And therefore higher is better

[dusk saffron]

I'll play with one stat at a time when the missions re-roll and see what changes I can find

[lunar quartz]

this is what the libMBIN field is. No idea if this is signed or unsigned. But if it is unsigned then higher must be better since it can't go below 0

[dusk saffron]

0 can't be the highest possible stat for some of them?

0 fuel is as good as it can be, and every number adds more fuel to the trip

[lunar quartz]

No, as I said, you'd need to go negative then, and I don't really see a reason why you would do that. And if you wouldn't go negative, you would need to set a minimum somewhere above 0. It's just logical to use higher is better

[lunar quartz]

I don't think that's how it works. fuel usage is determined by a different formula, the trait does reduction

just set the trait to 100, check your frigate's fuel usage, then set it to 0 and check again

[dusk saffron]

I have to wait for new missions, then I'll post what I see

[lunar quartz]

Are all your frigate on a mission? If not, you can just check from the Bridge

I think you can check them anyway, even if they are on a mission. I never really got into the frigate stuff

[dusk saffron]

My frigates are back, all missions were completed

[lunar quartz]

then just check them at the bridge terminal

[dusk saffron]

only goes up to 50

[lunar quartz]

classic HG move 🤦‍♂️
Well, there is your answer

[dusk saffron]

0 for the win 🙂

[lime mesa]

im looking for a mod to change the colors of my starship, can someone help?

[hearty wasp]

[hearty wasp]

find a ship with the seed that matches your desired parts and colour and replace your save's ship seed with that

[lime mesa]

yeah im not paying

[fresh arch]

You don't have to pay for anything

You can use the customizer website to get search query for your desired parts and color combination

Then paste that query into the bot channel

[hearty wasp]

that server also has more people doing save editing

if you don't wanna edit your save then search on Nexus for some mod that changes the color only for you

[fresh arch]

Yes but mods like True Color will affect colors of all starships

If they want to customize only 1 starship with specific colors, that's something only save editing can accomplish

[hearty wasp]

nah there's a mod that activates the unfinished ship customiser

but again it doesn't transmit the customisation data in mp

[fresh arch]

Activates the WHAT

[hearty wasp]

oop wrong word order

but yeah basically freighter customisation but for ship

[rotund timber]

you can use save editor and edit Raw Json

I've posted the link to the article above

@night adder Ok moving here. Im working on a mod that changes some text elements in the game which I find not-so-clear, misleading, you call it. Specifically Im interested in the messages regarding saving the game in multiplayer and Nexus mission scenarios:

<Property name="Id" value="INTRCT_SAVE_NO_POS" />
<Property name="Value" value="Progress Saved // Position Not Saved In Multiplayer" />

<Property name="Id" value="INTRCT_SAVE_NO_POS_NEXUS" />
<Property name="Value" value="Progress Saved // Position Not Saved During Nexus Mission" />

My question kinda has 2 parts:

1. do you happen to know what kinda scenario / event triggers the "not saved during Nexus mission" message? I tested a couple different scenarios (saving during Nexus mission solo, saving during Nexus mission in a team where I was leader, saving during mission in a team where I was not the leader) and I kept getting the other message, saying just "position not saved in multiplayer".

2. do you think it's possible the message with Nexus mission is no longer used in the game? I tried googling it, there are no mentions of it since at least a year. People on reddit / steam complain about getting their progress reset, but they post the 1st message.

[night adder]

@fresh arch Likely used only in cases where MP isnt an option, so PS/XB players lacking subscription + Switch

[fresh arch]

Ooohohhhhhhh

axes the router to go offline to test

[timid burrow]

To be very honest with you friend-entity @fresh arch I have only seen “Progress saved // Position not saved in multiplayer”.

I’ve never seen “during nexus mission”.

[timid burrow]

Hmm! But switch in specific doesn’t have access to nexus mission. And wouldn’t it be impossible to access nexus mission without proper internet connection? ODS coming into play here.

[night adder]

@timid burrow Forgot Switch doesnt have Nexus missions, and the point about ODS is valid - but my point about PS/XB players stands. One can have access to ODS without access to MP

[timid burrow]

Ohhh! So connected to internet via console but doesn’t have subscription services meaning they cannot access multiplayer but can access ODS. I thought we couldn’t connect to ODS either if we didn’t have subscription.

[timid burrow]

Lol! Don’t do that. Axe the cable instead. Cable is cheaper. 😝

[merry wasp]

best thing i can think of Not saved in MP is when you're playing online so joining a friend, doing nexus missions will all trigger that message when you fe exit a space ship, while Not saved during Nexus might only trigger when playing offline and doing a nexus mission

that best i can think off

[fresh arch]

Yeah I will try going offline and starting a Nexus mission

Thanks for the input

[fresh arch]

Sadly no, going full offline and starting a Nexus mission still produces the other message

[merry wasp]

lol

[merry wasp]

worst thing could be that 1 of them got deprecated but HG didnt remove the entry

[fresh arch]

Got Lapy a new coat of paint

White with yellow accents, just like my color scheme

[night adder]

@fresh arch I'll check on my bro in law's account, he doesnt have PS+

[fresh arch]

You mean the save message?

No need, Gleam checked it on Xbox while offline, its still the multiplayer message

[night adder]

@fresh arch But does he have XB Live Gold? My suggestion wasnt that being offline would get the other message, it was that not having the MP subscription for console whatsoever would.

[fresh arch]

You think game would somehow check if player has the subscription?

[fallow meadow]

@tame axle In the pins you can find a link to either NomNom or NMSSE to use for Save Editor. There is also a pin that lists all the legacy base part IDs, which you will need to add. First go ahead and make sure you backed up your saves. Get your Save Editor installed and running. Then let me know when ready and I will give further details if you wish.

[tame axle]

Oh it's fine I thought they might be a way to get them without a save editor

thanks for the help

[fallow meadow]

Ah, in that case, you will need to get a friend who has the legacy parts unlocked to build them for you (requires setting build permissions accordingly)

[silk onyx]

AMUMSS to be install outside of the game folder or is it allowed to be inside of game folder

its outside of the game file right?

[hearty wasp]

you just shouldn't install anything inside game folders in general

game updates can fuck things over

[silk onyx]

ok thanks, im trying to remember of a mod that has an editior where you can change your ship color and design? does that exist?

nevermind found it

[hearty wasp]

you can edit your ship's seed using a save editor

how to generate ship color in save editor?

[vale iron]

Ask on the above linked creative and sharing hub to see if someone will import that then trade it to you.

[vale iron]

Ask on the above linked creative and sharing hub.

[hearty wasp]

colour is generated via the seed along with all other parts in one go, so follow what Gumsk say

[night adder]

@fresh arch The game obviously checks whether one has a subscription because MP/Network options are missing from menu screens, but that apparently doesnt get the other msg, either lol

[rotund timber]

@vale iron Thanks for giving a Blue Unitron on request. You made the day.

[dusty cliff]

is it possible to use the save editor to change the colors of my ship?

[hearty wasp]

ty that made this so much easier

[fickle wren]

Are there any instructions or walkthroughs of how to edit some of the difficulty settings once you've locked them in? I set everything on my file to as hard as it can be cuz I thought that's what I had to do to play with my friend who's a permadeath player of course I've been playing now for about a couple months and this restricted inventory stack stuff is really dumb. Lol

[rotund timber]

yes and yes,
I have posted about that some days back and it seems very few people knows About that,
or don't want to edit raw json.

[rotund timber]

but you can edit raw json and change the rgb values by pasting a codeline

[hearty wasp]

that's local only

[rotund timber]

yes

if a person is using a save editor he's want to change the color of the ship for himself right?

i mean if you want to have the exact shade of the color you like

otherwise the option above is pretty good
although it requires patron membership to be able to select colors while generating seed

[silk onyx]

got a question

expand your exosuit technology slots up to 48 slots, the mod in general still works for the current game or is it broken? cause i have it as one of my mods however when checking for updates its been listed as hidden on nexus site. Should I remove it or leave it alone?

[hearty wasp]

there're other slot mods on Nexus

just search for "slot"

[silk onyx]

im aware, wasnt what i asked.. i was wondering if its ok to keep or should remove it?

the mod doesnt seem broken in my game but i could be wrong

[hearty wasp]

if you're not sure it's always safer to not use it

and then use an alternative

[silk onyx]

im looking trhough it but none of them updated for the 2023?

[hearty wasp]

the game hasn't been updated since 2022

it's normal for mods to not need to update

you can just sort by last updated and get some from december

[silk onyx]

ok, will ginventory More supercharged slots interfer with other mods that adds more slots?

[hearty wasp]

mods that change slots would interfere with each other, yes

if they do the same thing chances are they will

[silk onyx]

i have two mods for slots - more upgradeable slots and expand your exosuit technology slots up to 48.. im intrested in ginventory more supercharged

[hearty wasp]

those 2 mods may interfere with each other to begin with

can prolly look at the description and see what it changes

gumsk's mods should have luas if you need to merge

[silk onyx]

for the more upgradeable slots the file edited is: METADATA/REALITY/TABLES/INVENTORYTABLE.MBIN And as for the ginventory : DEFAULTSAVEDATA.MBIN

[hearty wasp]

then they shouldn't fuck with each other

[silk onyx]

ok thanks for your help

[dusk saffron]

@silk onyxkinda sounds like one of Bodie's mods from a while ago, when did you get it?

[solid hawk]

More upgradable should be good. Doesn't touch supercharged

Since there's other mods that do, decided against adding it

[limber spade]

Do any nms mod’s help get access to buildings that have glitched into the ground or side of a mountain?

[vale iron]

No, not through terrain, only through objects

[silk onyx]

Sometime last year not sure when @dusk saffron

[hearty wasp]

spent way too long on this interior

[hearty wasp]

wonder if I should add this as a trading post option

[unborn wren]

Idk why you need the 48 slot one. Your max is already 60.

[dusk saffron]

I highly suspect this mod is old, back when we used to use living ships to give our regular ships 48 tech slots.

[unborn wren]

I assume that as well. :/

[silver pivot]

Not really modding, but it amused me last night to run around the anomaly as a miniature interloper.

[unborn wren]

Where are these located?

[fresh arch]

There should be a "backups" folder located at the same directory where save editor's .exe file is

[unborn wren]

Ah, thank you.

[dusty cliff]

is there any working mods for removing the in game freeze when leaving a planet. used to have one it dosent work anymore

[hearty wasp]

check the latest comment
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2217?tab=posts

[fresh arch]

There are instructions on the mod page on how to do that yourself

You will need to download 1 program, 5 minutes and you should be done

[dusty cliff]

ty

[fresh arch]

Oh god

Please no regex

The moment I'll need to use regex for mods is the moment I run away

[fickle wren]

Ok I figured it out. It's just as easy as editing the section on the json in the save editor. Changed Hard, to normal. "InventoryStackLimits":{
"InventoryStackLimitsDifficulty":"Normal"

Saved it and it instantly allowed me to have different stack sizes that are allowed under permadeath. (Though you can change it to easy (9999) as well)

Not literally the word easy, I think it's Low instead of normal or hard.

Updated version for Save Conversion between platforms (minor edit)

[hardy aurora]

to view, enable Link Preview

<:info:850810445577453658> **Convert Save between platforms** <:steam:978895564055916574><:xbox:472168929696022528>

I created regex replace patterns with some instructions on two websites. Feel free to give it a try if you wish. Make sure to have backups of your saves!

You will need a Save Editor of your choice for the full Raw JSON data from your saves on both platforms.

• NMSSE (goatfungus) 🔗
• NomNom (zencq) 🔗

Additionally you need to know your Game Pass UID, Game Pass Username, Steam64ID, and Steam Username, to be used. If you then do it correctly, either through the links, or with Notepad++, you will end up with converted full JSON save data, to overwrite the save data on a save for the new platform.

• Game Pass to Steam 🔗 (alternative)
• Steam to Game Pass 🔗 (alternative)

Alternatively you can use regular expression / replace patterns for Notepad++ below.

Make sure to check the 'regex' tick-box and replace the following parts:
<GPUID> <GPUSERNAME> <STEAM64ID> <STEAMUSERNAME>

Game Pass to Steam
Find what:
(?<lid>"LID": *")[0-9]*(?<uid>",\s*"UID": *")<GPUID>(?<usn>",\s*"USN": *")<GPUSERNAME>(?<ptk>",\s*"PTK": *")[A-Z]{0,2}(?<end>")
Replace with:
$+{lid}<STEAM64ID>$+{uid}<STEAM64ID>$+{usn}<STEAMUSERNAME>$+{ptk}ST$+{end}

Steam to Game Pass
Find what:
(?<lid>"LID": *")[0-9]*(?<uid>",\s*"UID": *")<STEAM64ID>(?<usn>",\s*"USN": *")<STEAMUSERNAME>(?<ptk>",\s*"PTK": *")[A-Z]{0,2}(?<end>")
Replace with:

[summer lotus]

I adopted this kind fellow using a mod

but he has no name and does not appear in pet registry

[hearty wasp]

prolly because it has no creature/pet data

in the game files I mean

[summer lotus]

hmm

i saw someone else with a massive version of this one

what does the lua file do?

[fresh arch]

LUA script is used to build the mod in AMUMSS

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

[summer lotus]

so should i put the lua file into the mods folder as well?

[fresh arch]

No you just need the PAK file

[summer lotus]

hm

is there any way to give the derelict droid creature data?

[fresh arch]

No idea, Im a noob when it comes to modding

Check the mod comments page, maybe someone asked this already

https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/9706028-companion-pet-creature-unlocker/page-28#entry116111718

[solid hawk]

Thanks

Figured it was my mod, lol. @summer lotus Yeah, I remember that one. A new beta build of AMUMSS had come out which had a bug in it. Once I discovered the bug and nature of the issue (bytes were being lopped off, so the files looked right in a text editor, but were the wrong size), I re-rolled the mod using the release version of AMUMSS, and we got the problem in the beta version fixed in the morning.

Emergency fix. Previous 4.x versions weren't working correctly, due to a bug in my AMUMSS install. Created the mod incorrectly from the lua script.```

So, you want to download the latest version, which is 4.07.

For the most part, with a few exceptions like TEXTURE (graphic file) mods, NMS mods are neither backward nor forward compatible, because HelloGames changes stuff in the files. If you try running mods made for a different version of NMS, you'll frequently see a crash and the game will refuse to load. This is because there may be property differences in the mod which are now different for the version of NMS. When the exe sees thing in the game files that it doesn't recognize, it'll freak out.

The reason why the mod version is 4.07 and current version of NMS is 4.08, is because the files used by the mod had no changes between NMS 4.07 and 4.08, so no update to the mod was necessary.

[summer lotus]

thank you! I'll try this afternoon. One small question, how did you manage to get so experienced in mod making? I've never even heard of a pak tile before

[summer lotus]

I just downloaded 4.07

Any way i can test it's functionality without purchasing another derelict scanner thingamabob

same issue as last time; no name, doesn't appear in registry

[fresh arch]

Well, do you really need it? You modded that in so you can have it follow you around, where you probably won't interact with it much

Or to show off to other players in Space Anomaly, which won't be able to interact with it anyway

If I were you I'd call it "good enough" and move on

[summer lotus]

Friendly

It does not enter the registry

I.e. it cannot leave the derelict freighter

It follows me around on the freighter but it will perish as soon as I leave

I can't let that happen to george

[night adder]

@summer lotus Those were never coded to be viable anywhere but in space, so you really have no say in that matter

[summer lotus]

I saw one of them in the anomaly

please

I don't want george to die

[night adder]

Where is the Anomaly?

[summer lotus]

I'll install anything

I did not domesticate George simply for him to perish

[night adder]

Those will work on derelicts, in the Anomaly, and possibly on Space Stations, nowhere else

[summer lotus]

I just want him to live

Is there nothing I can do

[night adder]

Short of learning how to write mods, figuring out how to inject what minidrones are missing, and then doing so? No.

[fresh arch]

Pets can be summoned on regular space stations?

[night adder]

I said possibly because I don't recall whether theyre still summonable there

[fresh arch]

I dont think so, that's why I was surprised

Will check later on

Ok but back on topic

Maybe it would be possible to have a texture / mesh swap?

Find one of them exotic ball animals, swap the texture / model, tame that as a pet

Downside it will work only client side

[night adder]

Anything that allows minidrones to be summoned anywhere will be

[solid hawk]

Lot's of time lurking in the NMS modding discord to begin with and then lots of beating my head against the wall.

As DHarhanWulf alluded to, the main thing the mod does is add the E interaction pet button to "creatures" that don't have it. Beyond that, the mod does not make major changes to the creatures. As they were never designed by HG to be pets, some are missing anywhere from a little to a lot of game file data that an official vanilla pet creature would have. I do hope that you get to keep George though. 🙂 I can try to eek out some time to hunt down a minidrone and play with it a bit over the weekend and see if I can come up with anything, but no promises.

In the meantime, with NMS Companion, NomNom, or NMS Save Editor, if he shows up in the companion/pet list, get a backup of George. DM it to me if you could, will save me having to hunt one down.

[night adder]

@solid hawk You could just edit a pet to carry the CreatureID ^MINIDRONE, MODELS/COMMON/ROBOTS/FREIGHTERDRONE.SCENE.MBIN is the scene file the ID references

[solid hawk]

Yeah, I know, but generally prefer to get a vanilla one if possible. I've even been known to travel to the planet a user got a troublesome pet from to see for myself. 🙂

[night adder]

Lmao "vanilla minidrone" - but I get what youre saying

[solid hawk]

That way all the data is as it should be

[solid hawk]

Yeah, got one. Does show in the registry, but graphic is hosed. Was also able to summon on a planet, but half buried itself in the terrain. lol

[night adder]

Same thing happens with the green jellyfish, they werent coded for movement above terrain

[summer lotus]

george perished

[hearty wasp]

Long live William

[summer lotus]

his name was george

you shan't dishonor his grave

[hearty wasp]

"long live" names the successor, not the deceased

Unless you have a George II instead

Then long live George II

[summer lotus]

I had several georges 😔

Anyways, anybody got some nice ship HUD mods? Preferably living ships

[true lotus]

Question please... Would the save editor allow me to remove an Exo slot? I have the quest to get a free one at a drop pod, but the quest is stuck since I maxed already. Also Where would I Find said editor?

Oh and on PC platform

Should have read the Pins.. think I Found it there

[hearty wasp]

if you're looking for texture mods then searching for "ship screen" or "ship hud" or "monitors" would fetch some

[summer lotus]

yes, goatfungus's save editor has the option to disable each slot individually

[true lotus]

Worked like a charm 🙂 Thank You

[summer lotus]

Might as well tick off all the expedition rewards while you're at it ;)

[true lotus]

Ohh the ones we can not get anymore since I Just started?? Bonus!

[summer lotus]

Twitch drops are buggy but twitch drops are just quicksilver purchaseables (NOT counting the ships!)

In exosuit you can finally finish the quicksilver grind, everything together is about 160k quicksilver (not counting things like eggs and fireworks)

of course this is all your choice and if you're playing non-creative i highly recommend you do this the old fashioned way

[true lotus]

Exploring is more my Bag, so the ability to skip a few steps and get my ship all pretty makes life So Much Better! Already 100+ hrs into the grind of it all. At least now I have a choice to skip some things if I feel the need

[night adder]

@summer lotus None of the Twitch ships are QS purchaseable

[summer lotus]

right, the ships! Forgot about those

[honest vapor]

Hey so I used wemod like a dummy in multiplayer with my friend and now our multiplayer is perma broken. Tried switching to my Xbox the save synced but I still get "Player left system" every time we connect.

Currently both PC and Console get player disconnected

Or player left system

Is the only fix starting fresh and just using a save editor to get us back?

[vale iron]

Use a save editor and check your shield value. It's possibly at a ridiculously high number, which is causing server desynch

[dusk saffron]

@vale ironwhere do you recommend the limit for shield?

[fallow meadow]

Set it to 100, then it may update if you make changes to shield in-game

And to be honest, please do not use Wemod

[dusk saffron]

not sure I have even heard of wemod.

[fallow meadow]

I just wanted to mention it, as you were asking about the value in response to the wemod issue

[night adder]

@dusk saffron similar to Cheat Engine

[dusk saffron]

another one I don't think I ever heard about

[vale iron]

Possible answer above

[honest vapor]

Gonna have to try the save editor later.

Honestly though I knew wemod was skiddish but damn. Mess my game up much.

Thanks for your help guys/girls.

[vale iron]

Might be useful for people doing Winter Sky photo contest. This enables the frozen storm screen filter in the photo filters list. It's one to the right of 'Default' and is also labeled 'Default'

[solid hawk]

Frozen storm on a lava world. Lol

Must have seen your post, #contest-rules message

[vale iron]

Heh, nah, it's kind of tradition to have a vanilla category. I think tomorrow is the opposite, modded to the extreme

[neat whale]

is there any mod that makes better LOD or more Draw distance?

[summer lotus]

what mod(s) should I use to make a space station base? all build height mods i find are bundles which include stuff like new parts, i'm trying to avoid such for uploading

[solid hawk]

Beyond Base Building has no non-vanilla parts, but does allow for some planet base objects to be built on freighters. Run the included lua through amumss to have the option of enabling some options, which will create a custom version of the .pak

[solid hawk]

Finelod may help

[neat whale]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1316 this one ?

[solid hawk]

Yeah

Aren't many nms mods for graphics enhancements, as the modders capability is so limited in this regard

Much is just based on graphics settings

I personally have the opposite issue. Dialing things down, so my 6+ year old hardware doesn't catch fire. Lol

[neat whale]

homie thank u very much can i annoy u with a few questions?

[vale iron]

Just ask the questions and we'll answer them when we can

[neat whale]

its ask me for .NET 5 i have 7 when i try to install via AMUMSS and the download is end of the life is there any other way do download SDK 5

[hearty wasp]

use the link provided

end-of-life doesn't mean it stops functioning

and .NET 5 and .NET 7 are not interchangeable

[neat whale]

ok thank you all appreciate it

[solid hawk]

Yep, you got it. The newer .net are not backward compatible with older versions. Like I have 5, 6, and 7 installed due to dependencies with various apps I use.

[azure marsh]

Any way to save edit a ship's maneuverability aside from just making the tech the best possible?

or am i blind

[vale iron]

No, core maneuverability is tied to the ship seed

[azure marsh]

I heard there were more ways to increase the class and tech bonuses, is all

[night adder]

@azure marsh You can edit the Agility bonus roll, though afaik neither editor has the option through GUI, so must be done thru raw JSON

[azure marsh]

ah ouch

i just want a living ship that's viable in combat aghfhhfhgghghg

[honest vapor]

The fix worked mate thank you so much.

The Shield was Infact set to like 9 million

Setting it back to 100 fixed on load.

[vale iron]

Yeah, seems to be a pattern we are seeing

[honest vapor]

That fix was definitely helpful though. At least a new save wasn't needed.

Btw. Complete side note. Is there anyway to wipe my Quicksilver unlocks?

I purchased eggs and accidentally deleted them. I'm unable to claim them again sadly.

The save editor companion section is very unhelpful in figuring out what's actually gonna be there

Am I supposed to guess the seed? 😂

Or am I just lost

[timid burrow]

Friend-entity @vale iron is it actually possible to edit the raw JSON persistent base edits to contain items/values for in game buildings, say, portals or trading outpost building etc?

In other words can we save edit game items/assets as base parts?

[solid hawk]

Not exactly, as most vanilla items don't have base building IDs, which are used to list the parts in the base. For vanilla only items, you would want to use https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1214

800-odd vanilla items, which can be used from the base building menu to add to bases. Some big, some small. Most are non-functional as decoration though, like the various creatures will just stand there and blink at you..."living statues"

Although, not for a base, since you mention portals, https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2645

There are also two mods which add non-vanilla, completely custom items to the base building menu, Kibbles N Bits and Eucli-EA. These can be used together and in conjunction with Ultra Base Building, with a bit of finagling (and running the Luas together in AMUMSS to make a combined .pak

So endeth the answer. 🙂

[honest vapor]

Any got a creature seed list? Or know where a bank of importable companions are?

[pale gazelle]

Hi I’m new to the game, and don’t even understand what modding is. Can some one explain ?

[fresh arch]

If you're new to the game I would recommend playing the game in vanilla state

So you know what the game has to offer by itself

[summer lotus]

Are there any mods to make locations of structures more precise? I'm getting tired of finding the "approximate location"

[summer lotus]

As no man's sky is largely a singleplayer game, modding is entirely allowed. Modding is the installing of separate files to alter the game experience for yourself, to make the game look better, make planets form different, ships look different, new crafting recipes, faster walkspeed etc. No man's sky is largely supportive as the installation process is easy, consisting of making a folder and removing / renaming a text file. As FriendlyFire said, if you're new I recommend playing vanilla or with very few mods (I.e. graphic mods, or crafting mods) so your experience is largely "normal".

this next part is a very mild spoiler about the space anomaly:
||Within the space anomaly you an find other players, but mods will usually work just fine inside of it.||

This is because most mods just make the world look different, without altering the invisible walls and boundaries; that way you gain no advantage over other players.

You understand modding now?

[hearty wasp]

If they don't even know modding as a concept I doubt they'd get very much

Just think of it as player made dlc

[night adder]

@dusty cliff PlayerStateData\PersistentPlayerBases

[dusty cliff]

in files or in save editor?

[night adder]

Ctrl-F and search for AIRL, Airlock Connector is a build part unique to Freighter base - in save editor, raw JSON editor

[dusty cliff]

i found this button

[night adder]

Go to File>Settings and enable Advanced mode

Thatll let you use the Edit JSON button on the left

[dusty cliff]

yep i see the button is lit up now

[night adder]

Load up most recent backup of your save

Then click Edit JSON

[dusty cliff]

ok

[night adder]

In JSON, expand PlayerStateData\PersistentPlayerBases - this will contain every base on the save as a numbered "folder", but you can display entire contents of PersistentPlayerBases and use search

Ctrl-F and search for AIRL, Airlock Connector is a build part unique to Freighter base

[dusty cliff]

ty

[night adder]

Once you've found it, you'll want to copy/paste the entire base objects list into a Notepad file. Then you load up your current save, use the same process to find freighter base, and replace the new base objects list with the old.

[dusty cliff]

ok. ty sm

[night adder]

You can leave the data in the base header and footer completely alone, only touch the objects list

[dusty cliff]

alright

[solid hawk]

This is something Gumsk did up awhile ago, unpublished. You will need to run this lua script through AMUMSS to create the .pak to put into MODS

[solid hawk]

Mods are modification to the game. Could be add items, change timings, run faster......anything. Take a look through at https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/newrecently?page=1

[pale gazelle]

Thanks 👍

[solid hawk]

You're welcome

As FriendlyFire said, play without mods for awhile first. See what annoys you and look for mods to correct those things. 🙂

Also how most people who make the mods start out. We try to fix/change things that bother us about the game.

[pale gazelle]

Cool, thank you. I’ll take your advice, start with the normal game first

I’m pretty sure that will keep me busy for quite a long while anyway.

The scope seems huge and the amount to do looks like lots

Can’t wait to get started.

[solid hawk]

Very cool. You'll enjoy it. Have fun. 🙂

[silk onyx]

Has anyone else besides me used mod called nms coordinates?

[solid hawk]

Not as much a mod as a program, but yeah, back in 2019.

[hexed eagle]

Can using mods in multi-player cause issues?

[hearty wasp]

no

Read pins for more info

[shy grove]

in Pins

[hexed eagle]

Thanks, I am wondering if it would be possible to get mods on the GeForce now cloud service

[hearty wasp]

Not your files, not your game

You can only mod the files you own

[hexed eagle]

That is what I thought

[silk onyx]

Any. Tools or mods to put settlement on same planet as your base?

[neon bobcat]

Hi. How do you guys find working mods on nexus?

Also how do mods affect coop multi-player?

[dusty tree]

@neon bobcat realistic space does a few things
bump up enemy ship stats to match an S class ship of their type
improves their AI so they are much more aggressive
improves squadrons and NPCs so they have an equal chance of winning against pirates

[unborn wren]

Filtersssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[neon bobcat]

Nice

[unborn wren]

It's right thereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[dusty tree]

mods dont affect multiplayer. u can play with an unmodded person while modded

[neon bobcat]

😂😂😂 ok filters I get it. Thanks

[dusty tree]

all mods are client sided

[neon bobcat]

Awesome

That's really cool

[dusty tree]

extremely cool

@neon bobcat i have to stress that with enough mods, there's bound to be ones that will conflict with others because they change the same file. to fix that u have to merge their .LUA files with a program called AUMSS

its in the mod page and its easy enough to use

[neon bobcat]

I see good tip

[solid hawk]

typo, AMUMSS 🙂

[vale iron]

For more details on multiplayer and mods, see the pins

[steady plover]

Anyone here?

[vale iron]

Kind of

[steady plover]

How can I know how many base parts i have used using nms save edit

[vale iron]

For one base or all?

I don't think there's a built in function for it. I think you have to go to edit raw JSON, playerstatedata, persistentplayerbases, open up each base and see how many object entries there are. Add them together for the total

There was some tool that did it automatically, but I forget what it was. Maybe the blender base building plug-in? @fallow meadow would know.

[fallow meadow]

@steady plover When using NMSSE, it used to show the amount of items, but it is currently most often bugged to show any base information. You can either choose to count for yourself in Raw JSON editor, or use NomNom as an alternative. There are other tools that may show the part count for bases, of which, indeed, the Blender plugin.

[steady plover]

I have gostfingus

Does that show

[fallow meadow]

Sorry, NMSSE = goatfungus, which can only show bases from pre-4.0 (4651 normal mode)

So unless your save is from pre-4.0, you can no longer see base part count. You will have to check the Raw JSON editor instead, to manually count. If you have Notepad++ or some other handy text editor, you could possibly do a search + count

[steady plover]

Notepad ++

😵‍💫

[vale iron]

You don't need NP++. You can just look in the raw JSON. This base, for example, has 109 objects

[fallow meadow]

Ah, duhhh, ... lol, of course that works, taking the max index value -1

[steady plover]

Where is this?

[vale iron]

Raw JSON, PlayerStateData, PersistentPlayerBases

[steady plover]

Okay but how to know which base i am looking at
Does it show its name anywhere

[vale iron]

Near the end of each entry is the base name

[steady plover]

Why is @night adder base showing in my JSON 🤔

[fallow meadow]

Next to your own bases, the game will usually also save all bases present in the system you are located in

By default all your own bases will be listed first, including your freighter, followed by other player bases.

[steady plover]

Pieni Talo
Senfina LUMO
Freighter base
Tauraron Manomi...
And XMAS by dharhan

And it has names in name tab

Sorry about terrible image...

[vale iron]

Yeah, that's where I was meaning when I said near the end. Not quite as close to the end as I remembered

[steady plover]

And my base part count as follows
Pieni Talo...................1044
Senfina LUMO..........1055
Freighter base.............158
Tauraron Manomi.....438

Wow...senfina lumo or my hub base is biggest

Thanks for helping @vale iron and miss @fallow meadow

🙏

[twilit smelt]

part count?

[dusk saffron]

Anyone use NomNom? I'm not sure how to import a ship.

[unborn wren]

@vestal shore https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/957

Run this. It will check if there are conflicts.

[vestal shore]

"This" doesn't really specify between the 4 downloads

[unborn wren]

One says "Main", the other 3 says "optional"

...Are you seriously asking this?

[vestal shore]

the main is 1kb and tells me to continue downloading elsewhere

maybe I'd rather check than fuck up an install

[unborn wren]

Why the heck is it so terrifying this isn't malware...

Just... follow the text...

Why are you treating this as if it will brick your computer.

[vestal shore]

I didn't say it would brick my computer or that I was concerned about it being "malware"

I said I wanted to make sure those were the instructions I should be following because you gave me a vague "download IT"

[vale iron]

Get it from the GitHub per the text file instructions

Nexus mods puts a big delay on uploading exes, so it's a pain to upload there

Hence the text file pointing to GitHub

[solid hawk]

Also grab and use. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2626

[vestal shore]

well, I downloaded and extracted it into it into its own folder

[solid hawk]

Walks you through install and basic usage

When it gets to the part about running buildmod.bat you'll have to do a few times in a row, saying Y to install update. Been a few small patches since the last full download

[vestal shore]

well, this seems to have been the actual issue

yeah, there it is got the mod warning

[heady gazelle]

Heya, Im getting Sequence contains no matching element when running NomNom. Attached is the crash file

I wonder if its a mod that is causing it to commit di

nope, I uninstalled all my mods and it still crashes

[solid hawk]

Official NomNom discord: https://discord.gg/nomnom-762409407488720918

Look for the support and help channel

[shy grove]

Did you mean this for #nms-media or #nms-fauna?

[dense trail]

I released a WIP version of some reshade preset that gives the game a comic or anime style look

All help appreciated! Especially need help to check if the installation works and ofc any feedback. Im also blind to basically all differences of the different variants after working on them so long. So opinions on whats best is also appreciated 😄

[marsh eagle]

Love it, looks like a painting combined with borderlands graphics

[fallow meadow]

I replied in NomNom's discord. Your save crashes NomNom, because it can not handle the 'POLICESHIP' you either edited in, or from modding.

[grave seal]

now what?

[round sinew]

get this https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor

be sure to have java runtime installed

[grave seal]

ok

[round sinew]

check <#bot-spam message> for path to save folder for your platform

pasting %appdata% (without the quotes) into a windows explorer address bar will get you half way there, then you probably going to need to make file explorer show hidden files and folders

[grave seal]

where do i paste it?

[fresh arch]

The Run program

Either search it in Start menu or hit the Win + R key combo

[grave seal]

ok

[fresh arch]

Also should work pasting in Windows Explorer address bar

[grave seal]

i did that and im at the nms one

[round sinew]

i would backup the entire HelloGames.NoMansSky_bs190hzg1sesy\SystemAppData\wgs\ folder

have you grabbed the editor? do you have java installed?

[grave seal]

i dont think i have that file

[grave seal]

yea both of those

[round sinew]

after you did the %appdata% thing - post a screenshot of what you see there

did you switch on view hidden files and folders?

[round sinew]

"HelloGames"

what's in there?

[grave seal]

just nms

then default user than cache

[round sinew]

this should be it. we're looking for .hg files

ignore cache

[grave seal]

how do i show hidden files?

[round sinew]

might be in default user then

these would not be hidden, i dont think

[round sinew]

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/view-hidden-files-and-folders-in-windows-97fbc472-c603-9d90-91d0-1166d1d9f4b5

no this isn't it

it's not Roaming, it's Local

%LocalAppData%\Packages\

go back to AppData

and find a Local folder

[grave seal]

im in local packages

[round sinew]

cool

then continue from there

[grave seal]

found wgs

[round sinew]

awesome. inside, files of the .hg file extension, got eyes on them?

[grave seal]

nope

[round sinew]

check what's inside those subfolders

[grave seal]

t is empty

[round sinew]

i think that's it

[grave seal]

which one?

[round sinew]

go back, copy the whole wgs folder to your desktop

then open the save editor, and point it to that save folder path (not the one you backed up)

File > Open File/Path

[grave seal]

yea

[round sinew]

you should see your save slots under Game slot

[grave seal]

yup

[round sinew]

switch to exosuit tab

right click on a free inv slot, add item

[grave seal]

yup

[round sinew]

File > Save

[grave seal]

done]\

[round sinew]

exit editor

[grave seal]

launche game?

[round sinew]

if you edited the actual save file in the actual game's save folder, then you're good to go and launch

you have the backed up wgs folder just in case

even though save editor itself does backups

[grave seal]

thanks!!

[summer lotus]

Has anybody here used the Companion Pet Unlocker to adopt a freighter drone? I'm trying to find it's seed / egg

[hearty wasp]

seed mostly likely don't matter

more a matter of what model it use

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[hearty wasp]

anyway ask there

[summer lotus]

After some varied testing i've found out this mod breaks multiplayer, causing all the player characters to either not load in or move very slowly. Anybody know why?
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1305?tab=description

The mod's purpose is to (with file one) grant the player a ship and let the player fly it, and (with file two) let the player fly the ship, assuming the player already have it

The mod should not import any files, it should use the sentinel interceptor model

[solid hawk]

Not certain what you're looking at. The mod copies existing vanilla files, so that necessary changes for the mod to work don't affect vanilla NPC police ships, like adding a cockpit. Uses the vanilla model, MODELS\COMMON\SPACECRAFT\POLICE\POLICESHIP.SCENE.MBIN. If this doesn't work for you, may wish to try https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1891. The actual ship will be a Golden Vector, with the skin of a sentinel ship.

As far as the mutiplayer aspect, I'll take a look when time allows, but we (modders) are extremely limited in what we can do with MP, the game code functions for this are neither visible nor accessible. 🙂

#nms-modding message

[round sinew]

thanks @solid hawk , this originated from #nms-questions (afaia, mods shouldn't interfere with mp connections but i guess this one might be an exception? TIL?)

[solid hawk]

Maybe, maybe not. Going to have to look and see. Will probably have to wait for the weekend though. Could also be a combination of mods causing the issue for the op. Hard to say right now. 🙂

[summer lotus]

I did quite thorough testing in the nms-help chat, it really does seem to be this specific mod

With thorough testing i mean this mod only, everything except this mod, etc.

[round sinew]

the ship not having a type in the save, would that affect it perhaps? (ref: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/471868642204712971/1075101903538630776/image.png). maybe not useful, sorry.

[solid hawk]

Like I said, I'll take a look. If it does, there may not be a way of fixing, due to what's allowed by the game. I've have one mod break a facet of MP, where other players names weren't displayed. I was able to fix that, but due to limitations, the fix had it's own side effect of killing off the sound effects of footsteps and the jump pack.

[solid hawk]

It's a possibility, but also worked for a very long time without. That would be one of the limitations I mentioned. Can't add new types. If the exe sees something in the game files it doesn't recognize, it's a quick trip to crashville. lol

[round sinew]

🫡 gotcha

[solid hawk]

Hardcoded that there are X ship types (fighter, shuttle, etc.)

[round sinew]

yeah, makes sense

(well, even if i'm not the one affected here, again, thanks for keeping it in mind, and looking into it when you've got the time)

[solid hawk]

I continue to hold hope that someday we'll get real API access and cut down versions of the real dev tools for the game to circumvent these sorts of limitations, but that's 100% up to HG. 🙂

OK, back IRL work 😂

[summer lotus]

Will other people see the sentinel?

[solid hawk]

Mods in NMS are client side. So, in general, in order to see a visual change, others would need to be running the same mod.

[hearty wasp]

Use gShip instead

[summer lotus]

i did that yea

[hearty wasp]

Likely more an entity thing

[solid hawk]

Yep. I also mentioned gShip above. 🙂

[restive ermine]

Hi all! So I just recently started attempting to use nexus mods and vortex for nms. I was looking in pins and didnt see this listed (though I could easily have missed it), When I have a mod active, really any of them, it causes my ship to bug out and only go like 20 u/s no matter what. Is there something I can do about this?

[lime mesa]

i dont use mods but it could be an issue with a singular mod, my proposal would be to go through and disable each mod one by one and you should eventually find which one was causing the issue. if the problem persists after all mods are disabled then im not sure what to do from there.

when you find the one that was causing the issue remove it and reenable your mods

[restive ermine]

Thats what I did originally but its been happening with any mod that gets enabled :/

[lime mesa]

not sure what to suggest then that was my only idea lol

[restive ermine]

I appreciate it! Ive just been restarting and turning them off if I need to fly somewhere xD

[dusk saffron]

@restive erminedid you double-check to verify that you followed the instructions perfectly about setting up mods for the first time in your directory?

[restive ermine]

I thought I did but I can retry it!

Anybody have the seed for a titan worm? I'm doing my best catching one but no luck

[dusk saffron]

@summer lotusare you sure there is one?

[summer lotus]

I saw a titan worm in the nexus and I have the companion pet unlocker mod, so I was hoping so

[summer lotus]

Hey Gumsk, using your freighter mod do I need to adjust home seeds or just model seeds?

[solid hawk]

Model seed

[summer lotus]

Any way to remove height limit entirely?

[lime mesa]

@summer lotus You mean an actual titan worm, the ones that pop up in groups out of the ground, a high flyer, or the giant sandworms? I have a few., except the one's that pop up in groups, but I can get it

[summer lotus]

Actual titan worms

wait, what's the difference

[lime mesa]

Give me a minute

[summer lotus]

between titan worms and giant sandworms?

[lime mesa]

Titan worms are the ones that pop up in groups like Prarie dogs

Then there's high flyers like the centipede and eye worms

Then there's the one's that dive in and out of the planets

[summer lotus]

Those are all pet-able using the mod?

[lime mesa]

Haven't tried the Titans or the sandworms myself but supposedly yes

There are also 2 sandworm types from the expedition

[summer lotus]

I've tried to adopt the titan worms on "worm-ridden" planets, but they're so damn fast

[lime mesa]

The ones that pop up in groups you can't tame, and seems those are called hungering tendrils, I got the names mixed up. Got a sand worm here I'll try to catch. I have the other worms if you wanted one of them

Got im

@summer lotus got it. Give me a sec to get the seed

[summer lotus]

that's incredible, tysm man

whats he look like?

[lime mesa]

No problem. I'll get a pic. Turns out you can ride these like the others

@summer lotus Ok, a pic is going to be rough, this thing is huge. Oh man I hate this thing when it starts swirling around you...here's the seed...0xD08B99F55ECB049A

And if you want one you can ride, or be able to see anything other than the worm...0x4CE52B371BB24426

I'd say I'd give you an egg if it didn't work but I can't find the hit box to pic it up

[solid hawk]

In game file terms, called sandwormmini. I didn't add to the mod because they're immobile, rooted to the ground. Bad pet. 🙂

[lime mesa]

@solid hawk ahh, so your the one to talk to...Any chance on getting those tentacles added? I can catch them but they don't show up when summoned. I need a per Cthulu.

And this is a big mf'n egg if anyone wants omelets

would a mod that allowed resized snapping be possible?

[iron kernel]

noob here, how to use reshade?

[vale iron]

Sorry, don't know anything about reshade. It's not really a mod, and even less related to modding than other 3rd party apps. Someone else might know something later, though.

[iron kernel]

thanks for the reply!

[hearty wasp]

no

[solid hawk]

Drastically reducing the scaling range would fix it....scale from 0.95 to 1.05. Lol

[tired ether]

Anyone using DUD'S SKY mod ?

I need advice about how to fight pirates with this mod. It seems that braking has been made way slower and I can't turn fast enough to fight pirates. They are always in my back.

[solid hawk]

@steel crypt. See above by T-34. 🙂

[solid hawk]

If you haven't realized, the person I pinged is Mr. Dude. Lol. He's been busy lately, so may take a day or two to respond. Maybe the brake values could do with a little adjusting, given your experience.

[tired ether]

No problem 🙂 I also posted a comment on the nexus mod page in case he gives a visit

I like challenging mods but honestly if someone is able to defeat even a single pirate with the stock starship with this mod on I would like to see it 😆

what am i supposed to be looking for in the save editor

[round sinew]

you mentioned nanites

[lunar pilot]

i turn practically everything on

tho

whats the default shield

?

[round sinew]

100

[lunar pilot]

that was set to 1 trillion 💀

changing that value fixed it

[lavish minnow]

Hey i need some help, so im trying to install 2 i feel like relatively inobtrusive mods but like whenever i try to boot the game with them activated just nothing happens, steam says the game is running but no visuals show at all but if i uninstall the 2 mods it boots fine

and I truly tried to look up this issue but i couldnt find anything and well im completely lost

I am useing Nexus mod manager as well

[vale iron]

Need to know what the mods are

[lavish minnow]

Natural steering 1.4 and exocraft better cam

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1694?tab=description

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1971?tab=description

there was a third im interested in but like this started and i havent even tried doing another yet

and to explain it looks like the game boots but like no visuals at all, i see it taking resources and both steam and nexus say its running

[vale iron]

Exocraft Better Cam is your problem

It's way out of date

[lavish minnow]

is there another mod option cause like the camera sucks

[vale iron]

Natural Steering looks updated for Waypoint

[lavish minnow]

how i have to blindly go down hills cause i cant look fown

[vale iron]

I make gCam, but I don't remember if I have any exocraft changes in there

[lavish minnow]

uninstalling the cam one to for now but its like terrible especially when you get mountainous planets and you can barely look down so your just blindly racing down and getting the big exocraft stuck in a cave is the worst

[vale iron]

I'll look

[lavish minnow]

my thanks I tried looking but im not really good at mod digging

ill see if removing that fixes things at least

yup boots perfectly X.x

[vale iron]

Yeah, looks like I have exocraft vertical rotation increased in gCam

[lavish minnow]

got a link for it?

[vale iron]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1436

[lavish minnow]

thank you

[vale iron]

It probably needs a complete rewrite to be honest. I've left it as is for a long time

but it works

[lavish minnow]

well if it helps with this one thing ill be super happy

im booting to take a picture of my sorta issue :p

[vale iron]

If you want a bunch of mod ideas, here are all mine and Lo2k's mods. Not sure if anyone else has mod status pages

awesome im not one for adding to much extra stuff but im all over quality of life

https://i.gyazo.com/53cb791689bc1008b2fbcf9ee377e79e.jpg

cause thats as far as i can look down normally XD makes these giant hills super daunting

ill try out your camera mod now

[vale iron]

Ok, let me know if it needs changes

[lavish minnow]

will do

takes a while for my game to boot heh

[vale iron]

Oh, I forgot to mention, you need to install the mod manually, because it comes as all versions in one zip file

Mod managers don't know how to handle that and put all of them in

[lavish minnow]

..... it seems to have handeled it sssooo we will just see

https://i.gyazo.com/957d30b938c9975f8cf1f37f30fc6d27.jpg

yup works golden

[vale iron]

Only the last loaded mod for that file will work, which I think will be offset turbo

[lavish minnow]

dunno what to say it works

[vale iron]

Yeah, just saying if you want to choose the version, you have to do it manually. If you look at your MODS folder, it will show several gCam files in it, I believe

[lavish minnow]

i can look straight down in my exocraft

https://i.gyazo.com/9018787d6160dceb0326f9c754c23a37.png

like thats what my mod folder says unless you mean the literal folder

[vale iron]

the literal folder

[lavish minnow]

https://i.gyazo.com/06e3e92391868617a39232743263d616.png

i see a couple gcam mods

[vale iron]

Yeah, so when you have multiple modifying the same file, the last loaded one wins, which is Offset Turbo in this case. If you wanted a centered cam or non-turbo, you would have to delete the others

[lavish minnow]

whats centered cam or non turbo? sorry i cant really see an explination on the differences unless im looking in the wrong place

[vale iron]

Centered puts the camera directly behind the character. Offset puts it to the side, like normal NMS. Turbo is how fast the photo mode camera moves

[lavish minnow]

aah well I think luckily this looks alright for me and doesnt seem to be conflicting, ill keep it in mind if im looking to add more mods though thank you

[vale iron]

No problem

[vale iron]

@azure marsh I'm not seeing that Doom Eternal ship anywhere

[azure marsh]

yeah its only really in the background of a level so idk

i just think it looks cool lol

immediately thought of

[steel crypt]

Turn braking ("braking") was modded to not help turning. Instead it slows the turning. The idea being that the ship should have more control with normal thrusters and less with reverse thrusters.
I have heavily tested the AI difficulty mod for balance. A starter ship (without upgrades) can defeat any AI ship , but it will NOT be easy. You need skills and a decent amount of shield fuel. Once you fully upgrade a ship, you will be very slightly stronger than the toughest AI ship.
If you don't have a decent amount of practice and have a starter ship, the mod will make you it's bitch.

[tired ether]

Is it intended to be played with a gamepad or something ? I'm playing with keyboard and mouse and I can't have enemy ship in sight whatever I do.

[red spoke]

soooo did u find it? @lime mesa lol

[lime mesa]

yeah I got it

@timid burrow how would I change sc slots?

[red spoke]

again it being seed based i personally wouldnt dare

[lime mesa]

thats fair

[round sinew]

afaik, this has to be done via raw json

first SC slot, grid position 4,0

[timid burrow]

Change as in replace the slot position?

Via json editing, as mentioned by friend-entity bk.

GUI for making edits with SC slots is a feature of NomNom save editor.

[red spoke]

ok save editor wizards where and how do i find custom difficulty sliders

i just wanna doublecheck my settings

not even edit em

[night adder]

@red spoke DifficultyState in raw JSON

[noble holly]

hey im new to adding mods how would i go about doing so

[vale iron]

From the pins:
#nms-modding message

[ocean turret]

So I asked this in the wrong channel, so I'ma ask here lol

Howdy y'all, If you don't mind my asking, I have a bunch of folk who are playing for the first time, And some folk who have played a bit, What are some mods you all would recommend both to enhance the experience and for added life to the game?

[hearty wasp]

sean

or if you're playing as a collective, DPPBFOYA

[steel crypt]

I use KBM. I can kill any AI ship with the starter ship and no upgrades. This is with the difficulty settings in the menu set on "hard". I have to use shield fuel during the fight with the starter ship. I'm not sure what you're doing that is making it so that you can't target them. Don't use the reverse brakes. They will slow turning if you are using the flight mod.

TLDR: gIT gOoD 😉

[hearty wasp]

or just put on one of the dozen other flight mods out there if you're so inclined

the choices are always there if you need an "easy mode"

[steel crypt]

I understand it will be harder for some people compared to others, but I've tested the hell out of it.
Also I'm fantastic pilot.

....and lover

[night adder]

Two truths and a lie? @steel crypt 😉

[tired ether]

Yes I was using shield fuel, a lot, but no matter what I tried it was a nightmare to have them in sight, and trust me I tried !

I was forced to remove the mod but I would have loved keeping it. The vanilla AI is ridiculously easy even with the hardest settings

If you happen to retest it in the future do you mind recording a video ? I would appreciate to see how you do.

[ocean turret]

Hey, If anyone is able to help, My Mods Dont seem to be loading, Like, Load in the game and its not giving me the "Warning, Mods Enabled" Screen

[solid hawk]

...and lover of pilots

[solid hawk]

Most likely, check in PCBANKS for DISABLEMODS.TXT, delete or rename it. 2nd most likely, mod .pak go into PCBANKS\MODS, not GAMEDATA\MODS. Hope it helps.

[ocean turret]

No i just learned you cant mod it if your on xbox gamepass, that was the issue

I did everything right, just for whatever reason that shit is dumb and went "We dont feel like letting you mod them anymore"

[vale iron]

Unless that's a really recent change, that's not true. People mod on gamepass PC

[ocean turret]

Unless Im EXTEREMLY dumb, You cant verify game files, change where the game downloads to, and you cant mod the game, If you are able to prove me wrong or help me cause I am dumb (Very common occurrence) Id be greatly appreciative

[ocean turret]

Redownloaded the game multiple times, The Disablemods.txt was never there, I added the MODS Folder, Added one mod that was just updated, Nothing, doesn't even act like its modded, No "Warning, Mods Loaded" screen or anything

[ripe patrol]

Hey guys! I wanna make a mod. How or where do I even get started??

https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/NoMansSky:2.4.0 good info here

[vale iron]

I normally avoid going to this site, but the Nexus mods version is hidden. I believe this method still works, if it's even needed:
https://allmods.net/no-mans-sky-mods/other/anmsmemspc-andys-nms-mod-enabler-for-the-microsoft-store-edition-xbox-gamepass-pc/

I didn't think that was necessary anymore, but maybe it is

[ocean turret]

I would be willing to do this if I wasn't trying to get Non tech savy friends into the game, but I feel as though they wouldnt be willing 😅

[vale iron]

That's fair. I know it's possible, I just don't know what the solution is. It's going on sale on steam in the next few days probably, if you're trying to get new people in

[ocean turret]

Very good to know, Thank you

Sadly I just bought my copy so Im sol lol

[mighty valley]

Is there a good mod out there that will map things on planets? Like, record the locations of portals, outposts, etc without having to build a base near it?

[vale iron]

No

[vale iron]

@kindred stone ArghWater is always great and doesn't really need updating. Lo2k's stuff is great and is quickly updated on new releases. My own stuff is quickly updated, but I won't comment on quality of my own stuff. Jasondude's stuff is really good. I'm missing a lot of things, though, just giving you a quick sample.

I'll comment on the quality of your stuff. It is excellent

[slate veldt]

@vale iron Do you know if there's a mod that makes the base light parts light up as much as the Candleabra Bloom or similar?

[rapid sandal]

You can try NMSMB, it has built-in support to detect the gamepass version on the PC and install mods for it.
I have gamepass on my PC and can build and install mods for it ... I may have had to move the NMS folder to a non-protected location using the gamepass app. Start Apps -> Xbox app, goto NMS app, click the "..." button to the right of the Play button and select Manage, goto Files - Change Drive.

[rapid sandal]

Do you have the scripts for the mods or just the pak's ? If just have the pak's, did you check to see if they include the scripts (they are often included) ?

[glass gate]

By scripts do you mean the Lua files?

[rapid sandal]

Yes, either lua scripts that amumss uses, or c# scripts that nmsmb uses.

[glass gate]

I have the scripts then

[rapid sandal]

If you have the lua scripts then just put them all in the appropriate amumss folder and run amumss, it will merge them all and create a single pak.

[glass gate]

alright

[azure marsh]

Anyone know what the giant worms are referred to as in the files? I want to see if I can save edit one as a pet

Some guy has one and claims he used the mod to tame it but it doesn't seem to work very well

[fresh arch]

Just give yourself the egg reward from expedition and hatch that?

[azure marsh]

giant worm

not that pathetic tiny thing

[tender gale]

is there a mod to drive my freighter around

[azure marsh]

Nop

mods here can't really do that much

[tender gale]

how about freighter to freighter fights?

[azure marsh]

can be done already, although a bit tedious

[tender gale]

i see

combat in nms feels underwhelming like go raid a freighter shoot some pirates raid pillars but thats it

i need more

is there anything you can recommend?

[hearty wasp]

#nms-modding message

unless you like a taxidermy as a pet

[azure marsh]

I was talking about the giant non-rooted ones, but I'll see if those work as pets

because im on the edge of splitting my own skull open

[hearty wasp]

those should just be supersized flying snakes

[azure marsh]

good

problem

this doesn't work

so I have to go JSON hunting again

[hearty wasp]

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[hearty wasp]

ask there

has people specialized in save editing

[azure marsh]

Let's just do this

although the descriptors probably need to change.. fuck

nevermind

im just going to go hurt myself in frustration

[hearty wasp]

they have an nmsc channel there too

maybe someone has a pet file that suits you

[azure marsh]

Oh yeah I forgot about CMP files!

dont think this is the correct file type..

@night adder No way I'm getting your attention there that deep in that discord, how do I use this with goatfungus' save editor?

im trying basically everything

[night adder]

@azure marsh Not actually a pet I made lol, but that's the file format for NMSC pet exports

[azure marsh]

I know

I'm trying to import it

it had your name so I assumed you might know how it works

[vale iron]

Just use the sandworm pet from the expedition and change the scale

[azure marsh]

I don't particularly want to do that, especially since I've used up my claim on one

[vale iron]

To get a functional one with riding and egg laying, even with raw JSON editing, that's what you're going to end up getting in the end anyway

[azure marsh]

But I don't want it to look like the expedition reward.

[vale iron]

You can change some of the descriptors to get slightly different head and such

[azure marsh]

I think goatfungus' might be completely fucked tbh since I put every one of the descriptors on the post into a pet and nothing changed

[night adder]

@azure marsh Sandworms are not pets, and will not function properly. When HG set up the Expedition reward, they added all sandworm model parts to the procgen pool for FlyingSnakes - that's what you need to use. You can set their scale value so theyre the same size as sandworms

[azure marsh]

Someone else has apparently managed to do that with the pet unlocker mod

They claim to not know what goatfungus' save editor, etc, is

[night adder]

They didnt tame an actual sandworm, it's a flying snake

[azure marsh]

so I'm not sure who to believe anymore

It definitely doesn't behave like either

Now, how do I make this into a flying snake then? That's equally as impossible since nothing ever changes

[night adder]

Think about it for a second - how would you get a sandworm to stand still long enough to feed + interact so you could tame it?

[azure marsh]

he said there's a specific range where, if you have it on tap, you can get both off with some spam

I got one, but it was very difficult to get the other

[night adder]

They have zero collision or interaction with physical objects, just an animation of terrain splash for when the exit/enter ground each leap

[azure marsh]

I'm not sure why it played the food dropping sound then

ANyway

whatever

i believe you

[azure marsh]

_ _

I'm switching stuff around and my pets aren't changing

ok

ill

go to bed

[night adder]

@azure marsh Gimme a few minutes, I'm just on my phone so I dont have access to my files, gotta cobble this together lol

[azure marsh]

Much, much simpler question, probably.

How do I refresh my ability to claim the expedition sandworm egg?

[sleek sapphire]

I got a titan worm egg if ur looking for one, legit titan worm the huge ones and it can lay own eggs

[azure marsh]

I'll take it

DM me your coords? friend codes dont work for me

[sleek sapphire]

Sure gonna give someone egg in bit dm code il throw right after

Ye I will when I’m ready

[azure marsh]

I'll just come to system it's easier

[night adder]

@azure marsh Refreshing that requires digging through lists of stuff iirc. Have you ever done raw JSON editing?

[azure marsh]

A few times, but ill try whatever ralf has first

[vale iron]

If you need it, it's in PlayerStateData\RedeemedSeasonRewards

[sleek sapphire]

It’s the millipede one you see normally

[azure marsh]

Ah the ground busters

[sleek sapphire]

Got a few types as the smaller ones too, expedition, and og abyssal horror

[azure marsh]

I guess I'll take a look in-game?

[sleek sapphire]

Can drop em all and take ur pick with restore if you want

[azure marsh]

I mean, you can summon em too right?

Anyway, DM me coords, I assume euclid?

[sleek sapphire]

Ye

Il be back on shortly

I'm glad I finally have the Teleport Receiever, but is there a mod that automatically moves loot to ship storage if there is an existing stack of that item already in ship?

[hearty wasp]

can't

[ruby torrent]

Does anyone have a mod pack for Atlas Rises?

[regal vortex]

Mod to make it infinite hyper drive range od jump range

Or

[night adder]

@regal vortex Severely doubt you'll find someone who cares to make that because a) save editing can easily accomplish it, and b) no one who's been around the block wants to target systems for warp >10k LY away on a regular basis.

Just an fyi, mods will probably break during an update so be patient

I need a little help with nexus mods. I have an account and just downloaded the better planet generation, but I don't know how to activate it or if's there a area where I can deactivate them for normal nms. Any tips?

[hearty wasp]

you do not

read game master's message above

[quasi blade]

@hearty wasp I don't want to use mods right away, but I have no idea what I'm doing and how to navigate nexus for optimal use. Only modding experiences I have had beforehand is CurseForge for minecraft, and SMM (Satisfactory mod manager, for...y'know, satisfactory).

Both of these had there own way of needing the original game installed for use and SMM had a switch to turn mods off.

[hearty wasp]

if you just wanna know how to install basic mods then read this https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Mods#Installing_Mods

not useful to explain the advanced stuff to you because next to no mods work rn and wouldn't help to know if you use the tools correctly

[quasi blade]

Thanks for the info. While I probably don't have the time to look into it fully now, It will definitely be something useful for later understanding.

[hearty wasp]

that's the basics and you should read that to simply install any mod

[hearty wasp]

what variants

[ripe leaf]

well its not a new ship type like the solar ships were, its just its own thing

which is a bit of a shame, especially how cool it is

[hearty wasp]

I thought you were talking about Consumerism

[ripe leaf]

lmao no, its just the best confimation so far of how the new ship can be found

[green prairie]

the question is

is that ship even good?

because golden vector is dogshit

if it's not good, that's a shame

[vale iron]

The gV you can change the seed on to make it good. I assume the same here

[night adder]

@vale iron I'm not so sure, someone tried to use a ship export with a different seed and autocrashed until they set it to 0x1

[solid hawk]

I personally find it odd that there's no DESCRIPTOR file for it, like gv, another standalone fighter with its' own SCENE

[marsh eagle]

Why do people call it fighter ? It is it's own ship type. And yes no descriptor so less work for me

[night adder]

@marsh eagle Because I was under the impression it uses Fighter bonus rolls

[hearty wasp]

should be

stated as fighter in the entity

[open sail]

hi, (this text is being translated by the translator, so please remove any context errors). I'm a real new player of the game, but I've been following it for a few years, and I managed to play the game through xbox game pass and I would like to buy it on steam, is it possible to transfer my progress to steam literally?

[marsh eagle]

Yes there is a way #nms-modding message

[open sail]

but is it 100% guaranteed?

[night adder]

@marsh eagle Yep, Fighter, with the trash stats we've all come to know and love from the GV lol.

[marsh eagle]

Ah it says Class Fighter there even. Ok interesting

[tired ether]

Do you know if Lo2k is on this discord ?

[vale iron]

I don't believe so. What did you need?

[tired ether]

I just wanted to give him a warm thank you for all his work

And wish him good luck to update the 91 mods which are probably broken by the new update

[vale iron]

I'll pass along the message 🙂

[tired ether]

Thanks 🙂

And thanks to all the modders for your dedication to update everything at every game update. Such a commitment for little to no gratitude sometime.

[vale iron]

Thank you very much!

[tired ether]

Is there a risk tu run the game with an obsolete mod ? At worst the mod won't work but nothing more right ?

[vale iron]

Worst and most likely case is the game crashes

What mod?

[tired ether]

Not a mod in particular. I just wonder if I can safely continue my savegame or if I should disable everything / wait for the updates

[solid hawk]

Disable and wait is safest

[vale iron]

I typically disable and play the expedition while I wait

[tired ether]

I wish there was a "do not update until I ask" button in steam 😅

[solid hawk]

The game files have properties in them. The exe also has these properties. The issue with most older mods is that in a new update there may be added, removed, or name changed properties and an older mod may be missing these differences. If the exe sees something it doesn't recognize, CTD. 🙂

remember you can Get the new Head on your Gek (or Vykeen, or Korvax, or Traveller) with the new Getting Head update https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/853

[fresh arch]

What is that character, Ben Smollo?

[fallow meadow]

Yes, your save(s) can be converted from Game Pass to Steam. Normally NomNom (Save Editor) would be able to do this, but functionality appears to have broken. The pinned post linked has details for an alternative way. If you run into any issues, or need further assistance feel free to @ me in this channel.

There might be a way to make it work, but it would be really difficult

[tired ether]

I disabled a mod but it still affects the game. I checked the PCBANKS\MODS folder after disabling the mod in Vortex and the .pak file is no longer in the mods directory. Is there anything else to do to disable a mod ?

The mod is https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2548

Also the voices are still in French while I turned the game in english

[hearty wasp]

don't see anything about the french in that mod's description

try restarting your game a few times to flush the system

or verify game integrity

Check both the in-game settings, where language selection has been newly added with this update, and the Steam settings for NMS (Steam Desktop Client > Library > NMS > Properties > Language)

[tired ether]

I fixed it by changing the language in game from default to English, but the worrying part is that a mod was still in effect while removed 😕

[fallow meadow]

I would suggest removing mods manually and not through Vortex.

[tired ether]

I double checked the PCBANKS\MODS folder and it was removed as well

So weird

[fallow meadow]

That is indeed weird, as that ensures the mod is no longer used. You verified you got the right folder too? There is this other MODS folder often confused to be where mods go

The imposter is the one that goes alongside PCBANKS, the real is inside

[tired ether]

I guess yes. It's GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\MODS isn't it ? I see my .pak files there

It also happened with Exosolar's Stealth Wires by the way

Mod was disabled, but the wire were still invisible

[fallow meadow]

Make sure to remove the .pak files from the PCBANKS\MODS

[tired ether]

Yes I did 🙂

No more .pak file but mods still in effect

[fallow meadow]

Vortex is not doing a good job if the paks remain there after disabling

[fallow meadow]

Really weird, unless it has affected your saves or something somehow

[tired ether]

Indeed 😵‍💫

[fallow meadow]

What is the language mod link?

[tired ether]

It's not a language mod it's Silent Annoying Sounds : https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2548

It makes all the annoying exosuit alerts silent

[fallow meadow]

And that is somehow still the case ... hmmm, let me see what that mod does

[tired ether]

It comes with a customizer, very handy

You can pick up which sound you want to make silent and it creates a .pak file

Next you put in the mods folder and that's it

But even removed it is still in effect

[fallow meadow]

And you did the verify as well?

[tired ether]

Verify files integrity ?

[fallow meadow]

yes?

I would suggest to re-install NMS. It may not detect that files have changed and possibly were not re-installed/overwritten with original files.

[tired ether]

What do you mean by "not detect that files have changed". Mods change original files ?

[solid hawk]

With invis wires, shouldn't still be in effect once the .pak is removed from MODS. Only makes changes to MAT files. Maybe some weird caching thing.

[tired ether]

If my memory serves me well thay all turned visible once I added a new wire

[solid hawk]

Mods contain a complete copy of the files they are making changes to, which supercedes the vanilla versions of those files.

When the mod .pak is removed, game will use vanilla version again

[fallow meadow]

Exactly, but it's odd to me how after removal the effects are still present

[hearty wasp]

^

[tired ether]

I will try to reproduce it

[solid hawk]

Yep, never seen or heard of that before. . Unless there's a second copy of the mod in MODS, maybe in a combined or patch .pak

[fallow meadow]

Also worth to mention perhaps, supersized crops when planted in trays. After removal of mods still present as an issue apparently.

(discussion from the #nms-questions channel)

[solid hawk]

Then again, I have seen some weirdness caused by Vortex. For about a year, I turned it off for all my mods, got tired of trying to troubleshoot something I have zero insight into what it's doing. Lol

[fallow meadow]

I am of no use for that matter. I hardly ever use mods (thusfar), although I should give some of them a try some day

[hearty wasp]

nah happens to me when I need to fix Eucli-ea from time to time

with more complex file linking the game just assume the previous linkage to still be present even after you remove the mod

usually just crashes the game on load tho

[fallow meadow]

Ok, so this is Vortex' doing?

[hearty wasp]

it's the game's

I use modding station

[fallow meadow]

Ah ok, so even with mods it does some weird caching?

I have noticed some crazy things I tried to stick around .... lol

[hearty wasp]

that's what I perceived from my experience, at least

[fallow meadow]

Some so bad, it requires to restart the system even and clean out memory

[hearty wasp]

usually only happens when I outright yeet a pak tho

[fallow meadow]

(been painting with objects in my game before, thousands of them trailing my mouse, thought I ruined my save)

[tired ether]

That's some serious cause for concern 😅 if I knew I would have never downloaded mods !

[solid hawk]

I would suggest starting with either exos or duds palette mods. Increases visual variety without affecting gameplay at all. Strictly eye candy

[hearty wasp]

it's not a frequent thing tho
