You can use a save editor to give yourself QS, but there is a limit to the maximum amount.

people here are talking bout a save editor

steel crypt
#

@slate veldt I looked into the star thing. I can’t make the square thing happen on my PC. This tells me that it’s a shader thing and if it’s only in VR then it’s VR specific shader thing or some kind of VR driver thing or hardware.

If I’m right, it will only be fixed by HG or Vulkan or the hardware mfg. It might be mitigated by lowering the brightness of all stars through creating custom palettes for it. Might see if changing some video settings affect it?

slate veldt
#

Good to know! I'm gonna mess with some of the graphics settings later today when i test it, assuming i have the same issue that was reported.
I did mention to that user that it should be reported, as it seemed only HG could resolve it

steel crypt
#

Looks to me like maybe a shader is not using a transparency flag like it should but it could be many different things causing it.

solid hawk
#

People will come to this channel asking about save-editing, but this is a channels for mods, so those few experts in save editing don't hang here all the time. In NMS-land mods and save-editing are considered two separate things with different knowledge and skill sets.

#

As far as finding a specific mission, just have to dig through the raw save json. No magic trick to it. Very tedious and time consuming.

slate veldt
#

well, tbf

#

agree that its different knowledge / skill sets though

solid hawk
slate veldt
#

right, just validating why the questions end up here

solid hawk
#

People can ask, if they wish, just may be waiting awhile for someone to come by who can provide an answer to their questions.

#

Most of us who are in here more often fall more into the mod category.

slate veldt
solid hawk
#

I can help people with gui stuff in the save editors, but leave the direct json editing to those experts. Too much of a chance that things will go sideways.

slate veldt
#

regarding the save editor/mod discussion, i'll ask if save editing can be moved to the Troubleshooting thread under #nms-questions

#

yeah, i think when it comes to broken quests, we usually just handle it in the help / TS channel

#

when its like "how do i unlock all base parts, etc", we try to direct it out of #nms-questions

solid hawk
#

Yes, that's what bk201 and devilin pixy normally do

#

Often times I'll redirect to the savegame-edit channel on the C & S discord.

slate veldt
#

They may even be more knowledgeable than us in #nms-questions .
I rarely mess with the json but have done enough of it to know my way around it at least.

@steel crypt It was me that had it. I do have a couple poor screenshots if you'd like. Unfortunately I have toggled every possible setting from lowest to max, and it's really not doing anything. I'd report to HG, but tbh I haven't had the time to look up how.

#

Still, even if it doesn't fix anything, I am curious to try out your mods.

#

Again, not expecting anything, but if you have questions just out of curiousity I'd be happy to answer any

steel crypt
#

!hg

hardy auroraBOT
rigid gust
#

Appreciated! Both the command and looking into it.

#

I really am curious what's happening with my specific setup that is causing this

#

I have seen sporadic questions about the same thing, but looking up footage on YouTube, it seems it's definitely not universal. May even try rolling back drivers a bit

steel crypt
#

It could be a lot of things.
A few off top of my head:
The VR hardware renders this way. In other words, the driver and the hardware together render that way. (This could be an optimization method or various other reasons it might be on purpose.)
Vulkan does not play well with your VR. Which could be a Vulkan issue (not likely) or VR driver issue.
Could be HG making it happen that way with their shader pipe for that in VR. Maybe on purpose.

Since we have no practical way of dealing with shaders now, I can't see if it could be changed there. If it's a HG thing, it's a shader pipe or (not likely) an .exe thing. They must change those, we can't.

#

@rigid gust

#

My money is on HG. A shader thing. Maybe on purpose...but who knows...
I really think your best route is to report WITH SCREENSHOTS. That seems to be the most likely solution.

rigid gust
#

Regardless, I'm still going to look into various mods you've made just as a way to spice other things up a bit.

steel crypt
#

I'm going to be updating my mods soon. Like maybe tonight or tomorrow. FYI
Have you seen footage of VR that doesn't look square?

rigid gust
#

Exciting! And yes, but not in Orbital.

#

Ah, found a stream in Orbital and it seems to have it. I guess there's the answer: VR only shader weirdness introduced between Echoes and Orbital. Bug report as soon as I get home. Thanks for everything!

#

Is nomnom updated for orbital and do I need to install a new version or will it just work with the version I already have

fresh arch
#

Nope

#

None of the SE were updated for Orbital

#

Depending on what you need to do, it might still work

#

Ex. if you want to add one of the new items, you'll have to edit raw JSON and write the item ID by hand

#

Instead of picking it from editor's database

upbeat dune

Does anyone uses vortex for mods on this game?

fresh arch
#

Some people do but we mod authors recommend not to use Vortex

#

Vortex (or any other mod manager) can not tell conflicts between mods due to how game files are handled

vale iron
#

Plus, some of us (me) put multiple versions of the mod in the Nexus zip file and leave it to you to choose which one you want. Vortex doesn't like that and installs all of them

fresh arch
#

Well you could look into creating a scripted installer / FOMOD to include in the ZIP package

But aint nobody got time fo that

white ermine

nvm that I can,t install anything nor hack it XKJ is the UNlucky number

solid hawk
# vapid tide do I NEED amumss to run installed mods?

Nope, but you will find it handy if you want to use more than a minimal number of mods. Without combining\merging, using AMUMSS and Lua scripts, NMS can only use ONE mod .pak that changes any particular game file.

#

Example, you put two game .paks into your MODS folder. Those two mods both change REWARDTABLE (the most commonly modded file in NMS). Only the last loaded will work, the other will do nothing.

#

AMUMSS can also check for these conflicting .paks.

#

So, you don't NEED AMUMSS, but then again, you technically don't NEED 10 fingers either. 1 for use, 9 as spares. 🙂

actually I do have a general modding question. How do mods work with nultiplayer? Like, for example, jasondude has a mod in there that affects how many rounds are fired in a burst.

#

Thank you, I don't know all the commands for this Discord yet.

fresh arch
#

Only selected data gets synced between clients in multiplayer

solid hawk
#

NMS MP is really pretend. Doing your own thing, with other players in the vicinity

fresh arch
#

Ex. your player position gets send, but not the shape of the terrain you're on

solid hawk
#

Or the colors of things if using a color mod

fresh arch
#

So if you have a mod that changes planet generation and spawns a mountain for you, other players will see you walking in the air

rigid gust
#

Of course. But for things like projectiles, speed, player location, it trusts the client. Good to know!

#

I didn't think it would transfer your mods or anything like that (A horrifying thought tbh) so visual stuff will always be per player. Was more wondering about objects, and that link sums it up perfectly.

steel crypt
#

I think AI behavior and projectiles and player actions are synched. I’m not sure what controls the AI behavior. I can see it change if I go close to some AI ships that are near another player ship. I can see the other player react to it. I only guess it’s controlled by the local instance host?

#

it sets the flag for legacy colours for starships

#

At one point in game's development, HG changed how the colours are applied to starships

#

A starship with the same seed can have two colour variations: one using the old rules, one using the new (current) ones

#

This flag is initially set for our 1st starship - that's why Radiant Pillar is red and white

#

If you try to add it in save editor using the same seed but without the option for legacy colours, it will be green and white

steel crypt
#

Oh also a pic of the ship in the UI ship menu would be helpful

lime mesa
#

but its not just ships, its everything that is supposed to be black (like character customization stuff has that green stuff on it too)

#

like this for example

#

(settings are on ultra)

steel crypt
#

I don't know a lot about this, but I don't think there is ever a real black in NMS.....maybe somewhere but I haven't seen one yet. I'm pretty sure there is a shader flag in the texture material that's doing some light reflecting and it might also be coloring the reflection. Depends on the texture. You can't have black without light reflection...or atleast some cuz it would look really bad.

lime mesa
steel crypt
#

On that one pic with the purple and green, the purple is ambient light. The green I think is ambient light and a material coloring....possibly. I would almost have to see it in motion and the whole surrounding area to know.

lime mesa
#

so im pretty sure its just about metallic

#

i mean it only affects metallic so yeah its prob just relfections

steel crypt
#

There are so many lighting sources and things that color other things.

lime mesa
lime mesa
steel crypt
#

There are a bunch of ship textures that have a reflection and that reflection is colored in the material.....which will be colored the same every time no matter ambient light.

lime mesa
#

its still just pixelated green

lime mesa
#

big sad

steel crypt
#

all lighting in NMS colors something else.....everywhere I can think of anyway lol

lime mesa
#

lol, just dont understand why its a disgusting green 💀

steel crypt
#

The ship in the UI menu has a single point light that's basically almost white and the LUT filter is passthrough..... so that UI image is basically naked from external coloring.

#

If you look at the cockpits of most ships, you'll see a purple-ish blue (if I remember right) reflection. That's not reflecting external color, it's always that color based on the material.

#

I know HG likes color and not black and white so much. I suppose they do that to black because if there is not proper light in a location, you'll still be able to see the texture somewhat instead of it looking flat black and all weird like. Realistic would be to always shine a wee bit of white off of it, but HG like color 🤷‍♂️

lime mesa
steel crypt
#

I agree. I would have personally done it differently.

#

In order to change it, you would have to mod a bunch of material files/make custom ones and or textures for ships.

#

Like I said I'm not the expert on this though haha

#

Oh yeah.... I wonder if it's a shader mill function....maybe maybe.

lime mesa
steel crypt
# lime mesa yeah id be surprised if anyone is down for that lmao

If I find out anything more, I'll let you know. Also gonna talk to a ship texture dude that might know more.
But yeah I mean if you did ANYTHING that can be black....oh crap that's a lot of things....that are done differently and would require a lot of testing.

installing amumss to run multiple mods for nsm is sounding pretty sus

#

that was just a joke. lol. anyone have a link for a video tutorial on how to get amumss running with multiple mods that use scripts

#

and can i host a game with mods enabled, as such if people on my friends list can still join those games?

#

(sorry totally noob to modding nms I have been playing vanilla for a long while)

vale iron
#

I think the black miscoloring might be related to procedural texture color layers. My unique ships where I use black come out true black.

#

There are also some places where HG did a poor job on the textures. I don't know if it's possible to fix the procedural issues, if that's what's happening. The static textures could be cleaned up, but I would need a list of all of them

Hi, I wanted to transfer my thing from Xbox to PC, but I was told I could get some help here to transfer my save to PC, does that require I have the Windows Store version of the game?

vapid tide
#

is amomss only used when multiple .pak files have lua scripts?

solid hawk
#

@vapid tide AMUMSS processes .Lua scripts. Without AMUMSS, Luas are worthless and do nothing. The main purposes for using AMUMSS\Lua are two fold:

  1. To self update mods to latest version. This is important, because NMS mod .paks are, for the most part, NMS major version specific. You try loading any mod .pak that makes changes to a global file that was made for NMS 4.52 and try loading it in NMS 4.63, enjoy the game crash.
  2. To combine mods that conflict with each other (make changes to the same game file(s)).
#

Mod .paks contain complete copies of the game files the mod makes changes to.

#

NMS can only use one copy of a given game file.

#

So, if you have two mod .paks that make changes to the same game file, only the last loaded will work. First mod .pak loaded will replace the vanilla game file, 2nd mod .pak loaded will replace the 1st mod .pak loaded.

#

If you're just running a handful of mods, probably not much of an issue.

#

The more mods you use, the more likely you'll get mod conflicts.

#

As an example, let's take the REWARDTABLE file. Probably something like 25-50% of mods make changes to this file. Without combining\merging using Luas processed through AMUMSS, you get to choose one and ONLY one of these mods to use, because that's all that will work.

#

So, if you want a mod for more QuickSilver and a mod to get more words to learn languages faster, then you would need to combine them or pick one and forget about the other, because they will both be making changes to REWARDTABLE. 🙂

#

There's a reason so many mods for NMS have Lua scripts. Almost a necessity for combining\merging if you use mods.

Idle commentary. I was looking at the NMS Center site to toy with making a custom ship.

The fact that it can deliver a ship directly to you seems like black magic

# ocean prairie Does anyone uses vortex mod menager for this game?

Vortex has issues due to the way NMS modding works. 1) Mod .paks, for the most part (exceptions being pure TEXTURE mods and some model replacement mods), are only good for the NMS major version they were created for. Vortex will happily allow you to install a 4 month to 8 year old mods that'll crash your game. 2) With NMS mods, the game will only use one copy of a given game file in a mod .pak, last loaded wins. So, if you have multiple mods that make changes to the same game file (incredibly easy to do if you use more than a handful of mods), only one will work. We call this a conflict. Vortex doesn't check for these either.

ocean prairie
solid hawk
#

The above being said, you can use a tool called AMUMSS to check for those conflicts and can be used to solve them by combining\merging conflicting mods into a single .pak, using the Lua scripts that are available for most mods.

#

Not required, but useful. 🙂

ocean prairie
#

But its not? or is it?

#

Here are the mods i use , do you think some conflict? I did read through all their description and it seems they dont but maybe some do i dont know

#

Both DerelictAlwaysSCalss, and More Words use the REWARDTABLE file.

#

Better Ship Transfer Range and Faster Analysis too. Both use the GCGAMEPLAYGLOBALS game file

#

Might be others, but you'd need to do a conflict check to be certain

@fresh arch do you know where should i look to see why its blue ? thanks

vale iron
#

ship seeds is most likely

#

ship scene value might be as well

fresh arch
#

Before you attempt anything I would recommend checking the seed value against Mjstral's customizer bot database

#

Preview the seed and see what kind of design it will spit out

#

If the seed value results in a different coloured ship then maybe something is wrong with game files

ember harbor
#

running seeds coming up with different ships i think i doing it wrong XD

vale iron

Different seeds will be different ship combinations with different colors. Are they all blue?

ember harbor

no they not the color of mine

some of my ships are blank

Stop looking in the raw JSON

Open the Ships tab in the GUI

Read the seed value from there

forest tide
#

I was asking about it somewhere else yesterday, but do yall know if there's a way to keep the game from pausing when tabbing out?

I know calculations like timers and refiners continue, but aiming specifically to keep the game running so I can tab out during things like transitions and travel.

#

I was considering that I could possibly find out what addresses are triggered by being in multiplayer(since the game can't pause in MP) and seeing if those can be manually triggered to operate in SP, but that'll be a hugely time consuming process, so I figured I'd ask around here first lol

#

does anyone know a mod that lets you resize all base building items?

solid hawk
#

Lots. Beyond Base Building, gBase, Unlimited version of Ultra Base Building. Be aware that scaling (resizing) breaks snapping, so if you make to big or small, you'll be using free placement a lot.

brazen nymph
solid hawk
#

This limitation isn't something modding can fix. Design of the build system. Scaling is dynamic, while snaps are static. As the size of the object changes, the snaps stay in the same place, so either get put outside the bounds of the object or buried within.

Use a save editor on the gold vector and change its stats (dunno if this is even necessary but it worked for me xD)
Do the ship trading glitch at a normal space station and u should dc for 3 seconds or so, ship will spawn back in and ur friend should be able to get in without buying the ship. Stats and sc slots will be transfered

With the exception of pure TEXTURE, shader (ArghWater) and to a limited extent model replacement, mods MUST be updated to at least the latest major version of NMS (4.6x currently). Else they'd be missing data from their files in most cases.

If you installed a mod that changes flora and minerals such as BPG, then this is normal/a known issue.

solid hawk
#

If you're used to games where all things stay the same, except for exactly what the mod changes, NMS is not one of those. As we are limited to what can be changed and how, it's not unusual, especially with bigger mods, that there are unintended side effects, which a mod may not be after to fix or avoid.

THat's not to say this always happens, but it can.

#

Once you have the Xbox App installed and you log into it, it should attempt to sync the save files through the cloud

trim nymph
#

Ok but what is save editing

trim nymph
fallow meadow
#

Save Editing in short, is altering your actual save data. This allows you to do pretty much anything with your save state, from adding items, to learning tech, to giving yourself ships, units, expedition rewards, or anything the game stores in that data

trim nymph
#

Doesn’t that affect other peoples gameplay

fallow meadow
#

In your case, it was suggested to make up for the items/resources you lost, which can be done through a save editor

fallow meadow
trim nymph
#

Even if I played with a friend?

fallow meadow
#

It is basically a local thing.

trim nymph
#

Ok

fallow meadow
#

When playing with a friend, you and your friend have your own saves

trim nymph
#

I was just wondering because normally you can’t mod multiplayer things

#

Because say you get a better ship and spawn kill someone or something

fallow meadow
#

True, but you are technically only altering your own client side game/save

trim nymph
#

Ok

#

Alright, I appreciate the help and I’ll look into it

fallow meadow
#

And being able to kill some other player, is dependant on the other player's game settings. Sure you can make it really easy for yourself to a point you pretty much spoil your own game, but why would you? We recommend to be careful using a save editor and allow the game to remain at least somewhat of a challenge.

trim nymph
#

Oh no I wasn’t going to do that I just was using an example I just wanna use it to get my items back

fallow meadow
trim nymph

#

fallow meadow
#

Yeah, I am not sure if either of the above provides any way to access the Cloud Saves.

trim nymph
#

Yeah i don’t think so

#

I don’t even know if you can access the cloud saves

#

Because I don’t think the game encourages modding

#

Neither does Xbox

#

I Definitely could be wrong

fallow meadow
#

No Man's Sky is perfectly fine when it comes to modding. It just depends on the platform if modding can be done to begin with. There is for example no way to mod the game on Mac. Access to save files is something else, where on console this is sometimes impossible, other times needs a workaround.

trim nymph
#

Here’s a question for you, my original problem was that I traded a ship with an npc at space station and forgot to transfer all my items but when I got to the space station I had to get out of my ship so it should have saved then right?

fallow meadow
#

Correct, as soon as you exited your ship in the Space Station, a restore point was created. Anything after may have only been an auto save. So unless you created another restore point since, you should be able to load up the previous save. You can do this in-game, through the game Options.

trim nymph
#

But the problem is I created another one because I got in and out of my the one I got from trading to see if my items were transferred

#

Is there any way to retrieve these saves?

fallow meadow
#

What you describe above, created another new restore point, which overwrites the previous. There is no way to retrieve any previous auto/manual saves, only the latest of each will exist unless you make backups

trim nymph
#

so am I screwed or is there another way

fallow meadow
#

For that matter you are screwed. The only way to make up for it, is by playing or using tools like a save editor

trim nymph
#

Alright well thanks I’ll get to work on getting my items back!

fallow meadow
#

@trim nymph I think Bootcamp or Parallels allows for a Windows install to then get the Xbox App installed. Not sure if worth the effort, but feel free to ask for further assistance if you wish

3rd link for explanation what works in MP

stoic osprey
#

Does AMUMSS works as modloader? Like, will it automatically sort and merge mods?

fresh arch
#

No, AMUMSS is a mod builder

#

It allows you to compile / build mods based on LUA scripts

#

It's like a blueprint that contains instructions which game files to grab from your copy of the game and how to modify them

#

AMUMSS is not a requirement when it comes to just using mods in simplest of cases

solid hawk
fresh arch
#

But it's nice to have it because it allows you to 1) detect conflicts between mods and 2) merge mods

#

i want to make game less cartoon... maybe there's new mods for this?

fresh arch
#

In most cases game updates break mods

#

Don't look for mods that weren't updated in the last 2 years or so

stoic osprey
#

Thanks!

solid hawk
#

and even then, vast majority of mods would need to have been updated in the last 3 weeks to work correctly or not crash the game. Exceptions with more longevity are model replacements and pure TEXTURE mods.

If given mod affects the file on that list, it's gonna need an update

#

Nope

#

You will be missing on new items added or changes to existing tech

#

Because mods work by providing modified copies of whole game files, which house ex. all the fixed stats for tech modules

So you providing an older version over a newer one renders all the changes from update gone

Hello !

solid hawk
earnest python
#

Any here familiar with AMUMSS and the mod "AutoScannerPlus" ? Since it wasn't up to date, tried to do it myself, it's supposed to basically fix itself with this tool .. but even though i recompiled the pak with the lua, it doesn't work and i don't know what i'm missing

solid hawk
#

Two things to check. Are you using latest version of the script and do you have any conflicting mod .paks, ones that make changes to the same game files as auroscannerplus

#

Can run a conflict check in your MODS folder from AMUMSS

#

run buildmod.bat and choose M for conflict check

#

Details will be in REPORT.lua

earnest python
#

There's no new version of the lua, i barely know what i'm doing, it's literally "some guy" who told me to just run the lua through amumss and it should "fix it" .. which i did, but several points don't match like the local nms_version = "4.63" line for example, well it's not that version anymore so i wonder if i actually just recompiled the mods for shits & giggles and remade it just as outdated as before

fresh arch
#

Those lines should not matter, it's just metadata

image.png
#

Info about the mod: what its name, who made it, what's the version, etc

earnest python
#

oh okay

#

but yeah, the NMS update is all recent, the mod update is 2 weeks old

fresh arch
#

IF you run the script through AMUMSS and you don't get any error / warning / notices at the end, then you should be good to go

#

Maybe this one particular mod does not need to be updated but it's good practice to recompile all the scripts yourself for each update

#

That way you are certain you have the mod based on the most recent game files

earnest python
#

Hmmm .. it's the only mod i have and i downloaded it today so there's no conflict, no other version and i get the mod warning in the game

#

fresh arch
#

Then you gotta check that the PAK file is present in GAMEDATA/PCBANKS/MODS directory inside game's installation folder

#

And that the DISABLEMODS.TXT file is no longer present in GAMEDATA/PCBANKS

earnest python
#

yep, it is and the disablemods.txt is deleted, and i still get the warning about a mod present but the mod doesn't do anything

#

maybe it's the latest update who broke it by making changes that can't be simply fixed by this ? I don't know i'm grasping at straws here

fresh arch
#

Yes, updates generally break mods, that's why tools like AMUMSS exist

#

Those allow us to generate new versions of the mods compatible with latest game version on the spot

#

Without having to wait for the mod authors to do it

#

So if AMUMSS has no issues processing the script and you get the mod warning message, then all should be fine

#

Elaborate on what do you mean by "mod is not working", Like what do you expect it to do

#

What should happen in the game vs. what you get

#

Asking because there's lots of mentioning of "when within range" on the mod description page

#

It won't magically scan the whole planet or even bigger area, but notify you with a marker once you are in range of a supported structure

earnest python
#

Waiiiiit now it works what the fuck, i deleted the pak (even though it was the fresher version i double checked), remade it again .. and now it works

#

Sometimes making the same operation twice delivers different results .. apparently.

hearty wasp
#

sounds like an access issue

fresh arch
#

Nah, AMUMSS doesn't do crazy stuff like that

#

It's a machine you feed instructions into, the same instructions should always produce the same outcome

dunno where i screwed up but i did, it seems that now i did it properly

Most of mod authors recommend not using any mod manager for NMS

iron breach
#

any mod recommendations / must haves?

solid hawk
#

Look through, see what interests you or meets a need you see and try them out.

#

Be aware, by default with NMS, you can use one mod .pak that makes changes to any given game file. So, for example, if one mod .pak makes changes to the same game file called REWARDTABLE.MBIN, you wouldn't want to add another mod .pak which is for that file, as only one of the mods would work (last loaded wins).

#

To get around that limitation, you can combine\merge mods that conflict with each other, using AMUMSS and the Lua scripts which come with most mods.

obligatory Sean comment

#

lol

loud wharf
#

Hello everyone!
Who can tell me possible reasons why installed mods don't work? I installed a few mods and none of them work... I use the latest version of Vortex mod manager.

#

Gunter, what does your reaction mean?

vale iron
#

Gunter is a bot. It means your leveled up on the server

#

Do you get a mod warning message when you start the game?

loud wharf
#

Oh, I am stupid, sorry... LOL
No, I didn't have any warning messages. I had a few mods installed and the game would not start, then I disabled most of them leaving only a very few for building and the game started very quickly but the mods didn't work.

vale iron
#

If you get no warning, then you either didn't remove DISABLEMODS or you're not using PCBANKS/MODS folder

#

Oh, or you aren't using PAKs

loud wharf
#

OK, run it by me again... I use mod manager, I didn't do any of it...

#

The mod manager didn't tell you anything about any of it... When you install it, it gives you a short tutorial on how to set it up and use it. but nothing about what you said...

#

I just found the folder you were referring to, I didn't find either "Disablemods" nor "Enablemods" files. Also, the mods I am interested in are in the PCBanks/MODS folder. And they are in .pak format.

#

What else can I check?

vale iron
#

We don't recommend using mod manager for NMS, as it's easier and more reliable to just copy and paste the PAKs into the MODS folder. Can you show me a screenshot of your MODS folder, including the path?

loud wharf
#

sure, one sec

#

If I just don't start the mod manager and start the game from the Steam the mods still should be in that folder, right?

loud wharf
#

Is anyone available to answer this inquiry?

steel crypt
#

One folder up. Pcbanks. Is there a disable mods file there?

loud wharf
#

no

steel crypt
#

and you get no mod warning screen when starting NMS?

loud wharf
#

nope

#

something I am missing...

steel crypt
#

My understanding is if there is no disable mods file, and you have a pak in that folder then you should get a warning.

#

I’m not really sure what’s happening then

loud wharf
#

I bet it is something simple...

steel crypt
#

I suppose although it would be weird, you could have a weird folder permission and NMS can read from the MODS folder

loud wharf
#

But I might be gravely wrong

steel crypt
#

That would be strange though

loud wharf
#

that I have no way to find out

steel crypt
#

Have you ever had any mod working? Or ever seen the warning?

loud wharf
#

nope

#

I installed the manager from the Nexus site and after that found some mods and installed it through the manager...

#

but I tried it also strating the game without the manager and mods still not working

steel crypt
#

Okay don’t use the manager. Put pak files only..none of that other stuff…into that MODS folder. Then launch NMS from steam or however you do it with Vortex.

loud wharf
#

I already did that

steel crypt
#

Yeah we typed at the same time haha

#

I’ve been playing NMS since 2016 and never heard of this. I just don’t know much past that to help.

loud wharf
#

hm...

#

So that folder should be empty if there are no mods, right?

steel crypt
#

/PCBANKS/MODS/ should be empty if you have no mods installed

loud wharf
#

What if I uninstall the manager and just copy the content of each mod folder into that MOD folder?

steel crypt
#

Yes that’s what you need to do. But you only need the pak files. The other files aren’t mods or for mods.

loud wharf
#

ok, I hate to do that, but I don't know any other alternative at this point...

steel crypt
#

I’ve seen all kinds of Vortex issues with NMS.

#

But it’s easy. It’s just copying pak files to a folder or removing them.

loud wharf
#

Yeah, I have to find all the mods in the manager, and make a copy of them, ... many steps, I am lazy at this point in the evening... LOL I already spent all day trying to solve this...

#

OK, wish me luck, I have to be able to resize the boxes, I can't go on without it... LOL

steel crypt
#

Alright. Few people here and in help channel. Ask if having issues.

loud wharf
#

Sure...

#

thanks for your help

fresh arch
# loud wharf

You have some older mods, those will be incompatible with the current game version

#

Best practice would be to ditch all the mods and pick only mods from the new released or recently updated sections of Nexus

#

Anything older than 3 weeks or so (since Orbital update was released) can potentially crash the game

#

Or cause other issues during gameplay

Not new to the game but havent messed with mods, Is modding this game worth it? and if so is it hard/annoying to do? i havent looked into what kinds of mods there are but im kinda curious what others think.

fresh arch
#

Starting using mods is not difficult, basically make folder, copy-paste, remove 1 file, all basic file explorer stuff

#

All detailed in the 1st link from bot message above

#

Is it worth it - that depends solely on what you expect

#

Dont expect modding on level of other games, where you get total overhauls, new quests, NPCs, mechanics or functionalities added

#

Modding NMS is pretty limited, we can only tinker with existing values and sometimes shuffle them around to make "new" stuff

#

Go onto Nexus Mods, browse through new releases and recently updated mods, pick your fancy

#

Do not download mods that are older than 3 weeks or whenever Orbital update dropped, any mod that was not updated can cause crashes and other issues
