also should i be use this AMUMSS thing i keep seeing?

olive grotto
#

!mod-faq

#

ehh what's the command again

#

nvm

round sinew
#

in terms of mods? just take a look at nexusmods website, sort by last updated, see what you fancy. dud's sky colors for example

#

if you want to yes, or you can just do what i suggested - find a post online with the glyphs to a system that has the ship you like/want to find, then ask someone to taxi you there, or unlock the glyphs through the storyline and go get it yourself

round sinew
marble aurora
#

so if i learned AMUMSS it would basically solve both problems?

#

my lua issue and mods not working?

round sinew
#

iow, if you got the lua of a mod, you can set up AMUMSS, and compile that lua for any game version, well, might need to do some changes from time to time

round sinew
#

or loading mods after that are overwriting previous mods

#

AMUMSS can also check for conflicts

marble aurora
#

hmm it might be the latter then cause most are from last week or so

#

update wise

hearty wasp
#

You don't put luas into MODS folder

solid hawk
#

Sick, the issue you have is mod conflicts. Solution to this is combine/merge conflicting mods using amumss/lua scripts

I changed the size to my creature in my files from a 1.0 to a 120.0 my flying snake encircled the entire planet 😂 causing my game to freeze then break. I had to use my saved game I backed up on my computer

night adder
#

@lime mesa Iirc, 21.0 is the largest Ive gotten 1 of those to summon without crashing on my PS4 - it was a close thing though, lol

lime mesa
#

I couldn't even spawn it 😂 the second I clicked x my game crashed

night adder
#

Yeah, thats what happens - I started higher, I'm saying 21.0 worked, and 22.0 crashed

lime mesa
#

I even expanded my grid size for my Multi-tool from an 4/3 to a 8/4 now I got 54 free slots available

#

I got a blob up to planetary size, but it was a long time ago and on PC. Didn't notice any issues, other than very bad textures when stretched that much

night adder
#

I saw a PC player post a worm at 1000.0 size - he listed his setup, which was pretty high end, mainly to explain why he was so shocked the game dropped to 0-1fps for a full 15 minutes before the lag spike smoothed out XD

#

(For some reason worms have much worse summon lag than other types - I cant summon a 22.0 worm without crashing, but a 100.0 cat loads in after a few seconds of stutter)

#

I edited my save, now I have 5 billion of everything

I honestly don't understand, at all, what the deal is with people wanting to make stupidly large pets. Think of the additional food costs and cleaning up the poops!

green prairie
#

it's because riding a big pet is cool

#

but

#

riding pets in this game is insanely boring

because they're slow as fuck

Hi folk, think I need some help. Playing on Mac, I just got out my ship in a spaceport, and got thrown up onto the roof. Can't get back in. Have re-loaded my restore several times, I spawn outside the port.

@round sinew is there a step by step for editing my spawn?

How do I know which save it is? there's 4 mf_save.hg and 4 save.hg

#

Found it

#

Change it to "InShip" ?

round sinew
#

that's going to spawn you InSpace, and that automatically means ship

#

once done, just click the X to close window, save, and then save again, File, Save File

then close save editor

#

launch game

#

load save

molten pollen

It worked!

#

Amazing, thank you so much @round sinew

used InSpace or InShip?

InSpace

#

wierdly though it put me on the ground in the spaceport next to my ship lol

round sinew

#

@molten pollen @round sinew No, its because inspace does spawn in ship, but system coordinate position was also still inside SS, so it basically just landed you on load

@wispy vigil so basically you run the save editor, select your save on the dropdown list, then goto to the exosuit tab, right click on a free cargo slot, add item, type radiant brain, press search , save. then click file at the top left, save, close save editor, launch game

What's the newest save editor?

fallow meadow
blissful escarp
#

as in

#

with better UI

#

lets you see what you're editing live

fallow meadow
#

@blissful escarp I think that is a somewhat personal preference. For me that would be NMSSE, as it has more basic features and is very reliable. NomNom has a lot more features with even more planned, but not always as reliable, but certainly not bad either, especially considering someof the features. Some may even have both, and use whichever is best suited for the task

blissful escarp
#

extra features?

fallow meadow
blissful escarp
#

yes ofcourse

#

thats not what i meant

#

i meant in the editor, showing you how it'd look like ingame

fallow meadow
#

I do a lot of raw JSON editing, for which I prefer NMSSE. Save transfer is a regular used feature only NomNom has. Many users may also prefer the export features of one over the other. Really hard for me to tell which you will like best

#

As for UI, both work well, both try to replicate slots as they appear in-game, including images of items etc.

tiny needle
#

are there mods that make this game not stutter every 20 seconds?

cloud patrol
#

That’s the best option

tiny needle
#

I have very stable fps, just stutters very often, it's not possible for it to be my hardware

cloud patrol
#

Then in that case all I can recommend is that you reinstall the game

tiny needle
#

I'm guessing the main thread (or maybe just the render thread since things like sounds appear not to stutter) blocks when something is being loaded so probably not fixable in modding

Hi all, is it possible to transfer save game from cracked game to real game?

That’s kinda hard to do when you don’t have a legit copy to do it with. Thus the question.

#

He just said he bought a legit copy

#

And wants to transfer his save from the cracked copy to his legit copy

steel crypt

I saw that yes.
Which is exactly what I would expect someone to do if they didn’t have a legit copy.

Most frequently used is Vortex, BUT traditional mod managers do not work well for NMS, because of file conflicts. Conflicts are mods that make changes to the same game file(s). By default, if there's a conflict, only one of the conflicting mods will work. None of the mod managers out there check for those or can do anything about it. AMUMSS is a conflict checker and Lua script processing platform. Can do those conflict checks AND be used to remediate conflicts, by combining/merging conflicts mods so they can work together. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2626

Nexus Mods :: No Man's Sky
How to use AMUMSS

Just a simple pdf with a step by step to set up and work with AMUMSS

#

Not unusual for a Vortex user to ask why ONE of their mods isn't working and turns out 50% of their enabled mods aren't working, due to conflicts.

#

The smart folks deal with NMS mods manually, for full knowledge and control of what's happening, with remediated conflicts.

#

Process is fairly simple. Manual download mod from NexusMods, place the mod .pak file into NMS install\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\MODS folder.
Delete PCBANKS\DISABLEMODS.TXT
That mod should not run fine, as long as it's updated.

#

As you add more mods, do conflict checks with AMUMSS. If a conflict is found, fix using AMUMSS, covered in that How To how to combine/merge.

I'm dowloading AMUMMS by following the PDF guide and ran into some issues when I ran the test file. It says I need NET5 and no other versions (NET6) will work but I thought NET5 was getting deprecated. The guide also says to install 6, not 5.

it says to install 5 the last time i used it

it updated to use net6 now

be, as .net 7 is short term support. Next will be 8, either late this year or early next.

Latest full is 4.2.1.4, before the change to .net 6, so doesn't check for 6.....You need to apply the AMUMSS update, to get to latest, 4.3.0.0, before running the test install

grim ibex
#

where do i find this the persistent player bases file

image.png
fallow meadow
fallow meadow
#

@grim ibex Now if this is in fact a different base, you will still be needing a Save Editor (see pins for NomNom or NMSSE). From what I can gather, it would require you to use the Raw JSON Editor to overwrite your current freighter Base. Once you open the JSON Editor, you have to navigate to 'PlayerStateData > PersistentPlayerBases > [X]', where X is a number (index), each containing full data of a single base. You will have to check each of these numbers in your save data, to find out which number is your freighter base. To recognise a freighter base, you can look at the data it contains. You can check the 'BaseType' field to see if it has the 'FreighterBase' value instead of 'HomePlanetBase'. You can also identify a freighter base by having a 'AIRLCKCONNECTOR' (freighter specific) part instead of a 'BASE_FLAG' (Base Computer). Once you found the number that contains your freighter base data, you will have to replace part of the data provided through the link you found. The full data provided will not have the required userdata to identify you (Owner), and it will also not have the correct in-game location data for where your freighter is at (GalacticAddress/Position/Forward). The only section you should replace, is the full 'Objects' data within. So only copy all of the 'Objects' data from the download, and paste it over all of the 'Objects' data within your save data Freighter Base 'Objects' field. Do mind formatting and spacing, as this has to be done correctly for it to succeed.

Note: Make sure to have a backup of your saves, just in case!

Could anyone help me with restoring my settlement? I changed the name and its fully bugged out now. Basically the game thinks its mine and not mine at the same time. My settlers mission and my teleporters still point me to it, but the central pillar says I have to claim it and the main building got erased from existence.

#

(the mission points to an empty point in space because of it, which is a little funny)

#

But I'm very concerned that I'll lose my settlement, especially its location on the planet

vapid sedge
#

you might have to use save editor to remove it

hearty wasp
#

yeah resotring is prolly not gonna be doable reliably

#

unless you have an old save

#

e.g. you changed the name after landing and getting out of your ship but before using a safe point to create a restore point

quiet verge
#

no i do not have a backup

#

removing the settlement is fine, as long as I can get a new settlement in a good location with good stats

round sinew
quiet verge
#

i would much prefer to keep the same one yes, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if i got one in a similar location

#

i searched through many settlements with many charts for this one though iirc

#

was like 1.5 years ago so not fully sure

#

but i recall it taking a long time

round sinew
#

(here's the settlement code in the json editor - can just search for its name)

probably different for yours ofc

#

oops

#

thats not what i wanted to copy

#

install that

#

@round sinew My current ideas are first renaming the settlement to its original name using the save editor (before I renamed it, not the procedural one) and if that doesnt work ill try claiming the settlement at the central pillar and then using the save editor to rebuild it

#

first things first though, how do you make a save backup?

round sinew
quiet verge
#

35mb is very small wow

quiet verge
#

sorry if im asking much but i really dont wanna mess anything up

vapid sedge
#

not rlly hard tbh

quiet verge
#

I copied the HelloGames folder in appdata roaming to another location

vapid sedge
#

just install it then we go from there

quiet verge
#

wait should i run the .bat or the .jar

#

sorry for so many questions and if its frustrating lol

fallow meadow
#

You run the top .bat

vapid sedge
quiet verge
#

should i run in offline mode on NMS while doing this?

vapid sedge
#

nah

#

doesnt rlly matter

quiet verge
#

aight

vapid sedge
#

make sure your games closed tho

quiet verge
#

yeah i closed it

fallow meadow
#

Just make sure to not have a save loaded. Being in the main menu prior to selecting a save is still fine

quiet verge
#

i did open the bat while having the game open but thats no big deal is it?

vapid sedge
#

nah as long as you dont load a save

#

well the save you want to modify

fallow meadow
#

Quit to main menu, then get back to the editor

quiet verge
#

i went to desktop but close enough i think

vapid sedge
#

ye

fallow meadow
#

Desktop is perfect

quiet verge
#

so just select the game slot now?

vapid sedge
#

yep

#

save slot1/autosave 1 or whatever

#

the one that has 1 is always the 1 unless you have your save under slot 2-3 or sum

fallow meadow
#

I suggest always selecting a slot, because then the editor picks the latest save for that slot automatically

quiet verge
#

my slot is 1

vapid sedge
#

under it should be the latest save then

vapid sedge
quiet verge
vapid sedge
#

yes

fallow meadow
vapid sedge
#

yea

fallow meadow
#

Ok, I guess that makes the issue more prominent eh?

#

Could it be the custom tags you used for naming?

round sinew
#

thats what i was thinking that could have caused it, but idk for sure

quiet verge
#

possibly, but ive always had those

#

i changed the settlement name after that to something else, but didnt change the tags

#

oh wow this is really weird

#

@round sinew it shows the procedural name and my name as 2 different settlements

#

dont ask why one of them is called Antwerp LMAO

#

bit of an inside joke ig

round sinew
quiet verge
#

yup

#

theyre listed as 2 different settlements lmao

round sinew
#

i only have a single entry there

quiet verge
#

no idea what i should do now LMAO

fallow meadow
#

@quiet verge Considering it is showing duplicate names, I think it is best to actually have a look at the raw data

#

even the save editor is confused 💀

Got another problem, I just saved up enough quicksilver to buy the golden ship from the store as im using the consumerism mod but i just bought it and its nowhere to be found? I am pretty new so It might have just gone somewhere else but its not in my summon menu anywhere.

vapid sedge

I didnt get any prompt, it just took the quicksilver and it says already owned on it

vapid sedge
#

is it in ur inv?

lime mesa
#

Nothing new in my inventory

Not sure where its gone but it says already owned

#

I only have 1 ship currently so i dont think that would have been an issue

fresh arch
#

See if it's under the expedition rewads section

#

It was from expedition 1

vapid sedge
#

oh yea it might be under there

#

wait now that i think ab it thats where they go iic

lime mesa

Not there either

Says the same thing that its already owned

Ive restarted my game and such but its still the same

Maybe we could ask the author, @hearty wasp

Just bought another item but it was a cosmetic item rather than a ship and thats stayed but for some reason the ships and multitools from there dont seem to stick.

Tried another ship now and its the same thing

I remember when i got another ship it popped up showing the stats and everything like if i was buying one where as this time its not prompted that.

have you tried restarting?

Lemme go buy a random ship and see if that works.

I've heard others getting frigates saving and reloading afterwards would work too but I dunno if ships' the same

lime mesa

So I just bought a random ship and tried again but says already redeemed

#

Im not sure if that is the problem becuase the multitool was the same and i have 2 multitools

hearty wasp
#

If you have bought it before already the save saves it

#

You'd need to yeet that data by editing your save

lime mesa

Does that mean i will be unable to get it now?

yesa

you gotta use a save editor to remove it then rebuy it or reunlock it

If you want to change a normal ship color, you can only do so by changing the seed or doing a save edit that will only be visible to you. If you want to change the golden vector or utopia speeder, I have mods for custom colors of those.

jagged hatch
#

Like this

jagged hatch
vale iron
#

Some of the older versions had terrain like that

vapid sedge
#

Every terrain generated game has had that kinda bug

fallow meadow
#

@jagged hatch If this happens without ANY mods installed, then this is likely a game issue, unless you are playing an old version of the game. If this happens with mods installed, one of them must be the culprit. Figure out which and you can notify the mod creator.

#

Most likely a mod causing this. I can imagine how terrain height is possibly altered, while the resource deposit is still being created at its initial source location, to then being dragged down (or up) by the altered terrain gen from a mod

jagged hatch
#

I think too that terrain height is all over the place so it messes up the nodes

hearty wasp
#

I'd argue if you're playing with any mod then you are already not playing the way HG intend it to be played

#

if it's not behaving the way you intend to play it, that's another matter

green prairie

vein like that is a qol

#

fuck having to figure out if you left resources in the hole because the scanner grid thing that is supposed to be helpful is actually bugged and never works

steel crypt
# jagged hatch

That is intentional. One of the BPG terrain mods is causing it. Most likely alien terrain.

You have 2 terrain mods installed. One is overwriting the other.

NMS used to do deposits like this with an earlier version of terrain. Alien terrain I’m pretty sure uses a sorta copy of an older version of terrain.

#

It’s not a bug.

jagged hatch
#

Besides, the terrain is very wacky with it, too much in fact. The biomes and all are great, but the TERRAIN is very all other the place

#

over

steel crypt
steel crypt
fallow meadow
steel crypt
#

Not exactly.
What I’m trying to say is it’s a deposit is not going to be “out of place”

#

It will be where the mod/terrain gen wants it.

#

That deposit isn’t out of place. Its a different shape than the recent deposits. It’s in a shape of the older gen deposits.

fallow meadow
#

Ok, so it is actually using the old way of creating deposits, not caused by a shift in terrain height

#

I did not recognise any of the mods listed to do this, but I am also not familiar with all of them

#

I do at times miss those resource pillars, not the falling through terrain that often came with it back in the days 😄

steel crypt
#

Umm right.
The new deposits are a totally different shape and they are positioned at …..say normal ground height and lower.
The older deposits had many more shapes and most are not made to be lower than ground height.

All what I just said is technically wrong but might give a picture. It would take days for me to explain terrain gen. Took me 2 years to fully understand it hahah

fallow meadow
steel crypt
#

TERRA FIRMA uses those deposits, but a lil changed and only on “prime” planets. Which makes it rare. All other planets use the current deposit types.

fallow meadow
#

I can imagine it taking time to learn the nitty gritty from just source files

steel crypt
#

It literally took me a bit over 2 years to experiment with it and learn. I reloaded NMS 1636383885837 times haha. I know the loading screen very well.

#

OMG

steel crypt
#

I had another modder wanting me to explain terrain. We set time aside. I got maybe 1/20th of the way through and the modder said F this…you do the terrain stuff.

fallow meadow
#

I am curious about that amount of reloads. What tool is it that uses long long integer value?

steel crypt
#

I’m not sure what you’re referring to.

#

I don’t know how many times I actually loaded NMS for terrain but it was thousands.

fallow meadow
#

Well, this value would be too large for a regular integer :) 1636383885837

#

I guess that was another bad joke, or just misunderstood. I need to make note to convince Red

steel crypt
#

The only thing I can think of close to what you’re saying is sometimes code truncates a number so 163738294947491 might become 1637E or something like that. Haha

#

I hope someday we can get a mod that fixes ship steering so it actually does what I want instead of randomly ignoring my mouse or turning left when I move my mouse up etc

fresh arch
#

Never heard of such issues, what is your starship manueverability at?

zenith granite
tiny needle
tiny needle
zenith granite
tiny needle
#

you're right, it does seem more precise on a controller

zenith granite
#

All games with a vehicle. Be it car bike plane ship. Work better with a controller. From speed don't roll to overall movement

#

Just remember to invert you Y axis in "camera — flight control"

tiny needle
#

also seems like moving up/down is much quicker than left/right

#

as if sensitivity was lower for horizontal axis and higher for vertical

#

especially when boosting with shift, moving left/right is turtle speed and up/down is fast (with a mouse)

#

seems like there is no sensitivity setting per axis so perhaps it's an issue for me for using an ultrawide screen (assuming the sensitivity is relative to window size)

zenith granite
#

Try turning it off and on again.

tiny needle
#

I love the game but things like this are frustrating, I haven't seen this happen in any other space flight games I've played

#

where do I report this bug?

fresh arch
#

!hg

hardy auroraBOT
fresh arch
#

But again, what is your manueverability

#

I have this diagonal movement happening on a ship with high manev. stat

#

No mods affecting that

tiny needle
#

that means it's a bug with how the game handles the stat, your ship should go where you point it

fresh arch
#

Or the fact that the game's flight models were not designed with ships reaching 3-4k in manuev

#

Because those values were not possible before

tiny needle
#

I mean yes that could be the why but it's nonetheless a bug that produces frustrating UX

#

the maneuverability stat of the ship in the video is 869

#

if that's too high then the game should have some maximum value

fresh arch
#

Nah, I have ships with higher stats and those do not display this behaviour

tiny needle
#

but also I increased mouse sensitivity to 100% for flight because without it it was even less usable

#

maybe playing games like freelancer spoiled me

fresh arch
#

That could be the issue since Interceptors have a low maneuv. stat

#

They turn pretty much like a brick barn

#

Even with multiple pulse drive upgrades installed

tiny needle
#

I shall try it! thanks

night adder
#

@tiny needle @fresh arch Yes, ships have a different threshold for upgraded Maneuverability stat based on their Core Maneuvering - the higher that is, the lower the overall stat where the spins effect begins to occur. Also worth nothing, both planet size and average terrain elevation have an effect, so IME, a Fighter/Solar/Exotic begins experiencing it at ~3000 Maneuver, and experiences it in all atmospheres by 4000.
An Interceptor, however, can be pushed to over 5000 without suffering anywhere¹

  1. Interceptor testing was cursory, value may be somewhat inaccurate
#

The actual cause is an interaction between basic turning speed, governed by core Maneuver, combined with Boost Maneuverability bonus - you hit a point where the boost multiplier applied to basic turn speed hits stack overflow for overall turn speed.

tiny needle
#

I don't think that this behavior is intentional so hope it gets fixed in the future

steel crypt
#

haha intentional is a slippery slope with HG

#

I agree it shouldn't be able to break the game though

#

There should be an upper limit

night adder
#

Certainly not, stack overflow means the values our tech allows for are too high for the flight mechanics to process - the likeliest fix HG will use, if any, is to nerf our tech so we cant hit the same point, so be careful what you wish for.

tiny needle
#

what kind of weird calculations are going on in there where even a 16 bit float is not enough?

night adder
#

What it means on a meta level though, is that theres no point devoting >1-2 SC slots to Pulse tech, which is 1 of the main reasons starships benefit more from spread out slots than adjacent ones.

#

Well, core maneuverability governs base turning speed. Maneuverability upgrades apply 70% to Core Maneuverability, 100% to Boost Maneuverability, which only applies while boosting. So the game needs to calculate out overall core and boost maneuver stats separately before it can combine them into overall turn speed, and all values use 16 digit precision XD

tiny needle
#

a 16 bit float is like 4 billion max already

#

don't think I can get my 700 maneuverability past 10000 with mods

#

since it only does it in +X+Y and -X-Y axes I would attribute it to some wonky conditional instead

night adder
#

I'm not a programmer, script kiddie at best - I can refer you to the people I trust with these details, but I cant explain 16 bit float and how it relates here in a proper fashion

tiny needle
#

well, if it's really stored as a 16 bit floating point then you overflow at numbers above 4 billion, should be relatively safe

#

if it's a 16 bit integer then that limit goes down to 32k, but I think the stat shows a decimal

night adder
#

I do admit, my conclusions are based just as much on observed behaviour as actual math - I know the math for how core vs boost maneuvering work out separately, Ive had to fill the gaps in how they come together and the result

tiny needle
#

still a bug tho let me move the ship how I want ahhhhhhhhhhh

#

coming from games like everspace or freelancer is just super jarring

night adder
#

Basically, I can tell you whatll happen when, I just cant explain why XD

#

Yeah, I love flying, the whole reason I started down this path was because I needed every last scrap of potential to improve the feel of flying XD

#

I played a lot of XWing vs TIE Fighter/Alliance

tiny needle
#

I think there's potential for a lot of fun space fights in the game

#

did you play freelancer?

night adder
#

No, after that I stopped gaming on pc, so I dove into FPS, racing, and mmos, then into strategy, survivsl, and sandbox. NMS is the 1st game to rekindle that passion, even lacking as it is, I love flying,and I've come up with several "civilized dogfighting" rule variants, plus cave flying is always laughs - you either make it through, you die, or you somehow manage to reverse through >1000u of windy tunnels

tiny needle

bet, freelancer is a great title when it comes to space flyin

We can't add new properties that don't exist in vanilla, as the exe would have no understanding. Mostly value changes to what already exists or repurposing existing "code", as long as it works within the set framework of the structure of a given game file.

#

In the case of the galactic map, we're limited to what's already in GCGALAXYGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN.

#

The mod above just replaces a language variable that's used by the galactic map

that was weird, I think vortex bugged out because after uninstalling then reinstalling now its working

I only did that because the file was not in pcbanks folder even though it was "installed". now file is in pcbanks folder

Yeah, don't use Vortex for mod installation in NMS. It's easier and more reliable to just do it manually

You can use it for mod tracking, but don't let it handle installation

just look at your MODS folder

oh. Ok in my game files, in "MODS" there is a folder called "EXPORTED" -->METADATA-->UI-->and then in the UI folder there is an MXML file called "NGUIUSERSETTINGS"

are the folders there by default or does this mean there was some mod installed that i dont understand? i had it years and years ago

How hard it would be to transfer base to different save? Is there any other clever way to avoud that 16k parts limit without starting new save and obtaining everything again?

fallow meadow
# pearl finch How hard it would be to transfer base to different save? Is there any other clev...

Be aware of how the game works. You can only ever see your own bases which are actually in the save that you are using. This means if you transfer a base to another save of yours, it will only be visible to you when you actually play that save. If you upload your base, it will be available to everyone else, regardless of which save you are playing. The game just never 'downloads' your own bases, but only uses what is present in the save, so for yourself it is slightly different.

With that being said, the best way to get passed the limit, is to have multiple accounts. That way you can use one account to build and upload your bases, while the other account can then always see them. The account that has the bases, can then use multiple saves of 16k to be used for base building being visible to your 'alt'

I tried uploading base and then deleting it from save with saveeditor, but that didn't work

fallow meadow

#

aaaaaaa. so its account problem

#

account is the key here

fallow meadow
#

Of course, using a different account, you do not have all permissions and you can possibly not be online with both accounts at the same time. So the other account will basically be a 'visitor', but can at leasat see those bases.

pearl finch
#

I wonder if creating steam account then sharing my nms via family sharing will do the trick... I could mess with saves a bit too to transfer all "finished" bases there

fallow meadow
#

So one account to build and upload, another account to 'see' those bases

fallow meadow
#

From what I recall with some things reported by users in the past, I believe it is still the same account.

#

You could try of course

pearl finch
fallow meadow
#

Both bases would get uploaded and both may be visible

#

Some are using that mechanic to be able to make a base that has more than 3k parts

pearl finch
#

even if they would interject eachother?

#

ok

#

what about deleting base - will it also delete it from server?

fallow meadow
#

Yes, but it is not advised, especially if not intended. It can also cause issues and there are also render limitations for your direct surrounding. It is very likely that some base parts will no longer show for performance reasons

fallow meadow
hearty wasp
#

not how it works

#

just make your friends install the mods too

fallow meadow

@pearl finch We should probably move to the #nms-questions , because we are no longer on topic for modding

anyone tried terrain mods? I'm thinking about adding Better Planet Generation but I'm not sure what it will do to all my bases and hotspots.

fresh arch
#

Bases can end up underground

#

All terrain will be affected, game won't have pity on the tiny amount of land you've claimed

#

There is a BPG Lite version that does not change the terrain generation

pearl finch
#

so if I go with full version I might as well set multiplayer to off

#

hmm hard choice, especially now that I have settlement

pearl finch
#

is there any mod that will show me how high I currently am?

pearl finch
#

can mods like BPG break my save when update drops or in worst case my bases will be underground?

steel crypt
#

Mods will not break your save. If you use a terrain mod, it will not affect your bases. It WILL affect the terrain where your base is. Meaning your base height will be different relative to the terrain. Also meaning if you remove a terrain mod, all will be like it was before you installed it.

pearl finch
steel crypt
#

I don't know how to answer that. Any time you change terrain, you technically change the size of the planet.

#

There isn't a mod that makes all planets smaller, if that's what you're asking.

pearl finch
#

what I'm worried is that after I turn all my bases into low orbit, when I add that mod they will end up being in space (with bpg planet got smaller), or when I remove that mod new bases built with it will be in space (bpg made planet bigger, but after removing it planet got smaller again)

steel crypt
#

It will not change where the line between space and atmosphere is.

vale iron
#

Something I've never considered: the render limit for base parts is based on terrain height (1000u above), not on sea level or atmosphere height. So terrain generation changes could inadvertently push a base onto the no-render area

pearl finch
#

When I added BPG and some of my bases went underground I could teleport to them, and what I saw below was something like a hard surface from which projectiles bounced off. It would make sense for atmosphere line to be based from that "core" of the planet rather than current terrain. Terrain level changes even due to HG updates

vale iron
#

What you're describing is the bedrock, which also changes around the planet. There's then a variable level of deformable terrain laid on top of the bedrock. The sea level and atmosphere level are fixed distances from the core. The render limit is definitely 1000u above terrain, based on my own and others' testing. I don't know if it's the bedrock or deformable terrain, but one of the two

#

The build menu limit is fixed, 2000u above sea level

steel crypt
#

Terrain in NMS is built from the outside in. Not from the inside out.
There is essentially a big cube (outside the visible planet) from which all terrain, sea level etc. is transformed from points on the cube.

vale iron
#

You know far more about terrain gen than I do, for sure, but isn't it still true that the bedrock is a variable distance from the core, there is a variable amount of deformable terrain on top of the bedrock, and the atmosphere and sea levels are a fixed distance from the core?

How do inventory stack size mods work when they are removed? What happens to the items that are in a stack size larger than possible in vanilla?

hearty wasp
#

When they are removed

#

They don't work anymore

#

As in like the old limit comes back

onyx jacinth
#

Right, so are the excess items in a stack just deleted or separated into however many stack necessary

hearty wasp
#

The old limit simply applies

#

So the former

#

The game never did inventory management for you

#

And not in this case either

onyx jacinth
#

Hmm, I may hold off on using that type of mod then. I don't want a good chunk of items to be deleted if the mod breaks with an update. Thanks for the help though

vivid marten
#

im assume ur game experience will mess up for nexus mission with others if u using terrain related mod as such better planet generation.
am i correct ?

fresh arch
#

BPG only affects the terrain generation of the player who has the mod installed

#

Remember, planets are procedurally generated locally, on your machine

#

Game does not send your "terrain data" to other players, they have their own carbon copies of the planet to walk on

#

But it does send your player character stats, so if you're walking up a hill that exists in your game, that elevation value will be send to other players, making you appear floating in air on their end

vivid marten
#

so better dont install terrain related mod if u wanna play with console player ?
what about base ? if i install BPG, go to console player base, their base will mess up on my eyes rite ?

fresh arch

I think so

#

Hi idk if its asked here but can you get more storage slots? (cube box)

No, storage units have a fixed amount of slots

We can't add new entries to save data to account for the new slots and items in them

what about the stack can we increase it?

I think so? There are some mods for increasing the stack sizes, never tried them so I can't tell whether they affect the storage units

has anyone ever made a mod that adds ship parts to the pool of ship parts? I'd like to make a mod that adds variety in this way but I'm not sure how it works / how ships are generated

heavy merlin
#

Doing that with regular ships would make all existing ships of that type become different... And parts aren't really separate things, so you can't easily put a figher part on a hauler or something, each model has all the parts, with only certain ones made visible

solid hawk
#

Yep, you'd need to integrate new parts into both the existing scene/geometry files and then also add into the DESCRIPTOR file for ProcGen. Nothing with animation would really be possible.

solid hawk
#

Be aware, scaling (resizing) components breaks snapping, so you'd be free placing everything.

simple oracle
#

thx

solid hawk
#

No problem sir. 🙂

bright musk
#

Interesting. Has anyone documented how the ship generation works? I've noticed that even the vanilla animations are kind of b0rked, so I'm not too worried about that

#

If I had to generate a ton of data files I would honestly not be opposed to it, I need a project and I want to make this game weird again. Feels like I'm looking at the same 20 ships everywhere i go

#

And like... half of them are DOA for me. Especially those explorers where the thruster is at a different angle than the trail 😭

hearty wasp
#

But at the surface level you just need to know it's a selection tree where the game selects a branch and go down from parent to child nodes

bright musk
#

thanks! I'm not afraid of having to drink from a waterfall here, any docs, diagrams, or blog posts would be super helpful. Google has been kind of crapified lately
