What platform are you playing on?

narrow dome
#

so umm, I think this is the best place to ask this but please do let me know if it isn't. I am currently digging through the save file (& checking it out with the NMSSaveEditor) and cannot figure out where it specifies which Monolith have been visited. There doesn't seem to be a section that lists all interactions with on planet structures, Do you guys have an idea where / how those are stored within the save file?

fallow meadow
#

Yes, this is possible. I would use the Raw JSON Editor for this. Should be possible in the general UI too by selecting Pirate for the Type in the Freighter tab. Still using Freighter and HomeSystem seeds like other freighters, but it references a different model.
ie.:

{
    "Filename":"MODELS/COMMON/SPACECRAFT/INDUSTRIAL/PIRATEFREIGHTER.SCENE.MBIN",
    "Seed":[
        true,
        "0xC8FC941DC891A54B"
    ],
    "AltId":"",
    "ProceduralTexture":{
        "Samplers":[]
    }
}
fallow meadow
#

If you insist though, I can give you somepointers

narrow dome
#

Is there a way to export the raw json?

fallow meadow
#

Let me first ask why you are actually looking for this, and what are you trying ot accomplish?

narrow dome
#

I have a save file from right before & after. so I can find the changes

fallow meadow
narrow dome

#

And with how you progressed, your goal is no longer possible?

#

I mean, can you achieve what you want doing it the intended way?

narrow dome
narrow dome
fallow meadow
#

Ok

#

I am asking to see how to best approach this

narrow dome
#

this is using the Glyph Exchange to get a specific multitool. which requires the specific monolith. Except it requires the quest for the correct multitool to show up

fallow meadow
#

What MT type is it you were after?

narrow dome
#

its exactly this. A Rifle

fallow meadow
#

Isn't that an Atlas tool though

#

Doesn't that require the other terminal to interact with, which appears only when you have done the other quest?

narrow dome
#

no? I am not too sure since I haven't been that active at these last 3 versions. All I know is that I needed to have completed the Autophage mission to get it

fallow meadow
#

Either way, I think it will be a whole lot easier just getting yourself that MT, instead of trying to undo whatever changes made, required to allow doing this the 'proper' way.

strange narwhal
#

What are the max stat values supported by the game for ships? I tried modding a ship for max maneuverability and the whole screen went wonky while activating the pulse drive

fallow meadow
#

@narrow dome Because the latter involves some expert save editing, and I am not even sure just removing the interaction is enough to have it trigger properly.

#

I suggest you go there and ask in the proper channels. You will have your MT in no-time

narrow dome
#

Thanks, I'll check it out

fallow meadow
#

@strange narwhal What value was it at before, and what value did you try?

strange narwhal
#

1000 lol

#

Wanted to see what the in game max could be

fallow meadow
#

And that is the Core value right?

strange narwhal
#

But trimmed it down to 750

#

Yup

fallow meadow
#

The max may be too high to function properly, even if legit

#

Ah ok, so you are already adjusting to find something that works?

#

Because the end result is also depending on other tech you may have there

strange narwhal
#

Yupp

fallow meadow
#

I am not able to find an actual set value for a max that works nicely. So I would indeed suggest to just try find the limit that works

strange narwhal
#

No worries, thanks anyway 🙂

Anyone know how to get the platform rewards via goat fungus?

Yes

#

Ah, they may not actually be possible, using the save editor. Some of the pre-order bonuses are only provided thorugh a different file located elsewhere

timber plaza
#

Darn

fallow meadow
#

@timber plaza Still easy though, as long as you know the item IDs

#

What platform are you on?

timber plaza
#

Xbox

#

With PC gamepass

fallow meadow
#

GamePass PC then?
In short:
Add them through the Account tab in a Save Editor (currently only NMSSE), then check the SETTINGS folder and look for GCUSERSETTINGSDATA.MXML to edit in a text editor.
You will have to add them as follows (ie. Switch exclusive):

    <Property name="UnlockedPlatformRewards">
        <Property name="UnlockedPlatformRewards" value="SW_PREORDER" />
        <Property name="UnlockedPlatformRewards" value="SW_PREORDER2" />
    </Property>

If other entries already exist, make sure to just add to the list using the proper IDs for the platform rewards you wish to add

#

I don't have a PC anymore and want to edit my save. I tried using a VM to no avail. Is there any other way or someone who would edit it? Thank you in advance.

hearty wasp
#

"don't have a PC" as in no mac either?

terse linden
#

No, I moved and it got "lost"

hearty wasp
#

just not sure what you're running VM on if that's the case

#

phone?

terse linden
#

It was a hosted server with access through an app.

hearty wasp
#

can the server run java?

#

if so NMSSE should run on it

terse linden
#

Yes, I was able to edit the save but gamepass would crash and not sync due to vulkan.

#

Would be a vulkan initialization error

hearty wasp
#

not sure a crash can be a save-related issue

#

haven't heard of one myself at least

#

what exactly did you edit?

terse linden
#

So it synced to download the save, but the game won't open. It crashes after the sync

hearty wasp
#

I'd say try to make sure both the save and the game are on the latest version first

#

and then check NMSSE is on latest as well

#

update changed save structure afterall

terse linden
#

Oh, it's not the save causing it. Nms won't open period. As soon as you try it gives an error for vulkan initialization

hearty wasp
#

ok so you're just trying to figure out why the game is crashing?

terse linden
#

Even before editing the save

hearty wasp
#

yeah I'm now just confused as to why you wouldn't wanna fix that first before going onto editing the save

terse linden
#

I've looked around and every thread is saying it's bc is a VM not having dedicated gpu. At least that's what I got out of it

hearty wasp
#

yeah but what's that have to do with you wanting to edit your save

#

either way if you're able to edit it on the VM then it should've already worked

terse linden
#

I play on xbox and was trying to use gamepass to get my save and upload it like I used to. don't have a computer so tried using a VM

#

But just gave up and was hoping someone knew something I didn't lol

hearty wasp
#

ok so you're trying to upload your save from the VM to then download onto your xbox

terse linden
#

Yes

hearty wasp
#

ok so you're trying to... give someone else access to your gamepass account?

#

cos that's basically the only way it'd work without using your machine orotherwise

#

like it's not a save editor issue

#

others doing the editing for you won't make a difference

terse linden
#

Yeah, I figured that would be the only way then.

hearty wasp
#

cool

#

you should rephrase your request to "can someone use my gamepass account to sync my saves for me" but yeah without a machine you can use that may be the only way

terse linden
#

Good call, my mistake. Thank you for the info!

lunar kraken
#

they killed player scaling in the update cant go tiny anymore, im trying to figure out what they done but not having much luck lol

#

any ideas?

#

It was a network syncing of a save file setting. I suppose they wisely turned off that synch

lunar kraken

ah thanks, dont know about wisley turning it off it was fun lol

# glass gate pc gamepass

To be honest, I would not bother swapping saves around. The way NMS lists them in-game to select from is ordered by 'last played' anyway. That behaviour will not change. If you insist though, the way I would go about this, is to basically swap the actual Save Data around. Changing file names around avoiding any checks, will likely not work, especially complicated being on MS Game Pass.

Here is what I would do:
First make a backup of all your saves (wgs folder) !!!
Be aware that each 'save slot' has 2 save files, auto and manual (restore point). Slot 1 would be save.hg (auto) and save2.hg (manual), slot 2 would be save3.hg (auto) and save 4.hg (manual), slot 3 is save5 (auto) and save6 (manual), etc. For the save slots you wish to swap, you will have to open a save editor (NMSSE currently works), and using the Raw JSON editor to copy the full save data for each of the 2 saves each slot has. Using the JSON editor together with a text editor, you can then make copies of the full save data for each save involved, and finally swap this full data around between saves for the slots you wish to swap, to get the result you are looking for. So for swapping 2 save slots, you will have to swap around full save data of 4 save files.

Note: Not recommended, but it may technically be possible to only swap a single save file full data (latest save) for each slot you wish to switch around, as it will become the latest upon saving with the save editor. After this you could then in-game force a fresh save for the auto or manual save that was not changed, to update to the new changed version on each slot.

In contrast to wiki entries that get unlocked on certain actions or stages in missions

"Exploring on Foot" should be unlocked by default
"The Terrain Manipulator" is rewarded during tutorial stage of the game
"Flying the Starship" is rewarded after you repair and fuel up Pulse Engine

"Vehicles" is rewarded once you get access to Space Anomaly and walk over 8000 units distance
"Exocraft Races" - I dont see how this could be unlocked

It kinda depends on your definition of "regurarly"

Recommende mods are those that address things you'd like to see fixed or changed. Stick with mods that are new or updated since 14 February. With the exception of TEXTURE only mods and some model replacement, anything older will most likely crash the game.

sleek plover
#

I get that. I guess are there any mods that really stick out or the game really just needs. i.e. RSO for factorio

solid hawk
#

Nothing absolutely necessary. With nms being open ended, different people play in certain ways. Some like to build bases, others exploration, or combat, or resource gathering and crafting. Some like things easier, others harder. Cheaty, QoL, environmental enhancements. So many different factors.

Go through the first few pages of that link I sent, back to the 14th. Will give you a good idea what there's is available and possible

Okay I was reading through old messages here & (sadly) found out that adding new functionality to the game is basically impossible

#

The Multiverse Framework is a GAME CHANGING, plug & play utility (similar to SKSE from Skyrim) which allows an alternate & more powerful form of game modding for No Man's Sky; through the use of modular .dll plugins capable of adding new programmed functionality to the game.

hearty wasp
#

that's basically a custom API

#

if you can develop specifically for it then it's possible

bright egret
#

What I originally wanted to do prior to any research was just add new filters to the warp map to make it less incomprehensible (until I learned that added new functionality normally is impossible)

hearty wasp
#

yeah you just need to learn how to work with his API specifically

#

and the programming language it uses but same can be said for scripting for AMUMSS/NMSMB

#

it's just more involved

#

again, it's technically possible

#

you just have to learn something that p much only one person knows how to develop for

#

because that guy also did the whole thing himself

bright egret
#

The list of Things I Want to Do Right Now is already 50 items long but it could be worth it

#

I can't explain the rush of adrenaline I felt when I found this API

if you wanna go for it go for it

#

prolly have to go to his server to ask anything about it tho

Uh, tbh, more player interaction.

#

The core issue with procederual is it's repeitive, that gets tedious. Having someway for players to meaningfully interact with each other would be cool.

#

I.e. Stores that players could setup to sell each other goods, random bonuses for helping players out.

#

Like, the thing i liked about early part of the expedition was there was a part of the universe that felt very alive, but you could easily breakoff if you wanted peace.

solid hawk
#

Goes well beyond what NMS modding is capable of. We can change values for existing properties. Can't add anything truely new or that requires new logic.

#

Kind of why I wanted you to look through those first few pages of mods. That's what NMS modding is capable of.

#

There are some APIs, that are in differing states of development, which might allow new functionality to be added, but none are at that state and most are being developed for one specific version of NMS, 4.13. Why 4.13? Because a PDB was accidentally leaked briefly for that version. Other versions, the inner workings of the exe are highly obfuscated.

#

Are there any mods that improve enemy ship ai in dogfights

#

so that they don't basically just cheat by rubberbanding and not following the laws of physics

#

NMS ship combat is weird to me because the AI basically cheat but it's still somehow super easy

sleek plover

That's frustrating, i would have thought being a single player game more or less it would be more or less deobfuscated

Also would you recommend Dud's Sky- Colours or Exosolar's color mods more

Hello, it's not really modding, but i'd like to edit SC slots on my mt, is it possible do to so by editing the save files ?

#

How do I proceed ? 🙂

#

Step 1) Get one of the save editors. Goatfungus or NomNom
Step 2) Run said save editor
Step 3) Select save you want to edit
Step 4) Make your SC changes
Step 5) Save changes

#

Both are GUI based and fairly intuitive, bringing up selections by right-clicking on an inventory slot. You can figure steps 4 out.

Too many people have a false sense of 'should' with this game. It's a non-competitive sandbox. However you enjoy playing the game is how it 'should' be.

So if you want a mod for something, get it

If a person/group of people are concerned about how you privately play a game then you should be concerned with the sanity of said people.

Quick question: I'm only wanting to use 1 mod for NMS, "Consumerism," (From Nexus Mods) do I need the AMUMSS for such limited modding?
I likely will not mod NMS for anything else as I only want to be able to go back and purchase the event/drop rewards I've lost since switching from Game Pass to Steam. NMS doesn't really fetch my curiosity for modding otherwise.

fresh arch
#

No, in best case scenario end-user of a mod does not need to dabble with AMUMSS

#

AMUMSS (and NMSMB) is a tool that allows users to build / compile mods from local game files based on a script written in LUA programming language

foggy perch
#

So it's for creating mods?

fresh arch
#

If the mod has been updated by the author to be compatible with latest game version (Consumerism is)

#

Or iif you don't want to make edits to the mod for personal use

#

Then you don't need to get AMUMSS

foggy perch
#

Oh gotcha. Okay...cool. I think once I've saved/racked up enough QS for the stuff I've lost I'll use Consumerism to get them bought back lol. I much rather do that than mess around with the save editor honestly.

fresh arch
#

Save editors are just another tool capable of doing the same job

#

Both methods require a minimal know-how of general software usage

foggy perch
#

Yeah, I'm aware, I just rather...not y'know? I still want those items, but I don't wanna just take 'em. I'd rather grind them out again. If I had realized that the profiles wouldn't crossover I would've grinded those events out because I changed platforms mid expedition lol.

#

...it's a long story.

#

Anyway, thanks for the clarification and the help!

#

I made a new mod. More Black Market Goods.

In the Omega expedition you have to smuggle some contraband for one of the milestones and that reminded me that black market dealers in outlaw stations carry only a very small amount of contraband.

Now, this mod isn't intended to be especially balanced, but it increases the quantity of contraband items so you'll more easily be able to fill your cargo hold with them. It also trims the list of products which visiting pirate ships carry so that they are more likely to have contraband items.

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2981/

#

I think there used to be a mod which did this, but I couldn't find it on Nexus Mods.

Wait, NMS is moddable? How does that affect multiplayer stuff?

In multiplayer, other players won't necessarily see modded stuff because they have the vanilla game files loaded.

Reality is they will NOT answer and even doubtful they would read. The answer to your original question is they could, potentially, enable mods for MacOS. None of us know why modding is disabled for MacOS. Could be a technical issue, could be they had concerns about support or issues arising, could be Apple asked/told them to (again due to potential support issues). Maybe there's a plan to enable this at some point in future. All we, as end users, can do is wait and see.

Do you need any more images to see where is the problem?

fallow meadow
#

You will have to go through all the parts on the right side and remove any that are not supposed to become part of your end result for the .stl

#

This requires some understanding of the parts as well as the model and Blender itself of course. I am actually hoping you can manage this yourself?

#

This list basically, also checking within the subsections

#

Clicking the eye will hide them, but not exclude them from export. So you will eventually have to delete the ones you can

rich rose
fallow meadow
#

LOD0 should be the most detailed ones

#

So where it has additional, remove the higher value ones for that part. Start by testing with the eyes until satisfied

i just installed my mods again (new pc)
one of the mods it seems was out of date and is causing my save to crash on load
i updated the mod (gmech no mech damage or such) and tried again and it still crashed on world load

is it lost?

vale iron
#

Are you sure it's that mod causing it? Because I wrote it and use it, and it doesn't crash for me

#

And by updated, you mean you created a new version, or you downloaded the newest version? The structure changed, so you need a new Lua

junior hatch
#

i installed my mods that i had already had on file
one of those mods (gmech no damage) registered 2 warnings and one issue or such
upon checking which mod had the issues after the world crashed on load (i had trouble finding it the first time round), i downloaded the mod again as it had been updated this month
installing the mod via the latest amumss did not register the warnings and issue but its still crashing

#

saying this, i didnt realise i should update the mods, so my next stop will be to download all mods again, though if the save is lost, i probably wont

DUD’S SKY, DUD’S SKY - COLORS, and DUD’S SKY - TERRA FIRMA have NOT been updated for any OMEGA version.

#

TERRA FIRMA has 99.9999% chance of never needing an update. I have no idea what other mods need an update, but many definitely will.

#

The mod pages all say “Compatible with NMS v4.47”

All mod pages have “last updated” date prior to OMEGA.

solid hawk
#

Many of the DUD's sky color mods should work fine, without issue, but not all. The DUD's colors ones may have more issues.

how do i check if any of my mods are clashing with each other? easy way?

vale iron

AMUMSS conflict check works, but you have to get it setup first

uuuh how do i set it up then is there a good yt vid?

nvm ill do it tmrw its 3:17am for me XD (ill share screen in one of the live channels)

There's a setup document on Nexus

There is NOT a good YT vid. There is one, but got some things wrong when it was made and is now out of date.

Nope

#

Can "cheat" your way to achievements, if you wish, and nobody cares

#

NMS, at its' heart, is NOT a competitive game, at all.

vagrant cave
#

I'd rather not. I personally would like to disable the add items for less temptation as well, i like the mod for the collection purposes

#

Or are there better mods for collectors?

solid hawk
#

Achievements are only for you and you alone.

#

DNA isn't really considered a mod. Closer to a more specific save-editor

vagrant cave
#

Hmm, i'm more simply looking for something to overview collected items.

solid hawk
#

Don't think its' Omega compatible yet though. Was last updated 3 days before 4.50 hit.

Give it a try, costs nothing. 🙂

WARNING:
A mod was released today on Nexus Mods called "No Base Building Limit"
It's an .exe that is either malware or IF it does what it claims, it will break save files... at least.

vale iron
#

Looks like Nexus may have pulled that mod, or the author

They did.

# vagrant cave Hmm, i'm more simply looking for something to overview collected items.

Technically DNA is a save-editor but it's more focussed on inventory management (sorting, etc) and collecting ships/multitools/frigates/freighters/pets. Save editing is required to move, for example, a ship from your save to store in a local database so that it frees up a slot in your game.
Other more 'cheaty' options such as technology recharging and 'spawning items' it hides by requiring you to pay up units/nanites you have on your save file. Just to balance things out a bit.

Vortex can't detect conflicts between PAK files

  1. clear the MODS folder from all LUAs and folders

Cleanign up the MODS folder from unused files will not magically fix it

It was in order to make the proper mods more visible

Post the MODS folder again, sort the files by date

i tested all the mods and they do work

hearty wasp
#

coastal waters in particular is a shader mod which is absolutely fuckin broken if not unused because it came out when NMS was using openGL

just realised you have an old version of the no lag mod too

which contains the exact model file of the anomaly

try using the diy version

Project Apollo: Lost in Time has been updated to version 4.52: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2864

With the release of game version 4.50 (Omega update), HG changed the structure of the save data files used by the game. As a result, all custom technology, items and mission data (and potentially other data from my mod) WILL GET RESET, effectively negating any kind of gameplay progress made by players in Project Apollo and putting them back to square one.

Nexus Mods :: No Man's Sky
Project Apollo - Lost in Time

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y whimey... stuff.

@thick pier the mod in question, you will need the "No Metric Lines" mod

uhhh, tbh im not too sure, i just came back to this game after a long time and just wanna explore mods so im open to whatever :)

hearty wasp

try searching for "base" on Nexus

and sorting by last updated

if you use more than one you'll prolly need to use AMUMSS

would u recommend exosolars beyond base building?

I'd recommend using whatever you like

try it out and take it out if you don't like it afterwards

read the mod descriptions and you'll see what the mods do

normally theres like rules to mods in games tho like if i place a mod item down then delete it, it would break stuff. so thats my fear

Hey, the author of Better Planet Generation said that if one uses Dud's Sky Colors, they should be loaded before BPG. I assume I did it correctly by putting two underscores on DSC mods and one on the BPG .pak?

1.png
solid hawk
#

Anything with two leading underscores, would load after anything with one leading underscore, so to make your life easier now, change BPG to have three underscores.

lean prairie
solid hawk
#

Here's the chart we use:

# 
NMS 'Order of Processing' & 'Load Order': 

From top to bottom (bottom mod pak is loaded last thus wins)
Note: not all first characters were tested here
            +  ALT+43
            -  ALT+45  (a minus or dash)
            .
            0.
            0
            1.
            1
              ...
            9.
            9
            =  ALT+61
            A
            a
              ...
            Z
            z
            _  ALT+95 (underscore)
            __ ALT+95 (underscore x2)
            ~  tilde
lean prairie
# solid hawk Yes, sir

Thought it's alphabetical, though? If I put two underscores on something, it'll get sorted in front of whatever has only one underscore, so I assumed that means it'll load before the one underscore files

#

Might just be the fact that I'm on my 11th hour of night shift and I'm barely a functioning moron atm

solid hawk
#

Don't confuse the order Windows puts them in with how NMS is going to order them.

lean prairie
solid hawk
#

Two leading underscores will load after one leading underscore, thus have precedence. Last loaded wins, in the case of file conflicts.

lean prairie
#

So - like this, then? If DSC says to load his stuff before BPG.

image.png
solid hawk
#

If you have more than one with the same number of leading underscores, will go in alphabetical order.

solid hawk
lean prairie
#

Right, yeah, makes sense. I've fallen so out of manual modding using NMM and other Mod Managers over the years lol..

#

LOOT took care of all my load order problems. 😄

solid hawk
#

Making BPG have three leading underscores, much easier than renaming all the DUD mods back to one. 🙂

lean prairie
solid hawk
#

Isn't really a good mod manager for NMS, due to the way modding works in the game.

#

None of them can deal with conflicts.

lean prairie
#

Yeah, I mean it's still pretty simple. As long as there's a way to merge mods that could clash, it's all good

solid hawk
#

So, all those folks using Vortex, with a lot of mods, they don't realize many of their mods aren't actually working, due to conflicts.

lean prairie
#

Don't get me started on Vortex... It kept shitting the bed for me when it first came out, so I still mod Skyrim and other games like that through discontinued NMM

#

Will never trust Vortex again KEKW

solid hawk
lean prairie
#

Yeah, I was looking at that. I don't really plan to get any more mods as of right now so I'll leave that on the backburner, since my current mods do not conflict

solid hawk
#

Most useable current mods have Luas scripts for use with AMUMSS

lean prairie
#

I just got the DUD colors, BPG and recolored Atlas Staff

solid hawk
#

Also has a built in conflict checker.

lean prairie
#

thanks for the help, appreciate it

solid hawk
#

No problem. Enjoy. 🙂

#

I'd recommend one of my mods to you, but you'd need to combine it with one of the DUDs ones for them both to work. Both make changes in the same game file.

#

I'll definitely give it a shot at least, I mean I can always uninstall it if it turns out it ain't for me

solid hawk
#

Exactly

#

People get a bit uptight about mods. Not like anyone is being charged money for them. lol

#

Try some out, if something isn't to your liking, can jetison and move on.

#

Anyway, have a great day/morning/afternoon/evening/night...as applicable based on your location. lol

lean prairie
#

Yeah pretty much, I'll most likely stick with visual mods for NMS, I browsed a little bit and none of the gameplay altering ones really speak to me besides BPG

rancid hollow
#

So i cant contact my friend rn, who i would be getting the stuff from if the answer is yes, but is it possible, for someone w a mod menu to create upgrade modules, that are in the vanilla scale but perfect there? That way my friend would be able to give em to me since im on ps5

fresh arch
#

It won't be possible simply because we can't trade packed tech, no matter the stats

#

The upgrade packages you get ex. from space stations do not store the info about their stats

#

The stats get generated the moment you install them in your inventory

#

And once you find an upgrade that rolled perfect stats and pack it, it becomes impossible to transfer

rancid hollow
#

I bought a single module, made a quicksave n kept installing and reloading

#

6 times now n has the exact same stats

fresh arch
#

That's because you are installing the same module with the same internal counter value in your save data

#

Install 1 other thing before and then install the X class module back and you will see different stats

#

Because the counter got incremented - new seed was generated - new stats were generated from that seed

Is this correct? I changed the seconds to 2880.

What do you mean by "acceptable"

The 2 main save editors, Goatfungus and NomNom work fine

There are also some other solutions like the DNA app but I don't know if that's updated

You can get more info about save editing on the Creative and Sharing hub server

silent crow
hearty wasp
#

p sure filter is based on planet type tho

#

you can have it look like that on every planet by modifying the portal

silent crow
#

It's from a cutscene in the game already so it wouldn't need new resources. How would I go about doing it?

#

Ah hell yeah level up baby!

hearty wasp
#

the snag here is "on dissonant planets"

#

models just get spawned by building type and system race, which being a dissonant system does not have influence on

#

you can make it appear like that on every planet like I said

#

you'll need to look into the scene and how the particular node is activated

#

could be as simple as making copies of the nodes and changing the node names but the portal has a p complex structure

silent crow
#

It's when you present the atlantineum (spelling?) to the portal for the autophage quests that the purple comes out.

fresh arch
#

We know that

silent crow
#

oh

fresh arch
#

The issue here is there is no simple way to just make stuff happen on certain condition

#

So it's either hack all the portals to have this effect

hearty wasp
#

on certain types of systems, more like

fresh arch
#

Or go mald trying to figure out mission structures

#

Have a mission that checks whether player is on a dissonant planet, if yes then activate a reward object that sets interaction with portal to corrupted style

#

And have that running in the background of your mission log

#

In theory doable, in practice - godspeed lol

fresh arch
#

Actually I take that back

#

I dont see any proper way to check whether player is on dissonant planet right now

silent crow
#

Can you check the status of sentinels on the planet?

#

I think sentinels have unique status options on dissonant planets.

hearty wasp
#

we can check the level

#

and levels are all the same between normal and dissonant systems

silent crow
#

oh
