[fair belfry]

Soooo what's a save editor? Which one should I get and how do I use it

[fallow meadow]

I would suggest to download NMSSE (goatfungus), because it has updated to the current version of the game. An other good alternative would be NomNom, which should hopefully soon follow being updated as well.
See links in pin here: #nms-modding message

Considering this will require some more advanced save editing (the raw JSON data), I would recommend to join me in #964865106334875698 , so we can go through this step by step.

Let me know if that is ok with you and we'll move over. If you do wish to try for yourself, please make sure you have a backup of your saves prior to attempting the possible solution/workaround you found

[fair belfry]

Dang, it's that complicated, huh?

So it's either this, or wait who knows how long for a patch.... 🤔

[fallow meadow]

(my solution differs, and actually fulfils the requirement to call that milestone a day and lets you claim the reward in-game.)

[fallow meadow]

I am afraid so, but if I dare say, you should be in good hands with me

[fair belfry]

How long would the process take? An hour? 5 minutes?

[fallow meadow]

Should not take too long, assuming you follow along

Certainly not an hour

[fair belfry]

Very well, I'm down

[fallow meadow]

Alright, see you there #964865106334875698

[lime mesa]

Hello, I am wondering if there is an easy way to get the exact Model file & Materials for one of the ships I found in the game and have it in my creative save.

Aka rip the model that I found with the materials to be loaded into Blender

[hearty wasp]

the first and second aim are completely different

do you want it in the game or out of the game

[lime mesa]

Out of the game

[hearty wasp]

so not in your creative save or whatever

[lime mesa]

nah, I already own it in the save, I just wanna rip the model from it

[hearty wasp]

cool

then use NMSDK

!moddinglink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/22ZAU9H

[lime mesa]

okay

[hearty wasp]

go there and head to the nmsdk channel

[raven smelt]

So happy i figured out how to skip artemis questline on a new save with the editor

Tired of doing it every time i start a new save on updates xD

[ornate cove]

Share this knowledge

I beg of you

[raven smelt]

@ornate cove https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3026134039

to skip artemis questline using save editor JSON

it puts you one jump away from the final interface

excellent for when you wanna start a fresh save but not have to complete artemis for the 49 thousandth time

[ornate cove]

My savior

Thank you

[raven smelt]

you still need to complete atlas questline but if youre doing this after the expedition you should already be at or close to magellan so its super quick to complete

@ornate cove make sure you do it to the T, if you mis-type or delete something you arent supposed to it can corrupt your save file

double check before you save after each alteration as a general rule of thumb

[ornate cove]

Noted

[lime mesa]

Hi, so I'm currently downloading this game, is there a save file I can download to make it a lil easier for me

[sage wyvern]

where do I put .lua files? Inside the mods folder along with .pak or nah

[fresh arch]

LUA files are only for AMUMSS

Game reads data from PAK archives placed inside the MODS folder

[lime mesa]

Hey I read up that when you are on a new save I shoudnt add a new ship through save editor because it messes with the story and you can progress is that true?

[fresh arch]

If you're just startign with a game, just pick either the Relaxed or Creative modes

Dont bother with save editors or saves from web or mods

Just play the game on lowest difficulty mode and learn stuff

[lime mesa]

Only asking because I heard its a grindy game and I don't have a lot of time so wanted to give myself some stuff to make it a quicker pace

[sage wyvern]

I remember playing the game back in the days when it came out and there was a mod for stack sizes and I kinda miss it now since every single one that I tried is crashing my game. Is there an updated one that actually works?

[fresh arch]

Grab any stack mod that comes with a LUA script, like this one for example from Gumsk: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2068?tab=description

[sage wyvern]

thanks I'll try it out

[fresh arch]

Run the LUA script through AMUMMS to compile the mod for the current game files

[hearty wasp]

No

[nimble steeple]

does anyone know the website where you can get downloads to completed versions of all the expeditions? i cant remember the website link i used it a couple months ago

[shy grove]

to unlock the rewards for all expeditions on PC, we have save editor and game mods information pinned here: #nms-modding message

[cedar thunder]

Wait you can edit a save to get expedition rewards from ones you missed??

[hearty wasp]

always has been

[cedar thunder]

is it complex at all or pretty straight forward?

[hearty wasp]

idk I just use Consumerism™️

[cedar thunder]

whats that?

[hearty wasp]

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

[cedar thunder]

ooo interesting

so basically it unlocks all past expedition rewards to buy for quicksilver?

[hearty wasp]

yeah p much

except I think like a tech recipe or two

[cedar thunder]

I like that, instead of just giving myself all of it I still gotta grind a bit

thanks

[hearty wasp]

sure

[strong rock]

Heyy, I had a question if I could convert my saves from my ps4 slim to my pc?

[cedar thunder]

this is my current mod list. I load into the main menu fine but when I load into any save it crashes. Any idea what is cuasing it?

Im assuming its a DUDs thing

ill just remove em 1 by 1 and see when it fixes itself

ah yea I removed all the DUD mods and it works so idk if his stuff is broken or what

[hearty wasp]

the more words thing is prolly broke

anything older than a few days is highly likely broke

read the mod page's comments section

if ppl complain then it's prolly broke

[cedar thunder]

nah for some reason all of the DUD mods are crashing upon loading into a save. the mod page says they work though

but they might not I guess

[hearty wasp]

you can choose to not believe me I guess

[cedar thunder]

ah no last update was june so i dont think its updated for echos

[hearty wasp]

it's just that that file that mod modifies was changed in every update since then

[cedar thunder]

removing duds and keeping more words loaded fine

but I removed both for now since they seem broken

Or compile the mods yourself if LUA / C# scripts are provided

[turbid oxide]

Are there any good cheat mods I can use

And if so can somebody name a few for me as I'm new

[fresh arch]

You don't need cheats when you can tune your difficulty settings

Reducing combat, pricing, technology drain, etc

You can change presets mid-game

[serene goblet]

Is there a mod that increases the spawn frequency of fauna? To help with these underground creatures.

[cedar thunder]

wow the consumerism mod is absolutely insane. SOOO much stuff to buy lol

i might have to increase QS rates or something

jesus

[indigo tangle]

Is there a mod that lets the game load even if you are tabbed out?

[serene goblet]

Run it in borderless.

[indigo tangle]

It is borderless

teleporting doesnt load when im tabbed out

[serene goblet]

Ah ok. Don't know. Loads on my side. It loads until the actual entry into the new scene. Then it stops until I tab in. Am not a modder, Maybe the "real" ones can help. 🙂

[steel crypt]

DUD'S mods of all kinds are not updated for 4.43....yet
They are compatible with 4.34
Working on it. If I get lucky, maybe today? (Don't hold me to that lol) Might want to check back in a few hours.

[steel crypt]

Sometimes it will run (whatever part of the game...on planet...in warp tunnel etc.) the game when "tabbed out". Sometimes not. Most of time for me it runs. For others it's opposite. 🤷‍♂️ For some never.

[wispy onyx]

I updated my unpacker script

[lime mesa]

I need to use a save editor to delete an invisible base computer (Because I'm an idiot and missed a step in building my orbital base.) How do I setup the save editor and remove the base computer?

I'm using it now but it says that any base with ObjectID Base_FLAG is fine, but all my bases have them? Meaning they're apparently not glitched. But they are.

[vale iron]

Was it built at a high altitude?

[lime mesa]

hi, after i add items to the save editor do i just click save and open my game?

[vale iron]

Yeah

If you built the base too high, it won't render. You'll need to find that base by looking at the base name at the end of the base entries in save editor, then just delete the whole contents of that base number in the editor pane and save.

[lime mesa]

Yeah. I fixed it now though :)

[vale iron]

Coolio

[cerulean pawn]

just curious if it's able to mod or save edit on Steam Deck

[steel crypt]

[fresh arch]

Yes you can, Steam Deck is just a PC . You have access to the games installation folder to put mods in.

Dunno about save editor working on Linux, but you could just save edit on a Windows PC and have the save synced via Steam Cloud

[fresh arch]

@inner tusk

yo, is there a way to extract 3d files of ships from no mans sky?

[violet tide]

My problem this time was caused by "Item Stack Size Multiplier" uploaded to Nex*^ mods by Hahnsolo5314 mod#2766 10x file

[lime mesa]

I'm new and I'm wondering if anyone's got some cool looking decked out ships that I can import into save editor

[fresh arch]

For seed values for starships you can visit

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[fresh arch]

They got channels were they post various types of ships with their seeds

You could also use their customizers bot to find the seed for the parts combination you want

[pearl imp]

is it possible to mod on mac?

[fresh arch]

Nope

[pearl imp]

😦

[lime mesa]

What do you do with the seeds?

[grim ibex]

can someone help me

[fresh arch]

You input them at the save editor to change the starship into a new model

I thought you knew that based on how you wanted to "import stuff into save editor"

[fresh arch]

Are you going to tell us what do you need help with, or should we use our mind reading powers?

[steel crypt]

Yeah. You can use the blender plug-in I think.
Haven’t done it myself. Others have.

[lime mesa]

Yeh import files, wasnt sure how to import seeds

[fresh arch]

You dont import files into save data

[grim ibex]

itss with the json data

[potent flicker]

who pinged me

[grim ibex]

secret

[lime mesa]

Yeh, I mean you click import right, and your select the file to upload it to your save

[potent flicker]

i am trying to do it for

3 hours now

[grim ibex]

its with skipping artemis quest

[potent flicker]

nothing works, most programs just crash

[lime mesa]

I'm not trying to skip any quests, I'm just trying to give myself a staff

[potent flicker]

i want to extract them not insert blender models

[potent flicker]

thats not possible

wait we are in modding, nevermind

[steel crypt]

What I’m saying is you can load NMS models into blender to then export or do whatever you are going to do with the final model.

The NMS model contains many model pieces for many models. You will have to choose the parts you want.

[potent flicker]

i literally cant open any of them

mbin, pc, pak every type of file is somehow crashing my laptop

[steel crypt]

There is a plug-in for blender for importing them.

[potent flicker]

importing them from nms to blender?

[steel crypt]

Yes

https://discord.gg/no-man-s-sky-modding-215514623384748034

not sure that's still the path

what to dho on that path tho?

make MODS folder inside PCBANKS

put pak files inside MODS

[noble musk]

anyway in pcbanks.... you can rename DISABLEMODS to ENABLEMODS right?

[hearty wasp]

ye

or you can just yeet the file

i'll keep it lol i know one day i am gonn mess up my mods so it will help hehe

questiion about sequence tho

do sequence of mods matter any tips?

[hearty wasp]

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

not unless they conflict or need to be overridden deliberately

if conflict then should use AMUMSS anyway

[noble musk]

whats amumss?

[hearty wasp]

thing that takes a script file and make it into a pak so the pak is updated for current version

[noble musk]

ah i think i found it a third party toll to merge mods right?

[hearty wasp]

also does mod merging with the scripts

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

[noble musk]

should i keep it installed?

or install when needed?

[hearty wasp]

keep it installed

HG updates the game every other day every time there's a big update

why would you reinstall something 12 times in 30 days

[noble musk]

question... it automatically updates my mod? or i gotta manually do something

[hearty wasp]

you have to run AMUMSS every time the game updates and a tool AMUMSS needs will need to be updated if that needs to be updated

the guide should say it

you'll know when AMUMSS isn't making your mods properly when it spits out errors and warnings

Nope

[fresh arch]

If no, consider broken, ask mod author to up

RIP

[steel crypt]

Ooo yeah it's broke AF

What did it do?

[turbid oxide]

Add more ships to space

[steel crypt]

Yeah was looking at the description. Could be mostly remade. Not my cup of tea.

There might be something very similar that's updated?

Nexus has a very suck search.

I would just look back from last updated...I guess, cuz it could be named anything if there is one.

Also, if remade, it would have to be severely adjusted. HG has changed a lot of those type timers several times.

It's a good intro mod if you wanted to give it a try. If you made Trader landings 10X now, they would always be landing next to you...like always.

[main trout]

Sadly I can’t play mods damn you switch but I just find car go space to be really funny

anyways, i've spent the last 4 hours trying to set up the save editor

would it just be easier to mod the game?

or should i keep pursuing the route of save editor

[hearty wasp]

denpends on what you're trying to achieve

...is it really that easy?

[hearty wasp]

it only gets more complicated when you have more mods

is there an app (a free one) to get custom pets seeds to the save edit into the game ?

[patent junco]

hey how do i import a base from the no mans sky base builder app?

like, through nomnom

[vale briar]

i know how to do it with goatfungus, shouldn't be much different

if there is a "edit raw json" option, open it and go searching for PersistentPlayerBases

locate the base you want to paste your build into and replace all the code with the code that the base builder app gave you

[supple obsidian]

hi are there any anime model mods out there? I looked everywhere online and haven't found anything so was curious if any existed at all

[hearty wasp]

No

[supple obsidian]

rip

[hearty wasp]

Not sure you do

Think you just import the base directly from the base building app

[patent junco]

Ah but when i click export it gives me a bunch of code and tells me to paste it where i got the original base code

[marsh eagle]

Yes https://nms.center/ has a creature customizer and it allows to directly export the creature json file for download (for free) so you can import it with a saveeditor 😉
Use this saveeditor for import https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1879

Wemod does. It also mods for lots of other games.

i cannot use trainers, and i know wemod is a trainer

[surreal summit]

not yet, will tomorrow

[noble musk]

hi

in amumss how to check if mod is up to date?

[fresh arch]

AMUMSS does not offer such functionality

AMUMSS is a mod builder, it takes a LUA script (think of it like a crafting recipe) and follows it's instructions to modify game files on your PC to build a modified version of them to use as a mod

AMUMSS has no connection to Nexus Mods, it will not check whether a mod needs to be updated

Always assume game updates = having to update your mods

[noble musk]

got it

[shut oyster]

how do i import a freighter save into NMSSE

[ripe path]

do mods work on linux? I'm trying to use mods on steam deck. I've tried 4. I got the mod warning each time but the game crashes after loading.

[shy grove]

I've run NMS game mods on my Deck, which is Linux.

You do have to make sure the mods you're using are up to date. Not all have been updated. So it depends on what you're running.

Cc @round sinew the NMS + Linux expert here in case he has any insight on best way to help troubleshoot your issue

[ripe path]

ok thanks for confirming they work. I'll keep trying until I find ones that work

[round sinew]

I got the mod warning each time but the game crashes after loading.
do you crash when game install folder\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\DISABLEMODS.TXT is present?

[ripe path]

I thought I deleted that file

[round sinew]

DISABLEMODS.TXT prevents mods from loading, even if there are any in the correct folder path; iow, to figure out whether you're crashing (solely) because of outdated mods or not

[round sinew]

freighter base layout has to be accurately copied over into the json (iow, afaik, json editor needs to be used)

[ripe path]

I tried the newest one I could and it works so thanks @shy grove @round sinew

[shut oyster]

and how do i do that - lol im kinda new to save editing. from what i can see the freighter file that i have is in .frt and NMSSE only accepts the backups

[round sinew]

i'm unfamiliar with .frt file type; i only know how to copy a freighter base json code, overwritting the existing one

[shut oyster]

are you able to help me do so?

[round sinew]

sorry for the late reply. uhm, i think so, it's basically just making sure that you're copying the entire thing that's needed, and that you're pasting it correctly over your save's freighter base layout json code

the problem for me is that i don't know what a frt file is

might just be a text file with base code in it

[shut oyster]

seems to be when i open it

[round sinew]

Ξ ~ → file Downloads/Gray_Dreadnought.frt
Downloads/Gray_Dreadnought.frt: JSON text data

yep, so you basically just get the save editor working first, then open your save, then goto raw json and find your current freighter base code

[fallow meadow]

@shut oyster Let me know if you still need assistance with this.

[fallow meadow]

@shut oyster You may have to check this issue posted for NMSSE (goatfungus), as it can cause you problems considering the freighter backup you are trying to work with has Freighter Storage Rooms.

[cedar thunder]

Eucli-ea - More buildable decorations and structures anyone use this mod? I'm trying to use it but after putting the LUA through AMU the stuff you can build is in the build menu but its all invisible

[hearty wasp]

yeah you can say I use it

the download pak is mandatory even when using lua

[cedar thunder]

yea I did that

but when in game, its all invisible and my build menu is like broken

i even removed all of my mods and loaded with only that and it was still jank

[hearty wasp]

are you using the Eucli-ea by itself or with RecTUM?

[cedar thunder]

both in the modscript folder for AMU

then combine em and I get that cominbed mod

[hearty wasp]

can you post a screenie of your MODS folder

[cedar thunder]

yea one sec let me rebuild it. I deleted it

[hearty wasp]

sure

[cedar thunder]

but again, even when I launched with ONLY that mod, it still was broken

[hearty wasp]

ah ok we've got some miscommunication here

[cedar thunder]

oh wait beyond base building isnt supposed to be in there too

since I dont think they work together

[hearty wasp]

when I say "download pak" I mean the main file

[hearty wasp]

highlighted is the name of the main file pak

so you will need that as well

[cedar thunder]

yea i have that

[hearty wasp]

I don't see it tho

[cedar thunder]

ohhhh the you are supposed to keep the .pak and new pak

in the folder

ohhhhhhhhhh

i assume it doesnt work with beyond base building?

[hearty wasp]

you'd just need to merge it using luas

BBB has a lua

and UBB too

[cedar thunder]

so id merge EUCLI RecTUM and BBB luas?

into one

[hearty wasp]

and UBB

UBB adds base objects as well

[cedar thunder]

not using UBB atm though

ok the ~~~Winder one is the BBB added

oops i forgot to remove the BBB base mod

[patent junco]

Hey is there a mod that lets me customise the look of my multitool?

Like, changing the colours on my staff

[hearty wasp]

The UBB pak is literally in there

[cedar thunder]

oh shit I completely glossed over it lol

well even with the UBB stand alone it works in game. Nothings invisible anymore

so ima remove UBB and we should be golden

[hearty wasp]

You didn't notice it because the Eucli-ea generated pak is overriding UBB's metadata files

[cedar thunder]

also the UBB had a 0 in front so I just read right past it lol

[hearty wasp]

It's a loading order thing

[fallow meadow]

Not really, as it uses 'seeding' to change appearance. You could look for a seed value that results in looks/stats you like and make the change accordingly. I suggest you check the discord below

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[surreal summit]

Anyone got the golden vector seed?

[fallow meadow]

That would actually be a specific model with a set seed

You can get it as a reward with a save editor

[surreal summit]

I got it as a reward but I couldn't spawn it in.

Says collected but when I go to call it in on a planet I got nothing.

[fallow meadow]

Is your ship inventory full? Did you get the reward legit, or did you add it through a save editor? did you do it correctly in that case?

[surreal summit]

Added it through save editor and saved just like any other save editor expedition item.

Ship inventory isnt full, I still got like 3 slots in my freighter.

For more ships.

[fallow meadow]

You will always have landing spots available on Freighter

How many ships do you have showing in the quick menu ?

[surreal summit]

6

[fallow meadow]

Ok, you can have 12, so there is indeed room for more

So then we have to consider possibly a mistake with adding it through the save editor

[surreal summit]

Alright, is there a way I can fix that?

[fallow meadow]

Did you add the Golden Vector as an Expedition reward for the Account?

[surreal summit]

Yes.

[fallow meadow]

not for the save itself, but the global account

[surreal summit]

Well actually let me check.

Yes its added for the account.

[green prairie]

you don't add the vector, you unlock the reward, you still need to go to the npc

and collect it

[surreal summit]

Says its claimed when I talk to him.

[fallow meadow]

Ok, then I think it is also listed somewhere on the save side data, which then prevent collecting it

Are you using NMSSE (goatfungus)?

[surreal summit]

I am using NomNom because I have this save via Xbox.

[fallow meadow]

NMSSE also supports Xbox, but NomNom is fine

Will do this using NomNom then.

[surreal summit]

Couldn't find my save through it but thats a whole other issue.

[fallow meadow]

I can get that sorted too, but not the focus now.

We'll use NomNom

[lime mesa]

Anyone tried this and know if it's good to use?

[fallow meadow]

So open up NomNom and follow my instructions

[surreal summit]

Alright.

[fallow meadow]

That does not appear to be up-to-date?

I would not recommend installing saves that are outdated

[hearty wasp]

I would but I love to see people suffer

[lime mesa]

Kk thanks

[surreal summit]

I got NomNom open.

[fallow meadow]

Alright, so select the save with the issue

then under Save, select to Edit. (We leave the Account be, assuming you have the rewaard checked there)

[surreal summit]

Yup.

[fallow meadow]

Ok, now select the Quicksilver Synth tab

[surreal summit]

Ok.

[fallow meadow]

Golden Vector was an Expedition reward (Polestar)

So under Expedition rewards, look for it and make sure it is NOT checked

[surreal summit]

It is checked, should I uncheck it?

[fallow meadow]

And considering I am not trusting it to remove it from 'KnownSpecials', we will also have to verify by checking the 'Raw JSON data'

[fallow meadow]

Yes, uncheck it

[surreal summit]

How do I do that.

[fallow meadow]

To be able to use the JSON editor, you have to enable Advanced mode

Click File at the top, then select Settings

Make sure Advanced Mode is checked

[surreal summit]

I checked it and applied.

[fallow meadow]

hit ok and go back to your save

Now Edit JSON should be available under the Save option on the left

[surreal summit]

Yes.

[fallow meadow]

select it and a new window opens with the JSON editor

[surreal summit]

Alright.

[fallow meadow]

On the left, expand 'PlayerStateData'

Scroll down to where you see 'KnownSpecials'

Select it and click in the right side section

Then press CTRL+F to do a search

[surreal summit]

Alright.

[fallow meadow]

Search for EXPD_SHIP01, making sure of caps, so it should find it if present

[surreal summit]

It's there.

[fallow meadow]

Ok, that explains and proves my point to check the data

Now delete that full line that has the ID showing

[surreal summit]

Ok I deleted it.

[fallow meadow]

So make sure the full line is removed, the list is back to being intact without a blank line between?

[surreal summit]

Yes.

No spaces.

[fallow meadow]

and where it used to be, there are still other IDs showing after?

[surreal summit]

Yes.

[fallow meadow]

ok, now ot make sure, let us do the same in another list

[surreal summit]

Alright.

[fallow meadow]

So on the left side again

look for 'RedeemedSeasonRewards'

shoukld be almost all the way down I think

select it, and do the same search in that list on the right

I think the unchecking previously only removed it from this list, so likely not found

[surreal summit]

Yeah its not there.

Wait I clicked the wrong one hol up

[fallow meadow]

Alright, you can close that window, making sure to confirm any changes made. Make sure it all gets saved and synced to your Xbox again

Go start NMS and visit the Anomaly and claim your Golden Vector.

let us know if that worked

[surreal summit]

Will do, loading in now.

Worked!

Thank you.

[surreal summit]

You said you also can figure out why NMSSE is not detecting my save?

[fallow meadow]

Correct

And currently NMSSE is up-to-date with current version of NMS

[surreal summit]

Yes, updated it yesterday.

[fallow meadow]

Less features and somewhat different, so your choice which you prefer using. NomNom will see updates soon enough as well though

[surreal summit]

NMSSE has less features than nomnom?

Thought it had more.

[fallow meadow]

No, it would have less features. NomNom has more and certainly more planned for the future as well.

I personally still find NMSSE to be more stable though

[surreal summit]

Oh then I might just stick to NomNom. I have a general understanding of it more and find it easy to use.

[fallow meadow]

Like I said, asa long as what you are trying ot do works fine, it would be down to personal preference

Then again, with it not working for you, might be hard to judge

I am more than willing to help you get it to find the correct path

[surreal summit]

True, NomNom works fine for what I want it to do now.

Yeah, Imma just stick with NomNom for now. Thanks though if I do ever want to change over I'll come back here lol.

[fallow meadow]

This is the path you have ot go to:
C:\Users\<yourusernamae\AppData\Local\Packages\HelloGames.NoMansSky_bs190hzg1sesy\SystemAppData\wgs\<longalphanumericalfoldername>\...
Where that last folder is a folder that contains containers.index, if that is the case, clicking 'Open' to specify that folder should make it work and detect your saves

[surreal summit]

Oh damn that actually worked.

Other videos showed me to go to some other location or something bruh. You a G fr.

Thank you.

[fallow meadow]

Now go play and have fun before you mess with the editors some more

[surreal summit]

I've been playing this game for 3 years now, I've had my fun exploring lol. Time to relax and build bases.

[sage wyvern]

How to run save editor? When I try to open the .bat file all I see is a small cmd like window that shuts down almost immediately.

[fallow meadow]

Do you have Java 8 64-bit installed

[sage wyvern]

java 17

[fallow meadow]

Well, that version I am not familiar with. Let me just provide you with the download page and ask you to make sure to install the Offline 64-bit version for your platform (assuming windows actually)
https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

[sage wyvern]

aight will try that one

[fallow meadow]

make sure it is the 64-bit

If the same happens, when running the .bat file, it may be something preventing it from launching. Possibly your Anti virus or other security present

[sage wyvern]

idk it doesn't seem to work

windows defender is off

[fallow meadow]

Can you show me the contents of the install location?

[fallow meadow]

I would not recommend disabling Windows Defender

If need be, perhaps allow the application instead.

And it looks like you downloaded both the proper release as well as the source.

[sage wyvern]

I made a new one

bat still doesn't work

[fallow meadow]

Did you actually run the java installer?

[sage wyvern]

yeah and im doing it twice now

[fallow meadow]

Ok, so that should be good then

[sage wyvern]

for some reason my .jar files didn't change their icon and it doesn't show the aplication it should be opened with

[fallow meadow]

Yes, they should associate with java

Can you open up a command prompt and try the following command:
java -jar NMSSaveEditor.jar

That way we prevent the window closing

hopefully

and tell me what it shows

[fallow meadow]

Wow, not even a message telling you anything?

[sage wyvern]

even running in admin mode

java is buggin

[fallow meadow]

Can you browse to the location in the cmd window?

The location where NMSSaveEditor is located

[sage wyvern]

I'll try

[fallow meadow]

But yes, I think there is something wrong with the java install

We will know soon enough

[sage wyvern]

I'll restart pc again

[fallow meadow]

Sure, give it a try

And with command prompt open anywhere, you should be able to get some info with java -version

if not, there is something wrong with install, or something else

[sage wyvern]

idk I tried a bunch of things I'll figure it out someday

[fallow meadow]

I can try help you if you wish?

[sage wyvern]

sure but I think it's one of these random errors that won't get fixed easily

[fallow meadow]

I'd check to see if Java actually installed in the list of programs

[sage wyvern]

it is but it shuts down immediately

I might install it in a different destination

[fallow meadow]

As soon as you open Programs, it should show Java already, and it would also be listed under Programs and Features

[sage wyvern]

yeah... C drive didn't want to read it properly or something that im not able to explain but changing its destination made it work lmao

[fallow meadow]

Ok, sounds good enough to me :)

Whatever makes it work is fine with me

[sage wyvern]

anyway thanks for help I'd be installing nms for at least an hour I didn't even think about java

[fallow meadow]

Alright, you're welcome, good luck. Do not hesitate to ask for assistance again

[sage wyvern]

welp there is one thing

I want to teleport to my second save's system or base that I got there

[fallow meadow]

Using the same save or on another save?

[sage wyvern]

another one

this is the save that I started fresh game on and has a nice planet that I built a base on

[fallow meadow]

Then your base will not show on the other save, unless it is a different account and the base is uploaded.

[sage wyvern]

idc about the base tbh

I just want the planet

[fallow meadow]

Ah ok, that should be possible

You will have to find the location of the base in the first save. Once you have that location, you can use it to spawn yourself in the same system on the other save

Is your player in the first save at the right location?

Then you can easily get your other save there too

[sage wyvern]

it should be there

[fallow meadow]

Ok, load that save, and we will get the details from it

[sage wyvern]

load in game or save editor

[fallow meadow]

in the save editor

[sage wyvern]

okay im on it

[fallow meadow]

Ok, then with that save loaded, click Edit and select Edit Raw JSON

[sage wyvern]

aight

[fallow meadow]

Or actually, maybe even easier. Close that editor

I just realised it can be easier

Click Edit and select Coordinate Viewer

[sage wyvern]

lmao didn't know there were so many galaxies

[fallow meadow]

Yes, there are a lot of them

Coordinate viewer shows details of your current location. So copy that, or make a screenshot.

Then you can use that on the other save

[sage wyvern]

Do I paste both?

galactic and portal

[fallow meadow]

I would make sure to get the galaxy and the galactic coordinates. The glyphs can be extracted from that, so are not as important

That part

When you load the other save and open Coordinate Viewer, paste the galactic coordinates and click search. Then it shows the result, and you only have to make sure you also select the correct Galaxy

After that you click Save/Warp and close it, then save once more on the Main tab.

You should then spawn in the exact same system.

[sage wyvern]

that saves me a lot of time thank you so much once again!

[fallow meadow]

Happy travelling!

[cedar thunder]

@hearty wasp the euclia building items mod. People that dont have it, cant see the things from that mod?

[hearty wasp]

Aye

[cedar thunder]

Unfortunate

Wonder why that is since they are already items in the game

Was gonna try and build an epic base with this stuff but if no one can see it, whars the point lol

[chrome star]

Does anyone know how to use a save editor to remove discoveries and wonders via Raw JSON edits?

[lime mesa]

am i able to unlock everything but still be able to not have the story completed?

[chrome star]

I'm pretty sure I have reset my Wonders, but I want to delete systems I have previously visited.

[green prairie]

because they have custom IDs that doesn't exist in the game

[cedar thunder]

Ah that would be an issue then. Still weird the mod couldnt use base game ID's? But I guess I have no idea how the games assets are setup

[chrome star]

Even after changing the record value to 1 all my Wonders are still showing up with their old values

[sage wyvern]

is there a way to spawn a settlement on a planet with a mod or save editor or not rly?

[cedar thunder]

I highly doubt it tbh

[sage wyvern]

:// isn't there a console to spawn structures?

[lime mesa]

what does this mean in the save editor?

[frosty cedar]

is it possible to mod nms nintendo switch edition?

[green prairie]

Twitch Drop rewards the game does a check to see if you actually earned it, you can save edit them but you need to turn off your internet before launching the game to collect them.

so the game can't check if you have them or not

[green prairie]

no

[noble musk]

Hi can anyone tell me how to download save editor for nms?

[solid hawk]

Even for the items that exist in vanilla. As they aren't in the vanilla base build system, they have no id

[solid hawk]

https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor

[solid hawk]

No console, unless you work at HelloGames

[steel coral]

How can I give myself everything in the game is there a mod or something

[keen scaffold]

why would you do that lol

why even play the game at that point

if you want freedom just go play creative

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1096

For MP, do both players need to have the mod to see scaled stuff? i.e. if i were to build up a scaled up power door with this, would my friend who doesn't have the mod also see that when he gets to my base? or would it look normal for him?

[vale iron]

Scaling does not require a mod to see

[radiant edge]

@fresh arch Two questions, One do you know any more mods like PTSd or mods that go well with it and Two do you know any mods that would make the game more fun or more enjoyable? (even if it's something like a more pleasing ui)

[fresh arch]

I dont do difficulty mods, you'd need to scout Nexus for yourself

Browse only by the recently updated mods, since we are past a major update, older mods are mostly not compatible

However I can tell you about the latter type of mods

Lo2k has a metric fuckton of QoL mods: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/880

Silent has some great mods like Space Station Tweaks or Unified Warps: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/users/122177308?tab=user+files

And even I got some trinkets like more glowing crystals, music player items or splash images with update name on them: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/users/90068138?tab=user+files

[radiant edge]

I'll give it another go for looking into difficulty mods, I did check out some of Lo2k's mods a while ago and haver a few on but as for the others I'll check those out in a sec, thank you

[fresh arch]

Gumsk has a ton of improvements to the game, lMonk also, JasonDude made the fantastic Duds Sky Colours overhaul but they got their gameplay tweaks as well

[radiant edge]

I keep seeing AMUMSS, what is it exactly? Is it just another mod manager like Vortex? (Using Vortex atm)

[fresh arch]

It's a mod builder system

People can write scripts in LUA langauge, AMUMSS processes them to build a mod based on current game files on your PC

LUA script is like a cooking recipie, AMUMSS is the cook, game files are ingridients

And you end up with a tasty dish that is a mod that is compatible with the current game version

[radiant edge]

So is it bad to use Vortex then since all it does is through the seprate mods into the nms folder?

[fresh arch]

NMS modding is not that convoluted to require a use of mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2

All you need to do is copy and paste files into a dedicated folder

Neither of mod managers is able to detect mod conflicts based on how mods are packed

[radiant edge]

Ik I just use it for the update checking and so I dont have to manually through the mods in

[fresh arch]

Vortex can only check if the version you downloaded / installed is the same as latest version on the Nexus

[radiant edge]

So would it be better to use AMUMSS?

[radiant edge]

Yeh

[fresh arch]

It can not know whether mod you downloaded is compatible with the current game version

AMUMSS is a different tool, is not a mod manager, it is a mod builder

[radiant edge]

I know I learn that part the hard way when the game updates

[fresh arch]

It makes the process of updating mods easy, because instead of waiting for mod authors do update their mods and upload them to Nexus

[radiant edge]

So should I go find the LUA scripts for the mods I have now and throw them in AMUMSS or should I just keep using vortex

[fresh arch]

You can grab the LUA scripts from the mods you like and process them yourself on your machine

To get updated versions of the mods directly into the game's MODS folder

[radiant edge]

Wait so even outdated mods would work?

[fresh arch]

Remember how I talked about LUA script being a cooking recipe?

[radiant edge]

Yeah

[fresh arch]

Can a recipe for an egg omlette from 2 years ago still be used today?

[radiant edge]

Yes

[fresh arch]

Yeah, only thing that matters is that you have fresh ingridients lol

[radiant edge]

Ah I get it

Well time to go find 20 LUA scripts

[fresh arch]

Unless HG does some major changes to the game files

You can use existing LUAs to build the mods for yourself

If HG changes a structure of a file required for a mod, it's possible AMUMSS will fail processing of a script targeting that file

Because lets say instructions were "find a line that says XYZ" but HG moved that line to another file

AMUMSS will report a warning and omit that file

Then you will know the LUA script will need to be updated by the author

[radiant edge]

Alright

[keen scaffold]

Oh damn I thought AMUMMS was a very complicated mod manager

[fresh arch]

It can be complicated sometimes but it is not a mod manager

Auto Modbuilder-Updater with Mod Script System

[radiant edge]

Ngl idk where to even put the .LUA scripts

[lime mesa]

How do I use the save editor to change the bridge and landing pad color? They're both stuck as red and I can't recolor them.

[fallow meadow]

These parts can not be changed colour. Not sure if there is a mod that allows this to happen. I suggest to report the issue instead.

!hg

[hardy aurora]

You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[fallow meadow]

@lime mesa I assume you are not talking about the freighter pads, as they are inside (hangar). The regular landing pad can be changed colour. The alternative one, might not have that possible

[lime mesa]

Might just try to find a freighter I like then upgrade to s class. I don't want to sink another 8 hours in 😂

[fallow meadow]

Well, sadly enough you will have to find an S-class with the right colour then.

[lime mesa]

Yep :(

[fallow meadow]

Also, appearing red may actually be a bug. My freighter is blue, but often it changes to red for me as well. For some reason it keeps changing between red and blue whenever it feels like

Sadly enough, the colour is also repeated with some of the features visible on top when creating your freighter base. So unless I cover it all with rooms. The theme I have going doesn't like red, so I am annoyed as well

Hello! Not sure where to ask so I''ll try here.
If I want to use icons and text from the game on non-profit website about NMS should I place specific text about trademarks, copyrights, etc.?

[fresh arch]

Uuuhhhhh

I dont think anyone here can answer that

IMO best course of action would be contacting HG and asking them?

[solid hawk]

Rule 3: No Self-Promotion

No advertising in our channels or via unsolicited direct messages to our members. That includes linking to unapproved Discord servers, blatant self-promotion or misleading links.

This channel, things are a little lax for that one, for modders. Less latitude in other channels

@grizzled granite Yes, you'd need to request explicit permission from HelloGames attorney. Everything in the game is Copyrighted, so best to retain your own Copyright attorney to navigate this.

Unless you are a legally registered 501(c)(3) [or whatever it is in your country], just calling yourself a non-profit doesn't count for free usage of copyrighted material.

hello, i bought no man sky yesterday and have a question depending fsr, did they update the upscaler to the current version 2.2 or is it still 2.0? can i replace the files if 2.0 is the case with 2.2 files like in other games to update it?

[hearty wasp]

Just do it like Assistant for No Man's Sky

@lime mesa Consumerism is a nexus mod

[lime mesa]

can you talk me through it

[green prairie]

quicksilver

[surreal summit]

Yeah, do you already have a mods folder set up?

[lime mesa]

i do not

where do i make it

[solid hawk]

NMS install\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\MODS

You create the MODS folder

Then, also in PCBANKS, delete or rename the file called DISABLEMODS.TXT

[lime mesa]

where do i find that directory? appdata?

[solid hawk]

Put the mod .pak file into the MODS folder you created and you'll be good to go

On your computer. Very much depends what the source platform is and whether you chose default location or custom

[lime mesa]

this good?

Search your computer for a folder called PCBANKS. Should get you there

Yep, that's it

[lime mesa]

then delete disable mods

and create a new folder called

MODS

[solid hawk]

and create a folder called MODS

[lime mesa]

then add condumer.pak to it

[solid hawk]

Exactly

You've got it

[lime mesa]

okay i done that, now i open game and go to anomoly and can collect my items with nanite from that guy?

[solid hawk]

Then, next time you run the game, you'll see a new mods disclaimer screen you'll have to click through. That's how you know mods have been detected and loaded.

Yep, the Quicksilver vendor

[ionic token]

how much does nms actually allow when it comes to modding, are you only allowed to do stuff offline or could i do whatever as long as it isnt interfering with other people

[surreal summit]

As long as its not messing with other people I'm pretty sure you'll be good.

[ionic token]

alright thanks

[surreal summit]

👍

[lime mesa]

thank you for your help!

[lime mesa]

hey i did it all and got the mods detected pop up

when i go to the bender

vender

its still the same

[green prairie]

quicksilver vendor

you need to buy them

[lime mesa]

this person isnt the quick silver vender?

this is the quick silver vender

[cold oak]

is there a mod to turn off this cockpit latticework like pulsing in the sentinal ship by chance? I love how the ship looks but I reaaaaaalllly hate the constant pulsing

[solid hawk]

Can do whatever the game allows for, which has limits We only have the ability to mod local game files, so doesn't really interfere with others. Can't add really new things, mostly value changes for existing and some model skinning. If you're griefing, HelloGames will remove you in quick order.

[solid hawk]

Try this one, maybe....https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2750

[cold oak]

awww yisss, hopefully compatible with the latest update

[solid hawk]

If the default doesn't get it, edit the included lua

{'Name', 'Red'},
{'Name', 'Red1'},

Then run the .lua through AMUMSS to generate the new customized .pak

I think one or both of those are the red lines across the windscreen

If needed, https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2626

[cold oak]

Look like the mod got rid of the side lines but not the main view blocking lattice, so I'll try what you said

[hearty wasp]

The first dialog option not the third

You spoke to the vendor but did not choose the shop

[cold oak]

It didn't remove the pulsing lattice, did I insert those lines correctly?

[steel crypt]

DUD'S SKY updated v443-B

• Updated _MOD_DUD_DynamicStanding_v443-A to _MOD_DUD_DynamicStanding_v443-B
  (Fixed incorrect percentage chance for 1 standing reward.)
  https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/507

[solid hawk]

Yeah, you did. Doesn't work. Sorry about that. I'd need to dig into the model file more

[cold oak]

No worries! I figured it might be hard to fix

[solid hawk]

Missed it the first time, there's also a Red2

Think this might get it

[cold oak]

That worked for me, really appreciate it!

[solid hawk]

No problem. I was trying to remove that for myself the other day, just didn't have the time to complete. Glad you got it. 🙂

[green prairie]

it remove the color or just stop it from pulsing?

you know, we have RGB settings for keyboard and mouse but whatever future NMS is we don't have settings for the ship RGB

smh

[cold oak]

removes it entirely, no red lattice that pulses anymore

[solid hawk]

I found it to be very annoying and frequently completely obscures the view for a short time

I also let lMonk know, if he wants to officially add it to the mod

If not, I may put it out there, but will give lMonk first refusal, since I piggybacked off his mod for this test

[junior hatch]

mbincompiler.exe does not exist

• i got latest for amumss (4.2.1.4w - installed as 4.2.1.0 or something)
• ran buildmod.bat (updated, installed everything asked for)
• exception exists
• restarted
• no quarantined items to restore
• followed install instructions from nexusmods txt file
• everything else has installed but fails to locate the mbincompiler.exe (it has also found the steam files)
• also tried to reinstall to different location in case antivirus interfered, but didnt help
• search on this discord for "missing mbincompiler", "mbincompiler.exe does not exist", and several other terms, but nothing showed, which doesnt make sense, surely this has happened before?
• have: modded steam games before (and use powershell/cmd to make and update minecraft modpacks)
• have not: modded no mans sky before (intimidating, but it seemed to be basic enough until this file disappeared)

seems to not be able to download it during buildmod.bat launch

[fresh arch]

Like the report says, try adding the AMUMSS folder or executable as an exception fro the antivirus you use

It tries to ping github where the latest version of MBIN compiler is uploaded to see whether a new version is available

Also that is not the current version of AMUMSS

It should be 4.3.0.0W

See if you got .NET framework installed

You will need versions 5 and 6 for the Desktop apps

[junior hatch]

i saw both of those be installed

an exception does exist

[fresh arch]

Does the green section have them botth listed?

[junior hatch]

AMUMSS v4.3.0.0W
BUILDMOD v1.8.3
Lua 5.4.4 custom version with lfs
Windows 10 Home 64bit, Build: 19045.3393 with 12 logical CPUs (cp850)

.NET 6 Desktop Runtime exist
===> NMS version 110389

it now says master 4.2 and current 4.3 - but it wasnt before/didnt see that change

[fresh arch]

When updating from an oldeer build of AMUMSS

[junior hatch]

fresh install

[fresh arch]

You run the BUILDMOD script a couple times to update it through the release versions up to current

[junior hatch]

yeah did that

it was in the readme

needed to 3 times i think

[fresh arch]

Do you see the TOOLS folder inside AMUMSS directory? If so, run the TEST_AMUMSS_INSTALL script

[junior hatch]

OK

  - Is lua.exe accessible?
    version [Lua 5.4.4]
OK

  - also from AMUMSS MODBUILDER folder...
    version [Lua 5.4.4]
OK

  - Is MODBUILDER\MBINCompilerDownloader accessible?
OK

  - Is curl.exe accessible and functional?
       one moment...
 OSversion of curl is used

     - curl.exe can not access 'https://github.com/HolterPhylo/AMUMSS/wiki'
        - Copy link above and try to access in your web browser
        - MBINCompilerDownloader folder could be read-only
        - check AV exceptions (and restore when quarantined)

    >>> Setting colors...
.      ??? Do you see [AMUMSS in green] and [This is a test in red] [Y,N]?Y

 ===> SOME TEST FAILED```

[fresh arch]

Yeah please double check the antivirus settings

Sometimes you will need to reboot the whole PC to get those exceptions working

[junior hatch]

F:/Steam Mods/No Mans Sky/AMUMSS exception enabled

nothing is quarantined

rebooted

adding curl.exe to exceptions list as well as the amumss folder

rebooting again

[fresh arch]

Guide even metions disabling antivirus for the installation period

[junior hatch]

the folder/files were partly readonly (something mentioned in that check install bat)

[junior hatch]

disabled completely, now its downloading

will i need to disable while using this thing too? (after installed)

[fresh arch]

Yeah AV software do be like that

Im afraid yes, I just checked and I got the exception added

[junior hatch]

well, i figured something was going on, but i saw nothing about complete disable of av in my searching - thanks for the help

once this is done, i will have to figure out how to use it

[fresh arch]

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

In simpliest case scenario, you take the LUA script of the mod you want to compile, put it in MODSCRIPT directory, run the BUILDMOD script and press a couple of keys

The generated PAK file for mod will be put in the game's MODS directory

[junior hatch]

right - ive been downloading all files for the mods i wanted (that i saw in a 5 minute search) not knowing which i would need (pak seemed to be the actual mods, but wasnt sure about scripts - though i know about those from my mc modpacking time with powershell)

[fresh arch]

Game only cares about PAK files placed in the MODS folder

LUA files are only for AMUMSS

Think of them as crafting recipies for mods

AMUMSS takes that recipe, follows its instructions to modify game files, and packs the modified files into a PAK archive

[junior hatch]

and mods without scripts, just place in the mod folder? (im reading the pdf as we speak)

[fresh arch]

Yes, PAK files go into MODS folder

any general warnings for modding the game? i love some of these mod ideas, and generally dont play with multiplayer on (though i do see others in the anomoly)

[fresh arch]

Mods work with multiplayer, it's just a matter of what kind of data is send / synced between players

Custom textures, models are local

Whereas player location or damage numbers are shared, so players will see effects of those mods

As for general warnings, just keep the mods updated, whether by downloading new versions from Nexus or compiling them yourself with AMUMSS and you'll be fine

[junior hatch]

cool

thanks

[hearty wasp]

I am updating Sean for one day what should I put him in

[solid hawk]

Starfield

lol

[quasi mason]

any mods to increase the difficulty?

[solid hawk]

yes

A decent catch all would be PTSd

There's also Difficulty Settings in-game.

Hey so I want to get into save editing but I'm not sure how to even mod nms

[fresh arch]

Check the pinned messages for the info on how to get started

Note that save editing and using mods are kinda 2 different things

But we got folks who can assist in either of those

Anyone wanna mod me in a sandworm egg and ill give you hugs? XD

[tough wyvern]

are there any inventory quality-of-life mods that are okay to use in multiplayer? i'm getting tired of pressing "E" every few seconds to craft an item when i need like 50 of said item at once

not rly sure why that hasn't been changed on its own but

[fresh arch]

You can use A/D keys to set the amount to craft at once

[hearty wasp]

also all mods are ok to use in multiplayer

[tough wyvern]

i...wow, i had no idea o.o thanks

[hearty wasp]

unless your idea of ok is not "doesn't break multiplayer"

[tough wyvern]

that xD

[hearty wasp]

Great news for all Seanheads

new Sean texture unlocked

[rugged heart]

i may be dumb, but none of my mods are working after echoes

ive downloaded all new versions and there is no "continue with modded game?" prompt on launch

[green prairie]

disablemods.txt is in your folder

[rugged heart]

thanks!

that fixed it

[solid hawk]

Game updated have a tendency to recreate that file occasionally

[green prairie]

yea, they usually only come back after major updates or an update that changes a lot of files

I think HG have control over it and know that mods will be broken after an update changing a lot of files, then they just put the file together with the update to avoid people crashing due to outdated mods.

yea, they do

they probably just bundle it when they know everything will break, that's why sometimes it doesn't come back after an update

[solid hawk]

Nah, they just think it's funny to disable everyones mods

[last mulch]

is there an easy way to only find fully multiplayer compatible mods?

[fresh arch]

All mods work in multiplayer

[last mulch]

whar

[fresh arch]

Depending on what the mod actually does, its effects may be visible to other players in multiplayer settings

[last mulch]

ah

[fresh arch]

Stuff like texture replacements, custom ship models are only visible to you

[last mulch]

ohhhhh I see, okay that makes sense

[fresh arch]

Changes to planet generation are also just visible for you

But your player position is send to other players, so if you start climbing a mountain, other players will see you going up in the air

Because that mountain exists only for you, not for them

[last mulch]

huh wack

are they visible to other players if they also have the mod?

[fresh arch]

Yes, other players needs to have the same mod installed to see the same effects

Remember, all planet generation is done locally on your machine

[last mulch]

I see

did not know that

another question, I remember seeing at some point in the past a mod that essentially allowed me to save ships into a file for restore later (basically long-term ship storage), but I can't seem to find it

do you by chance know the mod?

[fresh arch]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1879 - this one maybe? Not strictly a mod, a 3rd party app to meddle with save files

[last mulch]

I think it was that one yes, thank you!

[solid hawk]

Ok, can dump the hack job version, it's now official, lol. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2860

You can be the first endorsement and it'll get at least the one download. haha

[last mulch]

is there a mod to make all dissonant planets contain harmonic camps?

[fresh arch]

Why harmonic camps in particular?

[last mulch]

so I can locate sentinel crash sites from a central location

[fresh arch]

I dont think Interceptors can spawn on dead / exotic planets either

So mod would need to allow that as well

[last mulch]

just, a mod that makes the interceptor features happen on all dissonant planets

One reason I chose this system in specific as my permanent home is because it was a dissonant system and now I've learned the actual dissonant planet is useless because it's a terraforming nightmare or whatever

Thats why im asking if a mod like that exists

[fresh arch]

Not that I knwo of, but you can scout the Nexus

For something that would allow more structures to spawn on dead / weird planets

[last mulch]

Yeah I tried a few keywords, none came up with what I'm lookin for

I can try more

[rich harbor]

Made this https://github.com/MrNegative420/Name2HexCodeGeneratorApp don't know where it should be posted. did I get it right?

[vale iron]

I could probably modify parts of glonely to make harmonic camps spawn more

[last mulch]

Spawn frequency isnt the issue, since echo locators exist

And are easy to get

Very easy to get

It's the fact that they dont spawn at all on dead/exotic planets, even if they're dissonant

Which SUCKS

INTERCEPTORS DONT NEED LIFE TO EXIST URGHHHH

Well, at least not a breathable atmosphere

[last mulch]

@vale iron do note that theres a good chance im misunderstanding you completely btw

Sry for the ping if you dont like those

[vale iron]

Hmm I could probably make the camps spawn, but I think they might end up pointing to empty locations, without a ship 😦

[last mulch]

Would you also be able to make the ships spawn? After all, the camps are just a free multitool when the ships dont exist

[vale iron]

I doubt it. I don't think we have access to the biome ship spawning restrictions

[last mulch]

Oh dang

That really sucks

[last mulch]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1273?tab=description

This mod at the very least claims to make crashed starships spawn

But it says nothing about the interceptor stuff

So idk if it adds that

I could test I suppose

[vale iron]

Ah I was wrong then

Would just need to add camps to it

@solid hawk

[last mulch]

Oh those come with ships?

Like, if you make them spawn then the ships do too?

[vale iron]

Would need to take the dead wreckoning mod and add camps to that, then it theoretically should work

[last mulch]

Huh, neat

Im entirely clueless on any modding that isnt java-based

[solid hawk]

Already in there

[last mulch]

Ah sweet

Will install then

Thank you

[vale iron]

Coolio

[solid hawk]

Was sitting like that for awhile in experimental before the next public came out. By the time that happened, I forgot about mentioning something in the changelog. lol

It happens

[last mulch]

btw is there a mod that adds a ship scrapping thing that you can build at your base?

or is that even possible

[fresh arch]

There is one for freighter

[last mulch]

btw @solid hawk question about dead wreckoning, does it do retrogen? or only newlygenned terrain? or does it have to be brand new planets?

Currently not in any position to test

[solid hawk]

Should affect any/all.

[last mulch]

Ok thank you

[solid hawk]

np

[solid hawk]

SHIPSALVAGETERMINAL is in Ultra Base Building

That being said, might actually function or could just be decorative. Give it a shot and let us know.

[last mulch]

Alright, will do

[nimble drift]

Is there a mod that exists that lets you put a waypoint marker on a planet or otherwise mark it from the discoveries panel? It's hard to find them in open space sometimes

[fresh arch]

Why would you need a mod for that?

Save Beacons have a marker that is visible from space

[nimble drift]

lyr's tweaks lets you have a ship upgrade/scrap station inside your freighter too
