How many save slots should there be?

[floral dust]

There should my save slot 1 which is my only save

[fallow meadow]

Could you try the following:

• Close the Save Editor
• Launch the game
• Select each different save slot to then save in-game once loaded in.
  See if that fixes it

[floral dust]

That’s the only open save slot

Second slot is to start a new game

Second slot is saved and on the same planet and where my first save is so think that is my second slot save but I can’t edit anything

[fallow meadow]

Just for your info, each slot has 2 saves (auto and manual). This may not match the actual order you see listed in the game selection menu, where it lists by date/time for last played.

[floral dust]

That’s how I’ve figured out it’s on the right game slot but it says empty where as it should be custom

[fallow meadow]

Before being able to save edit, you select the slot through the dropdown, which then loads the last save for that slot.

Not sure about the empty, but I know that NMSSE has some issues naming this correctly to match what it says in-game. This will correct itself with a new save in-game

[floral dust]

So if I make a new game

It’ll sort it out?

[fallow meadow]

If you go in-game, select an empty slot to create a new, set it up with your difficulty and then save in-game, it should be available in the save editor too.

You may have to reload for it to update

[floral dust]

Would that potentially make my first save available to be edited

[fallow meadow]

Any save present should be available for editing, although there are more saves than slots due to each slot having 2 saves

[floral dust]

It’s not letting me edit my main save

[fallow meadow]

Could you try what I said earlier?
Go in-game and make sure to save each different slot present (which will move it to the top), to then restart the save editor to see if it has them all

[floral dust]

Wait the top save will be last played not which was made first?

If so that might’ve fixed it

Idk ima try it

[fallow meadow]

In-game, yes, top slot is the last saved one

(which could be either an auto or manual save)

[floral dust]

Changed my top slot so slot 2 on game slot should be my main

How do I reload saved data

So Ik my save editor is updated

[fallow meadow]

Just close the Save Editor and launch it again

[floral dust]

It’s picked up both slots

Both however are called empty

And I can’t edit them

[fallow meadow]

Ok, now select one of those slots in the dropdown

[floral dust]

I have it shows me the correct things so Ik it’s that saved but both don’t let me click on any tab other than main

[fallow meadow]

When selecting a slot, it should load the 'latest save' for that specific slot (auto or manual)

Can you show me?

[fallow meadow]

Ok, so now it tried to load the latest save for that slot, but it failed. At least we are a step further now.

Can you click the dropdown for the 'Save file' ?

[floral dust]

https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor/issues/955

That’s a forum on the same issue

[fallow meadow]

(after closing the notification)

[floral dust]

Can’t find a solution from it tho

Says the same error for both unfortunately

[fallow meadow]

I know there are issues currently. The game recently had a couple of big changes which affected save editors.

[floral dust]

How recent is the worlds update

Cos i think that might be why but im unsure

[fallow meadow]

Ok, but at least it shows both the auto and manual saves. It should show the same for any other slot you have, and have 2 files to choose from after

[floral dust]

I think it’s an issue with the editor cos my brand new save has the same error on both manual and auto slots

[fallow meadow]

Worlds was very recent, but prior to worlds there also has been a change in save data. It could very well be that the Save Editor you are currently using is not working with Xbox (PC) save files

[floral dust]

Is there any other save editors

[fallow meadow]

Thank you for confirming. I know that does not help you though, but I am afraid you'll have to wait on an update to this save editor. If you wish, you could pick a matching topic on the Github and post your reply to it, possibly including a backup of your saves.

[floral dust]

That’s all good least I know my main save isn’t corrupt and can’t be edited and it’s an editor issue

[fallow meadow]

I can suggest to give NomNom a try, although not quite without its own issues, it may work well for what you intend to do.

I also strongly recommend making backup of your saves regardless. Better safe than sorry

Hero

Nom nom is working but this unlock all button confuses me

[fallow meadow]

If you are trying to unlock rewards, please make sure to do this on the Account, not the Save

[floral dust]

Trying to unlock equipment

[fallow meadow]

In that case, the save should be good.

[floral dust]

But I click unlock all and nothing ticks

[fallow meadow]

What do you find confusing about it?

[floral dust]

It worked fine with the crafted products

[fallow meadow]

Ah ok, let me check, I rarely use it myself.

Give me a moment while I update

[floral dust]

Not much happens for me

Okay

Unless I’m clicking the wrong thing

[rancid wasp]

Is there any mod that gets rid of all the little cinematic messages that pop onto your screen and slightly letter-boxes things but takes away your controls and massively overstays its welcome?

[fallow meadow]

I might be having the same issue. Nothing appears to happen, although I am not quite sure what to expect either to be honest. I clicked a few of the other options as well to get a crash.
I'd suggest reporting about it, or maybe checking out the creators Discord to ask/discuss this.
I am sure 'zencq' appreciates any issues or suggestions, as they work hard on improving it and its many features. A link to their Discord is provided in the Github link yu likely used to get the download

@floral dust For now I suggest just clicking each box instead, which does appear to work

[floral dust]

That unselects it when it scrolls so unsure will find the discord so

[solid hawk]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1628

This one?

[rancid wasp]

oh god yes! i've nearly been killed because of these stupid things. I don't know what the devs were thinking. I know they wanted to create these dramatic cinematic moments to mention new planets and acchievements, but the fact that they lock your controls out while they are up and you have to frantically press and hold tab for a few seconds to get rid of them is a nightmare. So often I'm running or boosting too, which means I've now shift-tabbed and opened the steam overlay. So stressful!

[solid hawk]

Cool. Hope it'll help. 🙂

[fallow meadow]

Ah yes, I have that pretty regularly with contraband or having been scanned, to then fly into all sorts of trouble.

[rancid wasp]

I get having the little messages and all, even if it takes a bit of visual focus. But why why why does it lock out our controls?? You can't even press escape and get to the main menu. It should quickly close on any inputs like escape/tab. instantly, no hold.

[fallow meadow]

I usually just laugh about it as I frantically try to rid of the dialogue

That being said, feel free to offer a suggestion

[cerulean cipher]

I have a super generic but Dumb question to ask about mods

What happens if you put a folder in your mod folder instead of a specific pak?

[solid hawk]

You mean a folder within your PCBANKS\MODS directory?

[cerulean cipher]

Yeah cause sometimes mod folders have more than just the pak

[solid hawk]

Not much. Used to be that an empty folder in MODS would cause a crash. I don't* think* it does that anymore.

The game will ONLY use .pak files in MODS. Anything else will be ignored

[cerulean cipher]

I was just worried it would stop a mod from functioning properly

[solid hawk]

Nope, just ignored by the game. Lots of people dump .Lua scripts, .txt files, and whatever else in MODS. Invisible to the game. It only cares about .pak files

[cerulean cipher]

Thanks! Sorry for such a stupid question, I still have no idea what I'm doing with all of this😅😂

[solid hawk]

That being said, if you needed to stop using a .pak temporarily, can throw into a folder in MODS and the game will neither see nor use it

We all started at the beginning sometime. 🙂

[cerulean cipher]

Modding seems like it can be incredibly simple but also incredibly complex

[solid hawk]

Both using and making. 🙂

[cerulean cipher]

I wish I had the talent to make one.. people who make mods often seem to understand parts of the game better than the dev at points imo

Is it better to mod manually or use vortex?

[solid hawk]

You'd be surprise. Many, with "new" mods, when an update hits, just troll for mods that haven't been updated yet, steal the "old" mod and regurgitate it as their own.

Those folks used to bother the core mod authors, but no point in getting uptight about them. Their mods last MAYBE a few weeks, then die. Once those people find out they have to redo the mod for many game updates, which takes time and effort, they abandon the mod.

[cerulean cipher]

How difficult is merging mods?

[cerulean cipher]

That's a really lame thing to do

[solid hawk]

To be able to use two or more mods that make changes to the same game file(s), mod conflicts?

Easy.

[cerulean cipher]

Yes exactly!

[solid hawk]

Many mods come with or have available Lua scripts. You use these with AMUMSS to merge. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2626

[cerulean cipher]

I'm trying to use consumerism to see all possible expedition rewards but I need quicksilver to finish a milestone in expedition 2

And I think the mods that let you earn quicksilver conflict

[solid hawk]

Could be. Also, there's several mods to boost QS.

[cerulean cipher]

Maybe I should delete consumerism and see if they work

I was trying that bottom one but I don't think it was working even though some comments on it say it was working 5 days ago

[solid hawk]

There ONLY boost quicksilver rewards for completing various missions or milestones.

[cerulean cipher]

Wait I thought the bottom one added quicksilver to missions?

[solid hawk]

Consumerism adds the expedition and twitch rewards to the quicksilver shop. Two different things

[cerulean cipher]

So they shouldn't be conflicting?

[solid hawk]

They can be. I don't know which files Consumerism touches. Not my mod

There's also an optional version of the bottom one, which combined the bottom and middle

If you use the above AMUMSS, it can do a conflict check on the mod .paks in your MODS folder. Tell you which have conflicts and should be combined.

[cerulean cipher]

I should probably read what you sent above and attempt to learn how to do that

For now I deleted consumerism to try and see if they work on their own

[hearty wasp]

those mods have no correlations with consumerism

[cerulean cipher]

Must be not working on its own then.. wonder what I did wrong

They are in the same folder and consumerism is working

[hearty wasp]

you should make sure the mod does what you think it does

[cerulean cipher]

It says it adds quicksilver to mission rewards

So I assume a space stations missions should have quicksilver on them?

[glossy lake]

can you change ship colors with mods?

i feel like there is/was a tool for this

to edit the save

[solid hawk]

While it is possible to change ship colors with mods, this has nothing to do with seeds in the save file, nor will anyone without the same mod be able to see the changes.

[glossy lake]

i jsut found a sketchy site, idk if its legit, you put in a ship you want and then you launch tghe game and...?

[solid hawk]

Via mod this is done by changing the applicable color palette file

[glossy lake]

it seems to find where in the game world the ship you want would be located

can i dm you the site to see if its legit?

[solid hawk]

If it's https://nomansapp.com/, not sketchy. Legit

[glossy lake]

it is that one

lol

sorry, you never know

[solid hawk]

It's based out of the C&S Discord, https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

Check it out, ask around

[glossy lake]

Once the ship appears on the anomaly/nexus enter it's cockpit and it will replace your current ship for free and instantly.
Note: This method replaces the outward appearance of your current ship only. Tech, inventory and stats remain.
This is called reskinning or seed switching. The ship is always at the fixed docking position shown in the image.``` Since the ship I want to replace is the same class and everything that I want, this would be the best option to get the same ship with different colors?

maybe i'll check out that discord, this is confusing

[solid hawk]

You'd have to ask over there. Only thing I've ever used the bot service for is Galactic Guide Exports. 🙂

Lots of experts over there who can direct and teach

I'm not one of them though. lol

[glossy lake]

Seems its behind a paywall for ship customizeation, maybe i'll try that other option you mentioned

[glossy lake]

yay, it worked, red ship instead of yhellow lol

actually wanted the inverse colors but oh well

[solid hawk]

Better than a big flying banana

[glossy lake]

😂

[solid hawk]

I could use a little hand folks. One of my mods is just three hundred endorsements behind a mod which has been dead for 7 years. I'm hoping to elicit a big bump in endorsements and shoot past LowFlight. Even if not interested in using mods or base building, would be helpful to get all the endorsements I can. Just have to download, then can endorse 15 minutes later. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1096?tab=description Thanks. 🙂

[viral oak]

because babs is cool, mew endorsed.

[glossy lake]

Depends, lemme try your mod and see if I like it. 🧐

Maybe you have working lights.

Well, the amuss stuff looks way to complicated atm so i'll give an endorsement anyways.

When you have to download a .pdf, you know this is going to be real complicated and rickety.

I used to play no mans sky with like 20 mods, but since the new update ive not used a single one.

when ever the custom difficulty setting swere added, that covered 90% of my mod needs.

Becaue: 1) HG didn't implement it 2) When HG does it, it's no longer a mod. They may just though. A couple of months ago I published a new mod. NMS 5.0 implemented what I'd done, thereby killing the mod. lol

[spiral nacelle]

.

[vague jetty]

Do you think they will ever do that with the LAG mod? The one that fixes the stutter when entering and exiting a planet's atmosphere

[ocean prairie]

I dont even know why it hasn't be done before it such an obvious thing to do when the game loop is literally entering and exiting planets lol

[vague jetty]

I know!! I keep wondering why they haven't done this any sooner.
That lag spike breaks the immersion, you feel like it's loading something.

[rapid sandal]

the assumption of those that run uncompressed pak's is that the cost of extra io is less than the cost of decompression. this isn't always the case. most of the compressed mbin's take a small fraction of a second to extract from the pak, decompress, and decompile, so you are only going to possibly benefit when the game is reading large mbin's or many mbin's in a short period.

[steel crypt]

And it also causes performance loss for some hardware setups. You will only benefit if loading uncompressed from storage to memory is faster than decompressing a smaller file to memory. It all depends on hardware. All of this is also only for the first load. All instances after that are from what has been previously loaded into memory, so the mod isn’t even being used.

On my super potato PC I get zero lag after initial load into memory.

[slow river]

Running NMS with packed but uncompressed pak files theoretically offers the same amount of I/O with no cpu time wasted decompressing, which is the reason I made NMS Decompressinator actually, although I don't think the mbins are the thing causing the game to have most of it's lag spikes that the decompression is the fault of

[pallid elk]

when farming a deposit, you use the smallest terrain manipulator size to get better yield, is there a mod that fixes that?

i want full yield with full size mine

[slow river]

NMS disposes of a lot of things from memory though, the typical lag fix people use for just planet exit works by specifically laser targetting what was deemed previously as the problematic packed file (for the pleaving planet lag fix, iirc it's the mesh for the space anomaly) and this mesh seems to get unloaded from memory anytime you enter a planet atmosphere, and is reloaded anytime you enter space again from a planet, which is why that lag spike happens, and pretty consistently for everyone playing the game at that

the reason that the fix works is that the game needs that file, it gets that file from mods first and the archive with no compression unpacks much faster than an archive with compression, so the lag spike is less/non-existent since the game doesn't have to unpack that mesh from the base game archive

[dawn timber]

so im looking to export my base build and was told there are mods for it

anyone care to help?

[split harbor]

Heya, I know there are some mods to redo past expeditions. Do they still work in 5.X ?

[solid hawk]

Probably not. Due to what the actual issue is and the solution. See explanation by Jason and cmk

[solid hawk]

Not some, one. Ask in POSTS on the mod page. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2996

[solid hawk]

No mods. App. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1879

[split harbor]

Alr, tyvm ! 😄

[vague jetty]

I don't know the real cause. Could be the pak files or loading the Space Station.
If it is the space station it seems weird to me that it doesn't load like everything else. HG found such elegant solutions that work for loading planets as you approach them. For generating terrain and loading all appropriate assets. Why would the Space Station not have a low poly version that loads faster and prevents the spike and then use another thread or what not to load it fully later?
Again I dont fully know the reason, so I don't know if the solution is that straigth forward.

[vague jetty]

This makes sense. But why would't they use a low poly faster version for when you just exit the planet. And then load the Space Station Fully after?

[hearty wasp]

all lods are stored in the same geometry file and the game loads the same file all the same

and it does have LOD

[steel crypt]

A decompressed file is larger than a compressed one. This means more has to be read from storage. You are trading CPU time (decompression) for storage read time. This will only benefit some hardware setups. It doesn’t benefit my hardware. Makes loading slower. Depending on the hardware in a console and other things per console, it might not be better. Same goes for switch and mac.
Then there are storage size issues per platform. NMS has to find a balance for all of these systems. This is the reason I think HG will not do it this way. I’m glad you and others are having good results from it, but HG has to consider the big picture.

[slow river]

Yeah, makes sense. I think what HG really needs to do is find some way to figure out what files the most problematic loading chokepoints are caused by and address the problem differently, be it keeping those things in memory or other possible solutions, like putting them in their own less compressed archive or what-have-you

But it's overall a pretty minor issue in the grand scheme of things

[plush bison]

any way to save edit the xbox version?

[plush bison]

nvm figured it out

[rancid wasp]

Hi folks, a mod author has told me if I want to change some minor configs in his mod to "run his lua through amumss". I've downloaded this program and can't make heads or tails of it and the documentation seems to assume one has a background in modding or a degree in computer science. All I'm trying to do is change a single config line in the mod from false to true to unlock some new building parts, but after struggling for 30 min with this I'm in deeply over my head.

[hearty wasp]

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

[rancid wasp]

Ah! I ended up figurig it out. It doesn't look for lua files in the MODS folder, you have to move them to a scripts folder. That did it!

[rapid sandal]

"packed but uncompressed pak files theoretically offers the same amount of I/O" i'm not sure how you can say this. a compressed mbin can be 1/10th the size of uncompressed. so, for example, reading a 100KB compressed mbin from a pak requires reading 100KB from disk, then decompressing, vs reading 1MB from from disk for an uncompressed pak.

[solid hawk]

Yes and for the one change I told you about, do NOT need to edit the script. As mentioned, run it through AMUMSS and you'll be promped in the console to choose. 🙂

[rancid wasp]

I felt so smart once I figured it out and the dos-like interface started pumping out lines of productive text. Got the prompts and everything just like you said, worked like a charm.

[solid hawk]

Beautiful. Just too many features and configuration choices, and different people want different things. So I have defaults for certain features, on or off, then make it as simple as I can for people to configure themselves for individual preference. The most asked after features via those comsole prompts, otherwise true false at the top of the script, by pre-editing.

[rancid wasp]

It's so fun seeing a lush tropical environment out of the big pretty ship windows.

Its pretty tough transitioning between the freighter parts and traditional parts because the whole freighter-part ecosystem produces railings and things. There's no way to have a clean horizontal transition.

[pallid elk]

is there any mod that increase resource from mining deposit (terrain manipulator)?

i found one on some random website but i dont find them on nexus

https://videogamemods.com/nomanssky/mods/more-resources-from-asteroids-deposit-analyze-scan-faster/

[solid hawk]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1946

You'd need to run the lua script through AMUMSS to update to current. If you try using the downloadable .pak it'll crash the game

[solid hawk]

Free placement is your friend, but have to be meticulous

[rancid wasp]

oh believe me I know. I gave my freighter a very pretty wooden floor. I'm all about getting into glitch building. I just haven't found an easy way to horizontally transition between freighter bits and other bits. Like if you put a door on a freighter module with nothing on the other side, it makes a little balcony with a high railing around it. There's no way to make a hole in the side of a freighter part without a railing or something forming to block at-grade movement to another set of objects. Best I've found is using freighter platforms to act as big foundations under what ever you're trying to transition to.

[solid hawk]

Just wait until you get into using Eucli and Kibbles. 🙂

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1627

[rancid wasp]

oh wow this adds actual new models to the game? How's that end up working with multiplayer and such?

Like it's one thing to just unlock stuff, another to add

Or is this just digging into the game's files and unlocking even more objects?

[solid hawk]

Can still use MP, but only those using the same mod will be able to see the non-vanilla parts

Some are completely custom, others are parts of other models in-game, not meant to be built with

[rancid wasp]

I think that would be getting a little too outside of the vanilla game experience for me. It if was purely just unlocking parts and anyone without the mod could see it all I'd be game for that though.

[solid hawk]

But, they all have unique IDs, which don't exist in vanilla, hence why players without the mods can't see the parts. Not in their game files.

Figured I mention them. Popular in the base building ecosystem

[rancid wasp]

Does your beyond base building mod already essentially do that? unlock everything possible to unlock that has an ID and doesn't need others to have the same mod to see?

[solid hawk]

Nope. Beyond base focuses on removing limits. Like where parts can be built or limits on the numbers of specific objects

[rancid wasp]

Although for the most part I don' tneed more parts, I just want the company to fix their barely working building system. Snap points and everything are such a damn nightmare. I spend a solid 75% of my time just zooming around trying to get the exact angle and distance needed for a very simple obvious snap point to work. And so many things block snap points that shouldn't. Stuff like placing half-stairs are a nightmare too as they don't really snap correctly on top of an existing floor. So much stuff like that. The whole snap and building system feels like an EA-release test version we're getting to try out on an experimental build. The fact that they think the system in its current form is ok is just nuts to me. And it seems like it would be a fairly easy fix too. Just make it so snap points never get blocked by other nearby objects, or let us hold shift or some other key to go into that sort of a snap mode for easy overlapping or placing objects where the game thinks you shouldn't.

it's funny how building is one of the most popular aspects of NMS when its by far the worst most fiddly and inconsistent build system of any game I've played.

[solid hawk]

...and snaps are static, while sclaing is dynamic. Hence why scaling breaks snapping. The borders of the object move, but the snap points stay in one place.

Will chat later. Meds kicking in, so my typing is getting really bad. lol

[rancid wasp]

Good luck with your drugs!

[violet gust]

is it possible to still transfer saves from GoG to Steam?

[rancid wasp]

you own the game on both platforms??

[violet gust]

yes

[rancid wasp]

If I was trying to do that, I'd search for the save folders of both versions and see if they look simple enough for a copy paste job. But I doubt it will be that easy.

[solid hawk]

NomNom save editor can do transfers, I believe

[violet gust]

I've tried that, but it simply freezes up when I select my steam save file

[fallow meadow]

I'd suggest checking discussion or reporting your issues where you downloaded NomNom from. It is the only Save Editor I am aware to do transfer with. Just not quite working correctly yet in some cases with the changes the save data has seen recently. You can also join their Discord and get informed there

I should've said same amount of filesystem load, not necessarily I/O, yeah you're right about that, if you have a slow disk, theroretically at least, uncompressed pak files may introduce lag if you're pairing a very powerful CPU with a pretty slow disk, like a mechanical drive. I updated the description on Decompressinator to reflect this.

[solid hawk]

Looks like this might and was updated very recently, so should work.

[glossy lake]

Is there a mod that adds a confirmation or otherwise prevents deleting base parts on accident?

OR like an undo button.

[solid hawk]

There's no existing properties for deletion confirmation or an undo function, so nothing a mod could do, 100% in the purview of HelloGames. NMS modding is changing values for existing properties in static game files. We cannot add anything new nor inject new logic, where it doesn't already exist.

[glossy lake]

You misclick once and a whole room and everything in it is "poof", that sucks

If youre using prefabs

[urban thunder]

hey guys- is there a way to give yourself the glyphs in a save editor? i use nomnom

im too lazy to do the missions

[cold rover]

Does anyone do client modding?

[steel crypt]

What does that mean?

[lavish plank]

Does anyone have 1 salvaged frigate module that they could spare me?

[cold rover]

It means stuff like adding models and stuff

Like

Adding a custom ship

Or player model

Or remaking code

[fresh arch]

There are mods that add custom ships in forms of basic 3d models, look for Ships of Moar on Nexus

No player model replacers, no altering game's codebase

Modding NMS is fairly limited, basically just tweaking existing parameters, no way to add new logic / functionality

[cold rover]

My brother made 3d models and im wonder how to put them in game, or if someone can do it for us

[hearty wasp]

If you want to know how to start making mods get over to the modding discord where more ppl'd be happy to either help you or burst your bubble, depending on your idea's feasibility

!moddinglink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/22ZAU9H

[solid hawk]

Can add models, generally as skins over existing, but can't add animations. Be aware that currently the tools for importing and exporting models, for NMS, is broken from the NMS 5.x update. May be a few weeks before it is fixed.

[cold rover]

Damn

[drowsy comet]

can anyone with save editor pls help me

[mortal sphinx]

hi im using exosolar's beyond basebuilding, and it works nicely, but even before world part 1, i cant seems to snap cables to battery that was forcefully sized up, is there a way to force snap electricity?

[hearty wasp]

snappoints don't scale with objects

[mortal sphinx]

it scaled when i scale down tho, but yes it wont when i scale it up

but im trying to find a work around to make all snapping point visible even when im not looking at it

[hearty wasp]

Can't, that's HG's job

Do you have a screenshot you can post of the snappoints being scaled down btw? I don't think I've seen that before

[solid hawk]

Even says on the mod Description Tab, scaling breaks snapping. This isn't a mod thing, it's a HelloGames NMS design thing.

While BBB enables scaling on objects which don't allow scaling in vanilla, I'm guessing he may be using gBase Boundary as well, which allows to scale smaller or larger than in vanilla.

[mortal sphinx]

ill give ya when im back

[solid hawk]

Can say that the snappoints did not scale when you scaled down. There is no provision in the NMS code to allow for this. The object scaled, but the snappoint stayed in place. Just wound up still in a position to be useable.

[vestal iron]

Would be cool to have an overlay system like FFXIV plugins, I would kill for coordinates in ship view like you get in cockpit view.

Make sure to start with a full backup, from the wgs folder or earlier in that full path to the save files. Check for your platform below

Mind you %LocalAppData% = C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Local Likely hidden by default, but should be able to browse to it using NomNom

[warm gulch]

alright thank you

[hearty wasp]

Do you not need the game installed to have the cloud saves downloaded

It read like you just logged in and didn't install the game so the saves are not on the machine is all

[warm gulch]

my account should already have the saves on the cloud

and i dont know how to download it using on the lap top to log in and i dont own nms and i dont got gamepass either so its alot harder

[solid hawk]

You'd need to install the gamepass software, with NMS to get the saves on the machine

If you solely have xbox console, without gamepass, don't think there's any way to get access to the saves.

[hearty wasp]

Theys said they don't have gamepass so I assume it's gonna be from microsoft store instead

[solid hawk]

ah, ok. That could work too. Should use the same system of cloud saves

Would need to log into the MS store with the same account originally used to purchase the game.

Should be able to sign out of the store app, then manually log back in with another account

[warm gulch]

i dont own the game either my dad has gamepass thats how i play it

and i sadly dont got 80 bucks for the game

[magic lava]

We call that "motivation"

[warm gulch]

lol i have some motivation

[hearty wasp]

Right and if you're not logged into your father's gamepass on the laptop you can't grab the save

So you have to kindly ask your father to log into his gamepass on the laptop, install the game, and then see if the save appears after

[late mango]

i have a question so like i dont have alot of time on my hands and im having fun and o did build a main base but i just found a much more beautiful world however i want to have a nice cottage relaxing base style but im not super good at building and due to time restraint its very tuff is there any way or mod where i could download a base and like paste it somehow into the game? im genuenly asking thank you

[hearty wasp]

NMSSE/NMSC both have base export/import feature

[late mango]

is there a website or something i could download a base at or something?

yk like how mc has like planet mc

[hearty wasp]

Not really

[late mango]

so how does the base export work?

[hearty wasp]

You build a base

And then you export it using the software I mentioned

[late mango]

ok can do you it on a base you find randomly?

or nah

[hearty wasp]

Not really

I guess you can check if the base building app has an appropriate prefab

I don't use it so idk

[late mango]

what one do you think i should use?

[hearty wasp]

Whichever one you want

Link to NMSSE can be found here #nms-modding message

And help with NMSC can be found in the creative hub discord

[late mango]

thank you very much for the help 🙂

[mortal sphinx]

the cable snappoint appears when scaled down, but not when scaled up or size increase

[hearty wasp]

Interesting to see

[mortal sphinx]

yes, if i can snap those pipes and battery, industrial area would be perfect

[hearty wasp]

Yeah good luck with that

[mortal sphinx]

😭

also, any mod that works like https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1718 tesseraction?

or does anyone have a patched version of it for world?

[hearty wasp]

Does the lua not work

[mortal sphinx]

how do you update it exactly?

Be careful posting like that, as it can change some specific formatting. I suggest posting it as a code block using triple back ticks at start and end.

Never too late to learn. Although speaking of late, I was on my way out. Just wanted to make sure someone copying that bit, would not end up with issues

[covert glen]

Whats the mod manager yall use?

[cobalt condor]

Best to not use a mod manager with NMS

I just keep my mods folder pinned in windows, then rename mods to not have the .pak file extension if I want to disable them

[solid hawk]

💯 Mod managers have issues with NMS due to the way mods work in the game.

[ionic scarab]

Does anyone know of a working mod that makes npc chat instant? Even with the clicking through it still takes a while before you can interact with them. It's not bad when doing missions orsoemthing but when talking to mass amounts of npcs for learning languages etc its a nightmare heh

I know there use to be a mod for it years ago but can't remember name of it or even if it still works

[ionic scarab]

I found the mod I was looking for! =). It's called Fast Actions 6.5 for anyone else who was curious/wanting to try it. on nexus

[hot ember]

funnily enough I have zero problems using Vortex, installed a premade collection that gets updates a day after each patch and everything works
but yes, mod manually if you're not lazy like me

[brisk condor]

Hello, ive never been a person to do expeditions, but now that ive done a lot of content from the game i want to ask, is there a way to do old expeditions or get old expedition loot with mods?

I hate time limited things in games and i mostly play solo, can i mod my game to play old expeditions?

[viral oak]

there is a mod for it, yes
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2996

[fresh arch]

Or alternatively you can use other mods or save editors just to get the rewards directly

Also with service bot but thats under construction now

[real heron]

Hey guys whenever i start modding and wanting to save edit some stuff

Am o able to save edit the SS Normandy to be a different color????

[hearty wasp]

no

[real heron]

Oki :3

Wait am i able to edit the stats of frigates tho? I just thought of that

[solid hawk]

This is what you can edit for frigates. All you had to do was look, costs nothing to download and use. 🙂

[real heron]

Im on switch and dont have a computer TTwTT im planning on buying one which is why im asking questions

[rugged hill]

Is it terribly complicated to restore an old ship or old mods on ships? Mine was messed up doing the story quests in multiplayer and I lost everything I had on it

[solid hawk]

If you have a backup of the save, should be simple. If no backup, then you're redoing whatever you want done manually

[vague niche]

I'm curious, is there a mod that makes the filters on planets apply all the way? Currently, there's a radius around the player in which the filter doesn't apply

[steel crypt]

I don't think there is one, but one could be made.
The filters all have distance settings. Only some are that far away. Most start right around the player.

[woven crag]

theres no mod that changes the warp screen is there? i need it less flashy lol

[solid hawk]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/968?tab=description has a WarpFX mod .pak. Not yet updated for NMS 5.x though. Should be soon though. Last poster before you is the author and he's hard at work on it.

[steel crypt]

I can’t see anymore 😅
I’m updating something.

Getting a lot of positive feedback in the posts section on my NMS Decompressinator tool, it seems like it really does help a lot of people's game performance, that's neat

[signal wind]

Can BikeVehicleFuelRate go below 0.1? I lowered it, but its still crazy (maybe after 5.0 i dont know)

[plush bison]

Anyone can help me get the atlas staff through save editing?

P.S is it possible to mod ms store version ?

[hearty wasp]

Yeah

You can add the staff parts yourself with a save editor

[plush bison]

Yeah I’m having some trouble

I see nom nom has a multitool type atlas staff something but it isn’t applying

[fallow meadow]

Looks like NomNom may not have made it clear how to get the Atlas Staff. The drop-down list for type shows things that should not be there, making it confusing. The Atlas Sceptre is not an actual 'staff', but instead a rifle with a specific model/seed AND handling (specific tech functionality)

See image of mine here

I'd suggest to report this to the creator of NomNom (zencq) or to join their discord and mention/ask there.

okay so maybe the other save editor might work?

[fallow meadow]

You can try, at least it appears to show correctly in the selection. Do check for the proper tech it is supposed to come with though.

yeah ill check

[fallow meadow]

It will most likely only change the actual type, keeping everything else. That includes any base values

Under construction to make a 2nd instance

[fallow meadow]

Ah ok, I was not aware

[plush bison]

Sure ill look into save editing while it is still under construction

also what if i edit the account to make it available the option is there

[plush bison]

so is that a yes?

[fallow meadow]

If you add that on the Account Data, you should be able to get it from the QS Bot on the Anomaly

[plush bison]

sure then ill just get some QS easy enough

[signal wind]

?

[fallow meadow]

@plush bison It does not require QS, it is an expedition award

Here is a post that has all the expedition rewards listed: #nms-modding message

[plush bison]

My edits dont seem to be applying

when i hit save or save account it isnt greying out

is this an issue with the ms store version

[fallow meadow]

Are you trying with NomNom or NMSSE?

[plush bison]

NomNom

NMSSE isnt even detecting my save

[fallow meadow]

You could try to specify the path.

[plush bison]

it is the wgs/random number thing right?

[fallow meadow]

There may still be some issues with Account and saving in general. Certainly worth reporting any issues you may come across with the resepctive creator

I'll give you the path, one moment

For Game Pass, you will go a bit further than wgs, until you see a file called containers.index

Ok, hmmm. I can't really help you if it fails. As said, best to report such issues with the creator

[plush bison]

sure and any ideas for NomNom? it detects the saves just isnt actually editing them

[fallow meadow]

I am unable to verify as I do not own the MS version, and not aware of workarounds.

[plush bison]

the save option is supposed to grey out right?

[fallow meadow]

I can only hope the creators will fix these issues soon enough. There have been quite a few changes to the save data recently, on various platforms.

[fallow meadow]

Yes, it should. Not sure if it may still work regardless

[plush bison]

well i will keep trying

also does anyone have a seed for a large venator freighter?

[fresh arch]

Creative hub linked earlier has channels with seeds for stuff

[plush bison]

Worked!!

[fallow meadow]

Good to know, enjoy

[plush bison]

Welp i guess i just got access to all the expedition rewards thanks for the help!

[fallow meadow]

Not for me to decide, but save editors are known to be able to spoil you

[plush bison]

well i wont be using it anyway my expedition one is much stronger and i only need the editor for one more thing..

[solid hawk]

Venator is a mod based thing and the mod is completely broken for NMS 5.0. Author is working on fixing mods, but may take awhile. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2200

[plush bison]

I meant the base game freighter that looks like a venator

[solid hawk]

[trim bough]

Is there any mod that shows exactly where hotspots are?

So you don’t have to roam around the planet endlessly

Finding good hotspots takes a lot of time

[hardy aurora]

@blissful gale

No gifs in this channel please

[earnest lagoon]

Any mods that let me start on that nice planet in the trailer instead of that dump of a toxic trash heap?

[trim bough]

No but u don’t really need a mod for that. You can always use NMS service bot to get taxied to nice planet. U can find nice planets shared on r/NMSCoordinateExchange or u can check out #explorers-archive

[hearty wasp]

can't

[trim bough]

Can’t why is that

These hotspots like any other building or crash site should be already proceduraly generated right?

[fresh arch]

Can't add new logic / functionality with mods

Only tweak / shuffle existing values

The files we have access to and can modify are just tables of values / parameters used by functions locked in the game's executable

[hearty wasp]

buildings and hotspots are generated via 2 different systems

you can't use a metal detector to detect cocaine

[steel crypt]

I bet you someone has tried 😂

[drowsy solstice]

can someone with experience kindly help me learn or even point me in the direction of how to convert OGG to WEM

[fallow meadow]

I'd suggest to not try convert ogg to wem, as ogg is already a compressed format. Use an uncompressed format like .wav, then get Wwise, which is what .wem is from. Add audio, convert to .wem

Oh and I am sure there is someone with good knowledge on the wem specs in the NMS Modding Discord. Check the Audio Editor channel there.
Also this: https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/NoMansSky:Adding_or_Replacing_Audio

[steel crypt]

What mods for visuals and terrain?

[glass lake]

I'll send a list over but I've also done a lot of tweaking and combining

I use plumgen by lasagna which is super powerful

[drowsy solstice]

i was about to say the same thing, never trust any other sites but nexus, either the mods are untrusted or they are stolen

[glass lake]

I use the pu enhancedweatherfog and atomosphereunleashed for the visuals

Terrain I combined strange terrain, prime terrain, and bpg's better terrain

[solid hawk]

Personal use only, I assume. 🙂

Reason you don't see modpaks on Nexus is they aren't allowed by the rules. Depending on the permissions set by the mods you're using, the default being requires author permission, you have to get written permission to use from the authors of the mods included. This is a hassle, takes a long time, and in most cases the answer will be no. To get around this, use the Collection system, designed specifically to allow sharing lists of mods used, without requiring permission. https://next.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/collections?sortBy=total_downloads

[glass lake]

For now, I am not opposed to sharing

I am still working out some bugs, like desert planets all being barren.

[glass lake]

also ty! I also have some personal mods i added but I also tweaked others. Im assuming id need permission for the ones i combined/tweaked

[blissful gale]

can anyone help me build a base?

[hearty wasp]

try #no-mans-sky

[solid hawk]

#nms-base-building

[solid hawk]

If it's somebody elses mod, would need permissions in most cases. Much better off using Collections, as you don't need permissions then, just sharing a list of the mods you think work well together, which can tie-in with Vortex (Add a collection with Vortex, it'll take care of downloading the individual mod .paks.

[sonic bane]

Is there a way to get the starbornerunner ship if you missed that expedition

[plush bison]

Save edit your account and then claim it

Can also use this for the golden vector and all other expedition rewards

[shy grove]

You can use mods or a save editor for past expedition rewards. See this pin: #nms-modding message

Feel free to ask the channel more questions about those mods or save editors mentioned there

That's assuming you're on PC. Also see this Pin about modding and save editing depending on platform: #nms-modding message

[sonic bane]

Gotcha, and ya I’m on pc. Not sure how save editing works, but i’ll look into it

[fallow meadow]

On either save editor (NMSSE/NomNom) it merely requires checking a box for each reward. Just make sure to first of all have a backup of your saves, then always try to add these rewards on the Account, not the save itself. You should then be able to claim on the Anomaly, making note that Twitch rewards require being offline, no internet connection.

There have been some minor issues with both save editors due to changes made to the save data recently, so your mileage may vary. Report any issues with the developer of the tool used

[bronze ore]

Can save editor be used to change the model of freighter? (Sentinel, Pirate, Venetaor)

[solid hawk]

Yes

[vague niche]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3130?tab=description came across this newly released mod, seems pretty amazing!

[pallid elk]

Sorry for pinging but this mod doesn't work

im talking about the mining deposit using terrain manipulator,, other resources (using mining beam) multiplied just fine

[coral oriole]

noobie question, does nms understand only .pak files and when mods package ship with .lua or any subfolders its only meant for other to being able to change stuff on their own and build their own .pak?

[fresh arch]

Game reads data only from PAK files

LUA scripts and standalone files are used to compile the proper mod PAK file using AMUMSS

And yeah if you know what you're doing you can modify the LUS script to customize the mod

[undone swan]

Hey @slow river I'm the one who submitted the bug report on the decompressinator

I should note that I tried it on the experimental branch

That's the BankSignatures.bin for the unpacked files

[slow river]

@undone swan Thanks I'll take a look at it in a bit when I'm at my PC

[left bobcat]

is there a mod that allows you to scale base parts like you can with the scaling glitch?

omits the tedious part of the glitch so you can build mega-bases

[dapper jay]

is there a mod that allows for freighters to defend you? and do damage?

[slow river]

@undone swan Well I can confirm it's not your Bank Signitures file crashing the game, so that's good

Do you have any other mods loaded?

[olive cypress]

Sooo… I can’t seem to land a slot with the bot I was told about. ||Is a modder in here maybe willing to hand me off a packaged mod of the singularity engine from expedition 8? Pretty please? 🥹|| if not, feel free to ignore this <3

Unless that’s not possible and the bot is doing smth special lmao

[slow river]

@undone swan from the signitures list it looks like your TexMisc pak might be corrupt

Try redownloading the stock game files from Steam and try running it again

I'm wondering how this is possible tbh, did you try running this on a drive with only barely enough space left?

[fallow meadow]

I would suggest Beyond Base Building https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1096
Allows to scale most parts and place parts anywhere (planet parts on freighter and the other way around). Only uses vanilla parts, so all works with Multiplayer too. There may be other mods that work too, have a search on Nexus Mods, see what you like, but make sure it was updated since Worlds 5.0 was released.

[solid hawk]

Did you rebuild\update your mods for the new Experimental build on Friday?

[solid hawk]

Beyond Base Building. Be aware, scaling breaks snapping, so free placement will become your best friend. Edit: Didn't see Devilins Post when I hit send. lol

[fallow meadow]

I have heard mixed reports. Could be the bot is being worked on, or some other issue. For support with this bot, please check their Discord though

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[slow river]

Decompressinator should work on all version of NMS fine, even experimentals- although from his BankSignitures file, it looks like his entire TexMisc got yeeted somehow, which doesn't really make sense, unless he ran it on a dying disk or a disk with borderline no space left

[solid hawk]

Nope

[dapper jay]

that sucks

[solid hawk]

Currently bot is closed to non Paetron. Combination of this massive uptick in returning and new players for Worlds pt. 1 and background work happening to add-in another server for load balancing.

[solid hawk]

Correct. Not really related to Decompressinator, but have to update mods MUCH more often when using Experimental. Could have explained the crash, but TexMisc being MIA is probably what did it.

[slow river]

Yeah according to his banks file, his TexMisc file became 4kb after running decompressinator which is not what it should be, it should be like 12GB or something like that lol

this makes me think he ran the script with barely any space left

I will validate that it's not breaking on the experimental anyway but I'm pretty sure this was user error of some sort

Random but does the Experimental have it's own Anomaly?

Last time I was on there in the experimental it seemed like it was only steam players ever.

[ebon cosmos]

Well, experimental is available only for steam

[slow river]

I more so mean, does the Experimental only stick you in the anomaly with other users of the Experimental, rather than with all players- I guess if the game just only does stuff on a per-version basis that would make sense

[slow river]

Confirmed it works fine on the Experimental so yeah that must've been some kind of user error

[fallow meadow]

In most cases the game build versions are not compatible, which will then have it's own MP server instancing. Happens with other platforms too, not specifically Steam Experimental, but being a Steam only test branch, pretty common

[slow river]

ah

[undone swan]

Thanks, will try this

[undone swan]

..oops...?

I should've had enough according to the estimate of the final GB it would take on the mod page

clearly that was not the case

[tulip thorn]

@iron quail https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1181

[iron quail]

Outdated. Makes game crash

[tulip thorn]

Ah, my bad

[iron quail]

No worries. Hoped the game would have a config file i can crank up draw distance/LOD with :P

All the mods for that are dead 😭

[slow river]

There is overhead if you don't run it with -no-backup of whatever the decompressed size of the largest archive is

I haven't figured out the exact math but my guess is +15GB of headroom

I think with -no-backup I think that drops to about 5GB of headroom or so

I added a note about it to the instructions

[drowsy solstice]

anyone know why these images won't change ingame?

SELECTGAME.DDS & SELECTMULTI.DDS

i have done everything exactly the same as i did back when Echoes came out but it seems something has changed or am i missing something simple

the steps i have taken are as follows

-1 extract the images
-2 change the images
-3 saved as a DDS
-4 repacked with the folder structure TEXTURES\UI\FRONTEND\BACKGROUNDS
-5 placed the .pak file in the MODS folder

yet nothing changes ingame.

[solid hawk]

Make certain you are using the exact same compression and whatnot settings as the original. If the original was BC1, Linear, DXT1, then your edited one better have those exact same settings.

Also, make certain filename, including extension, is all caps.

After working forever, NMS 5.x has been breaking some TEXTURE mods. Still don't know exactly why or what's changed. In my case, was a TEXTURE mod, untouched since NMS 2.16.

[drowsy solstice]

ah ok i will give it another look and see, thanks

ok it was the extension, the .DDS was in lowercase, that fixed it, thanks @solid hawk

[solid hawk]

You're welcome. Glad it's fixed. 🙂

Hii

Is it possible to export ships with NomNom save editor? I know is possible with Goat save editor but I don't know how to do it with NomNom

[solid hawk]

lower right corner of the screenshot

Many of the questions asked, could be answered significantly faster by just looking. 🙂 You didn't have to wait for 2.5 hours. Could have just opened up the free NomNom editor. Answer in less than a minute.

Not trying to pick on you specifically, just saying for future reference. Look first, then ask as needed.

[umbral trail]

Yeah the thing is I have seen this already but when I click on backup the ship is not exported, I know that is supposedly to be saved on collections file but there is nothing there

I tried to save the ships, multitools and pets and nothing happens

I didn't know if I was doing something wrong

Is it bugged?

Is it working for you right now? For me it isn't, I usually use goatfungus save editor but the editor is not working for Microsoft store version

That's why I tried exporting with NomNom but it's not working for me

[solid hawk]

checking

Yep, you're right, not working. Kudos for catching that.

Here's the official NomNom Discord, where the developer, Zencq, is. If you wish to report. https://discord.gg/nomnom-762409407488720918

No, Goatfungus is a Github page, but can report issues. https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor

Brandon usually checks a couple of times a month

[iron quail]

Do you guys know if the ground textures in the game is image based, or if it's vector based? As i realized how low res the world textures are, and if they are sprites/PNG based, i want to go ham on them with A.I and upscale/generate new, but retain their looks

[sharp drift]

Thank you very much!

[hearty wasp]

I don't think there's much stuff being "vector" based in game other than fonts and UI shapes

but yeah ground is texture

Sean mod modifies them

[iron quail]

Sean mod? @hearty wasp

And i found the textures from my earlier unpacking, and plan to experiment a bit with them, if i hypothetically make all the mips the same size as the largest, then the furthest away mip in the game will have the same visuals as when close up, right? 🤔

[hearty wasp]

I'm not sure if it's changed but ground testures used to be volumetric textures or whateverthefuck they're called

but they used mipmap layers for different textures

[iron quail]

Aye. As i wanna try to mod the game for way higher res textures, as well as locating the resolutions for voxels if possible, but also tessalation resolution, as this shit's too sharp for me xD

Is there a list somewhere of what each texture is appointed for somewhere?

[hearty wasp]

iirc it's the files within METADATA\SIMULATION\SOLARSYSTEM\TEXTURES

in your unpack

[reef pawn]

I heard it's possible to mod old expeditions to be playable? Is there a YouTube video or something that would give a guide on how to do that?

I think some mods have a .lua file that you can use to rebuild for the latest version though?

[tulip thorn]

Oooo, keep me updated on whatever texture work you end up doing, if you're able to build a shareable mod file I've also been itching for better textures.

[drowsy solstice]

try this mod, i use this. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1316

[tulip thorn]

That depends, what's the original texture supposed to be? That new one looks like wet glass, or maybe an oil painting.
What are you using to upscale the textures? You could try using one of the new SD models with img2img features, high resolution output and the description of the texture as a prompt.

[iron quail]

Same lol. And yep! Slowly trying to make stable diffusion achieve the same, but less photoshop "repeat of the same sprite stroke"

Left OG, right SD recreated

[tulip thorn]

Hmm not bad, though still rather blurry

Try ControlNet?

[drowsy solstice]

my old ass eyes can't see a difference lol

[hearty wasp]

ngl you should try to replace one in game to make sure you can do it first

[iron quail]

That's why i'm working on this one piece of texture.

Actually, i should do one for the space stations first lol. Trying to find the one texture i'm working on will be deadass hard xD

[hearty wasp]

Oh is it the same one as above lol

[tulip thorn]

BTW what are yalls favorite ReShade shaders/settings for this game? Thinking about checking that out

[hearty wasp]

I realise that now the first one was zoomed in

[iron quail]

Aye :P the other one earlier was just upscale with a model.

[hearty wasp]

Space station will actually be easier since we know it uses a single diffuse texture and not packed in a weord way like terrain textures are

[iron quail]

Aye

[hearty wasp]

Caveat is that it use SSR I thinj

[tulip thorn]

Space station textures look half-decent already imo so it might be hard to notice a difference. Look for the textures for crashed freighers, those are mush lol

[hearty wasp]

There's a reshade category on Nexus Mods unfortunately not many uses reshade here so if no one gets back to you Nexus is your next best bet

[tulip thorn]

fair enough, thank ya

[iron quail]

I'm also gonna do a regen of the textures to be hella fuckin uncanny, but highres as all balls xD did that with mindustry once. Though, to achieve this, i need to find out what the OG res the pixels in the original textures of NMS was,then regenerate as higher res from there

[tulip thorn]

wow amumss is a lot to take in

[iron quail]

@tulip thorn Testing a upscale model to be 4x upscaled does chum down on the video memory xD

[iron quail]

I shall try that one 🤔

[tulip thorn]

Damn, thats a lotta VRAM
What GPU(s)?

[iron quail]

One 3090. Got it because i was tired of running out of vram on my 2080. These days, i want games with higher res textures to look fab xD Or making draw distance way more if i can easily get 140 fps, like in no mans sky. I also used this one to see if it will reduce stutters
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3126

Decompresses the game but packs them back in PSARC uncompressed to put less strain on cpu cycles, which hopefully reduces/eliminates the mad freezes/stutters i get whenever i exit atmosphere and enter space. Though, i think that may be partially to blame as my gpu's on x4 lanes atm due to my stupid ass decade old 10Gbit card that needed top slot to function lol.

So game went from 18.6GB to taking 44GB xD

[tulip thorn]

the mad freezes/stutters i get whenever i exit atmosphere and enter space
I actually just found such a mod on my own for that too lol https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2812

[iron quail]

Hah :P Probably does the same.

Though, i still wanna find a mod, or no idea if i ever get to make one/find the damn files which dictates tessalation resolution, and voxel resolution to look less cubic.

[tulip thorn]

I didnt even know this game had voxels lol

[iron quail]

If it's manipulateable terrain, it's voxel :P

[tulip thorn]

Oooh

[iron quail]

So the only non voxel stuffs there is plants, beings, ships, buildings and rocks, and some asteroids

So all of the voxels are all randomly generated. If you find a planet that has been discovred, then i think you simply download that planet's terrain data from the servers, and not generating from random numbers.

[steel crypt]

There is nothing random about it. It’s proc gen. There is no terrain related data on a server. The data used to build the terrain is local. The terrain is built every time you see it. No finished terrain data is stored anywhere.

Being able to deform terrain doesn’t necessitate voxelgen. In this case voxelgen is used to make polys.

[iron quail]

Holy @tulip thorn@drowsy solstice holy crap, after decompressing the game files, it reduced the leaving atmosphere lag/freeze by 97%! Just barely noticed a hiccup!

[tulip thorn]

Oooo nice

[solid hawk]

Most actually

[solid hawk]

Not so bad https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2626

yeah, after a closer look just a lot of settings i can prolly safely ignore

[solid hawk]

Oddly enought, the game file for terrain generation is called VOXELGENERATORSETTINGS

[solid hawk]

[lime mesa]

is there a mod that adds realistic snow ?

[pulsar canopy]

Modders, you know how the game works, why can't you connect two power grids?

[pulsar canopy]

(Is it just game design, or is it something about the implementation that makes it impossible?)

[vale iron]

each power grid is inherently tied to a base in the save file. Linking them is just completely impossible

[pulsar canopy]

:(

[marble wedge]

Does anyone know of a mod that can remove the dorsal fin from some wing types in the game for custom ships? How hard would it be to make one if not?

[pulsar canopy]

You mean like in literally any other game? That's dumb, why can't there be a way to connect bases or something. If there is any connections, treat the bases as needing to load together when someone from multiplayer loads it. Then you can even turn the processes into counters, power into a simple yes/no statement, with one time calculated "off times" if there is intermittent power, and allow them to just tick in the background? I know implementing such functions is not a piece of cake, but I have seen it done, the bases and production machines just running a (Time passed) / (Time per product) = (Output) when the player opens it or changes something in the chain, otherwise just playing and stopping the animation when an unconnected series of timers tell it to. There isn't even any transfer bottle necks with conveyors that need complex formulas to predict hiccups!
Anyway, rant's over. Guess no usual megabase for me!

[pulsar canopy]

I now realise why all the bases I saw looked so tiny and ramshackle compared to other games I played. Why build a good base that is inherently limited by the engine, when you can have a mobile base in the way of the freighter. The bases are literally filler from the "promised infinity" times made to say that the game has base building, and you aren't supposed to build an actually functional base, as it's technically a legacy feature.

[pulsar canopy]

Sorry for sounding pretentious, I’m just salty as all heck.

[solid hawk]

Tell it to HelloGames. No one from there hangs here and nothing anyone here can do about it.

Here's the limits of NMS modding. We can change values for existing properties and sometimes repurpose existing code for similar purposes in static game files that are loaded at game start. We cannot add new features or any additional logic, or things that change during runtime.

There's no useable available api, so it's all basically static value changes.

[hearty wasp]

Can't

[hearty wasp]

You either yeet it from all ships that uses that wing or not at all

[marble wedge]

How would one do this?

[hearty wasp]

Wait for NMSDK to be fixed, import wing model (assuming it's a fighter wing because not all wings are in standalone scenes), delete whatever mesh you don't want, export, pack mod accordingly

[marble wedge]

Sweet. Never modded anything before but I've wanted to check it out for a while. I have some coding knowledge but I'm not sure how far that will get me with some games. Thanks for the info!

Modding NMS boils down to taking a game file, converting it into text based readable format, making changes, converging it back and packing up

This can be done manually with NMS modding station and text editor of your choosing

If you want to automate this process, you will want to look into apps like AMUMSS or NMS Mod Builder

Those compile mods based on scripts written in LUA or C# respectively

So that's the use case where experience in coding might come handy

[marble wedge]

Appreciate the info 🙏

I'll give that stuff a look and hopefully not get overwhelmed lmao

Thanks again 😁

[drowsy solstice]

decompress all the files and use this for ULTRA SMOOTH MCGROOVE https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2812

[iron quail]

How different is it from this one? Or is this one not decompressing the geometry? https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3126

[short olive]

Is there a mod that modifies crafting, to make it faster? FOr example: If I want to craft a Warp cell, I don't need to craft the antimatter, and the anti-matter housing. When I go to do the final product it automatically dos the pre-reqs, and crafts the final item, as long as I have the resources?

A similar Subnautica mod did this and it made the game so much more enjoyable

[hearty wasp]

can't really do that

[short olive]

Ah

[hoary lily]

Would it be possible to theoretically bring the old star skyboxes back? I've seen it said in multiple places that after the Prisms update (I think?), HG removed the accurate galaxy map based skybox in favour of a prettier one that no longer matches what you see in the galaxy map - which seems to hold true. Is it possible for a mod to fix that...?

[iron quail]

I'd think so. you just need to extract the PAK files convert DDS to PNG, replace old skybox textures, replace image with old, save, and pack back to a .pak you plop in mods folder. Same if there's scripts that the old game used, that you go over it's parameters and adjust to what old used to be

[dapper geyser]

Did anyone try the mod Better Planet Generation? I feel like with Worlds update the mod is kinda redundant because Hello Games put so much effort into the game?

[steel crypt]

Skybox is not a texture.
No, not possible to revert to old skybox.

[steel crypt]

NMS will not accept a image format that doesn’t match original.

[obtuse hill]

Hello, anyone knows a mod that Unlocks past rewards from Expeditions and similar ? Looked on Nexus this time but the one I found is from 2020 something ! Thank you !

[iron quail]

Not format, the image itself of the old game and replace the new one in the format it uses today

[iron quail]

@tulip thornTested separating each 256x256 texture of the mip map, and i think i can work them out to something stupidly high res xD Here's OG 256 vs 4096

Too bad i don't know what that texture's used for, so i can better prompt the damn thing

[tulip thorn]

Oh wow, that's crisp. Does it tile well?

maybe underwater rocky ground somewhere?

[iron quail]

No idea yet. First i need to make the entire bitmap become 16384x32768 xD

[tulip thorn]

ZAMN

[iron quail]

Gonna make a few versions. 2x, 4x, 6x, 8x and 16x maybe lol

Thankfully it looks to not use much textures at all, just recycle the same few with different shades. So won't take months :P

Oh, i know what i can experiment with. The tyres of the racing car thing xD

[iron quail]

@tulip thornTeaser for the tire of the buggy i will test with :P

[solid hawk]

No Lag Leaving Planets only repaks the Nexus files, without compression. NMS Decompressinator repaks everything, without compression

So Decompressinator will add around 40GB of disk space usage

No Lag Leaving Planets will add less than 100MB

[iron quail]

Same as decompressinator does too. My game is 44.8GB atm, and i deleted it's recompressed ones as i took a backup of the OG 18GB files

[solid hawk]

If you've the disk space to spare, will see some improvement across the board with Decompressinator

[tulip thorn]

Ooo.

[iron quail]

Got 6 ssd's and 9.5TB total space, if there's a game that needs more, i can just clear off some games i haven't played in a few years :P

You create an account, look up the mod and click on manual download

Don't bother with using Vortex or other mod managers, you don't need them for NMS

[tulip thorn]

looks fine to me

try it on a 3D model before you edit it any further id say

[iron quail]

Honestly don't know how to do that

[tulip thorn]

Hmm, know a lot about blender?

though thats a weird normal map-- its yellow instead of blue

a weird map if you will

[iron quail]

Never managed to remember to plap a texture onto a model in blender. Done it a few times before, but sadly with my adhd, my memory is all fucked, and i have to not brush up, but literally re-learn over and over lol

[tulip thorn]

Ah, fair

[iron quail]

I used to use blender all the time to fix up 3d models for 3d prints, but haven't fucked with textures since doughnut tutorial lol

[tulip thorn]

id do it but food poisoning is making brain difficult lol

[iron quail]

Ohh, i'm orung!

here we go! Now to toy with a tyre model

[iron quail]

What tool do i use to extract the models to something blender can read?

[solid hawk]

NMSDK

It's a Blender plugin

Will need to extract the game files from .pak too

[iron quail]

Thanks :) Also, how are the fixed up textures added to the game? And how do i throw them into a PAK?

[solid hawk]

https://discord.gg/22ZAU9H #nmsdk-blender channel

[iron quail]

Just drag the folder structure over to the compiler i unpacked with?

[solid hawk]

DDS TEXTURES aren't compiled

[iron quail]

Gotchu, so how are they added as a mod?

[solid hawk]

Yes, PSARCTool is drag\drop, for both unpaking and paking

[iron quail]

Ah ok, i used this one :P

[solid hawk]

Just make certain your DDS replacement is in the same relative gamne folder structure as the original vanilla file

[solid hawk]

Not for unpaking you didn't

In fact, with a DDS TEXTURE, MBINCompiler does nothing

It is solely for MBIN-->EXML, EXML-->MBIN

[iron quail]

Oh right, forgot it was part of the compressinator lol

So now it's ready for throwing into mods folder?

[solid hawk]

yep

[iron quail]

Neat! Time to spawn a buggy and take a look :P

[solid hawk]

You did make certain that your new TEXTURE is same format as original vanilla (BC1-->BC1, BC7-->BC7, etc), right? Also texture file in all caps, including DDS extension?

The above are common mistakes that will keep a texture replacement from working

[iron quail]

DDS extension, yep, but no idea what BC1 is. And what do you mean by "BC1-->BC1"?

This is the options i have in photoshop

[solid hawk]

If the original vanilla files compression format was BC1, then youor replacement must be as well. I don't use photoshop, not a millionaire. Way out of my price range. I believe you need to use some sort of NVidia plugin.

[iron quail]

Photoshop was just what i attempted with :P What do other modders use to properly get BC conversion?

And do you know if NMS can use higher res textures? Or does textures need to be the same resolution too? As then half the point of my modding is gone if resolution would screw it up xD

[solid hawk]

We'll continue on the modding Discord. pain in the butt flipping back and forth

[iron quail]

Dat be true, see ya there!

[solid hawk]

No reason to polute here with the details nobody else cares about

[iron quail]

Thankfully hands reach away for me

[drowsy solstice]

never used that before so im not sure how or if it differs from what i posted, my guess is they both do the same job 🙂

[lost pelican]

This is just one of many oddities I found. Is it really supposed to be like this and does it really work? 🤔 In this case, the file NMS_REALITY_GCPRODUCTTABLE.EXML

in the resource file there are three wings under one ID... I have not yet tested how it looks in the game, but, in my opinion, this should not happen

[solid hawk]

If it's like that in the vanilla file, as HelloGames made it, then it's meant to be like that. HG doesn't have bugs, ONLY features.

[solid hawk]

We don't ask "why" regarding anything HG does, because we will never know. All communication is one way, via Sean tweets and update release notes. All the info we get from HG. So, "why" is just guesses and conjecture.

[solid hawk]

Things have changed in the game files since that script was made.

Try this one

Be aware, this one is not 100% fixed. Some of the nodes referenced in the old script no longer exist in a couple of SCENE files.

SNAPPOINT_WALLTOP.SCENE & SNAPPOINT_WALLBOT.SCENE.MBIN probably won't work for tesseraction, but the rest should be ok

I was working on this over the weekend, by chance, which is why I had this ready to go, in the state it's in. As far as "fixing" those two SCENEs, that may not happen. All of the nodes referenced in the original script are no longer in the game files, HG took them out long ago. Would basically have to redo those SCENEs from scratch, which I don't want to do and don't have the spare time now to do, not my mod.

[wild axle]

guys whats the mod that puts all timers to 1min only? i want to skip this

[hearty wasp]

[wild axle]

alright thx!

[sterile kindle]

Hi, i replied my issue on your github but if its fine with you we can talk on discord. @slow river

[slow river]

@sterile kindle I'm not really sure what is causing the problem to be honest, my only guess is that it's trying to run in the wrong codepage or something?

Can you open a cmd window and run chcp and see what code page pops up?

the default one should be 437

but idk maybe your language pack stuff changes it?

I don't even know how to begin debugging this honestly

Interesting, okay it looks like this is actually a bug in NMSResign

I can fix this pretty easily I think

But I'll need you to A - B test with me to actually fix it I think so I'll probably ping you when I am able to code for a bit later

[slow river]

Hmm, guess they're offline.

I guess to add context for any onlookers- https://github.com/cheatfreak47/NMSDecompressinator/issues/8

trying to debug this problem

[kindred schooner]

NMSSE, on Devuan stable, does not work with Java 8, throwing an error:
Exception in thread "main" java.awt.AWTError: Assistive Technology not found: org.GNOME.Accessibility.AtkWrapper
This is despite libatk-wrapper-java being installed.

It does work with the current default Java (17). (I've not tested Java 21, which is the default in unstable, but I have no reason to think that it wouldn't work.)

Additionally, old Devuan (etc.) releases aside, Java 8 is only avalable in unstable (could be due to bugs, could be due to eventual scheduled removal; I don't know), and is therefore not a good choice as a requirement.

[kindred schooner]

Also, Java 8 is obsolete.

[mortal sphinx]

I see, though youve given me a valuable part that i forgot! the old nodes. thank you

[solid hawk]

If you take the fixes to the script further and can correlate the now removed node names with the "new" ones, for these two files, please let me know.

[mortal sphinx]

of course, but im still a beginner on this sector unfortunately

[lunar spade]

[lunar spade]

EXCELLENT THANKS FOR THE INFO !!! 🙂

[lunar spade]

Is it possible to customize the mod, i really only need the galaxy map part for instance, or is it a take it all or leave it kind of mod?

[solid hawk]

Yes you can...

[lunar spade]

EXCELENT, thanks 🙂

[solid hawk]

Process through amumss to generate the .pak

I've commented out everything exact the galactic map and the new emojis

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

[lunar spade]

I'm new to tryingto mod this game, i dont see any required file for the mod on the nexus page, what is amumss?

[lunar spade]

nvmd haha

[solid hawk]

The above is a script to regenerate the mod .pak. AMUMSS is the processing program which takes .lua scripts and turns them into NMS mod .paks

Besides for customizing, also useful to potentially self update abandoned mods and to combine\merge conflicting mods, where otherwise you're limited to one mod .pak per game file

[ionic hollow]

Is there a way to edit the mesh of base objects in Blender in a way where it will actually appear that way in the game? Because all I can really do is resize the entire thing only

[solid hawk]

If you're Blender skills and patience are good enough

NMSDK blender plug-in to allow importing\exporting NMS game models

[ionic hollow]

I'm decent with Blender, the model just doesn't show as stretched in the game after I edit it in there

I'm using the base builder plugin

[solid hawk]

Currently in beta, as NMS 5.x completely broke it

This artifact build from this morning fixes importing...https://github.com/monkeyman192/NMSDK/actions/runs/10285721003?pr=103

[solid hawk]

No clue about the base builder plugin. Actually I think that's more what you need. I was thinking you wanted to removel the object SCENE

No. just trying to put base objects together

Ok, let me try help you in #964865106334875698 , as this requires some advanced save editing and likely quite a bit of explaining to do

[open sparrow]

does anyone have a save file i can download with a fully maxed out ship and multi tool i just want to explore but want the ship to be maxed out

[solid hawk]

If you want that so badly, just have to use a save-editor and can give yourself those things.

[placid birch]

Hello, ive heard there is a mod to remove the irritating splash screen that has to be cleared with TAB everytime you hop into a system. Im like a week new to nms. and know 0 about modding. so if anyones willing to help me with this i would be greatly appreciative.

[solid hawk]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1628

That one?

[placid birch]

thx you. thats the message i hate

see if i can figure out how to implement it.

[solid hawk]

In your NMS Install\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS folder, do two things

1. Create a folder called MODS

2. Delete or rename the file called DISABLEMODS.TXT

Take the .pak in the mod download and place it into that MODS folder.

Should be good to go

[placid birch]

no issues with multiplayer or anything afterwards?

[solid hawk]

With NMS, mods are local. Don't really impede MP, other than people with and without mods may see different stuff

But for the above mod, absolutely zero difference

[placid birch]

thx you

[timid fjord]

So ive tried two diffrent editors. I can see my saves but both claim the are corrupt. Is it because its still an expedition save? This is gamepass.

[solid hawk]

Are you running latest version of the game, NMS 5.03. Would also show build number as 126771 in the lower left of the screen where you select Play or Join Friends. If stuck on an older version, might explain it. Or if you are on latest version of the game, but haven't loaded these saves in awhile, could also explain it. HG changes formatting in the game saves every so often. Save-editors aren't backwards (or forwards) compatible. So, if either of the above scenarios sounds like the case, you want to:

1. Ensure your game is updated to latest
2. Load saves in-game. This will update the saves to latest formatting.
3. Make certain you are using latest versions of save-editors and not some old copy that was sitting around on your drive from two years ago. The editors themselves need updating every major NMS update.

[timid fjord]

Both look up to date. I can edit things accout side on the saves for quicksilver unlocks. Confirmed it worked with the fireworks and some of the stickers. But nom nom wont allow the actual save to be opened for item edits. Ill double check again here in a min

[open sparrow]

ya i was trying to use the save editor and got a little confused on adding the technologies to my ship

Can anyone point me in the right direction to find where the ship building station gets its values when assembling a new custom ship?

[limber pine]

Hi I'm new here! I'm not actually modding, but I'm working on creating an in-game questline that will have interaction in the form of short youtube videos players are directed to as they reach each new point of the quest. Anyone know of anyone else doing something like this, or maybe a community creating this kind of NMS non-modding quest content that I might connect with? Thanks!

[hearty wasp]

What "values"

[hearty wasp]

Think this server's made a community quest before, asking in #no-mans-sky should yield better exposure to the right ppl

#the-fall-chapter-2 or sth like that

[hollow glen]

the "rules" or framework for the damage potential, Shield Strength, hyperdrive range and maneuverability values... I know the results are affected by the ship part and by the station you're building in. I wanted to dive into seeing if I could see the tables or functions it uses to come up with those values.

[hearty wasp]

I'm not sure they do

or at least I'm not sure it's directly set per part

it's prolly just proc gen via a hash or index or someshit

only thing direclty set in the files is the inventory type and ship class

[hollow glen]

Even the procgen would have to have some kind of parameters to operate by right? Surely it isn’t all random… right?

I found where all the ship part types etc are but I couldn’t find any mentioning of the ship customization in any of the mbins.

[hearty wasp]

maybe but not necessarily in the files

could be hardcoded

like just almost all model proc gen in game

if you wanna see for yourself you can look at METADATA\GAMESTATE\PLAYERDATA\CHARACTERCUSTOMISATIONDESCRIPTORGROUPSDATA.MBIN and METADATA\GAMESTATE\PLAYERDATA\MODULARCUSTOMISATIONDATATABLE.MBIN

[steel crypt]

The objects location is used for proc gen on a lot of objects. The parameters for those would be location and seed. Both of which are in memory and exe. Nothing about proc gen is random.

Sometimes the data is not accessible to modding.

[fresh arch]

Having made 2 mods for the starship fabricator, I don't recall seeing anything that would dictate the stats for assembled ships

The files that QP mentioned earlier mostly link parts / products with ship model nodes to be activated

And have some other properties for setting colours / textures

[limber pine]

Thank you!

[hollow glen]

So where would you look? Surely there are some parameters it follows, somewhere.

[hearty wasp]

the game binary I guess

good luck with that tho

[fresh arch]

Nowhere because IMO assembled ships have the same ranges of stats as fabricated ones

So if you were to change that, all naturally spawning ships would be affected

[hollow glen]

So, random procgen simply based on the ship type, economy, rnd roll? That certainly would be more simplistic wouldn’t it.

[fresh arch]

No, refer to the post by Jason early on

[hollow glen]

Actually now that I think about it, the location doesn’t really affect anything… it’s simply a dice with modifiers.

[fresh arch]

Seed value defines the ship properties, we have no way of changing how those are assigned

[hollow glen]

Jason? Sorry, just joined. What would I search to find his comments?

[hollow glen]

I’d be satisfied seeing the seed values honestly, just something to inspect/consider.

[fresh arch]

I meant this: #nms-modding message

For seed values you will need some other mod or a save editor

[hollow glen]

Ahh, I see. Didn’t catch the entirety of that earlier. Thank you

[fresh arch]

But nothing will let you affect the stats on fabricated ships

[hollow glen]

I’ve been using mbincompiler and NMS modding Station. Are you saying something more than that?

Yeah, not trying to modify anything presently.

[fresh arch]

No, we are telling you modding NMS is limited, we can't affect the core functionality of the game

All we can do is edit parameters used by the functions residing in game's executable, which we have no access to

Doesn't matter which modding tools you use, you can only do so much as change some values and parts for the fabricator, that's all

[hollow glen]

Gotcha! Thank you

Good evening. I was told that i could get help here in replaying the Expeditions that are not available.

[gilded basalt]

does anyone know how hard creating a mod for nms is? I have an interesting idea but I'm not sure how long it would take to actually implement lol

[coral oriole]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2672
is there any reason why this isn't implemented in game natively?

[hearty wasp]

#nms-modding message

[hearty wasp]

depends on your knowledge on markup languages, lua/c#, and general versitility in navigating layers of stuff

possibility-wise it ranges from easy to impossible

you should elaborate on your idea first

[gilded basalt]

i've coded a bit in unity before so I know some C#, but i'm better with stuff like Java or C++

[dawn bane]

Okay, thank you. But I still need help with what I need to do because I have no idea and I don't want to break anything.

[gilded basalt]

my idea is to pretty much overhaul settlements with more options on the stuff you can do, but the thing that I'm not sure if it's feasible is using an AI model to create unique disputes and choices to make, and have those choices actually have some sort of impact

i've never done modding on any game so I'm not sure how far it can be pushed

[hearty wasp]

then you can go pretty far w/ scripting using NMSMB, farness depends on what you're trying to achieve

[gilded basalt]

well I'll get into some tutorials tomorrow and see what works and what doesn't, will share progress here if there's any

[hearty wasp]

there's this section in the link the message I linked linked

[dawn bane]

Okay I'll go check

[hearty wasp]

prolly can't tbh

I guess it's entirely possible to make up new disputes within the existing system but you'll still be stuck w/ 2 choices

[gilded basalt]

oh yeah 2 choices still works, it's just the idea of having them be AI-generated and unique

[dawn bane]

Okay that sounds simple enough. But when I'm finished with the expeditions. How do I revert back to the normal game? Or do the files replace themselves when I launch it in "online" mode again? If they do then will I still be able to collect the rewards or will they revert back to "need to do the expedition #"?

[hearty wasp]

I mean unless you want stuff to be generated on the fly it sounds possible

[dawn bane]

I'm sorry if I'm asking too many stupid questions ;-;

[steel crypt]

Yes.
You can see conversations about it here.
Causes game size to increase.
Causes bad performance on some systems.

In other words, might be good for you and others, but not good for the spectrum of systems NMS runs on. Especially when it’s just for the first load until culling because after the first load it gets loaded from memory anyway.

[coral oriole]

got it, thanks

[dawn bane]

Okay so i tried modding it but i can't find the file i need to replace anywhere
