[sonic yoke]

But I can't controll that.

[gloomy pier]

seed for what? because cockpit only ships only work with exotics and explorers

[marsh eagle]

We can control that with help of the ship customizer. What colors do you want and I generate the seed

[hearty wasp]

yeah you cannot get any weird ships with just a seed

that's not how it works

[sonic yoke]

What about creatures?

[hearty wasp]

not with just a seed either

[gloomy pier]

that vector you found that was only the cockpit most likely lacked any texture on the back of it. the same thing will happen with creatures and pretty much everything else thats melted together

[hearty wasp]

golden vector actually does have separate wings engines and cockpit

so it's not impossible

[sonic yoke]

I could get like a worm that I like but the seed again.

[marsh eagle]

You can create impossible creatures because for creatures the part list overrides the seed

[hearty wasp]

^

but yeah not with only the seed

[gloomy pier]

ah. I thought only exotics and explorers didnt get completely glued together

[hearty wasp]

so you'd need to edit the save json more than just the seed

[hearty wasp]

nah all base classes have separate scenes for parts

cos they don't need to be vertex bound for animation

[sonic yoke]

But how?

[hearty wasp]

with the part list

like he said

do you wanna know how to edit the part list or do you simply want someone to give you a weird creature tho

'd save people time from explaining if it's the latter

[sonic yoke]

I wanna get a weird creature but I'm on ps5.

[hearty wasp]

then you prolly need someone to trade you an egg

[sonic yoke]

Ok nice.

Can you get impossible creatures?

[hearty wasp]

define impossible

[sonic yoke]

Worm strider head.

[hearty wasp]

like 2 parts from 2 different creatures?

don't think so

[marsh eagle]

You can only mix parts from the same creature species

ALl other parts will be invisible

[sonic yoke]

I'm a little sad because I won't get exactly the creature I want.

[marsh eagle]

BUT custom creature part lists won't sync in multiplayer. For MP they use a seperatecreature GUID code.

And noone knows how that gets created not even me. Although I will figure it out in some weeks hopefully

[sonic yoke]

I'll stay with human pets sorry.

I mean your question could stay

Im just giving you directions to the author

Maybe someone here uses their mods and can provide the feedback / help you are looking for

[fresh arch]

Added a couple more text fixes - survey mission labels should not stack anymore, Sentinel Weapon Shards mention Boltcaster. https://github.com/vaki-nakamura/nms-misctextfixes

[fresh arch]

@vale iron Just wanted to say thank you

I repurposed some code from one of your mods over at the LUA repository on github

To rewrite the mod for text fixes

Much better than having to write SKW and VCT for each goddamned property

[waxen cedar]

still working all fine

[hearty wasp]

ngl variables not being in tables still pains me

which is fucked cos sometimes I don't even use a loop for the tables

or selecting entries by index

it's just complete force of habit

[solid hawk]

What's the original script?

[cerulean pawn]

just curious, does modding work on steam deck? or do you have to jump through a bunch of holes to get it to work?

[fresh arch]

Yes it works, the same way as on regular PC

You just copy files over to one folder

[cerulean pawn]

ah okay, haven't done modding on pc, i've only got a steam deck lol, that's why i was wondering

[fresh arch]

I prepare all the files, check for conflicts on my stationary PC, then copy the mods onto a SD card, put that into SD, copy files from it to game directory

[cerulean pawn]

ah okay, well i don't really have a stationary pc to do that with, so i'll just have to hope it works lmao

[fresh arch]

https://github.com/MetaIdea/nms-amumss-lua-mod-script-collection/blob/main/Gumsk/GBlack Market/GBlack Market Best X.lua

[fresh arch]

You can download the mods from Nexus Mods and put them in game directory just from Steam Deck

Its a bit pain in the ass given the controls but it's doable

You prolly could run stuff like AMUMSS to compile your own mods but that would not be the optimal way

[vale iron]

Ahh, that's the old version of the script. It's been rewritten. Glad you saw the old one

[fresh arch]

Lol what is that supposed to mean? Shouldn't the new version be better?

[vale iron]

It doesn't use any of that logic, so you wouldn't have seen it to use in your own script

[fresh arch]

lyravega

Just seeing this I know I won't be able to understand shit

[vale iron]

It's really simple

[fresh arch]

Yeah wtf

[vale iron]

But I share your initial inclination 🙂

[fresh arch]

Last time I saw lyra's work I was like "fuck me a whole framework just for some moding script"

Ok that is what I wanted to get rid of

Having to copy-paste SKW and VCT for every text fix I wanna make

Now I just yeet the property ID and the new text string into a list

And have the funciton iterate through them all

[solid hawk]

Thanks

[fresh arch]

Also I tried to incorporate some error messages since of course I made mistakes

But I got rid of them for clarity's sake

[vale iron]

hah, nice

[solid hawk]

You extrapolated and extended the loop functionality very nicely. About a dozen of us use loops like that to add lua sections.

Hard to say who did it first....lMonk maybe

[fresh arch]

More like I stole the code and mashed my head against the keyboard till it started doing what I want lmao

[solid hawk]

haha

Been there

[vale iron]

exactly what I did to get there

[solid hawk]

Looking forward to seeing the whole script, when you publish. 🙂

[fresh arch]

Ill try to push it to github today

Just to have it in a safe place

Lo2k are the king / queen of QoL improvements like that

[lime mesa]

is all that stuff allowed too? those seem like really great options. the game is already enough of a time sink lol

[vale iron]

Everything is allowed. HG doesn't care what you do as long as you don't screw with other players

[lime mesa]

that's great. yesterday someone just put a glitched item in my inventory. not sure how that works.

[vale iron]

Item transfers aren't gated in any way, unfortunately

people can gift items all the time, and sometimes they are glitched items

[lime mesa]

thats annoying, but I guess it could be worse

[vale iron]

They really need to implement a permission system of some kind for transfers

[lime mesa]

yeah I thought there'd be a x wants to trade with you pop up thing you see literally everywhere else

[dusk saffron]

@lime mesasplit your stacks so all your slots are full, no one can transfer anything then

do I need a mod manager to install mods and is there a tool to check compatibility?

[hearty wasp]

do this to install basic mods
https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Mods#Installing_Mods

both NMSMB and AMUMSS can check for mod conflicts and merge mods using their own required script files

both are searchable in Nexus Mods by name

[fresh arch]

You don't really need a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 or something

[nimble brook]

<SPECIAL><IMG>INVCARGO<> Container 0 </>

why does this work like Contai and not Container 0

[fresh arch]

Im afraid there is a character limit

And the tags you type in do count towards that limit

[nimble brook]

Oh, that's bad

[fresh arch]

Consider that devs never intended players to use those tags

[nimble brook]

ok

i made a 'cont 0' name

[bold pewter]

it look like this now

[oblique frigate]

i need help

[bold pewter]

me too

[green prairie]

did you change the seed of the ship or just installed the mod?

because you need to change the seed of the golden vector or use the ship summoner mod to summon it

[bold pewter]

i used this method

i used the emote thingy method

[hybrid coral]

You save edit it.

https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor

but

let me show

what do i change here

Adjust the home/model seed on the left

[oblique frigate]

im talking about base builds on frieghters

what files?

[oblique frigate]

this stuff

how

[dire garden]

I have no god damn idea

but do you know how to locate 3d models in the files?

[hearty wasp]

there's an NMSC channel in the creative hub discord, asking there will surely provide a better opportunity for a proper response

[oblique frigate]

i asked a while ago

still waiting for someone to respond

[hearty wasp]

ah

NMSC is not really a much discussed tool in here

hopefully a response emerges soon

[oblique frigate]

i have this map file

but how do i convert it

to BSE

[hearty wasp]

fb3 is NMSSE's format isn't it

I forgor

[oblique frigate]

its BSE

[hearty wasp]

it'd be better to find the tool that uses that file format then

[green prairie]

fb3 is for goatfungus

but I think it also works with the companion app

or not, looks like it doesn't

[oblique frigate]

i have the bse

but how do i import this

[green prairie]

drag the file and drop on the companion

the base tab

then you click on the overwrite button on it

you must not be inside your freighter base for it to work

[oblique frigate]

ima tryt hat

[vital comet]

I'm not feeling hopeful on this, I searched around and found nothing, so decided to at least ask. Is there any kind of shared storage mod?

[green prairie]

if you mean between players, not as far I know

[vital comet]

Between different saves for the same player, so can transfer stuff between saves.

[green prairie]

nope either, you can't even see your own base in different saves

so there would be no way to even access the storage

[vital comet]

Wouldn't need to see the bases, just construct a new storage container type that works like the current ones. But with the added benefit that any save that creates one of the new storage containers, would all see the same inventory

But anyways, the answer was no, lol. Thanks for the answer

[hearty wasp]

can't

[misty prawn]

Is there a mod that gives special inventory space for passes?

[vale iron]

No there's not

[supple idol]

I just leave it in the bottom right of my inventory and forget about it

[tidal portal]

NMSSE doesnt want to boot again..

wait no its been that way

nvm

*i been using nomnomers

[barren pine]

So I heard mods can be installed and still can play multiplayer with friends that don't have them, is that true?

[fresh arch]

#nms-modding message

[barren pine]

What's the chance of somehow corrupting a save when you use mods on it?

[vale iron]

Make a backup to be safe, but chances are extremely slim

Very few mods do anything that affects the save file directly

[barren pine]

Thanks, and despite looking at the link friendlyfire shared, I still can't help but wonder with these mods. How does inventory slot capacity mods work in multiplayer?

[vale iron]

Your inventory capacity is increased while others' are not

[barren pine]

yeah now that you say it, it's pretty obvious

I have 3 specific questions

1. Is there a limit to how many mods I can have at once assuming there are no conflicts?

2. Are there any performance improving mods that would help me run at higher graphical settings?

3. Do you have any visual or QoL mods you can suggest? I don't wanna make the game easier or harder just more interesting

[vale iron]

1. No. 2. Yes, but I can't remember names right now. 3. Lo2k is most often referenced for qol mods; just search lo2k and you'll get his mod status page

[barren pine]

oh yes thank you

[vale iron]

Self plug, I have a mod status page as well if you feel like looking through it:
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1541/

[barren pine]

yeah will do for sure

so a mod status page is just a mod page showing if the other mods from that person work

interesting lmao never thought that was a thing

[vale iron]

I got the idea from lo2k, seemed helpful

[barren pine]

oh so it's not like a meta thing to do? thats cool

[vale iron]

If you plan on running many mods, you're going to need to learn to use AMUMSS for merging mods, but you can do that later when conflicts start arising

[barren pine]

yeah I'll remember that

How can I check if mods are conflicting?

[vale iron]

You can either read the mod pages to see what files they modify or you could use AMUMSS to conflict check

[barren pine]

guess I'll use that from the start before doing anything yet

[lime mesa]

I've created a new mod for everyone who doesn't like the blobs. I call it the Blob Bioweapon. Install it and it removes all blobs from the game entirely. I've never posted one before, but I'll try adding it to Nexus Mods. Any blobs that you ever saw before will be rendered "Extinct."

I used the NMS Mod Builder, which is just an amazing tool, I am really impressed at how complete it is

[bold pewter]

Can someone help me use the better rewards mod i dont know how to use it.It says i have to use lua but i cant find a video on it.

[bold pewter]

huh

[lime mesa]

Might point you in the right direction

[magic lava]

#nms-modding message

[lime mesa]

If you open up a command prompt first and then put in the full path to that BAT file, you will get an error message when trying to execute it. Right now you’re executing it and it’s just closing without showing you the error message

It looks like singular gave you a good tip there as well

From my own searching earlier there seems to be some decent documentation around that tool, you just need to search

[bold pewter]

i opened it and now this

[lime mesa]

Open up the bat file in a notepad editor

Look for file references.

Are they there?

[bold pewter]

wuts that

u mean this?

[lime mesa]

Yeah, so the system is telling you it’s trying to find some thing that It can’t find. there are probably path references in that document to files that it can’t find.

I don’t know anything about this tool so I’m just telling you generic stuff

[hearty wasp]

there should be a file named Test_AMUMSS_install in the same directory, run it

[bold pewter]

this popped up

[hearty wasp]

decompress the zip/7z/rar

[bold pewter]

Could it be bcs i dowloaded this old version

[hearty wasp]

have you decompressed the 7z

[bold pewter]

yes

[hearty wasp]

ok so your decompressed folder is under a temp folder then

move it to your D drive root

the whole AMUMSS folder

[bold pewter]

i did

[hearty wasp]

can you upload a screenshot of your AMUMSS folder with folder path visible for us to make sure

[hearty wasp]

hmm strange

can you go into the folder and show me the contents as well

because that "we are in" line should show that folder path under your D drive like so instead

[hearty wasp]

ok let's start over clean, close that batch file you opened and run Test_AMUMSS_install again

[bold pewter]

closed the old one and this shows up

[hearty wasp]

see now the folder path is correct

[bold pewter]

so i should continue with the tutorial

[hearty wasp]

finish this first

press any key to continue

do it

do that until you see "all tests done"

[hearty wasp]

install it

it's compulsory

[bold pewter]

now whaty

[hearty wasp]

cool your PC blocked it

you just have to go to the site yourself and download and install the file

https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-desktop-5.0.17-windows-x64-installer

[bold pewter]

should i run the test again?

[hearty wasp]

now you're learnin

yeah update it

it updates incrementally so you'll see this about 5-8 times

just keep doing it until it doesn't wanna update anymore

[bold pewter]

oh thats what i was going to ask

im gonna follow the video now

[bold pewter]

problem

says this ill put some mods in there

[hearty wasp]

there's no problem shown here

2 conflicts means there are 2 files conflicting within the mods you've already installed

which is why you'd use AMUMSS in the first place

[bold pewter]

so what should i do

these are my mosd

[hearty wasp]

put lua in ModScript, run BUILDMOD, profit

[bold pewter]

ok

[hearty wasp]

you can also open the REPORT file and see what files are conflicting

[bold pewter]

still this and i put a lua file in mods

[hearty wasp]

I said "ModScript"

which is a folder inside the AMUMSS folder

[bold pewter]

oh there are more files in the modscript

[hearty wasp]

yeah

don't touch them

they're old and for reference only

[bold pewter]

should i just put it in there

next to those files

[hearty wasp]

aye

[bold pewter]

?

like this?

[hearty wasp]

yeah do that

have you checked the REPORT file and see what other file is conflicting yet

[bold pewter]

should i delete theM?

[hearty wasp]

not sure the summoner has a lua

have you looked in the mod page

you also have 2 versions of better rewards installed

if you have no idea which one to choose then just let the lua do its thing and delete the two better rewards in the MODS folder

unless there are further instructions in the mod page

you should check

[bold pewter]

the summoner doesnt have a lue

[hearty wasp]

cool

then it won't work

[bold pewter]

deleted the 2 files

im gonna check now

[hearty wasp]

yeah because you deleted the files that would make them conflict

anyway you should go in game, summon and get the ship, save, and then exit the game and delete the summoner

[bold pewter]

i got all the ships i needed alrdy

so ill just delete it

[hearty wasp]

run BUILDMODS after

[hearty wasp]

it's asking if you want it to install the mods for you after making them with the lua

[bold pewter]

idk what that means

[hearty wasp]

do you want the mod installed

[bold pewter]

yes

[bold pewter]

how do i use the multiplayer now

[hearty wasp]

You play the game

[bold pewter]

didnt change

[hearty wasp]

What didn't

[hearty wasp]

Not sure what the mod is supposed to do

Did it say it would change specifically this?

You should also take a look at your MODS folder and see if the mod is in there

[bold pewter]

yh its there and still not working

i downloaded the main and the lua https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1460?tab=files

[hearty wasp]

do you still have the summoner installed

and the other 2 old versions of better rewards

[bold pewter]

yes

[hearty wasp]

then delete them

I thought we already went thru that lol

[bold pewter]

works now YESSS

[bold pewter]

Does anyone know how to configure the multipliar for the betterewards mod

[fallow meadow]

You'd have to either alter the LUA (which is available separately) and rebuild the mod using AMUMSS or alter the mod (.pak) itself.

[bold pewter]

im using lua is there a tutorial somewhere

[fallow meadow]

A good place for help with modding in general would be the NMS Modding Discord. They have a channel for AMUMSS specifically

!moddinglink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/22ZAU9H

[fallow meadow]

Ah, I now see you already found your way over there. I am personally not familiar with using AMUMSS, so I am unable to assist you further. I am sure someone over there can assist you further, or feel free to ask again here to see if someone else can help you out.

[bold pewter]

ok

[solid hawk]

Open lua in a text editor. All of the variables for changing are at the top of the script. Make your changes, save. Re-run through AMUMSS to make new .pak with your changes

[lime mesa]

I think you are the one who made the Lua version of my script, the Blob Bioweapon, right? Thank you for doing that. That’s really cool. That’ll probably make it easier to maintain over time.

[solid hawk]

Yes sir. Not a problem.

I have both .cs (NMSMB) and .lua (AMUMSS) scripts for a few of my mods. Always good to provide both, when possible. I'm just terrible at C#, lol.

[lime mesa]

❤️

[worldly sphinx]

is there a mod that will add onto this mission screen somehow the name of the system the game wants me to go to for it? this will be like, the 10th time now that I've gotten some mission, flown out of the space station, opened the galaxy map, only to see its in a system I've already visited, so that I can turn my ass back into the space station, and just use the teleporter instead of wasting warp fuel?

extra helpful if the system name being added to the mission screen also has the (Visited) tag on it if it is a system I've visited

[lime mesa]

@solid hawk I went ahead and added it to the main files section. That's okay, right?

[solid hawk]

Yep, of course. If you do a 1.01 or 2.0 or whatever, may want to consider just adding the lua to the achive with the .pak. Just makes it easier for you to manage one file in NexusMods instead of two. 🙂

[lime mesa]

ah yeah that makes sense

[barren pine]

Do I want to run AMUMSS in full, dev or lean?

I'm not sure which one suits my needs

[vale iron]

When in doubt, use Dev. It gives some feedback without spamming the window. If you're sure the scripts are clean, lean would be a little faster. If you're debugging scripts, you might want full, but all the info is in the report and log anyway

[barren pine]

okay thanks

before I continue, is there a simple way to switch back and forth between modded and vanilla?

[shy grove]

Add back or delete GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\DISABLEMODS.TXT

[barren pine]

thank you

With the modname.lua script files, is adding them to the modscript folder the part that checks if they conflict?

Just double checking before I go ahead and break it

[vale iron]

It will check both the Luas in MODSCRIPT and the files in MODS

It will look into paks to see what files they modify

[barren pine]

okay so I can just go ahead and add the files for all the mods I want to use in the MODS folder, then run AMUMSS for any conflicts

[vale iron]

yes

[barren pine]

and if I need to merge I add their lua file to modscript and do whatever it is I'm about to read about

[vale iron]

Yes, add the luas then run buildmod or buildmodauto

[barren pine]

awesome, thanks

Seeing the advanced tutorial on merging two conflicting mods when one is missing a lua file seems hella complicated to me so I'm probably just not gonna download mods that are missing them

[vale iron]

Check the lua repository for scripts. A lot of mods will have Luas, just not posted separately for download. For example, up until recently, all my mods I just put the Lua in the PAK and let people unpack the PAK to get the Lua

Also the repository has scripts written for other people's mods

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

[barren pine]

gotcha gotcha

just gotta figure out how to download them properly

[vale iron]

click into the Lua, then click the Raw button near the top right of the file window, save as

[barren pine]

yep there we go

thanks

so only the .pak file goes into the MODS folder right

[vale iron]

yes, only pak

[barren pine]

If I install the mod called Better Planet Generation and load an undiscovered planet no one has seen, obviously it'll load with the mods seed, but if I leave the planet/system or delete the mod, will others with no relation to me at all be able to see that mods changes on that planet?

Just the idea of client side mods affecting other clients while not being a server mod is mind boggling to me

[vale iron]

No, they will see different stuff from you

[barren pine]

oh yes I remember now

[fresh arch]

No they won't, planets are generated for each client separately

If you build a base on modified terrain and upload it, it will be visible to the players in new location, but the terrain around it will be vanilla

[barren pine]

ah yes yes

[west ibex]

How do I add a mod to my game on steam?

[barren pine]

#nms-modding message

[barren pine]

is there an up to date mod that will skip the new game intro? At least far enough to be able to take off

[fresh arch]

I think there is an option to skip intro in difficulty settings?

[barren pine]

oh if that's the case then easy done

[west ibex]

I have been unsuccessful in getting the mod to run :thumb:

[fresh arch]

Have you deleted / renamed the DISABLEMODS file?

[west ibex]

yes

[fresh arch]

Have you put the mods in GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\MODS instead of GAMEDATA\MODS?

Are you using some kind of mod manager?

[barren pine]

well it certainly skips the tutorials, but it doesn't do anything else. Still gotta go through the motions of the tutorial, just doesn't tell you to do it

[west ibex]

I missed the PCBANKS folder

Thanks :thumb:

[barren pine]

Not a big deal, I just forgot the steps of the tutorial lol + I got DLC ship from 2016 pre order so

[barren pine]

I wish I could sort mods by what works and what is out of date with the latest version

[hearty wasp]

just sort by date

most mods before the last major game update are broken

the closer the date is to present is less likely it is broken

minus texture and model replacements anyway

[solid hawk]

In this case, many mods prior to 3rd week of February would be broken and in many cases would crash the game, excepting the two cases QP mentioned

[devout lynx]

guys what to do if my nomnom save editor crashes when i select my save?

[hearty wasp]

you use something else like NMSSE

because NomNom is not updated

[devout lynx]

goatfungus

[hearty wasp]

aye

[autumn tiger]

Anyone had success with transferring a save from GP to Steam? Seems quite complicated and limited instruction

Well seems to be easy but limited instructions

[fiery owl]

hmm anyone else gettin an error when trying to load the NMSSaveEditor batch file? I heard theres a problem if you unlocked the robo companion?

[fiery owl]

Also, could anyone help with an error "path to AMUSS contains parenthesis () Please remove them and retry" ? How do I go about resolving that?

[hearty wasp]

does the path to your AMUMSS install have any parentheses() ?

or any non-latin characters, space, punctuations, etc

[fiery owl]

it shouldn't. hmm how do I check to make sure?

[hearty wasp]

go to your AMUMSS folder

see if the path has any of the things I mentioned

Anyway thanks for AyyMang again for discovering the model in the files, now see them in colour
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2708

[fiery owl]

I am betting because its in the (x86) thats what is throwing it off

I should be able to move the whole thing to the PROGRAM FILES folder instead of (x86) right?

[hearty wasp]

I mean the text "(x86)" contains parentheses already

when we say "the path" we mean the name of the entire folder tree to the drive letter

also you don't need to put it into any program folders

just put it in your drive's root directory

[fiery owl]

okay thank you!

[crystal bramble]

Is this possible on xbox 🤩

[vale iron]

On the xbox, no, but on gamepass PC, yes

[barren pine]

when using AMUSS to merge two conflicting mods, how does choosing to keep the paks seperate work? won't they still conflict?

[vale iron]

Yes, you would need to combine them

[barren pine]

so why is that an option?

[vale iron]

Because you don't always want to combine when you run multiple Luas through

If I'm building several versions of gBase, I want them separate, even though they conflict, because I'm zipping them up and uploading them to Nexusmods

[barren pine]

ahh okay so it's not for what I'm trying to do

[vale iron]

right

[barren pine]

Just trying to keep things split in "profiles" for like, mods that don't affect actual gameplay and mods that do ect and sometimes the conflicts are between mods that do and don't

[vale iron]

Yeah, don't think that's going to work out as a viable organization structure

[barren pine]

all I do is copy over the mods in the folder I sorted it to based on if I'm playing with my mate or not and it goes fine

I just add the gameplay changing mods when I play on my new save

[vale iron]

That's reasonable. I personally just don't worry about it and leave them the same, since I don't run any terrain mods

[barren pine]

yeah that's fair

I want to try a bunch of different mods

how well does your creature giants work?

Having absolutely behemoths in my worlds is a dream

[vale iron]

You'd see differences from your friend. You can always try the 5x and if it's not big enough, alter the Lua. It's setup as a multiplier at the top, I believe

5x could be too big, though. Totally up to your taste

and how much you can tolerate the creatures clipping through objects

[barren pine]

5x might be fine, especially if you can still have small creatures

just the chance of them being large or something

[vale iron]

Yeah, you can, but the chances of tiny are smaller, since the range is increased

The overall average would drift larger

[barren pine]

yeah that's cool

still going through that other guys mods atm though

[lime mesa]

I've updated the Blob Bioweapon mod to include a "Snakes Vaccinated" version - all blobs converted into snakes, snakes live, all the other blobs die. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2703/?tab=posts

xD

[vale iron]

@lime mesaYou should ask for the modder role

[fallow meadow]

Normally NomNom can be used to do the transfer, but there have been issues with it no longer working. Did you check the pins with info for the alternative way?
<#nms-modding message>
If you then still have questions, let me know (reply or @ me)

[fallow meadow]

Correct, there is an issue with the save editors once the new Robo Companion is added to a save. Either as egg in inventory, or as pet after hatching the egg. You will have to load another save without this egg/pet first to get some editor functionality back again in NMSSE at least. You could then try reload the issue save and see if you can then edit. I would however recommend to not claim the new companion, or temporarily remove it until the issue has been fixed

Having the reward present in the Account Data is not an issue, only the game save files. Below some additional info.

In the Raw JSON various locations are used when you claim the Robo-Warden Companion at the QS bot on the Anomaly:
RedeemedSeasonRewards: ^EXPD_EGG_09 Needs removal of ID from list.
KnownSpecials: ^EXPD_EGG_09 Needs removal of ID from list.
One of the following:

• Eggs (initial): ^ROBO_PET Needs the full section reset to default.
  Also in Inventory as most likely ^EGG1
• Pets: (after hatching): ^ROBO_PET Needs the full section reset to default.

[barren pine]

Is there a mod that increases how many pets you can have registered?

[hearty wasp]

can't

[barren pine]

bugger

[barren pine]

Finally done getting what I want. This is the list of mods I wanna use for just messing around on my own or something

And this is what I'd use on my main save + current save I have with a friend, if only to keep to vanilla and fair for him

🤔

Is there a way to see what mod is causing CTD

[hearty wasp]

Sort by date

Most things over 3 weeks old may be outdated

More older more likely outdated

[barren pine]

I better double check then might have missed one

[fresh arch]

Aaayyy someone is using my mod

[barren pine]

which one

[barren pine]

everything is up to date from what I checked. I didn't check gumsks mods because he's clearly active and would already know whats broke

but still crashes. Only when loading a (test) save or a new save

is there a crash log to look at to get an idea?

[hearty wasp]

no

[barren pine]

Or maybe someone has experience with one of these mods not currently working? I checked and assume updated for fractal means its working

gonna have to brute for it testing one more at a time

pretty sure I already narrowed it down, but testing with it installed again to make sure

it was gumsks no screenshake extractor mod. For now at least, could have others

This is a tomorrow thing (if I bother at all) but if I wanted to edit a lua file, how do I make it work with the mod after editing?

[vale iron]

Sorry, didn't know it had any issues. It's been pretty low priority for a while, since they introduced the screen shake slider in options

I'll fix it tomorrow

[barren pine]

oh yeah I wouldn't even worry about it then personally

if options already do what the mod does now

[frail jolt]

Is there a mod for removing the 5 expeditions a day limit?

For frigate expeditions that is

[scarlet tendon]

If I use the Xbox app thing on PC and download no man sky how do I find the file and download mods

[lime mesa]

Who is the best person to ask for this? Is there a process?

[fallow meadow]

You can DM one of the available staff and ask for the role.

[frail jolt]

These variable names are something else man

<Property name="LevelupProgressRequiredToNotBeSadAboutDamage" value="0.95" />

[sturdy gyro]

Question. Is there a way to save edit to get rid of a mission? My starbirth mission is all messed up. 😦 I want rid of it. Don't care about living ships and can't get rid of the quest manually. It constantly glitches my game as well with this stupid "insterstellar coordinates" thing. I'm getting upset lol fack

Any other ways to get this mission finished sans traveling all over kingdom come trying to find the random galaxy... Basically has spawned into a multiplayer game some random system now it's trying to take me back there to do the mission. No way to get back. T_T

[round sinew]

i don't know how to remove it completely, but it should be possible to progress (and complete) the quest using the save editor. there's a pinned post here that explains how to do that. for convenience: <#nms-modding message>

[round sinew]

is there a button for this quest titled "restart using nearby structures" for starbirth, lower right?

[sturdy gyro]

SADLY not

thank you so much I'll check out that pinned post

[green prairie]

there is a mod that auto completes the whole starbirth quest IIRC

but I don't know if installing it after the quest is already active work

[sturdy gyro]

I found the system

Omfg

Thanks for the help. It was on my non multiplayer save thank the GODS

[lavish kite]

I had the same issue, just use a portal and look up the cords for it lol

O wait

Nvm

[vale iron]

No, there is not. I looked for it once and couldn't find it, if I recall correctly.

[frail jolt]

Yeah ive looked into it, seems like its going to be a giant pain in the ass to make

If im going to make it

Issue is that the timer is in the exe, so id have to do smth like dll injection which is not fun, or i have to completely redo the UI for expedition selection

Which also isnt fun to do because the way NMS does UIs is GARBAGE

To truly remove the timer id have to do dll injection, but i can raise the cap on the amount of expeditions a day to like 10k and then just redo the UI, which is a lot easier, but still really annoying

[tidal portal]

So, I have NMSSE and NomNom.. but only one works...
-I have Java 8 installed and working

• NMSSE is fully extracted and set
  -NMSSE .bat, 4G.bat, and JAR file do not open the main menu
  -NomNom is the only one of the two that works

[vale iron]

Do you have the robo-warden pet from the last expedition? If so, see this post from Devilin Pixy:
#nms-modding message

And note that NomNom is not updated and might cause issues. Make sure you create a backup if you plan to try to use it.

[barren pine]

I have discovered that one of the mods I have breaks docking on space stations

any known mods that do this

[tidal portal]

OHH

yea i had an egg tryingto hatch but it bugin out

idont rembr what egg it was it kept sayin error

no wonder

[vale iron]

Some have been having trouble with the type b stations. Remember that those are incomplete assets that have been forced into the game; problems are to be expected with that.

I'd honestly just use it for the pretty screenshots

[barren pine]

I figured that was gonna be it but it still happens with it removed on a different save

[frail jolt]

Is there a way to remove the dumbass 4095 item limit from refiner outputs?

[barren pine]

I'm no good at screenshots but I did take this

[frail jolt]

It's really frustrating that its not even quite half of a normal stack

Even just upping it to 5k would be a massive upgrade in QoL

Just increasing item stack limits in GCGAMEPLAYGLOBALS doesnt do it

Its not a multiplier

[vale iron]

I believe it's hard coded but I can't say for sure

[frail jolt]

Bruh

Why does this game have so much jank

[vale iron]

The only other one that looks like it could be the cause is space station interior fix

[barren pine]

yeah, just testing on a totally fresh save to see if it still happens then gonna try removing that

[hearty wasp]

isn't that p old

[frail jolt]

Ig what i could do is add a custom set of refiner recipes, where it takes in however many items is needed to make 5k of the output item (or however many 9999 can make mod per item requirements for output), and then just yeets 5k items at once into the output

But thats like cursed as fuck

[vale iron]

Yeah from my memory it is

[barren pine]

it's updated for fractal as of 2nd march

[hearty wasp]

ah ok

was thinking of another mod

[frail jolt]

Ig tomorrow is time to investigate how the fuck UIs work some more

[hearty wasp]

there's a wip UI web app iirc

[frail jolt]

Hm

I want to overhaul the frigate expedition UI

My idea was to basically copypaste the galactic trade terminal UI and use that instead of the current selection UI, because that one actually supports an arbitrary amount of choices in the thing you select

[hearty wasp]

https://lenni009.github.io/NMSUIPreview/

[frail jolt]

Bc removing the 5 expeditions a day limit is possible, but its not possible to refresh the expeditions more often than 24h, and its not possible to select any expeditions that are available if theyre not one of the first 5, because the first 5 just block the entire selection screen xd

[hearty wasp]

prolly won't work unless you know which component exactly calls the related text/button action/icon/etc

[frail jolt]

So the best solution i can think of is to raise the available daily expedition limit to something stupid, and then redo the UI so you can actually choose from any of the expeditions available and not just from the first 5

Yep

Which is why its a massive pain in the ass

Which is why i need to figure out how UIs work quite well

But like once i have the map for which button corresponds to which action etc it should be quite simple to build a script to build that UI

[hearty wasp]

...unless the button action is hardcoded

[frail jolt]

I only need to change the skin of the UI

I can actually keep the buttons the same, i just need to move them

Which it seems should be doable

[hearty wasp]

that it is

I'd say it's more or less the same complexity of modding missions

[frail jolt]

Wdym?

The hard part comes from trying to figure out how the galactic trade terminal handles buttons, of stuff that isnt on screen

[hearty wasp]

it's why you don't see people making custom UIs or custom missions

[frail jolt]

Lol

[hearty wasp]

well, except maybe one or two people 3 years back

there're some smart people out there

[frail jolt]

Like, the only hard part of this is figuring out how the UI works in the files

Code wise this is easy af

[tidal portal]

um, but my issue was i couldnt boot at all not even just to open was this really because of pet?

[vale iron]

There's also the possibility that missions per day setting doesn't do anything. Did you try reducing it to see if it actually reduced the number?

[frail jolt]

Yes

[vale iron]

Cool

[frail jolt]

And increasing it also did give me 2 new missions in the UI, the bottom 2

Which means that theyre ordered by something

[tidal portal]

alphabetically or recency

[frail jolt]

And that those two missions inserted themselves between the bottom 2 missions and the top 3

I dont know

[vale iron]

I can't say, haven't had personal experience with it

[frail jolt]

But yeah i think it should be doable

And if it isnt oh well

[hearty wasp]

the easiest way would prolly be cannibalising existing elements in the same UI file and just fucking with the indexes

[vale iron]

Though might this weekend since I claimed the robo warden last weekend

[frail jolt]

Yes that is exactly my plan

[tidal portal]

would it be possible to reobtain said egg after i delete it? and would deleting it fix my issue?

[frail jolt]

Im gonna yoink as much of the galactic trade terminal UI as i can

And just try to get the button placements to work sorta

At least at first

[hearty wasp]

cos you'd only need to specialise in understanding that one UI file and its childrenm

[vale iron]

The instructions she gives looks like it would allow you to reclaim later

[hearty wasp]

oh I mean straight up just reusing the existing frigate expedition UI

[frail jolt]

Oh the issue with that is that i dont know how to make that multi page

Adding multi page support to an existing UI seems like a GIANT pain

[hearty wasp]

is it multipage in vanilla?

[frail jolt]

No

Its single page

[hearty wasp]

then just shrink everything down instead

[frail jolt]

kek

Thats jank as fuck

[hearty wasp]

yeah

that's NMS modding

[frail jolt]

Also tbh i dont understand why this isnt in the vanilla game

[hearty wasp]

things literally only work by being cobbled together using a markup language

[frail jolt]

Bc like, currently im having to send my 5 star fleet into 1 star expeditions with 5 frigates per expedition on my normal save, and i still cant send all of my frigates out

Which is just fucking stupid

They can handle any 3 star expedition i throw at them no problem and im having to send them out to 1 star expeditions that they finish in 3 hours

[barren pine]

so far it's neither, so I'm gonna start bruteforcing it until I find the one

[tidal portal]

[dusk saffron]

@magic lavaI just saw your COMING SOON banner in the spoiler channel LOL

[magic lava]

Lol

That ship has been in there for like 2 years haha

[hearty wasp]

The file's been in the game since launch

[sullen bolt]

I just made a modpack that works lmao, the game feels like a 2.0

[limber raptor]

Is this where I would talk about editing a save?

Cause I'm trying to find a specific mission ID so I can mark my save as having done it.

Note I can't highlight the mission as it no longer exists in my log.

So it might be that I have to force another one to start.

[limber raptor]

Thank you! I've popped my plea there too. Waiting on either side lol

[limber raptor]

turns out it got fixed by running an anomaly detector

I gifted one to myself because me losing out on this wasn't technically my fault. While I made a bunch of mistakes that made it worse, I'ma allow myself this little re-do

[wanton cliff]

Are there mods for, say, putting in planetary coordinates (such as +9.70, -112.61) and getting a custom waypoint toward which to steer?

Failing that, is there a mod that would put my current coordinates on a part of the ship's screens that is actually visible in slow flight?

[vale iron]

No and no. First is not possible, second maybe

[wanton cliff]

Thanks for the quick answer. I'm also looking for a mod that would let me hold a course or maintain current altitude. Not necessarily hovering (I know those exist), but just not taking off into space or ramming the ground every time my mouse twitches up or down?

[barren pine]

gumsk how hard would it be to make your custom ships mod be in the wild? I'd love to use them but being able to just summon then for nothing feels too cheaty for me, takes out the appeal of getting a cool or rare ship

[jagged wadi]

That's a good looking starship you got there

I'd save editing considered modding?

[sullen bolt]

well, i had o edit the json for the speedsters

[sullen bolt]

The ship was made by a custom seed generator

[jagged wadi]

Seeded or not it's still a good looking ship, I've been trying my hand at seeds

Not to much success thus far but I'm learning

[sullen bolt]

Seed: 0x5EEDC0DE6B39BF69

[solid hawk]

You can already. On NexusMods, go to the page for Ships of Moar. Read the description page, about the Collection script. Makes both gShip and SoM ships available in the wild, by replacing instances of shuttles.

You'll need the SoM, gShips, and collection script output .paks in your MODS folder for everything to work

[solid hawk]

Yep Drone Ship. Model is kinda messed up now, needs some surgery.

[green prairie]

anyone have a fighter seed with the best stats possible? I wasn't expecting it to be this hard to find on google but I guess it is?

[weak stone]

thats not how it works

[green prairie]

that is how it works, seed determines the stats and the looks, for golden vector the looks doesn't matter

[weak stone]

but there is a guy called Hero2u in yt that has a video with some cool ships, 4 overcharged slots united

[green prairie]

that's why I care about the seed for the stats

[weak stone]

ok, i just save edit to the number i want

can be 1 or 9999999999

than i can one shot anyone

seeds are not the main factor of stats

[weak stone]

only not true if you are looking for perfect overcharged slots

[green prairie]

@night adder my dude since you're the god of seeds, do you have any Fighter seed with the closest to perfect base stats so I can replace the GV/Switch stats?

[frail jolt]

Seeds are what determines the stats tho no?

Like im p sure with ships and freighters seeds are what determine the stats

With multi tools its both the multi tool and the cabinet seed

[weak stone]

Stats are inherent to seeds, but not dependent on them.

If you change the stat value, the seed wont change

But the limit rn is around 3.200 mobility, after that you lose control of your ship

[frail jolt]

Ye ofc

But you cant change base stats in vanilla in any controllable way as far as im aware

So they might as well be determined by the seed xD

Like, it calculates the stats based on the seed, it just does it only when the ship or freighter is first generated, after that it just stores them

[weak stone]

You just need to edit the code script

no mods

[frail jolt]

What code script

[weak stone]

your save

[marsh eagle]

Only the core stat of maneuver and damage depend on the seed. The rest on top of that is randmoized within a predefined range.

[frail jolt]

Huh

What is that RNG seeded from?

Do you know?

[marsh eagle]

Yes system time

[frail jolt]

Epic, nano?

[marsh eagle]

I reverse engineered the sats entirely and put them into the ship creator bot

[frail jolt]

Oh nice

So ig not nanotime xd

[weak stone]

amazing service

[marsh eagle]

Nano lol. I think minimum milliseconds

[frail jolt]

Yeah i mean, system nanotime is just a very common seeder for a lot of game RNGs

Its why i thought it might be that

[marsh eagle]

If you can freeze your system time at least on pc you could force cool stats

With some tool

But then you can also just saveedit

[frail jolt]

But i would not be surprised if its the same seeder as living ship upgrade module stats, which operates on like human timescales, you can force multiple upgrades to have the exact same stats if you upgrade them fast enough after each other

[frail jolt]

Freezing systemtime fucks up windows big time

Its only really doable on linux

Even then it requires some pretty funky stuff to work

[marsh eagle]

I'm surprised someone knows about such a crazy idea lol

[frail jolt]

Oh ive looked into this

xd

Not for NMS tho, for Minecraft

[marsh eagle]

AH I see

[frail jolt]

I have a fair bit of experience cracking RNGs from there xD

[dusk saffron]

@marsh eagleis the highest damage ship pinned anywhere on the creative hub?

[marsh eagle]

No we didn't want to ruin PVP games if some player have the perfect stat ships

[frail jolt]

Also BTW, is there any way to embed scripts into mods without using the super heavyweight API that's based on like memory manipulation

[marsh eagle]

Theres a thing called sketch nodes in the game. It allows to use action events in a a limited way.

[frail jolt]

Hmm

[marsh eagle]

And can be melted into mbins purely

[frail jolt]

Nice

What do action events allow? Like what are they?

I'm very new to NMS modding, i started yesterday lol

[marsh eagle]

You can check it out here https://nmsmodding.fandom.com/wiki/ActionTrigger

[frail jolt]

Thanks

[dusk saffron]

@frail joltyou're a day ahead of me

[frail jolt]

I mean you can probably save most of that time by reading the PCBANKS explorer documentation better

I had to re-unpack and re-decompile all my files 2 times because the documentation on the input and output folders is less than stellar

[green prairie]

if discord search is to be believed, there is one on Patreon

[frail jolt]

Is it possible to create custom actions in some way?

[marsh eagle]

No unfortunately not. Mbins are too limited and depends on predefined actions and events

[frail jolt]

Hm

[marsh eagle]

What do you want to achieve ?

[frail jolt]

Im atm just trying to gauge how much can be done and what can be influenced with this, but ideally id be able to reset the frigate missions more than once a day xD

But i dont think thats possible

[marsh eagle]

Just saveedit the timestamps

[frail jolt]

Other stuff ive thought about doing is starting to do stuff with the RNG

But that requires full on scripting in the mods

[marsh eagle]

Yes and it's not like java with minecraft which allowed to accesss the real game code essentially so a api like forge mod loader is difficult

[frail jolt]

Yep

Which is why im trying to constantly think about how to embed something that can actually do logic into the mods xD

Even basic logic would help so much

Does this game have a console of any kind?

Like in game console

[hearty wasp]

no

[frail jolt]

Ffs

[brittle patio]

Does anyone know what the new mod that lets you see the new stations is called

And where to dl it

[jagged wadi]

Is save editing considered modding?

[hearty wasp]

discussion-wise yes

metaphysically it's up to you

[jagged wadi]

Sweet, I just hopped on the band wagon this is my first go round

Broke a save yesterday but got it working today, yeah boi!!!

Sa-weet!!!

[solid hawk]

With NMS, we can modify/add static entries to static files. That's the extent, without full on dll injection, which there is no existing framework for. HG tolerates modding, but doesn't encourage, so no logging or console. NMS modding more about what you're allowed to do, rather than what you'd like to do.

[frail jolt]

Hm

[solid hawk]

Until you get used to the restrictions, like 1/20 ideas are viable. We've all been there

Lol

[frail jolt]

I mean i know how i want to bypass the expedition limit, its just insanely annoying

I want to redo the expedition selection UI, basically im trying to yoink the galactic trade terminal UI and trying to put possible expeditions there instead of trade items

[solid hawk]

Nobody has ever been able to do so, so you'd be a star if you could get it. ⭐

[frail jolt]

If thats doable i can add as many as i want to for potential expeditions

xD

[hearty wasp]

"insanely annoying" is basically why most "difficult but technically humanly possible" mods don't get made

[frail jolt]

Bc raising the expedition limit does actually give you more expeditions, its just you cant normally select most of them (and in some cases any) because theyre sorted in some order

[hearty wasp]

and that's how people start spending years making tools specifically to make that one thing not annoying

Like changing UI. LOL. Very possible, but due to massive repetition in the files and not much of an out of game viewer, becomes an exercise in extreme frustration

[frail jolt]

Yeah, im currently writing a file parser to compactify the UI notation

[solid hawk]

Nice

[frail jolt]

Bc as you said like 99% of it is repetition and unnecessary

I dont need it to be XML so i can make a way nicer format xd

[solid hawk]

This is what we got now for UI: https://lenni009.github.io/NMSUIPreview/

Built upon an earlier one, with s few basic tweaks

[harsh rampart]

So I... Without really thinking locked my settings on normal then some how after playing with the difficulty on my secondary I was able to redo them on my primary but they're still locked & in relaxed. Is there a way I can unlock them?

(I don't have a pc) (Poor People problems)

[hearty wasp]

if you don't have a PC then you cannot use a save editor

so no

[livid jay]

does anyone know of a mod that makes things snap when your building?

not just the building tiles and walls but stuff like solar panels and batteries and generators

[hearty wasp]

Doesn't BBB do that

Or something called snappy industry or someshit

Try searching for "indistry" I guess

But no nothing blanket

[solid hawk]

BBB nope, BASEBUILDINGOBJECTSTABLE only. I shot him to Snappy Industry over on C&S where he double posted

[barren pine]

Thank you thank you!

[solid hawk]

No problem. Happy to give you a point in that direction. WinderTP and Gumsk both do great stuff.

[barren pine]

I just don't get where to put the lua

do I put it in the scripts folder

and for this line -- SHIPS_COLLECTION = {"TEST"} I put -- SHIPS_COLLECTION = {"ALL", "GSHIP"} to use both?

or does "ALL" cover both

I figured it out

but the conflicts between those two mods, the created one and gumsks custom freighter mod... do I ignore it or combine them

hmm apparently it's intended so off I go

[sick maple]

Anyone able to help me use save editor I’m trying to modify a save on Xbox game pass on my computer

And by modifying that I would have it modified on my console save

[vale iron]

I'll try

[sick maple]

So the issue isn’t getting the editor it’s getting the save files of my games to connect

As I didn’t get it on steam

[vale iron]

You probably just need to point it at the right place. Here is the path

!faq-savefiles

[hardy aurora]

to view, enable Link Preview

When sharing saves in a report to Hello Games, it is best to create a package/archive of the full folder shown for your platform above (.zip/.rar).

[sick maple]

Okay so how do I input it into NMSSE?

[sick maple]

I see that part but I can see my save data in file explorer how can I forward it to that?

[vale iron]

The Open File/Path should let you point it at the correct place on your drive for Game Pass

[sick maple]

So do I enter what’s in the FAQ under gamepass directly into the file name area?

[fallow meadow]

Browse to the path from within NMSSE
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Packages\HelloGames.NoMansSky_bs190hzg1sesy\SystemAppData\wgs\<largealphanumericname>\
Mind you, that is one folder further after 'wgs', which should have the container file and your saves (not in normal names)

Once you are in that folder, just select to 'Open' it, do not select any of the files. The saves should then appear under the dropdown in the save editor

[sick maple]

Tyvm

It’s working now

[vale iron]

Thanks Devilin Pixy, was multitasking in another window, and you're always great at explaining things 🙂

[sick maple]

To sync the data I just need to save the game then close it properly then open my Xbox and it should sync?

[vale iron]

Should do, yeah

[sick maple]

So I used the editor to try and give the expedition rewards but none of them are appearing to be claimed, is there a process to do?

[vale iron]

Yeah, you go to the quicksilver vendor in the Nexus Anomaly

[sick maple]

I went there and it said I didn’t have them unlocked

It did change my quicksilver tho so it had an effect

[fresh arch]

Did you edit the account data tab or just the save inventory tab?

[vale iron]

Hmm, maybe it didn't save the account edits

[sick maple]

Account data

[vale iron]

A change to amount of QS would be a save data edit, not account data, so maybe it saved one but not the other

[sick maple]

I went through the checklist and changed all the expedition rewards to be unlocked im trying again to see if it worked

[vale iron]

Ok, I just checked. When you edit account data and change tabs back to main, it should ask if you want to save account data

[sick maple]

Aight I clicked save then saved again

[vale iron]

There's also the possibility that account data doesn't sync across between XBox and PC on Gamepass. I don't know on that front. @fallow meadow ?

Go check the QS vendor while on PC before syncing back to xbox

[fallow meadow]

Account Data should work fine on all PC platforms (Steam Xbox GP GOG)

[vale iron]

Thanks!

[fallow meadow]

Only issue I have come across at times, is the reward being unlocked, but not letting it be claimed. This is usually user error, or an attempt to claim multiple times

Not seeing rewards become available at all, makes it seem like it is not actually getting saved?

[vale iron]

Huh, random aside, I show one egg not unlocked in my account data from expeditions, even though I've finished every expedition and every redux

[fallow meadow]

NomNom or NMSSE?

[magic lava]

If you are editing on PC to then use on Xbox, you are going to want to sync the game files a couple times.

[vale iron]

NMSSE

[fallow meadow]

Could it be the egg that was only made available for Switch users, but shown in the list regardless?

ODD_EGG?

[vale iron]

Yes, ODD_EGG

Thanks for the explanation

[fallow meadow]

That is the Void Egg

[lime mesa]

Any shaders, textures mods recommended?

[vale iron]

Arghwater is the main shader mod

[sullen bolt]

The modpack im using rn in Fractal (It has no compatibility issues/no need to fix anything): ____REDMAS_SCI-FI-FANTASY_GAME-OVERHAUL_custom (from "Sliders - Parallel Worlds" ) / ___REDMAS____REALISTIC___SPACE_V4 (from "Sliders - Parallel Worlds" ) / ___REDMAS_UTOPIA-REVAMP-V11 / _Fine_LOD_412 / _ReConstructs / _TypeBSpaceStation (Datamined space stations) / _Winder_InterstellarHole / ArghWater_415 / CompanionPetUnlocker (Tame anything) / DerelictSpeedIncrease / gLight Always On All 411a / gSquad Damage 25x 411a / gSquad Tighter Squad Formations 411a / MPDebris_Fractal_v06b (more debris) / New Boundaries 2.8 (better camera) / Rotating Atmosphere 2.2 / True Black 1.2 (better black)

[fresh arch]

Redmas alone is more like an overhaul

I think only the True Black mod would fit what Pepe is looking for

[sullen bolt]

Black space no?

the black hole one is kind of a texture mod also

[vale iron]

It's totally a texture mod, and great

[fresh arch]

Ah, sorry havent noticed that

[rotund shoal]

are there mods that increase the difficulty ?

[fresh arch]

You don't need mods for that

You can dial in many aspects of the game in difficulty settings

But if that's not enough, sure there are mods to bring it to 11

[bleak crystal]

Hi. I tested the game a year or so ago and while I liked it I found the user interface with all the information (and the color palett!) thrown at you very confusing for my ADHD brain too keep up with. Is there any mod that "dumbs" it down a bit, scaling down the information you receive and also makes it less colourful? The last part might sound weird but I find it hard to focus on all the information when the screen is filled with so many different colours.

[hybrid coral]

What part of the UI specifically? During gameplay it's all minimalistic and white

If you have trouble with the inventory, then.. maybe..

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1278

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1277

[bleak crystal]

This is what my brain struggles with.

[hybrid coral]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1527

^ has an "immersiveUI" pak to fade out some parts of the UI during regular gameplay.

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1285

^ has resized item cards, may help with visibility of descriptions (not 100% sure if it's still compatible with current version tho)

[hybrid coral]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1277 then

[bleak crystal]

Yeah, that one look much better.

[hybrid coral]

Can't do much other than get used to it - nobody is rushing you, can do everything at your own desired pace

There aren't really any massive restructure-mods for the inventory page other than this.

[bleak crystal]

Cheers mate, I'll try those mods out. 👍

[green prairie]

There is one that makes sentinel harder, and then there is the PTSD mod, but that one isn't updated and the author is working on it.

[rotund shoal]

cool cool

[dusk saffron]

@rotund shoaldon't take the starter ship. 🙂

[fresh arch]

My mod has nothing to do with resizing item cards

If memory serves right Lo2k has a mod that makes them smaller

[rotund shoal]

🕳️

[hybrid coral]

I was actually looking for that, misclick

[green prairie]

Soon™

[fresh arch]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1285

[hybrid coral]

Yesss!

Tyvm, edited 👍🏻

[dusk saffron]

looking forward to it

[hearty wasp]

Do you like fighting sentinels like you're playing doom eternal

If so get DPPBFOYA

[rotund shoal]

honestly i first have to get the game , asked this just in case that when i bought it the enemies would be too weak since this is an exploration game

[hearty wasp]

If you prefer it to be too hard then it'll be perfect for you

[rotund shoal]

i do like em hard

[hearty wasp]

Nice

But yeah it's def hard for new players

[green prairie]

you're right there

vanilla game is too easy

[green prairie]

does it only change the spawn multiplier or it also changes the difficulty of the sentinels itself like Exo's mod?

[dusk saffron]

even permadeath game got easy compared to when I started 2 years ago.

[hearty wasp]

I leave damage stuff to other mods

DPPBFOYA just multiplies cops

[green prairie]

then he can use both

noice

[hearty wasp]

That's the aim

[solid hawk]

And if nobody else has mentioned gLonely

If looking at Savage, check out POSTS. A guy thanks me for killing him 5 times in a row. Lol

[weak stone]

the only ones of this type that are worth in my opinion are tre pradator ones (more damage, more predators....)

[solid hawk]

Some of the predator stuff is now handled by difficultu settings in options

[dusty echo]

can we add mods to the game from nexus? is that legal? can I get ban for adding mods?

[vale iron]

Yes it's legal. No you won't get banned

[dusty echo]

awesome

[vale iron]

It's recommended to install them manually though, not with vortex

[dusty echo]

But how? Does this not affect online mode?

[vale iron]

Check the pins for both how to install and multiplayer notes

Here's how to

this pack works with online mode

and all it mods

[fresh arch]

Personally I would not recommend getting a planet overhaul mod

Especially not in context of 1) working in online mode where player A ends up seeing a different planet than player B

And 2) when there is an ongoing expedition, we had reports of people having issues with completing expedition because mods changed terrain generation (removed volcanos on planet #2, can't complete the Caldera milestone)
