my game crashed due to low memory, i clicked yes to set graphics to default and now my mods wont load anymore

#

Check the mod settings file in No Man's Sky/Binaries/Settings

#

Either set DisableAllMods to false or delete the whole file so game can regenerate it

ah yup

I'm trying to add a mod, but when I go into my PCBANKS folder, there is no disablemods.txt file for me to edit. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

nvm i just found the modding document

In addition to what FriendlyFire said in the post below yours, this is not a Bethesda game. Severe and strict limitations on what mods can do in NMS. We can change values for existing properties in static data files loaded at game start. That's it. Cannot change anything hardcoded, introduce or change logic or add anything new

#

Go to the site for your mod editor of choice and look for a download link. It's not difficult.

#

FYI: Most videos will almost always be out of date

Also related to photography, does anyone know how to use/grab a frame from the birds eye zoom out animation cam that happens when you place a base computer?

Is there a working mod that expands building ability (for example, placing snapable floors at an angle)? Tesseraction hasn't been updated.

Eucli-ea comes with it

and no I won't make it standalone

charred glen
# hearty wasp Eucli-ea comes with it

I'm running public 5.57, not experimental 5.58 so I can't use the PAK on Nexus. It seems the latest uploaded Eucli-ea AMUMSS script is from Oct 24, is this compatible with Worlds II? It didn't compile for me (combining with RecTUM)

hearty wasp
#

it's not a pak anymore

#

you can also just download the previous version

#

that's what the Old files section is for

#

tbh I'm not even sure if the current version doesn't work in public

cos if it doesn't people would've definitely complained

Just curious to ask but Is it possible to mod random pirate encounters/battles or is that another problem on it being separate?

#

[I don't know modder terms, Sorry]

#

With planetary raids, it's just a min and max timer, possibly with conflict level adjustments. For bounty missions, those are tied to mission objective, so you would just need to adjust those how you want - no way to make those random without a mission

charred dome
#

gotcha, Non-modder view, It sounds more like a deep dive to find it all and to combo it without the whole thing just Breaking something important

#

Will cross my fingers and Hope Bounty stuff can pop up a little more with luck

vale iron
#

Oh, you could increase the rate of bounty missions on the mission boards

fresh arch
#

Yeah nothing that could make random space battles

#

Even if were to use a background mission, I doubt there are ways to force spawn a freighter battle

#

There is a component to spawn pirates though

Hey, I'm going through the tech table to make a google sheets to document all the tech stat ranges, but I came across this:

            <Property name="ID" value="UP_RBSUIT" />
            <Property name="Template" value="T_ROBOSUIT" />
            <Property name="Group" value="UI_ROBOSUIT_NAME_L" />
            <Property name="Name" value="UP_RBSUIT" />

                <Property name="ProceduralTechnologyCategory" value="Protection" />
            </Property>``` and was curious as to what this "ROBOSUIT" tech was. I'm not actually trying to mod, but I figured you guys would have a better chance of knowing than me asking in [#nms-questions](/guild/146101654981312513/channel/471868642204712971/)

Maybe sentinel upgrades?

rough stratus

No, there's already specifically a sentinel exosuit upgrade before this one, which is why I was confused when this was next

You can always reference the text objects like UP_ROBOSUIT_DESC in localization files

I'm trying to recreate a freighter base I saw on yt, and in it they use Legacy Parts.

I'm on Xbox, and bk201 told me I should be able to obtain that save file on PC (I do have game pass ultimate, so that helps), and then use a save editor to unlock access to those Legacy Freighter parts, then that should carry over back to Xbox.

I've got reasonable PC experience, but no idea how to go about any of this specifically.

I don't know which of the pinned posts here, if any, are what I need, so would someone be willing to point me to the specific resources I need to do this, or walk me through it themselves?

fresh arch
#

There are links to save editors (NomNom or Goatfungus) in pinned messages

#

You'd need to use them to unlock the "knowledge" of freighter legacy parts for your save data

#

Not sure how it's done exactly cause I dont dabble with save editing much

#

I think for Goatfungus it's the Discovery tab - Known Products list

final hazel
#

Goatfungus doesn't work with Xbox PC unless that's changed in the last 6 months

fresh arch
#

You can add these with Add Product button

#

No idea about that, PC Steam here

final hazel
#

NomNom is similar enough though

fresh arch
#

They claim fixing Xbox files half a year ago

final hazel
#

Hey well that's something I didn't know!

#

Neat!

I'm currently hung up on trying to get goatfungus' save editor to see where my save file is

topaz magnet
#

because I'm trying to edit my Xbox save file

fallow meadow
#

See above for locations per platform

topaz magnet
fallow meadow
#

Ah, ok, so you do need the Xbox location, sorry, misunderstood

topaz magnet
#

I'm just surprised AppData isn't showing up as an option in the save editor file search system

fallow meadow
#

Or open it first, without selecting anything after.

topaz magnet
#

oh, so I should consider that folder to be my "save file"?

#

but again, how do I navigate the save editor to it considering idk where to direct it to at this stage

image.png
fallow meadow
#

Well, it can have multiple saves too and likely will as each save slot has 2 save files (with matching metadata in most cases)

topaz magnet
#

makes sense

#

so if I copy that folder out to my desktop, I could direct the save editor to it there

fallow meadow
#

Microsoft does things in a special way.

topaz magnet
#

it sure does

fallow meadow
#

%LocalAppData%\Packages\HelloGames.NoMansSky_bs190hzg1sesy\SystemAppData\wgs copy that and put into the 'search', to directly browse there. Then go from there. In some cases you'll have to make hidden files/folders visible

topaz magnet
#

sure, I can get there in File Explorer

#

but I can't point the Save Editor there

#

I feel like there's one silly little step I'm missing

fallow meadow
#

The first part with the percentage signs, is basically a variable, pointing to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local

topaz magnet
#

ye

fallow meadow
#

You have to do this from within the save editor

topaz magnet
#

I'm not seeing where to do that

fallow meadow
#

Top left should show 'File'

topaz magnet
#

there's no place for me to paste a folder path

fallow meadow
#

There is no pasting, correct

topaz magnet
#

so where from here

#

next should be AppData

#

but it's not there

fallow meadow
#

Top icon with the arrow-up folder to the left of the House icon

topaz magnet
#

right

#

then into my C drive right?

fallow meadow
#

Yes

topaz magnet
fallow meadow
#

Sorry, I think you were already in the user folder. So it is not showing hidden folders?

#

You use NMSSE, right?

topaz magnet
topaz magnet
fallow meadow
#

Let me open up NMSSE and follow along to see what is going wrong

topaz magnet
#

ty

fallow meadow
#

When you open up your user folder, there appears to not be an AppData folder

topaz magnet
#

looks that way yea

fallow meadow
#

Not visible anyway, so for some reason it is hidden. For all I know, NMSSE should show them regardless though

topaz magnet
#

that's why I'm thinking I should copy/paste that folder out to my desktop, work on it there, then copy/paste it back to its original location

#

maybe

fallow meadow
#

I think this must be some sort of system setting that does not allow an application to show this?

#

You are the first I ever see this happen with

topaz magnet
#

very likely I've done something in the past to do this yea lol

fallow meadow
#

Let me try to think of a workaround

topaz magnet
#

yay, I'm special!

#

I copied that folder out to my desktop

#

directed NMSSE to it, and it can tell what it is

#

so I'm gonna try editing like that, then copy and overwrite the original in the game save location

fallow meadow
#

Yes, it should be able to pick up on the full path pasted within the File Name section

topaz magnet
#

I appreciate you being a sounding board to run this through

fallow meadow
#

I think we may be able to get this working properly, instead of the other way around

topaz magnet
#

oh, which of these should I edit?

image.png
fallow meadow
#

Hang on, let us do this properly. Can you open up the NMSSE location?

#

I have a better idea

topaz magnet
#

okey

fallow meadow
#

Open up NMSSaveEditor.conf

topaz magnet
#

okok

fallow meadow
#

Yes, we are going ot put the correct path into the config instead

topaz magnet
#

open with like notepad++?

fallow meadow
#

Sure, any text editor will do

topaz magnet
#

ahh, I see what you're getting at

fallow meadow
#

Just make sure to escape the backslashes

#

So they become double slashes

#

That's all

topaz magnet
#

ok one sec

fallow meadow
#

I do not have GamePass myself, but let me see which folder it should have

topaz magnet
#

how's that look?

fallow meadow
#

It will need one or more steps deeper into the folder path

#

Just one it looks like, so it takes that long alphanumerical name last.

topaz magnet
#

makes sense, one sec

fallow meadow
#

Looks good to me

topaz magnet
#

alrighty let's see how it goes

#

hmm, program didn't pick it up, asking for save location again

#

I saved the config file

fallow meadow
#

Hmmm, should it not be ...\AppData\Local\Packages\...?

#

Instead of 'LocalPackages'

#

Of course with the escaped slashes

topaz magnet
#

oh oop

#

lemme try

#

aha beauty

#

it loaded that automatically

fallow meadow
#

Cool, now it works like it should, saving you a lot of copying back/forth as a workaround

topaz magnet
#

much more convenient yes

topaz magnet
#

now back to this

#

probably edit the Auto eh, since that's what the game's going to want to load?

fallow meadow
#

The game always loads the latest save, which could be either

topaz magnet
#

hmm

#

last thing I did was exit my ship at the Space Anomaly

fallow meadow
#

That would be manual then

topaz magnet
#

excellent

fallow meadow
#

Even then it could still be auto, if you did anything after

topaz magnet
#

rather, stick with the most recent as listed by date in the editor?

#

true ye, just seeing that Auto is today, Manual is last night

fallow meadow
#

Here is a trick for you ... especially useful with how NMSSE works and sticks with your choice

#

Do you have multiple save 'slots' ?

topaz magnet
#

I've got a Normal and a Permadeath

fallow meadow
#

Cool, always select from the slot drop-down. If you want ot make sure you have the latest save, switch to a different save slot and back again. The save editor will then automatically pick the latest used save

topaz magnet
#

aha it did indeed

#

well

#

I think I should be good from here

#

obv Save Changes when I'm done

fallow meadow
#

If not, do not hesitate to ask for assistance again

topaz magnet
#

then fire up the game on my PC, which should upload that save to the cloud

#

look, you've been very helpful and patient with me, I greatly appreciate it :)

fallow meadow
#

Sounds about right.

#

You're welcome, good luck

topaz magnet
#

for the purpose of adding in the Legacy Freighter parts, I assume I should look through the Add Products list and make sure I grab everything with "Freighter" in the name?

#

omg these parts, I missed them so much 😭

@solid hawk i was wondering if you had updated your portals on stations mods, as that was one of the most time saving mods

runic edge
#

I'm not a fan of the weapon changes in this mod, I've done a bit of coding for an open source game. How hard would you say it would be if I coded a new upgrade module for the living ship

#

Or made the sub light amplifier living ship compatible

fresh arch
#

The latter would be one property swap, could be done with an EXML patch mod with couple lines

#

The earlier idea - depends

#

You can reuse the stats from existing technology modules, you can't introduce new ones

#

So let's say you could create a Living Ship variant of the infra knife or rockets

#

But not a whole ass new weapon type that's not present in current game

runic edge
#

👍

#

Making the module I want living ship compatible seems like the best option

I don't know if we have any resources for making mods pinned here, prolly not

fresh arch
#

This is where you can get instructions on how to decompile game files to start making mods

runic edge
#

What is the difference between exml and mbin

fresh arch
#

Mods can include modified MBIN files which replace whole vanilla MBIN files the game uses

#

EXML files contain only changed bits of the original MBIN files

#

Depending on the file and scale of the mod, the EXML can be just a couple of lines or wayyy more

runic edge
#

So MBIN is basically a format that holds multiple EXML files?

vale iron
#

MBIN is serialized binary. MXML is a text representation of the MBIN. EXML is a subset of an MXML to only edit parts of the MXML.

#

PAKs are compressed archives that contain multiple MBINs (and other files, like music and images)

Hi, i have few questions. I'm kinda new in NMS and I notice it can be modded. I saw there are mods both for QoL and those what modifies the game itself. How does it work? Are mods local? Do i need to make different save for this? Does it disable multi?

# hearty wasp sounds like seed just got accidentally changed

I had an exotic ship change on me a while back as well — even though the character string for the seed was exactly the same … so I wonder is there other hidden metadata or something that gives context to the seed string?
(In this instance today, I tried reloading my save from before I made the save editor changes and the custom ship was still morphed … also weird)

there is not

#

seed is the only factor

it could be the save editor is saving the seeds incorrectly but then all you ships should look different

So mods have to be updated for the current patch of the game to work right?

#

I'm trying to get into modding for the first time and I'm tryng to learn the basics

vale iron
#

Definitely since 5.5, January 29th or so. After that, most are still good until 5.58 comes out. 5.58 is going to break some of them again.

I wanted to use a mod. I understand that that a recent update changed how it works, which one was it (how long ago?).
I am looking at the mod "never pause" which is just changing 2 atrributes in xml file. (mod was first uploaded to nexus on 12 feb)
The file is placed in GAMEDATA/MODS (new folder I've created). The file name is GCDEBUGOPTIONS.GLOBAL.EXML
I don't get anything during the game launch, I don't know if I am missing something in enabling mods in the first place, but there is suposed to be no more "disablemods", is there anything else?

vale iron
#

See the document in the pins for instructions and troubleshooting

errant sleet
vale iron
#

Yeah, the game treats each subdirectory in MODS as a separate mod, with the files inside

errant sleet
#

Are mods even supported on Steam version?
I followed the troubleshooting steps. I am at the point where the mods warning appears in-game - but the mod does not take effect. It's a simple mod that changes game pausing when e.g. Escape menu is opened (<Property name="AllowPause" value="false" />).
I tried another one which modifies max distance of construction camera / add no clip/.
These are single files, located in GAMADATA/MODS/original mod creator's foldername/GLOBAL/ and the file is simply GCDEBUGOPTIONS.GLOBAL.EXML.
Can anyone test if this works for them? Either

That's weird, WinderTP's mods are being updated for 5.58, which apparently released on the 21st, but my NMS install says the last update was on the 14th, meaning I'm probably still on 5.57

5.58 is the experimental

Should be on Public soon

I don't know if that particular setting is actually enabled, though

How hard is it to adjust the values of an already existing mod?
The mod in question is Unique Exocrafts, some of the things are a little overtuned for my liking and the flamethrower hasn't been adjusted yet, so I was wondering if someone else here had experience fiddling with that

hearty wasp
#

difficulty is positively related to 1. how much you understand the params inside and 2. how well you can extrapolate function from field names

#

so read the names of the parameters and just try to figure out what that name means

vale iron
#

And 3. If it's EXML or MBIN. EXML is immensely easier to edit

#

It is MBIN, sadly

#

I know I can edit those with AMUMSS, but I don't really understand how exactly...
Not gonna lie, I bet it's an amazing app, but it's as far from intuitive as it can be

Winder has an EXML vehicle mod I think. I will as well maybe this weekend

@frigid grove not sure if it was intended or not but, I was playing an expedition and left the game. enabled steam online to play another thing and then, forgot to turn it off before opening NMS.

When I loaded I was in the anomaly and I believe I was off the expedition... (stupid me)...

I left the game (didn't save or annything) and override the cache file again.

when I started the game, the game was back at the point I was last time I saved correctly, in the expedition with my current achievements.

is this a fix ? for stupidity? xD

It is, hence the need to restart your game

it didnt spaw with the wave 5

#

ok will restart and try again to see

#

is it enough to switch to main save and back to expedition or should I restar game completelly ?

frigid grove
#

It's something to do with flying around or warping or teleporting or something. It's similar to not being able to place pets, exocrafts, posters etc. A restart fixes it for a short time.

Restarting completely in my experience is the only thing that seems to fix things.

Is anyone aware of a mod that would allow me to summon various objects, even as a command? I would love to quickly summon e.g. various Atlas stations (they have different insides), freighters, stations, etc .(for easy videos)?

No such thing exists

There are no "commands" to utilize in the game

The closest would be mods like MetaMod that adds various actions to emote menu

Does anyone know the attribute name (or existing mod that changes it) of the camera rotation angle in photo mode? The Ione on third person view - by default it's limited so you can't rotate it enough to look back behind your ship, it's probably something like 45 degrees.

Grab mods only from newly released or recently updated tabs on Nexus Mods

#

If it's older than 2 weeks, most likely it isn't compatible with current game version

#

See the document about modding after 5.50 in pinned messages

runic parrot
#

How come so short?

hearty wasp
#

updates break mods

#

update recently, therefore old mods broken recently

#

and soon those mods will also be broken with the next update

hopefully after the next one the modding system will be made more robust and this shouldn't happen as much tho

#

Alright, is there a way to stay on the current version? What happens if i have like a generation mod and an update happens. What happens if i remove it?

not with Steam

any proc gen alterations goes back to vanilla when mod is removed

Vortex is good for easy install and update notifications. Nothing can tell you when a mod is out of date, but if you focus on things updated after January 29th for now, you should be good. When the next update happens soon, a lot of those will break too, as mentioned above. It's unfortunate, bit the modding ecosystem is getting better, so it's good overall

#

When appearance or terrain mods go bad, you'll just start seeing vanilla stuff, which is mostly fine

#

When the mod updates and you update, it will go back to the modded appearance

Ok, so, I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it to look up how to access the Experimental branch on Steam, because I don't want to break the mods I already have, but I'm also afraid if I update the mods that I have or install new ones that were built for 5.58, I'd break something in the Public update.

fresh arch
#

If you wanna play with mods you already have, stay on public

#

Im not sure how many (if any) mods were updated for 5.58

clever holly
#

Yeah, I figured as much

#

Oh, there are mods updated for 5.58, but afaik, most, if not all of them are WinderTP's mods on Nexus

fresh arch
#

Yeah Winder has habit of updating for experimental

#

So they don't have to update once it moves to public

clever holly
#

I especially want to see if the Ships of Moar update still has that problem from the last time I had it installed where it frequently crashed my game if I went to the ship dock in my freighter, or even warped to a new system in my freighter.

#

Though, tbh, I really need to start learning how to merge mods, I'm half-convinced I've got conflicts in my mod list somewhere

#

In fact, would anyone mind if I asked for a bit of a modlist checkup, to see what's conflicting and what I might need to merge? So far, I haven't had any problems, but I still want to do a checkup

vale iron
#

I've heard Ships of moar 5.58 works on 5.57 but can't promise anything

#

Merging mods wouldn't affect ships of moar, except for one rare case, also using my gShip Custom Ships

clever holly
#

Right, but the merging mods thing isn't talking about Ships of Moar, but rather the modlist I have now, I just want to make sure there's no conflicts that I need to resolve

hearty wasp
#

Old FIles section exists and usually is accessible

clever holly
#

Fair enough

#

But yeah, like, I'm looking at this rn, and I'm thinking I probably need a bit of a checkup to see if any of these conflict.

Screenshot_2025-02-27_114325.png
#

Note that none of the Winder mods are the 5.58 versions

hearty wasp
#

5.58 has a considerable amount of syntax and modding specific structural changes so they are not guaranteed to work on 5.57

clever holly
#

I figured as much, since the mods are being updated to work on 5.58, so that leads me to wonder if people are going to have to update their mods all over again like when 5.50 launched

hearty wasp
#

it's likely

#

hopefully not as much after since 5.58 contains mechanisms that extend the longevity of mods

vale iron
#

The g stuff will work until 5.58 comes out. I have most of them updated and ready to upload when 5.58 comes out

clever holly
#

Ok. I was hoping you'd have updated the mod that increases the Predator spawn rate by now, but I'm assuming there was a reason you didn't.

#

One thing I do like is that, even though you're given a message upon launch that mods aren't officially supported, Hello Games still kept the modding scene in mind with 5.50 and 5.58

vale iron
#

The biggest reason is that I couldn't update any mods for about 9 days or so now, because the experimental is changing things significantly, and I need that to go public

clever holly
#

Ah, fair enough

#

Yeah, I didn't even know 5.58 is changing a lot of the modding mechanics again until just now

#

Gonna try the old version of Ships of Moar again, but this time I'm leaving out the Give Me Shuttles or Give Me Death mod in case part of the reason for the lockups was because I was forcing it to spawn only shuttles.

hearty wasp
#

well the latest version of GMSoGMD is for experimental

#

so you should just use the previous version

clever holly
#

Yeah, that's what I'm saying, I'm going to leave out the previous version of GMSoGMD as well, because one of those mods was making the game lock up when anything having to do with spaceships in my freighter was involved.

hearty wasp
#

game update

#

breaks mods

glad mantle
#

I thought this new way of Modding was suppose to make it where mods would work after update?

hearty wasp
#

not this one

glad mantle
#

I have to wait again for mods to be updated

hearty wasp
#

this one improves on how mods changes files

#

hopefully this will be the last one

hearty wasp
glad mantle
#

Oh well, back to the drawing board once again, thanks for your help

#

When I put a mod into the MODS folder, and run game, it doesn't show red text of Mod warning, it starts up like no mod installed, before it would show sign or claim game won't start.

#

Is this normal now?

#

I'm using a mod that was updated today

hearty wasp
#

glad mantle
#

What?

hearty wasp

search for "gcmodsettings"

#

then find and yeet file

glad mantle
#

On internet or here in discord?

#

in your computer

glad mantle
#

hearty wasp
#

are you looking at the doc in the message I linked

glad mantle
#

XML file?

hearty wasp
#

I linked a message above

#

the message linked contains a link to the doc with the information you need to know

#

above screenshot is said information

glad mantle
#

Thanks got it

#

will try and a see if it works

#

will let you know

#

Awesomesauce, It worked. Thank you for your help...again. LOL

hearty wasp
#

just for context, the file contains a parameter that disables all mods

#

when game crash and game can't find the mod causing it, it disables all mods

glad mantle
#

Ok, that is good information to know.

UI changes for us to adjust, are limited, as we can only use what is present to create it. Nobody likes to mess with the UI either, as it gets quite complex to work with. Can likely make those frames smaller, but if more can be added remains to be seen. Can not even be sure how adjusting the size is going to affect the content. You'd have to dive in to figure out and see what can be achieved. As said though, hardly anyone is into UI for a good reason.

#

If you wish to learn more about modifying the game, I'd suggest to check the NMS modding Discord linked below. Plenty tools, info, and helpul creators.

#

Game is super inconsistent about what new elements can be thrown into UI and will show up and what won't

#

I think it's the latter for this case

#

There might be a fixed amount of entries shown per teleporter page and just throwing more boxes wont make the game display these new entries

vale iron
#

I think that's probably the case. You could shrink them, and just see 12 smaller versions of the same thing, possibly with a scroll bar and lots of blank space

#

Often the code isn't "display as much as you can on this page and put a scroll bar if you run out of room", it's "Display 9 things here and a scroll bar if there are more than 9"

hearty wasp
#

that'll prolly require quite a bit of work

#

height of each base's thumbnail would be easier to adjust I'd imagine but that depends if the vertical stacking is using NextLine or using spacers

#

or both idk

fresh arch
#

Even if we get to the UI mbin, find the 9 thumbnail sections, rework them and copy paste to add more, there's 0 guarantee game will display the next 3 stations there

#

Or bases or whatever teleporter end points that would normally go to the next page

hearty wasp
#

scrolling UI is often a bit more forgiving when it comes to that but yeah you won't know until you implement it

#

and of course you'd have to implement it first lmao

fresh arch
#

Oh ok didn't know about scrolling bit

vale iron
#

Not it!

fresh arch
#

I tried to add more positions to crafting menu for inventory, game wouldn't display stuff from 2nd page of that popup

hearty wasp
#

yeah adding new elements is always a gamble

#

usually on the losing side

fresh arch
#

Just like irl

vale iron
#

Adjusting seems to be fairly acceptable, but adding seems to be mostly verbotten

#

Is it loss? It's always loss

hearty wasp
#

but the way scrolling UI works is that the individual entries are usually setup beforehand and are kinda just "hidden" until they're used

#

but yeah there're luas out there that edit UI files and if anyone wants to see how stuff is adjusted they can go read them and see for themselves how dickripping it is

Loaded up my mild amount of mods when the update dropped and my entire log's quests reset lol, I had all 4 or 5 stages of starbirth and everything (loading back a save fixed it obv)

None of the mods are even mission related which was confusing, just tiny qol

You put the sh0 file in a folder called exported in the root directory of goatfungus, open the save, goto ship tab, select import ship, select the sh0 file then when its imported, you click save

I appreciate y'all's discussion on the matter. I played once very briefly a long time ago and I recalled the entries being smaller. For stuff like stations that can't get their own image it just feels like a lot of wasted space, ya know? It's unfortunate the menus and UI are so difficult to modify, because there'd be so much to do with just that menu alone - sort/group by economy (type or strength), dominant life form, color system (or have the color show up like it does in the Discoveries menu system icon), or a custom tag you could search/filter by.

There IS a mod that replaces the icons with colored versions to help differentiate them, though it isn't updated for the latest patch https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3209

Changed the icons and background to colored ones for better display. The icons are taken from game resources. The size and position are adjusted to the desired one. I'm tired of the default image )

Modifying UI is one thing, sometimes it works, sometimes not

We're talking about adding new functionality here

Pushing data that is not present in this particular screen / instance

Which is a no-go in general

Yeah that's what I meant by it's unfortunate, because that kind of detail/addition would be very nice

Curious if it would be difficult to make a mod that just keeps a text file log of whenever you change galaxies — text file with save name, galaxy you entered, and time stamp.
It would be amazingly helpful for me since I like sharing photos with glyphs to things I find, but if I change galaxies I don’t always remember to make a note which galaxy the glyphs work for.

#

I’ve done minor mod work many years ago in Quake (lol) but no idea if it would be way above my head to try this in NMS

#

(The ideal would be making the UI list galaxy number or name next to the glyphs in photo mode but my understanding is that isn’t possible)

vale iron
#

Not possible with a mod. We can't add any functionality that doesn't already exist.

hoary gale

Their mods are pretty good from what I heard, but likely require quite a bit of work due to the recent changes made to modding in general. Sadly enough, these changes have not been consistent and stable either.

no

still not working

i checked and the mod is up to date

hearty wasp

up to date as in within the last few weeks?

you should link the mod if you want help on the specifics

stoic raven

the mod is called No Man's Reticle

can you post your MODS folder

#

Probably suffering from the new expanded TEXTURE cache

stoic raven
#

Just dragged a few random mods from nexus

#

and none work

#

so its not a problem with an individual mod

solid hawk
#

Many more TEXTUREs are now being cached than before. Replacing these TEXTUREs with mods that use the same file name, to replace, will no longer work, as the game will always grab from the cache if in there, which will be vanilla version.

solid hawk
stoic raven
#

No

solid hawk
#

Well, we can try the fix. Won't hurt anything and will potentially fix....

stoic raven
#

Crazy this wouldnt be happening if the game let you disable the reticle in settings

#

baffled it doesnt have that feature

solid hawk
#

In Binaries\SETTINGS, delete the GCMODSETTINGS.MXML file

stoic raven
#

Alright

solid hawk
#

It will be recreated next time you start the game

#

Hopefully this fixes things

stoic raven
#

No luck

#

Deleted the file but still no mod warning

#

Guess ill just accept the reticle or turn HUD off

#

sucks cause that disables a lot of information like scanning planets from oribit and using the analysis visor

#

HG really needs to add a toggle

#

well thanks for trying to help

solid hawk
#

NM, I see the problem...

#

PCBANKS\MODS is now incorrect

stoic raven
#

Huh...

solid hawk
#

GAMEDATA\MODS now

stoic raven
#

Ill try that

solid hawk
#

...AND so you know, ANY mod created or updated before 29 January 2025 is NOT viable.

stoic raven
#

Alright

#

Mine is from February so it should work

#

Well the mod doesn’t work…but I got a warning, so that’s a start

#

I’ll see if I installed wrong

solid hawk
#

Some, but not all, from 29 Jan 2025-3 March 2025 will still work, as of the update released this past Tuesday.

stoic raven
#

Noted

solid hawk
#

Yes, this new "more reliable" modding system has been something of a mess for the modding community, so far.

stoic raven
#

I can imagine

solid hawk
#

Will improve, over time

#

But updating mods for NMS 5.5x is essentially remaking the mods from scratch, to a large extent.

stoic raven
#

Thanks for all the help

solid hawk
#

No problem. Glad I could assist

#

Oh, and be sure you remove PCBANKS\MODS

stoic raven

Already done

Yeah! That was what I was partly saying in my original question a day or two ago (up there somewhere) is if it would be technically complex or if somebody who is not a software developer (but has done some fiddling around with shell scripts & modding 30 years ago) should even try :-)

hearty wasp

You'd prolly need knowledge to write/adopt code related to reading jsons

and there's really be near zero institutional knowledge to assist.

# weak star Yeah! That was what I was partly saying in my original question a day or two ago...

So this got me curious and it seems there’s a “UniverseAddress” parameter somewhere in the JSON of the save file as decoded by the GoatFungus save editor which you can probably use for this (see “BaseContext.PlayerStateData.UniverseAddress”).

In theory, you can have your daemon/script (1) decompress the save file, (2) locate the correct mapping, and then (3) pull out the data you need periodically. Haven’t looked at how you would do (1) and (2) without the save editor yet though but it should be possible.

weak star
vale iron
#

I believe it's clear-text obfuscated. There's a save mapping file with MBIN Compiler I think that has all the three letter codes and their actual text

#

Universe Address is near the top of the file. Could just figure out the three-character and not even de-obfuscate

naive stirrup
vale iron
#

Just a terminology thing, in NMS we consider save editing and modding completely different things

#

and separate programs would be a third category

naive stirrup
#

Ah, got it np. I just figured there would be a large overlap in the knowledge between the three categories.

vale iron
#

There's some. Probably more between (save editing and modding) or (modding and external apps), but not (save editing and external apps), other than Mjstral

fallow meadow
#

@weak star @naive stirrup The save files on Steam at least, will require to be decompressed first. There are several tools out there when it comes to the save files, if you search for it (No Man's Sky + decompress + save). Here is one that combines a Python script by Chase-san with some Typescript to do the 'mapping' mentioned earlier:

is it possible to get a corrupted sentinel drone as a companion?

vale iron
# zenith yacht is it possible to get a corrupted sentinel drone as a companion?

I don't think they've made one in a vanilla way, so any attempt to do so has some complications. With the most basic companion edits, you risk desyncing with multiplayer when you have the companion out. You could possibly do a more nuanced version based on FRIENDLY_DRONE where you use the existing companion as a base and just model swap the appearance for a corrupted drone, though that wouldn't appear as corrupted to other players, only to you.

zenith yacht
#

ooh ok, just appearing corrupted to me would be fine

fresh arch
#

Maybe scene swap on Laylaps instead?

#

In theory itd be possible to replace geometry and model and leave entity mbin

zenith yacht
#

ok. i have no idea how to do that 😅

vale iron
#

Yeah, that should work

#

Unfortunately, I doubt anyone that already knows how has the time right now. You would either have to dig in and learn (while asking questions), or wait 🙂

#

Plus, none of us that know how always knew how

zenith yacht
#

alright, i appreciate the answers, ill try looking into how to maybe do it later

vale iron
#

Ask questions any time you want

fresh arch
#

If you have game files unpacked, look into models and robots folders

#

You'd need to find the scene for laylaps, internally called friendly drone if memory serves right

#

And scene files for a corrupted sent drone

#

Then replace the geometry and model MBIN links

#

That is the basic idea, no clue if game will like it

zenith yacht

ok thanks i will try that later
