That's a part of a bigger mod Im working on

Centered around adding custom starship technology modules

I prefer the darker space environment

#

Makes it more immersive

#

And feel more like space

#

Dark space is not a part of my mod lol

#

This image showcases something enitrely else

#

Space would be visible in the 3rd person view as well, there is a reason why I made a screenshot of 1st person view

No, for NMS we recommend installing manually

are there mods that add content like more tech items. mt or ship types or missions?

fresh arch
#

Tech items - yeah for example Custom Mods Galore

#

Items - I got Music Player Madness for example

#

MT or ship models - hardly

#

There are mods like Ships of Moar or gShip Custom Ships that are replacers for specific models

#

Missions - Only a couple but dont expect full on new story line

#

Would this be the place to ask if I had questions about diving into the game files? Or is this channel exclusively for modding?

marsh eagle

#

While we have a lot of Discovery Menu phrases linked to their corresponding Analysis Scan details, there are quite a few that still haven't been properly corellated

#

And I was wondering if it would be possible to access the files in the game where all these statements are stored?

#

The alternative would be to manually go through thousands of analysis scans and discovery menu images on fauna pages, which would take a significant amount of time and effort

heavy merlin
#

Unpacking the game files and decompiling the language files should get you all the text easily enough

desert forge
#

Would the code be able to show which phrases are linked to which Analysis Scan words?

#

Or would everything be stored in separate files, with a controller file containing the code that links them?

heavy merlin
#

Depends how they're arranged, if they're numbered and the numbers are the same between the two sets of things, then yes

desert forge
#

I'll have to look into this later when I have the time to decompile everything, but this is a start

#

Thanks for the help

#

What language should I expect the files to be in?

heavy merlin
#

Uh, English? But XML once you've converted them

desert forge
#

Ah, I was under the assumption a lot of the game's logic was in C++?

heavy merlin
#

The game code may be, but that is just in the exe and not the data files

heavy merlin
#

UI_CREA_DESC_PLAYERPRED8_1 A dangerous predator, their fast-response adrenal glands allow them to go from rest to rage in mere moments. that's the kind of thing you want I guess

desert forge
#

That and the analysis scan behavior/diet word that it's linked to

#

For example, if the creature behavior in the Analysis Scan is "nomadic", then these are the possible phrases that can appear in the Discovery Menu entry:

heavy merlin
#

Ah

#

UI_CREA_DESC_PASSIVE2_3 Always on the move, these nomadic grazers search far and wide for the perfect grazing sites.

desert forge
#

Does looking for the word Nomadic bring up anything?

heavy merlin
#

Hmm, no, but I'm looking at files from a very old version now

#

Oops, duh, nevermind. TEMPERAMENT_PASSIVE2 Nomadic

So, uhhh, we may get to custom colour Staffs eventually - there's definitions for 5 colours from every basecolourpalette contained within the JSON for each Staff, and the same in CharacterCustomization MT slot savedata now....
<S Class Staffs all use 0x1 model seed, which explains why they always have identical stats when upgraded to S; Natural S Class duplicates the cabinet seed to use as model seed.
The other 2 parts have no effect on stats/colours because they're applied as descriptors the same way fauna parts are when eggs are resequenced for mutation.

Idk if it's the right channel to ask... But I kinda need some guidance. I have a sandworm, I fed it everything I could to make it bigger.
Then, I learned how to (BASIC) use save editor and made it bigger, but it keeps the default size on the anomaly. Is there a specific script in the JSON to make it look bigger in the anomaly or is that something too complicated for simple steps?

vale iron
#

There is a max size setting for pets in the anomaly. You can't get past it with save editing

solid hawk
#

Because it would be incredibly annoying to others. ๐Ÿ™‚

round tulip
vale iron
#

It's possible, just not with save editing. Since it can be used to harass others, I don't tell people how to do it

#

I've reported it to HG, but they never fixed it

round tulip
#

Usually everyone is so nice. Silent as they come but not like super annoying or toxic

vale iron
#

It wouldn't be difficult to resize your pet so big that it covers the entire Nexus and messes up people's ability to play

round tulip
vale iron
#

They need to just hide or disable the thing that lets people do it. It's not difficult for them!

round tulip
vale iron
#

hah, yeah

#

I think they allow pets to get a bit too big in just the sequencer

Thanks @waxen cedar once again for your color code research. Using it now in a mod and wanted to thank you ๐Ÿ™‚

#

Welcome!

#

What kinda mod are you working on? ๐Ÿ‘€

vale iron
#

I'm unifying all my custom jetpack trails into one mod that works together through the quicksilver vendor, so people don't have to swap them out to try different colors.

#

I'm going to do starship trails and freighter trails next

#

The first one should be out in a few days. The other two maybe next weekend?

solid hawk
#

Jetpack Trails is the guinea pig. ๐Ÿ™‚

vale iron
#

The others should actually be easier, since they are installable tech instead of customisation items

of course, I say that now...

1st link

misty mica
#

Wait what- you dont need a 3rd party mod launcher? Just put the mods there and remove the txt?

fresh arch
#

Correct, no need to use any mod manager like Vortex

#

In easiest case it's literally 5 steps: Download mod package, unzip it, copy, paste, delete that text file

#

And you're off to the races

#

Just member to use mods that were updated or released for the current version of the game

misty mica
#

Is any "main" mod needed to use? Since for some games is needed like a mod framework that allows other mods to work

fresh arch
#

Not that I know of, most of the mods are stand alone pieces of work

misty mica
#

If you just can help, could you recommend mods that;

  1. Allow non-scaleable building parts scaling
  2. Allow better rotating and snapping with building parts
  3. Inventory mod that makes more slots fit on a smaller area on screen
#

I'd keep it anyway minimalistic and just need those at least for starters

fresh arch
#

Sadly I don't really know any base building mods, maybe @solid hawk will be able to recommend something

#

As for #3, there aren't many UI mods because anything related to UI is helluva complicated

misty mica
#

Alright, its not necessary anyway

cloud patrol
#

I canโ€™t trust myself to mod this game. I always go so overboard

misty mica
#

Yeah thats why I'd like to play mostly vanilla but with a couple mods that help in building

vale iron
#

gBase, ubb, eucliea, bbb, kibbles

misty mica
#

The game is otherwise perfect for me

vale iron
#

All base building mods

misty mica
#

i assume all are in nexusmods?

fresh arch
#

Sorry should have clarified: I know some base building mods, I dont know which one would have the features you request

vale iron
#

Yes

#

Scaling, gBase and I think bbb have

misty mica
#

Alright! What type of building features generally exist when it comes to mods that do not add new building parts

vale iron
#

Being able to place items where you normally wouldn't, scaling, extending base perimeters

misty mica
#

is there advanced snapping options?

vale iron
#

But snap points don't scale with scaled items. Big problem with no solution

misty mica
#

oh okay

#

what about snapping non scaled items? is there a mod that allows for example 2 barricades to be snapped together

vale iron
#

Try snappy industry maybe

misty mica
#

How do planet generation mods even work since its multiplayer?

vale iron
#

You'll see different things than people without mods. It can be a bit confusing

fresh arch
#

All procedural generation is done locally on your machine

#

If you install a mod affecting terrain, only you will see the changes, the game doesn't send "terrain data" to sync with other players

misty mica
#

Okay, so thats a no go since I want the game to look same as for others

fresh arch
#

However it sends data like your position on the planet, so when you start to climb a hill that exists only in your game, you'll be walking in the air for others

misty mica
#

hey look who I found here hahah

image.png
#

What about those building mods that I was talking about, people can still see like those things normally that Ive built with mods like scaled and snapped and rotated with mods

solid hawk
#

As long as it's a vanilla base build item, yes they should be able to see

misty mica
#

even if they are objects that are normally not scaleable and have been scaled?

solid hawk
#

Yes, that's just a boolean parameter, which most vanilla objects have set to true. It isn't anything fancy or weird being set by those mods, just a false to true for allowing scaling.

#

Now, adding new objects to the base build menu, that don't exist in vanilla, would require having the mod installed to see.

#

Because that would entail data in the base building game files that wouldn't be there in vanilla

misty mica
#

which mod would you recommend to be able to scale unscaleable objects, do advanced snapping and rotating?
is there like 1 good mod that does all?

solid hawk
#

Scaling, as mentioned, there's gbase, Beyond Base Building (disabled by default, need to edit the lua script to enable, then run through AMUMSS to generate custom mod .pak), and the Unlimited Base Building variant of Ultra Base Building. Snapping there's Snappy Industry and Snappy Modules. These just add snap points to objects that don't have them by default. "advanced" snapping, only one I can think of is https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1718. I do not know if this still works or not and definately would need to have the Lua run through AMUMSS to generate an updated .pak.

#

Disclaimer, several of the mods mentioned are mine.

#

Probably the most popular build customization mod is Beyond Base Building

misty mica
hearty wasp
#

as long as they are vanilla objects they always will be

misty mica
#

but this? so all scaled objects revert back if the builder doesnt have the mod anymore?

image.png
solid hawk
#

Not sure. In this case, as the scaled size is already written into the save, MIGHT retain it, but in that case wouldn't be able to re-scale those objects.

hearty wasp
solid hawk
#

All of the mods are free, so give one or more a shot and see if they work for you or not. ๐Ÿ™‚

#

Be aware, most of the mods already mentioned, and other base build mods, make changes to the same game files, so would need to combine/merge using Lua scripts and AMUMSS for more than one to work at a time.

# glad sapphire Do I need to launch the game from xbox to be able to move my save file to steam?

To convert your save, you can use the save editor called NomNom, for which you can find a link in the pins. If you have your Xbox save on console, you will need to have it cloud sync to PC (Game Pass), so the editor has access to the files. You can follow instructions in NomNom to select your Xbox save location and Steam save location, together with a some user data for both platforms to be able to transfer.

glad sapphire
#

downloading it on nexus was a mistake wasn't it? I can't find the executable

fallow meadow
#

Are you downloading NomNom?

glad sapphire
#

nvm I found it mb

fallow meadow
#

On Nexus Mods, all downloads will be .zip archives, which you have to extract first

glad sapphire
fallow meadow
#

Ok. You should be good then, but do not hesitate to ask for further assistance

#

I would certainly make sure to backup your save files first. Not required for the tool to locate your saves though.

Yes, you copy all your saves to be put elsewhere, as a backup, before using the save editor.
The image you are showing does not tell me much at all, but it appears this is not using the Transfer option. You need access to the saves on your PC for both platforms. At the top, you click 'Edit' and select 'Save Transfer', to then follow instructions.

#

@unreal hatch What exactly have you done to try get the expedition rewards?

unreal hatch
#

I followed the instructions here

#

type %appdata% in the search bar right to your Windows icon and hit enter.

Navigate through the following folders:

  • HelloGames

  • NMS

  • st_(your numbers)

now open the file called accountdata.hg with your favorite text editor and use ctrl+F to search for "d4U":[] . If you have already completed some expeditions but not all, search for just d4U.

#

Then within the brackets, I changed into the listed data

#

But when I opened the game, and went back to the file, it had reverted back

#

I finished this expedition, just to not "cheat" all of it.

fallow meadow
#

I would suggest to not edit the files directly, but instead use a tool made for editing save data

unreal hatch
#

Oh?

fallow meadow
#

Editing directly is prone to errors, especially if the files are compressed

unreal hatch
#

I see

#

any particular editor you recommend?

fallow meadow
#

You can choose between NMSSE or NomNom, both work perfectly fine.

#

You can find links in the pins.

unreal hatch
#

hm

#

Im having trouble with the install

#

it says to run the jar file, but that just opens my text document

fallow meadow
#

Ok, so you chose NMSSE. Can you show the contents of your install?

unreal hatch
#

I had to install java for it to work

#

Im not in the window, and need to locate my saves for nms

#

Not sure where those are though

fallow meadow
#

If you installed Java 8, 64-bit, you are golden

#

You are on Steam, right?

unreal hatch
#

I think I managed to do it

#

Give me a second to check

fallow meadow
#

In most cases it will auto-detect the save path on Steam.
Save Slot can then be chosen with the dropdown, which will always pick the 'latest' save

unreal hatch
#

Yeah it worked

#

Thanks for your help ๐Ÿ™‚

fallow meadow
#

However, for adding account wide rewards, you will not edit your save slot, but instead have to select the Account tab

#

@unreal hatch Remember this, always use the Account tab for account wide changes. It can be done save side too, but gets more complicated and will often result in users failing to get the rewards. So select the Account tab, select your rewards by clicking the checkboxes. Only for Twitch rewards you have to disconnect internet.

#

Once done, make sure it saved, then visit the Anomaly QS shop to get those rewards

unreal hatch
#

@fallow meadow appreciate it ๐Ÿ‘

#

For expedition rewards that would be:

  • PlayerStateData > KnownSpecials
  • PlayerStateData > RedeemedSeasonRewards.
    I'll have the bot link an image with all Expedition rewards listed with IDs.
    Make sure you have a backup, then remove the IDs for the rewards having the issue from both lists. Then try again. Note that this is removing from the Save, not the Account, using the Raw JSON editor. The account should be fine if the rewards show checked.

Just wondering so if I were to add mods for quality of life then remove them would it be nessesary to make a back up save or would it be fine to remove them then just continue on after they are not needed? or would i have to do some other steps so that the game doesnt break. (never modded nms so id rather play safe)

fresh arch
#

Most of the mods do not affect save data

#

If it isn't stated that the mod introduced new technology modules, new items or anything not obtainable / present in vanilla game by other means, then it should be safe

Hey, Iโ€™ve got an idea

#

How about a group of us with this mod

IMG_5276.png
#

We can all see the planets and see the same stuff since we all have the mod and each otherโ€™s bilds will actually be available

Itโ€™ll like be similar to the base game, but with better planets

#

And we can like all do stuff together

heady hatch
#

Thanks though โ˜บ๏ธ

fresh arch
#

Define "poorly optimized" in a world where every planet, starship, NPC you come across are procedurally generated

#

Unless you want to do some modeling yourself and turn all planets into fixed maps that can be loaded at once - go ahead

green prairie
#

but it is tho

#

and with every new update it gets worse

#

game went from just fine on 4.0 to stuttering and frame drop randomly since the past 3 or 4 major updates

heady hatch
#

It seems like culling and better rendering before you leave for space would be helpful

#

My game consistently stops for about a second when leaving the atmosphere

fresh arch
#

So does everyone's else

heady hatch
#

Exactly it needs to be fixed

fresh arch
#

Because game loads assets for space related stuff at this moment

heady hatch
#

Maybe pre render stuff so that doesn't happen

fresh arch
#

Instead of stopping multiple times to load assets for stuff as it goes

heady hatch
#

It worked fine on PlayStation but on PC it doesn't really work

#

So its definitely optimization problem

#

I play on the lowest graphics too ๐Ÿ˜ญ

fresh arch
#

For me it was Waypoint that introduced performance hit, where I was able to run on Ultra (minus textures) before it

green prairie
#

4.1 was then it started to get worse, but was still playable

fresh arch
#

Then since Waypoint I had to drop a preset down

green prairie
#

4.2 (if it was the sentinel ship update, don't remember) was then it started to stutter and framedrop every couple seconds

fresh arch
#

On both PC and Steam Deck

green prairie
#

I never tried to install a mod that removes all the fauna from the planet to see if the stutter happen

#

if it stops then the issue is with the ugly animals

# olive quest I mean a group of us We can talk via discord and stuff

This channel I think is more for people to get help or information on installing, using, or making mods. I don't think you'd get much traction trying to find people that use particular mods in this channel. The main channel probably moves too quickly. The LFG channel doesn't usually get a lot of attention. You might get the best results making a reddit post?

#

how do i activate a mod after i palced it inside my mods folder

vale iron
#

All you have to do is delete the DISABLEMODS.TXT file and put the PAK in your PCBANKS\MODS folder

#

nothing else is necessary

#

@primal breach

primal breach
#

alr

#

so i have an issue with the download

#

i found an downloadable base

#

a freighter base

#

its a rar file

vale iron
#

Ok, that's not going to be a mod. That's a save file edit

primal breach
#

how do i do that

vale iron
#

You need to use a tool for that. What's the extension of the file inside the RAR? I'm not very knowledgeable on this, but I'll try to help

#

RAR is like a ZIP file, just FYI

primal breach
#

text

vale iron
#

a TXT file?

primal breach
#

its a .RAR file

vale iron
#

Looks like you tried to open a RAR file in text editor. RAR is a compressed file. You need to use a tool to decompress it

#

WinRAR, 7Zip

primal breach
#

what tool do i use

vale iron
#

7Zip is what I use

primal breach
#

alr i downloaded 7Zip

#

the RAR file

#

how do i decompress it

vale iron
#

Did you install 7zip? I see an application there

primal breach
#

i did

#

what do i do now

fresh arch
#

Right click on the RAR file and pick the option to extract it

vale iron
#

If you installed the 7zip download it should have turned the RAR file icons to a 7z icon

fresh arch
#

Also might wanna remove the association for RAR files to be opened in notepad

#

Not if they opened in notepad first and selected "always use this app to open this file type" checkbox

vale iron
#

Oh, I figured the 7zip install would have overridden that

primal breach
vale iron
#

Maybe they didn't choose to associate the file type

#

#

#

What mod conflict or other problem could cause my character to disappear when I teleport onto one of my frigates? Sometimes I have to restart to fix it.

hearty wasp

could just be a vanilla thing

#

but remove anything that's related to the player character and try then

fresh arch
#

It can be a vanilla thing

#

Normally when you approach a frigate, you get hailed by a captain and you can do stuff

#

Like initiate a scan or collect items

#

When that starship comms scene plays out, your character model goes invisible

#

Game forces the same scene to play out when you teleport to a frigate

#

But doesn't know you're not in ship

I think the cutoff for maneuverability is around 65. Much higher than this and your ship will spin like a top.

night adder
#

@solid hawk It's dependent on Core Maneuverability, the lower that is, the higher the threshold for overall Maneuverability

mild forge
#

@solid hawk @hearty wasp Ah, that's right. I think I set it way too high earlier while "creating" my ship in the save editor. But isn't around 3,000 something a good mobility?

#

@night adder Mine's 11105 ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

#

3000 is where you start having issues on Fighters/Exotics/Solars/Explorers. I dont think Ive ever encountered it at 2900

Is save editing looked down upon? (Genuine question)

hearty wasp
swift turtle
#

Hello all! Is the right channel to discuss the NomNom editor?

fresh arch
#

Yeah modding, save editing, anything outside of vanilla game capabilities

swift turtle
#

For years I played on PC and Xbox cloud saves, about a year ago used NomNom to switch to steam, about a 4 days ago I decided to rebuild one of my bases, so I deleted the base, collect all my peice from the base machine (I forgot the exact name) and I rebuild my new bas from the ground up. I play daily, and everything has bee working really nicely with my new base. And then today, 3 days after rebuilding my base. My old base reappeared! I build my new base in the same exact area as my old base. So now my old base is overlapping my new base and there are some solid walls that obstruct my movement as though I have base-trolled myself. The funny part is the fact that my old base which reappeared is an old version of my old base, it looks like how it looked about a year ago when I first switched to steam. No there are 2 base computers in this location. My new base computer which I own and have access to and my old base computer which shows me a guest and it appears with my old Xbox name and the game treats the base as if it was made by another player.

#

Long story short: how the heck do I fix the mess.

hearty wasp
#

just report your old base in game

swift turtle
hearty wasp
#

yeah that's serverside

#

get more people to report it and it'll hopefully disappear for more people

swift turtle
hearty wasp
#

if you want both bases I guess you can export your PC base and replace another existing one with it in NMSSE

swift turtle
#

Can i ask another question: the two bases overlapped at present causes some challenges, but I think if I am clever enough, I can edit my new current base to make the overlapping bases seem intentional, because as it is now, the bases together look like some super-massive building complex. Would this be a worthwhile method of salvaging both bases?

hearty wasp
#

if you can build in your base sure

swift turtle
# hearty wasp if you can build in your base sure

Yes my new base remains totally and fully editable. So, then I might try this then. It will look a bit funky, but luckily this doubles the resource extraction, albeit they are on two seperate storage networks.

swift turtle
#

Wooaaah okay this is more confusing than I thought. I just closed the game and reopened the game and the old base is completed gone again.

#

I feel tempted to ask for help to to test this. Would anyone by willing to visit my base to see how it appears?

autumn stump
#

so, after coming back to play the game, i was playing unmodded for a bit then decided to grab some mods, but now it wants to load an old mod that i had when i played before that is now gone (Sci-Fi Fantasy, i'd had it on my desktop but have now since deleted it), attempting to redownload the game to see if that fixes it (since deleting all the mods didn't seem to work).
Anyone have any idea what happened/how to fix if this reinstall doesn't work? x.x

hearty wasp
#

don't use old mods

#

after that flush your system

#

verify your game integrity on steam

autumn stump
#

it just decided to do it, the mod in question wasn't even in the requisite folder

hearty wasp
#

then maybe it's not mod related

autumn stump
#

i think it definitely is, the mod in question had it's own landing page thing when you opened the game

#

and that's what was coming up before it just wouldn't load further

#

and this only happened after i got the new mods after playing unmodded

hearty wasp
#

can you provide a screenshot of said "landing page"

#

and then a screenshot of MODS folder

autumn stump
#

well, i uninstalled the game and am currently reinstalling

hearty wasp
#

cool then come back after trying

#

if you've already skipped to one of the most fool-proof solutions right away there really ain't a need to ask for a less intrusive solution lol

autumn stump
#

but as for the "landing page" google at least has me covered lol

maxresdefault.jpg
hearty wasp
#

does it look like that full screen

autumn stump
#

yes

hearty wasp
#

then you had the mod installed still

#

unless the mod literally was installed unpacked

#

which no one releases like that afaik

autumn stump
#

i realized it still existed on my desktop, and deleted it

#

and it still kept loading like that

#

which is why i'm perplexed lol

#

cuz i did think well, maybe it's got weird interactions or whatever happening

hearty wasp
#

mods don't load from your desktop

#

they're loaded from MODS folder

autumn stump
#

again, this is why i was confused lol

hearty wasp
#

it's irrelevant now since you're reinstalling the game but the evidence you've given is pointing to you having the mod installed before then

hearty wasp
#

we can handle that after your game reinstall intself

autumn stump
#

i know how it works

#

is the thing

autumn stump
#

crisis has been averted ๐Ÿ™‚

#

Hello All! Again. Can I borrow anyone's time tomorrow to help me play-test my base. Because the problem of my old base overlapping my new base has returned. And this time, I am unable to edit my new base (I was able to edit my new base before). And this is driving me crazy.

#

Can I share the coordinates for my base and you allow me the know if you see two bases overlapping? Klorofill was my xbox game save (old from like 1-2 years ago) and Rilkujen88 or Klorofillium is my new Steam game save created after using NomNom.

Have a question, how hard is it to change the snapping points of building parts?

hearty wasp
#

depends on your knowledge of the scene data structure

#

and your intuition in interpreting 3D space, I guess

night plover
#

So kind of complex depending on what you understand about it

hearty wasp
#

it's still complex once you understand the scene data structure

#

but at least you can begin to more easily understand how snappoints work

#

not that there haven't been people who tried doing it blind

night plover
#

I think it will be easier hoping that the mod i use currently might get updated with something i want

fresh arch
#

Well, doesnt hurt to ask the mod author on Nexus if they could consider adding X or Y

#

Or you can take the matters in your hands and create what you need yourself

#

Making mods is mostly throwing copy pasted shit at a wall till it sticks

#

Making adjustments, building again, checking in game, rinse repeat descent into madness

He everybody, I heard there is a way to get a dragon or eagle like pet through modding. Can anybody help me?

solid hawk

This does not just give you the pets. Adds the E interaction pet menu to creatures that don't have it in vanilla.

#

Also increased the range from which that will work, BUT that range is not infinite. Still have to get close enough that the E will show up.

Thank you.

Alternately, you can go asking around for save modified eggs to be imported through a save editor.

Hi, I added a QUAD EGG to my exosuit cargo. I also have a timer mod in my MOD folder. How do I get it to hatch? It isn't detected in the Egg Sequenisor.

#

but it say's it's ready to hatch but when i hold E to hatch it say's it's still growing. What do I do? I tried it on a sentinal planet with the shards etc.

#

I tried asking about this in the #help channel but they told me to come here.

night adder
#

@little shadow Does the icon look like a Quad, or a featureless egg? The former is an item used by the game's back end and cannot actually be used in game by players, aside from trashing it or selling for pennies.

@lime mesa modding in NMS is very limited. We do not have access to any actual game code, that is variables, functions, logic, etc - all that is hardcoded in the game's executable

#

What we have access to is files that hold tables of parameters for those classes

lime mesa
fresh arch
#

Modding in NMS boils down to taking a file you're interested in, making changes to individual values and recompiling them back into format that can be read by the game

#

There is no run-time scripting, no frameworks, no declaring brand new stuff out of thin air

#

We just tweak existing values or combine existing elements in a new way

lime mesa
#

Is NMS Unity engine or something else that supports proc gen? How is PC version compiled? I can spot a C++ game from a WPF renderer any day.

night adder
#

Afaik, it uses a customized Unity engine

fresh arch
#

Not entirely sure, my guess is all custom baked

#

But I've heard some rumors of it being based of Unity

lime mesa
#

lol @ Software

fresh arch
#

But I dont have the means to confirm it

lime mesa
fresh arch
#

The closest I can tell you on your original question on how stuff works is that we know the structures the game uses

#

That is what makes missions in game make player to visit a specific location

lime mesa

#

So for example I can take such an existing object, change a couple parameters and have it point to a new structure for players to find

lime mesa

Sorry C#

I dont even know what WPF is lol

I'm going into the code

#

@lime mesa The user-made toolkits use .net or java - that doesnt indicate what the game actually runs on lol

fresh arch
#

I dont know and I will not even pretend to know

#

Yeah that I was making that remark before

#

We know the format the game stores it's data / parameters in

#

Doesnt mean we know exactly what progamming language the game's exe is coded in

#

Same way as save editors are based on Java or .NET

NMS is a custom engine. It might be based on Unity, I don't know about that, but their codename for it is Skyscraper

#

Looks like the Unity rumor came from people jumping to conclusions in 2016 based on NMS having some of the same limitations that some Unity developers had seen. Pretty flimsy, IMO, but still possible. Definitely not proof, though. I'll keep looking.

#

Yeah, doesn't look like Skyscraper is based on Unity at all. Just a false rumor based on E3 demo.

#

@lime mesa If you want to know how the game is built, it's probably best to talk to MonkeyMan and/or Mjstral, as I think they probably know more about it than anyone else outside HG. Though they are quite busy individuals and I wouldn't recommend pinging them. You can ask in their respective home servers and they will answer if they have time.

#

Or you can decompile the EXE and start going through it that way. I think what you're looking at is the MBIN Compiler code, which is not the game code.

hello, ive been playing off and on unmodded for a few years, ps and now pc, i was thinking of installing some mods, not sure if its okay to name the site, but i use a mod manager and thinking about using a highly endorsed collection, anyone have experience with that.. is modding worth it after the new update or is vanilla the more stable experience. i kind of want to go after that lag after leaving a planet

solid hawk
#

Unless outdated, mods don't affect the stability of the game in increments. Outdated ones will cause the game to crash, updated ones will not.

#

The mods I use to play with are a carefully curated selection, based on exactly what I like to see changed in-game, so I don't use collections. To me, mods are highly subjective. I want to play the game how it suits me, not how someone else belivees it should be. Same reason I don't play with overhauls. ๐Ÿ™‚

Spend some time in vanilla, if you haven't already. See what annoys you. That will tell you what to look for in mods. Want more Sky or water colors, got you covered. Run too slow, you're golden. Sean's head on...everything...you can do that. haha

Just a matter of what you want and how you want to play the game.

With NMS mods are, for the most part, local, so not too much for them to care about.

Unless using the effects of a mod to grief. Then they care a lot.

The whole game is pretty much local. There's no competition, so no need for them to worry about modding. The only time they need to worry is when mods interfere with others' enjoyment of the game

Alright, I had enough frustration from glitch base building, is there any any-resize any-rotate mod? Is it safe?

round sinew

it's safe afaik

#

afaik a "scale/rotate+add the ability to do so to any other parts" mod wouldn't have any negatives, besides some things perhaps not working as expected anymore - scaled too big, or scaled too small perhaps loosing power snap points or something

night adder
#

@unreal gale Aside from snapping with overscaled objects, there are no downsides - gBase actually comes as a pack of .pak files as well, variants that include/exclude various parts of whats available, so you can choose the version that suits you best - am guessing youre just wanting the scale+rotate fully unlocked, plus build illegal parts wherever (freighter parts onplanet and vice versa)

Beyond that point, you're best off using Lua scripts with Mods in AMUMSS and updating them on your own.

#

You really don't find lists of must have mods with NMS, like you do with some other games, as if a mod isn't updated frequently, it's considered abandoned and will, most likely, begin crashing the game. The list of mods that are updated, as needed, long term, is relatively short (only the first 12 pages above). There are exceptions to the frequent update "rule", pure TEXTURE mods and to a limited extent, model replacements.

So, the gbase items mod, if I just install gbase items basic from the choices of mods in its selection, that already has the freighter power mod built into it? because in the mod files there is also a separate mod file for freighter base power and im assuming this is here so that if you only wanted to add that and nothing else you can

if you're not using the eyepatch version we'd know where they are for certain

I think I found out why I cant find the folder, because I never installed the game

think there's a command that shits out the paths for saves but I forgor the command ๐Ÿ’€

theres a .bat file named install and I was playing off the game .exe

anyway the saves are likely not in the game folder anyway

round sage

C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\HelloGames\NMS\st_76561198192395314

there should be originally ( also maybe that st number will be different )

yeah check either that or your documents folder

I checked documents not there that folder I have but it doesnt show up in nomnom

hearty wasp
#

you can choose manually the path of your saves

#

in both NomNom and NMSSE

compact goblet
#

where

hearty wasp
#

file > open

#

at least it should detect your saves after the folder is selected

compact goblet
#

this is the steam save ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

hearty wasp
#

at this point you may wanna just go to the site where you got your eyepatch version from and see if they have a forum to ask about things like this

compact goblet
#

theres no forum just comments

#

I tried this:
"Here is the path for those who were looking for saves:
C:\Users"USERNAME"\AppData\Local\Packages\HelloGames.NoMansSky_bs190hzg1sesy\SystemAppData\wgs

In the wgs folder there is a folder (or several, if several Xbox profiles have been authorized - see the time the folder changed - this is the time you saved)
Select the folder and your saves in it"

#

and also this:
"For all of you who want to transfer your saved game from Steam to the one with the new version: Using a program called "NomNom" this program (save editor) can be found on the typical mods page. The save paths are; Steam (C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\HelloGames) UWP (C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Packages\HelloGames.NoMansSky_bs190hzg1sesy\SystemAppData\wgs) In both cases "Username" is your windows user."

#

nothing there but that might just be because I havent installed the game and was playing from the .exe

hearty wasp
#

I mean you can always boot up the game and see if your saves are still there

#

if they are then they exists somewhere

compact goblet

#

you may just wanna check your appdata/document folders again and see if there's a folder with the scene's name
