[drowsy solstice]

yea but for some reason it wont open with my dds plugin

[hearty wasp]

dds plugin for which program

[fresh arch]

https://www.photopea.com/

This is what I use to play with textures

[left bobcat]

this isnt particularly for a mod but can any modders who have dug into the files give me the background used in menus without any gui assets ontop of it.

[low mist]

I had a little trouble getting the game to start with the new update due to mod incompatibility.
The 'Shorter arrival messages' pak was the culprit, in case anyone has it.

[obsidian tree]

MBINCompiler is updated: https://github.com/monkeyman192/MBINCompiler/releases/tag/v4.40.0-pre1

this means save editors I think should now pull the latest mapping and should be able to support stuff again 🙂

although I dunno how they work haha

[hearty wasp]

I wouldn't play the game with mods in general for the first week tbh

Nothing's updated

[low mist]

Yeah that's probably wise lol

[drowsy solstice]

it was for photoshop, its built in to PS now

[drowsy solstice]

ah ok i will use this then save it as PNG

[hearty wasp]

get the nvidia texture tools plugin instead

unless ou have an AMD GPU I guess

[drowsy solstice]

ah yes of course, i forgot about that, thanks for reminding me

[hearty wasp]

👍

I've been using that one for years for NMS stuff without issues so it should work well for you too

[drowsy solstice]

i used to use it back when modding skyrim and other bethesda games as it was my go to plugin back then

[hearty wasp]

I don't think it's changed much since then

[drowsy solstice]

ok thats good to know

[rich harbor]

made this xD
https://github.com/MrNegative420/Name2HexCodeGeneratorApp

probably crap but was fun making it

[plucky steeple]

is it possible to change parts of ship using editor?

[hearty wasp]

No

Unless you mean seeds

Then yes

[hearty wasp]

Go there for more info

[jaunty plaza]

what is this

[hearty wasp]

thing that makes mods work

if you dunno what it is then you prolly don't need to care about it

[jaunty plaza]

oh i thought this had something to do with save editor

[naive sedge]

Do you know which pak file contains "NMS_DIALOG_GCALIENSPEECHTABLE.MBIN"?

[drowsy solstice]

so all my mods and other mods are working fine, just need all the DUD mods to be updated and im good to go

[green prairie]

might take a while

[drowsy solstice]

yea i gathered that

[green prairie]

jason makes mods the old school way instead of using scripts like us

so depending how much the update changed

gonna take a couple days

[drowsy solstice]

oh ok so he write it manually by hand then

[green prairie]

ye

[drowsy solstice]

props to him

After using Consumerism, my back pain went away, my hair grew back and my family stopped being disappointed in me

Well, it was either that or meds

[low moth]

Those that mod the game, do you use a mod manager or do it manually? Which mod manager? Thanks. Keeping track of over 125 mods is getting tedious, as I also mod a bunch of other games (Valheim has over 300 installed and running). Much appreciated!

[fresh arch]

No mod manager like Vortex offers conflict detection

No mod manager, just copy / pasting files to the dedicated folder

If you need conflict detection, AMUMSS does that

use tracking feature in the Nexus website

[merry wasp]

Well for NMS i just have AMUMMS/NMSMB loaded with all the mod(scripts) that i need, so i just recompile + merge anytime the game does an update that bricks my mods

that the least time consuming

the scripts don't changes that much (unless with major updates) fe 3.xx -> 4.xx

[low moth]

Thanks for everyone's input. Very helpful.

[marble slate]

combined or individual? which better?

wait i think combine is better cause you know theres conflict

[obsidian tree]

I linked it because any modders will need this info. But I do also provide a file which is used by most save editors these days, so if the save editor automatically pulls this file, then you can do that and have the latest compatibility

[solid hawk]

Combined if they conflict, individual if no conflicts.

I personally only combine mods that have conflicts, so my MODS folder has several combines and a bunch of individual mod .paks.

[spare chasm]

Are there still any good FPS boosting mods being updated

[marble slate]

ah thats good idea

[wheat raven]

is it just me or tfw no updated save editor

[hearty wasp]

NMSSE should still be functional

It just doesn't recognize the new IDs

[drowsy solstice]

did this new update fix the refraction issue or is that still an issue, if anyone knows

[vital canopy]

Hello 🙂 I never use mod with NMS

I'm looking for a better camera , or better third person view (and ideally one as well to film in space without cockpit or third view) to film inside the game

Is there a mod for that ?

For camera you can try out this one: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2302

[low spear]

has anyone dug into the files to see what the new atlantid multitool is good at? (like is it good for mining, combat scanning etc)

[fresh arch]

I didn't do full on table comparison, just a quick look

[low spear]

and?

[fresh arch]

Staffs (or whatever the plural form is) have the same stat bonuses as Sentinel MTs

There are 3 types of Atlas MTs, there are some differences between them

But general idea is low to medium damage, high to very high mining and scanning

Scanning as in range, not the visor scanning rewards

[low spear]

so best for combat, while atlas MT’s are good for mining and scanning

[low spear]

and do installed parts change anything besides appearnace?

[fresh arch]

I think so? It's my first time dealing with these kinds of stats

I can't answer that

[low spear]

oh

do you use a program or do you just use, say notepad++ and try to understand HG-ian language?

[fresh arch]

Game ships files packed in PAK archives, need a tool called PSarc to unpack them

Then you get encrypted MBIN files, need a dedicated compiler to decrypt them

Then you're left with text based files that have XML structure, that can be opened in text editor or internet browser

I use VS Code just because I already had it installed, there isn't anything special about it

[low spear]

oo i found a cool easter egg

[shy grove]

@spark sluice In case this is what you were searching for. We got these pinned here.

• #nms-modding message
• #nms-modding message

[low spear]

so this random string of binary is actual text and it translates to "she is near"

[fresh arch]

But that's like #nms-spoilers or #nms-arg-2023 material

[low spear]

the next time you click it literally says "she is near"

thought its a cool easter egg that the devs didnt just put random numbers

[spark sluice]

Thanks, i saved it

[shy grove]

See FriendlyFire's comment above #nms-modding message

[hearty wasp]

not sure how I should setup the Getting Head update to accomodate the new robot heads

cos there're 15 new heads, and each head has 4 covering options

so that's 60 combinations

I guess I can add in another user input option to just have the heads in the presets and the covering option be selected within AMUMSS?

[kindred cargo]

does anyone know if NOMNOM is being updated to Echoes?

[hearty wasp]

in time, I'm sure

[cinder valley]

updated for echoes https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1377

[quasi mason]

is changing some stats, textures, shaders and models the only things that can be done in NMS mods?

[hearty wasp]

no

[quasi mason]

can any items be added?

[hearty wasp]

can and have

just that not many ppl does it because of inherit multiplayer limitations

on the people without the mods, that is

[quasi mason]

what about multitool modules and mechanics?

[hearty wasp]

search custom mods galore on Nexus

[quasi mason]

damn, I didn't knew that NMS can be modded further than just shaders

thanks

[hearty wasp]

just browse Nexus and sort by "Last Updated"

that's basically the extent we've come

Hello. What mods do y'all use for inventory management?

[fresh arch]

There are no mods for that

ah ha it works again woop woop thanks @fresh arch your a legend 😁

[wheat raven]

oh but still…

[next wigeon]

has anyone been able to save edit the new expedition rewards yet?

[hearty wasp]

just use Consumerism

the lua has the IDs if you just want the IDs

[next wigeon]

I don't use mods I don't know anything about that I just wanna see the new stuff, like what is a construct egg

[hearty wasp]

as I said, the IDs are in the Consumerism lua

and you just read lua like a text file

and the contruct is just a floating head pet

[next wigeon]

like laylaps or a companion?

[hearty wasp]

the latter

a pet

[next wigeon]

ah ok, thank you

[vagrant plank]

anyone know how to access that models folder (MODELS/COMMON/SPACECRAFT/)? Is it something you can access normally, or do you need a mod to extract them or something?

[hearty wasp]

https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/NoMansSky:The_Modding_Basics

either unpack your game or extract with NMSPE/NMSMB

but that folder alone doesn't contain the textures

so just unpack your game

just be careful with when the mod was updated as some are no long working and will crash the game

It'll probably be a hot minute before it's updated, unless the freighter stuff is a lot less complicated than it looks. Also depends on when xeno has time to fiddle with it

But it's highly recommended if you want a bit more meat to NMS gameplay

well he probvided lua scripts

so if those still work you're still set for now

he might indeed need to retweek the new freighter combat

you can uncomment the commented code

Can someone give me quick sliver if possible? ive tried to do this mission 8 times each time my game crashes

You can give it but it’s just an inventory item that sells for units, can’t use it, have to earn it your self or save edit the account

[hollow folio]

Dang man ig ill keep trying hopefully it doesn’t keep crashing

[sleek sapphire]

Yea I’d do the missions with mp off, and a tip if you don’t mind save cheesing a bit, once you got enough to buy most expensive stuff you can just reload restore after buying and keep the quicksilver and items unlocked

[hollow folio]

I already do that

But I didn’t have much quicksliver to begin with

[sleek sapphire]

Gotcha yea I’m at like 10k prob took 2 weeks or so to get around 7, that’s more than enough

I think the eggs are still most expensive at 3k or something

Not really #nms-modding but it's the closest I could get to the subject, as far as pic perms.

Anyone notice the matching textures used on the Pirate Dreadnaughts and the Space Station file leaks?

[solid hawk]

No, because the parts data isn't in the save file, other than the seed.

[sick maple]

Could the seed be changed in a way in which I can customize it? Like does a letter and number next to eachother be changed to make it different? And is it able to be predicted?

hi everyone, looking for recommendations for working overhauls (mainly planet generation and some QoL stuff), kinda tired of having to look through mods to see which ones are updated and solving conflicts so I would just like to get one big mod/pack that works out of the box and improves as many features as possible

[fresh arch]

Currently no such thing exists

We're past a major release, we're getting mods updated to be compatible with latest version of the game

But the bigger mods take longer, some of them like Better Planet Generation or Duds Sky are handcrafted so we will have to wait

As for QoL mods, check out Lo2k's work, they have dozens of smaller mods that should be updated

For solving conflicts there exists a tool called AMUMSS that can be used to detect and merge conflicting mods

Is their a mod to skip the scientist reboot time

I don’t wanna wait till 6:30 AM for this stupid guy to reboot

[marsh eagle]

It's not predictable, more like encryption like handling of the seed that leads to the parts. You can try this tool to generate every possible custom multitool inclduing preview: https://nms.center/

[hot ember]

is BPG and Duds what most people use? I get that there's been a big update, it's just a pain to look through what works and what doesn't since most modders seem to not make it very obvious

I know of AMUMSS and it seems like such a pain in the ass to use that I'd rather wait to get a big mod that handles a lot of things at once

[fresh arch]

I dont use either so I can't comment on that

But "most modders seem to not make it very obvious" is a bad take on the situation

The moders that are active mostly do note what version of the game mod is working on

And even if not, you sort the Nexus by recently updated mods

And look for mods that were updated since Echoes release

Using AMUMSS isn't a pain either

In most cases it boils down to putting a script in a folder, running the BUILDMOD script, answering a couple of questions and you're golden

[lime mesa]

Is there a mod that increases the base upload limit ?

[fresh arch]

The bot post has a link to a guide to AMUMSS explaining everything

Where is the problem ? Downbload amumss, put the lua scripts into the amumss ModScrpt folder and click BUILDMOD.bat. It's very simple

@fresh arch sorry for the ping but i have a question about your Music Player Madness mod

is it possible to add other music like outside of the game music to the mod myself?

I am not willing to learn another modding tool and sort through conflicting mods, I would rather just either wait for a big mod to be updated to download and go or not use any at all
just tired of dealing with problems when modding games in general but vanilla plays worse for me than simply switching to a different game
so I'll keep an eye out and wait a bit for a good pack, going to try Utopia Revamp for now or Parallel Universe since they're up to date

I can't get GoatFungus's save editor to work, every time i try to use it it just extracts into a jar file that I can't use

any save editor that can unlock the autophage stuff? already did it all on my main save and i started a new one. really dont want to wait again

[lime mesa]

Bumping

[fallow meadow]

This is not possible, as this limit is enforced.

[fallow meadow]

NMSSE (goatfungus) requires Java Runtime Environment 8. When you download the 'latest version' (shown in blue under Installation) from here:
https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor#Installation
The requirements are shown under 'Compatibility', make sure to grab the 64-bit install.

[lime mesa]

By hello games?

[fallow meadow]

@gray briar The .jar is the main executable, but for Java applications. The download will have a batch file (.bat) once extracted and installed. You'd usually want to run that, which will run the java app correctly.

[fallow meadow]

Yes, the upload limit can not be changed as we have no way of adjusting this. This is likely checked server side, or just out of reach to modify, in the executable.

[fresh arch]

I think @vale iron had something in their Debug mod for that?

[fallow meadow]

For what? To change upload limit?

[fresh arch]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1623

DisableBaseBuildingLimits - I believe this disables the 3000 piece limit for a single base.

[vale iron]

Doesn't change the upload limit though for sure

No, it doesn't. And without upload we can exceed 3000 parts anyway

What that one does, IIRC, is allows to place parts anywhere, removing the 'range limit'. Tricky though, as it can result in parts getting into BaseBuildingObjects (portable), instead of the PersistentPlayerBases

[quasi garden]

can you unlock autophage customization with goatfungus? want to do a new save and dont feel like waiting for all of it

[fallow meadow]

You can use a save editor to add all sorts of things, like items/tech/knowledge/etc. I would however not recommend messing with Mission Progress. If anything, you could adjust some difficulty settings perhaps?

[quasi garden]

yeah true.

i will play that new save regularly :)

[hearty wasp]

just use Consumerism

[gray briar]

So once I edit a save, that's it, I can just go back to my xbox and load it? Or do I need to load the PC version first

[gray briar]

Pretty sure you can, at least the parts available through expedition rewards

[hearty wasp]

your save needs to be uploaded to the cloud first

[gray briar]

Okay so load into PC NMS, got it

[hearty wasp]

and having the game save on PC is prolly the easiest way

[quasi garden]

will that let me get the poncho and all that

[hearty wasp]

yeah I put every single new body part in

[quasi garden]

:) ok thanks

i really think that unlockables should be account wide as well

[summer galleon]

Anyone having issues with their mods breaking the game? I have exosolar building and the pet unlocker mods, and my game crashes upon start if I have them enabled.

[hearty wasp]

game updates break mods

update or stop using em

[summer galleon]

Have stop using them for now

[hearty wasp]

BBB should already have been updated tho

to 4.40 at least I think

[quasi garden]

there now i have all the customization

:)

[hearty wasp]

👍

[lime mesa]

Will check it out, thank you brother

My city is over 3.5k parts so i dont really wanna stop at 3k

[fresh arch]

See the discussion above

That won't let you upload bases bigger that the limit

[hearty wasp]

yeah you can already build above 3k, just can't upload it

[solid hawk]

Both are updated since Thursday, you need to grab the latest versions. If you want to use mods with NMS, have to get used to checking for updates.

[lime mesa]

Id love to upload it and share with you all, thats why i was asking for something to increase it 🙂

[hearty wasp]

you can't

[lime mesa]

Pain, i hope HG increases it their end

[feral drift]

can i save edit my cape off?

[hearty wasp]

you can just not use a cape

or do you want the cape jetpack

[feral drift]

i ideally want nothing on my back, but cape jetpack would be closest to that

[hearty wasp]

metamod should have a no jetpack thing but it's only clientside iirc

otherwise you can do save editing or use Getting Head's lua

[feral drift]

do you know what section id have to save edit?

@hearty wasp Multiplayer is on yea

[hearty wasp]

that's irrelevant

I mean if you're using the public build

since you don't know what means I'd assume you are

in that case use the lua

the paks are updated for experimentals

[green prairie]

otherwise it doesnt work

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2456

[fallow meadow]

Check the variation that only has Atlas Path, Base Computer, and Living Ship. Or just focus on the LS and remove mod when done?

[fallow meadow]

I guess that would work too

[green prairie]

that mod makes the first living ship quest be like the second+ that you just talk with the alien ship and it spawns the living ship instead of doing everything again, but if you already started all the living ship quests that mod won't work

or at least didn't when someone else tried

[fallow meadow]

It seems to prevent actually completing Starbirth?

[green prairie]

basically, the mod makes starbirth be one step instead of all those

but if you already started it wont do anything probably

Are there any free save editors that I can use to change ship colours?

The one I found costs money, and all I wanna do is change the colour of some of my ships so they all black and white

[fresh arch]

Both Goatfungus and NomNom save editors which are pinned in this channel are free

And you don't change colours per se, you change the whole starship seed value that will result in different colors and parts

[lime mesa]

Tried the nomnom one when ever I change the ships colour the seed code disappears

And goatfungus don't work for me as I'm on xbox

[fallow meadow]

Ships are using seeds with no direct relation to colour to be able to adjust as you please. Changing seed to a model and colour you like would be the easiest way to go about it. That being said, it is possible to spend a lot more effort to customise your ship, which will then however not be visible the same way to other players. There are some guides and info on this, but I am not quite sure about any still working and updated posts on this.

[lime mesa]

I wish hello games would just add it in as a feature already like I just want all my ships to match my freighter

[fallow meadow]

Can always suggest it, which in this case is likely done a lot

Here is an old guide to give you an idea https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyMods/comments/dkob5c/manual_ship_and_multitool_color_customization/

People have been asking for it since day one if they haven't done it now they never will

[fallow meadow]

Not so sure about this never going to happen, but yes HG are likely aware we'd love to see this happen some day

[lime mesa]

Which sucks cause I've found so so many awesome ships but they are ruined by the horrible colour scheme

[fallow meadow]

Oh and this link: https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/NoMansSky:Reference_Guides/TEXTURES/Ship_Coloring

[lime mesa]

Ooo ok I'll check that out when I'm home from work

[flint basin]

wow love it, does it conflict with any other mod ? or with multiplayer ?

[fresh arch]

Custom colors will not show up for others in multiplayer session

As for conflicts, see the link Gumsk provides in description

Or use AMUMSS to tell you whether there are any conflicts with other mods

[flint basin]

amumss is a mod manager ?

[lime mesa]

So for anyone who needs it if you have a pc and NomNom save game editor I've noticed to change like haulers and stuff costs money and tho fighters are free you can't change the colours for free

But I just did a random Google search while bored in work and found this website

https://www.nmseeds.club/Seeds/Search/beyond/ship/dropship/FFDF00/index.html

You can search by ship and colour find the one you like then use NomNoms save editor to replace your ships seed with the one you want hope this helps someone

Yall know a mod that adds cities?

[lime mesa]

There isnt any

[hearty wasp]

I just build my own

[neon nova]

Anyone know what part of the JSON you have to edit to complete the campaign?

I assume Mission 51 "Act 3_Step4" not sure the progress though

[hearty wasp]

you'd be better off just using someone else's completed save

[bleak iris]

I have this problem

[fallow meadow]

Are you playing on Game Pass (Xbox PC)?

Oh hang on, Steam?

[bleak iris]

PC but i already solved it

but thx

[fallow meadow]

Ok 👍

[fallow meadow]

I would not recommend trying to save edit mission progress for completion. There is too much involved, with a huge risk of messing up. Maybe check your difficulty settings to skip some, perhaps some mods, or just get yourself some of the new items/tech/rewards or whatever else through the default save editor features. If you truly insist, absolutely make sure to have a backup. Even copying someone's save requires knowing what to do and making edits where it involves data specifically aimed at your account.

[summer socket]

on the NOMNOM can u make a save beat main story?

wait so i cna rename the DISABLEMODS folder right?

[hearty wasp]

DISABLEMODS is not a folder

it is a file

[hollow current]

oh wait

so i cna delete it without major consequences or should i rename it to whatever the wiki si saying?

[hearty wasp]

you can delete it

[hollow current]

oh ok

[hearty wasp]

or you can just follow the guide to the letter

following the guide is the most surefire way to have things work

[hollow current]

yeah deleted the DISABLEMODS file and added the mods folder

[hearty wasp]

👍

[hollow current]

it says it cant be in any other subfolder, but the mod downloaded into a zip, do i extract it?

[lavish fiber]

@hearty wasp great job keeping up the work on this mod. youve been working on it for a long time, its honestly really impressive

[hollow current]

do i extract the zip file of the mod?

@hearty wasp hello?

[tacit tide]

Yes, the mod files go into the MODS folder after you have deleted the DISABLEMODS.txt file

Next time there's an update, the DISABLEMODS.txt file may come back.

[hollow current]

ok yeah i extracted it and it appears to be working fine

[steel crypt]

What does that even mean?

[hearty wasp]

anyone can do it as long as they don't have a life

Sir, do you have a licence to store giant space lasers and missiles in your garden?

Parallel Universe has that and maybe Better Planet Generation

Keep in mind, you won't get an Earth will swamps, forests, deserts, frozen, etc. Two or three is it I think, and not every planet will be multiple

[fair belfry]

Quick question I've been curious about, can I use mods and play multiplayer at the same time?

[green prairie]

yes

[fair belfry]

Oh, nice!

Any serious bugs, or something?

[green prairie]

unless the mod is broken it shouldn't have any bug

but if you're using mods that change terrain generation, then you will be the only one seeing the terrain different, unless the other player is also using the mod

so for them you will be floating, or inside the ground who knows

[fair belfry]

Nah I just want mods that give me qol things, like faster interactions and whatnot

Maaaaybe a mod that increases biome types too, cuz sometimes they get a bit repetitive

Would either of these cause problems?

Are there even mods for this?

[hearty wasp]

#nms-modding message

obligatory

[fair belfry]

lmao

But thanks man! Glad to know I can improve my experience without affecting other players (or bugs destroying my save)

I imagine qol mods would also not affect that, so I'm immediately downloading a mod for faster interactions because god, I feel like I'm gonna break my mouse spamming left click in conversations

Really appreciate it :)

Wait how do I know if a mod is broken or not

The upload/update date is prob the biggest indicator but it doesn't always mean it works or not

[quasi mason]

mods can even add custom missions? shit I want to try to make my own mod now

can mods add something like movement abilities?

[fresh arch]

Yes, mods can add custom missions

It's just a helluva mess so not many people do it

As for movement abilities, probably not

We are limited to using existing elements / mechanics of the game

Tweaking their values or repurposing them in new scenarios

[quasi mason]

even though there is custom tech I guess there is no way I can add fishing into the game

how can I start making mods for NMS though?

[fresh arch]

[merry wasp]

Whats up with people and fishing

[hearty wasp]

Some ppl just like fishing man

[fresh arch]

Just another step into turning this game into Skyrim

And making it finally playable 🙏

[merry wasp]

So all we need is dragons, swords, magic, elaborate quests, proper npc's, cities, dungeons

[fresh arch]

I think staffs and different weapon modules for MTs cover magic

No those cover the bows/crossbows and staffs

[fresh arch]

Yup looks like it

i dont even know if it has one

can someone confirm or deny

[wheat pumice]

any good jetpack mods that work since the update?

[hearty wasp]

yeah

search "jetpack" on nexus

sort by last updated

[marble ravine]

ok i tried using nom nom to see if that worked it didnt

goatfungus has the feature it just hasent added the auto phage items to the list

nvm im jus stupid

[marble ravine]

fuck never mind im back to square one the items didn't exactly count as unlocked since i didn't pick them up but the game saw them as already unlocked because i got them then reloaded a save because i knew it was a bug so they displayed as obtainable for free because of that i thought adding them to my character and then removing them but that didnt work i still can just get them for free i wolud have to edit my account itself not just the save and i dont know how to do that if its even possible

Okay so I want to transfer my Xbox save of NMS to Steam

Do I need to open both Xbox version and Steam version before initiating the transfering process?

Hello! I'm very new to the game and is about 20+ hrs in, I'm trying to find out if there's any performance improvement mods out there

[plain oyster]

Yes this one! Do you got the location of it so I can get one that’s translucent in the back and higher quality?

[boreal saffron]

I'm trying to use the nomnom save editor for my Xbox account, but nothing changes even after I save it.. anybody know why?

[gentle cloud]

Is there a mod that removes the particle effects on pet cosmetics?

[fresh arch]

Not really. There is a mod that removes the freeze / lag when exiting planets atmosphere but I wouldn't recommend installing it now with all the updates happening

[fresh arch]

The image I uploaded has transparent background and it's the highest quality. Visor icons do not get higher res because they are supposed to be small

I just exported it to PNG format, nothing else

[plain oyster]

Ah mb

[flint basin]

probably because xbox files are server-stored (unsure of this) so it doesnt use your version because microsoft dont like cheating much

[tepid tide]

that moment where you realise you can use any ship you want

[limber hearth]

Hi! Does anyone know if there is a mod patching the crappy multiplayer in NMS, with a proper dedicated server where everything works better?

No such thing exists

That is totally outside of the current scope of modding for this game

[idle patrol]

Are there any mods that can help the game run in vr?

[merry wasp]

Nms has full vr support

[fresh arch]

Just a quick note: I don't know if I will be able to update my mods for 4.43 today due to issues with internet connection

[idle patrol]

My pc struggles to run it on even the most basic settings, I have a 2070 super and a really good cpu so I know that isn’t it

I’ve tried every solution and nothing helps

[fresh arch]

Mods won't help you with that

[merry wasp]

I will update when i'm in the mood for it, probably friday or Saturday

[fresh arch]

No I mean it

[idle patrol]

Then what am I supposed to do? Beg for them to optimize the game?

[fresh arch]

AMUMSS is stuck on downloading version info

Because my radio conn has troubles due to bad weather

[fresh arch]

Im afraid so, or invest in better hardware

There aren't really any performance optimizing mods

And there's very few mods that would target VR

[idle patrol]

This is the ONLY game I struggle to run

[merry wasp]

Well unlike other vr games i do think NMS might be big in scope

But i'd say ask in main/help channel

[fresh arch]

Because not many people have it

[merry wasp]

There are vr players

They might know

Pretty sure only 0.1% of mod authors has vr

[fresh arch]

My point is: modding is not the way to solve the issues OP has

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

Note: This is meant to be a fallback only in case NomNom is failing to transfer. So please try using NomNom's Save Transfer feature first!

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

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

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

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

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

Make sure to check the 'regex' tick-box and replace the following parts:

Transfer sorted with @outer cargo
NomNom fails to autodetect USN/UID/LID requirements, so some additional searching is required to get that info. The transfer feature otherwise functions fine, which is still preferred over using the above fallback. CC: @fresh arch @hearty wasp

[fresh arch]

Sooo next time someone asks for assistance with save transfer we point to NomNom and that guide above?

[fallow meadow]

Yes, NomNom is still the way to go, just the auto-detection failing. Still easier to just look into the raw json to get that info, than trying the above 'daunting' solution. Either way have to be more experienced to figure out. Will hopefully see it fixed in NomNom soon enough.

so i think i can edit item unlock data GCUSERSSETTINGSDATA.MXML i don't know if doing anything in that will fix my problem but i hope it does i dont know coding terms so its rather hard to read what exactly "seenproducts" or any other variations like technology and substances. i don't really know if its just items i have actually just seen or items that i have unlocked in my catalog and if it will even work if i lock the items i want to lock again because i don't know if they are technically unlocked because i bought them with a bug then reloaded a save point witch caused another "bug" because i had unlocked it in a previous save even though i reloaded so it gave me the items for free at the auto phage terminal but i didn't actually earn them and i didnt pick up the free ones yet because i don't want to mess up a chance to reverse this

[fallow meadow]

What items are you actually referring to?

[marble ravine]

the autophage items, basically i accidentally bought all the auto phage parts with units (when that was a bug) at the time i did not realized it was a bug until after i acquired them however after that that created another "bug" (although its probobly a way for people not to lose items) and they where free at the auto phage terminal and im assuming that's tied to my account

[fallow meadow]

Ok yes, I think I understand now after looking back in history. Let us move to #964865106334875698 and see if we can get thsi sorted

[formal spindle]

Hi, i'd like to get into save editing to get the expedition related stuff
can someone ELI5?

i'm on xbox/gamepass

[lime mesa]

Same

I also need the help

[feral drift]

I can explain how to use it, and sorta how to set it up for steam

[lime mesa]

How does one set it up for gamepass pc

Cuz I think we are both on that

[feral drift]

Ahh that might require an online guide

[fallow meadow]

@formal spindle Currently you would have to download and install NMSSE (goatfungus), for which you can find a link in the pins somewhere.
Once installed, you make sure it finds your saves, to then switch to the Account tab. On the account tab you select the rewards you wish to get, Make sure the Save Editor saved, go into the game, visit the Anomaly, redeem your rewards at the QS bot

[lime mesa]

Ok

Can it save edit in basic items like anomaly detectors?

[formal spindle]

yeah

[lime mesa]

Ok

[formal spindle]

thanks devilin i'll check that out

[fallow meadow]

Yes, it can do a lot more than just expedition rewards. Make a backup just in case. Do not make it yourself too easy, because it can also ruin the fun.

[formal spindle]

i'm just trying to unlock expedition stuff, the rest i'll do myself

[formal spindle]

this... ive ruined my fun too often with save editors lol

expedition stuff is locked so 🤷‍♂️

[fallow meadow]

I am fine either way, but just a fair warning, as it is a very powerful tool

[formal spindle]

yeah

[formal spindle]

NMSSE works for the gamepass version, right?

[feral drift]

Is finding the save different on Xbox pc tho

[formal spindle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjAYftOxgMU

i believe this guy found how to find our xbox saves on pc

if his tutorial is accurate, wich i have no clue

[fallow meadow]

Yes, both NomNom and NMSSE will work, but NomNom has not updated yet to include all new items

[formal spindle]

Oh so this guy's video is oudated then, he uses nomnom

[fallow meadow]

You will need a PC, because you can not do it directly on the console. You sync saves with the MS Cloud, then on PC you have access to edit, which can then be synced back to be used on either PC or console again

[feral drift]

Ah not too different, I thought I’d be unable to help because it’d be harder to find the save

[formal spindle]

Devilin, if my pc cant run the game properly, that's irrelevant right? i just need the save files to upload/get in my pc?

[fallow meadow]

%LocalAppData% = C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\...

[formal spindle]

so i just need to launch it even if it crashes after a couple minutes?

[fallow meadow]

Correct

[formal spindle]

sweet

i can edit my quicksilver i assume 👀

[fallow meadow]

NomNom is still fine, but not for the latest items at the moment.

[fallow meadow]

Yes, can edit that too

[formal spindle]

so exped 12 wont be on nomnom?

[fallow meadow]

Shall we try 11 first?

It will be, soon enough, just not updated yet

[formal spindle]

if nomnom doesnt have ALL expedition related items i wont use it anyways

there was another one you mentioned, is it up to date?

[formal spindle]

this one

[fallow meadow]

And when you use NMSSE, finding the save path may require you to manually look for the location. Make sure to go another folder further into it, where you find containers.index and it should recognise the path/saves from there

[formal spindle]

oki

[fallow meadow]

#nms-modding message > NMSSE (goatfungus), which requires Java 64-bit installed, read the GitHub info

[formal spindle]

simply launching the game should get me the save file right

on the pc i mean

yeah it synced

[lime mesa]

So when I open up goatfungus it says to select a file but it shows now game slots

My data is synced

What do I do

[fallow meadow]

Does it show a Save Path?

[lime mesa]

It says no path selected

[fallow meadow]

Then you have to manually browse to it

[lime mesa]

Where do I find it

[fallow meadow]

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Packages\HelloGames.NoMansSky_bs190hzg1sesy\SystemAppData\wgs\<verylongalphanumericfoldername>\...

Do not select anything in that last folder, just click the open button

[lime mesa]

And then how do I transfer that into the save editor

Ok

[fallow meadow]

Once it found the path, your save slots become available under the dropdown below

[lime mesa]

So I should find that folder via the save editor?

[fallow meadow]

Yes, click 'File' at the top and then 'Open File/Path' to browse there manually

[lime mesa]

Ok

[formal spindle]

i'm having issue just getting the save editor to run

it just keeps uncompressing

instead of launching the app

[lime mesa]

I can't find appdata in my user file

[fallow meadow]

The download is a self-extracting archive (.exe). When you double-click or run it, it will extract into the files it needs. Once that is done you can run the .bat file to run the editor

[fallow meadow]

It looks like you downloaded the source files, not the install

[formal spindle]

i'm very confused, im sorry

[fallow meadow]

On GitHub, scroll down to installation, get it from 'latest' in blue

[lime mesa]

What Abt me

How do I find appdata

With this

[fallow meadow]

Are you browsing from the editor?

[lime mesa]

Yes

[fallow meadow]

Ok, I guess you may have to show hidden files/folders first then

[lime mesa]

How do I do that perchance

[fallow meadow]

Stop the search from the editor. Open your normal file explorer instead

[lime mesa]

Ok

[fallow meadow]

At the top click on the 'View' tab

[lime mesa]

K

Did jt

[fallow meadow]

Then at the right side you see 'Options', then select to 'change folder and search options'

[lime mesa]

I figured out

[fallow meadow]

Ah ok

@formal spindle Still confused?

[fallow meadow]

No need to be sorry though

[formal spindle]

I've got the download i think

translating from french to english and back is a pain especially with this kind of thing xD

i'm bilingual but a dumby when it comes to pc

i did not find a BAT file

[fallow meadow]

Yes, the 2nd NMSSaveEditor file is the .bat file, which will launch the appliaction

[formal spindle]

the window with gears in it?

[fallow meadow]

You can not find it, because you are not showing 'file extensions'

[fallow meadow]

Yes, correct

[formal spindle]

it says system 32 and it cant do anything

[lime mesa]

So now I have the slots

[formal spindle]

it doesnt find java or some shit?

[fallow meadow]

Ah, you do not have Java installed, which is required ot run the application

[lime mesa]

How do I know which to choose

[formal spindle]

🤦‍♂️

i'll do that 😅

[lime mesa]

Nvm

[formal spindle]

i just reinstalled windows last week so alot is missing xD

[lime mesa]

I found it

[fallow meadow]

@formal spindle Go here: https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
Install Windows Offline (64-bit)

[formal spindle]

you're awesome, thank you for your time and help

i'm getting too old for tech xD

[fallow meadow]

de rien ... All good. Do not hesitate to ask further questions

[formal spindle]

WOOZA!

the save editor is up and running

[formal spindle]

.

hmmm

[lime mesa]

Alr I should have saved my changes

Booting it up rn

[formal spindle]

i can't find my save and i've done the show hidden etc

[fallow meadow]

It did not auto-detect the location?

[formal spindle]

nah

[fallow meadow]

I will have to make sure goatfungus is going to fix that

[formal spindle]

i'll see if its because i havent goten inside the game yet

i downloaded and got to the menu ingame

but didnt load

could that be why?

[lime mesa]

It worked!!!! Tysm

[fallow meadow]

Can you show me what the main screen of the save editor is showing?

[lime mesa]

Game crashed right after tho lol

[formal spindle]

lmao what did you do xD

[lime mesa]

Nothing

PC is just kinda bad

[formal spindle]

no i mean, what did you edit

Oh i see

[fallow meadow]

That is not the correct location

[formal spindle]

that's what it does upon booting

[lime mesa]

Expedition and anomaly detectors

[formal spindle]

same as me basically

[lime mesa]

Yep

[fallow meadow]

@formal spindle This PC, then C: drive

[lime mesa]

Rebooting it, hopefully it doesn't crash as I try and save

[fallow meadow]

Then follow along as I wrote earlier

[formal spindle]

imma go find the file itself without the editor 1st

C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Packages\HelloGames.NoMansSky_bs190hzg1sesy\SystemAppData\wgs<verylongalphanumericfoldername>...

ic ant just copy that into the driver can i

very long alphanumerical? xD

i'm assuming thats for pointers and not an actual link

[fallow meadow]

correct

[fallow meadow]

That top one, once open, is where the saves actually are

[formal spindle]

i opened the top one

ok

now how do i input that into the save editor?

[fallow meadow]

It should have 'containers.index'

[formal spindle]

yeah

[fallow meadow]

In the Save Editor You click 'File' at the top, then select 'Open File/Path' and browse to the location, then click the open button once you are in the correct location

So pretty much the same, just from within the save editor

[formal spindle]

so i just re-do the search like i just did but simply cia the UI of the save editor

oki

if they can make it that it auto select it would save some hassle to the user

but once you understand it, its not that big a deal

[fallow meadow]

Exactly, but having to explain over and over is becoming sort of a big deal

[formal spindle]

indeed

sorry for the hassle

that's good, right?

[fallow meadow]

That looks correct

Now you can select the 'slot' from the dropdown. Doing that will always get the last save for the slot, which can be either the auto-save or the manual save.

[formal spindle]

sweet

now i just need to find the expedition tab

there's alot of twitch drop wth xD

[fallow meadow]

I think everything else sort of explains itself there. Just know that account wide items are available on the 'Account' tab. Similarly you could edit either the save data, or the account data using the JSON editor. You choose which from the 'Edit' at the top. Editing the JSON is for advanced users, and usually not required for the more basic things

[formal spindle]

found them they call them season rewards

yeah i won't mess with JSON stuff

i'll just unlock stuff i cant have anymore

[fallow meadow]

Yes. You can put a checkmark for any you wish to add, then you still have to visit the Anomaly in-game to actually redeem them

[formal spindle]

oki

thank you so much 🙂

have a nice evening

[fallow meadow]

Likewise, enjoy!

[formal spindle]

hai it's me again 😅

can i use the save editor to make the game think ive done the living ship quest?

so i can start hunting living ships without the 7 day quest?

[fallow meadow]

Not recommended.

[formal spindle]

figured i'd ask 😛

thanks for the honesty

[fallow meadow]

Normally using a mod helps, but considering you are actually playing on console, this will not help you

[formal spindle]

would the save editor allow me to change ship component? IE : change sail color on my solar ship?

trying to see how deep i can edit

or would that also be a mod?

i'm only interested in cosmetic edits ngl

[fallow meadow]

The mission progress system is very complicated to edit correctly, with many steps involved. Alternatively you could however adjust so called 'timestamp' values which are used for almost everything. This has to be done correctly though, and requires the JSON editor and is for more advanced users.

[formal spindle]

i will avoid that

gave me a funny number of money, some quicksilver (6k) and edited all the expedition and twitch drop

now just trying to see if i can edit ship colors

or would that also be some JSON shit?

[fallow meadow]

Ships, multi-tools, and many other things are procedurally generated using 'seed' values. There is no linear relation between that value and the colours/parts it alters. So you would basically have ot search an existing ship or otherwise and then alter yours to that seed.

[formal spindle]

gotcha

[fallow meadow]

You can have a look in another discord that deals with a lot of that

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[formal spindle]

can i create a seed?

oh

ty

well it wont be needed

as i was looking for seeds i found the perfect solar ship lol

imma just go grab it

[fallow meadow]

Ohhh, nice one indeed. Might want to share it in #explorers-archive?

[formal spindle]

can you? i dont have permission to post there

it's in euclid

i wont bother you any longer 😄

[fallow meadow]

I can of course, but it was your find, so safe it for later. You'll likely get the 'familiar' role soon enough

[formal spindle]

oki

[fallow meadow]

I am about to call it a night indeed, so unless you have further questions, I'll go poofff now

[formal spindle]

just need to know how to re-upload the save to my xbox but i assume simply launching the game will do that

i apreciate you, rest well

[fallow meadow]

I believe it will sync as soon as you log into Game Pass on PC

[formal spindle]

hmmm oki

it doesnt sync on my xbox saying that the "other xbox is taking too much time to sync"

uhoh

@lime mesa how did you sync from pc to xbox?

every edit worked BUT not the quicksilver edit 🤔

[lime mesa]

Saved in pc

Then went to xbox

Wifi on

[formal spindle]

ok

i managed to get my save on xbox

[lime mesa]

Epoc

[formal spindle]

i just need to figure out how to redeem the twitch drops

and my quicksilver did NOT edit tho

[lime mesa]

Go to quicksilver companion

For twitch drops

[formal spindle]

need to be offline to do that right?

[lime mesa]

No

Online

I thibk

[formal spindle]

ah the editor said to do it offline

[lime mesa]

Ig try it either way

[formal spindle]

yeah

yup needed to be offline

all the expedition etc is fine online but twitch dropped poped when i went offline

[fair belfry]

I'm thinking of downloading Utopia Revamp 2, what do you guys think about the mod? Is it good?

Some changes feel a bit excessive though (mainly stats and mechanics changes)

I'm conflicted on the exocraft changes, some are really good and exactly what I was looking for (increased speed is great because there isn't much reason to use them when you have pretty much infinite ship fuel) but the mech's jetpack is far too much in the mod

Idk though

[merry wasp]

I mean you could disable that part no? Or edit it

Or use a stand alone mod from nexusmods

[green prairie]

you used to be able to enable or disable part of his mods and run the script to create a new pak

no idea how it is right now

[fresh arch]

Not really

Only thing that comes to my mind: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2812

[outer cargo]

Again thanks for this

[keen scaffold]

Hey would QoL mods cause issues with multiplayer? I mostly just want to snag fast actions and better ship teleport range

[fresh arch]

No

[green prairie]

I think jason is the only one that has a mod that to him at least improves performance, which is his mod changing grass

but that one you will need to get the LUA and make it yourself

[sage wyvern]

Can someone tell me which version supported steamworks online API and how can I downgrade the game version?

[fallow meadow]

I believe Workshop support was pre-Next update, which added multi-player and overhauled base building. For older versions you might want to do a search for SteamRE/DepotDownloader.

[blazing crescent]

Ive got some modded planet addresses Id like to share, should I put the screenshots in here or #nms-media ?

[lime mesa]

Is anyone good at save editing? I want to change a specific building generation in my settlement but idk how to do it in the raw JSON

Using the goatfungus editor

[formal spindle]

i never got the balls to play with JSON files myself..

anyone knows how to force an upload? the game keeps crashing on my pc but i'm trying to upload my edited file...
anyone knows if supercharging a freighter might just cause the game to crash?

because that's the only edit i did between two upload and now i cannot open the game on pc without it crashing after selecting said file

my file on the xbox is safe so i can always just reupload it to my pc if thats the case, i assume

[solid hawk]

As Syzzle mentioned, will need to generate the .paks yourself, using these scripts and AMUMSS

[fresh arch]

Are those on Nexus? Or just not updated hence you share the LUAs?

[solid hawk]

For the NMSSE using the interceptor version, should still work for the latest version, trying to get the drone shell

Also where can I find my save file if I am using it?

[mortal pike]

Use the version updated for the Echoes patch

[lime mesa]

Alr ty

[keen scaffold]

Hey so I used a save editor to re unlock expedition rewards, but in doing so it also unlocked the autophage race for customization. I havent done that questline yet and want to it legit

Any idea what I can take away in the save editor to re-lock that?

are the construct chest, arms, boots, etc etc part of autophage stuff?

[shy grove]

What did you do exactly with the save editor to unlock "expedition rewards"? Or how did you do it?

And which autophage race customization items are you referring to that were unlocked that you're concerned with? Do you have a list of names of items / codes, or screenshots?

cc @fallow meadow @round sinew in case you're around and are better acquainted with the unlocks discussed here (since I still haven't had a chance to play Echoes or the new expo)

[keen scaffold]

I went to the account section and unlocked the expedition rewards there, plus the construct pieces (I thought those were S10 expedition rewards, but maybe I'm wrong). And before that the entire autophage race and all its customization stuff was locked, it would have the other 5 races then just "locked" in the customization station, now its fully unlocked with all pieces

[shy grove]

Do you happen to have a screenshot of what you're seeing now in the appearance modifier? It may help us decipher what's going on. Hopefully someone else here will be better acquainted with the latest changes from Echoes to help more.

[keen scaffold]

basically its just that the entire autophage race is unlocked there when I havent done the echoes quest yet

when before it was locked completely and i couldnt even select it

and i can choose pretty much every autophage cosmetic

I dont have a screenshot from before unfortunately

<:NmsAtlas:972222451801010207> Expedition Rewards

See image below »

Contributor: Devilin Pixy#9298

[shy grove]

I see. Yeah, that definitely looks like content unrelated to Expedition 10: Singularity

1. Do you have a backup of the save, so you can go back and only unlock the parts that you mean to unlock?
2. If not (btw, when save editing, we do HIGHLY recommend making your own extra safe backup in case this type of issue occurs), have you tried unchecking the items that aren't part of the expedition?

See list above ( #nms-modding message ), which includes the codes that correspond to previous expeditions, which could help identify what you need to uncheck or remove from the list. Relevant pin with other info that could help: #nms-modding message

[keen scaffold]

Oh wait, I think I see it, I thought Voyagers was the last expedition, not the current one, and I unlocked those rewards too. 2 of those are autophage heads

let me try removing the Voyagers stuff and seeing if it relocks

[acoustic vortex]

https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor is this the right save editor?

[fallow meadow]

That is one of the options and currently the only one updated to the current version, so I would recommend using it for now.

[keen scaffold]

yeah thats it, I updated it before editing

[acoustic vortex]

can you help me download it?

[fallow meadow]

The other option would be NomNom. See pins for either

[acoustic vortex]

im tryna download the exe but theres no file

[fallow meadow]

Sure, I can help you. One moment though

[acoustic vortex]

oh wait nvm

i should hit download raw file right

[fallow meadow]

@keen scaffold Both NMSSE and NomNom should have made a backup, which is stored in a folder with the application. Maybe have a look there to revert changes made?

[acoustic vortex]

no nevermind its there

[fallow meadow]

No, just scroll down to the Installation part

There is a 'latest version' for download

Requirements are mentioned right above

Which for PC, is basically making sure to have Java 8 64-bit installed

[acoustic vortex]

what do i do now, and why does it say it was modified in the future?

no wait nvm

but what i do now

[fallow meadow]

What other files are there?

[acoustic vortex]

the exe

i just extracted the jar now what?

[fallow meadow]

That is why I ask about the other files that came with it

[acoustic vortex]

what

i extracted the jar before u asked me

i showed u the jar

[fallow meadow]

There should be a few more files, of which one is used to run the jar file

[acoustic vortex]

nah i was opening jar with wrong thing

had to open ith java

[fallow meadow]

If you insist though, open a command prompt, execute the following:
java -jar NMSSaveEditor.jar -autoupdate (hope you have the path correct, or as environment variable)

It is just so much easier to actually read and follow the instructions, to then simply execute a .bat that is meant for making your life easier

[acoustic vortex]

"Run the bat file (or the jar file if the file extension is associated to java"

thats what im doing

your not the brightest are u

[fallow meadow]

Not going there, considering you were asking ...

[acoustic vortex]

does it work if i got nms through xbox app (im on pc)

[keen scaffold]

i believe so but im not too sure

[fair belfry]

Hey guys I'm doing the expedition but a milestone is bugged. Someone suggested a workaround but it involves using a save editor, which I have no idea how to use

Or even what it is
