[lime mesa]

Thanks for the help

[forest heath]

Is there a mod out there that just shows you what ships spawn in the system you’re currently in using the systems seed data?

Or is that not how seeds work in this game?

[vale iron]

There is not a mod for that. It's theoretically possible, I think, but would require a ton of work and is far outside reasonable bounds.

[stoic umbra]

Anybody know of any mods that would allow me to use the advanced technology tab while building on a freighter?

[fresh arch]

What exactly do you need to build?

Some of the technologies like teleporter or refiner are available as dedicated freighter rooms

[stoic umbra]

I wanted to build landing pads

Maybe you are not finding the location because 'Library' is a hidden folder. You can alternatively use 'Finder' and use CMD+Shift+G to paste the full path in the prompt, which requires to replace <yourname> of course

@robust bluff Alternatively, to show Library folder:

• Open Terminal and enter chflags nohidden ~Library. (unhides permanently)
• From Finder or desktop, hold down Option as you select the Go menu. Choose Library. (hides again aftter closing finder)
• From the Home folder in Finder, choose View > Show View Options, and select Show Library Folder. (OS X Mavericks +)

[robust bluff]

ok

says no such user or named directory: Library

[fallow meadow]

I am not a Mac user myself, so no ideaa. I have the info from here:
https://www.lifewire.com/os-x-is-hiding-your-library-folder-2260833

[robust bluff]

ok

[fallow meadow]

It just explains how to unhide the Library folder is a few ways. As for your save file location, <yourname> is your Mac username, while the last part uses your Steam64ID

[robust bluff]

FOUND MY SAVE FILES! NOW I JUST NEED TO UPLOAD IT JUST GOTTA FIGURE THAT OUT!!!!

GOT IT!! IT WORKS!!!

[fallow meadow]

Are you trying to edit your saves?

@robust bluff What did you manage to get to work?

[robust bluff]

editing saves! I got it to work! Thanks for your help!

[fallow meadow]

Ok, would you mind sharing your process, because I know NMSSE is not supporting Mac out of the box

So it just works when you use the correct folder, nothing special is needed?

[robust bluff]

Nope! yeah as long as you get library to show then go through application support to hello games, it works!

now that i got it to work, is there anyway for me to make a custom ship?

[fallow meadow]

Ok, that is good to know, and honestly not unexpected, just wasn't aware

I suggest you check the below discord for custom anything

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

[robust bluff]

how do i add items using goatfungus? Need some stuff and i dont know how to add items

[hearty wasp]

right click on inventory slot I think

should have a pop up

[robust bluff]

ok cool thanks

[robust bluff]

does anyone know the color of this ship so i can recreate it?

[marsh eagle]

Gold,yellow. Since there is only one of these layers you can't confuse them with other colors for exotics

[glass jasper]

Hey, I just found out about the "Snappy Industry" mod. Does anyone know if it works on and M1 Mac?

[hearty wasp]

people are still investigating the format of the Mac files

!moddinglink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/22ZAU9H

[hearty wasp]

there's a mod-mac channel in there if you're interested in the developments

[spark portal]

I don't know anything about modding, but I was wondering if there was a specific app or program that people typically use? I've heard people talking about save editing and was curious. If save editing is lumped into modding that is

[fresh arch]

For save editing you got either NomNom SE or Goatfungus SE (SE stands for save editor)

NomNom wasn't updated in quite some time, Goatfungus wasn't updated recently, but still can be used if you know what you're doing

You can find links to them in pinned messages

As for mods - you don't need to install any mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer to use mods

All you need is a bit of common sense, program lile 7zip to unpack archives and a file manager like Windows Explorer

For making mods, you will need the dedicated tools. PSarc and MBIN Compiler for decompiling game files and compiling mods into files

Those are used in more advanced that programs, which allow you to build mods from scripts, like AMUMSS (Lua scripts) or NMS Mod Builder (C# scripts I think, Im not sure I dont use it)

[spark portal]

Yeah I have no clue when it comes to SE so, probably wouldn't. lol. I wasn't sure if it was "easy" or something very time consuming to pick up

Actually making mods is a bit out of my league, haha

[fresh arch]

Both of them have a GUI to use, where you can select stuff like inventory items, installed tech, change the amounts / parameters, etc

[spark portal]

I would just use pre-made if I did

[fresh arch]

There should be screenshots in their respective githubs to illustrate the usage

[spark portal]

Cool ok, thank you for all the information! I really appreciate it 😊
I'm definitely going to have to look into all this further

[fresh arch]

You can start making mods in a more manual approach

Game files boil down to XML data tables

[spark portal]

The initial reason I was asking is because I was curious about "making" a pet that no longer exists in game from updates. But I didn't know if it was something I could do on my own by picking up how to SE. Or if I should just ask someone else who already knows what they're doing

[fresh arch]

Yeah no idea here, havent dealt with such stuff before

You can try asking in the modding discord, link was posted above

[robust bluff]

how do i put a freighter seed into my save editor and make it show up im using goatfungus

[fallow meadow]

There are 2 seed values it uses, Home Seed to control the colour, and Model Seed for the model itself. You can change these on your Freighter tab within the editor if you own one. Note that the Model Seed is often a slightly shorter hex value (0x...) compared to the Model Seed.

[robust bluff]

ok

[shy grove]

@fallow meadow I have a question about JSON editing. Is the only way for me to extract a JSON file to edit it (at least an Xbox save file), a save editor like Goatfungus? I'm assuming Nomnom is outdated so that's not an option. And I'm having issues with Goatfungus freezing whenever I try to edit the JSON for one of my saves. I'm curious if there's another app that'd be a decent alternative for editing my JSON so I can unlock this expo's rewards for a mini-side project I got (before I complete the expedition legit, without rushing through it).

[fallow meadow]

Oh and do not click the 'Generate' button, as many think that will actually 'set' the values you put in the fields. Instead, this is used to generate random seeds

[fallow meadow]

Hmm, those are the only Save Editors we have. Does not mean there are no other ways to do it, but I think it will only get more complicated to be honest, especially editing for re-use. There is some work done behind the scenes to make it even readable for us, as well as re-compressing again when you save after changes

@shy grove Is the freezing a new issue, or has it always been like that for you?

[shy grove]

That's what I was afraid of Do you think Goatfungus just needs to be updated for it to work with my save's JSON file properly?

[shy grove]

I think it's a new issue. But I haven't needed to update the JSON in a long time.

I've save edited that save just via regular save editor means.

Using its regular UI options.

[fallow meadow]

You should always keep the Save Editor up-to-date. Not sure it fixes the freezing, but those updates fix bugs and can be required to work properly with your saves.

[shy grove]

The save editor is whatever's latest on GitHub. I downloaded it twice to make extra sure. I couldn't even extract the JSON file. It keeps showing a 0KB file for it.

[fallow meadow]

But I haven't needed to update the JSON in a long time.
What exactly do you mean?

The JSON is the format of the save data used behind the scenes. The Save Editor is the tool created, which uses Java as a platform for the code it was made with

[shy grove]

JSON file editing is only required for some things, like right now, to unlock certain Singularity rewards. Most "save editing" I do doesn't revolve around me inspecting or editing the JSON. Like just unlocking blueprints which I can easily do via goatfungus' UI.

[fallow meadow]

AAnd yes, true, most often actual 'Raw JSON' editing is not required at all

Do you have any issues with the regular UI, with just the Raw JSON editing giving you freezes?

[shy grove]

Just the JSON file. It freezes up when I try to access this bit you provided info on that I pinned: #nms-modding message

As soon as I go to KnownSpecials, it freezes.

[fallow meadow]

If it is just the JSON editor giving you issues, we can troubleshoot that

Ok, that makes your issue a lot clearer to me

[shy grove]

I also can't export the JSON. As in, the JSON file outputted ends up being 0KB. So I can't edit it elsewhere

[fallow meadow]

Let's verify what Java version you are actually using?

[shy grove]

I haven't tried this with other save files mind you. Or on my Steam Deck. Only on my laptop, as I try to save edit my Xbox save.

[shy grove]

Whatever's latest. Whenever I'm prompted to update, I do. Let me check

v 8 Update 371 (build 1.8.0_371-b11)

[fallow meadow]

Ok, can you do the following:

• Open Control Panel (Windows)
• Then select Programs
• Then you should see Java

When you click it, it opens the Java Control Panel

Select the Java tab

Then click 'View'

[fallow meadow]

Ahuh, figured as much

x86 = 32-bit

Another way you could have seen this is by CMD prompt, to then use java -version as a command, which then fails to mention 64-bit as runtime envoronment

Anyways, let us fix that, because in 32-bit you are basically running out of memory

[shy grove]

i'm gonna be praying to the rain gods after this

[fallow meadow]

https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
Grab the offline 64-bit

Install and it should fix itself and use it instead

I bet you it fixes the freezing when trying to load your JSON

[shy grove]

[fallow meadow]

Export should then work too. It likely crashes or fails during export, ending up making it 0kb

[shy grove]

About to try it! Crossing fingers. Actually one more question, do I ever need to bother with the "Test Mode" option editing the RAW JSON.

[fallow meadow]

No, not required to be able to edit JSON. It does allow a few restrictions you will hardly ever need.

[shy grove]

Sweet! And yup! You did it! I wish I would've asked about this sooner. I just always assumed it'd be slow as fudge being a Java app.

[fallow meadow]

Not even sure what requires Test Mode to work in-game. In the past it was useful with amounts of slots for example.

[fallow meadow]

Yes, you should have asked ... way sooner

[shy grove]

Thank you sooooo much for helping clarify things and fix the issue. Whew! Time to make a fun silly music video for my ByteBeat compo. @south turtle's gonna be part of it. Lmk if you'd wanna join as well. Was gonna do it with my Steam Deck & my Xbox since I need 3 characters with the new expo robo outfits, dancing in sync.

[fallow meadow]

Can get it to work for 32-bit too, with some Java environment variables that forces more memory to be allocated ... but let's leave it at this 😉

[shy grove]

good point! i feel like a dummy not asking you sooner, seriously

[fallow meadow]

If you are really missing someone when you are about to create it, give me a ping.

[teal ivy]

Any way to find the seed on such a module?

He got it ranodmly

[vale iron]

Try here:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zencq/Pi/main/Weapon/UP_SCANX.csv

Hmm, I don't see any perfect ones. They must have changed the calculations since the list was made

[fast tinsel]

Do most people look down on the save editor? Im moving from my switch version to PC, and I don’t want to start all the way over

And would it affect my account in any way?

[obsidian tree]

FYI in case anyone here is affected by it: https://github.com/monkeyman192/MBINCompiler/issues/560
TLDR; If you are a modder: Just make sure you have .net 6 runtimes installed and you'll be all good

[fresh arch]

No they did not. This is not a module that spawns in the wild in the game. Notice the words Potential and Example of. This is the module that game generates for purpose of showing off in the Catalogue and Guide section of the game.

Not to mention having the insane luck to hit all 3 reward stats as perfect multiples of a thousand

[slate veldt]

Hey @waxen cedar do you recall the way to stop looping audio tracks?
I used to know it but can't recall now.

[waxen cedar]

hmm, was it <MUS>AUDIO_STOPALL<> or <MUS>AUDIO_STORY_STOPALL<>

would have to check. Can't remember it at the top of my head like this. Been a while since I fiddled with audio triggers

[slate veldt]

theres storymode_stopall but it didnt work for me

[waxen cedar]

some audios can't be stopped with the two command btw

[slate veldt]

yeah, i messed with a few of them to see if any would work.
trying to figure out how to stop all audio tracks to help a user out

[waxen cedar]

I won't be much help there sadly :c
Only know the storymode and general audio stop commands that don't do anything to some tracks

[hollow thicket]

guys, where are quicksilver items in nms save editor?

i see account tab but it only has seasonal rewards (expeditions), twitch ones and some two more things in a third list

I thought NMS just reads quicksilver items via other saves then, but I don't have as acquired items in the exoediiton save which I have purchased on my main one

[hearty wasp]

They're just products

So go to known products instead

Or just add them to your inventory directly if it's inventory item

[hollow thicket]

they're on certain saves

what makes them cross save then?

[teal ivy]

He opened the module on the live stream and the video is also on youtube

[hearty wasp]

nothing, they're not

shit locked in quicksilver shop are locked behind community milestones

the saves just individually unlock em after checking with server

[hybrid coral]

@tidal quail https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor

[tidal quail]

thanks

wow that tool is powerful

[hybrid coral]

with great power comes great responsibility - don't ruin the game for yourself

[tidal quail]

don't worry - i'm doing this on my testing/creative savefile xD

[solid hawk]

Who cares. You paid for the game, play it how you wish. HG doesn't care about use of save editor, so won't affect your account in any way. Now, if you run around mass griefing people in multiplayer, then HG would act. 🙂

[hearty wasp]

most people who would be in the #nms-modding channel would not

asking this question in the channel specifically made for people who're interested in it feels redundant

[gloomy verge]

I've completed all 10 expeditions, but changed PC in between. So now when I start a new game I only have expedition 9 and 10 rewards available, but not the rest. I found info about editing 'GCUSERSETTINGSDATA.MXML' file, to unlock it all back, but every time I edit the content, it gets overwritten from somewhere back to original state. I am confused now, if that would work like this and the original info is stored on Hello Games side, I should have access to everything. And if that is only local file, that is stored on my pc, then it should not get overwritten? Can anoyne help? thank you very much.

[round sinew]

to my knowledge this info gets stored in accountdata.hg, not gcusersettingsdata.mxml? but setting the file to read only after changes should probably prevent the game from modifying it, but that's not a permanent solution

[gloomy verge]

Hey. You do cover all of NMS discord with your helping advice? Good man :). I'm trying to get my unlocks working if possible for the future. I know there are options with NMS save editors and this offline thing, but that is a temporary solution, yes. Need to find something permanent and make backups of those files.

[hybrid coral]

Reclaim your previous Expedition Rewards here then if you don't want to save edit anything (or don't know how to exactly)

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2062?tab=description

[gloomy verge]

thank you for your help. This link looks even weirder than anything I've seen so far. Or just a joke, that I do not get.

[minor oak]

Anyone getting a browser warning when downloading the NMS Save Editor?

[hybrid coral]

Download it, go to your NMS directory, paste the .pak here

Back off into the PCBANKS folder and delete the DISABLEMODS.TXT

Restart your game, visit the anomaly reward vendor, profit :)

[fallow meadow]

@gloomy verge The GCUSERSETTINGS has not been used for this anymore since Frontiers, but are instead saved in an account wide save as mentioned. Any changes made to it by save editing will be permanent. The only exception is for Twitch Rewards, which are actually being verified, and can only be temporarily bypassed by forcefully being disconnected from the internet at the time of claiming. So next to suggested 'mods', Save Editor is a valid working alternative.

I posted info about all Expedition rewards here: #nms-modding message

[gloomy verge]

Thank you for info. Twitch rewards are working fine for me (I'm only missing one, as I was away). Those are not an issue for me. I'll look into your posted link to find info I'm searching for - how to enable expeditions rewards for my account.

[fallow meadow]

On a side note: Nothing wrong with Consumerism, perfectly fine mods made by someone with an acquired taste of humour. No need to worry ;-)

[gloomy verge]

Forgive me, but I'm older than your average gamer, so I'm confused a lot 🙂 It just looks not so funny to me. It is definitely, as you write - an acquired taste of humor

[hybrid coral]

There's nothing to "look into and find info" - it's just drag and drop and claim expedition/twitch rewards from the anomaly.
As Devilin said, it's been around since ages and is perfectly save to keep around in your loadorder.

[gloomy verge]

Please forgive me, as english is not my native language and I cannot express myself rightly. I'm pretty sure I can get those unlocked with NMS Save Editor (haven't tried yet) every time I would want to start a new game. That I do understand. But I would prefer to have my account info updated at the source so I don't have to rely on any third party tools every time. I'm writing a request to zendesk currently if they can help me. And I really appreciate all the help and advice you have given me. I really do 😉

[hybrid coral]

You reset/switched? your PC, lost your local data and now started at basically 0 again. They can't do anything about that either, because you didn't use steam cloud-saves to backup your data beforehand.
We provided you the only two possible solutions - HG will send you a "oh we're sorry to hear about that, we might rerun expeditions in the future" letter if anything

[fallow meadow]

I assume the issue you have run into, is the fact you are using a different computer now? Are you able to access the previous files on the PC you no longer use?

I can help out converting if need be. There is no need to make these changes every time you decide to play. Every change you make will remain. Only Twitch rewards will become unavailable to claim again, but once claimed you do get to keep them.

[gloomy verge]

Yes, I changed computer recently. I have some local data and have been trying to reload them, I've got backups of "C:\Users\My User Name\AppData\Roaming\HelloGames\NMS\st_xxxxxxxxxxxxx" from quite some time back ... the first is from 2018, when I started playing. I have always also used steam cloud saves. And I have the old PC still on my desk. Unfortunatelly I haven't started new savegame in a long time, been playing my main save for a long time and haven't noticed, that my rewards are locked. So I don't know ...

[fallow meadow]

Ok, with all that, I am certainly able to help out

[hybrid coral]

That vital bit of information was missing :D:D

[gloomy verge]

Twitch rewards are fine. It's the main account data that seems to be bad 🙂

[gloomy verge]

No problem. I did not go into full detail before, because I fugured I'm not the first one, that has changed computer 😄

[fallow meadow]

Did you make 'proper' use of the Steam Cloud sync before continuing to play on the new PC?

[hybrid coral]

The expedition/twitch rewards are all stored in your accountdata, so you should be able to copy the old file from your old PC over to your new PC via a USB stick

You could continue playing your old save aswell - I'm not quite sure tho how far you've gotten?
Since you said you played Expedition 1-10, but your "new save" (?) only has rewards from 9+10

[gloomy verge]

can you please explain what is" proper" use of Steam cloud?

[fallow meadow]

Normally, when you have Cloud Sync enabled and you decide to install on a new device, you have a way to get all your save data 'synced' to the new device, so you do not lose any progress at all

[hybrid coral]

^ since you said the last cloud save would be from 2018, that'd indicate you deactivating the steam cloud at some point

[fallow meadow]

It would be like nothing even changed, you just continue on a new PC without any trouble. That is what Cloud Sync is actually for, its purpose

[gloomy verge]

That was my oldest backup of savegame 🙂

[hybrid coral]

Ah!

[fallow meadow]

It can happen that Cloud Sync may have failed, or mistakes were made, or possibly even disabled. That is when it becomes harder to get things sorted again. Especially difficult if parts have been synced at moments

[gloomy verge]

I had Steam Cloud synced at all times. I installed steam on new PC and it synced well on new PC. All saves were working as they should. I did not loose any progress on my main save and there are older expeditions saves (when I finished expeditions). But I just now noticed, when I came to anomaly, that I have only access to expedition 9 rewards and now expedition 10. 1-8 are locked.

I did expedition 9 on old PC. And those rewards are there.

[hybrid coral]

Do you have the actual expedition rewards available to you tho? (as in are they unlocked and in your customizer-inventory?)
Are they just greyed out/unavailable entirely or already redeemed?

If you didn't lose any data otherwise, that'd seem very strange

[fallow meadow]

It could be that you missed the moment when the old way of saving changed to the new way, thus you may not have received the conversion of the GCUSERDATA to the new AccountData

Also, there is a whole lot more saved in that file than just rewards, so some things are less obvious to notice missing.

Either way ... from what you are telling us, only expedition rewards from 1-8 are missing. Twitch rewards you say are working fine. I would just add the Expedition rewards back and let us know if there is anything else you notice missing

[hybrid coral]

I think there's another misconception tbh.. the save-edit / mod solution are not "temporary" whatsoever.
They both just enable you to update your bugged / dated account data.
You can savely remove the Consumerism Mod afterwards and/or never save-edit anything again.

[fallow meadow]

Twitch rewards is the only thing that requires a bit of a workaround, with those not being an issue, you can edit your account save data any way you wish and continue from there without issue.

[hybrid coral]

(editing, claiming, updating twitch rewards requires you to be offline on steam after save-editing them which you refered to earlier - not a thing with the regular expedition rewards/consumerism)

[fallow meadow]

And for rewards, a mod basically comes down to the same. Save Editing can just handle a lot more than just those rewards

[gloomy verge]

this is how it looks on a brand new creative save. And I was mistaken. I have Expeditions 1-7 locked rewards. And 8-10 unlocked. 1-9 were done on old PC. 10 was done on new PC 🙂 Really weird

[fallow meadow]

Can be fixed either way, your choice to use a mod or save editor. I think you have enough info to get you started on trying to fix those. Feel free to ask for any additional assistance if need be

[gloomy verge]

Thank you very much for your help and all aditional info!

[hybrid coral]

Honestly the easiest solution is just installing the consumerism mod, re-buying everything from 1-7 to update your outdated/bugged accountdata, saving and uninstalling it afterwards.
Backup your save data afterwards and try to get your Steam Cloud to work again to prevent this issue in the future

[gloomy verge]

Yep, that is what I'll try. Really appreciate all the help.

Wish you all a pleasant and relaxing Sunday 👍

[steel crypt]

Maybe I'm not understanding.
You want to unlock expedition rewards right? You can use Goatfungus save editor. There is a tab at the top for "account". You can use that to unlock (give yourself) expedition rewards. Those will be saved in the "account" file/save in your save folder. They will be available in any new save and existing ones.

[minor oak]

so I'm trying to do some save editor stuff and I'm seeing these many save files thing and not sure why some are more recent but smaller in size

I only have three saves

I selected first and it said that it was not most recent yeah

maybe because my last play was on my creative save and I haven't done much but visit 3 systems?

[night adder]

@minor oak save.hg & save2.hg are save slot 1 collectively, save.hg is the autosave, save2.hg is the restore

[minor oak]

so either save5 or save6 would be my creative save with not so much progress

got it, thanks

[minor oak]

Can you edit the technology with the save editor?

like give it higher stats?

[vale iron]

You can edit the base stats of the ship, but not the stats on the technology items. For that you need a mod

[minor oak]

Which is that?

[atomic parrot]

when adding mods do i just put the zip file into the mods folder

[hearty wasp]

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

[atomic parrot]

thank

its saying all my mods are incompatabilities @round sinew

[round sinew]

where?

[atomic parrot]

like when i create a new world

[hearty wasp]

weird that all your files' modified date are today instead of the actual modified date

but warp candy's been broken for 4 years

[atomic parrot]

anything else

i tried single mods and ZV4X doesn't work

[hearty wasp]

go to My Mods > Download History on Nexus mods

open all the pages listed there

anything not updated this month is outdated

[atomic parrot]

nothing there

[hearty wasp]

"Download History"

[atomic parrot]

oih

i went from like 8 mods to 2

gonna get some gameplay and graphics enhancements

i extracted this and it gave me like 22 pak files is that fine?

[hearty wasp]

read the description on the mod page

always read the description on the mod page

instructions are almost always written on them if they are needed

[atomic parrot]

okay well its fine

thanks

it work

[gloomy verge]

Thank you very much for information. I downloaded this NMS Editor and will give it a go. Have a nice day!

[gloomy verge]

This is excatly what did it. It updated "GCUSERSETTINGSDATA.MXML" file and "accountdata.hg" file. They are both now up to date and I can unlock everything from all expeditions I completed. It also works on new save and on older saves (I checked on my original main save with couple hundred hours, on my expedition 9 save and on expedition 8 save). Beautiful. I am one very happy gamer now. And I also added all of those files to my backup batches, so it should help. Thank you very much all who helped (@round sinew, @hybrid coral, @fallow meadow, @steel crypt). All heroes in my book for helping an old fart to enjoy No Mans Sky. Have a lovely day guys!

[hybrid coral]

Happy to hear it worked out!

[hollow thicket]

wait what? How come you don't need server check for hacking expedition rewards, but do need it for quicksilver items?

and most importantly - if HG server had my purchased quicklsilver items saved, how had it lost them after accountdata syncing fail?

[hearty wasp]

The items are assigned a "shop stage" and "tier" value, the game checks for the stage and tier to decide which items are hidden, locked or unlocked

Consumerism changes all items' stage and tier value to a known unlocked value so that they are treated as unlocked

[hearty wasp]

HG servers don't save em

It's saved in your save

Being unlocked and being purchased are two separate things

[hollow thicket]

okay then, how do other saves usually have the items i purchased on main save as unlocked (e. g. free to take)?

[hearty wasp]

In quicksilver shop?

[hollow thicket]

yes

[hearty wasp]

That I'm not familiar with

Prolly just another in-game check against your account.hg

[hollow thicket]

sht

that's the problem, no such list for accountdata in the nms save editor. I mean i know the developer could just not include it, but why would they even do that

so after my accountdata got screwed up, i lost both expedition and quicksilver as unlockables on all the saves where i hadn't cliamed them (including creating new ones)

[hearty wasp]

Can't edit your save?

[hollow thicket]

i want to make the quicksilver items I purchased on my main save unlocked on all other saves again. Else I'd be stuck with having to manually edit every new save I create, which is not fun at all

[hearty wasp]

You can just give yourself more quicksilver if you want

It'd be way more efficient to do so

[hollow thicket]

i guess so. That's the easiest way I could go choose from rn, but if I get to know how this is saved and could be edited cross-save-wise that wouod make it way simpler

if I go with the first option, I'll probably have to launch my main save, write down all the unlockable quicksilver items I've got, and then launch some other save to then calculate all their collective quicksilver price, which then add to that save in save editor

[hearty wasp]

or just add an arbitrary amount

[hollow thicket]

don't want to make mistakes

[hearty wasp]

typing in 99999999 is way easier than typing in 563124

[meager onyx]

Hello, i had an issue and was sent here for help

For some reason i cant claim my Leviathan expedition rewards on any new saves

What do i do?

[hybrid coral]

Download this, claim your rewards, remove it again (if you wish)

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2062?tab=description

[meager onyx]

They said smth about an issue with my save data or smth

[hybrid coral]

~or save edit it (slightly more effort)

[meager onyx]

This seems shady website no?

[hybrid coral]

@hearty wasp you heard that?

[hybrid coral]

Just Winder's humour

[meager onyx]

My appologies if i offended someone, its just that it always seems like the case with limited time reward unlock stuff

[hybrid coral]

Mod-Thumbnail - it's from the official Mod Nexus

[hearty wasp]

if Nexus is shady then all mod users are doomed

[hybrid coral]

No worries, drop the mod in the folder I screenshot, go back into "PCBANKS" and delete your "DISABLEMODS.TXT"

[meager onyx]

Thank you

[hybrid coral]

When you're back ingame in the Anomaly, your bugged rewards should be accessible again.
Once you've picked everything up, you can simply remove the .pak modfile again

[meager onyx]

It lets me claimed all the bugged ones thats it right?

[hybrid coral]

Basically all previous (and current) Expedition + Twitch Rewards (for free)

[meager onyx]

Do i have to disable multiplayer?

Because it didnt seem to work for me

[meager onyx]

It worked now, had to reset the game, how do i get ell the required quicksilver, is the only way to grind those missions all the time?

[fresh arch]

That or use the save editor to give yourself the Quicksilver

But you could just very well give yourself the rewards instead

[meager onyx]

Howw

[fresh arch]

Im not really the person to ask for stuff related to save editing

Someone else would need to help here

[hybrid coral]

No, you don't have to disable any mods for Multiplayer or anything else of that matter.

[hybrid coral]

You don't need quicksilver to purchase the old expedition rewards you wanted.

[meager onyx]

They dont even show up in the quicksilver shop

[hybrid coral]

@meager onyx ^

Did you do that?

[meager onyx]

I put the mod in my forlder deleted the note file and some stuff was in my quicksilver shop but not all of the expedition stuff

TXT not note file

[hybrid coral]

That file is in your mods folder now, ye?

[meager onyx]

Yahh

[hybrid coral]

Not the entire .zip/.rar

Did you restart your game after you've added the mod and deleted the .txt?

[meager onyx]

nope just the file itself

Yep i did

[hybrid coral]

K if nothing shows up for whatever reason.. hmm

[hearty wasp]

again

post MODS folder

just do it

[hybrid coral]

Probably a good start, yes

[hearty wasp]

it'll explain more than you can word it

[meager onyx]

How do i get the mod folder to yall

[hybrid coral]

Press Windows+Shift+S then drag a square over your windows-explorer window (mod folder)

CTRL+V here in Discord then

[meager onyx]

Like this?

[hybrid coral]

Yep, there's the mistake

You didn't read properly

[meager onyx]

Wdym?

[hybrid coral]

There should be a folder called "MODS" in your "PCBANKS" folder

if it's not there, create one

[hybrid coral]

that's where the mods go into

[meager onyx]

Ohhhh

'Thanks for catchig that

[fresh arch]

Sorry chat did not scroll through

[meager onyx]

It is still asking for QS

[fresh arch]

... because that is how the mod was designed

Per description page

You buy the items from expeditions with Quicksilver

[hybrid coral]

It only asks for QS for the current expedition rewards - because those are supposed to be obtained via finishing the current expedition OR by spending a good amount of QS instead.

All the older ones are free iirc? Unless they're just free for me because I completed them

[meager onyx]

I just got confused because you said it shouldnt ask for QS

[hybrid coral]

I've only ever had the "current Expedition" ask for QS

[meager onyx]

Nope nothing in the shop indicates that anything is free

[hybrid coral]

Welp in that case tho, you don't need to be concerned about it either way, because it doesn't go anywhere.
You can always buy all the previous expedition and twitch rewards with QS at any time - as long as you have that mod installed

You can obtain QS by doing weekly and daily missions at the Nexus in the meantime

[meager onyx]

Thank you everything has worked out as it should

are there any mods that unlock portal travel to phantom stars?

[solid hawk]

What do you mean by phantom stars? Each system has a portal, just a matter of knowing what the address is.

[steel crypt]

Doing fine, thanks 🙂

[steel crypt]

If some of this stuff here is true, then a mod might not be possible.
https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Phantom_star

Cuz it seems like something you do in your save file and therefore would not be a mod thing.......yet. It would have to be done with an external API....which are only indev.

[toxic crown]

Phantom Stars can be accessed by using a save editor (such as earlier example) to change your curent solar system index to a number between about decimal 600 (Hex 0258) and decimal 4095 (Hex 0FFF) will reliably produce phantom systems. Solar index numbers as low as decimal 213 (Hex 00D5) have been shown to produce phantom systems in some regions. The solar index of 0000 will also produce a phantom star in some regions

If you need link for the video, DM me

[solid hawk]

Hello all, my best friend and I both play on PS4 and missed it on the Normandy. Anyone know how to get it with save editing? Just to note, we've never messed with save editing at all

[fresh arch]

I know how to get it with save editing, but first you need to get your save onto Windows PC

IIRC you either need a paid software (Save Wizard) or a hacked console for that

[waxen cedar]

now with the new hologram emotes?

No I just updated it with the vanilla changes

[sharp turtle]

any way to get rid of this doubling effect when near black holes? its not a problem with the modded texture since it happens with the vanilla one too

[hearty wasp]

@steel crypt prolly knows more than I do

think it's a material thing but I haven't put too much research into it

[steel crypt]

It's a particle. Yeah a material thing. HG messed up the refraction stuff and the way particles are done. They made a horrible way of fading the edge of the particle, and then patched it, then unpatched it.
The black hole looks stupid now. Was thinking about modding it again, but when I looked, the edge fading was driving me crazy. Also, the way they build it is a lot different now.

[hearty wasp]

wait so is this just like a huge particle?

or multiple huge particles?

[steel crypt]

TLDR: Yes, it's possible. The real question now is..... who's gonna drive themselves insane doing it like I did.

[steel crypt]

I would have to look to make sure. When they originally changed it, they basically used my system of using a giant transparent particle for refraction. The black hole has several layers of things. They changed some when they patched and unpatched it. They way it looks now, makes me 99% sure it's the giant particle for refraction.

[hearty wasp]

that is hilarious

either way I guess the simplest way to get rid of it would be just to yeet the emitter then

[steel crypt]

If you wanted to git rid of refraction, yes you could do that. Done.
It might be possible to make nice refraction like in my mod, but I would have to try to work with the stupid as hell way they are fading it now. Dunno.

Dammit, you are making me want to look at it. 😬

[hearty wasp]

since particles are still based on a texture can't we just fade the texture itself

or is it more complicated than that

[steel crypt]

Ummm...not like that. Once a particle takes up the whole screen, it "fades" based on the screen. Like it has a non-particle border on the screen. This works fine with most particles, but with a clear refraction particle..... Imagine the stars are being refracted. If you go close to the black hole and the refraction particle is covering the screen, there will be this very obvious border where the stars are lines like they are being REALLY smeared/stretched.

The texture is blank. It is only being used to apply a refraction material.

[hearty wasp]

lmao what

yeah no that's fucked

[steel crypt]

Find a black hole and fly close to it where the refraction is covering the screen. You can't miss it. If I take a look at it, I will post pic for you.

[steel crypt]

@hearty wasp This pic is just for the purpose of seeing the border thing I'm talking about. I think this would be a shader pipe thing maybe? HG patched it and fixed the border, but then unpatched it 🤷‍♂️
The way the refraction material is refracting is a whole other thing to be fixed cuz it's jacked stupid looking too.

[hearty wasp]

that looks so silly

[steel crypt]

Not being able to deal with the border is what caused me to not re-mod it. I can make the refraction better I'm sure, but then I still have the damned border.

[solid hawk]

Sticking with BAAA. 🙂

[steel crypt]

It has the same issue…I think.

[hearty wasp]

yeah BAAA use the vanilla refraction

[lime mesa]

it's a shame, the search doesn't even really work properly

do any of the flight mods bring back autopilot? I'm less interested in going Mega Fast and more interested in marking a POI, pressing go, and stepping away from my pc to make tea or something

[hearty wasp]

it just search for the string directly

[lethal moon]

how does one find the save file for goatfungus i use the xbox version on the pc cause that’s my original platform save

i use nomnom but it’s not updated

[lime mesa]

If I use better planet generation what happened to other player like if they on same planet

What if it's on multiplayer even

[timid burrow]

@hearty wasp or anyone else on PS, can save file be migrated from PS4 to PS5? If so, how?

[steel crypt]

If they use same mod, they see same thing. If not, they see vanilla.

[hearty wasp]

I am not on PS

[shy grove]

Not on PS5. Only PS4 if they use Save Wizard, a pay for playstation app that helps extract the file so it can be save edited and I assume also migrated. Dharhan probably knows mote details.

[timid burrow]

Ah, I see. Thank you friend entity

[timid burrow]

Gotcha! No biggie 🙂

[shy grove]

Hey unsure if this is where to ask; I'm looking for a nice looking living ship with actual good stats, good damage. Maneuverability for speed and maybe shields, nothing broken but able to compete with other ships out there

I prefer the living anesthetic but i feel like I'm self gimping as my ship osnt nearly as effective as it should be

[hearty wasp]

#nms-questions ?

Or #nms-lfg-or-trades I guess

[sick geyser]

i tried in trades and such

im not sure if what im looking for even exists

[hearty wasp]

I mean we just mod the game here

Unless you're gonna edit your save I don't think we can help

[sick geyser]

the stats just seem on the low side, would modding the game include modding starships

im on xbox

[hearty wasp]

You can't mod on consoles

[sick geyser]

idk if the trade trick works

[hearty wasp]

Can you trade living ships?

I don't actually know

[sick geyser]

same, idk either, but i figured there may be a workaround or i could join them to access something if it came to a modded living ship

i dont want anything broken, just one with a good attack and maneuver stat honestly

[hearty wasp]

You can still edit your save by using the gamepass version

[sick geyser]

i cant seem to get anything over like 350 fully modded

i do have gamepass

Some time around the singularity release, HG broke all refractions. It affects ALL refractions in the game. It's a shader issue, and HG will have to fix it. Please report to HG to get some attention to the problem. I can't fix it due to it being a shader issue.

Sounds about right. I was testing this stuff and messing with the black hole trying to figure it out. (cuz it's easier to see the problem) At one point, it got so bad for me (potato) that the sound started dropping in/out.

[round sinew]

did you see the bug on latest steam experimental?

with terrain rendering speed?

e.g.

[steel crypt]

No, I'm on GOG. They only released 1 4.3xx series update. Usually when GOG updates are delayed it's because the developer hasn't released it. HG has a pattern of not releasing GOG updates when they have bad issues. Been here since the beginning, and this update cycle has been tough for HG.

[merry wasp]

they changed something?

I'm looking for the action string to use to remap "craft more" in TKGAMESETTINGS, it used to be rebound but I switched computer and reinstalled and I lost it. anyone know what it is?

@neon nova try this one

[neon nova]

Literally just found this too

Gonna give it a go now

ty

ay nice it worked, not having a cap defintely improves the new robot race

It looks so much more creepy without the cape, i fw it heavily

[neon nova]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2708?tab=posts

Hope someone fixes up this mod, kinda a shame they removed the models as they were better than the originals

[vale iron]

They'll come out eventually in vanilla. They removed them from the game files for now, so no fixing it up.

[hearty wasp]

yeah you should be asking HG to fix that up, not me

[neon nova]

I guess, it's not confirmed it coming back though and to my knowledge they've put stuff in and not added it before. By fix up I mean I hope someone kept the models to implement the mod rather than fixing the actual models

[vale iron]

You can get the models from the archive, then implement them with a mod. I just don't think anyone thinks it's worth the effort right now. They definitely put a ton of time into them, so I doubt they just drop them.

[neon nova]

That's a shame, if I actually knew how to mod this game then it'd be something on my list for sure. Here's hoping Hello Games adds them at a later point then

[solid hawk]

YW, glad you like it. 🙂

[inland plinth]

Do yall think the better plant generation mod is good I have it downloaded for my 4 hours of playtime and oidk if io should go back to vanilla

[fresh arch]

Personally I dont install large scale environment mods like that

The reason is simple: mods like that tend to be updated manually and with HG retouching or reworking biomes makes it more complicated

If you're are looking for a "fresh coat of paint" for the game, you could check out mods that alter the visual instead

Stuff like Duds Sky Colours, Pararell Universe, Exosolar's mods

[hybrid coral]

Terraform mods are awesome but can cause more issues than any of the other mods you could grab from nexus

Whatever you decide to do, def. get DUDsky + DUDcolors. Easily the best mods you can grab to beautify your game :>

[onyx tapir]

where do find titles in the save editor?

trying to remove a few but cant find it

[magic spire]

try account -> season rewards

[round sinew]

i believe there's 2 places to check/untick:

• account tab - which handles the account wide unlocks, and
• the discovery tab/known products - which handles what's known to the save being edited

[onyx tapir]

i disabled it in season rewards and it still says claimed ingame

[onyx tapir]

oh i think i found one

is it possible to ctrl+f?

dang it

ok so

the only titles i found were those two you showed me actually

there are none others

[round sinew]

then i'm looking in the wrong place.

i know there's somewhere else we need to double check

alright, i think i found it

main window, edit, edit account json

expand usersettingsdata, click on UnlockedTitles

you should already know what's the title id you want to remove

[onyx tapir]

thanks man

[onyx tapir]

do i just delete the ones i want removed?

[round sinew]

then.. well, in this case- it would be title in slot#1, since it starts counting from #0

[onyx tapir]

uhhhhhh

[round sinew]

click 1, then pressing delete on your keyboard should delete the entire thing

[onyx tapir]

ok

are the expedition titles called EXPD?

[round sinew]

seems like it

[onyx tapir]

kk

[round sinew]

iirc, some of the expedition titles are also in the account tab (and could be unlocked/relocked through there i.e its availability in the qs shop

[onyx tapir]

yeah

do i delete the name and the file?

[round sinew]

i think you can just delete the key

i think that's the cleanest way to do it

[onyx tapir]

its not deleting

oh tehere we go

is EXP the same as EXPD???

guhhh

the names are so confusig

i have the technical name of the ones i want to delete but i have no idea if im deleting the right thing

[round sinew]

no, EXP is referring to explorers npc guild

pretty sure on that one

[inland plinth]

Do yall think a better planet generation mod is good or vanilla better

[hearty wasp]

it's good

[solid hawk]

My take, start with vanilla. Use that until things begin to seem overly repetitive and boring, then switch to mod.

Starting off with mod, you lose having a control as a comparator.

[night adder]

aka it's better to figure out what you feel needs tweaking before you go futzing about

[inland plinth]

ty

what mods do i need to tame an animal that cant be tamed

[magic lava]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1868

[inland plinth]

tysm

how do u acrtually tame them

[prime iris]

does MO2 mod NMS properly?

[solid hawk]

E interaction button. First you feed them, so they don't run away, then repeat the E interaction while they are eating creature pellets to make pet.

[inland plinth]

ty

[final sequoia]

is there a NMS specific version of reshade?

[fresh arch]

You don't need any mod manager for NMS

Just copy pasting files in Windows Explorer or other file manager you have

[fresh arch]

A small sneak peak on the mod I've been cooking up, a new starship research tree with it's shape mostly finalized

Left branch for unlocking the expedition tech, right side for unlocking my custom starship blueprints

Got upgrades for all weapons except for the Infra Knife lol

[magic lava]

Slick

[night adder]

@solid hawk Yo, you the guy to report flaws with the tame mod to? Flying Lizards get tamed as CreatureType Flying Lizard - 90% of the time, this makes em idiot fliers that enjoy dragging their faces against terrain. Passive instead works well 90% of the time

Just looked at author credits for the 1st time ever - I know Ive mentioned it to Mjstral in annoyance and he hasnt bothered to do anything. (Didnt know I was criticizing something with his name on it, else Id have ribbed him some, too)

[solid hawk]

The MOD adds the E interaction menu and riding data. The Flying Lizards don't get tamed as CreatureType Flying Lizard, that's what they are upon creation in the game. The GcInteractionComponentData code block for adding a pet has no facility to change or set the creature type. What you're asking to do is a save edit, can't be done via game file mod. That being said, I might be able to change in one of the creature tables, by default. That is IF 1) said change doesn't completely break the creature in question 2) CreatureType Flying Lizard isn't being set completely by the .exe, not using data from the game files.

But, shoot me a screenshot of your Passive change please.

[night adder]

@solid hawk Will do later, at a family lunch

[solid hawk]

Sounds good. 🙂

[vagrant moon]

Hello has anyone installed the nms base plug in for blender for the Mac and got it to work? Or the other standalone base building app

Thanks

[inland plinth]

Could mods cause a white screen when loading in

[hearty wasp]

yes but post your MODS folder

well yes but a caveat that's why you should always post your MODS folder before even asking

[inland plinth]

its ok it fixed when i joined someone else

[hearty wasp]

you mean loading in on initial load or somewhere else

[inland plinth]

like the initial load into the save

i was in a freighter

but when i joined and spawned somewhere else it seems to fixed itself

[hearty wasp]

the game just fades to white when transitioning from the loading galaxy screen to gameplay

if you mean the white screen is persistant then it can just be a weird game thing

[inland plinth]

Yes io know

But it was like that for 10 minutes

[naive elbow]

Hello, all. I was directed here for advice. I am looking for a tool/mod, for PC, that will let me change the base cosmetics of my traveller, even across new saves. Thank you, in advance for your help.

[hearty wasp]

yeah prolly just a weird game thing

[inland plinth]

Now it's broken again after I joined my own save

[hearty wasp]

can't unless you cannibalize a mod like Getting Head to change the default presets

unless I'm not aware of a mod currently doing it

[hearty wasp]

could just be a freighter thing

post MODS folder if you're bothered

[inland plinth]

its just on processing

like the folder

in discord

idk what wrong when i joined my friendi did a save point on a planet

[naive elbow]

I noticed that there are some YouTubers that have really consistent cosmetics, and seem to have some reward skins across games, so I was just hoping that it was something easy. I really like the base game

[inland plinth]

the mod folder wotn send

[hearty wasp]

they just change their outfit before recording, man

[hearty wasp]

make a new folder inside MODS folder, it'll serve as your "uninstalled mods" folder, and start yeeting your mods inside there

do it a few at a time and see if issues goes away

[inland plinth]

should i try all of them first to see if its even related to the mods

[hearty wasp]

sure whatever you wanna try

[inland plinth]

i got rid of the mods and it works

ty

[night adder]

@magic lava @round sinew @fallow meadow @vale iron Any chance 1 of you could answer whether its possible to get Blender working on a Mac to use for NMS base building?

[round sinew]

to my knowledge, yes; and blender website lists macos as one of the release platforms

[night adder]

The standalone app is definitely unable to be run currently, from monkey's lips

[round sinew]

(both for intel and apple silicon it seems)

[night adder]

@vagrant moon So, looks like it should be possible

One of the UFC Production Managers wants to get it running on his Mac, the Galactic Games take a lot of buildwork, so shortcuts that dont sacrifice quality are much valued

[fallow meadow]

Blender plugin would be Python based, so more likely to find compatibility than the standalone. However, I doubt the Asset Browser will work.

[vagrant moon]

Thanks

[strange pendant]

is any sort of mod or tool to help you generate a map of a cave network?

[fresh arch]

Nope

[strange pendant]

ty

[marsh eagle]

Best you can do is to use the camera no clip mod to see the whole cave from outside

[night adder]

Dont need a mod to manage that, just a terrain manipulator and an exocraft pad

[solid hawk]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2116

[night adder]

@solid hawk Yeah who am I kidding? PC players arent interested in what I can teach when they can just toss a mod on lol. XD

[solid hawk]

More than one way to skin a cat, as the saying goes....

not so good for the cat though

[vale iron]

Gnoclip wouldn't help with cave mapping though, only lets you go through objects

[marsh eagle]

Yeah I mean the photo mode no clip mods

[mental remnant]

how do i unlock all the expedition rewards from previous expeditions for my save files? preferrably without the risk of something happening to my save file

[magic lava]

You can use a save editor or a mod

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2062

@mental remnant ^

[mental remnant]

tyty

[solid hawk]

Forgot one, https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1960

[magic lava]

Thanks

[shy grove]

ty for sharing this. btw, there's also another mod for folks who want to run past expeditions, right?

[solid hawk]

That's no so much a mod. I've seen it before, but not used. Let me see if I can dig up a link, please give me a few.....

Here's what I found: https://chrisn1992.github.io/Expedition-Replay-NMS/

Hope it helps

[shy grove]

Ooh, interesting! I'd must've misread a comment about it before. I assumed it was available in Nexus mods. Thank you so much for sharing the link

[solid hawk]

No problem

I play through new expeditions, about the only time I actually get to play anymore. ~5 hours every 2 months. lol

[ancient stratus]

Guys, do you know anything about unlocking expedition rewards on PS4 saves?

[shy grove]

For PS4, you'd have to first use Save Wizard, a pay for app that helps extract your save file, so it can be edited on PC: https://www.savewizard.net/

[ancient stratus]

Thanks for the quick reply, I do have save wizard

I decrypted the save file, and proceeded to the save editor from goatfungus

But the account tab is not active

I am just missing expeditions 8 and 9 and to be honest, I really really am a fan of the utopia speedster, big fan of Bladerunner here 🙂

[shy grove]

Maybe try clearing the path to the save file you're trying to edit, restart the goatfungus save editor and reset the path again?

[ancient stratus]

Trying this now

[ancient stratus]

Nope, still account is grayed out

[shy grove]

@fallow meadow @night adder Do you know why the Account Tab would show greyed out in Goatfungus when save editing a file they grabbed from Save Wizard for PS4?

Please see followup details below: #nms-modding message

[ancient stratus]

I tried before with editing the JSON on the KnownSpecials

[shy grove]

So you edited the raw json before and saved the changes, you mean?

[ancient stratus]

I did that as well because account is grayed out

I found the names of the json elements and added them there

On steam, pc version, it worked, and also account is not grayed out, on ps4 I have the problem

[shy grove]

Got ya. And you're definitely pointing to a fresh copy of the files/folder you extracted through Save Wizard?

[ancient stratus]

Yes, so I got the save from PS4 to a usb stick, used save wizard to decrypt it. Got it exported using the advanced option into a savedata.hg file and opened it with goatfungus

[ancient stratus]

I also searched for already existing save files but no luck, been trying to figure this whole thing out 2 weeks now

[shy grove]

Does any of the other data in the save editor (besides the Account Tab) get populated after you've selected your save file? Perhaps posting screenshots here can help us troubleshoot the issue better. Especially when Dharhan and Devilin are on and hopefully see the thread.

[ancient stratus]

Also it's not creative, it's normal but for some reason it has it categorized Creative.

All other visible tabs are operational

I tinkered with them and it works okay, if you want I can upload the JSON I edited

This json is under PlayerStateData > KnownSpecials

[round sinew]

sorry, not a savewiz user, afraid i won't be much help here, so this is about as much as i can think of: tried restarting savewiz, and exporting to file again?

[ancient stratus]

yep, did that, not the case

Also nom nom has the same behaviour. Works fine with steam saves but not with PS4 decrypted ones

[shy grove]

Here's some insight from goatfungus himself that maybe we should give a try?

Account will be greyed out if the editor could not find your accountdata file. This is separate from your normal save files but is stored in the same folder usually.
To solve...you should load your save file in the game itself and do another quicksave. The game should then save everything in the new format.
https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor/issues/587

[ancient stratus]

So I have to get in and out of ship I guess?

[shy grove]

Yikes. This is an older thread from 2021 & 2022: https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor/issues/491

The account settings file is not decrypted by save wizard.
If you look at the saved files one of them is smaller than the others, this is the account file and where expedition info is kept.
@night adder Sorry to bug you again, but you're the only player I know of with some Save Wizard knowledge. Have you ever tried making edits of a PS4 file via goatfungus' Account Tab?

[ancient stratus]

Thing is that when I save the data on usb stick from ps4, I have 3 files. Savedata00 -01 -02 and their respective .bins

[shy grove]

I'm about to post something I've been holding off on, that's not related to this PS4 issue by the way. Hopefully when Dharhan or Devilin get on, they can help us troubleshoot this issue a little better. I'm really concerned that others have reported that Save Wizard hasn't decrypted the account data for them before. I wonder if that's still an issue.

Expeditions - Save Editing & Game Mod Options

These options are mostly for PC players, PS4 players with access to the paid app: Save Wizard, or players with an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, who get cross-save via the Xbox cloud and access to a PC where No Man's Sky can be installed to sync your save files.

💾 Although save editing and using game mods isn't discouraged, we HIGHLY recommend always creating and keeping one or more safe backups before you attempt to save edit or modify any of your game files. Run !Faq-SaveFiles for file locations depending on platform.

🎁 Unlocking Rewards

1. Save Edit (two options):

• GoatFungus: https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor (requires the latest Java Runtime Environment)
• NomNom: https://github.com/zencq/NomNom (requires .NET 6 Desktop Runtime)

If updating your save's account data via the editor's UI (e.g. Account tab) is not an option with either of these editors -- which can be the case when an expedition is still running and a save editor hasn't been updated with the latest rewards, you may do Raw JSON editing, adding the corresponding reward codes.

• See helpful instructions: #nms-modding message
  -# *For most recent rewards codes/IDs, please check other pins in this channel.

When doing this, we recommend editing the Raw JSON for Account Data, if possible (exception PS4 players). Just adding the reward codes / IDs to the save data itself, is not always enough. And it ensures you get the rewards as they are intended. Per @fallow meadow:

Recommended to edit (add) UnlockedSeasonRewards in the Account Data to then claim in the Space Anomaly.
Note: Alternatively editing KnownSpecials in the Save Data will often work as well, but not always.

2. Game Mod that unlocks rewards:
   https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2062

Last updated: <t:1725890390:d>

[ancient stratus]

Yep, hopefully the matter is going to be solved, thanks once again for your interest on the problem @shy grove

[fallow meadow]

@ancient stratus The issue is not NMSSE or NomNom, but in fact Save Wizard, which does not decrypt the account data, only saves. So using a save editor after having used Save Wizard to get the files decrypted, you can only edit saves, not account data.

[shy grove]

Thank you, Dev! So this is a confirmed ongoing "issue" / expected functionality that's never changed?

If that's the case, what would you recommend for @ancient stratus? To just save edit the Raw Json with all the codes you shared here? https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/377229206351773696/1118577919766310922/Expedition_Rewards.jpg
(which btw I pinned above #nms-modding message -- plz lmk if i should add anything else to those notes )

[fallow meadow]

The only way to then get any of those rewards, would indeed be Raw JSON, although it might be possible if present in the main menus to unlock. The info is however usually available sooner to do so in Raw JSON, prior to editors updating. CC @ancient stratus

@shy grove I think it would be fair to include NomNom as well

[ancient stratus]

As you saw I did upload my JSON file, though the rewards are not unlocked

[fallow meadow]

Then again, there is another pin that lists both save editors

[ancient stratus]

If you could be so kind, to guide me through the process cause I might be doing something wrong, if its possible to unlock them via JSON

[shy grove]

is NomNom ever gonna be updated tho? that's the only reason why i didn't include it.

[fallow meadow]

How are you checking if the rewards have been unlocked?

[fallow meadow]

It was actually updated recently

[ancient stratus]

By going to the anomaly and looking at the npc with the expedition rewards

[fallow meadow]

Zencq has been really busy, but working on updates again, with one getting back on track like a week or so ago

[fallow meadow]

Ah yes, but that is because your Account data has not changed, so it will remain to show as such. You should check the Appearance Modifier or elsewhere to find if your rewards are there

Of course rewards like a ship or something, are going to require further edits, as 'KnownSpecials' will not cover those

[ancient stratus]

for the ship what can I do then?

[fallow meadow]

You can also look for 'RedeemedSeasonRewards', which may then alter the QS bot at the Anomaly, but I see no point, as it is just that, listing it as redeemed.

[fallow meadow]

For the ship you will actually have to add the ship to your list of ships.

[ancient stratus]

so I have to use "generate"?

[fallow meadow]

Which ship are you wanting to add?

[ancient stratus]

Utopia speeder ❤️

xD

[fallow meadow]

No, that generates a random seed

Ah, ok. Let me see what I can find. I just recovered from some system issues (again), so allow me a moment. I may have to re-install the editor to make sure I get you the correct data too

[ancient stratus]

Thanks a lot, also you're right, I got the rewards but unlocked not on the npc

Apart from the ship I don't think I am missing anything else I want

[shy grove]

sweet! updated accordingly #nms-modding message

[fallow meadow]

The ship is basically using internal means to 'gift' it to you, and there is no way without modding to replicate this. So I will have to hunt down the full ship data, so you can add it to your Owned ships

[ancient stratus]

And how am I going to be able to add the ship via the editor? I didn't see a button for adding new ship to the collection\

Should I buy one in game and modify it with the seed provided after?

[fallow meadow]

Ah yes, it can replace one, but it would basically alter an existing ship to just change the model, which would not be quite the same.

[fallow meadow]

You do not modify the seed, it uses a special seed so to say, often '0x1', but I have to look it up. It will also not come with the stats it should have if done that way.

[ancient stratus]

Okay then I will wait for you to tell me how I should do it then

[fallow meadow]

So if you only care for the model, go ahead, get a ship in-game, change it there and do as you please. If you wish to get it the way it should be, you can wait on my results to edit it in

[ancient stratus]

I will wait

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate your help

[fallow meadow]

@round sinew to the rescue, providing me the data I need

[round sinew]

i tried but mine already has upgrades on it 😦

[shy grove]

What do you guys need?

[fallow meadow]

Fresh data from a newly bought speeder

[shy grove]

Sorry I was distracted clarifying notes for the expedition save editing pin

[shy grove]

newly bought, as in only acquired via the quicksilver vendor and no upgrades, clean inventory? i can check one of my saves. i'd probably need you to point me to the data i should extract from the json

[fallow meadow]

That would be great, as I am trying to load my save, but only getting the pre-load stars for ages

Ah wow, finally something happened

[fallow meadow]

I should be good, but I'll let you know if I need your data

[round sinew]

had instructions already typed in 😆

screenshot and all

[shy grove]

lol was gonna say, pass them on so they don't goto waste

[round sinew]

once in the editor, select save, go Edit, Edit Raw JSON, expand PlayerStateData, then expand ShipOwnership, click through the numbers till you see #nms-modding message

[shy grove]

all in the name of science

[ancient stratus]

Alrighty, gonna try this then and let you know

[ancient stratus]

Is it possible to pastebin it for me? on a snippet?

[fallow meadow]

I'll post the full data for you here. Can include it as text file too

[ancient stratus]

awesome

[fallow meadow]

Utopia Speeder (ShipOwnership raw JSON data)

[round sinew]

wait for Pixy's upload, because mine would have a bunch of stuff already in it, i upgraded it and such

[fallow meadow]

Do make sure to check each of the 'index' numbers [x] within ShipOwnership to make sure you get one that has default (empty) data only

[ancient stratus]

❤️ Thanks for the help @fallow meadow , @shy grove @round sinew I will try to add it and let you know if its all good

[ancient stratus]

Yeah

[fallow meadow]

Then just select all (CTRL+A) and paste it over it (CTRL V)

[fallow meadow]

Please do, hope it works out for you

[shy grove]

I hope it all works out. Definitely keep us posted

[ancient stratus]

All engines up and running

Truth to be told, I had more fun working on figuring out how to make the whole save editing work rather than playing the game xD

[fallow meadow]

@shy grove To add to your pin above: While adding the rewards through Raw JSON editing, I would actually recommend editing the Raw JSON for Account Data, if of course possible. As just adding IDs to the save data itself, is not always enough, as you now see. It also ensures you get the rewards as they are intended.

[ancient stratus]

Love the game, don't get me wrong, but this was actually enjoyable. Trying to find how things work and work around this to get my way

[fallow meadow]

Oh my ... you need a warning ... lol. THIS TOOL IS POWERFUL, handle with care!

I got hooked to save editing too, I agree it is fun figuring out all sorts of fun stuff

[shy grove]

Having too much power has been known to also ruin some of the fun

[ancient stratus]

Can you elaborate a bit more? I did edit raw JSON, which is the one for Account Data?

[ancient stratus]

As the eternal senpai Vergil said , "More power" :))

[shy grove]

You had to edit raw JSON because the Account Tab doesn't work for you -- as the account data wasn't decrypted by Save Wizard. That's what she was referring to

[ancient stratus]

Ah okay, cool then, thought I had to make some side changes so no crossreferencing issues occur

[shy grove]

During an expedition, before a save editor is updated with the latest expedition's rewards, players may also have to edit the raw JSON, as the Account Tab may not have the latest rewards available in the editor's UI.

[shy grove]

Nah, you're good.

[ancient stratus]

By the way, if upgrade modules such as artemis translator are added, is that going to create an issue with the questline?

[fallow meadow]

@shy grove I edited the reply you linked, to include some more details (as mentioned)

[fallow meadow]

It shouldn't, but you may have to be careful with some items/tech, when not supposed to have them yet, but the questline rewarding them. In most cases you are fine though.

[ancient stratus]

Okay then, thanks once again for the help and your time

@fallow meadow @shy grove @round sinew you've been really helpful, thanks once again all of you

[shy grove]

oh i may have misunderstood your comment so where exactly would they have to edit the account data too? is there a message i can link to for that kind of info?

[ancient stratus]

Now I am probably gonna break completely the savefile xD

[fallow meadow]

I edited this reply #nms-modding message, which you used in the pin. I included more info, so I think it is all covered now

[shy grove]

ooh perfect! ty, Dev

Deleting any of the settings files will have them regenerate when the game is launched.

The first link points to post with couple instructions on how to prepare the game for mods

Follow them and you'll be golden

[craggy oxide]

still confused

like so i do the windo r key and paste that in?

[fresh arch]

What are you trying to do

[fallow meadow]

What platform are you going to be modding on?

[craggy oxide]

pc

but i us xbox gamepass thing

[fresh arch]

Then yes, you can get to that folder by opening the Run window (that's what Win + R combo is for)

And typing %localappdata% and hitting Enter

Then you navigate the rest of the path

[craggy oxide]

so the folder is opens now

AC
AppData
LocalCach
LocalState
RoamingState
Settings
SystemAppData
TempState

@fresh arch @fallow meadow WHAT FOLDER?

caps lock

?

[fresh arch]

Type %localappdata% in the Run window, hit Enter

Then navigate to Packages, then to HelloGames... and so on

[craggy oxide]

i alr did nthsat

[fresh arch]

Yeah I doubt that since there are no folders like Settings or SystemAppData in my local

[craggy oxide]

here

go to vc

[fresh arch]

No I wont

I dont want to see your files

I will not tell you how to navigate your PC

[fallow meadow]

From where you were told to go and follow along, you should end up with the following: ...NoMansSky...\...\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\.... This is where you will have to create a folder called Mods, in which any .pak files will be installed (which are the mods you like)

[craggy oxide]

bro im just asking for help

\CLocal%5CPackages\HelloGames.NoMansSky_bs190hzg1sesy

is what u have

i have

[fallow meadow]

After having installed the mods, one last thing to delete a file called ENABLEMODS.TXT which is located in the PCBANKS

[craggy oxide]

can i just show you in vc?

[fallow meadow]

Almost there

I don't do vc, sorry. I believe the info you have now should be clear enough to get you started

[craggy oxide]

:_:

[fallow meadow]

So full path, I believe should be this:
%LocalAppData%\Packages\HelloGames.NoMansSky_bd190hzg1sesy\LocalCache\Local\Microsoft\WritablePackageRoot\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\...
There you create a Mods folder (if not there yet), in which any mods (.pak) files are installed. Then lastly remove the ENABLEMODS.TXT in PCBANKS. When launching the game, it should show a warning, which means you did it correctly.

[fresh arch]

Remove (or rename) DISABLEMODS.TXT, not ENABLEMODS

[fallow meadow]

Hmmm, odd, my fresh install on Steam has ENABLEMODS again, not DISABLEMODS like it used to. May have to verify the various platforms again?

I would not have noticed if you had not mentioned it

[fresh arch]

Ok do a test, yeet ENABLEMODS.TXT out

Launch the game, does it still show the mod warning?

[fallow meadow]

I will do some testing when I get a chance. No mods atm though

Yeah, warning would show regardless

Might as well... One moment

No warning at all ... hmmm

So it has neither now, basically, but no warning

Interesting

I am on Steam Experimental branch btw

Will check Public too

[fresh arch]

Im on Public and have mine renamed to get mods working

[fallow meadow]

I can't tell if mods work or not, but not getting the warning, which may indicate mods failing. Or perhaps it does not care to show the warning, as there are no mods present?

@fresh arch Would you be able to send me a simple .pak real quick?

[lunar quartz]

I just verified my files and it downloaded DISABLEMODS.TXT. You probably renamed it yourself at some point and forgot about it. Especially because it's the oldest file in your "fresh" installation. We do know for a fact that pressing "uninstall" in Steam does not delete the whole folder, but only the current contents. In theory you could have two NMS versions installed side-by-side (pre-Mac and post-Mac). That was an issue with one user who tried to use AMUMSS but couldn't because AMUMSS would draw from the old files instead of the new

[fallow meadow]

My computer has been formatted this weekend with everything freshly installed. It came like this from Steam

I will see what a verify does though

[lunar quartz]

Then why is it from June 25th?

[fallow meadow]

No idea

[lunar quartz]

Verifying will not delete the file, but it will just download DISABLEMODS again

[fallow meadow]

25th is when it was first installed, the other files have updated since

[lunar quartz]

And you are 100% sure you didn't manually rename it after installing NMS?

[fallow meadow]

Oh my bad, meant the weekend a week ago, so 25th is about right

[fresh arch]

Sorry but SteamDB shows there is DISABLEMODS

And no ENABLEMODS
