@swift cosmos PS4 since launch, suckah 😛

Literally still playing with the same console + disc I started with

[swift cosmos]

Bro Xbox and PS can't manually add most files💀💀💀💀💀💀

(I'm an Xbox player)

[night adder]

Who said I added files?

[sleek sapphire]

You can do a lot w wizard

Editing stuff in and such

[swift cosmos]

Idk

[swift cosmos]

Ok

[sleek sapphire]

👍

[night adder]

Save Wizard decrypts to a format NMSSE and NomNom can use as well, so PS4 can edit to the same extent as PC

Minus account data

SaveWizard doesnt recognize that to decrypt

[swift cosmos]

Nice ok
I think I'm kinda too boomer to understand that but k

[night adder]

Whatevs, NMS is for all sorts, am 38 myself, but definitely heading towards falling behind the times lol

[sleek sapphire]

Am a computer caveman, neurons are activating slowing with this stuff lol

[swift cosmos]

👍

[swift cosmos]

Fair enough

[frank wigeon]

any chance there is a mod that tells you when you will soon be elegeble for the free frieghter hahahaha

[maiden rapids]

Btw thank you @solid hawk for the lua and leading me to said lua readme

I completely missed the readme folder that comes with AMUMSS

Looking through my other mods I use I notice your name in them a ton heh

[solid hawk]

Np sir. If you run into snags, when writing luas, we have a dedicated channel over at the nms modding discord. 🙂

[sonic yoke]

could you potentially create a corrupted sentinel spider pet via save edit or like a sentinel walker head without legs (also vice versa)?

[maiden rapids]

oh thank you!

[eternal sonnet]

Anyone have an egg like this

[night adder]

@eternal sonnet Here's the JSON for a pet like that

[urban thunder]

So here’s the situation. My friend on PC is trying to give me (Xbox) A save edited ship. How could he make it so that i can get the ship with the save edits?

Can anyone help? Thanks

[night adder]

@urban thunder Depends what edits they are, but for most the answer would be, "He can't."

[urban thunder]

It is base stat edits

@night adder

[night adder]

Then no, wont carry over. A chosen seed will, as will a scene file path edit, thats about it.

[urban thunder]

Scene file path?

[night adder]

@urban thunder Its how ships like these are made

[urban thunder]

oh

Thanks a lot!

[timid burrow]

This still feels so wrong 🤣

I love it.

[twilit nova]

did someone make the spacepod from dbz yet

[delicate totem]

That's not a ship , should name it tide pod

[night adder]

@delicate totem Nope, tis the Explorber

[sonic yoke]

Can someone create a save edit corrupt sentinel spider pet for me and give me an egg of it on ps5.

[night adder]

@sonic yoke Not possible

[sonic yoke]

why?

[night adder]

Because the new corrupt Sentinels arent part of the CreatureDataTable, even modders havent set up a way to tame those, and if they do so, the eggs wont work for anyone without the mod.

[sonic yoke]

what creatures are in dataTable @night adder

[night adder]

@sonic yoke #nms-modding message

[sonic yoke]

DRONE ?

@night adder

[night adder]

Sentinel Drone, more useless than Laylaps

[sonic yoke]

different types?

@night adder

Hello?

or SPIDER?

[night adder]

No, there are no entries for spider mechs

[sonic yoke]

mechs?

[night adder]

Sentinels

[sonic yoke]

in the list there is SPIDER as an entry

[night adder]

Yeah its a fauna type

[sonic yoke]

oh how do they look?

[night adder]

Spiders, crabs, mantises

[sonic yoke]

LAND_JELLYFISH,FLOATSPIDER

oh ok and land jellyfish?

[night adder]

Expedition Helios pet

[sonic yoke]

oh ok

wait let me just ask some other tags idk sorry but...

FIENDFISHBIG

ROBO_PET

@night adder

[night adder]

The jumpscare fish from Alluring Specimen, Expedition pet

[sonic yoke]

FIENDFISHSMALL?

[night adder]

Glowing water jellyfish

[sonic yoke]

oh wait there are 3 quads: quadruped, quad_pet and quad.

@night adder

[night adder]

HG made a mess there, 1 was meant to serve as both the Sentinel and the pet, then HG split it into 2 others unique to pet/enemy

[fresh arch]

I'm sorry but do you have to ping DHE every 2 messages?

Can't you just fucking wait for them to answer?

[sonic yoke]

oh ok

sry

[fresh arch]

You think they exist only to respond to you?

[sonic yoke]

SCUTTLER ?

[night adder]

The mini horrors on derelicts

[sonic yoke]

ok thx

[feral cypress]

hey yall its been... way too long for me. i cant remember how to check if my mods are up2date (which they wont be) and i think i also needed to copy my savegame before i check ingame (cause i have a mod for more inventory space)

[fresh arch]

Assume nothing you have is compatible with new game version

[feral cypress]

which is most likely correct

[fresh arch]

So make a list of your mods and look up new versions on them on Nexus

Alternatively see if they have a LUA or C# script provided

And use that to build the mod yourself for the new game files

[feral cypress]

even before i left i had no idea how that stuff works

[fresh arch]

With AMUMSS or NMS Mod Builder respectively

[feral cypress]

yeah. still no idea how lol 😄 so i will prob. skip that step

[fresh arch]

There is a pinned message on how to use AMUMSS

In best case scenario is: download, extract, paste, run a script, press couple keys on keyboard, done

[feral cypress]

so i copy paste my safefiles, check my mods on nexusmods and yeah thats it so far right?

[fresh arch]

Nothing to do with save files

Though it's always a good practice to have a backup

[feral cypress]

well it does, if i load in NOW my extra inventory space will be gone and so will be all items in them

i dont even remember where that stuff was located

https://i.imgur.com/WHlx4Wa.png

which one is my actual save. i just copy all i guess?

[fallow meadow]

Even value is manual/restore, uneven is auto. Slot 1 is none or 2, slot 2 is 3 or 4, slot 3 is 5 or 6, etc

[night adder]

I've started editing a JSON package of TeleportEndpoints - the end result will be 4 sets of 64 JSON entries that can be swapped in to savedata for labelled teleport access to the same address in every single galaxy.

Because whats slicker than editing your location in a save? A set of preset destinations in your teleporter list to choose from! Lol

[fallow meadow]

Downside of TeleportEndpoints is the fact it updates accordingly, so any change is redundant pretty much after 1st use

[night adder]

@fallow meadow How do you mean?

[fallow meadow]

Create your own custom list, fine 1st time, to then use it and see it update to be useless

[night adder]

Ive never had that issue - I can load in 10 destinations and not get around to visiting em all for weeks

[fallow meadow]

It is based on your teleport destinations available in-game, so if out of the ordinary, those will be replaced with what the game thinks should be there. Basically having to manually adjust all the time

[night adder]

Then youre not doing it right lol

[fallow meadow]

I have used it plenty of times, but always had to replace prior to use, as the default destinations would not match my wishes

[night adder]

It's possible to write in entries that the game doesnt find issue with

[fallow meadow]

Sure, but it will not keep an entry you hardly ever visit, so try keep it there?

I mean, sure, I still use it, as a change is quick and I have a backup, but unless this has changed, I doubt many will find it useful, as it turns back to defaults where wished entries are soon lost

[night adder]

Ohh, that isnt the point - its for people that want to set up either access to all galaxies by placing bases, else folks that want to snag specific galaxy accesses, to set up a short playlist of destinations, again to place bases.

[fallow meadow]

Oh, but I do understand how it 'could' be used, however sadly it won't for long

This is just one of those things you have to keep updating

Still useful, but not kept

[knotty monolith]

my mods dont work

😦

[knotty monolith]

nvm

[dusk summit]

does anyone know if there's a mod that lets you copy/paste friend codes in?

for PC, obviously

[hearty wasp]

no

[dusk summit]

I'm always surprised that such things are missing...given this is such a PC-centric game.
I mean, Console users CAN play it...but it seems designed FOR PC users, if you understand the distinction

and things like, when you're fighting in your starship...locking onto starships is S...but CHANGING to another starship is comma/period (all the way over on the other side of the keyboard...yeah I know you can change it, but why would that be the DEFAULT?) when your right hand is already occupied using the mouse

[sleek sapphire]

Actually surprisingly enough this game was developed for ps4 didn’t start from pc pretty sure

Or pc focused should say

[dusk summit]

Odd...the way it's designed and the way it operates (above the hood, so-to-speak) SEEMS so pc-centric

there are certain games you can just tell were made specifically for pc, you know?

[sleek sapphire]

Definitely, I remember how odd it was playing the orange box game back in day on console, the valve one

[dusk summit]

Hell, many of the best games of my generation were PC-centric.
Minecraft, Doom, Warcraft, Starcraft (obviously), Half-Life, SimCity, Halo...just to name a few

[sleek sapphire]

Huh rlly I didn’t know halo was a pc thing, I saw it had an Atari addition lol

[shadow lance]

@night adder are you keeping tabs on perfect roll mods?

[night adder]

Lol, I'm working to suss out the hidden decimals on perfect roll mods, zencqs repo is all the tabs on perfect displayed bonuses lol

[shadow lance]

Ahh ok - just saw the list on creative and had a phase beam from one of my saves. 31/100

X class phase beam: 03300

[dusk saffron]

@night adderthanks for posting it, I updated all of my exosuit modules

[night adder]

@shadow lance Counterfeit Liquid Lens Optics?

[shadow lance]

I can double check that when I hop back on

[shadow lance]

That is the one!

[sonic yoke]

MINIDRONE DHarhanWulf

[sonic yoke]

@night adder

[night adder]

@sonic yoke Derelict drones

[sonic yoke]

ok

so no spiders :=)(

so I'll askabout the sentinel DRONE. Are there meant to be different types of just this land copying drone that spawns at the start or like all drones including healers or summoners. @night adder Sorry for ping but I really want to know this. It is my last question.

[night adder]

@sonic yoke No, starting with Sentinels, HG hasn't made any additions to the CreatureDataTable except for Expedition egg reward pets.

[sonic yoke]

wdym with no you said a sentinel drone more useless than laylaps.

like are there types.

or just starter sentinel.

[night adder]

Yes, and "^DRONE" is the original one that predates all expansion of types beyond 0 legs, 4 legs, 2 legs

[sonic yoke]

oh ok :()

but if that is that what are the other drones :() ?

if not creatures?

objects?

@night adder Sorry but I really want one of the other sentinels as a pet is there a way?

[night adder]

Dude, we've been going back and forth for hours, I may be stoned, but not enough that I'd fully respond to 3 different inquiries seeking the same thing and happen to forget "this 1 magical way" every time lol

[sonic yoke]

Do you mean the list?

[devout lynx]

where i need to place my mod?

[sonic yoke]

Like what clasifications are the other creatures that aren't there?

[hearty wasp]

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

[hearty wasp]

they're "robots"

[sonic yoke]

uh ok

[night adder]

@sonic yoke No, going back even further, starting with you asking about a corrupted Sentinel pet and me flat out saying it is not possible.

[hearty wasp]

they're in their own table with a similar data structure setup but not strictly creatures

[sonic yoke]

why can't you create ,,Robots"?

as pets.

[hearty wasp]

don't they break mp

[sonic yoke]

ye

[hearty wasp]

yeah then there you go

[night adder]

Because pets function through use of CreatureID, and those Sentinels dont have em.

[sonic yoke]

but it works for these walkers.

[hearty wasp]

aren't you the guy whom I said they're as possible as having chairs as pets to

[sonic yoke]

oh these are there sorry.

[hearty wasp]

or is that another guy

[sonic yoke]

chairs?

wth

[hearty wasp]

yeah chairs are models

sentinels are models

they'd work similarly minus the entity difference

[night adder]

🤦‍♂️ ....because "^WALKER" is on the CreatureID list. Excuse me, I am done with this circular convo.

[hearty wasp]

beacuse they're not creatures

they're robots

[sonic yoke]

sorry If I'm confusing you DHarhanWulf I'm sorry.

[hearty wasp]

I think they mean walkers are the only sentinel that has a creature ID

and none other does

I don't think they were confused, you just didn't catch it

[sonic yoke]

strange cause they can interact lol.

[hearty wasp]

that is irrelevant

[sonic yoke]

Sorry again.

[hearty wasp]

you can interact with a chair

[sonic yoke]

yes ok.

[night adder]

Youre not confusing me, it simply feels as though youre not listening because the answer you wish isnt a possibility

[hearty wasp]

I love chairs, I should use em as analogs more

[sonic yoke]

But can you upscale every creature with an ID.

[hearty wasp]

"with an ID"

[hearty wasp]

read this again

[sonic yoke]

yeah CreatureID

on the list.

[hearty wasp]

and what happens when they're not on the list

[sonic yoke]

so can you upscale like the DRONE with save edit?

[hearty wasp]

is that on the list?

on what list actually

[sonic yoke]

CreatureID list.

[night adder]

I refer you to this comment #nms-questions message

[sonic yoke]

it is ye the not robot drone that spawns.

So can you like make it 2x size like breeding via save edit?

[night adder]

Sure

[sonic yoke]

ok nice.

[night adder]

touches forehead The next answer is no

[sonic yoke]

ok...

so no upscaling...

[night adder]

That was the 1st question

[hearty wasp]

oh I just saw the list

[sonic yoke]

ok I'll just ask for a normal one...

[hearty wasp]

DRONE isn't even in the list?

[sonic yoke]

it is.

[hearty wasp]

where did you get the list from?

I saw the one in #nms-fauna pins

[sonic yoke]

from DHarhanWulf.

[night adder]

#nms-modding message

@hearty wasp

[sonic yoke]

#nms-modding message

[hearty wasp]

ah ok

[sonic yoke]

oh

[hearty wasp]

have you tried?

do you know how to do it in general?

have you tried it on a vanilla pet?

[sonic yoke]

I'm on ps5 just asking for a friend.

[hearty wasp]

oh ok

[sonic yoke]

I added like stuff in sequencer.

[hearty wasp]

is that friend whom I said it's as possible to have a chair as a pet to

[sonic yoke]

to make pets bigger.

no I have not said that.

[hearty wasp]

oh I found the exchange I had with that person

apparently they're not in the server anymore

wait no I looked at the wrong exchange

yeah they're on the PS5

[night adder]

@sonic yoke Since you didnt seem to understand, yes, you can save edit pets to whatever scale your machine can handle rendering in - size was the same thing you asked about 1st, the question I was pre-answering No to was whether it could be recoloured.

[hearty wasp]

prolly the same person

[sonic yoke]

oh so you may found my dialog where I asked if interactable stuff like station cores can be pets.

not chairs wth

[hearty wasp]

no someone asked for the corrupted sentinels as pets

I said they're as possible as having chairs as pets

[sonic yoke]

oh that was me.

[hearty wasp]

oh ok

good luck on the begging then

[sonic yoke]

so I'll just wait for them to put them on normal list

like the creatureID list.

[shy grove]

Ooh what a great idea. I want a chair pet now

[hearty wasp]

at least you'd be able to ride it

[night adder]

Sure it wouldnt just spin a few times when you tried?

[dusk saffron]

it's no wonder why creative hub banned him

[fresh arch]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2357?tab=description

@vivid hedge example of a mod that removes hazardous flora

But it also does a ton other changes to the game

So you might wanna ask the author or other modder to just get the bit that removes the hazards

[vivid hedge]

oh ok

i think they removed it already

[fresh arch]

OR this one: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2682?tab=description

Should be working fine with latest game version

[vivid hedge]

i will try to live without these mods for now

cuz they are breaking some mechanics

[fresh arch]

Well, they are removing one of the deeply rooted elements of the gameplay

Of course there will be problems

This is the price to pay

[small plover]

@vale iron sorry for the ping, the ship skin mod, do you think you could do a freighter sized USS Enterprise?

[hearty wasp]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2200

[small plover]

BRUH

Thats awesome

[hearty wasp]

did the search not return this result?

or did you not

[small plover]

I...

Gunna be honest, it didnt pass my mind that someone would

Oopsie

Im guessing only changes for me?

[fresh arch]

Yup

[vivid hedge]

how do i check if mod is compatible

with latest nms

[hearty wasp]

you can either have intimate knowledge of the structs and the changes of their data structure update by update

or you can just read the mod's update date and see if it's recent

[fresh arch]

Or compile the mod yourself for the current version of the game using a LUA / C# script if it's provided

[glass gate]

Is there any mod that lets you build on the bridge of your freighter?

[torpid gorge]

is there any mod that gives a full statistics read out

[vivid hedge]

guys

do i need to launch nms through vortex mod manager if i installed mods there?

or can i launch it through steam

[devout lynx]

it wont crash?

[night adder]

@vivid hedge Unsure, but I do know Vortex just overcomplicates NMS mods. What's the software version of the term "plug & play"? Because you basically just drop pak files in the proper folder and mods activate properly lol.

[vale iron]

Yeah, most of us recommend not using Vortex, but you should be able to launch through Steam, as Vortex should just be putting the pak where it's supposed to go

[vivid hedge]

can someone help

hyper hyperdrive mod is not working

[fresh arch]

Has it been updated for the latest game version?

[vivid hedge]

nvm it works now

i deleted some mod that could make conflict with that mod

[solid hawk]

Lyravegas freighter tweaks has that as one of the options. Has to be created from the lua after editing to enable/disable options. All documented in the lua. Extends the build box onto the bridge. Be aware this makes the box big enough to reach some portions of the hangar, but if you attempt to build there it will crash the game.

[low condor]

Oooh it looks nice, I wish it was in the real game cus I’m in ps

[hearty wasp]

it's in my real game

I'm not playing on a pirated copy or anything

[low condor]

I mean like not modded, like a real update cus I think adding mods on ps would be very hard

[fresh arch]

Sony does not allow external assets to be used in modding

So in case of Gumsk's freighters, it's not very hard, it's plain not possible

[twilit nova]

can you use save editor to get all glyphs?

[dawn mulch]

hey guys, is it possible to use mods and still play on multiplayer?

[hearty wasp]

yes

[hearty wasp]

should be able to

[twilit nova]

hm

I downloaded nms on ms store

can i still use it?

and how do i get it

found it in pins

[dawn mulch]

like any mod? no limits? including ones like everything is s class ect

[twilit nova]

idk where the save file is

can anyone help me find out where the save file is?

I cant find it

hey @hearty wasp sorry to ping you but where would I find the save file

from microsoft store

Yes

[twilit nova]

oh ok thanks

[hearty wasp]

^ @twilit nova

[twilit nova]

im in the wgs folder

what folder is next

[fallow meadow]

One with a rather long alphanumeric name. Should have the containers file in it

[twilit nova]

ok

is containers the save file?

[fallow meadow]

Once there, just select to open it, should then show saves in the dropdown

[night adder]

@dawn mulch There are mods that will make playing coop MP somewhat screwy, but they wont prevent it - trying to play onplanet when 1 person sees a lake and the other a mountain kinda prevents coop base building, ya know?

[twilit nova]

ok

what do i use to open the containers.index file

[dawn mulch]

yeah thats the type of thing i would expect, it just seems unusual to allow modded players to playwith non mod, but its not pvp so guess it doesn't matter really

[twilit nova]

@fallow meadow

[hearty wasp]

If you need more info just read the pins

[fallow meadow]

Nothing, the save editor should by then recognise the location to contain saves

[twilit nova]

it didnt work though

its container.index right?

[fallow meadow]

You are using NMSSE?

[twilit nova]

yes

[hearty wasp]

No

[twilit nova]

then what is it

[fallow meadow]

It is the location where the container.index is present. No need to go deeper into it

[twilit nova]

ohhhhh

ok

[fallow meadow]

Got it?

[twilit nova]

it still says no file selected

[fallow meadow]

Check the dropdown, does it show save slots present?

[twilit nova]

one sec

ohh

thanks

I got it

[fallow meadow]

The field itself remains empty from what I know, until you select a save

(will have another look though, as there have been quite a few changes)

Still the same, it shows the path once selected, but the slot and file fields remain empty, making it hard to distinguish if you selected the path correctly

And yes wgs itself is still one step from where it recognises the saves to be

[trail patio]

Is there someone that is working in a Lightsaber Mod?

[vale iron]

No, that might not be possible

[trail patio]

Why?

[vale iron]

There's nothing to base it on, you'd be trying to add completely new mechanics, animations, graphics

[trail patio]

Oh, true . Kinda unfortunate. Me and my friend are Star wars Fans and i would he cool to have it ingame

[fallow meadow]

Agree 🤪

[trail patio]

Wow, cool base

[fallow meadow]

Might actually be present in the #nmscord-hub

[ember harbor]

how does one make their freighter crew apollo :b

without downloading mods

[vale iron]

Why would you ask in the modding channel how to do something specifically without using mods?

[ember harbor]

cuz i was told to ask here xD

i made my crew the 4th race

but it all the same NPC

Plus messing with files without downloading mods id say is modifying the game

[fallow meadow]

the 4th race you were referencing changes with the seed. To get Apollo, you need a different path reference to use in the save data:
MODELS\PLANETS\NPCS\FOURTHRACE\HOLOSCEPTIC.SCENE.MBIN

That is also where you find NULL, the lighbulb one, and Artemis, all by diff scene names. The QS bot is in yet another location. Nada and Polo are also somewhere else, but diff versions exist too (old vs new Anomaly)

[ember harbor]

okay thank you ill try it

i dont like these ones much and i musta done something wrong because i cant interact with them

[fallow meadow]

The interactions they can have are inherited with the model, which can lead to issues or at least no longer being able to get the expected interactions.

You can easily lose Frigate Fleet interaction with most replacements.

[ember harbor]

i had apollo as my main combat frigate but i accidently deleted it

[fallow meadow]

Oh and the freighter captain as well now, considering it has some options too since a while

I used Nada as freighter NPC crew for a long time. I now have Nada, Polo, Artemis and the QS bot as squad pilots.

[ember harbor]

i jus been messing around with the files not knowing what i doing i glad i havent broken the save, aye thats cool as did you need mods ?

[fallow meadow]

Using them as Squad pilots is less of an issue for that matter

No, I usually do not use mods

[ember harbor]

i never used a mod in any game before lol

i jus like playing with files

[fallow meadow]

Do make sure to have a backup of your saves though. Save Editor is cool, but also very powerful. Can ruin your fun 'both' ways

(should create a backup as you make changes, but best to rely on your own)

[ember harbor]

i jus save my source code in note pad before messing with it so if it goes wrong i can put it back haha, i dont get a leg up with editing i jus like changing what things look like

[fallow meadow]

Can do quite a few things for that matter, although quite different from actual modding.

[ember harbor]

i dont know what i doing so i havent messed with to much, when i do it right i am surpizedxD alot of the time i make things invisible so i guess the program couldnt read what i did

[fallow meadow]

Sometimes it uses a default, other times it bugs out, or has unexpected behaviour. Some changes are forced within a limit. Some changes are not accepted at all

Some simple change can have results you are not aware of, like having issues with MP to function properly after having set your 'shield' value out of expected range

[ember harbor]

it wont let me put that in haha

[fallow meadow]

As freighter crew?

[ember harbor]

yeah

[fallow meadow]

Hmmm, let me check

[ember harbor]

yeah if it doesnt work it disappears or goes back to default XD

i use

MODELS/COMMON/PLAYER/PLAYERCHARACTER/NPCFOURTH.SCENE.MBIN

but i cant control which NPC it is

[fallow meadow]

You have no 'real' control as it uses a seeded value to accompany the path

[ember harbor]

is it the seed stuck in ?

[supple hill]

does anybody know if someone on PC can mod me expedition cosmetics like that darth vader one?

or can someone trade me a custom colored ship? or does custom coloring only show up for the person modding?

[ember harbor]

how did you get nada as a squad XD i wish i was smart with coding

[ember harbor]

everyone can see the color

[fallow meadow]

Apollo is not part of the possibilities for that path. You can get the random NPC heads though and a variety of colours etc. Even the new bucket helm is part of it now as well as capes for those

[ember harbor]

but apon selling it reverts

[ember harbor]

i guess you cant do what isnt in the program sadly xD

like this black for other people but if it is sold it reverts

[supple hill]

can someone give me a ship through modding and bypass the selling process?

[ember harbor]

i dont know anything about modding jus Json

but i suppose you can go to the system the ship was from

[fallow meadow]

Depends how it was modified, but the default seeded ones are hard to get with a proper black colour. So many will use the alternative, which is also not MP compatible

[ember harbor]

when you mess with a color the systems seed changes too

[fallow meadow]

Seeded ships can be given, but they'll re-roll stats and lose inventory to be default as well

[ember harbor]

so if your friend messes with a color you could possibly go to that system and get the ship

[supple hill]

that’s totally okay i can reset that all of that

all the stats and stuff

[ember harbor]

that white hauler used to be red lol

i ruined it messing around

[supple hill]

damn that’s crazy. are you also able to physically change ships too? like wing types and engines?

[fallow meadow]

[ember harbor]

i mean you can take everything away but the cockpit

just have a cockpit flying around lo

[dusk saffron]

is this was it originally looked like? That is gorgeous

[fallow meadow]

Good source of anything somewhat custom or bruteforce seeding to get something you like within the range of what is possible

[supple hill]

well i actually wanted a custom shop with certain parts that is really rare to find. A firespray explorer with curved tie wings

[ember harbor]

this ship before and after Json edit, this too was an accident

[ember harbor]

yes i was thinking of selling my hauler to revert OG lookes way better

[supple hill]

like this

[ember harbor]

i was trying to see if interceptors could change color but accidently hit my fighter and haullr

[fallow meadow]

The discord I linked above, is a good place for you to check

@ember harbor Let me check Apollo as Freighter crew

[ember harbor]

okay

[supple hill]

how does that work ? it seems cool

[ember harbor]

i seen some poeple color their ships like the golden vector

[supple hill]

i’m on console

[ember harbor]

i don't know how to do it on console other then moving game files onto a USB and messing with it on PC but i dunno

you can color Multitools the same way as ships but i wouldn't, it can go wrong badly

[fallow meadow]

Depends on what console you are using.

Unexpected result, I may have used the wrong scene

[ember harbor]

it also tries to remove all the / with that Source code

[fallow meadow]

Ah yes, I see I used the wrong slash in that path I posted earlier. Keep forgetting NMS uses the forward slash

[ember harbor]

that server you posted looks to fancy for me to understand xD

[marsh eagle]

Console players can use the free service bot that delivers ships (by seed) full automated https://nms.center/ServiceBot

[ember harbor]

now imma be up all night tryna learn xD

[fallow meadow]

Something appears to have changed, and I am not yet sure what. I was not even aware that Apollo had different options, but I keep getting fourth race types instead.

This is what it should be, but I get all sorts of these ...

[ember harbor]

yeah thats who i getting too

[fallow meadow]

I guess something changed with those models as well, which I did not expect

Nada still works fine though

[ember harbor]

ayeeee

does that mean there is 3 Nada's in your ship haha

5

[fallow meadow]

say hi

Ahuh, when using that to change model, you always end up with several

Something has changed with Waypoint when it comes to some of the models.

[ember harbor]

how you get nada is he is own civilization code xD

[fallow meadow]

I don't think I have Apollo anymore :(

Nada path = MODELS/COMMON/PLAYER/PLAYERCHARACTER/NPCNADA.SCENE.MBIN

[ember harbor]

i accidently removed appolo 😭

[fallow meadow]

CurrentFreighterNPC for crew, but for the others it is in the Squadron data

[ember harbor]

little guy jus chilling in my room, all my NPC's have a private room but they don go in them xD

that two eyed one a cute robot

[fallow meadow]

SquadronPilots, changing path for the top reference, I think it's called NPCResource in there?

[ember harbor]

yeah its called NPCResource

[fallow meadow]

Ok, so yes, looks like the others like Apollo and Null are now seeded too, with likely specific seeds in source to be found. I recall having come across those.

[trail patio]

Is it easy to create a Mod for NMS

?

[ember harbor]

so for Apollo it be like

MODELS/COMMON/PLAYER/PLAYERCHARACTER/NPCAPOLLO.SCENE.MBIN

?

[fallow meadow]

No, does not exist

They are part of the 4th procgen now, using seeds. Some are found in the creative discord. Not sure we found the specific seeds, which used to be here:
METADATA\SIMULATION\NPCS\NPCSPAWNTABLE.MBIN in source files. Have not messed with it much since this change

[dusk saffron]

wonder if dimxjohnny knows the seed

[fallow meadow]

I bet they have a few at least close, but possibly some varying colours otherwise. Not sure actual 'source' seeds were found

[ember harbor]

hmmm intresting, i jus think its cool you can mess with it XD some times its funner then the game :b

[dusk saffron]

@ember harborI love playing pure permadeath games for the challenge, and I love learning the editor and json stuff for a different challenge

[ember harbor]

Yeah i completed the tasks and jus been roaming so i jus been messing with things haha

i dont think ill do permadeath if i lost everything id jus not like the game anymore xD

[dusk saffron]

I do disposable saves, I started one yesterday, til it got easy, deleted it this mroning

[ember harbor]

i spend more time looking for animals then anything else

decided to create one it wasnt pretty .-.

ITS ALIIVE

[night adder]

Created fauna can be purdy lol

[ember harbor]

that looks neat as

[fallow meadow]

birb

[vivid hedge]

how do i skip glitched mission

[ember harbor]

the stats xD

[vivid hedge]

with save editor

this mission

[fallow meadow]

The general process for attempting to fix is described here (pinned):
<#nms-modding message>
How is your mission glitched though?

[vivid hedge]

i completed like 10 missions already

in that mission board

i also entered black hole for the atlas mission

[fallow meadow]

Not sure, but it needs to be specific to the race (Gek), and may have to check other Space Stations to find the right ones.

[vivid hedge]

cant

the mission guy was marked

i tried going to other systems

but it didnt work

it had to be the same guy in the same station

[ember harbor]

is it possbile to restart that mission to a new area

[vivid hedge]

where i talked to cartographer

[vivid hedge]

no

its main mission

[ember harbor]

i thought all missions could be set to a new area

[dusk saffron]

As far as I remember, You can complete missions that are specified for Gek status at any station to fulfill that section.

[sullen vigil]

where'd you get that helmet?

[fresh arch]

It's the solar helmet, it's in the game files but not accessible to players

You will need to use save editor or mods to get it

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/853

[lime mesa]

Is this normal on a non modded save?

Today i was looking around the carrier and I have like 3 iterations as comanders

[fallow meadow]

It is modified using a save editor, not through mods, but not default none the less

[lime mesa]

But... I didnt edit nothing from my game

[fallow meadow]

You will see some of the bridge crew be all the same model. In my case it uses a model you would normally not get

You will have the captain, the frigate fleet commander, the 2 sitting left of the captain and one crew member upstairs, always all using the same model. I changed the model and all 5 change

[lime mesa]

Sorry, but im not native so im having a little trouble understanding. So its normal to have some iterations as crew npcs, but not the ones u get

[fallow meadow]

Correct. When you find a freighter and purchase it, the crew that comes with it, is getting 'seeded' with a model to use for those specific crew members

[fresh arch]

It is possible to see Traveller NPCs walking around in the base portion of your freighter as captains of frigates you own, it's a bug

But not on the bridge / deck area

[fallow meadow]

Squad pilots are part of the roaming NPCs in the freighter base, which are separate from the main crew.

[fresh arch]

Oh are they? Didn't know, don't have a squadron, thanks

[fallow meadow]

@lime mesa Main thing to remember in case you wish to try save editing to achieve things like this, is to make a backup, just in case you do something wrong

[fallow meadow]

Yes, some of the crew you see pictures of above, are actually there because of swapped path references for Squad Pilots

[fresh arch]

I assume it's just a model change and it doesn't affect stats?

[fallow meadow]

Yes, I don't recall this affecting the rolled stats that come with the seed, although some models will require a specific seed, in which case I can see it possibly change.

Their name changes, somewhat reflecting the NPC in some cases, like Nada being 'Priest Entity'

[fallow meadow]

Ah yes, there is a 'TraitSeed' and 'PilotRank', which basically sets the traits and rank respectively

[bronze sun]

hello there, who can explain about new update of save editor? where is switch rewards?)

[fallow meadow]

Polo doing well, but Nada is terrible ... but those stats can be altered separately. Not that it matters, much, if at all

[fallow meadow]

You mean where to get the special ship and multi-tool that Switch pre-order came with?

[bronze sun]

yup) i saw it is in new save editor version

[fallow meadow]

Yes, 'Account' Data, which will unlock it if you check the boxes

[fresh arch]

Polo is doing well
You mean intoxicated

[fallow meadow]

Make sure to go offline when loading the game to get these rewards

[bronze sun]

boxes? what is the boxes?

[fallow meadow]

Once you have them, you're good. I think they work the same as Twitch Rewards

☑️

Those checkmarks. You have them checked, so you should be able to get them

[vivid hedge]

where do u modify their skills

[fallow meadow]

PlayerStateData > SquadronPilots > [x] > TraitSeed

Where x is the index value of the pilot and the seed is a hexadecimal string, so "0x123456ABCDEF" or alike

Change the seed, and the traits will change. The good ones from above use this seed in my case: "0x22F082E7519FF036"

[vivid hedge]

oh ok

thanks

[fallow meadow]

PilotRank is right below the TraitSeed in the raw JSON editor and uses a decimal value for class, where 3 is S-class

so 0 (C), 1 (B), 2 (A), and 3 (S)

[bronze sun]

aaand nothing((

[fallow meadow]

Let me try and see what it does

[bronze sun]

ofc

[fallow meadow]

You did go offline before loading the game and visiting the Anomaly?

[bronze sun]

twitch rewards is working so yeah

ok i found

save editor isnt working

each time i restart him, he showing that boxes empty, nmv if i fill them few secs before and just reload the program without turn game on

[fallow meadow]

When you switch to a different section after checking the boxes, it asks to save

[bronze sun]

yup, i am saving

[fallow meadow]

I am still trying to find out when and where to get the rewards.

Normally you only get it when you reach the Anomaly for the first time I think

Maybe it does not work, or I am not seeing it, or perhaps I already have all ship slots. I am still investigating and let you know

[bronze sun]

well, good luck to you)

[next lily]

anyone have a modded pet egg that theyd be willing to trade or give away?

[fresh arch]

Lol, I recommended you to go to modding to learn how to use save editor

Not ask for someone to use it for you

[night adder]

@fresh arch Theres a fair amount more to save editing custom pets than most things, so youre more likely to find someone willing to deliver than they are to teach.

[fresh arch]

They were asking on how to get sandworm egg in general channel

Do you need some special know how to put that in your inventory?

[glass gate]

Is there any mod that lets you use gas/mineral extractors anywhere?

[ember harbor]

is Helios just Helios or IterationHelios

[spare tusk]

just install 4 QOL mod and only one works. any idea how i solve the order ?

[fallow meadow]

Here is a link to load order, with last in list, being sure to load fully
#nms-modding message
This would not necessarily fix the issue, but I have suggested other solutions (AMUMSS)

[green prairie]

load order won't matter unless it's a patch or you want a mod to replace something from other on purpose

so the issue is most likely the mods conflict because they change the same file, so the last loaded wins

which means you need to check if they are conflicting and merge them

[twilit nova]

Idea for a mod maker to make something broken down edition
Change animation of punch thing to be a swing
Add a model of lightsaber to hand
Done you have a lightsaber mod for NMS

[whole hornet]

Sure got a huge amount is there anything you are looking for specifically?

[mint wagon]

I checked the pin but didn't see a list of recommanded mods, I'd like to mod the game to have better immersion, textures, more plants, beautiful water, skies, etc. :°

[next lily]

Looking for something really big, a sandworm would be cool but if not maybe a bird/eagle?

[fresh arch]

That's because modding is a highly subjective topic, each player having their own preferences

And all of the folks outside PC not being able to use mods doesn't help

ArghWater is probably the most popular mod that everyone agrees on

Duda Sky Colours is a comprehensive collection of visual mods

Lo2k makes a metric fuckton of small QoL improvements

[mint wagon]

Thanks for those suggestions 🙂

[fresh arch]

Gumsk does a ton of mods that enhance gameplay and add new models of ships, freighters if that's your thing

[mint wagon]

Is better planet generation still working ?

[fresh arch]

Just remember to look for the mods that were updated recently or fresh releases

So no BPG

[mint wagon]

Ok ok ty

Rip, screenshots were good

[fresh arch]

The bigger the scope of the mod, the harder is it to keep it updated throughout all the game updates

[meager coyote]

Anybody know of a mod to enable head tracking (TrackIR/Tobii)?

[fresh arch]

[little salmon]

more of a tea guy myself lol

[lime mesa]

Understandable

[compact bear]

If I change my ship seed it will just change the model right? And others can see the new model?

[night adder]

It will change model, core maneuverability, and base dmg, and yes, others can see it. @compact bear

[compact bear]

Will the things I’ve put on it remain?

And inv slots?

Yep

Question I'm trying to figure out how to install and get this up and running when I get home tonight the on there that says Xbox game pass that applies to me too using PC Microsoft version still Xbox correct

Keep in mind when it comes to my computer Kung Fu I am way out a date like Windows 98 out of date

[lime mesa]

Is anyone able to get blender files for the different ship parts?

I already have one for interceptors

[hearty wasp]

It all requires manual conversion man

I know of a person who's been dling it in the modding discord but as you said it's only for the new ship

And the gun I think

[spring burrow]

can anyone DM me and help me out with getting mods on my game with Vortex? I cant figure out the problem im having

[spring burrow]

nvm figured it out :)

[solid hawk]

In general, vortex use with nms is discouraged. Has issues.

[white vine]

does having mods affect multiplayer ability?

[fresh arch]

Yes and no

No as in you can still play multiplayer with mods enabled

Yes as in some effects of mods are visible in MP while others are not

You can find more detailed info in pinned messages

[full bay]

have i downloaded amumss correctly?

because its showing this

[fresh arch]

It tells you the possible causes in the window

Check out this guide: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2626

[full bay]

okay

[full bay]

it is showing this to me what to do

@fresh arch

i followed th exact steps and restarted

and also i cant see ". bat" all is see the suffix before it

[fresh arch]

The terminal says "press any key to continue"

So do that

There are multiple steps to be checked

Till you see "ready to go"

As for extensions, you dont see them because you need to enable them first in Windows Explorer properties

[full bay]

well i use 7zip so it automatically enables them as far as i know

[fresh arch]

7zip is not Windows Explorer

Again, terminal tells you what to do

Have you checked your AV?

Maybe it moved some files to quarantine

[full bay]

i have added exception

[fresh arch]

Then try the other tips

[full bay]

how do i do this..i cant understand

[fresh arch]

https://www.howtogeek.com/205086/beginner-how-to-make-windows-show-file-extensions/

[full bay]

which one is MBINCompilerDownloader folder

[full bay]

i have checked all only this one remains... which folder is it 💀

do i have to download it externally or something i cant find the folder

[fresh arch]

No, AMUMSS will download it automatically

Check if your D:\NMS modding\amumss folder isn't set to read only

[full bay]

yea it seems so

i unchecked

but whenever i am uncheking >apply>ok it is still showing read only

[fresh arch]

Still try restarting the buildmod.bat

Or test amumss install bat

Whichever you were using before

[full bay]

i cliked on check conflicts and it is doing this now..lets hope it works T_T

[fresh arch]

You can forget about Better Planet Generation mod

It was not updated for the current version of the game

[full bay]

ohh

well it show no conflict found....what to do now

[fresh arch]

Go to Nexus Mods, sort by Recently Updated or new mods

Nothing, because 1) those mods are not conflicting 2) BPG will not work

[full bay]

hmm

it is still showing the same oof

[fresh arch]

Remove Better Planet Generation from the MODS folder

[full bay]

done

[full bay]

even in here it is showing this

[fresh arch]

I have no idea, something's wonky on your side

You need to have full access to folder you have AMUMSS in

You have to figure this one yourself why the folder is stuck at read-only

Or what your AV is doing

[full bay]

hmm alright ill try

[urban vine]

Okay I think I'm ready to try and install and figure out this whole Save Editor thing I have a question for you guys that know more about it than I will ever know the one I've been watching a video about is called I believe nom nom are along those lines is this one still active and up-to-date

[pure mulch]

no

[urban vine]

I just don't want to screw up my save and the only thing I'm trying to do is get the old expansion rewards I must have the Normandy

[pure mulch]

NomNom hasnt been updated in a while

[urban vine]

So which one should I look for then and hopefully installing and getting it up and running is similar to the nom nom

[pure mulch]

its in the process of being updated, but nobody except the author knows when. Most uptodate save editor is Goatfungus

[urban vine]

And that'll work for my version of the game PC through the Microsoft store so technically Xbox if I'm right

[pure mulch]

not sure about that, im on steam

[urban vine]

The only reason I was watching videos on the other one is because it's the only videos I could find on how to get it up and running and installed 4 xbox

[pure mulch]

No Man's Sky - INTERCEPTOR (PC/Xbox/PS4) thats what it says under compatibilty, but as I dont have an active xbox sub, i cant say 100%

[urban vine]

Thank you for the info Just means I need to do more research Yay research

[pure mulch]

I cant think of anyone off top of my head who uses xbox, but thats not saying much

[rapid sandal]

The Game Pass version on the PC is not the same as the XBox. The Game Pass version exists on the PC, and the save files are on the PC, it has nothing to do with the XBox other than the Game Pass sub that allows you to install on the PC. The save locations are:
Steam:
%appdata%\HelloGames\NMS\st_<Steam64ID>...
Game Pass:
%LocalAppData%\Packages\HelloGames.NoMansSky_bs190hzg1sesy\SystemAppData\wgs...
GoG:
%appdata%\HelloGames\NMS\DefaultUser...
Linux (Steam):
$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/275850/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Application Data/HelloGames/NMS/st_<Steam64ID>/...
The files used to be plain json but now seem to be partially compressed, I think the 3 PC versions use the same format. So if the GF save editor can deal with the steam saves then I'd expect it to work w/ the game pass ones, but I haven't tested it yet.

[rapid sandal]

Just tested the latest GF save editor w/ Game Pass. Unfortunately it doesn't look for the GP path, only the steam one. Also, you can't manually select the GP save file as it doesn't have an extension the app recognizes. When I rename the save file (add.hg extension) I can select it but it doesn't seem to do anything with it (no error, no data). 🤷‍♂️ I'm guessing these would be minor changes in the code, but would have to wait for GF to make them.

[urban vine]

It's all right apparently Nom Nom is going to be getting updated soon enough someone was telling me they said the guy that did it's probably taking his time on this update cuz the last one he rushed out and had bugs

[rapid sandal]

I got GF save editor to load my Game Pass save, here's the folder I had to select ... your user and wgs sub-folders will of course be different, but there should only be one wgs subfolder that looks like mine.

[magic lava]

Both the editors support Gamepass

[urban vine]

[urban vine]

You are officially my hero of the month thank you very much it worked I finally have my damn Normandy SR1 it's so shiny

[weak stone]

you can have a whole fleet of SR1s haha

@round sinew aww look at you driving for Fire's mod cover photo

[frank lance]

Anyone know of any mods to show module stats when they've been uninstalled? Its a pain in the ass to have to install modules to remember what stats they have and compare them that way

[steady plover]

How to convert my same to permadeath..i did it before idk how to do it again. 🤔

[night adder]

@steady plover Likely takes a JSON edit now, used to just change the version number, but now you need to make sure difficulty settings line up too

[steady plover]

Yeah i thought so.

😔

Earlier all it took was just some mode change button

[sonic yoke]

Have there been additions to the CreatureID list?

[fresh arch]

Has there been an update to the game since the last time you wanted a corrupted Sentinel pet?

[sonic yoke]

No.

[fresh arch]

There's your answer

[sonic yoke]

Uhm ok.

What do you think The'll do next?

Maybe the stations?

Have there been new stuff found by datamining ?

[timid burrow]

Not that I know of, and even if it was this is a topic for #nms-spoilers 😉

[sonic yoke]

Oh thx.

[molten siren]

would it be possible to make a mod that lets bytebeat play external mp3 files instead of ingame sounds?

or does something like that maybe already exist?

[fresh arch]

Pretty sure it's not possible at the moment

NMS modding is fairly limited, adding new functionality like that is beyond the scope of what we can do

[full bay]

where is the downlaod button for save editor

[round sinew]

click on NMSSaveEditor.jar

[full bay]

ohh okay

[fresh arch]

Just scroll the description

[full bay]

what is diff in jar and exe?

[round sinew]

basically, in this case exe is a self extractable archive

[full bay]

i dont have ammums for bat file

[round sinew]

which will unpack - probably - a bat and the jar

[round sinew]

there's no need for amumss

[full bay]

ok

[round sinew]

you need to ensure that you've got the java runtime installed to run this editor

no matter which way it is launched

[full bay]

yep i have it

T_T

@round sinew imm gonna go sleep its 2am here . ill repot here tommorow. good night and thanks all of you for your time

[round sinew]

have a good night, sorry this happened

[full bay]

T_T👍

[molten siren]

ah ok
thanks!

[opaque scroll]

Does anyone know the mod that fixes the lag spike when you leave a planet?

[rapid sandal]

Some believe that if you run some files unpacked, or repack w/ no compression, it can speed it up. I tried that but didn't notice a difference, but maybe because I'm using an SSD vs HDD. it also seems to work better/worse for different game releases 🤷‍♂️
Is it this one you are thinking of: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2672

[full bay]

@round sinew it seems that i was really in space anomally

well i dont play multiplayer but maybe who knows whats the problem

so how do i change my save?

ok so idk how but after someone clicking stuff here and there is workin now

[round sinew]

advice: never exit the game in the anomaly

[full bay]

yeah got that engraived in my mind all right💀

[indigo tangle]

is there a mod that makes ship stop circiling around you when in combat it makes combat annoying af without lock on

[unborn urchin]

@silk surge Not all mods are cheaty, if that's what you're afraid of. And depending on your mod choices, you needn't worry about your game breaking with any new updates that break the mods. For example, a base building mod (that does not add new parts) can be activated only during the building process, and once stuff has been placed, it will stay there even if you deactivate it, for example after an update

[smoky obsidian]

Is modding in this game worth it?

[dusk saffron]

you're asking in an active channel of people creating and/or using mods? what answers are you expecting? 🙂

[hearty wasp]

Sean Murray haunt my dreams what do you think

[smoky obsidian]

Well I'm not sure I wanna hear what people's thoughts are

I wanna hear if there are any mods that enhance the gameplay and immersion not just cheat mods

[night adder]

@smoky obsidian There are

A number of mods enhance the graphics in various ways, and there are also a number of qol mods

i eventually fixed my game

Yeah you were right... looks like the mod was Better Planet Generation. Bummer cuz thats the only one I really wanted to see.

If I have mods enabled I can still play multiplayer with friends right

[simple oracle]

yea

i think i forget its been awhile since iv played with someone on this game

turns out it gets lonely fast

[solid hawk]

Hasn't been updated for latest. General rule of thumb, nms updates break mods. Any that haven't been updated to latest major version will most likely freeze or crash the game.

[ebon bridge]

are there any mods that just, make all expedition rewards available to claim?

[fresh arch]

Yeah, Nexus Mods, sort by last updated or recently released mods

As Babs said, assume every mod that is not updated to 4.23 can cause issues with the game

Also please don't give us crap about obnoxious commentary, general questions deserve general answers.

Enhancing the gameplay is so broad of a term it can be interpreted in many ways. Some see that as flying the Tie Fighter, some see that as just changing the colour palette of the game a bit, some others want a rework of loot / rewards from different encounters

You get better answers if you ask directly about what you are interested in

[fresh arch]

Consumerism mod or use the save editor

Goatfunguns should be updated, not sure about the other ones, links are in pinned messages

[ebon bridge]

the CONSUMERISM mod is exactly what i needed, thank you

[faint kraken]

I posted in the wrong channel because I'm blind, but I'm not able to get my mods to work. I have gitems basic, gboundary 10k, deep space, and fine lod. I get the warning, but none of the mods work.

[vale iron]

Are the mods in Gamedata\mods or gamedata\pcbanks\mods?

[faint kraken]

They're in the pcbanks mods folder.

I got black space to work, but neither of your mods, sadly.

[fresh arch]

Can you show a screenshot of the mods folder?

[fresh arch]

You need PAK files, not LUA files

LUS files are only for AMUMSS program

Go back to Nexus Mods, download the PAK files for Gumsk mods

[vale iron]

They're all in the same zip, so should have them already

[devout lynx]

Is there any mods that gives you access to build right in space? Not near planet

[hearty wasp]

No

[devout lynx]

Sad

[hearty wasp]

Such is life

[pure mulch]

Thank goodness, crashing into unloaded, player orbit stations is bad enough

[smoky obsidian]

Are there any mods that create more variety in planet and creature generation?

[smoky obsidian]

...the obnoxious commentary was about youtubers lol I was referring to people being loud and obnoxious

Not you guys

[night adder]

@smoky obsidian Change variety, sure, add new variety, not so much

[smoky obsidian]

That one that adds 4 new locations, is that not compatible?

[night adder]

Unsure, I dont actually use mods, just have general knowledge

[earnest nacelle]

hai uh someone said they heard about a mod that allows you to build further than the standard 300u distance, does anyone know which mod?

[fresh arch]

It's called expanding the base radius and you don't need mods for that

Check out pinned messages in #nms-questions channel

[faint kraken]

Thanks, I'm an idiot. ❤️

Wasn't looking at the extensions

[shadow lance]

Anyone know if it's possible to reset Atlas path progress in the json?

And if so, what the ID for the mission line is?

[timid burrow]

It is possible but I've not played with it.

[shadow lance]

kk, I'll keep looking or make a new save and check things listed as I go to determine and then dive right in. I have backups anyway so

[steady plover]

Where to look in save editor for base part count.

Anyone?

[fresh arch]

I think there was a script for that?

https://github.com/weasel-nms/NMS-base-part-count

@twilit smelt this your work, right?

[steady plover]

I counted base parts from save editor as well

I counted base parts from save editor as well

Nvm i got it

Goatfungus bases and storage...it shows there

[dusk saffron]

in JSON?

[steady plover]

No it's outside in updated version

Normal tab

[dusk saffron]

whoa, there it is, cool addition

only per base, though, not cumulative

[steady plover]

Yeah... Well they need to leave something for Mr. Smartphone or Calculator

😆

[dusk saffron]

LOL

[twilit smelt]

Yep. Does require exported JSON from editor.

[twilit smelt]

Right - no need for the script if you only need the parts counted for one base or are willing to do some math, or if you don't need the types of parts broken down for an individual base.

[dusk summit]

Should gGame Gameplay Full 420a cause Portals to never need to be recharged after the first time?
EDIT: Turns out it wasn't your mod causing the issue, it was this mod:
_hF_LivingFrigateSpawner

and...the problem I'm currently seeing with sentinels as well in my PermaDeath save?

odd bug in my Perma save. I can run from or fight ONE sentinel...but after that it goes from 1-star thru 5-stars in a matter of seconds...then deactivates. while I just wait for them to find me
It SAYS "Swarm multiplying" for a few seconds as each star-level is reached...then finally the planet is disabled.
So...I never get the chance to acquire a Heart because no Quads are appearing. Just that first floater
It's not any of my Combat settings that I can tell.
ALSO tested by just picking up a Gravitino ball and waiting for Sentinels to show up. They never do.

[sage zinc]

This isn't exactly modding at least not yet but I did create my own take on the venator type freighter I'm no man's sky my model has lore and everything and is apart of a bigger roleplay faction thing I'm building up.

Once I get myself a PC I'm thinking about working with a contact I know to help mod it into the game so lemme know what you guys think

[sonic patrol]

Any mods that let you use a Stargate down to planets?

[dusk summit]

I'm confused. Do you mean from your freighter to the planet?

there's a build-part for your freighter that lets you do that, you don't need a mod

[vale iron]

Thanks for the update. I didn't have time to respond this morning, but it had me baffled.

[vale iron]

It's definitely a good start. The shape and colors are good. The lights will make good emissives. You'll probably want some form of pattern on the hull, as when you increase the scale of a flat texture like that, it looks really weird.

I don't know what your model is built like, but it's easiest to implement the glow effect if all the lights are in a separated mesh. Also something to keep in mind for the engines, whatever those look like.

[sage zinc]

Oh I'm using on shape on a Chromebook I'll be getting a PC soon then I'll move into blender with lighting and textures and all that

[dusk summit]

odd side-effect for a Mod that should theoretically have nothing to do with planet-side operations

[tranquil forum]

When adding mods do i drop it in the mods folder that's already their or sum else?

[dusk saffron]

most mods have a readme that give good instructions

[tranquil forum]

yall use nexus right?

[fresh arch]

Yeah most mods are being published on Nexus Mods

But if you're asking if we use a mod manager like Vortex, then no

There is no need for that

[lime mesa]

Does Better Planet Generation work on the current version?

nvm evidently it's broken

[lime mesa]

What are some mods people would suggest? I quite like the planet generation overhauls that don’t just spam everything everywhere

[steel crypt]

Might not be what you're looking for, but DUD'S SKY - TERRA FIRMA is a voxelgen (land) mod. It also comes with "Natural Spawn" which makes slightly larger forest and plains areas. DUD'S SKY - COLORS adds a bunch of color and effect mods.
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2022
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/968

[lime mesa]

ooooo nice ok

[steel crypt]

There is a description page. It has a good overall description of the main idea of the mods.

[sly girder]

it should be possible to get the unix timestamp from that base comp code
Any idea where in NMSSE, exactly? :V

[round sinew]

edit, edit raw json, playerstatedata, persistentplayerbases,

[sly girder]

nice

[round sinew]

you can also check objects timestamps as well

[sly girder]

huh weird... Seems to show a different date than what i'd written down for some? 👀

73 being late 17th, though i already had 3 bases on the 18th?

though, could also be me messing up? Dunno

hmm, what would "ministation" be? 👀

[round sinew]

sorry not sure, but i think i'm correct when thinking that that lastmodified might not be the same date as the creation date

[round sinew]

i don't know that one either sorry

[sly girder]

doesnt matter either way, they havent been modified since they were created :V

i literally just dropped the computer, claimed, and left 👀

[spare chasm]

Are there any mods that improve performance and stability on lower end hardware like my laptop?

[solid hawk]

@spare chasm Best bet would be to go into options, graphics section, then dial stuff down. That's what I have to do. There is an Lua script to make a mod .pak to increase performance, no idea if it still works. Process through AMUMSS to generate the .pak.

[deft vortex]

hello all, I'd like to ask if I can move my saved game from xbox app to steam ? I'm planning to buy the game in steam, since I'm using a game pass in xbox app.

[fresh arch]

There are some instructions in pinned messages about save conversion

So maybe give it a shot?

[deft vortex]

sure, will check those out. Thank you!

[rich sequoia]

Can you play online with mods? Id assume probs not lol

[steel crypt]

This is a personal mod of mine, not published anywhere, but it gives me a few FPS.
It changes the LOD (Level of detail) settings and other placement settings for grass.
Might help a bit?

[steel crypt]

Yes, you can use mods in multi-player. There are no restrictions.

Just note that some mods will change your environment and not the environment of those that aren't using the mod.

[rich sequoia]

THATS SO COOL

so i could dl aesthetic and decor mods for base building?? :D

[steel crypt]

Yes. Just read mod descriptions. They hopefully will tell you how online is affected.
In most cases, mods are client facing (the user is the only one the mod affects). If 2 users use the same mod, they will see the same thing. There are rare exceptions.
One mod of mine...DUD'S SKY - COLORS is visual only mod if you're looking for aesthetic mods.

[rich sequoia]

Oooo sweet thank you so much!!✨🛸

[round sinew]

@rancid reef

To just straight up delete a base, you have to select the number on the left and make sure to <ctrl>+A on the right and delete, then select something else again on the left

thats under PlayerStateData in the Raw json editor

[rancid reef]

Ok , got that . You said something about endpoints ?

[rancid reef]

Bless you bk201 , you have saved me much

Now to build this more low and less orbit

[round sinew]

yeah; double check on a teleporter somewhere if you still see that base comp you just deleted. if you do, i think you also need to find it and delete it from here

[rancid reef]

Will do , many thanks again

[round sinew]

np

[sterile bloom]

anyway, @ember gull I think the save file changed at some point in 2018. Probably the august update, going by my backups...

[ember gull]

it seems Foundation and Atlas reworked storage

i just stumbled upon nmsretro and the legacy version installer. is this a legit thing?

@round sinew any insight on this project?

[magic lava]

Legit, by @rustic beacon

[ember gull]

thanks, i thought i recalled the name, but preferred to doublecheck before entering my steam credentials

[round sinew]

oops sorry missed this down here; yeah, afaik this is well known

was starting to look at the debug stuff leaked by fractal lol

[ember gull]

well, im installing 1.09 sp fingers crossed i get my 2016 save to finally load

[round sinew]

🤞

[rich sequoia]

i found the only mod ill ever need https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/367?tab=images&BH=0

so many options

[rustic beacon]

Fair enough, the whole project is open source if you have any concern’s entering in personal information as well. Also if you run into any problems getting old versions working feel free to ask on the discord

[ember gull]

thanks - as I have only tangential programming knowledge, doing a meaningful code review would be beyond my ability, so i felt more comfortable asking for prior exprience here

[sleek bane]

Is there a fix for the atmosphere freezing?

[light stump]

Anyone have info on how to use the base creator app?

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

[sage zinc]

Again this isn't technically modding yet but here's another NMS style ship I built

This is made on onshape on a Chromebook but once I get my PC I'll start using that and I'll finish all of my builds up there since I can adjust and add much more detail there

On blender specifically

From there after I finish up some more smaller details I'm hoping to mod it into no man's sky to go along with my faction roleplay the Red Federation.

⬛
I plan on creating a whole mini custom faction fleet with mods and Im thinking on expanding to custom weapons and more militarized custom exocraft.

[merry wasp]

i mena looking at the description it points to having their own discord

Updated PvP Dogfighting Ruleset

1. No procedural Weapon upgrade modules allowed
2. SC may not be used on base Weapon tech
3. Manual Shield recharging is disallowed
4. In Difficulty settings, both Damage Level and Enemy Strength set to Challenging

The experimental Fighter below features Hauler-strength Shields, Interceptor Agility, and Fighter Damage, with a Vesper Sail and atmospheric Maneuvering + Speed bonuses.
The Hauler Shields + Fighter Damage are as simple as reskinning an S-Class Hauler with Utopia Speeder, so it doesnt require save editing to build - the ship can be entirely built via reskins, the export is simply a shortcut. I believe this shall make for a much better balance in dogfights, and am seeking players to help test.

Experimental Civilized PvP Fighter export:

[muted dome]

Dose anyone here know how to make a custom ship

[night adder]

Yes

[muted dome]

Dm me please

[teal matrix]

Is there a way to save edit so that a pirate battle happens on like the next warp? I cant get one to happen.

[night adder]

@teal matrix Make sure space combat isnt set to None in Difficulty settings 1st

But yeah, you can edit raw JSON, set PlayerStateData\TimeLastFreighterBattle to 0, and add 5 Warps to WarpsLastFreighterBattle, iirc

[teal matrix]

Ah ok

[night adder]

There's also been mods made that change the reqs to 0, so you trigger a battle every warp to a non-uncharted

[teal matrix]

And so if I dont get the right freighter I just warp to a nearby system and repeat?

[hearty wasp]

Or you can just edit so your save after getting the first one so you can choose whatever freighter you want

[wise solstice]

is there a mod for sorting inventory?

[hearty wasp]

Can't

[merry wasp]

Just install ocd.exe onto brain.part

[rich sequoia]

is there a dalek sentinal mod??????

[solid hawk]

No

There is this though. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1011

[pulsar tinsel]

is there a mod that gves me a crosshair on the star map?

[vague bronze]

does the natural nights mod change the planet generation because i turned off the mod and the inside of my base is still pitch black (realized lights are decorational and now i cant rely on ambient light because turning off the mod did nothing)

[vague bronze]

nevermind i forgot to remove the lua file from the amumms folder

[umbral light]

I found a way to get all tech slots to be supercharged and how to get frigates to instantly complete expeditions with crazy rewards

[sonic patrol]

Does Rail gun exist for nms?

[south orbit]

Balista or javelin would be closest to rail gun but they shot "energy" not a projectile.

[noble umbra]

Is it possible to change my save from PD to Survival? I've grown attached to this run as I've ended up finding some good ships and my last 60 hour save was corrupted

[teal matrix]

Is save.hg the autosave or the restore point?

[night adder]

@teal matrix Autosave - odd #'s are Autos, evens are Restores

[stoic glen]

Yes

[fresh arch]

@vale iron check this out, your mod for better lighting on landing pads turns them into proper light sources

New base building meta when

[nova pollen]

any recommended mod for autosorting the inventory?

[night adder]

The one youre going to write?

[solid hawk]

None, doesn't exist

Nor is it currently possible to make

[scarlet tendon]

What color is my text

[nova pollen]

ohh that's too bad, most survival games need an autosort button anyway otherwise keeping the inventory organized is a bit of a pain

[solid hawk]

Yeah, that'd be something HelloGames would need to add into the exe itself.

[tame siren]

I forgot how to merge same-file mods

[fresh arch]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2626

[tame siren]

It said not to make a patch if I have the LUA files

[fresh arch]

Then you can put both LUAs in the ModScript folder and run BUILDMOD to create a combined PAK

[tame siren]

Oooh, okay, I thought that was the patch

It's been months since the last time I did any NMS modding, I forgot most everything, apparently

👀 Oh hey, I think it worked...

[solid hawk]

Nice. 🙂

[tame siren]

'Approximate location' is the worst function added to NMS since snap-to-ladders

[nova pollen]

this mod doesnt work anymore (it crashes while loading the savegame), is there an alternative mod for better LOD? https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1181?tab=posts

[fresh arch]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2125?tab=description - this one maybe?

[teal matrix]

Is there a way to save edit so that the atlas path mission appears?

[nova pollen]

funny how it's a bag of many many things\

[solid hawk]

Most mods older than current major version (currently 4.2x, since Apr 2023) will crash the game.

Older mods are retained on NexusMods for those who choose to run legacy versions of NMS.

Need help: Is there a way to programmatically extract base information from nms?
an API or something, since there is an online discovery service that we upload data to?

[hearty wasp]

To do what

[lime mesa]

to do anything with it, like create a better filter yourself, find what items are on which base etc. Currently I just wanted to know where I left my mining setup lol
