Sec ima look into how to actually save edit..

[hearty wasp]

most of em, yes

I am referring to specifically Infrastructure parts

if you don't know what they are, then chances are you entered the game too late to need to care

still, the best option atm would be to just have another person to build for you

[cloud swan]

Omfg it's that easy to add em 🤯 I was thinking of the old style where you gotta search the specific code & swap em out (like halo 3) this is much easier & quick.. wonder8ng if I can put onto android tablet somehow..

I just joined because I feel stupid with the but here we go

I'm trying to transfer XboxGamepass to Steam

There's a few guides online that I've seen, but most of them are confusing, either i dont know how much to delete/replace/rename, or it just goes over my head

Can anyone help me, even just a little, with transferring my save?

I already have NomNom (newest vers. + older vers.) and NMSSE

(sorry if this has been asked a bunch before, but its just going super far over my head)

[green prairie]

@frozen flint try the creative hub discord instead, they have more knowledge on anything related to save

[fallow meadow]

Once you have added those rewards to your account, you will still have to redeem them in-game on the Anomaly at the QS shop

[neat coral]

Yeah I’m trying to do that

Expeditions 2, 3 and 4 are showing up now

But expedition 1 is still not

And idk how to get the quicksilver items either

[fallow meadow]

Interesting how Expedition 1 is failing. When it comes to QS items, I usually just give myself a load of QS and go on a shopping spree, instead of adding all the items themselves

What save editor are you using?

[neat coral]

Hmmm that’s an idea

I’m using the goatfungus one

[fallow meadow]

Ok. And you have added the rewards from Exp 1 through the AccountData tab?

[neat coral]

Yup

I might check with a new save, haven’t done that yet, could be the old new one is screwy

[fallow meadow]

If I recall correctly, it could be the reward is already marked as 'redeemed', which then results in not being able to get again. Requires checking the raw JSON data

[neat coral]

It’s still marked red in the quicksilver shop idk if that’s what u mean

[fallow meadow]

Let me see. I can tell you where to look in raw JSON data.

If you open the save editor with the save, then the JSON editor (for the save, not the account data)

You have to look for PlayerStateData > RedeemedSeasonRewards, then check if the ID for what you are trying to get is listed on the right side. If so, it can be deleted, which makes the reward claimable again on the save.

Do make sure to keep formatting correct. Each entry in that list will end with a comma, apart from the last listed one

[stoic glen]

how?

screenshot of ur save editor and qs merchant pls

[neat coral]

Not at the computer atm I’ll let you know when I’m back

[stoic glen]

okay just tag me or if i'm still in vc you can just join

[plucky basalt]

hello I need to edit my graphic setting from 200% to 75% or my game won't launch which one do I have to edit

[hearty wasp]

200% to 75%... what

are you playing on a laptop?

and do you have a graphics card in your device

do you mean your resolution scale?

which has the name, "ResolutionScale" in the settings file?

[round sinew]

1.000000 is the default - 100%

why not just lower game resolution though?

[plucky basalt]

bc I accidentaly put it at 200% and my game crahed

and didn't wanted to restart

[hearty wasp]

fyi, you can also just delete the entire settings file

everything goes back to default after you run the game again

[round sinew]

keep in mind that TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.MXML is regenerated on game launch if not found; so if you ever mess something up bad, yeah, like Winder said above

[hearty wasp]

yeah but also elaborating on the specific setting you're trying to change will help us from having to guess what you're actually trying to change if you have to ask people about it

anyway, deleting the file would be the method with lowest risk

[round sinew]

though if editing the file, it would probably be recommended to use a "proper" text editor too, such as notepad++

(i remember some notepad.exe quirks, didn't properly save files without messing up the encoding or something like that, don't know if that's still a thing on windows)

[plucky basalt]

ty nice to know I fixed it

[nocturne prawn]

Any mods for light sources to provide actual light?

[lean wren]

For some reason when i installed AMUMSS i didnt get the ModScripts folder, could someone help?

[hearty wasp]

run BUILDMOD

[lean wren]

nothing happens when i run it

[hearty wasp]

you have any sort of antivirus?

[lean wren]

yeah but its off for this reason

[hearty wasp]

just in case you may want to check windows defender as well

[lean wren]

might also be that i dont have .Net 5

[hearty wasp]

could be, but it shouldn't stop AMUMSS from downloading itself

[lean wren]

i have windows defender off and my anti virus

off

[hearty wasp]

do you have Test_AMUMSS_install.bat in your AMUMSS folder?

[lean wren]

yes

[hearty wasp]

run it

[lean wren]

everything is ok except the .net 5

which im installing right now

[hearty wasp]

if the issue persists join the modding discord and forward the info we've discussed to the amumss channel

Question- Does NMS allow you to mod and still play online? For example I'd like a mod similar to the covenant glassing beam, and even if other people can't see the the beam or do it themselve's, they can see the results on the ground?

[green prairie]

I don't even know if the game syncs terrain outside base upload, but yes, mods works in multiplayer

[drowsy mesa]

Is there any instant visor scan mods that are updated to this version?

[green prairie]

search scan on nexus and sort by last updated

[river totem]

are there any mods that will get you banned?

[hearty wasp]

there's a pin on this channel for that as well

[drowsy mesa]

you can't get banned from nms atm I think

they allow you to use mods labeled as "Cheats" on nexus soo...

[river totem]

So basically i can just go ham and get whatever I want

[drowsy mesa]

yes

[river totem]

ayyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Thats amazing

[drowsy mesa]

the one real "rule" which isn't really a rule is to not use like a save editor or higher rare ship chances and go "oh my gersh guys look at dis amazing pog thing I just found!1!!!"

like if you use cheats to get rare stuff don't brag about it, just a dumb thing to do

[green prairie]

you can get banned, but you need to try really hard

like the person griefing the hub system

and being racist

[hearty wasp]

you can swear to destroy the Gek tho

like for fun

a lot of people are OK with that for some reason

[green prairie]

fictional racism is kinda whatever

Warhammer exists, so it's fine

[drowsy mesa]

i don't get how an update could change literally nothing related to a mod, but the mod would still break and just not work, I remember an update happened that didn't effect the scanning times and then the mod I had for instant scans just broke

[hearty wasp]

Do you want to understand?

[drowsy mesa]

n-no.... probably might just still mald

[drowsy mesa]

I installed one of the latest instant scan updated mods (the latest instant visor was from Nov 13th) and that one didn't work, I'll try a different one rn

so yeah it turns out most instant scanner mods don't work with mods that also modify "GCGAMEPLAYGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN" but i have like 21 mods and don't know which ones do that

[green prairie]

that's why you use AMUMSS to check conflict

[drowsy mesa]

is there any video explaining how to get it working, cause I extracted everything it told me to and when i open BUILDMOD.bat it just stays on this without anything happening

or idk really how to use amumss

[green prairie]

any antivirus?

[drowsy mesa]

i do but it's turned off like it told me to

[green prairie]

then I would suggest going to the modding discord on amumss channel for more support, because I have no idea, here it just works lmao

Anyone else having the issue where Remove Lag When Leaving Planets mod doesn't appear to be working with 4.07

Despite the download page saying it was updated for the new version of the game?

[green prairie]

wdym by not working

[lime mesa]

Experiecing freezes when leaving planet's atmosphere

It worked for me in the 4.06 version of the game

[green prairie]

did you update?

the mod

because 4.07 broke it

[lime mesa]

Yes I downloaded the version marked as 4.07

[green prairie]

hm, mine works fine, or at least was when I last left a planet, but I made it myself using a script from lMonk instead of downloading there

[native rose]

Any non-cosmetic mods you can recommend me to get my feet wet?

[hearty wasp]

you can piss at your feet to make em wet with Sam Porter's Pro Pisser

unless you mean that in a figurative sense

[green prairie]

lmao

[burnt quartz]

Is possible to play with friend with mods?

[green prairie]

yes

[fossil violet]

It works fine for me, but for some reason I still get the lag; the current lag is what I used to get without the mod installed, but the lag without the mod now is much worse (the spike is massive)

[green prairie]

sometimes you get a stutter when leaving the planet, but it's like half a second

because it also depends what other mods you have installed

that changes things on space

[fossil violet]

all I have that affects space is Dark Space with Nebulae, HD Clouds 4k, and two ship seat mods if that counts

[green prairie]

have you tried without the dark space with nebulae?

[fossil violet]

I'll try it

[green prairie]

clouds I don't think would affect anything, don't even know if they load when you're close to the planet

[fossil violet]

I do notice that I get lower FPS in space with that mod installed, do you know of any less intensive mods that make space darker to test out if I determine it is the problem

[green prairie]

there is another one that isn't updated, but it has a lua, if the file it uses wasn't completely changed you can make an updated version with AMUMSS

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1471?tab=posts

well

according with that person it works even without update

[fossil violet]

well it seems the stutter is still there without Black Space With Nebulae

[green prairie]

no mod changing asteroids? I used one before that would lag the shit out of my game because of the amount of asteroids it created

[fossil violet]

I don't really have any mod that changes asteroids

[green prairie]

then I guess the only sure way to figure out is by temporary removing every mod from the folder and loading only the "no lag when leaving planet", use a creative save or something just to test so you don't risk something happen on your main save

if the problem still persist then it's the mod

[fossil violet]

It could also be the planet; my save left off on Distira which has a history of a noticeable lag spike regardless of the mod while other planets will be completely cured. I also don’t use any mods on that save which add items/vehicles/generation that don’t exist in the vanilla game; all the mods I use are either graphics or QoL which shouldn’t mess with my save data iirc

[vale iron]

Definitely try a different system that doesn't have any multiplayer bases or settlements

[green prairie]

ah, you're on the hub system?

[fossil violet]

Yup

[green prairie]

that system is lag as fuck

because of all the bases on the system

the game almost dies just to load it when you teleport using a space station teleporter

[fossil violet]

I do have a 3700x and 3070, I’m still able to get above 30fps in Joan’s recreation of Guildford which is one of the biggest lag machines of the entire hub :P

30fps is still too laggy for me tho; ever since I tried out 144Hz I find that anything below 60fps is hard on my eyes, in nms I’ll try to get at least 75-80fps if possible

[green prairie]

yea, some planets can be laggy and even worse when there are bases and settlements

if it works fine on a different system then it's just the hub system that is laggy

I had my game stutter before on specific systems and never knew why

it would fix itself sometime later

[whole flicker]

I downloaded the companion pet unlocker mod because I found this super cute turtle and couldnt tame it in game, but I still cant tame it :(

Does anybody know if its a limitation of the mod, or maybe I just installed it wrong?

I'm on steam deck, and put a .lua file and .pak file in PCBANKS/MODS

and deleted a deletemods.txt file in PCBANKS folder

[whole flicker]

I get the screen telling me I'm running a version of the game with mods now, and the modpage says it allows you to tame mole creatures (which is what the turtle is classified as)

[runic kayak]

Is it possible for me to replace the system lady with the elite dangerous voices

[main imp]

Frame shift drive charging

[vale iron]

Definitely possible, but you'd need to create all the sound files and learn how to replace them in NMS. People have done other voice packs. Personally, I use one that silences the voices

[green prairie]

yea, people swapped voices from empty sound files to mute it

you can do the same, just with the ED files

[rain cradle]

if you’re about to ping me

[thin rampart]

@rain cradle How does that script work? Is it difficult?

@thin rampart ping me in ~1 hr and I’ll give some instructions

heading home from finals! 🙂

absolutely aced them, let’s goooo

[hidden hinge]

Is there a mod that makes the game not be so stubborn in deciding how base parts can't snap?

[green prairie]

yesn't

if you mean parts snapping in general, no, but some mods can make some parts that didn't snap before, snap

but they don't snap anywhere

[hidden hinge]

I probably need to just flat out disable my mods for a bit then. Have a build with parts that snapped perfectly before but I deleted some bits and now it's not letting me reconstruct it

[lime mesa]

Wait did redmas update like all of his mods?

Cause I’m looking through it right now and there’s like 3 different versions of NMS Fantasy and a bunch of older versions that for updated a day or two ago

https://www.nexusmods.com/users/44146502?tab=user+files

Oh wait he’s here

@silent pivot sorry for the ping, but I’m curious as to what all the different versions of NMS Fantasy are? Cause there are like 3 different ones and two for older versions that all got updated recently so I’m curious

[hidden hinge]

It's UltraBaseBuilder that adds the smaller rotation increments, right? I think I need to purge it. I've never had to use the feature except in one build that didn't work out anyways and it's just adding so many permutations to snapping that it refuses to just do the easy thing

"I see you're trying to snap this arch into the one place it's meant to fit. Would you maybe like to hinge it out by ten degrees?" No. "How about ten degrees inside? No. "Maybe attach it to the roof then?" Yes! "...And make it lift up twenty-two degrees from there!" God dammit no!

[hidden hinge]

Okay I have no idea which mod is actually adding the rotational options.

[silent pivot]

i am currently doing specific trailers for each, so you can see the difference. they are all from the same engine i created for Redmas game overhaul generator, which can create different overhaul depending on the setting. I had fun recreating my previous overhauls with that engine, but you can create your very own

redmas game overhaul generator, is a script that with AMUMsss, can generate any of the mods i ve done since 2017 and u can also combine them and param them as you wish

thee planet generation is also very customisable

i did several layers of generation, and you can play around to switch on layer or another on / off

all terrains shapes are customisable and came with 3 different type of voxels generation ( normal, light or epic changes )

also based on my previous work

so basicaly, all my mods on nexus are updated , and now cross updates

need to release other ones still :

• space overhaul
• new game bonus
• start as ( skins sets )
• spaceships generation
• massive fleet
• sankukai space combat
• onfoot combat overhaul

• challenge mode

but they are all already doable with the script

i just lack of time to publiish them on nexus

that was crazy work, if u wonder, and no one are playing them, at least i managed to did what i wanted to do

the lua script is 50 000 lines

[silent pivot]

it auto generate biomes and new models

which is the cool part

[magic lava]

It's insane, and I love it

[heavy oar]

@silent pivot ❤️ 🤗

umm i dont know how to install shaders i think im dumb

[normal hearth]

Wish if they really add that stuff to the game like planetary atmosphere landing, better good looking ship HUD and ship AI sounds cause that would make the game more interesting

[lime mesa]

Damn that’s an insane amount of work!! I for one am going to have a great time with these mods for sure :)

[main imp]

In elite or nms?

[magic lava]

Better be nms

[normal hearth]

ED already have those so yeah it's NMS

[main imp]

Idk alot of people complain about atmospheric landing

[lime mesa]

The real question would be what would happen if I put all of them together….
Or at least found some way to alternate the generation, would that be possible? A way to mix biome generation mods by alternating the way each planet generates from vanilla or modded and the like?

Like a generation mod that would combine others and just randomly choose which mod’s generation to use for each planet

[muted hollow]

guys is there a mod that speeds up the growing process of plants?

[vivid tapir]

How do I download save editor and can my current save be shared to my PC (same account)?

[hearty wasp]

there are links to their respective pages in the pinned messages and we have no information on which platform your "current save" is

but it is possible with modification iirc

in cases where you can extract the save, that is

[vivid tapir]

So if I were to download NMS on PC through gamepass would my save from xbox be on there?

[hearty wasp]

ye

you can join the creative hub discord if you wish to wait shorter for assistance

I'm going from xbox NMS to PC NMS but the xbox app one not steam version. Will I have the save on my PC so I can use save editor?

[hearty wasp]

if you're playing on gamepass then you do not need it for conversion

you can still use it for just editing your save

[hollow bramble]

are there any mods dealing with living ships and frigates?

[timid burrow]

Modder-entities I request help if someone is available to answer a question…

When trying to install mods do we only need to delete the said file from PCBANKS, or are there any other steps involved for setting up the correct file paths etc?

[hearty wasp]

you need to elaborate which aspects of em

[hearty wasp]

you'll need to make a folder in PCBANKS called MODS, read the instructions here if you feel unsure https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Mods#Installing_Mods

it'll work if you follow it to the letter

[timid burrow]

Okay, thank you.

[hollow bramble]

Like retextures

[timid burrow]

Oh I have done this step already, my issue with modding the game is with the fact that every mod I have installed until now has broken the game in some odd way. Sometimes my freighter would change from a Venetor to a Sentinel, sometimes the freighter would be missing the middle section… once the ships were all black for some reason…

[midnight helm]

@lime mesa

[lime mesa]

hello

just checked the thing

[timid burrow]

This is making me a little concerned about modding the game.

[lime mesa]

my shield is at over 1.4b ...

what's normal thing for it?

[midnight helm]

make it 100

[lime mesa]

ok

[midnight helm]

Are you using legit version of the game?

thinks

[lime mesa]

yes xbox

gamepass

[night adder]

@lime mesa What type of ship? Only Haulers can roll 125 naturally, Exotics cap at 90, Solars at 50, Fighters at 40

[lime mesa]

I got the one that it gives at start of game

[night adder]

@lime mesa Fighter, max rolls are 90 Dmg, sry 38 Shield, 0 Range, 45 Agility

[timid burrow]

@hearty wasp possible I f you could help me with this…

[midnight helm]

They used WeMod which applied shield on the player, rather than ship

[hearty wasp]

I don't recall there being one but you can try searching terms like "living" on Nexus

[midnight helm]

You may want to report this bug to NomNom developer.

[lime mesa]

is wemod allowed? if not I can just del it i dont really know the reason I got it in the first place

[hearty wasp]

sounds like a game bug

[hearty wasp]

everything is allowed

[lime mesa]

oh

[hearty wasp]

do whateverthefuck you want

[lime mesa]

oh ok

[timid burrow]

Hmm! Alright, I’ll look into the game files, thanks again friend-entity 🙂

[lime mesa]

because like some games hate it when you use mods and stuff in their games

[hearty wasp]

you may wanna just warp a system or two and summon your freighter again

[lime mesa]

I see why but ya

[midnight helm]

Click on the Discord logo, it should lead you to NomNom's Discord server. Then report this issue to the dev.

[timid burrow]

Alright, will try this too.

[lime mesa]

ok

[timid burrow]

NMS is free from all of that. Mod, change game files, do whatever you want to 🙂

[lime mesa]

oh that's nice

[midnight helm]

By the way, ending it with, never use Unlimited Health cheat, it will break multiplayer for you.

[lime mesa]

ok

[midnight helm]

Could be that you are using outdated version of mod?

Also depends on which mod are you using.

[timid burrow]

Hmm! I think it might be either outdated version of the mods, or dirty edits, or wrong packs.

I’ll try some more and see how things go.

[lime mesa]

I think I used the f1 - f8 key one

[timid burrow]

If nothing works, f it. Will make my own edits

[lime mesa]

wait so what are stats of ships my is broken

it has like .74563573485

and stuff

[midnight helm]

these are the max you can have

should depend on your ship

[lime mesa]

for damage on my starter it showes 0

wait nvm

it showes 15

[hearty wasp]

what mod exactly are you using

[timid burrow]

I have uninstalled them, but one of them that did cause the issue was the one that added scanner to freighter bridge

I’ll install other mods to check if this things is persistent or not.

[night adder]

@lime mesa 90/38/0/45 are the SClass max rolls, at C the maxes are 15dmg, 15agi, 0 range + shield

[lime mesa]

ok

[lethal cape]

for mods I just have to put them inside the folderr mods after removing the disablemods.txt right?

[lethal cape]

I have my mods in the MODs fodler but I dont get any notice regarding that my game its modded, did I messed up somewherre? :S

nvm 🤦‍♂️

[lime mesa]

hay feral how do I unlock all like building stuff using nomnom is its possible

[night fjord]

Can I get some help modding on Xbox?

[steel crypt]

You can’t use mods on Xbox

[rapid sandal]

If you have the Xbox Game Pass you can install on PC as well, you can use mods on that version (on the PC).

[night fjord]

I don’t own a pc but I have gamepass

[hearty wasp]

then you cannot mod

mods only exists on PC

the physical platform is the limit

[earnest frost]

what is the full name of a sentinel map?

[green prairie]

in the files? or actual name

Sentinel Boundary Map

the ID is CHART_HIVE

[versed rose]

Is this where I should ask questions about the modding community in general?

What if I'm an idea person who loves to write ideas for things, but is pretty incompetent at computer stuff? Do I pair up with someone when that happens or?

On Stardew Valley's community they have a place where modders can go (a GitHub forum thing I think) if they need inspiration.

[unreal jetty]

Trying to download the newest version of consumerism but the game isn't loading it

I deleted the NOMODS.txt file and all that

any help?

[hearty wasp]

is the pak in the MODS folder under GAMEDATA or PCBANKS

[unreal jetty]

GAMEDATA

💀

got the man himself replying

[hearty wasp]

make a new MODS folder under PCBANKS

install your mods there

[unreal jetty]

aight, thanks

would be better if they add "in the same folder" or something here

🫡

[hearty wasp]

once you do this step everything occurs in that directory

[unreal jetty]

I understand now, thank you. It would still be a nice addition for clarity though, imo.

[blissful wagon]

anyone know of a mod (if its not already in game) that adds a terrain manipulator to the starship? for mining surface ore

[vale iron]

I don't know of a mod that does it, but I believe I remember it being possible. Let me check

I can't find it quickly right now and am in the middle of something. I'll look again later and ask around, though

[blissful wagon]

aw dang, i couldnt find much either

[vale iron]

@blissful wagon Try this with the photon cannon. I dont have time to test it right now

[blissful wagon]

oh dang thx, ill test it on a diff save

[vale iron]

That might not be right; I found two other things that might enable it, though

I think that will destroy terrain, but not sure if it will get you resources. Lasers are split out differently and have a CanMine property that isn't present on the shipgun

[vale iron]

Here's one to make the phase beam CanMine = True

[unreal jetty]

Is there a mod that allows selling items directly from freighter storage containers?

[hearty wasp]

Can't

[timid burrow]

Friend-entity bk, what's the performance hit like with GraphicFX (dud's sky) installed.?

[round sinew]

@fossil violet so, given what you said over in general chat, i would try this set of mods from dud's sky colors (i striked out the ones you wouldn't put in, if you follow my suggestion here). also, view readme.txt included in the zip

[round sinew]

i didn't feel any

[timid burrow]

okay.

Also (for another mod), .lua goes into the same folder as .pak, or we don't need to paste .lua? friend-entity @round sinew

[round sinew]

just the pak; the lua is provided for other users to be able to compile the mod themselves (using AMUMSS, to be specific)

[lime mesa]

Just PAK is enough, thats what being loaded into the game

Also can confirm, Duds Sky Colours has no impact on performance here

[timid burrow]

Gotcha, thank you friend-entities. Appreciate the help 🙏

[round sinew]

anytime

[lime mesa]

Using most of the pack on my Steam Deck and performance is the same

[timid burrow]

Perfect. I’m gonna test the changes the mod has made. Thanks once again. 😄

[fossil violet]

ok thx

[fossil violet]

I like the combination, except there's one issue I cannot figure out the source mod for: the night sky gets interrupted by a horizon line which is way too bright

[round sinew]

post a screenshot please?

[fossil violet]

You have it too here #no-mans-sky message

[round sinew]

the purple? that's a fog layer i think, but @steel crypt would be able to answer that more easily (and accurately!) ofc.

[fossil violet]

Here's what it looks like for me

Btw I just noticed the day sky on Distira is yellow when it should be more blue in vanilla

[round sinew]

well,

if you're using Skies

sorry about that

i did miss it

though i did recommend you to go through readme.txt, precisely because of this - there was a chance i was adding something in that you wouldn't want

and you will also want to take out sunsetsunrise

nightskycolors

and that's it i think

[fossil violet]

thx

[round sinew]

check if you like Heatwave or not, find some scorched biomes

🙂

have fun

[fossil violet]

Is it normal to only see the heatwaves when a volcano erupts, maybe during a storm

[round sinew]

heatwave can have different strengths

depending on the planet, if there's a storm etc

not because of a volcano alone

[fossil violet]

oh :P

[round sinew]

_MOD_DUD_HeatwaveFX_v4061
Replaces smoke/dust effect on some "Scorched" weather planets with custom heatwave effect.
Heatwave effect is volumetric light refraction. (The same way real heat refracts light.)
Scorched and Lava planets can have either "Heatwave" weather or vanilla NMS "Firestorm" weather.
Normal heatwave weather will be noticeable yet mild.
Extreme weather planets will have intense heatwave.
Heatwave storms will look like you're in an oven.
Heatwave effect fades out between 0-60u speed. (Making flying not a visual nightmare.)

[hallow dagger]

Would one experienced bk201 know anythimg abt skyrim moddimg and if so which would they say is more complicated skyrim or nms?

[vale iron]

I don't know much about Skyrim modding, but from what I do know, they are very different. Currently you can accomplish a lot more with Skyrim modding. NMS modding is pretty easy, though, once you get the few tools setup.

[hallow dagger]

Ok thanks, was just wondering as ive made a 500+ mods modlist for skyrim and was wondering how modding nms mihht stack up

[vale iron]

Do you mean making mods or using mods?

[vale iron]

I was talking about making mods before. If you mean using mods, it's extremely easy to do, but with large numbers of mods you would quickly get conflict issues with different mods trying to modify the same files. To resolve those conflicts, you would normally have to install one of the mod-making tools (AMUMSS or NMSMB) and use provided scripts to merge the conflicting mods. So at that point it gets less easy to learn. Once you figure it out, though, it's not bad.

[lime mesa]

Not quite Skyrim but I got some experience with Fallout 4 modding

And comparing to that, NMS is much more easier but also much more limited, at least from a casual mod consumer point of view

Having a dedicated tool to solve mod conflicts is also nice

[green prairie]

from a modder point of view too

alot of things are impossible since all we can do is use EXML

[hallow dagger]

Ok ty guys

[fickle palm]

how can you get the old expedition rewards? i was told to ask here

(1-4)

[magic lava]

Save editor or mods

[fickle palm]

yeah i know

how do i do thoes?

[magic lava]

The mod you would get would just have you purchase them from the QS store- Consumerism is what it's called

The save editors have tabs and a gui, they are pretty straightforward to figure out

[fickle palm]

oh i toght i would have to manualy edit the code in the save lol

[magic lava]

Nah

You could but no need

[fickle palm]

alr well i dont really need help then

thanks

[magic lava]

Lol np

[west bridge]

is this correct?

[hearty wasp]

aye

[twilit ether]

has anyone made a SHIP map mod yet to fix the FSR blockyness / blurryness like this?

[hearty wasp]

Sounds mpre like a job for HG/AMD

[twilit ether]

nvm found one, and turns out its a defautl filter now applied on the game's map hud, which simply gets amplied terribly with FSR.

and while playing in VR, FSR helps quite a bit, and that map hud looks awful in vr up close in 3d

[hearty wasp]

neat

[west bridge]

Is there a save editor for NMS? I wanna test it out

[worthy saffron]

yes

[west bridge]

where

[worthy saffron]

check the pins, itll give you a link

[west bridge]

oh the goat one..

I tried that one

I looked confusing

[worthy saffron]

try nom nom, its fairly simple

[west bridge]

Nom Nom?

Is it in nexus mods

[worthy saffron]

might be? the link to it is in the pins

[west bridge]

this is on of the screenshots does it look like this

[worthy saffron]

its a bit different, its more simple imo

[west bridge]

I used it anyway

pretty simple to use

and it worked good

apart from I can craft weird stuff

[civic horizon]

Hi I’m new to nms moding What are some cool mods to play with?

[austere crystal]

the mod that add sean's head HEHEHHEH.

[vale iron]

Best thing to do is go to nexusmods and sort by Last Updated. You can do most popular, but about half of the top hits are out of date and won't work anymore. You need to look at the updated dates

If you have more specific questions, I can help with that

[civic horizon]

Ok

[civic horizon]

In the download options there’s “vortex” and ”manual ”

Which one do i download

[vale iron]

Most of us recommend using manual installation for NMS

It's extremely easy and vortex can mess up sometimes

[civic horizon]

Ok

I downloaded lasagna environments how do use it

[vale iron]

Go to your game files directory. Go to Gamedata\PCBANKS

Delete disablemods.txt

[civic horizon]

my wha

wheres that

ah geez

[vale iron]

Are you on steam?

[civic horizon]

no

[vale iron]

GoG or MS?

[civic horizon]

what

[vale iron]

What platform are you playing on

[civic horizon]

i got the game for xbox but im on pc

[vale iron]

So Microsoft, hold on and I'll find the files location

[civic horizon]

ok

[vale iron]

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

[civic horizon]

i assume the popcorn emoji means that this wont be easy...

[steel crypt]

no, just an old man's bad humor

[vale iron]

It was funny to me

[civic horizon]

[vale iron]

Follow those screenshots until you get to the PCBANKS folder

[civic horizon]

ok

?

[vale iron]

You're there?

[civic horizon]

yeah

[vale iron]

Ok, delete DISABLEMODS.TXT

[civic horizon]

wait

wheres the screenshots?

you said follow the screenshots

but no screenshots to follow

[vale iron]

The link I sent has screenshots that will get you to PCBANKS

[civic horizon]

where?

[vale iron]

Just...there

[civic horizon]

OH

[vale iron]

It's a reddit post. It has a paragraph then several screenshots

[civic horizon]

i feel dumb

i see them

[vale iron]

ok

I have to go unfortunately, but follow these instructions when you get to PCBANKS:

1. Delete DISABLEMODS.txt
2. Make a new folder named MODS inside PCBANKS
3. Open the zip file you downloaded for lasagna.
4. Put the .pak files from inside the .zip file into the MODS folder you made.
5. Launch NMS. You should get a warning about mods.
   Done

[civic horizon]

ok

only the .pak files or all of them?

theres text documemnts here to

to i unclude them?

anyone else happen to be here who can help?

[steel crypt]

.pak

[civic horizon]

only the .pak theres some randomly placed text documents just ignore them?

@#@& I JUST DELETED THE WHOLE FOLDER

[steel crypt]

what folder? pcbanks?

[civic horizon]

I don’t even know ima go to bed for now il try tomorrow

[vale iron]

That turned out well

[wheat raven]

no save editor that can turn a tech slot to supercharged one yet?

[vale iron]

I think NomNom does it in the GUI

[worthy saffron]

yes nom nom does

[west bridge]

Is it weird I can craft weird stuff like broken stuff,

NomNom broke my save

help

NomNom broke my save

Ping me when replied

[hearty wasp]

it didn't

[west bridge]

First of

how can I craft the screenshots listed above

Second of, You cant even craft them?

Or is it possible

[hearty wasp]

if they don't have recipes you can't craft them

if they do, you can

[west bridge]

Ah screw it

ill make a new one

[hearty wasp]

those are just unimplemented shit

[west bridge]

without clicking unlock all

[hearty wasp]

there are a lotta unimplemented shit in the product table

[west bridge]

How do I get rid of em

Or is that no possible

[hearty wasp]

you can't just delete it in NomNom with the delete key?

like I genuinely do not know

[west bridge]

I would use goat fungus but it looks confusing

[hearty wasp]

confusing how

[west bridge]

idk

[hearty wasp]

so it's irrational fear

[west bridge]

so is it the same as nomnom install

[hearty wasp]

no better way to solve than just using it then

you'll need Java

[west bridge]

dunno how to get that

[hearty wasp]

go on google

and just search Java

it's made by a corporation called Oracle

OG minecraft bois know

[west bridge]

Ok downloading

alr done

now what

[hearty wasp]

have you tried just pressing the delete key while having the product selected in NomNom tho

or right clicking it

[west bridge]

chouldnt find it

its fine

im downloading goat fungus rn

[hearty wasp]

I mean the one on your keyboard

[west bridge]

Chouldnt find it in the product list

[hearty wasp]

weird

unless just blind

[west bridge]

ok I downloaded it both

[hearty wasp]

both as in what

[west bridge]

Java and goat fungus

[hearty wasp]

install java first

[west bridge]

Is this the exe

[hearty wasp]

hm you already have java installed?

[west bridge]

no

[hearty wasp]

run that thang

[west bridge]

just installed it

[hearty wasp]

cool

run that saveeditor file

[west bridge]

ok

[hearty wasp]

it should self decompress

[west bridge]

uh I dont see my save file

[hearty wasp]

I need more information

[west bridge]

how

[hearty wasp]

send a screenshot

[west bridge]

wait this is the steam version not xbox game pass pc version.

[hearty wasp]

if you're on gamepass you can choose the save path manually

[west bridge]

dunno where my save file is located

only know the main file

[hearty wasp]

wym main file

[west bridge]

like

[hearty wasp]

the game?

[west bridge]

yes

the game file

[hearty wasp]

does nomnom not tell you where it is btw

[west bridge]

no

The only files inside is "Assets, Binaries, GAMEDATA"

Assets is game logos

[west bridge]

Lucky I got it installed

[hearty wasp]

should be able to get NomNom to open the save directory with this

[west bridge]

uhm.

I got about

8 file folders, and 5 JSON files, and 1 index file..

[hearty wasp]

again, give me a screenshot

[west bridge]

im doomed

[stoic glen]

Choose containers.index

[west bridge]

ok

hate this

I cant put it in the path

[stoic glen]

Can you fully screenshot it?

[west bridge]

What screenshot?

[stoic glen]

This

[west bridge]

didnt I already ss that?

[hearty wasp]

you can always just copy the folder path and then also the file name into the "file name" field

[west bridge]

i did

[hearty wasp]

cool

[west bridge]

but

like

It wont let me type it in

I think i got it

[hearty wasp]

you can copy the file name itself by pressing F2 while having the file selected

[west bridge]

got it

[civic horizon]

Is there a mod that just makes everything thing harder

[silent pivot]

My first generation mod ( pathfinder update )
https://youtu.be/hxwTLBUm04g

[civic horizon]

Dose this mod work for current version?

[silent pivot]

well i ve updated all my mods through all updates, so it s not exactly the same but euphoria current mod is an evolution of that

[civic horizon]

Cool

[silent pivot]

i ve totaly forgot that video and just watched it, and i realised euphoria is not that far, and that the video was cool too

[hearty wasp]

PTSd?

may not be updated tho

[silent pivot]

with RGOG u have a challenge mode

since i am here

lol i just saw the video and the mech was here too

i forgot

finaliszed second version of my planets generation ( aliens world 2 - Atlas Rises ) https://youtu.be/gHReDApp5_M

3 rd version of the planets generation ( alien worlds 3 - created under Next, released under The Abyss ) https://youtu.be/4FZ0uleQSFU

4th version of the generation was Fantasy Worlds ( NMS VISIONS update ) ( i call "generation" each time i ve rebooted everything from scratch ) https://youtu.be/t3zajLKrrdU

5th Generation Fantasy Worlds 4 ( supporting constructs mod - NMS Synthesis update )
https://youtu.be/jWvWOKJImQo

6th generation : aborted project due to the release of NMS ORIGINS right in th emiddle 😉 (which had a new planets generation )

https://youtu.be/N2olTMN_FPg

8th generation "ARCADIA II" - Prisms vanilla update required me to retake everything from scratch took me few updates to reach the diversity of the first Arcadia ( Prisms - Expeditions - Companions - Outlaws) https://youtu.be/a3htq-wewtg

9th generation was me wanting to redesign everything and took several steps:

• Epic Fantasy early version ( unreleased due to NMS Endurance release )
• Epic fantasy assets ( which was to have something new to share )
• RGOG Redmas Game Overhaul Generator , entirely in lua, which auto generates the parts that used to be handcrafted in Arcadia, which increases the diversity even more.
  and allows to create very different overhauls including "simulated old planet generations" i did, reproducing the way i used to do thoses generations. ( totally by nostalgia )

I haven't been playing NMS for quite a long time and honestly don't intend to keep updating my Lightfix mod. I just don't have the time for it anymore. If any mod developer here is interested in taking it over from me, feel free to let me know 🙂 Just tossing this out here as I still keep receiving requests for updates etc😅

[hearty wasp]

is that something like ReLight?

[merry wasp]

Jump on modding discord ask for someone to take it over if need be

!modding-link

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/22ZAU9H

[silent pivot]

you should do a lua

( a script that can be used to autogenerate the mod )

100% of my mods are lua now

[last agate]

anyone have a list of mods to make nms look better, more realistic, higher quality etc? ive been browsing thru some of the reshades but im hesitant to use em bc a lot tone down the coloring or make it more bland imo

[silent pivot]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2379

you can edit the changes if u need , by using Rgog https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2578

[solid hawk]

Got a link to the mod?

[fallow meadow]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1496

[silent pivot]

i am sure my mods are a bit confusing 🙂
Redmas visual overhaul is a standalone mod that only changes the visual effects ( no generation or gameplay change ) and is a particular setting on RGOG that gives realistic space and planets. which can be edited to be more "fantasy" like with rgog. With Rgog you can also add features to it ( including gameplay or generation ) or merge it with others mods (which is an AMUMSS feature )
screenshot from RVO Redmas visual overhaul:

The concept behind RGOG , which is new even for AMUMSS users, was to solve several issues that i had with my set of mods:

• too many paks ( hard to maintain )
• not very flexible ( you had tons of files to sort out and which were limited in their customisation )
• was a pain to update.
  With rgog , you need 1 pak ( you chose the project that correspond the most to what you need , in this case Redmas visual overhaul ( but it can be a gameplay mod that i did or a generation mod, or a full overhaul, (you get the idea ) ) then you edit the features you want to add to it with rgog. and generate the mod that you need. ( with precise control of the features you want to add ) once NMS is updated, you only have to generate again your mod since your preferences are stored.
  It is way more convinient than before. 🙂

[west bridge]

Is there free building mods

[last agate]

never got a chance to come back to this yesterday, but checking it out now. thank you!

[west bridge]

hello?

[silent pivot]

I am just not sure what you mean by free building

in RGOG you have a whole building revision

but i am not sure it is what you ask

Redmas Building overhaul :

This will give advanced building possibilities ( all the changes where made case by case ( which prevents you from doing things that are messy for the game ))
Note that those built changes will persist in your save when you remove the mod or are visible by vanilla players.
o can build underwater structures, above water
o Can add more decoration and wood, concrete, metal walls, doors, floors and windows to freighters bases ( I've filtered the ones that will bug your base if u place them ))
o Can place decorations on settlements ( interiors and exteriors ) ( once u learned them ) ( you can also place them anywhere on worlds without a base ( as a side effect )
o [OPTIONAL] Free power : Electromagnetic generators gives power wherever you place them
o Exteriors standing lights are auto powered ( this change was made for decorating your settlement )
o You can put Exocrafts geobays in your inventories
o You can put power generators, batteries, and health stations in your inventories
o You can resize more things ( i ve filters the ones that will made you bug your game )

the description is old, it can do more things actually

[silent pivot]

nice

https://youtu.be/WdcmTggEk48

with Euphoria ( Game Overhaul ) you can visit vanilla players bases and hubs. + The mod will add new functionalities to their bases for you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJGp2N_pleQ

[west bridge]

Free cost mod

So you can build for free r

[silent pivot]

i ve nt played with it too much but sounds like something you can change in the difficulty param since 4.0

[west bridge]

Okay

[silent pivot]

i am not sure

maybe i am totally wrong, checking right now

yeah, sounds like one of thoses params should do it

crafting : free , sounds like it is it

[west bridge]

crafting

not building

[night adder]

Okay, I've hit an impasse trying to figure something out, so am tossing my questions out in multiple places because so far, I've not found anyone able/willing to answer/explain. I'm trying to understand the positioning system used for base objects - some of it I've already puzzled out, but now I'm a little stuck.
So, Position I understand, it's simply X,Y,Z offset from the Base origin point.
For Up, I know the middle value is the Scale multiplier, and my best guess is the other 2 values are meant to represent angles as a percentage of 360deg. Questions the First: Is this correct, and if so what are the reference points used? ie, does the horizontal angle start with 0 being straight out from the Base Computer screen, or its opposite? And does it measure clockwise, or counter? Ditto on those Q's for the vertical.
That leaves At. Again guessing, that the middle value represents length for things like wires, and is basically null for most objects. So the last 2 values should be another angular measurement, giving vector for wires, and that's as far as logic has gotten me. So again, am I correct? If so, are the At angular values measured from the object, or from base origin? And lastly, how do these values affect most objects? Will increasing them result in the base object becoming twisted in some fashion?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, and thank you.

[hearty wasp]

search for mods in the "Cheats" category on Nexus

[hearty wasp]

If you cannot find an answer, prolly'd be good to ask DJMonkey on Nexus under his base builder app mod page

Or his Twitter, even

[night adder]

@hearty wasp Appreciate the tip - I've never interacted with them, and would rather not introduce myself simply to ask a wall of questions, however that'll be my in case of no response option. 🙂

[hearty wasp]

Fair

[sacred frigate]

For this you'll need to learn a bit about matrix and vector maths. Position you have correct. Up represents the "Up" vector, you can think of this as an arrow pointing vertically upwards from how the part is rotated. The "At" vector represents the forward vector - think of this as an arrow pointing out from the front of the part. Using cross product you can calculate the other vector which represents the "sideways facing arrow". All these three vectors you can construct a transformation matrix which represents the full position and orientation of a base part.

If the vectors are normalized the scaling of the base part is default. If you multiply these vectors you can scale the base part.

[night adder]

@sacred frigate Aw hell yes, thank you! It may take me a bit to get the hang of, but it's a huge relief to no longer stumble in the dark making guesses. I greatly appreciate the concise and useful answer, let me know if I can ever return the favour. :)\

[sacred frigate]

No worries 🙂

[outer talon]

Does modding stop you from playing expeditions?

[hearty wasp]

no

[outer talon]

Ok was always looking at this like cheating. Oh well sounds good

[vivid hinge]

YOU CAN FUCKING MOD THIS GAME!?

[hearty wasp]

yes

[fresh arch]

Yes, to an extent

Don't expect Bethesda level modding

[fallow meadow]

One thing to add to that, is the scaling. This used to, or should be done on all three axis, but for some time now only the Y-axis is used in the object data. This results in some funky behaviour where an object has the correct height, but appears slim and short on the other axis when viewed in Blender. You can actually even observe this same behaviour in MP as well, just prior to a scaled object actually being placed (preview placement). Once placed, the game just forces the other axis without adjusting the object data for X, and Z.

[night adder]

@fallow meadow Good to know, copying that over to my personal Discord, as well - it's my version of a personal organizer lol

[sacred frigate]

It also gets a bit more complex with the cable parts. They use the At and Up vectors in a very particular way to get them placed properly.

[fallow meadow]

AH yes, and this used to be different as well in the past

I remember where I had to adjust the placement of the end position closer or further away depending on scale, but has been slightly changed in how this is done

[night adder]

@sacred frigate Well after I have time to experiment with it a bit, getting my 2000u SRT Cable back is what sparked this learning adventure, if I get stuck you'll likely hear from me again XD

[sacred frigate]

Before frontiers, the default length unit of a cable part was 1.0. After Frontiers they changed it to 0. In all my tools I had to compensate for this offset.

[fallow meadow]

(I know you don't like others messing with the locks 🙂 )

[night adder]

15 months since Frontiers, and I'm flabbergasted that I've had the most success in finding a glitch to extend SRT cables back out - to a grand total of +60-65u, only 1735u short of what I used to take for granted. XD

[fallow meadow]

We're spoiled on PC where cable length is no issue

[night adder]

Yeah, I'm spoiled on oldgen too, where every star system has 7 pools of Multitools... lol

[lime mesa]

how can i mod the game and what can i do with the mods

[fallow meadow]

This page describes how to mod your game. What you can do with mods depends on what the mod is made to do. I suggest you check out Nexus Mods (link in pins) and see what mods you like.

[wheat raven]

just tried nomnom the first time

idk but it somehow looks it screwed up my save

[wheat raven]

what is bethesda level modding

[marble briar]

the greatest there is

[vale iron]

It makes a backup automatically I believe, so you can just restore the backup

What did it do to your save though?

[wheat raven]

last time i remember, i made all tech slots on anything that has tech slots supercharged

and attempted to enable all possible slots on exocrafts

and the moment i run the game, i see the save name is just, comma

,

not the usual "Load Game"

i suppose

[vale iron]

Oh that's normal, a bug in nomnom I guess. If it didn't have a name, it puts a comma there

You can just rename it

[fresh arch]

Running scripts and frameworks to change core mechanics of the game, having options to totally change player & NPC appearance are the basic ones that come to my mind

Also not having to rely on unofficial patches provided by the community is a big difference

[magic lava]

400k crappy mods and 10 good ones

[merry wasp]

you mean from bethesda itself or the community?

fyi for those in need of speed in derilicts

[wheat raven]

how to rename saves

[merry wasp]

ask in #nms-questions

most mod authors don't play much 🙂

[wheat raven]

huh

[merry wasp]

i know there is a button for it somewhere

when you select your save from ingame

[timid burrow]

Anyone here knows the pallet and colorAlt names of golden vector?

[hearty wasp]

golden vector's colours is from its texture

[timid burrow]

Oh! dang, alright, thank you friend-entity 🙂

[hearty wasp]

I'm not sure if there're "names" for proc gen colours either

they just sit in a list of colours values

[timid burrow]

Names aren't procgen. For the rest of the ships (except solar, living, exotic) the names are same.

[vale iron]

I think they mean like 'rock', 'primary'

[hearty wasp]

like the type?

[timid burrow]

I did mean to ask if GV had the same naming convention in the game file, or not. yeah!

[hearty wasp]

oh like the ones in the texture mbins

[timid burrow]

{"SelectedPreset":"^", "CustomData":{ "DescriptorGroups":[], "Colours":[{ "Palette":{ "Palette":"Paint", "ColourAlt":"Primary" }, "Colour":[ 0.75, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0 ]}

like in this entry, see how the names of pallet and colorAlt are Paint and Primary.

but if GV is taking up colors from texture, these value don't matter.

[vale iron]

If you want different colored vectors though, I made a texture replacement mod for that

[timid burrow]

I was thinking about changing the color of GV to AV (from poster), or close to it. I have tried that with one of my other ships (tried to get it as close as possible, image attached).

But i'd love to see the mod you've made.

[vale iron]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2015

[timid burrow]

Oh this is your mod. I was just going through the mod page a few minutes ago. 😅

already downloaded :3

[vale iron]

Yeah, almost everything that starts with g is mine

[timid burrow]

Awesome, imma go take a look at as many as I can find 😄

[vale iron]

This has all but the most recent couple I've made:
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1541/

[timid burrow]

Getting mino reskin and custom freighters for sure. 😮

I don't have the correct software/tools to fiddle with .dds files, yet, haven't fiddled with making mods in NMS as such. So am gonna use your creations 😄

Thank you friend-entity Gumsk

[fresh arch]

Oh that is a beauty

[timid burrow]

Thank you. I’ll share the color values if you want.

[fresh arch]

Nah Im good with my fleet

I just like the combo of white primary + accent color

And that crimson one is sooo goood

[timid burrow]

It’s one of my fav shades of red. 😄

[silent pivot]

not my case 😄

my only complain about NMS mods is that you have numerous versions of the same mods. And it's more annoying when you were here first, and even more when every one forgot you

like the gmods, i did all them way before

i can take it, thats why i have the longest longevity , but i understand people running away after 3 or 4 forced updates by the game or 3 or 4 iterence of the same mod that they did, poping up constantly

i can take it, because as long as the game have a nice set of mods, i am happy.
I am also happy if one way or another i inspired the game developers.
I sent this as a pdf under foundation to Hello games, and like 90% of the features describded are now in the game or was in my mods or both 🙂
https://youtu.be/KOgixcOVKIc

"This channel is for sharing and discussing mods, and asking other modders for help. If you have a personal issue with a mod creator, please DM them and DO NOT talk about it here."
I would have said:
if you have a PERSONNAL issue with a modder, dont DM him and ask yourself who is the problem

[merry wasp]

Testing mod !=playing

But yeah, it's why i say most

I'm cloc to 1k hours i think

[silent pivot]

you really think i spent 4000 hours testing mods ?

[merry wasp]

Well, hours fly when you're testing 😄

[silent pivot]

the mods i do are for my personal use

first

[merry wasp]

but yeah you probably play NMS often 🙂

you still gotta get that PD achievement tho

[silent pivot]

on the contrary i hate testing the game instead of just playing it

so i concider playing as testing

which is a more efficient test

[merry wasp]

i have to test if my mods work tho before i drop them on nexusmods

but i'm not goign to play 50+ hours to test a mod that only adds a craftable Alien Spawn Sac

[silent pivot]

yeah, i have planets generation mods: they are a pain to test. i need to visit 20 planets to scratch the surface of the idea if the mod is ready

all my planets generations mods required at least 4 months to developpement before being ready

and i did 9 reboots of them from scratch ( i made the count the other day )

but was a good exercice, for example Euphoria ( and others from RGOG engine ) is very stable, varied, without fps drops, but it s also easy to break thoses points if you do "the too much update"

[naive moth]

Yes, of course. This would be the link: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1496 It's honestly nothing too crazy. All it really does is increase light source values so they actually become useful. Nothing else 🙂

[silent pivot]

9 generations but it doesnt count every update of it:

• Wild Worlds 1 ( Pathfinder - The community update 1.5 )

• Remaster of Fantasy Worlds : NMS Fantasy ( Waypoint - standalone mod )

[wheat raven]

that sounds like a very stretch no?

[fresh arch]

Not sure what you mean by that

Stuff like Fallout 4 Script Extender is must have for many popular mods, because it allows exactly that - running scripts

For providing functionality that is not available in the standard game

[molten sparrow]

there's no mod that makes so the bigger terrain manipulator's sizes gives more resources right?

[wheat raven]

it is

well sort of

if anything, can you imagine like, ||ability to add custom races to no man's sky||

[silent pivot]

it used to be

it snot working anymore ?
https://youtu.be/zF6SIOKPg3g

[silent pivot]

Redmas visual overhaul VS Redmas Euphoria

VS Redmas Sci Fi Fantasy

Redmas E3PIC Fantasy VS Redmas Fantasy Origins

vs REDMAS EUPHORIA

taken from same locations, just swaping mods

the most fun part it is that it is all auto-generated

[languid harbor]

Does modding affect core gameplay?

or are there any consequences of modding the game?

[silent pivot]

depends on the mods. I took care in my mods to them being removable anytime, but it s not garanteed with any mods

[silent pivot]

i did mods that changes the gameplay indeed

[languid harbor]

oh I see, Thanks

[magic lava]

[silent pivot]

yeah i am a state i dont recognize my children

[magic lava]

Lol

[silent pivot]

i can tell its from me, but keep mixing the names

😉

[silent pivot]

that one is fantasy reborn too. I should have not put the floating stones in reborn, since it came later, And Euphoria have them already, but i couldnt resist ^^

[runic kayak]

Quicksilver a save editable thing?

[silent pivot]

i dont think so, but i am agaisnt the idea.

[runic kayak]

I don’t have anything to spend it on rn anyways just was wondering

[silent pivot]

How your living ship look like now ? 🙂

@runic kayak

[runic kayak]

I didn’t do it yet bc I went to bed I’ll do it late today

[night adder]

@runic kayak Yes, all currency is editable.

[runic kayak]

Ah

@silent pivot im also debating if I should even do it bc idk what colours I’d change it to because black and orange I think wouldn’t really work for it

[silent pivot]

yeah, dont do it if u dont feel it

[runic kayak]

I also get a lot of compliments on it so I think I’ll keep it for now

Was named Nero renamed it to Mythrix

[silent pivot]

yeah he s beautiful

i have 2 ones :

• Koga ( that i used a lot in my trailers / let's play )

• and Tyra 🙂

since they are living beings i choosed human characters names 😉

[runic kayak]

Same

[silent pivot]

that's the encounter video
https://youtu.be/3B2nIFGpREI

[runic kayak]

That’s certainly a big part of Living Ships

[silent pivot]

maybe it s just me , but i can tell a personality in our pictures

in yours i see a young one looking for first adventures

[runic kayak]

That was like the same day after I got it lol

[silent pivot]

If you are using the "Redmas visual overhaul" or mods using it ( aka all my overhauls ) , you have to enable the depth of field in the lense tab during photomode - otherwise everything will be blury when you try to take a picture in photomode ( you only have to do it once )

[naive flower]

it is legal, we can edit pets

and add diff features

[silent pivot]

was a joke 😉

sounded like someone selling something on black market 😉

[last siren]

Mmm yes Ball

[silent pivot]

whats going on ? i mean, is it intentional ?

u have to had the engine, if you dont want the line under

without the engine it appears on a default value that is way too under the cockpit

thats why i had to add an engine on by balls

spaceships

[last siren]

I did not make this just showing it off

[silent pivot]

ah ok, i just wanted to know if it was an existing mod or a possible issue

https://youtu.be/aEBDVUnPR88

though i still have to fix stuff for the spaceships generation - but it is plan that i will release it as standalone mod when it s polished

that's the engine i was talking about

i randomly paused it, but thats a cool shot 😄
