yea, but then that allows you to have one called T.I.T.S and so happen do be a mod perfect to use with A.S.S

[hearty wasp]

lmao

there's always the future

[green prairie]

yea, the extractor doesn't bug when not using the unlimited portion of UBB

[wet valley]

is there such a thing as clinetside modding, liek changign ui ect ect that wont make you unable to join friends that arent modded ect

[lime mesa]

What kind modding?

[vale iron]

#nms-modding message

[wet valley]

Thank you!

[wet valley]

Are there any mods people heavily reccomend?

just browse nexus mods, popular in the last 30 days is pretty good for compatibility especially after this recent of a release, and beyond that, just anything that catches your eye

[wet valley]

[plush wigeon]

argh water and duds colors are two very popularones

[lime mesa]

Folks, do you consider using a mod manager to.. well, manage mods a required or at least recommended thing?

Asking coming from modding Bethesda games (Fallout 4 on Mod Organizer 2)

[hearty wasp]

no

[lime mesa]

I did use Vortex for a while but I just had an awful experience with it

[hearty wasp]

you can use Vortex to download mods but you should extract and install manually

[lime mesa]

Dunno if NMS has the same level of complexity and interactions / conflicts between mods that would warrant using an MO

[hearty wasp]

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Mods#Installing_Mods

just follow the instructions here

[lime mesa]

So as long as I read mod descriptions and note possible conflicts (which files are affected), all I need is copy-paste?

[hearty wasp]

ye

for merging you use AMUMSS

[lime mesa]

Merging is another topic I'll have to read on, given how I found 2 mods that affect the same file

But that's for later, thanks for the help and the link

[lime mesa]

[wet valley]

so.. when running amumms to make the buildframe series lua files a pak. as it says to, even choosing it to make individual files. it makes a single one called buildframe comp is that normal?

i am not used to using programs like amumms

[hearty wasp]

you should not choose to make individual files

if you don't, there is no issue

especially anything involving BuildFrame modules

[wet valley]

alright

[hearty wasp]

where did you get the idea that you should make them individual files, if I may ask

[wet valley]

no where im just dumb and thought oo organize em by making them single files

im not very intelligent

[hearty wasp]

just keep in mind in the future that making merging them will make mods work with each other

then you all good👍

[wet valley]

ye

thank you

[wet valley]

i can not for the life of me find where i got this mod named
"sim poi c"

found it, for anyone who forgets what mod it is ever, its colourized hexagon icons

[lime mesa]

anyone has the nuclear bomb mod? i can't find it😭

[hearty wasp]

you won't

[lime mesa]

why

[hearty wasp]

because we don't make em

so you can't grief using em

[lime mesa]

🤣

you're funny

you can't use online while modding

everyone knows that, except you

[hearty wasp]

have you checked the pins

[lime mesa]

i did

it supports my claim

they can't see the mod

[hearty wasp]

- Technology changes depend greatly on the way the tech is modified. If a vanilla tech is modified with new or modified values, the effects will be synced from the modded client to the other players. It is because the damage and otherwise effect data are simply sent from the client and received on the other end.

you're still wrong after moving the goalpost

[lime mesa]

so only the damage happens

[hearty wasp]

please read more before being stupid

[lime mesa]

anyone I don't care about that

I just want to nuke planets

[hearty wasp]

cool

you can't

[lime mesa]

also people can disable PvP 🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[hearty wasp]

doesn't mean you can have it tho

if you want one you're welcome to learn to mod

[lime mesa]

no thanks

i just want people to do everything for me

for free

you can start making the mod for me today

i have 3d models for you

that's how generous i am

modify the terrain manipulator radius to 500 meters

add the nuke as a bomb in your multi tool

replace the normal bomb texture with the one I'm gonna send you

[steel crypt]

Lol get ripped

[magic lava]

@lime mesa This is your final warning, stop being toxic or out you go.

[lime mesa]

Anyone know of a mod that gets rid of the default vignete 50% setting when entering photo mode?

I hate that shit and would love to see it be set at 0 as default

[plush wigeon]

daaaaaang that would really be another huge nudge to get mysellf some dang steam keys, if there were one

not the least of which because half the time I re-enter photo mode, either it is back to vignette 50% on the same planet and no I didn't leave or save/reload, or it is still at 0 but it has saved the cloud level at the time I took the pics, as the current default, and now the cloud level is different, and so I have to reset to defaults and then turn off the bloomin' vignette again

[hearty wasp]

I remember there was a mod that sets photomode defaults but don't recall if it works anymore

actually, a quick search revealed a lua by @lunar quartz

https://github.com/MetaIdea/nms-amumss-lua-mod-script-collection/blob/main/Lenni/PhotomodeVignetteBeGone.lua

he noted that you need to enter photomode options for it to apply tho

[lunar quartz]

it's one button press compared to holding a button for 10 seconds. At some point it just goes into muscle memory

[hearty wasp]

indeed

[lunar quartz]

I also made a mod which also removes the controls banner, and also integrates that vignette removal thingy: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2148

[green prairie]

photo mode has a billion of default value options and none of them are vignette

[plush wigeon]

that mod looks lovely, making a mental note of it

[hearty wasp]

photomode is magic*

*a clusterfuck of options scattered across multiple globals and metadata files

[plush wigeon]

lovely. 🤬

[green prairie]

yea

I found most of them

but vignette there is only that one lenni changed

and it's not the default if it only works when entering the options

[hearty wasp]

I remember there being a mod that adds planetary filters as photomode filters as well

don't remember what it's called

[lime mesa]

I checked out this LUA from github, would be conflicting with Duds Sky Colors

Dunno how to make a patch for both of them

[green prairie]

you put whatever pak of dud sky color on the modscript folder together with that lua and do buildmod

it will create a patch

then you place the dud sky pak back on the mod folder together with the created patch

makes sure the patch loads after dud sky

[hearty wasp]

^

[lime mesa]

So I can put both PAK and LUA files, not just multiple LUAs to combine?

[green prairie]

if they conflict

yea

process is the same, the patch should load after dud sky

[lime mesa]

Aight, good to know, thanks

[midnight flame]

Is there any difference between Exo Predator Suppressor mod and the in game option to turn off predators?

[storm edge]

Anyone here have experience editing JSON files? Trying to make my normal save into a permadeath one and nomnom keeps crashing on me

[wet valley]

anyone else having issues with fast actions not working?

it doesnt crash or anything but ive tried fast and instant to no avail.

[round sinew]

this Version here, that's the one it has to be changed, right?

[storm edge]

Wrong sc one sec

[round sinew]

this my PD save

so, 6702

I exported the json, opened it on notepad, changed 4629 to 6677,
not even sure where you got the 6677

[storm edge]

Maybe the guide I found is outdated

[round sinew]

that would be a creative/relaxed/normal/surv game

[round sinew]

this would be a PD save

[storm edge]

I'll try 6702 than thanks

Does platform make a difference

[round sinew]

no idea how your save started on pc and got to PS4

[storm edge]

It's not

[green prairie]

last time I tried changing that

just changing the version doesn't work anymore

[storm edge]

I used the save wizard to export the ps4 save, opened the file with goatfungus, it let me edit stuff like a PC save

[green prairie]

to change from permadeath to normal and I assume is the same process from normal to permadeath you need to create a new save with your desired settings, in this case Permadeath

then you open your normal save on save editor and export your json

then now you open the permadeath save you just created on save editor and import the json you exported from the normal save

you will have all the data from your normal save, but on permadeath save

[storm edge]

Ahhh okay. I'll try that thank you @green prairie

[wet valley]

my mod list currently i should probly combine some with thir luas

[storm edge]

I got it to work, I wasn't editing the JSON files correctly and it was a little complicated by editing a PS4 save

[sick stream]

Would anyone happen to know where the players inventory is stored?

I wanted to make a program based off it

[wet valley]

is anyone else having issues with fast/instant actions?

[sick stream]

Wait, is the save file the JSON or the DDS?

[green prairie]

what you want to do

because depending you na just use save editor instead

[sick stream]

Wanted to make a program that uses data about what's currently in player, starship, and freighter inventory as well as maybe their current position

[green prairie]

ah, then you better asking on the creative hub discord, they know more about save files

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[sick stream]

Thx

[wet valley]

is therea modded log somewhere? or a way to check if any mods error out?

[hearty wasp]

No

[wet valley]

great..

[hearty wasp]

Start yeeting mods out lf your MODS folder and try em half by half

[wet valley]

so

i forgot to remove the unmerged mods

i merged instant actions and shorter arrival notifications

and forgot to remove the original pak files.

i swear i am smart

[fluid solstice]

The only thing I know about is checking mod conflicts through the AMUMSS tool. If you run it without writing any Lua scripts it will check the game for conflicts of the installed mods.

[green prairie]

just use the Check_CONFLICTS.bat

inside amumss folder

[wet valley]

ah thank you

[lime mesa]

is there a mod for automatic inventory? or something like that

[wet valley]

with this info i have foudn that everything i have hates eachother in one way or another

however it tells me exactly what to combine with what to fix that

[flat granite]

Q is it possible to get old expedition rewards Note: i joined after the leviathan and didn’t get to polestar and o want the building materials

[fluid solstice]

With mods yes. There are mods which unlock them to be bought by .

[flat granite]

Is there a way with out mods

And does goat fungus work

[hearty wasp]

yeah you can save edit em in

[versed dagger]

Does anyone know if Xbox game pass files can be modified on the PC?

[hearty wasp]

aye

they're just located in a different directory

[versed dagger]

So I can modify them? I just have to point the app in a different direction then normal?

[hearty wasp]

what app

[versed dagger]

The MBINCompiler

[hearty wasp]

you don't point the compiler to any directory to use it

you point files to the compiler to decompile the files

or you can just drag and drop the file to the compiler

are you trying to use mods or make mods?

[versed dagger]

Use mods

[hearty wasp]

then you don't use the compiler directly at all

you just need to find where the directory for NMS is and then put a MODS folder inside the PCBANKS folder and put the pak files inside that MODS folder

or if using AMUMSS it should just find it for you

possibly

[versed dagger]

Ah, ok

Can I ask what AMUMSS is? I am new to the moding portion of NMS

[hearty wasp]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/957

basically a tool that magically turn lua scripts into updated pak files

cos every game update breaks mods

[versed dagger]

Ah, ok cool

[rapid sandal]

Yes, NMSMB has built-in support to detect the Game Pass instance, if it's installed, and create and install mod paks for it.

[versed dagger]

Perfect, I will now go modify to my hearts content

[fallow meadow]

Shameless plug for the NMS Base Building App, a standalone simplified version of the Blender plugin many grew familiar with:
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2598

[green prairie]

that's something I want to know how it works, I know you place the base computer and export the base and the base will appear where the base computer is

but that's basically means if you want more than one building on your base you have to build the whole thing and export all of it at once, right?

[fallow meadow]

@green prairie Yes, what you build for that one base computer, is what will appear at that location you started with. You do not have to do it all at once. You can import/export to your save as often as you wish, making changes as you please

[green prairie]

I might use it for my low orbit base, thanks

[naive flower]

does anyone know away to get a dragon tame

I have seen people using them and was curious how

[fallow meadow]

Mods, Save Editor, or getting an egg from it to hatch as such

[naive flower]

ahh

[fallow meadow]

Here's a mod that lets you tame otherwise impossible creatures:
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1868

[naive flower]

and then using a save editor fix like flying pattern and stuff?

[fallow meadow]

I am not sure on the specific details, as I have never tried it. I think pathing changes once made a pet, and likely will have some issues

[timid burrow]

Hello, can someone please guide me to the link (video, online documentation, a discussion here) on how to transfer (export) base from one planet to another? I am planning to make it to the hub and start my base there, but I don’t want to redo everything from scratch.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

[vale iron]

You probably want to look at the Creative and Sharing Hub discord

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[timid burrow]

Thank you.

[fallow meadow]

@timid burrow After backup of your saves, make a copy of your base using the JSON editor of a Save Editor. Then place a Base Computer at the new location and save. Close the game to the menu or quit. Now copy over all base parts minus the Base Computer (BASE_FLAG) from the old base to the JSON of the new base. Save and check results in-game. Once satisfied, you can remove the previous base in-game if you wish, especially if it had been uploaded.

[timid burrow]

Oh wonderful, thank you so very much for the clear instructions @fallow meadow. I’ll do just that.

[fallow meadow]

I sort of assumed you have an understanding of the raw JSON data, as it requires copying over only the base parts. Do pay close attention to formatting. Let us know if you need additional help

[timid burrow]

Yes! JSON edits are an understood concept after changing ship colors of more than 50 ships in my current games. 😅

Are there any mods that make warping easier on my system? My girlfriend crashes sometimes on warp and my FPS always goes down. Just trying to make it a bit easier on my computer

warping is the loading screen, so you're asking for something that makes loading the game not as taxing

to make loading easier would be not loading some things

[soft drum]

I remember a mod that got rid of the pretty colors and made the warp black. Idk if it's compatible though

[olive valve]

I noticed I can't remap the Visor Mode Swap to Mouse scroll, so is there any way of doing that through file editing, or does anyone have a mod for that?

[hearty wasp]

that is basically like you are putting on drapes to cover the sound of the wood chipper outside your windows

it's not the warp causing the issues

it's the things behind the warp screen

and the thing behind is the game itself

[fallow meadow]

[fallow meadow]

You'd have to edit your TKGAMESETTINGS.MXML

[olive valve]

do just paste it in?

never did that before on the game

[hearty wasp]

yeah the whole thing

just replace it

unless you have other custom keybinds

then don't

[fallow meadow]

Yes, if you already have custom binds, just add them in

[hearty wasp]

wish NMS have ini support for shit like this tbh

[olive valve]

okay

[fallow meadow]

Support is terrible to be honest

[hearty wasp]

multiple config files would be so much easier for control schemes

[fallow meadow]

I made an edit, as it should say 'KeyboardUnbound' instead of 'KeyUnbound', twice. Works regardless, but figured I'd verify.

[olive valve]

thanks

[hearty wasp]

apparently r/NMSTG is still removing mod-centric posts, this one of Charlie Banks's Bas Building App

I have things to say that would get me warned

[plush wigeon]

there needs to be a way to let modders post about their mods, for sure

[olive valve]

I don't know, maybe their own subreddit

[magic lava]

Give them a channel on Discord!

[green prairie]

better yet, have them creating their own server

[magic lava]

That's nuts

[plush wigeon]

there is already a whole discord server for modding etc

[magic lava]

gasp

[plush wigeon]

I know, huh

Improving WarpFX mod:

[neat hedge]

i think this mod is outdated. a pity, it helped me make the USG ishimura

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2235 this was the original, if it helps

[deft pawn]

idk if this is really modding but is there a way to spawn / get an X-class Scatter blaster upgrade with reload time -30 damage +3 and Fire rate +20

[fallow meadow]

It comes with a LUA file, so I guess you could try update it using AMUMSS

[lime mesa]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2598

holy shit

[plush wigeon]

pretty much everyone's reaction about that app

[fallow meadow]

I'd recommend using a Save Editor
Only thing you need to find is an ID value for the stats you want.
Could check the NMS Creative & Sharing Discord to find some IDs

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[deft pawn]

Okayyyy Thank you very much!

[fallow meadow]

@deft pawn On the Discord linked above, there were some IDs posted recently in the 'upgrade seeds' channel

[green prairie]

@fallow meadow another question about the app, the base will be imported to the game in the location of the base computer and not the location where it was claimed right? Meaning if I move around the base computer I can change where the base will be

[fallow meadow]

It will be using the position you created the base at. So if you wish to move it, you need to remove the base and initialise it at a new spot again. (Base parts are no longer relative to the base computer)

[neat hedge]

that's the issue, i don't know how to use those programs

[green prairie]

ah, so I will need to somehow place a base computer on the sky

thanks

[neat hedge]

i'm not into coding, you know, i'm a builder

[green prairie]

I sent you an updated pak on the modding discord, but I didn't test it

[fallow meadow]

Check the NMS Modding Discord > Amumms channel. I am sure someone is willing to help you out.

[waxen cedar]

hmm, I wonder

how much hassle would it be to change the percentage displays under upgrade module tabs into bar displays that they use with resource requirements and such

What is the difference between home seed and model seed

[heavy merlin]

IIRC the home seed determines the colour and crew and the model seed determines the shape

[narrow mason]

anyone use some working jetpack mod? mine stopped after yestarday patch

[hearty wasp]

you should check Nexus and sort by last updated

the update yesterday changes the file jetpack mods use

[narrow mason]

yeah i gotta wait then and hope, i use Vortex so no updates atm

[hearty wasp]

Ah there's your problem

Vortex doesn't work well with NMS

you can use it for downloads and version tracking but otherwise you should extract the pak files and install manually

[narrow mason]

how so i use it few years and always all the mods updates worked for me , ?

[hearty wasp]

do you have any mods installed that claims to have multiple versions but only one download?

if so you have been installing all the versions at the same time

[narrow mason]

not really works good for me, i also uninstalling the old versions

[hearty wasp]

Well, if you think it works good then there's no harm in not changing things up

But if you ever have a mod just stop working after re-enabling it, you'd know what to do lol

And getting mods with multiple options, I guess

Think Gumsk's been doing it that way

[steel crypt]

I get people all the time telling me my mods aren’t working. Using words like “enabled” “disabled” etc. So I assume they are using Vortex. I tell them to install manually and never hear from them again. Some refuse and say “it’s not Vortex, it’s because your mod isn’t made right so it doesn’t work with Vortex”. Live by the sword die by the sword.

[green prairie]

that's why I disable the vortex button

[drowsy mesa]

is there any mods you highly recommend? like any QOL mods that you can't live without?

Hey Guys,
I started a game and the Ship icon is HUGE, see picture

I have a few mods installed, namely the "explore and more for 4.06 Waypoint collection" from Nexusmods but i cant see which mod would cause this.
Can anyone help me?

[green prairie]

Fast Actions.

[naive acorn]

thanks mate

[naive garnet]

i don't know if exist but there is a mod that let you know how much you have of an item and where?

[fallow meadow]

LAAT/i ?

[hearty wasp]

ye

[fallow meadow]

Nice!

[drifting sable]

So I have my exams going on and can't finish expeditions. Do yoy guys have any scripts/ files that autofinish it for me so it's saved for me? I would really like to have em. I have played in a few expeditions and really enjoy em but I don't have the time rn. I think @vale iron is the one who can help me out. But everyone Is welcome

[fallow meadow]

You'll have to start a new save, but you can save edit it to a finish > PlayerStateData > SeasonState

Alternatively, just add the season rewards

[drifting sable]

Yah but I idk what to put in those edits

I have heard about how it's done, back like an year ago but I used to finish them on my own as I had the time

[fallow meadow]

Easiest would be using a Save Editor and adding the rewards through the Account data

[flat granite]

Is there a mod to make everything scalable? I’m need it for some bases and don’t want to deal with resize glitches

[plush wigeon]

there is a mod for that, lessee if I can find it

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1096 is the one I think

[lime mesa]

Is the Duds Sky Colours mod for 4.06 compatible with 4.07? Asking cause I'm currently on Steam Deck and I have the older version there

And I don't member my password for Nexus mods to Download new version directly on the Deck

[vale iron]

If you mean Colors specifically and not the full Dud's Sky, I don't see anything that jumps out at me as having changed in 4.07. All the files modded seem safe. Not my mod and not tested, though

[lime mesa]

Yup, just the Colours package

[civic horizon]

Hey how powerful of a pc is recommended for running most mods?

[hearty wasp]

"most mods" includes a massive range of loads on your system

a speed mod has a massively different increased load than one that multiplies trees by 20

so just extrapolate how much the load would be from how much it adds

[civic horizon]

Ok

[jade jetty]

Hello, anyone can guide me through save transfer from gamepass to steam ?
I encountered a guide on reddit with nom nom but when I hit transfer nothing happens

[hearty wasp]

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[jade jetty]

Thx, nobody has the same issue in here ?

[hearty wasp]

majority of people don't feel the need to transfer

and creative sharing hub is specialized in save editing

[jade jetty]

Really ? Not that convenient, I tried on gamepass and then bought the game so I wish to transfer since I have some progression already. Thx for the reply

[hearty wasp]

most people don't buy a game for a second time lol

so it's like a subset of a subset of people

a fraction of a fraction

[jade jetty]

Yeah but I assume a bunch test the game via gamepass and buy it on steam after their test

[hearty wasp]

I mean there isn't a real need to do that when they can just keep playing on gamepass

but it's good to buy it again to support HG I suppose

[jade jetty]

Gamepass is not infinite so I would rather buy it during black friday than to pay a mensual subscription for only one game

[hearty wasp]

yeah, I guess if you're only paying for gamepass for one game

but there're a lot more games on Gamepass

[jade jetty]

Ik but I played/own mostly what I wanted to play already. A friend wanted to try no man's sky so I took the 1$ offer to try it out and then purchased the steam version

[hearty wasp]

that's p cool

[green prairie]

if I want to test a game I won't pay gamepass for it

yarr

[jade jetty]

No other way to test it for cheap really and there is some other things we can play too if needed

[harsh helm]

I've never played this. I'm looking for a game to first get really into, then to make mods for as a coding exercise. How's the modding community here? What language and what not does the game use? I just really, super want to find something new to mod

[hearty wasp]

we mod in a base language called exml which is a markup language, so no script injection. We have tools that use lua or C# to more easily modify the exml files rather than doing it manually in exml

https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/NoMansSky:The_Modding_Basics

[harsh helm]

Thanks! I just found the modding wiki in the sticky. I'll read it over then ask my questions in the coder discord. I'm not a very experienced/knowledgable coder but that's why I'm here

[mental ridge]

Any MP mods out there to make it MP ? (see eachothers storage etc)

[hearty wasp]

?

make what mp

anyway, look at the pinned message about how mods work in mp if you wanna know about that

[mental ridge]

Just looking for something that makes it fun to play with friends in NMS, the singleplayer in multiplayer format is painful, shared base/freigheters or atleast have the opertunity to use the same storage containers

[green prairie]

true multiplayer would require a server

so, no, we don't have that

NMS "server" is just a database that syncs data, some data and your inventory isn't probably even there

just the base building in case you uploaded it

[high pilot]

anyone know if there's a mod to make you start on an extreme weather planet?

[green prairie]

I think you can force every planet be extreme weather, but I dont know if it's possible to control where you start

outside HG itself like they do with expedition

[steel crypt]

It's possible to choose a starting planet biome, but the weather would have to be all or nothing.

[green prairie]

I guess you could combine both picking a biome and then increasing the extreme weather chance on that biome

[drowsy mesa]

is there a mod that makes it so upgrade npcs don't run out of stock? i'm tired of reloading every time i need to buy 3 upgrades

[lime mesa]

is gBase updated to the latest NMS version?

boutta test and see if it crashes my game

[green prairie]

ye

[lime mesa]

Any of you know of a mod that adds more character customization?

Like all those NPCs have hats n stuff Ive never seen on the appearance modifier

Yet they all look really cool!

Ping me if you answer my question, thx

[hearty wasp]

no

You can use Getting Head if you want anomaly helmets on other races tho

[stiff meteor]

Hey I don't really know where to ask this, but I'm looking for a mod that would make the underground plants actually emit light. Like they should. Is there a mod for that or is it a setting that I'm missing ?

[green prairie]

don't know where it's from, but reminded me of Choplifter 3 on SNES

god I am getting old

[hearty wasp]

this is from 40k

[verbal juniper]

is thier a mod for just allowing scaling for objects? I know thier was one back then but I cant find a version know that dosent include free build which I dont want.

[stoic glen]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1096

[mellow fractal]

Would anyone like to help a fellow modder with a couple tips for merging 2 mods? lol they both modify the anomaly tech tree which is proving a little difficult to make stable. Thanks a ton much appreciated 🙂

[green prairie]

which mod

[mellow fractal]

im trying to merge the flamethrower mod burnbabyburn with the unlockable expedition exclusive ship techs mod. so they both show up in the skill tree. but i cant quite get the copy and paste of the code to be stable yet

have looked at several resources for knowledge but still havent got it right yet, if you know of any good resources or can spare the time yourself to show me a couple things i would be very grateful

[stoic glen]

Just install the flame thrower then get rid of it maybe?

Don't need mod installed btw, just put it in your known tech, you can install it without mod installed

[green prairie]

or put both luas on the modscript folder inside amumss folder and merge both mods

they change different things inside the same file, so shouldn't be an issue

[stoic glen]

yup if you still want to merge it, put it in amumss

[mellow fractal]

yeah that was the next thing i was looking into doing, have done modding before but just now getting into modding NMS. Learning the mods and breaking them down to be customized and stuff. but thank you for the advice i will spend some more time in amumss and get use to the interface

[stoic glen]

Good luck

[mellow fractal]

🙂

[green prairie]

To merge you just put the luas inside the modscript folder and run the buildmod.bat, and follow the instructions

[mellow fractal]

okay i will try that now thank you

hey cool seems to work so far thank you 🙂 still showed 2 conflicts when it finished but gonna test it more see if anything is effected. appreciate the help

[mellow fractal]

okay how about if im trying to combine a couple more complicated mods and one doesnt have a .lua? was trying to see if i could get gships custom ship models combined with DUDs starship headlights. both modify more then just an average script line so not sure if its even possible lol

[stoic glen]

source https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1096

[mellow fractal]

thank you kindly, it wasnt working at first using one .lua and one .pak file but i think i got it now 🙂

[mellow fractal]

Yeah still couldnt get it to work correctly, but I think it has to do with both files modifying models and textures. But I was able to figure out the merging of simpler files thanks to your help. 🙂 Best wishes to you are yours and thanks for answering some questions im sure have been asked a million times by now lol

and yours*

[vale iron]

Does ship headlights not have a Lua? I'm surprised they're modifying the same files

[mellow fractal]

naww it doesnt, comes in a modpack from DUDs with like 12 other .pak files in it

[cloud swan]

Is there a way to get help unlocking all older expedition base parts rewards on the xbox in any way.....?

I really want all the base parts 😦

[mellow fractal]

yeah i believe their is a mod that adds the legacy pieces to the PC version. I still have to add it to my game lol, but not sure if a save editor would be enough to modify an xbox file to have access to it or not

thats why i always play on PC so i can mod it lol

wow!!! 😄

[steel crypt]

Started with overhauling dead biome sand rock dirt colors, which led to sky colors, which led to heavy air/dust particles, which made me remember I was going to change some frozen flora coloring. So I’m trying to “tune” things. Hopefully be ready soon.

[manic vigil]

Im that type of person who really likes the elements and stuff so are they any mods that add new ones?

[manic vigil]

Wow

[green prairie]

wdym by elements and stuff

speaking of elements, are you making tornadoes actually kill us yet, Jason?

[steel crypt]

haha yeah not yet. I haven't looked at that. I want to make it throw the player more. The damage part is easy to do. Done that already.

[green prairie]

would be funny the tornado strength be so high that you inside your base get stuck on the ceiling because of the suction force

[manic vigil]

Like the periodic table stuff and i say elements not ores or resources because this game uses elements

[manic vigil]

What about wormholes that have a chance of crusuhing you depending on the shape just like real life lol

[empty zephyr]

Question, someone knows of a mod to allow you to have more than 9 ships? (I really want to collect ships without selling or scraping the old ones)

[west ingot]

i downloaded the save editor and cant quite figure out how to customize my ship

[stoic glen]

Customize color?

[west ingot]

everything

so yes

[stoic glen]

Open json editor - PlayerStateData - then find the number of your ship that you want to edit in ShipOwnership.
Still in player state data - open CharacterCustomisationData - number 3-8 (1-6) and 17-19 (7-9) is the the folder that you want to edit (let's say in ShipOwnership you want to edit your 8th ship, the right folder in CharachterCustomisationData is number 18)

[west ingot]

what about ship 0

[stoic glen]

It's 1 then

maybe just screenshot your shipownership and charcahter customisation data

and put it here

[stoic glen]

remember that you are the only one can see this

other will see ur ship blueish

[west ingot]

i mostly play on offline anyway

[stoic glen]

ok

[vale iron]

No, the save file format won't accept more than 9 ships. The best you can do is export them so you can import them again later. The tool for that is over at the creative hub discord

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[empty zephyr]

Thanks

[timid burrow]

@stoic glen do you know of any way through save editor to remove the sails model from the ship but still keep the vesper sail module installed?

[stoic glen]

With save editor you can install vesper sails in any kind of ship. But I don't think we can remove the sail only.

[timid burrow]

I see. Alright, I’ll give editing the game files a try. Thank you though 🙂

[stoic glen]

check dm

[vale iron]

Vesper sails are just a technology that can be installed; they aren't related to the visual sails in any way. If you want a solar ship with the sails always closed, there's a mod for that. If you want to add vesper sails to a non-solar ship you can do that with the save editor like Yusa said.

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2230

@timid burrow

[timid burrow]

Thank you friend-entity Gumsk, this is what I was looking for.

[manic vigil]

does anyone know why when I install all items for trade mod through vortex and the game crashes on startup (and yes, it is updated)

[hearty wasp]

Check when it's updated again

[manic vigil]

oh wait

thats when i downloaded it

i dont think its been updated since it came out

whoops

also why doesnt the super hyperdrive mod work

it doesnt let me travel any further

nevermind

damn every mod is broken

[ornate gale]

what do you do if two mods edit a similar but not the same path?

I want to use a mod that enables planet base items in the freighter and i want to unlock decorations which i'm also using a mod for

but they both edit something in METADATA

[hearty wasp]

then there should be no issue

[ornate gale]

do you need both .lua and .pak

[rapid sandal]

amumss uses the lua to create the pak, the pak is placed in the game gamedata/pcbanks/mods/ folder. The game does not use lua files.

[cloud swan]

I need haaaalp... I'm short of some base parts design pieces I need to make this fully functional & take out my buddy's planet..

Can someone help me get those expeditions all base parts if I can give you my xbox account info for you to edit & add pretty please...

I still dont have a working pc otherwise I'd do it 😭

Clocks ticking I gotta hurry take him out before he destroys nms :((

So yeah my question comes down to if it's possible to just give you my user/pass, load my guy on your nms/pc, edit the saves adding all base parts (if could add unlimited thrusters in starships/freighter then I luv u)

But yeah adding all base parts in, then save, let me sync back to xbox lol

[round sinew]

be very careful of who you'd share you account with. even here, in the NMS community - you never know.

personally, i would not want to touch or know your login details.

[cloud swan]

Ik it's a risk lol, but I'm always asking.. what's the point ruining someone else's life, where's the benefit of ruining someone else's lol.. only reward they reap is a reminder of their actions..

Just asking for simple help & let me return favor however you want 😅

[round sinew]

i'm unable to assist you on this one - not because i wouldn't use your login details, and be respectful, but because i'm not on windows

[cloud swan]

Do you have a buddy that's trustworthy that can helpout..?

Soon as I get truck sold I promise I'll be able to helpout a lot 😅

God I'm dying to, been 10 years...

Boredom is killing me.. never worried on the theft/hacking part, ik where to look for used to long time ago & it's not worth it. So if anyone tries on me I'll make sure to give em perspective why they shouldn't 😅

is there an updated model seed repository anywhere?

[stoic glen]

what seed?

[keen zenith]

im looking for freighters

[stoic glen]

oh

[keen zenith]

https://www.nmseeds.club/ doesnt seem to be updated anymore

[stoic glen]

https://discord.gg/5gp7APp4RX

try there @keen zenith

[keen zenith]

Oh nice. Thanks!

[soft drum]

any mods that make it easier to find flora and fauna on a planet?

[fluid solstice]

Probably mods which increase spawn density? 🤔 Problem is, at least from my experience, that mods changing spawning of creatures break spawning of the rare ones (they don't spawn).

[soft drum]

shit, really? how do they break it? I fucked up my exploration guide on my home base planet (which I'm trying to max out) because discovery services was borked. When I went to another area on that planet after getting all the flora and minerals I needed, it automatically added 4 more of both flora and minerals. I just want to finish this planet I'm on lol

just for my OCD

the NMS editor as far as I know won't let me

but maybe I'm wrong bc I haven't checked everything

[fluid solstice]

The rare creatures stop spawning. I had installed Redmas overhaul generator mods and as long as I had any of its features enabled (I tried to disable creatures overhaul and biome overhaul, but it didn't help), one last rare underwater creature didn't spawn. And once I disabled the mod, it instantly spawned underwater. Same in the past when I had installed Better Planet generation (which is known to cause some other things to stop spawning) with Redmas creatures overhaul. I wasn't able to find the latest creature in caves. While when I was playing with no mods due update, I usually found all creatures, even the rare ones included.

Maybe this is the mod you are looking for. But idk if it will help, as what I got, NMS has limits for how many creatures can spawn. And the mods just increase the limits. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1826?tab=description

[soft drum]

That's a cool mod, I'll save that. I need flora and fauna though 😦

No mods for ship customization either huh?

[fluid solstice]

Look at Nexusmods for yourself. There are many mods.

For example the author of the g mods made many mods.

[hearty wasp]

You can edit your save to get whatever ship variety you want from vanilla

[hearty wasp]

Ask there

[soft drum]

not color tho?

[hearty wasp]

"any variety" includes colour

Colour is part of proc gen

[soft drum]

Oh SHIT

Okay cool, thanks!

[fluid solstice]

Ship colour, planet colour, space colour... Yep.

The game generates colours for many of its features.

[soft drum]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT

Just gotta figure out how to get this planet to max out

for the quest

[soft drum]

Any mods or tools that will allow me to edit my quest data?

[round sinew]

save editor

[soft drum]

@round sinew Not from what I've been able to do :/

[round sinew]

if you want to modify quests themselves, then you need to mod ofc

if you want to modify quest state/progress on your save file, then you'd use a save editor

[soft drum]

The NMS save editor doesn't allow me to do that though

[round sinew]

uhm - sure it does, via json editor, but you got to know what you're doing in there

[soft drum]

Oh god lol

[round sinew]

e.g. fixing broken quest progression: <#nms-modding message>

[steel crypt]

If that's happening, it's because the mods aren't doing it right. Messing with creature gen is complicated trying to understand what affects what.

[magic crown]

Hello, have you found a way to make SANDWORMMINI into a pet please?

[fluid solstice]

Maybe by the mod unlocking interaction with animals?

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1868?tab=description

In the recent update they also increased the interaction distance, so now it's easy there to also tame flying creatures.

[tight willow]

Is there a mod that can help with my fans? They go crazy whenever I play!

[magic crown]

Thanks, but I've tried it and it doesn't work.Can't feed, can only attack

[hearty wasp]

you should not hope that the sandworm in particular would be pettable since its behaviour is more static and likely does not have pet components in its files

an oversized flying snake has visual parity and is tradable as eggs so you can just buy one from someone

[fluid solstice]

Also this isn't the sandworm creature, but the titan worm one, which is supposed to be hostile to player.

And doesn't have any other features aside of being enemy, same as the biological monstrosities.

[green prairie]

except the later is also a pet

[magic crown]

I see. thx

[peak pelican]

anyone found a save editor that lets u keep changes to exocraft unlocking slots?

[hearty wasp]

wym "keep changes"

they shouldn't change after editing

unless you mean the lower slot limit

then you may need a mod for that

[peak pelican]

i change it to all slots unlocked and they dont keep the changes

but yea a mod makes more sense

tried on goat and nom, just seems like a weird hard limit to have just for exocrafts

[green prairie]

exocraft comes with all slots unlocked by default

now if you mean inventory slots, then maybe it's hardlocked because exocraft isn't supposed to increase slots like ship/exosuit, so they probably don't have that interaction

who knows

[neat coral]

so how do you open this jar file?

[hearty wasp]

you don't

[neat coral]

oh the youtube tut is able to do it it seems

I already tried the .exe

[hearty wasp]

you need to install java

also where are you download this from?

there should be bat files

[neat coral]

oh shit maybe this one's outdated

I was kinda rushing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaWp1yrJvhg

trying to follow this one

https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor I assumed github would be up to date?

[hearty wasp]

https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor

aye

[neat coral]

yeah that's the one

I'm not seeing any bat files there anyways

[hearty wasp]

you should've gotten a bat file

scroll down, download again from the "latest release" link

[hearty wasp]

scroll down

[neat coral]

LMAO

it's always somethin

the fuck it's not even letting me

let me brick my pc Defender

[hearty wasp]

turn off windows defender

turn off all your cybersecurity

[neat coral]

as far as I thought defender was not active

[stoic glen]

Click more info

[fluid solstice]

Windows defender - blocking majority of apps.

[hearty wasp]

oh btw you should put that downloaded exe into its own folder as well

cos it extracts into loose files

[fierce ibex]

yeah the newest save editor works on all builds and versions console versions included. Surprised your struggling to run it

[neat coral]

wait where does it extract to

[stoic glen]

Extract what?

Extract in a folder u want

[neat coral]

it should end up in the same folder right?

it's not

[neat coral]

I'm just a noob

[fierce ibex]

nomnoms is the most stablest i've found that works. Made it easy for me to port over my pc save to my switch and vice versa for when i want mp

[neat coral]

I'm copying the filepath from that 7zip prompt directly into the search bar

are the files hidden?

wtf is happening

[fierce ibex]

No Man's Sky - Save Editor (for FRONTIERS) is the one your trying to use, i wouldn't use it as it introduces bugs since the newer builds have a bit different things in them and when you do mod in a item or move save from console or pc to console or vice versa you'll run into issues.

[neat coral]

I'm just trying to reactivate my previous expeditions and quicksilver rewards on a new pc install

[stoic glen]

Wait you open exe file with 7zip?

[neat coral]

someone told me I should install accountdata.hg

[stoic glen]

Who?

[neat coral]

a username with a bunch of letters and numbers can't remember

blue

with the blue stripey helmet

[stoic glen]

Download .zip files here

Extract it

[neat coral]

I did

and then I did the other thing the other person said

[stoic glen]

Wich one?

What is the file after u extract it?

[neat coral]

this one

I double click the .exe, it self extracts, filepath leads to this folder, nothing ends up here

it does ask me if I want to overwrite

so clearly there should be something here

[stoic glen]

🤦‍♂

[neat coral]

what am I missing

[fierce ibex]

So many wrong steps...

Alrighty first off i wouldn

[stoic glen]

Ss the zip file

[fierce ibex]

wouldn't use that version as its outdated. It has already caused bugs. Im suggested Nexus mods nomanskymod 1566 or https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1566/ Which is nomnoms which is currently onpart with the most current build on all platforms

[neat coral]

ok I'm just gonna delete the folders and download a clean one

oh god nexus

you know what nvm

[hearty wasp]

It's.. not? Only bug I've heard is base related

[fierce ibex]

Install the .net 6.0 beta and install. Then install the .exe. Gonna look like this after extracting the .zip, i suggest to any directory path you know how to navigate too.

i dont know why i put a red dot in but oops. Anyway, install extract dont need any 3rd party extraction tools on windows 7-11 (x32 or x64) builds. After that, open the folder should look like what i posted prior

is the most current build from nexus. Anyway extract looks like the folder structure i shown. Then run the .exe , nomnom.exe depending on your version will be be determined by the application, it auto determines what your playing, microsoft store, gog, steam, switch, xbox, ps4

[neat coral]

ok first of all I wanna know

[hearty wasp]

In that case try putting it inside a folder at your C/D drive's root

[neat coral]

is this gonna bring my quicksilver/expeditions shit back

[fierce ibex]

then its pretty straight forward* from there

[hearty wasp]

Sometimes weird folder names can fuck things over

[neat coral]

that's all I wanna do lol

[stoic glen]

Yes

[hearty wasp]

Eh, since you can edit jsons on both editors it doesn't really matter wbich one you use

[stoic glen]

Or just use mods

[fierce ibex]

Well in my case, yes? I play on switch, microsoft store, gog, and steam builds of nms. And i migrate my save per platform using the tool mentioned. With out issue going from MP to nintendo switches offline build. Migrates all my status progress and builds i made*

[neat coral]

I don't wanna mod any more than I have to

[hearty wasp]

Yeah you can just use Consumerism or Season Reward Unlocker

[stoic glen]

Then just install - claim it - get rid of it

[hearty wasp]

That's per save tho

[fierce ibex]

yup, but most people dont know how to read json let alone pay attention to file structure, and order of things*. Its how i migrate my save and progress per season and keep my profile stacking from each iteration*

[neat coral]

it's a bug they should just have carried over with the save file

ppl pointed me to accountdata.hg, can I edit that file with this

[hearty wasp]

But that's not relevant to their use case?

[neat coral]

cause if not I don't need to jump thru all these hoops is what I'm saying

[stoic glen]

Yes with save editor

[neat coral]

ok thx

[hearty wasp]

They're just editing shit on PC

[neat coral]

yea it should be like one simple flag in a config right

how hard can it be

[fierce ibex]

The save editor i mentioned does all of the above, including inbuilt editor, and cross platform support, and is most current with all updated game files and indexing of them... and it has auto built in support and help for all the things including save migration and the sort. It overwhelmingly achieves the persons goal. But thats just my suggest.

[hearty wasp]

The objects are activated on a per-entry basis

So you'd need to put in each entry

[neat coral]

oofo

[hearty wasp]

Think creative hub should have the snippet tho

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[stoic glen]

No don't

I think she'll get more confused

[neat coral]

lol

[stoic glen]

She just want qs and expedition right?

[neat coral]

yeah

[fierce ibex]

They could just change it with hg editor too but i dont have the patience to explain that step by step, and draw up a picture chart of how to do it. lol That said... if you just wanna migrate your stuff change some flags in the hg file structure. But that sounds more complex for a novice than installing a file and just doing a simple version change/value edit and resaving it for the supported version of the build your playing. This includes inventory and all that with a load, and save (after selecting version/gamemode). Too each their own i guess

[hearty wasp]

^

[stoic glen]

Have u download it again? @neat coral

[neat coral]

well I'm trying supernet2's method but now nexus is asking me to install net6 but it's like a thousand links to different versions again

[hearty wasp]

Unless they have retained the old files this is not a "migration"

[fierce ibex]

What i dont understand is why instead of debating on the most functional editor, your not diverting that effort and energy into making copy and paste snipets and guide for the user who doesnt understand it at all as a visual aid is more helpful than words and straight text*

[fierce ibex]

I dont know. Lack data. If their migrating and have previous save they just open and save. If they dont they edit values in save editor of choice after install*

[neat coral]

u guys thx for helping me but there's also like 3 different ppl on the call here haha

all giving me three different ways of going about it

[hearty wasp]

There's a server that specializes in it and we just refer people over there for help in general

[fierce ibex]

ill link in a few moments with a step by step for the nomnom* what is your explict goal, are you rebuilding a ssave file, have one already, or starting from scratch?

[fierce ibex]

Oh well that sounds thousand times easier lol

[hearty wasp]

Yeah that's why I linked it

[fierce ibex]

doh

[neat coral]

well I was frustrated with playing the catch up expeditions since I missed the last 4 ones this time around, and discovered that my rewards from previous expeditions were unclaimable on new saves

so I'm trying to activate where they all carry over again

the previous expeditions I played were on a different PC and I assume there's just a file that steam didn't carry over with the new install

[hearty wasp]

Aye

[neat coral]

idk is that something the game stores locally?

or am I even barking up the right tree here

[hearty wasp]

It is

That's why you can lose em in the first place

[neat coral]

yea figured

[fierce ibex]

100% why i started using a save editor got tired of the headache that is json and text editing easier to deal with

[neat coral]

ah so if I can text edit I might just use notepad++

[fierce ibex]

and the fact i play on multiple platforms tiresome to redo everything on 5 separate places lmao

[stoic glen]

Smh

[hearty wasp]

You can, provided you can read the obfuscated field names

[neat coral]

lol

[fierce ibex]

you need a json parser to do that theres a plugin for notepad++ that makes it readable

[neat coral]

nice

[fierce ibex]

i just haven

setup this programming pc im using for it since its more for server rack programming and what not

[neat coral]

https://sourceforge.net/projects/nppjsonviewer/

this one good?

[stoic glen]

You guys

Just make her more confused

[neat coral]

we'll find a way

[stoic glen]

can you join nms stream 1?

[hearty wasp]

That's why I just tell people to head to the creative sharing hub for save editing

[stoic glen]

and screen share that?

[neat coral]

I could head to the other server but I'd have to explain again

[hearty wasp]

It's a common ask, they have pinned messages for this

[neat coral]

ah really

[hearty wasp]

That is, assuming you have a save editor installed lol

[stoic glen]

do you want to join nms stream 1?

and screen share?

i'll help

[neat coral]

I'm on browser tho

sorry im a little disoriented

I can hear you lol

trying to figure out what screen to shar

there we go

dutch lol

nice thx

I thought it was in list mode so I just didn't see the jar lol

yeah I just needed java lmaoo

ok

there we go

thx Yusa

oh shit lmao

LMAO

kept u awake till 3am

can u still see my screen

ah ok

I'm gonna play around with this thanks for helping!

[fierce ibex]

took me a few minutes... heres a guide..

1. https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6.0 download the version for your build of windows most likely 64bit, so go for this install link https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/sdk-6.0.306-windows-x64-installer most likely what you’ll be using that’s a direct download link but heres a screenshot

1a)after download is done install the file you downloaded, say yes and install once .net 6.x finishes,

1a)after download is done install the file you downloaded, say yes and install once .net 6.x finishes,

2. download the nomnom save editor https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1566?tab=files&file_id=22423 may pop something up just close it, click on the file tab as shown.

2a) When you click files its gonna look like the screenshot attached

2b) Click manual download its gonna pop up and say you need dot net 6 or whatever ignore it as you already installed it. Now select download

2c) im assuming your using edge, if not use a browser you know how to use and navigate to downloads. Im using edge for this example ms new edge

2d) In the download select the folder (this will quick open the file and where its downloaded) it will look like the screenshot attached

well minus the redacted stuff i colored out

3. open the folder where its extracted (this is already done open the .exe)

3a) you’ve right clicked nomnom.zip XYZ numbers at end if not do that I will look like this 

3b) select extract all as shown in the screenshot, a new window will open up select next, after you decide where your extracting it too (it will put it into its own folder unless you change the extraction file folder name

[stoic glen]

I fixed it @fierce ibex

[fierce ibex]

navigate to where you've extracted it. Run the .exe nomnom.exe

[stoic glen]

Download java - open it - done

[fierce ibex]

awesome*

[neat coral]

lol well I was getting around to it!

but I got my expedition rewards back

this editor doesn't seem to edit quicksilver items though?

[hearty wasp]

they are 2 sets of different things

quicksilver items are just products

[neat coral]

hmmm weird I'm still not getting the expedition 1 items in the new save even tho they got checkmarks in the account tab

[cloud swan]

Damn.. just saw this 😭

Was told to come here for mod save/edit help, so got nowh3re to go now lol

[hearty wasp]

help as in "help to do it yourself", not "doing it for you"

[cloud swan]

Lmao don't got pc 😅 working on it otherwise I would easily myself 😅

[hearty wasp]

can't have someone just join your game and build?

placement too complicated?

[cloud swan]

Hmm?

Unlocking base build parts?

[hearty wasp]

you can have someone just join you in game

no

joining your game

and building in your base

[cloud swan]

Yeah.. that's what I need, not gonna try to lecture someone how to put it in for every base I work on 😅 figured easier just to u lnlock & be done with, ridiculous its a legacy item 🙄

Already asked if I could have someone build it in where I could dupe it & add but that way doesn't work either unfortunately

[hearty wasp]

if the "legacy" is one of the Infrastructure parts save editing wouldn't do shit anyway

so you're still better off just finding someone to build with you

[cloud swan]

Thought someone said you can get these parts unlocked..? I'm just waiting on damn truck to sell.. 🙄 too many people don't really know mechanics & bolts over 1 little thing thinking whole thing will break..

I really hope it is unlockable on expedition base parts..

Nobody likes hard challenges 😦 I can never find anyone wanting to lol
