And can be used as a target for autopilot to lock on

[nimble drift]

you have to find the planet and land on it for that. I'm talking initial find

[fresh arch]

What you mean by initial find?

[nimble drift]

you enter a system. You see it has 5 planets and 2 moons. You use the freighter to scan them. You want to go to a specific planet. I want to mark it so it's easy to find in space from one of these menus.

[fresh arch]

FYI max amount of celestial bodies (planets and moons) in a system is 6 but skipping past that

You are still making it more complicated than it is

[nimble drift]

It was an example

[fresh arch]

You have all planets scanned? Then the same info card will appear when you point your starship towards the planet

Then you know which one to land on

[nimble drift]

info card if you have it in sight. I'm looking for a mod that waypoints it so I can even get it in sight

[karmic jacinth]

Is there a way to use a save editor a single time for the purpose of making my freighter an S class and then just removing the save editor? will using it mess with my game at all?

[fresh arch]

If you're thinking of clicking in Discovery tab to put a pin on a planet so a game would build a target point in the space, no such mod exists

Yeah you can use save editor for a quick change like that

Should not do any damage if you keep to the options offered in GUI

[nimble drift]

is there anything to then make individual planets more visible in space or one that marks all planets with a marker when you enter the system? Kinda like how when you scan you can see multiple deposits? It'd have one icon for each planet?

[fresh arch]

Dont go editing raw JSON data with wild abandon

There are some save editor specialists over at

They have a channel dedicated to save editing

No there is not

[nimble drift]

I am extremely saddened, but thanks

[fresh arch]

In simple terms: any mod that would add brand new functionality that is not in game already is a no-go

Mods are limited to what the game already offers, we just tweak some values or move some stuff around

[nimble drift]

does the game not detect all planets as objects in space by default?

[fresh arch]

We can't invent new stuff from thin air

Utopia Speeder No Nanites Cost
wasn't that fixed yet?

wtf

[fresh arch]

🤷

[fresh arch]

Aparently not

[last mulch]

anyone know why I keep getting this error?

should I just manually install mods?

[green prairie]

that's the only way to install NMS mods, yes

vortex only break mods

[last mulch]

oh

why is it an option then?

also, does this work on the gamepass version? I can't find the No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS path

[green prairie]

because it works for people that only install one or 2 mods

[last mulch]

wait nvm I'm stoopy

[last mulch]

so, me

[green prairie]

assuming those 2 doesn't conflict with eachother

yes

[last mulch]

where do I put the .lua file/s?

[green prairie]

anywhere, you only use LUAs if you gonna update mods yourself or merge them if they conflict

[fresh arch]

In AMUMSS' ModScript folder

[last mulch]

ah so they arent strictly necessary?

[fresh arch]

PAK files are for game

LUA files are for AMUMSS only

[last mulch]

ok thank you

[fresh arch]

Game does not care about any other files placed in MODS folder, only PAK files

[last mulch]

Ok nice

Yay mod warnings appeared

Lets hope my two mods dont conflict

[fresh arch]

You dont hope, you check

[last mulch]

Thats the boring way smh

XD

[fresh arch]

You know what is not boring?

Figuring why the fuck your game is not functioning properly

[last mulch]

Exactly

[fresh arch]

But if that suits your fancy, who am I to stop you

[last mulch]

I dont know how many tens of hours I've spent troubleshooting issues in games

It's irritating but fun

Either way, neither of these mods conflict so wooooo

[green prairie]

the game won't tell you if they conflict

[hearty wasp]

there's always the option to give up and touch grass

[green prairie]

if they conflict one of them will just partially not work

I've been touching grass since fractal I think

last time I tried to play the game and it was running like shit

so I gave up

[fresh arch]

NEVAH

[green prairie]

wait, it was interceptor, it was when they released the sentinel ships

fractal the performance was still decent

[fresh arch]

Performance was decent before Waypoint

I could run the game on Ultra (minus textures) on my PC and on High on Steam Deck

Past Waypoint I had to go a preset lower on both devices

[last mulch]

it is fully functional

[solid hawk]

Nice. Enjoy. 🙂

[cedar thunder]

4.44 break mods at all or should be solid?

guess I'm about to find out

[fresh arch]

Lots of important files were changed

Consider all mods in need of an update

Just look at the Nexus, how many mods were updated in the last hours

[rich harbor]

It did, I had to update almost every mod I use

[solid hawk]

Only a couple of the files changed would cause a crash with non-updated mods. Most of it would be a problem with the files missing data that are part of HG bug fixes. So, as mentioned, always update mods after an NMS update and you can't go wrong. Part of the mechanics for how modding is implemented in NMS.

[cedar thunder]

somehow I launched just fine and everything seemed to be working but im updating stuff now

[solid hawk]

Yeah, probably not modding those two files. It was one global and something else, but I can remember now. It's why a new build of MBINCompiler, 4.43.0.1, had to be made a couple of experimental releases ago. So, you'd just be missing value changes HG made to fix many of the bugs in the release notes.

[wide anchor]

goood night! Someone could indicate to me some mod where I can control colors or let the game darker?

I tried Deep Space, but dont work.

[solid hawk]

@wide anchor Way too old. NMS, in general, has issue with mods that haven't been updated in weeks, nonetheless years

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1200 Black Edition

This would only affect the space palettes. If you want darker in-general, less of a mod thing. In that case, edit the graphics settings to turn down Gamma. Can also adjust your monitor to bring down brightness and saturation.

Mods can only adjust on a per file basis and there's a few dozens palette (color) files on a per usage basis (space color, night sky color, day sky colors, etc), some with tens of thousands of entries.

Then there all the things that don't use the color palette files and instead are based on TEXTURE files or shaders. lol

Now you know where there hasn't been, isn't, and won't be a mod to make the game darker overall, just specific facets.

[wide anchor]

I want the space darker. Planets are fine, in general. I already change gamma. I will try this mod. THank you

[vapid sedge]

is there a remove max ships mod?

[green prairie]

no

[vale iron]

Debug global was the one. I haven't looked yet to see what exactly changed

[vapid sedge]

sad

[vale iron]

Number of ships is a fixed length in the save file and changing that would corrupt the save file

[vapid sedge]

[hardy dune]

can i change my nexus tier using nom nom

[sleek geyser]

so, when I want to merge mods, do I still use the guide of the nmsmodding wiki, like PSArcTool, or do I use the mod builder tool?

[fresh arch]

I dont know what guide modding wiki does mention, the easiest way would be to merge the mods with AMUMSS if their LUA scripts are provided

[sage wyvern]

I have a problem xD I didn't encounter any freighter rescue event after 10 hours of solid gameplay and over 20 warps so I installed a mod that should make them appear once per warp but it doesn't work anyway. Is there any working mod that could fix that? I just want a venator at all cost at this point idc

[fresh arch]

Do you have any other mods installed?

Are they active? Did you check whether DISABLEMODS.TXT is present or not?

[green prairie]

I vaguely remember more prerequisites for the first event to happen, but I can't completely remember

I know after the first it's 3 hours and 5 jumps

but I am pretty sure the first one has more requirements

[sage wyvern]

I removed the mod and the first warp I got a rescue event lmao

[green prairie]

ah yes, now I remember, the first freighter event is a regular freighter always, you only start to see capital freighter AFTER you already have seen the first rescue

[sage wyvern]

I mean I already had a bunch of them but when I finally learnt how it works they stopped appearing even after way over 3 hours and warping a dozen times it seems like the game was bugged or something. Im glad it works now, sadly I got the smallest venator

[green prairie]

iirc they only happen when you warp to a system you've never been before

[sage wyvern]

that explains a lot... I've been warping to the same outlaw system over and over

[green prairie]

the first 4 warps can be anywhere, but the fifth needs to be on a system you've never been before, at least that's how I remember it working

Has nobody made a mod that increases your pet slots? i just checked and i cant find one

[fresh arch]

Such a mod is not possible, the amount of pets / starships / MTs is hardcoded into the game

It must be compliant with the save data format that has a fixed number of entries for those

[raven obsidian]

can anyone help me? I trying to change ship seed via NMS editor, but when i save it, it change back. SO i changed it with JSON editor and it works, but i dont see ship in game and cant even summon her but i see her in editor. What i doing wrong?

[fresh arch]

Each save you see in game is actually composed of 2 save files, one for manual save (restore point) and one for automatic save

So maybe what hapened is, you edited to manual save, but game loaded the auto save because it was more recent

[swift bridge]

is anyone able to help find out why i cant open save editor

its a interenet explorer link when its meant to be a jar file im pretty sure

[hearty wasp]

Have you Java installed

[sleek geyser]

is there an easy way to unpack a .pak mod into lua file?

[fresh arch]

Only if the PAK was compiled with the LUA attached inside

[swift bridge]

yea its installed its just not making the file into a java one for some reason

[fresh arch]

Dragging the PAK file over the PSarctool will unpack it's content

[sleek geyser]

is PSarctool part of amumss ?

[fresh arch]

If you dont see any LUA after unpacking, means it wasnt included and you have to write the LUA yourself

Yeah but you can download it separate from github

[hearty wasp]

Did you download from the NMSSE github

[sleek geyser]

yh unlucky, just getting a psarc file now. >,<

[swift bridge]

yea

[sleek geyser]

wdym by writing the lua myself, how would I know, whats changed with the .pak?

[hearty wasp]

Then you prolly pressed some wrong buttons and downloaded an html

Click "Download Zip" from here

[fresh arch]

You pull out the MBINs, decompile them with MBIN compiler, compare the resulting EXML files to game's original files

And see what was changed to plan out the LUA script

[sleek geyser]

no idea how that works, is there a good mod/lua script for faster flying? i tested quite some, but didnt find yet a good one.

[fresh arch]

Dunno, search on Nexus in the recently updated mods

[hearty wasp]

Just search "flight" on Nexus

[sleek geyser]

thats what I did, but so far no success. thats why i wanted to compare their lua files. to make my own

[swift bridge]

this is what it ended up looking like

[hearty wasp]

Then you have to learn how to read lua scripts first

If you're just copy/pasting values and not interested in actually coding then the data structure that AMUMSS requires is not a necessity to learn

Most params are human-readable texts so just read them

And then experiment until you find a good value

Because that's all we do

[hearty wasp]

Have you tried running the exe

Or you can try to right click is jar and choose to run in Java

[swift bridge]

which 1 is the exe, ive tried running it in java but it just opens a cmd console and insta closes itself

[hearty wasp]

The one that says "application"

[swift bridge]

oh that 1 all it wants to do is extract itself over and over again for some reason i cant actually open it

[hearty wasp]

Have you let it extract itself?

[swift bridge]

i believe i have but just to be safe ill try it again

[fresh arch]

I think the issue here is

Somehow you got IE assigned to handle .JAR files

[hearty wasp]

Maybe outdated Java?

[fresh arch]

So system is trying to open them in IE which obviously is not how it works

[swift bridge]

i installed the latest java

[hearty wasp]

But yaah I still don't don't understand how'd IE get in there

[fresh arch]

Try right clicking on the JAR file, select Open With

Show us the dialog window that pops up

[hearty wasp]

If you want you can also just decompress the zip file

[fresh arch]

This is how it works for me, older version of Goatfungus

And I have no issues with opening it

[hearty wasp]

Why does it look like Linux

[fresh arch]

Because it's Windows

Customized with a Linux-esque skin

[hearty wasp]

Understandable, have a great day

[fresh arch]

Some of us like their shit being fancy

[hearty wasp]

Check the box below and run with Java

[fresh arch]

Yeah select Java TM Platfom Binary

[swift bridge]

that hasnt worked but its added a new file ill send it i think this might be it

[hearty wasp]

You're still in the setup phase

[hearty wasp]

You're not running the actual thing yet

[hearty wasp]

Now run the batch file at the top

[swift bridge]

ay that worked

[hearty wasp]

Cool

[swift bridge]

thanks for all that

[hearty wasp]

Prolly ran with some weird shit java before that

[swift bridge]

now i just gotta figure out how to link it to my xbox account but that cant be too hard

[swift bridge]

yea probably

[hearty wasp]

That's why it didn't extract properly

[last mulch]

are there any mods that expand the vertical reach of the flattening tool?

[fallow meadow]

I would think this is possible, considering the game provided through Steam and Java 8 not being an issue for NMSSE (goatfungus)

If you are going to give it a try, I'd love to hear more actually.

[fallow meadow]

Did you have to find the correct path yourself?

Would you mind sharing the path? You can leave out username and SteamID if you wish

Just curious for future reference

Would that be a steam folder, with st_<steam64ID>?

Ok, much appreciated. Will make note and update a command we use to find save files on the various platforms. Thank you

[fallow meadow]

@lime mesa Just noticed you asking about speeding up the Starbirth parts. Sadly enough, Mac has no modding possible yet, but you could have a look at the JSON to find mission timers for these quests. I have to help someone else first, but you are looking for 'timestamps', where it helps to have the current mission for it selected when looking in JSON. I can provide more info in a bit if you wish. Make a backup just in case

Actually, I do have a moment to have a quick look if you are interested in save editing yourself through this.

[grizzled granite]

Hello! Does anyone know which file contains ordered list of journal records or locale keys (see screenshot)? I know that text and locale keys can be found in LANGUAGE/*.MBIN.

[fallow meadow]

METADATA\REALITY\TABLES\STORIESTABLE.MBIN

[grizzled granite]

Ok, I should look at it again. Thanks!

[fallow meadow]

After loading your save, you can click 'Edit' at the top and select to 'Edit Raw JSON'

[vapid sedge]

i can help you

if you need help

[fallow meadow]

It makes it easier to have the mission selected in-game before closing out, so you can check for 'CurrentMissionID'

[fallow meadow]

Already sorted, no need for help, but thanks

@lime mesa The CurrentMissionID can then be used to check MissionProgress where I believe you could make an edit to speed things up. Both are found within PlayerStateData. I am not able to check what it looks like again at the moment, as I no longer have a save with these missions active. But I can suggest what to change if you are able to show me what data is present there

If I recall correctly, there should be some timestamp (Epoch time in seconds) that can be altered to fool it (either starting date/time, or ending date/time)

[fallow meadow]

Yes, PlayerStateData > CurrentMissionID, copy the ID and then do a search for the ID in PlayerStateData > MissionProgress and see what data is shown with it

I prolly wouldn't, and if it has ^ in front, I'd lose that too in a search.

Just make sure to check your search settings there too

So with PlayerStateData expanded, you then select MissionProgress on the left. Then you click in the right side data and press <ctrl> + F to do a search (assuming this works with Mac too?)

It will only search within whatever was selected on the left

Within MissionProgress the ID should only appear once

Could you chow a screencapture or maybe a snippet?

CMD + SHIFT + 3?

then paste here as I assume a capture is on the 'clipboard'?

or to desktop?

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201361

That might work if you wish to skip to the next step in progression, but you may wish to actually play the missions once?

the 'Data' field has a timestamp of 1694282256
Would that match the time when the step should complete the wait?
Sat Sep 09 2023 17:57:36 GMT+0000

Well, 24 hrs after by the looks of it, so yes, in GMT time

Correct, so it matches when it started the timer, was what I actually meant to say

Or would that be incorrect as well?

You are currently on a part of Starbirth that requires waiting, right?

No, it has already triggered and logged it in your save data

So just taking away and re-adding an inventory part does nothing

Is there any more data towards the bottom of that part of data?
The part between the opening curly bracket and the closing one further down (has to be at the same spacing

Yes, participants has more following, and the full block may contain more data after. I am not curious about the Participants themselves

You could make not of the progress value and increase it by one, which would move to the next step. Not quite sure it has the desired effect.

You always want to increase the value with just 1 at a time to check the result.

yes

No, once you either select another part in the JSON, or close the JSON editor window, it asks for confirmation. Then you still have to save once more on the Main tab

It usually does.

The same procedure will then likely work on next steps. I do suggest to play them until you are back to waiting again, to only then edit progress value once more from the value it is at (+1)

All good, have fun 🤪

[sleek geyser]

i wonder, when I am looking for an original EXML file of the game and I know the file name, how exactly do I find it in my game folder, without extracting and decompiling the whole game?

[fresh arch]

I dont think there is any way to do that

[fallow meadow]

Files are packaged into .pak files, which can not really be accessed until extracted. There are ways to find out in which .pak they exist, which can be useful in some cases. Decompiling is then still required to get to a format you can understand to easily edit.

[sleek geyser]

i know, how to decompile pak files. I just wondered how to know in which pak file a specific EXML file is.

[fallow meadow]

I believe NMSMB a C# tool is able to do this. I suggest you have a look around in the Modding Discord. Many helpful users over there willing to assist and answer questions

@maiden meteor There is a save editor called NomNom, which can do the transfer of save files from Game Pass to Steam. For a link to this save editor, see the pins in this channel

Currently it requires a bit of extra work to get the required info from your save files, as it is not detecting it automatically at the moment. Feel free to ask here how to get this info. NomNom is planned to be updated soon, which may fix this minor issue.

The info required is UserID (UID/LID) and username (USN) basically, from both platforms before being able to transfer.

[maiden meteor]

So i only need the save files i got before and userid and name for both platforms?

[fallow meadow]

You only need the save files, in which we can most likely find the info for the Game Pass side of the transfer. For Steam it is easy to get this info.

It is probably easier to understand once you have NomNom installed.

If you then need any assistance, let us know

[maiden meteor]

Oh ok thanks i will try later

[teal dragon]

Is there a mod that can help you find the last few remaining plants and rocks for scanning?

[fallow meadow]

I think there might be a mod that increases the scan range. A search on Nexus Mods should do

[teal dragon]

I mean something that will highlight unidentified plants/animals to make it stand out more. I've been searching for hours and can't find the last 6 plants and rocks :/

[fresh arch]

No such thing exists

There is a mod that makes the discovered / not colors stand out more in the visor

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1928

[teal dragon]

Yes this is exactly what I am looking for!

[pearl finch]

is there mod that will auto skip planet name after teleporting?

[fresh arch]

Skip? Prolly no

Make shorter - yes: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1628

[thick thunder]

is it possible to mod nms on xbox gp

[fallow meadow]

@thick thunder PC yes, not the console

[thick thunder]

how do i do it on pc

[fallow meadow]

You create a MODS folder within PCBANKS (game install location) and put any mods inside (.pak files). Then also remove/rename the DISABLEMODS file

For future reference 😉

[thick thunder]

thanks

[fallow meadow]

Ah yes, so much easier (keep forgetting we have a command)😉

[solid hawk]

If you have/use AMUMSS, in TOOLS\NMS_FULL_pak_list.txt, will tell you for every game file, what it's relative game path is and in which game .pak it lives. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2626

[sleek geyser]

good to know, thanks a lot

[solid hawk]

Think there's a command for EVERYTHING!

!time-to-pee

Nope, not everything, just most

[fallow meadow]

It could be arranged I guess, although possibly frowned upon 😄

[keen socket]

is there any mods that uses materials from your storage units when youre close to them or inside your base?

[solid hawk]

Not that I'm aware, but should be able to go into your inventory and do quick transfers

With NMS, we can't change game mechanics or logic, unless HelloGames provides a setting to do so.

[grim ibex]

my freighter base i tried downloading for goat fungus sv wont work

the link of it is here https://youtu.be/kz4AEEOM5lA

man

[green prairie]

use NMS Companion App and download the .bse file instead

[grim ibex]

i did

[nova galleon]

How do I check which mod is causing me issues with launching game

I stg pls don't tell me I have to disable mods one by one

[steel crypt]

Sort of.
You can remove half at a time. Then half of the half. etc.

[nova galleon]

half of my 123 mods are yours xD

[steel crypt]

Mine aren't causing crash.

[nova galleon]

im guessing its conflicting with exosolar's stuff

[hearty wasp]

you can start by posting MODS folder if you aren't up to the labour

[steel crypt]

If the mod hasn't been updated, it might be an issue.

[hearty wasp]

do it like this

[nova galleon]

sorry, wasnt trying to throw shade. I understand having 123 mods is a dumbass task

[steel crypt]

conflict isn't going to cause a crash. Just one mod will overwrite another.

[nova galleon]

ahhh ok

[nova galleon]

found the mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1507

It wasn't updated for Echoes but I didn't realize it. Thanks for the help everyone!

[hearty wasp]

we didn't do anything

[fresh arch]

We can still take all the credit though

[nova galleon]

jason told me mod conflicts actually dont crash the game. thats what helped tbh

[hearty wasp]

understandable have a great day

[nova galleon]

❤️

[last mulch]

@solid hawk sorry for mentioning you of all people but you seem to be the one who replies to the forum posts. For Ultra Base Building, there are certain things I can't seem to remove. Namely, the ATLAS.

how can I remove this?

oh also the multitool

which is especially annoying because it renders over everything

or, almost everything

[solid hawk]

Seem to be, or am? lol. On the mod page, in the Files tab:

[last mulch]

oh I may be a little stoopy

thank you

[solid hawk]

No problem. 🙂 After you remove the objects, make sure your game saves. Then can exit the game and take the remover helper .pak out of MODS and put the regular UBB one back into MODS.

[last mulch]

also, I think it would be funny to place a space station somewhere but they're so big that I can't actually place it without one error or another

[solid hawk]

The above, temporarily, changes all UBB objects into cubes, which have a good collision, so can be deleted.

[last mulch]

ah nice

[solid hawk]

Kinda have to scale some of the largest objects way down

[last mulch]

scaled it as far down as I could

ah great nexus stopped working

[solid hawk]

Some of those objects were from the early days, with Mjstral. I guess was looking for Wow factor

[last mulch]

fair enough

[solid hawk]

Coming back up now

[last mulch]

thank you

[solid hawk]

There you go, since Nexus is being so flakey. 🙂

[last mulch]

much appreciated

[solid hawk]

Let me onto the page for a second, then died again. Might be under a DDoS attack. You're welcome, enjoy

[last mulch]

oh, I asked before but dont recall getting an answer, is there a mod that increases the vertical range of the flatten tool?

[solid hawk]

I don't believe I've seen such a thing

[jade comet]

Any modders here? I have a question

[solid hawk]

Modders as in people who author or use mods?

People who create mods call themselves modders, but many who just play with mods call themselves the same.

[solid hawk]

Took a very quick look and the only propertry I see that can 100% tagged to flattening is FlatteningSizes. An enum with one entry, set to a default of 2. Probably radius.

[last mulch]

Oof

[solid hawk]

@last mulch Probably uses same as rest of the Terrain Editor for other settings

Here's an Lua that increases settings for the terrain editor. Run this through AMUMSS to generate a .pak for your MODS folder. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2626 See if it affects flattening tool or now

Please let me know what you see. 🙂

Isn't my mod, I only wrote the script for it.

[jade comet]

I mean the ones who play them, I have a question

Are there any mods that increase the game's avatar save slots?

[plucky steeple]

any mods you can recommend to help with performance issues?

[solid hawk]

Only a couple that I know of

These are scripts, to make the mod .paks

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

This doc will explain what you need and how to use them to generate mod .paks. 🙂

[plucky steeple]

i only use vortex im too stupid to mod the other ways

[solid hawk]

Then you're hosed

Both of these are private mods, unpublished

Basically you'd be reading like three or four pages, mostly white space, with screenshots to make this happen. Just take you a few minutes. If I can figure this out, so can you. Your choice. 🙂

Let's try this. Ever really wanted to use two mods, but one wouldn't work, because both mods were affecting the same game file?

Lua scripts for mods and AMUMSS to process are the answer to that dilema. See page 8, how to merge/combine mods.

Quite literally, ~8000 players currently use this, so can you. Makes up for the severe shortcomings of vortex.

Vortex doesn't check for conflicts, so if you do have conflicting .paks in your MODS folder, many of them probably aren't actually working. Vortex won't tell you if a mod is old enough (not updated) to cause game crashes. AMUMSS won't do the later either, BUT is the tool used to update a large number of mods, as long as they have Luas scripts, yourself, without waiting on the mod author.

[pearl finch]

is there any mod that fixes exocraft camera on slopes?

[vapid sedge]

AMUMSS is a pain

[fresh arch]

Drag and drop a file, double click on another and couple key presses are a pain?

[green prairie]

amumss requires ability to read

vortex doesn't

that's why it's hard

[steel crypt]

It's a lost art.

[solid hawk]

Illiteracy is fundamental

[hearty wasp]

if anyone don't want to use AMUMSS, then I suggest they accept the reality that they are not going to have wide mod compatibility

once they accept it things get easier for everyone

[vapid sedge]

well imo its way too much

i tried it and ran into a bunch of errors and cluelessness

then again i kinda stupid

[solid hawk]

Nah, probably just didn't have good documentation at the time. #nms-modding message try this, simple, step by step. Don't skip steps, don't blow them off. Everything in the install portion is based on avoiding running into pitfalls and issues. If you have questions or issues, just ask. A good deal of effort has gone into simplifying parts of the user experience lately. Can only simplify so much, but I believe it's now much improved.

[vapid sedge]

i might go at it again when im feeling better

[dense galleon]

Does anyone have a mod or the ability to make one, that takes"forests" or anything else and turns them up so we have like actual forests instead of just a few trees here and there

[steel crypt]

You might try NaturalSpawn mod in DUD'S SKY - TERRA FIRMA
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2022

@dense galleon

[solid hawk]

Alternatively, if you get AMUMSS, there's a sample script called DenserForests in TOOLS\ModScriptCollection. The script can be processed through AMUMSS to generate the mod .pak. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2626

[fiery umbra]

Are there any good UI QoL mods for the game?

I find the inventory menu kinda annoying to navigate

[tough breach]

I had to take a detour but this worked perfect, thanks

[pearl finch]

is there mod to make lines in galaxy map more visible?

[fresh arch]

Check out Lo2k's page on Nexus mods, they have a couple of UI related mods

But nothing too drastic, UI is one of those categories that not many mods exist for

[fiery umbra]

Strange

Cuz the UI seems to be the weakest part of the game so far

[hearty wasp]

it's also one of the harder things to mod

[solid hawk]

@fiery umbra The files are convoluted, with not much labeled well (if at all), and no good external viewer. Trying to correlate 54000 lines of this

in just a single file with what's going on in-game, takes a rediculous amount of time. Make a small change, go in-game to check results, exit game, another change....repeat many dozens of times to adjust just one thing.

[fresh arch]

And all that for a thing most people do not care about

That's why you see dozens of stack mods, of "perfect stats on X" mods, etc

That's what people want

[lime mesa]

hi

is there any way to change starship appearance in save editor?

[fresh arch]

Yes by applying new seed value to the starship

[pearl finch]

I'm looking for 2 mods:
Better angles for exocraft camera - If you are on slope in exocraft you cant see a thing.
More visible lines in galaxy map - these lines there are almost invisible
Can anyone help?

[fresh arch]

Affecting it's model, colours, stats, SC slots, name

[vapid sedge]

you can regen its seed thats ab it iic

if its a non sent ship then you can go to google and maybe find the right seed for the ship you want

but maybe cuz ppl said most ships seeds were changed

[lime mesa]

i just got a bug with my friend then it changed my exotic to sentinel one

lol i love the exotic

[fresh arch]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1436?tab=description - maybe this one?

Or look at Nexus for any camera mod that would have a LUA script

And use that to compile the mod with AMUMSS yourself

some awesome bug that replaced my old exotic with the sentinel ship apperrance and race but still holding the old technology

lol

[vapid sedge]

lol

[pearl finch]

well, thats not hard to undo in save editor

but if you new ship has nice stats just leave it

[lime mesa]

how can i do it please help

the stat is the same except the look

[pearl finch]

get save editor first

[lime mesa]

lol after i re enter the game, it replaced the old techs with the sentinel tech

maybe i will keep it and find another exotic one

but anyway, what a nice glitch

lol i just notice that cuz i didnt have photon cannon installed so i dont get the replace with the sentinel version of it

[vapid sedge]

there isnt that many sent weapons thats why

but you can put other weapons on them

one of my 11 sents is stacked with weapons \

[teal dragon]

To remove progress, does anyone know what to alter in the json file?
Specifically, I was in a party and stupidly walked into my friend's settlement (to use his teleporter to go back home)

Now the game thinks I discovered a settlement, gave me an in game achievement popup, added a quest and markers for that quest. I hate being boosted in games, and I want to revert that progress.

Does anyone know? Thank you.

[vapid sedge]

uhh

[lime mesa]

lol can u take a look at that, what is SHIP_Robot

[vapid sedge]

its a sent ship theyre classed as "robot" ships if you use nmsse itll show the real name and not ship_robot

[lime mesa]

but there is a sentinel class as well

[vapid sedge]

uh what

[solid hawk]

For map, try this and see if it helps. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1348

[lime mesa]

Sentient here

[vapid sedge]

alien

[lime mesa]

oh

i see

[vapid sedge]

i think it means alien or living

if you look at my ss it shows all types

[lime mesa]

oh okay

[vapid sedge]

https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor

better se imo

[teal dragon]

Anyone familiar with the NMS Save Editor and/or JSON?

[pearl finch]

what do you need?

[vapid sedge]

idk if theres a way to revert progress

[teal dragon]

I see

[lime mesa]

can i generate my own seed for ship>

[vapid sedge]

wdym

like typing random numbers

[lime mesa]

idk i read this and i though there is some way

[vapid sedge]

paid shit iic

ive seen a ship gen where its paid to gen

[teal dragon]

sadly I don't think it may be possible either :/

[vapid sedge]

nah

but its ok you were gonna have to find a settlement sometime

[lime mesa]

oh

lol i messed up with the supercharged slots and cant revert

it's perma-supercharge slots now

[vapid sedge]

lmao

[lime mesa]

cant undo

lol

[vapid sedge]

yea ik

oh well ig you have those slots now

[lime mesa]

lol im planning to sell it and change to another, dont wanna break the game much

[vapid sedge]

accept it or copy the seed for that ship then delete it then go to or get another bait ship set it to the ship type then put in the seed

[lime mesa]

no i mean just the multi tool, the ship is safe thanks god

[vapid sedge]

oh its a multi

[lime mesa]

my ship is back baby

with some tricky ways i can use that tool but no pay

lol

[vapid sedge]

well do what i said if you have a delete option should also have more then one multitool

so copy its seed

delete it

go to another tool

put in seed

and should be set

[lime mesa]

i just use one tool now

and still i dont like its appearance much

so gonna change sooner or later

[vapid sedge]

well get another cuz you can switch them out

[lime mesa]

yes ty

[teal dragon]

Is there a mod that makes it so that party member actions do not affect you? I.e. if they decide to attack a freighter I don't lose standing, or gain money/xp, quest progress, etc.?

[fresh arch]

No mod for that, that will be fixed in the next patch

Fixed an issue that could cause all players in the system to lose standing when another player destroyed civilian freighters.

[teal dragon]

good, but also darn 😦

it almost decentivises you from grouping up with friends if you hate being carried through games

[vapid sedge]

lol attacked the trade station and got like 20 sents on each of us there were 3 of us

[plain basin]

is there a mod where i can walk inside my ship ?

[vapid sedge]

like player ship?

the one you fly around in

[plain basin]

i mean like starfiled

[vapid sedge]

nah never happening

too much work

[plain basin]

why man

ahh

[vapid sedge]

idk you can go make one

prolly not even possible

[plain basin]

why

[vapid sedge]

idk cuz the games built on a custom engine

cant do things other games can

[plain basin]

ah ok

[fresh arch]

Modding NMS is pretty limited, can't add brand new functionality to the game

[vapid sedge]

yea

cuz of the custom engine

[fresh arch]

Only tweak / repurpose what's already in the game

Otherwise it will shit itself

[vapid sedge]

and corrupt your save if you try to mod those things

[plain basin]

could you press the code from the freighter romms to a normal space ship or it doesent work like this ?

[vapid sedge]

nah

its impossible

well possible but the game will SHIT itself

[fresh arch]

Haven't heard of a case of mods corrupting a save

[vapid sedge]

well if its something thats not supposed to be modified it might

[plain basin]

how much would it cost do to somthing like this ?

[vapid sedge]

skill ig

idk

could try to find a guide but i doubt there will be one for modding that kind of stuff cuz the games not made to do that stuff

[plain basin]

but is there a mod where i can fly normaly with my freighter ?

[vapid sedge]

nope

[plain basin]

what mods are there ?

for what

[vapid sedge]

go look at nexus 💀

[plain basin]

ok thanks man

[vapid sedge]

theres a catagory section go look there for whats availible for what

[plain basin]

but no man sky you cant mod that much is that right ?

[vapid sedge]

yep

just go look here

[plain basin]

can you sen me link ?

[vapid sedge]

bro its nexus its under "no mans sky"

click mods and youll see the stuff thats popped up there

there are a few good mods i am gonna instal them tomorow thx @vapid sedge

[vapid sedge]

np

[hearty wasp]

It prolly won't

The game's gone through so many save data structure changes it's actually very adept at ignoring bad data

[vapid sedge]

why hasnt anyone tried then

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/108

anyone know if this still works?

i need a good stacking mod

[vapid sedge]

do yk how i would modify .pak files?

[solid hawk]

Guy named WinderTP has a whole collection of stacking mods

Lol

[vapid sedge]

do they use AMMUSS

[solid hawk]

Yep

[vapid sedge]

bruh

[solid hawk]

I'm kidding though. Don't use the collection

[vapid sedge]

bruh

outdated?

[solid hawk]

Was done as a joke, because there's a bazillion of them

Stack mods

[vapid sedge]

well can you tell me how to modify .pak files?

[solid hawk]

I can get you an lua for one in a bit, but stuck on phone for awhile

[vapid sedge]

is it hard to do?

[solid hawk]

Drag/drop .pak onto psarctool to extract

Inside will be MBIN files

Drag/drop mbin onto MBINCompiler to decompile into human readable EXML files

Edit exml with a text editor

Drag/drop modified exml to turn back to mbin

Drag/drop all back onto psarctool to re-pak

That's the gist of it

From on a phone, typing with one thumb. 🙂

[vapid sedge]

all g

so easy i rhink

think

[solid hawk]

Hardest part is finding the right file/properties for what you want to do

[vapid sedge]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2177 does this still work?

[tough breach]

well this is exactly what i was looking for right now

like the timing

[solid hawk]

Most mods need to be updated to at least the latest major version to not crash the game. If older mods have an lua, might be able to use to self update, depending on file changes hg has made between then and now

Last updatrd, 2022, the .pak would crash the game

[vapid sedge]

well i have it installed

and is not crashing but also stacks aint workin

[solid hawk]

Like I said, I'll get you one, but can't until back at pc. 🙂

[vapid sedge]

im using vortex

[vapid sedge]

ok

[tough breach]

asking just in case but would you happen to know which folder is related to getting void motes

[solid hawk]

Hopefully less than an hour

[tough breach]

im not getting em when scrapping so tryna fix it

if you dont all good just checking

[vapid sedge]

take your time

im sick so i wont be going anywhere

[solid hawk]

There was a bug with this....trying to finf the info

Experimental Branch 02/09

Fixed some minor collision issues on the pirate freighter.
Fixed an issue causing some low priority missions to appear on the galaxy map.
Fixed an issue causing pirate titles to not unlock.
Added new pirate freighter warp effects.
Salvaging Atlas Multitools now awards Void Motes.
Fixed a rare hang that could occur when loading a save on Xbox.
Fixed some untranslated pirate name in empty systems.

[tough breach]

so its on experimental and not public?

[solid hawk]

So if not fixed yet, should be in nms 4.45 or switch to nms experimental

That's what hg says

Experimental is basically beta for whatever next release is

They'll push a few experimental builds, then that will be pushed to public

[tough breach]

so i can just wait instead of doing this

sounds fine by me, thanks a bunch man!

you are amazing honestly

[solid hawk]

Np.

@vapid sedge @tough breach Not my mod, it's @vale iron . Can use the .lua to generate an updated version https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2626

Can edit to change the multiplier

At the very top

Enjoy

[tough breach]

multiplier for what?

[solid hawk]

stack size

[tough breach]

ah yeah i see, i dont need it but cool

[solid hawk]

Ah sorry, thought you were looking for that as well. 🙂

[tough breach]

also this is out, i just need to update

gonna take me a while but yeah

[solid hawk]

Trouble with multiple conversations at once...from a tiny screen phone. haha

[tough breach]

got it

[solid hawk]

At least you got the info to fix your mote thing and how to extract .paks. 🙂

[vapid sedge]

bruh i dont wanna learn on how to use AMMUMSS just to update it

[tough breach]

honestly it aint that hard, check the pdf before getting bummed

[vapid sedge]

im a stupid mf bruh

[tough breach]

you just gotta press y/n once installed smh

[vapid sedge]

oh

maybe i am stupid

so how do i install it

[tough breach]

if you need help with it just ask i did it earlier today

[vapid sedge]

nvm

found it

[tough breach]

nice

[solid hawk]

That how to is short, step by step, with screenshots. Follow it and no problems

[vapid sedge]

trying it now

[vapid sedge]

what thing do i gen it in? full dev or "lean"

[solid hawk]

Go dev

[vapid sedge]

ok

[solid hawk]

Mostly affects amount of info displayed on the console and in the log. More info = more overhead. Lean is fastest, but can be lacking too much info if something doesn't go right. 🙂 For a single small script, we're not talking vast amounts of time differences between the three. A fraction of a second.

[vapid sedge]

so how do i modify alr installed files?

also where would i put them

[solid hawk]

alr?

[vapid sedge]

already

like a .pak file

where do i put it up modify it?

[solid hawk]

We go back to #nms-modding message for how

[vapid sedge]

im on this page rn

[solid hawk]

After being modified, mod .paks would need to go into your NMS install folder\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\MODS

[vapid sedge]

so i cant install it with vortex?

or can i still do that

[solid hawk]

That's NMSPE, an add on program for AMUMSS, used to extract/decompile game files and to do searches in the game files. Not for editing game file

[vapid sedge]

oh i need the other one

[solid hawk]

Output .paks from AMUMSS, no, can't use vortex for those, I think

Since you have amumss now, you can do a more automated method to extract/decompile .pak contents

Place a .pak into AMUMSS\ModScript. Run buildmod.bat. It'll extract the contents of the .pak and decompile the MBINs for you. Output will be in AMUMSS\TOOLS\UNPACKED_DECOMPILED_PAKs

I'll be back later. Have to take the oldest son to a club meeting. 🙂

[vapid sedge]

ok thx

[solid hawk]

np. If you run into other issues, can come over to the NMS Modding Discord, which is also the home base for AMUMSS/Luas, has it's own channel there. https://discord.gg/22ZAU9H

is there a convenient (i.e. quick) way to clear all chart markers? i kinda went ham using charts and i'm bored of going to each location to clear them.

i looked at the json stuff under markerstacks or soemthing using save editor but i'm scared of breaking things

Edit to add: i've basically got them all cleared but i definitely will make this mistake again in the future

[vapid sedge]

is there any mod that removes having to feed your pets?

[solid hawk]

Not that I'm aware. Looks like a base game mechanic between the .exe and save file, so wouldn't be a way for a mod to affect this. You don't have to feed, but the pet will become hungry and unhappy.

[vapid sedge]

dw i have fed my pet doggo

no doggo shall be unfed

[pearl night]

Nice to meet you fellow travelers, first time here and I wanted to ask if there is any updated mod for bigger inventory stacks? Thanks

[vapid sedge]

hah yes https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2068

if your using vortex install with vortex or manual

[devout lynx]

can i somehow get a rid of settlements

im tired of spending stuff in

[plain meadow]

Man NMS really has the potential to look like this with some changes to the scale of flora

[tough breach]

@solid hawk man i didnt think it a big deal but i downloaded nms from gog instead of xbox game pass for convenience so now i gotta mess with saves, you know a resource that explains it by any chance?

[hearty wasp]

[solid hawk]

Yes, what QP said, that's where the save expertise is

[tough breach]

yeap

@hearty wasp thanks

[green prairie]

yes, and potentially lag the shit out of your game.

[vapid sedge]

i can help you

pretty easy actually

[jade comet]

Anyone who uses mods I have a question for you, are there any mods that expand your avatar slots or no? If yes then tell me the name please

[tough breach]

i did it, i kept pressing ok instead of >> to transfer and was surprised it didnt work 💀

[vapid sedge]

lol

[vapid sedge]

nah

[vale plover]

Hi, i have a sligh issue with the new expedition, yesterday my computer got fried due a thunder storm (a lightning hit the line, fried the computer and i still don't have energy back at home) and i will surely not get the new parts before the end of the expedition, can someone send a tutorial/help to be able to unlock the rewards later? i'm not happy with that, but i know it's possible :/

[vapid sedge]

theres more inv slots if thats what you mean

[jade comet]

No like avatar slots

[vapid sedge]

wdym by avatar

[jade comet]

To store the characters you have created

[vapid sedge]

oh no

atleast none i know of

[jade comet]

Damn

Looks like i do have to check the whole page

[vapid sedge]

well you can make new saves?

thats ab it for creating "new" avatars

[jade comet]

I do not want to do the whole ||Artemis|| storyline again

Just so I can make more characters

[vapid sedge]

lol

[jade comet]

even I have my fucking limits

All I just want is one more character slot

If only I knew how to mod

[flint condor]

Anyone else has the issue that the game crashes on launch with Remove Technology Overload?

Also tried doing my own lua into pak file the game loads but the mod is not working

[vapid sedge]

i think you messed sum up

[solid hawk]

You'll have three options to get the rewards without completing the Expedition. 2 are mods, Season Reward Unlocker and Consumerism

The other option is to use one of the two save editors, Goatfungus Save Editor or NomNom

[vapid sedge]

can unlock them with SE kind a pain to click on them all tho but if you dont wanna do the mission its good

[solid hawk]

I was getting there, lol

[vale plover]

season reward allw you to get the rewards, and only the reward for the selectec expedition?

[vapid sedge]

i got to it first

[flint condor]

The original file from nexus crashes on launch

[vale plover]

pain to click them all? whut?

i'm just collection the one from this expedition

i'm not unlocking before stuff

[vapid sedge]

oh then thats easy

[solid hawk]

Then most likely, you have mod conflicts. More than one .pak that has the same game file in in. Game can only use one. Last loaded "wins". Run _Check_CONFLICTS_in_MODS.bat in the AMUMSS folder

[vale plover]

well, thx for the help

[solid hawk]

Then would need to merge any conflicts using the Luas. See that section in https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2626

[solid hawk]

You're welcome. So you won't miss out if the parts are there late, have options for getting the rewards after. 🙂

[vale plover]

well, ima use that if i cannot play it before the end

but now i have an escape

i don't even understand how the computer friend

[solid hawk]

If you need more detailed assistance once you're back up and running, just ask then

[flint condor]

no conflicts already checked its strange

[vale plover]

i have kind of a batterie

in french it's an "Onduleur"

allow you to clean the power and block if there is any surcharge

[solid hawk]

On a lark, look in PCBANKS folder.

[vale plover]

and if the power cut, you can still have a few minutes to shut it down

[solid hawk]

Maybe 4.44 recreated DISABLEMODS.TXT and none of your mods are running

[vale plover]

what, the season reward talk about, well season reward

[solid hawk]

In english, known as a UPS. Uninterruptible Power Supply

[flint condor]

rest is running of the 20 mods.. txt is not there but strange it crashes on launch

[vale plover]

oh okay, thx ^^

[solid hawk]

Whichever you choose to use then. Either mod or either save editor. All will get you the rewards, just need to pick which you prefer

No problem

[vale plover]

well, for ex if i use seasonal reward, i just need to go in emote, select the matching number of the expedition, and the rewards will be claimed?

and if yea, does it unlock it for all save, since the quicksilver shop is shared

[cunning glen]

Anyone know the value I need to put, so I can make it so I can scroll either, up or down to change player weapon? I know the values to change scroll up (mousewheelup) and down.

            <Property name="ActionSet" value="OnFootControls" />
            <Property name="Action" value="Player_ChangeWeapon" />
            <Property name="Button" value="" />
            <Property name="Axis" value="None" />
        </Property>```

I know the value exists somewhere, but I can't find it 😂

[plain basin]

is there i mod where i can i have all items in the game and every ship, and have unlimted build things ?

[solid hawk]

Yes and yes. 🙂

[vale plover]

thx ^^

[fresh arch]

Is its name "creative mode"?

[vale plover]

you made me les stressed about the expeditions ^^

now 'im not like : you need to do it, or find a way to do it ect....
i'm can be : well, not a that big deal to not be ableto play

[solid hawk]

Except, if you're asking unlimited number of build parts, then no. Hard code limit, due to limitations in the save files

They'll only hold so much data. Much above the hardcode limit and saves would corrupt

[plain basin]

but like ecery ship ?

evry

every

[vapid sedge]

nah

[solid hawk]

Nice, glad I could help

[solid hawk]

You can have as many ships in one save, as the limits allow. Think it's 12 now

[vapid sedge]

yea

it is

[solid hawk]

But only 9 will appear in your freighter at once, only 9 landing pads

[vapid sedge]

kinda sucks imo

[plain basin]

ah ok

[solid hawk]

Thanks. I don't get to actually "play" much anymore, so some of this stuff I don't see often myself

[vapid sedge]

lol all good ik most the limits cuz i fucking hate them

[solid hawk]

I'll leave y'all in the very capable hands of FriendlyFire

[plain basin]

where can i see if a mod is still on updated

[fresh arch]

Capable of destroying stuff, sure

See the link to Nexus Mods

[solid hawk]

Yep, but a lot are hardcoded, specifically due to save file limitations. Occasionally HG figures out a way of increasing data limits in the saves, like when max ships went from 9 to 12, but I think they had to reduce data elsewhere in the saves to make that happen and always a concern of corrupting players saves, which is a big no no. 🙂

[plain basin]

thanks#

[vapid sedge]

yes

which is sad

[solid hawk]

Nexus Mods. Best and really only viable way to choose mods: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/newrecently

[vapid sedge]

12 ships isnt enough for me

[solid hawk]

More on a different save then, lol

[vapid sedge]

nah its been years since i originally started its so much dif from 2018 💀

[solid hawk]

If older than latest current major version (now 4.40, and sometimes minor version) and not either a pure TEXTURE mod or model replacement, will most likely crash the game

So no point in looking at most endorsed or most downloaded, as many of those were abandoned years ago.

[vapid sedge]

yea

i noticed that

[solid hawk]

Just go based on last updated.

[solid hawk]

Yes, I was a day one player. Also one of those who quite soon after, due to the issues, but I came back to it a couple of years later.

[vapid sedge]

same i left when i used to play on my xbox

well not same i played around a year or two after the game came out

[plain basin]

did i did everthing right or do i have to change somthing ?

[fresh arch]

You need a PAK file inside the MODS folder, not a ZIP archive

See 1st link and example image

[plain basin]

i tried

whats a pak file ?

[fresh arch]

The thing that is inside that 7zip archive you got there

Game files are stored in PAK archives, that's the data format the game reads stuff from

[plain basin]

so i have to do what ?

[fresh arch]

If you go 1 level up in Windows Explorer, to the PCBANKS, you will see a bunch of PAK files

You need to unpack that 7zip archive

You dont have any app for that on your PC?

[plain basin]

no man

[fresh arch]

WinRAR, WinZip, 7zip, nothing like that?

[plain basin]

i never did somthing like this

wait

[vapid sedge]

go install winrar

[plain basin]

ok i will do it

[fresh arch]

Not sure if WinRar supports 7z

Better get 7zip, it's free anyway

[vapid sedge]

should be able to change it

i think

[plain basin]

ok

[vapid sedge]

i use winrar without paying 🥱

[plain basin]

which

[vapid sedge]

first one

[plain basin]

ok

i am to dumb can somone help me quick ?

[fresh arch]

You have that 7zip installed?

If yes, you should be able to right click on that 7z archive and extract it

[plain basin]

ye but its always a new zip datie

file

7

z

[fresh arch]

You need to unpack the file, not pack it into ZIP

[plain basin]

wait

[fresh arch]

You picked the wrong option

I dont even speak German and see that

[plain basin]

you mean the first ?

[fresh arch]

How the fuck am I supposed to know?

I dont see your screen

[plain basin]

i am sorry

ahhh

ops

i did somthingh wrong

sorry

thx for your hellp i am stuipid with computer things

[fresh arch]

Extract the archive, see if you get the PAK file

Make sure you have that in MODS folder, delete the rest, you dont need it

[plain basin]

i didnt work

ok

[fresh arch]

What did not work

[plain basin]

the mod

i try again

[fresh arch]

Do you have the PAK file?

[fresh arch]

You can't have 2 MODS folder in your path

GAMEDATA/PCBANKS/MODS

[plain basin]

oh

i will delete one

[fresh arch]

This is where you put files, PAK only, delete LUA

[vapid sedge]

you take the .pak file out and put it in /mods

[fresh arch]

After that go to PCBANKS folder (1 level up)

And make sure DISABLEMODS.TXT is deleted

[vapid sedge]

i didnt even have one of those to start with lol

well i did but it was enablemods or some shi

[fresh arch]

Some updates restore that file

So it's a good practice to check for it

[vapid sedge]

it was like that when i installed the game

b4 i even made a mod file

[fresh arch]

Game does not ship with an enable mods file

At least not on Steam

[vapid sedge]

im not using steam cuz why the fuck would i spent what 60-70 on a game i get for free?

[thorny frost]

what are you using instead of steam?

[vapid sedge]

not steam

also rlly "piratating an indie game"

nice one

[thorny frost]

mb i just assumed the worst lol

[vapid sedge]

i saw

[plain basin]

can i put 2 mods at the same time ?

[vapid sedge]

as long as its just the .pak files and not the folders you can put as many as you want

[fresh arch]

Yes, you can have multiple mods installed

[vapid sedge]

and they updated

[plain basin]

ok thx

[fresh arch]

(assuming they don't conflict with each other)

[vapid sedge]

yea that too

[plain basin]

ok

I really hope you're not using a pirated copy of the game @vapid sedge.
It'll be best if we don't discuss or mention stuff about game piracy in the server. We are the official community discord partner for NMS and there are some strict rules and guidelines stated by Discord itself (alongside our own rules), especially for discussing or talking about or hinting at a pirated copy of the game.

[vapid sedge]

im not bruh

want proof 💀

[timid burrow]

As long as it's a legitimate copy and we're not discussing (or indirectly promoting) game piracy you're good, I don't have an issue even if it's free. That's all I wanted to say 🙂

[plain basin]

@timid burrow but like steam codes are allowed right ?

[hoary magnet]

dudes

need help

I`m somehow bug out, and admins told that here someone can help me with save editor

to send my gear to new save file

[tacit tide]

I told you that you can back up your current ship with a save editor and reimport into your next save.

[hoary magnet]

because main quest bug

how?

[tacit tide]

Which platform are you on?

[hoary magnet]

PC

[vapid sedge]

put everything into your ship then hit import

[tacit tide]

Download one of the save editors. I use goatfungus, but they're very similar.

[vapid sedge]

one of the better ones

imo

[tacit tide]

Go to your ship tab, and back up your ship to a file, remembering to check the "save inventory" box

[hoary magnet]
