[solid slate]

how does one get my hands on the cool looking red staff with mods?

to be 100% reading the google doc has made me more confused

[fresh arch]

Go to Nexus Mods, grab the Consumerism mod

It will let you buy the staff and other exped rewards with Quicksilver

[solid slate]

this is whaty i got

[fresh arch]

Refer to the pinned Google doc...

Search for Consumerism, drop the mod part

... for installation instructions

[solid slate]

if you read my full text the doc is confusing for me

idk how to "Unzip/decompress the downloaded file."

[fresh arch]

you never heard of archives like ZIP or RAR?

[solid slate]

im a console player who got a pc and barly knows how to check my satistics of my pc

is it a problem if im using the xbox version of it on pc as well?

[fresh arch]

alrighty then, what operating system do you have? Its possible you have one that has functionality to unpack archives like that

And no installation of additional apps will be necessary

[solid slate]

idk what any of that means

[fresh arch]

no, mods will work with PC gamepass version as well

... do you have Windows operating system?

[solid slate]

yeah

windows 11 i think

[fresh arch]

ok then it should have the functionality to unpack the archive

Download the file from Nexus Mods, find it in your Windows Explorer / files app

[solid slate]

alr

[fresh arch]

Right click on it, search for option that would say something like unpack or extract

[solid slate]

ok i got it i think

[fresh arch]

Now copy that folder into game install directory/GAMEDATA/MODS folder

[solid slate]

where i find that?

[fresh arch]

should be C:\XboxGames\No Man's Sky\Content assuming standard installation location

That you will have to find on your own, I dont know your computer

[solid slate]

i got to the settings part on xbox gampass

paste in here?

"Place the entire folder inside your GAMEDATA\MODS folder, not PCBANKS\MODS. Like this:" so im assuming dont paste it there?

[fresh arch]

go back to Content folder, then go to GAMEDATA

[solid slate]

im assuming here

[fresh arch]

Inside there make a folder called MODS (assuming you will not have it)

Place the folder Consumerism inside MODS

[solid slate]

a copy or the whole thing/?

[fresh arch]

Copy the whole Consumerism folder and paste it inside the created MODS folder

[solid slate]

like this?

[fresh arch]

No, it has to say just Consumerism, not Consumerism with bunch of numbers and dashes

[solid slate]

gotcha 1 sec

[empty egret]

That is the Communism Mod @fresh arch

[solid slate]

so that ones fine?

[fresh arch]

ay good catch

I told you to grab the Consumerism mod

You downloaded something else

[solid slate]

oh

uhhh

left one?

alr 1 second

[empty egret]

I finally found the last Mod that was breaking my NMS

I don't like it when Games Update LOL

[solid slate]

perfect>?

[fresh arch]

yeah that looks good

Now launch the game, you should see a Mod Warning screen

[empty egret]

Yeah that looks right

[solid slate]

alr 1 second lemme see

got the warning

thanks 😄

still learning pc stuff so i do love the help

[empty egret]

@vale iron When you get the time could you please update your Purple Systems Mods?

[pure mulch]

@quaint wadi https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2754

[quaint wadi]

thank you!

[solid hawk]

If exml, should still work fine

[empty egret]

It was one of the ones causing my Game to crash

[dire ember]

When? Because with 5.60 that was a known problem with GCDEBUGOPTIONS but should have been fixed in 5.61

[hearty wasp]

and it shouldn't crash the game either way

I'm not gonna say it's just your save but without more reports signifying it's the debug setting's problem

that would be the more likely case

[vale iron]

I'll look today. Thanks for letting me know.

AMUMSS also deletes the mod settings file, I believe. You likely had a crash that set all mods disabled and when you used AMUMSS it deleted the mod settings to reset that value.

[glass gate]

Anyone know if theres any mods that let you build on the freighter bridge? Before WPII, I used Lyravegas tweaks, which I believe has been abandoned, but I haven't seen any mod similar since then

[thorny grotto]

any Modder out there that can help me get one? it would mean alot!

[final hazel]

I could! At least the shape of it

[thorny grotto]

Anything I can do in return? Id be so happy!

[final hazel]

Oh, if you could give me the coordinates of it I could possibly tame it with the adopt any creature mod (if that's not as broken as I think)

[final hazel]

If that's something you've discovered yourself, add it as a personal wonder so I can see it's coordinates, I could maybe go there and tame an exact copy of it using mods

[thorny grotto]

its on the 3rd dig site camp, flying back now to get portal coords

[final hazel]

You don't need to go there!

Just add it as a personal wonder and hover over it's info

Like this

[thorny grotto]

TY so much!

[final hazel]

Exactly that! I'm on my way to it

Do know that I won't be able to join you within the expedition to give the egg to you, but outside of it/after it I could

[thorny grotto]

I can happily put the expidition on pause, especiially for an egg of that creature

[final hazel]

It's mine!

[thorny grotto]

❤️ ❤️ ❤️

my expedition is paused, back onto my main save

[final hazel]

I could make it a little bigger

Oh it's a baby

I'll make it an adult quickly to see it's intended bigness

[final hazel]

Is this big enough? I could make it the size of the third picture which is decently fast and useful (it's also as big as you can normally make them with growth hormone)

[thorny grotto]

I think its perfect

[final hazel]

Perfect, then I'll ad your friend code

[thorny grotto]

more pet like that way too, rather than steed, thank you again!

[final hazel]

True! Actually the perfect size for that

I should now be joinable from the main menu, if you added my code too

Unless you want me to join you instead which would be okay

[thorny grotto]

ill add you

[full karma]

Is there a warp to core mod or nah

[hearty wasp]

nah

just ask how to portal there #nms-questions

[twin vigil]

is there an updated way to save edit import the Radiant Pillar starter ship? the pins has a link to a sheet with it but it's a .shp file and not a .sh0 file so NMS Save Editor isn't recognizing it when I attempt to import

[final hazel]

I just made one, but you need to enable "use old colors" on it for it to have the red n white colors

[pure mulch]

@vale iron Regarding the Freighter Lighting adjustment request, just used AMUMSS to update an old gLight Better Ship Lighting Freighter lua file (from gameversion 422 according to Lua file) and am getting this as the lighting shown in the left picture and in the right picture, same but current version.

[vale iron]

Thanks, I like the right more, but maybe a tiny bit lower would be good

[pure mulch]

yer for me the right seems to wash the colours out

[vale iron]

Yeah, I can see that. Particularly the areas that face the light directly

[vale iron]

That one I have a hard time judging, since I don't know the pallete color

[pure mulch]

same, gonna visit it again and make a pic with old one

[vale iron]

Hmm, yeah, definitely washing out a bit

[pure mulch]

not much difference when looked at in pics lol

Its just cause I use the mod, to take screenshots of ships, so colour is kinda important to me

[vale iron]

Yeah, the main point of the mod is to get true colors, so I need to fix that

[pure mulch]

Even if you leave as is, ill probably just use the old freighter version now I can update it again via lua

[vale iron]

Do you have that old Lua? I'd like to see the old values

[vale iron]

Perfect, thanks. Went from 30,000 to 35,000. I'll try about 32,000

If you want to try it

[pure mulch]

ok

[vale iron]

Too bad I can't EXML these

[pure mulch]

better I'd say

[vale iron]

That looks pretty even. What do you think?

[pure mulch]

yep, was better than before

[vale iron]

Maybe 31,700, but I think it's close

31600 and calling it done 🙂 Thanks for the help

[coarse topaz]

???

[ocean holly]

@fresh arch what mods do you use?

[weary ruin]

AMUMSS auto-resets the disable flag when executed

[weary ruin]

AMUMSS only resets the flag, it does not delete the file to keep the priority settings in place

[ocean holly]

When working with Moda,, how do I know if I can just put it in the mods folder or if I need to do something extra?

[solid hawk]

Read the instruction on the mod page on NexusMods

[ocean holly]

fair ...

[solid hawk]

Only the mod author will know that and that's where it'll be documented, if needed

[ocean holly]

is there any mode that makes it clear in the scanne which fauna/flore were already scanned and which ones were not ?

[solid hawk]

In vanilla, if already scanned will be green icon, if not scanned, red. No mod needed for that

[ocean holly]

for animals only

I meant the trees, rocks, etc

[solid hawk]

Can try https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1928

[empty egret]

One is a DEBUG one and that is the one giving me issues

[empty egret]

You're Very Welcome

[empty egret]

Do .MBIN still work?

[pure mulch]

yes

[twin vigil]

Thank you so much!!

[rotund cosmos]

just reporting that running the lua script for "Beyond Base Building" produces a warning:

[[WARNING]] Unknown member 'MXML_CHANGE_TABLE' in MBIN_CHANGE_TABLE[1]

i haven't gotten in-game yet to check if this causes any issues, but i will be on the lookout

although...

>>>>>>> Loaded script [[+++++++Beyond Base Building.lua]]
>>> METADATA\REALITY\TABLES\BASEBUILDINGOBJECTSTABLE.MXML
    MapFileTree creation/update done by 2nd thread
     on File: [METADATA\REALITY\TABLES\BASEBUILDINGOBJECTSTABLE.MXML]
  Ended with a total of 0 action(s) made

"0 actions made" sure sounds like the script isn't doing anything

[fresh arch]

Rename all instances of MXML_CHANGE_TABLE into EXML_CHANGE_TABLE

What you got there is a script prepared for an upcoming version of AMUMSS which will have changed instructions / keywords

[rotund cosmos]

interesting. aight, easy enough fix

[rotund cosmos]

follow-up question, will this updated version of amumss be compatible with scripts that use the old keywords, or will they all need to be updated?

[fresh arch]

dunno, question for people developing AMUMSS

[pure mulch]

well i just used a lua for game version 422 so Im guessing it workds for some already

[fresh arch]

on which version of AMUMMS?

[pure mulch]

latest via AMUMSS update

[fresh arch]

The publicly available version doesnt have these changes, so it will read older scripts with older instructions just fine

[empty egret]

Thank You 🙂

[vale iron]

Are you on the latest NMS version? Problems with debug were fixed in 5.61

[vale iron]

If they are MBINs from 5.5x, they might need to be updated. MBINs work the same way as they always have, where a lot of them break with updates.

[vale iron]

Can you double-check the main menu, bottom left to see if it says 141040?

[unreal copper]

To play old expeditions on PC you can use a few websites but I use: https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/

It creates a .JSON file for the old expeditions that you dump in your cache folder and load it offline via adding a rule to your firewall

[hazy flame]

oh that's cool

[unreal copper]

I've done 4 of them so far

I'm up to emergence the 4th one

[solid hawk]

Not how that works. It is not uncommon for Steam client to get stuck and not be able to update games until restarted

[quasi dust]

can i use save editor without installing java?

[vale iron]

NomNom doesn't require Java

[quasi dust]

cheers man,didnt know about it till now

[thorn scaffold]

is there any mod that increases render distance/lod?

[vale iron]

Try FineLOD

[tiny lion]

does anyone know the best mod or save editor for getting a really good sentinel ship for Mac?

[vale iron]

There are no mods for Mac. I'm not sure if save editors work, but goatfungus would be the most likely

[tiny lion]

thank you

[bronze lily]

question for yall modders

Has anything to any degree ever been done with settlements whether bugfix or otherwise

and multiplayer?

[solid hawk]

Search on nexusmods for settlement to see the mods available. We can't affect or change multiplayer with mods. NMS mods are local only. We can change values for existing properties. Cannot add logic or things that don't exist in vanilla.

[warm knot]

which is best to increase ship damage

[final hazel]

probably by using a save editor

[empty egret]

Yes it is 141040

Save Version is 4177

[empty egret]

What Mod could be causing this?

I cannot open them

I found out which it was

I got lucky I removed 1 Mod and it just happened to be the Correct Mod LOL

[fresh arch]

👀

[near dock]

Any mods or tips for finding two different deep veins and an energy node near each other? I want the base I build to be accessible to others so I think I can't use the EM Anywhere mods / features... When I find a deep vein it won't even let me find another within a reasonable distance...

[glass lynx]

Greetings. I’m new here (and to the game). I purchased No Man’s Sky for ps5, and now, after read8ng about mods, am wondering if I made a mistake. Are mods only applicable to the PC / Steam version of No Man’s Sky? Thank you in advance. 🍻

[final hazel]

Mods are only usable on the PC releases of No Man's Sky, yes

[glass lynx]

ok, thank you.

[silk onyx]

Any mods updated for relic version yet?

I’m looking for ones increase pirate battle

[near dock]

I usually use one that removes pirate battles and unfortunately it is broken by this update even if you use AMUMSS...

So I bet that's not available... though I'm not 100%

[silk onyx]

Ok ty

[near dock]

Any time

[final hazel]

This one might still work https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3388

[near dock]

🎓

[vale iron]

This will increase your hotspot detection range, so you'll more easily find them from a distance:
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1347

[near dock]

I must have overlooked that because I specifically searched for Visor mods before asking here...

[vale iron]

No worries at all

[near dock]

Well, it's not pretty and it's not optimized but my Gold & Silver Quarry is operational...

Really wish short-range teleporters were slightly longer-range...

[near dock]

Well, I suppose if I can't see other bases, now is as good a time as any to do another expedition...

[final hazel]

A perfect world for those who hate bases in the way lol

Just turn MP off and be basically truly alone

The only other bases you see right now are ones uploaded through multiplayer's connection, as if they aren't uploaded

[near dock]

Yeah, but that's what Abandoned mode is for. I appreciate the cooperation that comes from, for example, a planet full of Runaway Mould bases.

[slow lintel]

How do I copy and save my character's appearance outside of the game via Save Editor?

[final hazel]

I believe it's stored somewhere in "BaseContent > PlayerStateData > CharacterCustomisationData" in the json

Also I recall nomnom having a function for seeing the saved ones

Can't find the same thing for NMSSE besides raw json, which always works

Entry 0 in CharacterCustomisationData seems to be the character's current appearance

[final hazel]

Oh that too!

That's what I was trying to find

Those are the 3 presets you can save

[slow lintel]

Does the game's JSON distinguish between my bases and other players' bases under "PersistentPlayerBases"? I'm browsing a small, unused save file which has 100 bases listed.

[final hazel]

I'm not sure where it distinguishes other than placing your bases before others' temporarily saved bases

[cloud void]

Question for modders, I play on xbox and I have recieved "happiness" and after looking around online, it seems that comes from PC modders. Idk if this is comparable, but sometimes when switching between jetpack and cape, I'll get a mesh that is the "jetpack" portion of a cape but no cape, but once I exit the appearance customizer it'll have the cape there. Is there anything that can be done so that the cape remains invisibe?

[steel coral]

Hello i have a question about this mod Consumerism
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2062
It is not working dose anyone know why it no work

[vale iron]

The mod doesn't have any problems, so you need to look for errors on your end. Follow the troubleshooting section of the modding document pinned in this channel.

[vale iron]

Happiness is a junk item from save editing (modding is different). Hiding the cape is also a save edit thing

[vale iron]

It will put in all the multiplayer bases you encounter, along with your own. At the end of each entry is an owner value

[boreal spear]

Looks dope asf ngl

[steel coral]

Ok thank you I found it

[lament apex]

Those are the save slots from the race tab in the appearance editor. There's a separate property that will either point to one of those slots by reference, or have a separate object that contains your current appearance settings. (It's how I got rid of my armor with ^ARMOUR_NULL on my gek while using a non-construct torso)

Will drudge up the json path for the current appearance property when I get home, if someone else doesn't first

[reef stirrup]

I would like to explore whether there is a way to make the all visited systems display their circle in a wider view within the Galaxy Map. Currently if you get close enough they do. I'd like to use this to track systems that I can't get to with portals or the custom waypoint feature. Using the custom waypoint feature only shows a path if you are currently within pulsing distance of the destination. If you max out the freighter range that is about 35,000 ly. If I could get the systems visited to highlight, you might be able to trace your progress in free explore mode.

I would appreciate any insights would be helpful, i.e. JSON locations, MBIN files in play, etc.

[quaint wadi]

RE. lighting mod - do you recommend i stick to the first one you posted for me? thanks!

[fresh arch]

mods can't add new functionality to the game

if the game doesn't already offer the ability to "overview all visited systems in galaxy map", mods can't add it

[pure mulch]

Its been updated to lower the brightness a little to lower the washout of colours, you may need to update it.

I use it, mods as always are personal preference

Bdubs post, just shows why I use it

[quaint wadi]

thanks for the reply. i got the latest version from nexusmods and will start using it because of what we saw in Bdubs post this morning
thanks again for your insight

[pure mulch]

I've used it for over 2 years, that's how "essential" it is for me.

@quaint wadi Gumsk also has a trader mod, that speeds up waves of ships, can be useful for when looking for ships

[quaint wadi]

@vale iron could i trouble you to link me to your trader mod please? thanks!

[pure mulch]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1845 might need testing to see if it works in current patch

[dusk notch]

hello

has anyone dug up anything about this chestpiece yet?

[final hazel]

That's just the construct armor on the sleek suit torso I think?

So not something a PC player could do for an xbox player?

[final hazel]

You cannot change someone else's customized character, so no.

[valid bolt]

I have a Question i saw Like a mod that makes s Tier ships more Common and removes c Tier ships completely and you can Change the color of the ships but my acutal Question is If the ships are s Tier and the colors Show for other people to like is IT an acutal s Tier ship then or not? Sorry for my Bad Englisch bdw im from germany

[final hazel]

Which mod is the one that changes the color of ships?

The more S-Class ships mod should create real S-Class ships though

[valid bolt]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2351

But i Just saw its outdates

Outdated*

[final hazel]

That mod is very old and will not work, yeah :(

[valid bolt]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2435

Found the new one here

IT was linked in the description

Im wondering If other people See this also

Would be pretty cool ig

[final hazel]

Ooo, I'm not sure how that one works, especially in multiplayer, like if it modifies existing colors etc

[valid bolt]

Yh

But like ship mods Like the s Tier should Work right ?

Also there are mods that makes old Event ships buyable

Do they Show for everyone ?

[final hazel]

As long as the mod was last updated after January 29th, 2025

[final hazel]

Yes, the ships offered by those are real ships

[valid bolt]

thats very nice

[final hazel]

The color one may not, it seems to just replace existing color variants on ships the more I see it

I'm not sure

[valid bolt]

I think i saw smth about some mods Auto Update but im Not Sure

[valid bolt]

Okey ty

[final hazel]

WAit, I misread the last updated thing, I thought it said 2025 but it says 2023

The True Color mod will not work, it was last updated in 2023

[vale iron]

Color mods affect the local pallettes. Other people would see the original color

[near dock]

I would like to know if anyone is willing to update this mod ( https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2892 ). It is just replacement textures but it's in the old PAK system. I tried looking at AMUMSS unpack but I didn't get any results... I'm guessing that's waiting on an update...

If it even CAN be updated...

[river pond]

if i mod an old expedition into the game can i do the expedition and get the rewards in my main save? or will i have to make a new save?

[near dock]

You can start a new save (my recomendation) and then collect the rewards on any save in addition

You can go the the anomaly and collect rewards for any expedition you've done on any save.

[river pond]

for any of them?

[near dock]

Yep

[river pond]

i've been reccomended this mod: #nms-modding message

[near dock]

I've done about 9 in the last month

[river pond]

is this a good mod to use to mod old expeditions into my game

[near dock]

It's the only way as far as I'm aware

[river pond]

alr

[near dock]

It's what I've been using

[river pond]

I'll get it now then

[near dock]

You just need to pick the expedition, set your minimum difficulty, download the file, replace your current one and make SURE you're game or whole system is offline

There are instructions on that site for a good way to do it.

[river pond]

the instructions make no sense

to me

anyway afk for a bit

[near dock]

Ok, ping me when you get back

[final hazel]

I just fixed it I believe, not sure if sending files is okay here

[near dock]

Wow, awesome! You can send direct if you want. That would be fine with me.

[final hazel]

Yeye, I tested it by replacing it with a scribble and was surprised when it was that easy

[near dock]

Yeah, ok, just make me sound stupid, that's fine... uh huh... 😉

[final hazel]

Not what I was saying!!!! I just expected to run into NMS not liking the file or something else

or needing to make the file structure different but I think that's only globals

[near dock]

Maybe I need to reread the AMUMSS docs... I couldn't figure out how to get them to decompile / recompile

And I have a bachelors in Computer Science believe it or not... programming specifically...

[final hazel]

OH the texture is a lil broken

Idk how or why since it's straight from the game itself, just edited with paint.net

maybe i exported it wrong

[near dock]

That I can work with. I can also fix probably.

Can you send me the one you pulled from the game files?

I think this one had it's transparancy flatened but I need the original for reference.

[final hazel]

Yeah it did have transparency, idk paint.net stuff

I have sent it

just made a better attempt by turning off dithering something

Looks aliased a lil but I think that's normal?

Idk

it looks a lil more thick and vibrant normall but maybe that's confirmation bias

No, it just looks better vanilla, all this for a smooth circle lol

[near dock]

RIGHT!

I might play with it a bit later, I'll let you know if I come up with anything good. 😄

[near dock]

Weird. Yesterday I used the extend base trick to extend make a base 1ku wide. Today it won't work...

[final hazel]

It should always work, saving and reloading might fix it

[vale iron]

Save next to base computer and reload. It's a vanilla bug

[river pond]

Im doing expedition 16 the cursed, need to do the "eliminate 8 hungering tendrils" quest except i've been to all 3 systems so far and in all of them it says "no infested planet detected in current system" did they remove hungering tendrils or something?

[dire ember]

For the love of Sean, can we have some patch notes that aren't four days old?

[vale iron]

Of course! Not four days old

Fixed a number of crashes.```
five days old!

Seriously, though, I think they might be testing some under-the-hood stuff that would be for the next big update

[elder hull]

How easy is it to rip player model and textures for use in Blender? I think they'd be neat to have for some personal projects
Probably a long shot, but is there any kind of repository of already ripped models?

[fresh arch]

nope

And I believe the blender plugin needs to be updated as well

[hearty wasp]

[river pond]

nothing there i could see about infested planets but after a quick search on google i have the answers i need. thanks for the advice tho 🙏

[weak star]

Is there anywhere in a save's JSON where you can get the seeds for the creatures on given planet? There is a specific flying lizard/bird with gorgeous colors - I'd love to be able to apply those colors to my flying lizard/bird pet (whose seed I made using the creature builder here https://creature.nmscd.com/#/builder)

[lament apex]

No.

[fallow meadow]

If anything, it would be listed in the DiscoveryManagerData once you discovered it.
It would be under DiscoveryData-v1 > Store > Record > [x], where x would be the index of the records.
Considering how many there are, you'd best make sure to name the discovery, to easily do a search with 'Records' selected on the left to find it.
As said though, not sure what all of the 'keys' could mean, but if the seed values are present, it'd have to be the ones under DD > VP
See image for one I named 'Flying Snake', where it has 5 VP values listed that could possibly be seeds. Who knows they match up with CreatureSeed, CreatureSecondarySeed, SpeciesSeed, GenusSeed, ColourBaseSeed, etc. I have no clue, but would love to know if you learn anything. You could of course try with an animal you can actually tame and make a pet, to then learn more by comparing.

[rapid sandal]

What does it look like in one of the save editors, they should resolve the key names. ... oh advanced users, is that goatfungus ?

[fallow meadow]

Those are already resolved. Just can't make sense of some of them

Like UA = Universal Address, and OWS = OwnerShip?, DT = Data Type? Just no clue what VP could stand for in there

[rapid sandal]

ha, mapping json has:

        {
            "Key": "8P3",
            "Value": "DD"
        },

so as you say, they are already resolved. odd that they aren't more verbose.

[fallow meadow]

Ahuh

Not data that is regularly being messed with, so I can understand 😄

[rapid sandal]

but still the json has 8P3 to replace DD, so it's not like they are making it smaller by using DD instead of something more descriptive.

[fallow meadow]

Someone should let them know ... hehehe.

[weak star]

this is an awesome explanation thank you!
May I ask also - is there anywhere you know of a reference guide or explanation of what the various seeds actually do/affect? For example, would one of them define the color scheme, another the texture? or some other combo? Or does nobody know?
Thanks so much

I so wish any of the save editors would let you 'bookmark' spots in the JSON you use frequently

[fallow meadow]

Here is data for one of my pets, a butterfly followed by the matching discovery data. There are several matching values between them, not sure if order is always the same.

[fallow meadow]

Well, the seed values do define various things, like colour or otherwise, but there is no way to reverse engineer a seed value to a colour or specific creature look or otherwise. So from just having a seed, knowing what it is used for, there is no way of telling what it will result in. Only way to know, is by using it and checking the result in-game.

[weak star]

ok gotcha!

[fallow meadow]

Can always suggest it, but those bookmarks could possibly be lost with an update

You'll learn to find your way around once you mess with it enough though. I hardly ever use the regular functions anymore 🤪

[weak star]

oh good point ... well the other thing I wish for is when I search a big chunk of the json for a string, and when I find it, be able to open the specific file it's in.

[weak star]

yeah I"m finding it pretty fun - like 30 years ago I really enjoyed messing with Quake C to make mods ... haven't played around with stuff like that since. Bringing back some fun feels.

[fallow meadow]

That would be really useful indeed. I do tend to run into the same issue. Like now, with the creature data in discoveries, just to figure out which 'index' it actually finds

As a workaround, I often just copy a section to NP++

[weak star]

NomNom's ability to go straight to the JSON chunk for something in its GUI is great -- basically just want that but for search results in the text

[weak star]

ok so is that a JSON editor that can read these files?

oh wait now I get it you're copying/pasting into the tool, not editing the save with it

(to find stuff, then put it back in the save...I should try that...)

As a non-developer, I didn't realize that any JSON editor couldn't open/edit the save file 😂

[fallow meadow]

You can put anything in there and select the 'language' to come up with some proper syntax highlighting, as well as collapse/expand sections

[fallow meadow]

I do regular search within the JSON editor, but often times I do things that are done a lot easier in NP++.

And you only have to put any changes back of course.

Just be mindful of how and where you copy from. As indentation changes depending on the level you go into the full structure. In the save editor JSON, where you select how deep you are on the left side, it works somewhat different than in NP++, where you do not have that tree structure to start from

[bold heart]

So how do mods work ingame? If I wanted to install a mod would I never be able to use multiplayer?

[final hazel]

Mods all work with multiplayer, they just won't affect the other players

[bold heart]

awesome, tyy

[final hazel]

There has not, and that isn't related to modding

[late lake]

is there anyway to unlock previous expedition rewards?

[final hazel]

Yes, with mods/save editing

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2062

or you can replay the old expeditions offline by following the instructions given here https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/

[late lake]

@final hazel thanks so much

[solid hawk]

There's also a line of mods for obtaining specific expedition ships.

[hardy locust]

anyone know where to get started for save editing?

[dusk saffron]

I believe if you look in the pinned section, there is a link to the creative hub. Once there, find the save edit channel

I use goatfungus and try to help people over there when I can

[hardy locust]

ah okay ty

[ebon bronze]

is there a mod that allows you to place and farm the plants you can find in the wild (Sweetroot, wheat, etc) that you normally cant plant?

[hardy locust]

Hey yall on goatfungus what is the unknown 1 ship type

[fallow meadow]

Not that I am aware of, and may not be possible either, as those crops were never made with the growth mechanic, nor are they available to build.

[ebon bronze]

i see, ty anyway!

[fallow meadow]

Not sure where you are seeing this. I can't really think of any unknown ship types. Could you elaborate?

[misty estuary]

is there a mod that allows manually changing the tech damage modifiers? i have it set to challenging and uninstalled every shield upgrade my ship has but i still barely take any, so im trying to pump it up like 2000% for starship combat

[solid hawk]

Are you using latest version of goatfungus? If an older one, may be missing the code for any ships which may have been added since.

[fallow meadow]

There are rarely any mods that include in-game adjustments, but you can possibly find one where you can alter the values for what you wish to accomplish. Usually mods that come with a LUA script, or a variety of settings to pick from

Alternatively, you may be interested in tweaking the mod yourself?

To learn more when it comes to modding, I recommend checking the Discord

!moddinglink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/22ZAU9H

[solid hawk]

Maybe https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1777

plus what devilin said. Not possible to change things on the fly with NMS mods.

[misty estuary]

ty all

[warm knot]

what is save editor and how do i use it to get legacy frighter parts

[fallow meadow]

It is a tool for PC to do just that, edit all sorts of data present in your save files.

For all 'legacy' parts, you can find a list in the pins: #nms-modding message

[hardy locust]

On ships when choosing a type of ship under starborn runner it goes unknown1 in red

[hardy locust]

I mean I think I just got goatfungus yesterday it just said unknown1 under starborn runner

[fallow meadow]

@warm knot further details on Save Editing, see this pin: #nms-modding message

[fallow meadow]

Let me see what that is, give me a moment

I am not seeing that happen myself. What is the version you are using?

[hardy locust]

Also random question when choosing ships in save editor is there a way to choose a specific ship like wraith or something? and Im using 1.18.1 (RELICS)

[fallow meadow]

Ok, you have the latest version.

What exactly are you trying to do? When you say 'choose' a ship, do you mean picking one you own already, from the dropdown list, or are you trying to alter one into a different type of ship?

[hardy locust]

I choose one I already own and then want to change it to another ship type and then thats when I saw unknown1 was just interested in what that was

[fallow meadow]

Can you provide a screenshot of that?

[fallow meadow]

Also be aware that changing the type, will do only that, which means it will not be quite the same as it was intended to be. Base stats, amounts of slots, and all sorts of other specifics, will remain the same as they were from the original type. In some cases you will even lose technology because the new type can not use what is currently there.

[hardy locust]

Understood! These were just ships I picked up exploring so they all had repairable things and etc... with nothing on them

[fallow meadow]

I do not have that listed myself. I think it is somehow finding a ship type in your data which it can not understand. Might be a bug as well.

[fallow meadow]

I would certainly recommend using a ship you do not care about, if you want to change it to something else. Be careful when editing some of the values though, as some of them have been known to cause issues when too large a value.

[hardy locust]

do you have like a recommended value?

[fallow meadow]

Different types come with different value ranges for the base stats. The specifics values within that range comes with the seed it came with. Once you start editing, it is no longer 'natural' so to say. Not quite sure what to recommend without knowing what you are after.

I see you have quite a high Hyperdrive value there already, as well as a rather high value for Maneuverability

Hyperdrive is not going to cause an issue all that easily, when set high. Maneuverability however can cause issues with spinning out of control, or bouncing of the atmosphere when trying to get to a planet.

Too large a health/shield value is known to cause issues with multiplayer, either not seeing anyone, or t-posing players

Just a few things to be aware of.

[hardy locust]

okay cool lemme find out what value to change them to 😭

[fallow meadow]

I personally prefer to get a more 'natural' ship, for which you can often just find ship backup data you can use by importing. The Discord referred to earlier has quite a few of them

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[fallow meadow]

Here is an example of values for my natural fighter. Nothing all that great though, just regular S-class base stats.

[narrow scaffold]

maneuverability here is a base value where in game it is probably much higher

[hardy locust]

oh okay sick

[fallow meadow]

Making some changes there is not going to hurt you, just make sure to keep a backup and be aware of some of the known issues. Can change it back if things get weird.

[fallow meadow]

Correct, base stats, which is without any tech or upgrades taken into account

[hardy locust]

okayy tysm!

Also is it the same with multitool? Prefer to have base stats?

[fallow meadow]

You're welcome. Any questions, do not hesitate to ask. And as said, the above Discord has a lot more on the subject

[fallow meadow]

What I prefer may not be what you are after. We are discussing a save editor after all

It functions alike when it comes to making changes

[hardy locust]

No I meant like how you mentioned manuverability will cause me to bounce and spiral out of control is there anything game breaking from having high values on the multitool

[fallow meadow]

I always suggest to not go overboard right away, to not spoil the fun of actually playing

[fallow meadow]

Hmmm, not aware of any issues related to the MT for that matter.

[hardy locust]

Yess ^ agree and once again tysm!

[elder hull]

Are there any mods that unlock NPC only body parts for the player to use?

[lament apex]

For the longest time I wanted us to be able to get Polo's old torso outfit.

Alas, not only did we not get it, they took it away from Polo

[hardy locust]

yall how do i get the wraith ship with the save editor goatfungus? I went to account and pressed unlock on it but nothing was at the synthesis

[hearty wasp]

there's one that adds one builders head but that's about it

every single customisation piece needs to be manually converted and tweaked for customisation use so it's not the easiest thing to make

[rotund cosmos]

wait... so this is why my high maneuverability ship likes to wiggle violently in-atmosphere sometimes?? wild.

it's a natural (crafted) ship but I used all the sc slots for maneuverability upgrades 😇

[hardy locust]

got it but now big question is there a way to transfer a ships module to another ship on the save editor?

[solid hawk]

Game doesn't like it when maneuverability is set too high

[solid hawk]

Not transfer, but you can add tech to any

[weak star]

OK so continuing this thread -- I did some experimenting, and it turns out in a wild creature, the first seed in the VP array determines color.
But heres the thing -- in the two creatures I adopted and compared to their discovery data, in each case the first VP seed (I'm calling it VP1, etc.) in the Discovery JSON is also the CreatureSeed in the Pet JSON.

(edited to clarify)

[weak star]

Oh also this doesn't seem to transfer between species. I was able to get it to work predictably (using the VP1 number from a wild discovery animal of the same type as my edited pet) where it replicated the color exactly. But when trying the VP1 number from a yellow butterfly on the same dragon creature pet, it made off-white.

[hardy locust]

okay yall so I managed to get the wraith on goatfungus only problem is that I can't put any organic technology on it anyone know how to fix this?

[vale iron]

Sounds like you changed the model, not the ship type. Make sure it's the right type

[hardy locust]

yeah for some reason the type is unknown2 not the wraith but I know unknown 2 refers to the wraith because unknown 1 refers to starborn phoenix

[solid hawk]

Could always do via mod, instead of save editor

[hardy locust]

Probably will do that lowk this alot of work lmaoo

[solid hawk]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3403

Just FYI, sometimes the preview isn't displaying correctly in 5.6x. It's just a texture cache thing. Can still grab the ship. Exiting and re-entering the game should fix the display.

[hardy locust]

tysm appreciate it ❤️

[solid hawk]

Or there's another mod called Consumerism

NP. Whichever you choose, just extract the downloaded zip into GAMEDATA\MODS and will be good to go to use.

Once you have the ship and your game has saved, can remove the mod and keep the ship.

[hardy locust]

sick okayy thankss

[solid hawk]

A bit less fiddly than save-editing

[hardy locust]

real

[lofty scaffold]

if i mod the game to be able to play the older expedition, will i recieve the reward also?

[fresh arch]

yes, main rewards are unlocked like during original runs

[fallow meadow]

Thanks for getting back with some of those results, useful to know. Seeds are indeed used per main species, as a basis to determine the looks. This means the results can be completely different when the same seed is used for another main type/model. If you are looking for specific results, you'll have to find it first, brute-force, or see if anyone else has shared something you like. You can check our #nms-fauna channel, other internet resources, or you could have a look in the Creative & Sharing Discord.

[wintry hull]

To check for compatibility between mods, all I need to do is check if both mods have the same EXML files?

[fallow meadow]

Mods can alter the game in a few different ways. EXML is used as sort of snippets, only specifically making changes to parts of a larger 'file', the MBIN itself. When a mod provides an MBIN, it uses the full file to make changes in. When mods conflict, they are altering either the same file in case of MBIN, or part of the MBIN with use of EXML.

So first check if any of the mods used are making changes to the same MBIN file. If EXML is used, you'd have to check if they alter the same values, or section within that same MBIN file.

If LUA is provided, you should be able to use AMUMSS to check for conflicts, as well as merging to prevent conflicts. In that case, best to check the Modding Discord, where there is a channel specific to AMUMSS

More info on current modding, see pin here: #nms-modding message

[wintry hull]

Oh, okay. Thanks!

[fallow meadow]

!moddinglink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/22ZAU9H

[vale iron]

Most of the time, EXML mods will work and you don't need to worry about it. MBIN mods are where you might get problems

[plush cypress]

Anyone got a skeleton sandworm pet for trade? Not sure if I should post here or not sorry but I know a mod would be required and I play on console haha 🙂

[quasi dust]

Gumsk, i noticed that predator frequency mod hasnt been updated at all and your other mods have. Does that mean the new predator mod your focusing on that expands creatures will be a larger "all in one" type of mod? and that the simple frequency mod will no longer be updated?

also when i look for gExo's Challenge Modpack, on nexus it redirects me to a file hidden page and says please instead search for gExo's Challenge Modpack. im a bit confused

nevermind sorry, i found your mod page info : https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1541

[bright egret]

Through the woes of ripping up my steam installation something has happened

I'm not sure how it happened, because I don't have any mods which should do this

[fallow meadow]

Do you have mods installed though?

[bright egret]

Yes

[fallow meadow]

A trainer?

[bright egret]

I also use DNA

[fallow meadow]

Start by disabling all mods, or possibly just remove them all and remove the Mods Settings file

DNA is a tool to store all sorts of things?

Are all those mods recent, or has it been a while since you updated any?

[bright egret]

Recent

[fallow meadow]

Best to first start your save without anything changing the game, to then see if all looks fine. Can then start looking for the culprit if indeed all is good by default

[bright egret]

Honestly I might just not touch it because warp hypercores are free to me anyway

[hearty wasp]

you have a mod modifying ships and a mod modifying freighters

both can possibly interfere

[bright egret]

How amusing

I'm going to go on thinking this fucking thing is the root of all the weirdness in my 90 hour run

[final hazel]

That's just an egg pointing to empty data, it can be safely deleted

Shouldn't have anything to do with 53849235687253668 hyperdrive range

[fallow meadow]

Not necessarily, that info shows up with several issues, but may not have anything to do with the egg

[bright egret]

The thermonuclear egg has been sitting as the sole item in storage container 6 for the past year and I'm not getting rid of it now

To explain a bit more, I've been using DNA to pay 32,000 nanites/slot to supercharge more slots in my freighter

That's why the hyperdrive range is so high

[fallow meadow]

Another bug, same info (in catalogue)

[bright egret]

The efficiency is unintentional though

I just wanted to share this because it was funny to me

[fallow meadow]

Weird things can happen with values that become too large to handle well. I have seen 'shield' value lead to multiplayer no longer functioning or players T-posing, maneuverability value to cause uncontrolled spin and bouncing off planets ... might as well add supercharged hyperdrive range to the list?

You could undo those supercharge slots if that may help solve issues. Can easily be done with a save editor

[bright egret]

I did in fact buy another supercharge slot before the hyperdrive began exceeding the bounds of reality

I'll undo the last one and see what happens

Okay it's still there

[fallow meadow]

Keep us informed. I am always curious to learn what some things can cause

[bright egret]

I did also try packaging the hyperdrive upgrades, but the efficiency stayed at infinity

[pearl rivet]

Hi, I am really new to modding in NMS, but I have used mods in other games. How would I get started? I am particularly interested in getting 4K resolutions and texture mods for NMS, as I have an RTX 4050 laptop and an RTX 4060 desktop with a really decent monitor on the desktop, so I want to see how nice NMS would like with a high-res mod. Thanks for the advice!

[hearty wasp]

well none exist for that so

but in general just #nms-modding message

[final hazel]

Your best chance is simply increasing all settings to Ultra, the game looks good enough and higher res textures would change nothing, they're already "4k"

[pearl rivet]

good point! my monitor can already display 3840 x 2160 (4K) resolution @final hazel

[near dock]

Anyone know if these are burned in textures or individual textures? Could we make a replacer that changes them to English since they're just English substitutions?

[vale iron]

Probably just DDS textures

[hearty wasp]

all instance I've seen are monolithic

if you were asking if the each letter are individual textures

but most if not all of these are decals overlaying on the thing underneath

so you can edit them

[near dock]

But would we have to edit every word or could we just replace the letters and everything would update? That's what I'm getting at. I don't want to have to translate and redo every texture with these letters but if it's just a matter of replacing the alphabet, I could get myself to do that....

Maybe even a couple different fonts so people could load what they like.

[vale iron]

Every word

[near dock]

I am slowly working on a Nose Art mod to replace ship decals with bomber girls for example. I can do textures.

[vale iron]

There is no central location of letter decals

[near dock]

That stinks... Thanks though.

[hearty wasp]

yeah I meant monolithic by "one entire piece"

[near dock]

Ah, I thought you meant you'd seen them on Monolith's and I was confused...

Appreciate you rephrasing for me! 😄

[wheat oxide]

[glad sparrow]

are there any mods for making the glaxy map less of a chore? I'd save like an hour a day if I could just tell it "bring me to the closest 3/1 korvax system" or whatever

[fresh arch]

nope, mods can't add new functionality to the game, only reuse existing bits

[wintry hull]

You guys use any particular mod manager for NMS?

[fresh arch]

not needed

[vale iron]

Vortex is easy enough and works, but isn't needed. Totally up to you

[wintry hull]

Oh, okay. Thanks.

[weak star]

Anybody seen this or have advice? Weird issue: when I use NMSSE (goatf) to backup a ship, and then I bring it back into the same save, someties it changes the look of the ship.
It did this a while back to a couple ships, and then somehow it cleared up.
But I brought another one back from backup (imported it to the same save) and it did it again.
The seed is the same as the natural ship I first got it from -- I just checked again in this instance, and sure enough, same seed .

[fresh arch]

is it a fabricated ship?

[weak star]

The specific ship in this case is not fabricated

But I did change some core stats once I imported it ... so I wondered if that was the case and tested it by importing it again with a different name and did not change core stats on that one, and it ALSO changed its visuals from the original (like, different parts and colors), but different from the other one that changed :D

It did also happen to a fabricated hauler of mine at the same time, even though I didn't do anything new to that ship or recently import it.

I'm wondering if there's something else about the save that is keeping track of your ships that is getting confused?

Like if I'm bringing in a new ship that increases the total count of ships I have? vs. swapping? (I haven't tested that)

This also happened to the iron vulture in the original instance a month or so ago -- I wasn't using it, so I backed it up and deleted in NMSSE; when I brought it back, it changed the look to a different hauler altogether. But then later it mysteriously changed back. (Same happened to a squid exotic, which also fixed itself) ... but now that Iron Vulture has reverted to the same wrong visuals along with the other stuff... it's kinda wild.

[fresh arch]

The issue can be explained for fabricated ships, so Iron Vulture also counts

Those ships aren't saved with just the seed, the seed refers to the "internal" ship model and dictates its stats

The looks (parts and colours) are saved separately in the save data under customisation options

Check whether the save editor exports that additional data for fabricated ships as well

If not, the ship gets pasted just with the seed value and game generates the "internal" ship

[weak star]

ah fascinating thanks

supposedly the whole JSON chunk would be saved but I'll look at the JSON file to see if there are differences

I just don't get how that would get rewritten just by importing it back

also why would my fabricated hauler change visuals at the same time, even though I didn't import it or do anything to it since prior to the change ... huh. (ETA this is a rhetorical question btw :-) )

I'll try deleting the ship I edited and see what happens

[weak star]

Ok this is interesting, I deleted the version of the ship that I edited core stats for, and now the other ship I didn't edit is back to its correct parts/colors (!)

Weirdly though, my crafted hauler that also had changed to a different look Now looks like an Iron Vulture (!!)

something buggy going on

[weak star]

Oh I just realized you were saying that's true of the fab ships not natural ones - I assume natural ships then are just determined by seed?
Does the game do anything with that seed in addition to any core values you might change in a save editor? Like damage core number?

I wonder if there's like a unique identifier of the ship beyond the seed... I'll look later during a break

[dry depot]

trying to install the font-fix mod. should it be unzipped when i put it in the mods folder, or does zipped work?

[fresh arch]

game won't read data from ZIP archives

regular folders, inside the mod files mimicking the structure of the vanilla game files

See pinned guide about Modding after 5.50 for more info

[frosty quiver]

guys, i was looking through the pins but didnt found how to "unlock" previous expeditions, im playing Steam-PC and Tyndall said its possible to do so, how do i do it ? ( I maybe passed right before it but didnt see )

If you want to replay the expeds: https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/

[frosty quiver]

Thanks alot

[fresh arch]

Also check Babscoole's page for unlockers for individual ships

https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/Babscoole/mods?gameId=1634

[fierce rapids]

This is an awesome resourse. Only question I have is how do I get the previous rewards earned offline to show up to main save when back online?

is the app "Assistant to No Mans Sky" no longer available for windows? The github exe is blocked by Norton as dangerous

[fresh arch]

There's no such things as "rewards earned offline / online"

The point of going offline is to prevent game from downloading data about actual currently ongoing expedition and overwriting the custom expedition file

[dire ember]

Norton is probably a false positive

[fresh arch]

So the game thinks right now expedition X is active, not 18

The rewards you get from that exped are the same as from regular one and should show up normally in Quicksilver vendor list

[dire ember]

You might try https://app.nmsassistant.com/ instead of the EXE anyway

[cunning yoke]

hey guys!! i have 2 questions rq

1, are there any mods that give us more saved outfits bc i havent found any but only allowing 3 9 years after release is crazy, and 2, i have a mod that lets me adjust my autophage eye color seperately and it locks me out of the living stone. is there a way i could patch that? the only mods ive ever made were ship setting tweaks

[fresh arch]

1. no

2. mod prolly just needs to be updated to latest version

[cunning yoke]

1, damn
2, i checked and that is not the case 😭

im actually gonna try recompiling it with the lua in amumss

[fresh arch]

usually it is the case

[cunning yoke]

yep!!! that fixed it lmao

[fresh arch]

An outdated mod is providing an outdated version of game file

Which lacks data for new content added since then

All customisation options are hosted in one file

[cunning yoke]

yeah lol i forgot i can just update mods if i have the lua

i got back into the game for the relics expedition ive been out of the modding mindset for a minute

[fresh arch]

yeah no worries, modding has changed a fair bit since WP2

So you might as well go in blind

[cunning yoke]

what changed?

also i totally lied it didnt work but its fine im not using my autophage rn anyway im just gonna wait for that mod to update

[weak star]

Anyone else seen an issue where natural/authentic ships change their appearance if you just edit the core damage/maneuv/etc. values? (In my case it didn't happen immediately, it seems to occur when I try to bring one back into the game from a backup, the game gets confused, and even starts changing appearance of other ships - I assume it's just ones I've modified their stats for, not sure yet)
It's happened to custom/fabricated too, but in this case it's natural ships.

[empty egret]

Did they change the Mods Setup for NMS again?

I have the MODS Folder in GAMEDATA I get the Mods Screen and my Mods arent working

Any suggestions?

[pure mulch]

Update mods maybe, or conflicted mods

[empty egret]

The Mod works when it wants too LOL

Then you're asking for free reverse engineering of game's procedural generation

Which is shockingly, work

Work that deserves to be compensated

[quasi dust]

can i edit an EXML file directly with notepad ++? or do i need to do some repacking of sorts?

such as :

im unsure how the new modding system has changed

[fresh arch]

EXML files are just plain text files, you can edit them in any text editor

Keep in mind you will need to preserve the structure of the file, which mimicks the structure of the vanilla game file

If there will be any differences, the mod will probably stop working

[quasi dust]

i think i see. so basic editing of the value (1) or (0.5) is safe enough

i just want to increase some damage and hazard values

also so what your saying is if game updates, and the vanilla DAMAGETABLE.EXML file gets a new line relating to say a new damage type, id have to copy that line over in order to make sure the modded EXML functions right?

[cobalt condor]

no, your mod only needs lines that relate to what you are changing. That includes the line itself as well as the necessary formatting for the game to know where it is

so in the case of the file you shared, if you just want to edit some values in it, the exml mod should continue to work unless HG makes some significant changes to the format of entries in the damage table

[quasi dust]

so if my custom DAMAGETABLE.EXML file only has a value for the following,and nothing else, then when mod is loaded it uses that value,and everyother value is read from the games vanilla DAMAGETABLE.EXML : <Data template="cGcPlayerDamageTable">
<Property name="DamageTable">
<Property value="GcPlayerDamageData" _id="BASICDAMAGE">
<Property name="Damage" value="2.000000" />
</Property>

[cobalt condor]

Yes, but that text alone is missing some of the formatting and would fail to be loaded

[quasi dust]

When you say changes to the format of entries, for example you mean GH's could rename cGcPlayerDamageTable, and that work make my mod not work

[quasi dust]

understood, just pasted a snippet

[cobalt condor]

Its more likely that they'd add something like a "Damage2" property to each section or something, but even then the mod would still work

it would just use the default Damage2 values or whatever

damagetable is pretty simple

[quasi dust]

understood. i think they will never touch base damage values unless we get a difficulty overhaul

cheers, il start editing away

[quasi dust]

and yeah this is why im starting here,learning starting small. seems like a pretty robust system

[fresh arch]

only time will tell how robust it really is

We just had 1st major update since the changes to modding, some of us loaded the game only to see our entire progress deleted cause of one mod incompatibility

[quasi dust]

Im using it currently, increased values by all types of damage by a flat value of 10 and alls good. However im having a strange issue with gcreatures fauna density mod. i have tried 0.1(10%) and 0.25 (25%) and feel like they arent working as intended,or perhaps im misunderstanding the description. at 10 % i saw no fauna anywhere. at 25% i saw 3 creatures when i originally landed,then walked around the planet for 30 real minutes on companion, and never saw any creatures anywhere

i also reloaded the game,returned to planet and no change. before using the mod that planet was overun with fauna. so i guess i was expecting to see 25% of the vanilla count. it isnt looking that way at all,maybe im misunderstanding the implimentation?

its likely im assuming incorrectly that the spawn % is tied to spawning around player,and it actually has a planet wide spawn system

[hearty wasp]

Could just be luck

But afaik the creatures are just spawned in around the player

[steel crypt]

Creatures, based on size, will spawn based on distance from player. The chances of spawning are based on a percentage of them spawning in a “region”, which I can’t remember if there is a size variable for that region. They will also spawn based on north/south hemisphere, which should be noted in the creature discovery page.

Based on how the mod is made (I have no clue) the 25% might be in water, or underground.

[velvet tide]

where can i begin modding the game?

[dusk summit]

I've followed the instructions in the pinned message to the letter... and I don't get the expected "hey dummy, do you really wanna load mods?" message

[merry kite]

are there mods to increase storage space in the 10 containers? i've tried checking on nexusmods but the only mods present were about increasing the drop rates of the storage expansion items

[velvet tide]

nevermind, i got it

[quasi dust]

if installing a mod that changes the price of blueprints (GPRODUCTTABLE.EXML) does it require a new game?

i have one installed that should change blueprints prices but its having no affect

[solid hawk]

No, only HG can increase maximum storage slots. NMS modding we can change values for existing properties in static game data files.

Storage slots are a part of the save files, which NMS mods can't touch, and functions in the exe, which we also can't mod (or see).

[solid hawk]

Nope, should work on an existing game. Possibly installed improperly.

[merry kite]

i see... no items that can add more storage containers either?

[solid hawk]

The mod must be new or updated within the past couple of months for even a shot to work.

[solid hawk]

Nope, storage 0-9 is the limit

[merry kite]

i see, alright thanks

i can only pray HG increases it some day

[quasi dust]

its installed just like every other mod

[solid hawk]

Got a link to the mod page?

[quasi dust]

No Man's Sky

mod folder name and then metadata-reality-tables

[quasi dust]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3418?tab=description

[solid hawk]

ok, that was going to be my next question, about mod subfolder and contents

[quasi dust]

has a globals that goes with it

located in same directory as METADATA

Not IN METADATA

[solid hawk]

Yeah, that's wrong...

Globals files have to be in a folder called GLOBALS

[quasi dust]

Globals is in mods folder by default

[quasi dust]

oh ok

so il let the author know

[solid hawk]

Similar to this:

[quasi dust]

so MODS folder has a folder called GLOBALS and in it, i place the global table

[solid hawk]

No

Not in root of MODS

[quasi dust]

yeah i see what you mean

[solid hawk]

In each individual mod folder, if there are global files, must be in a folder called GLOBALS. Look at the screenshot

Have you had a crash recently, due to "mod incompatibility"?

If so, when that happens, the game now automatically disables all mods

[quasi dust]

NO i havent. though i have had very odd low FPS when testing

so beside METADATA,there should be the GLOBALS folder

in it,the globals EXML

[solid hawk]

Within the mod folder, yes

[quasi dust]

ok i let the author know,and il check in game now

[solid hawk]

ok, well if you do ever have that happen, mods will be disabled in No Man's Sky\Binaries\SETTINGS\GCMODSETTINGS.MXML

Easiest way to fix is just delete the file. Will be re-created when the game is restarted.

One of the troubleshooting steps.

[quasi dust]

hmm its still not working

let me recheck structure

[solid hawk]

He's the COMPLETE file contents in the EXMLs

Should still work, BUT worst practice. This guy doesn't have a clue what he's doing

If doing as complete file replacement, should be MBIN

EXML format is meant to be used as a "patch" mod.

[quasi dust]

it was originally an MBIN , i actually asked him if he could upload an EXML version as well, thinking its fine. he entirely removed the MBIN version it seems

[solid hawk]

Only the specific mod changes being made and some needed "path" headers to those changes.

Again, he's obviously not a clue, at all, what he's doing. Fake it until you make it.

[quasi dust]

yeah i actually was wondering why if Globals was even needed, im still learning

[solid hawk]

Making as EXML is not a simple decompile of the MBIN, then renaming MXML to EXML. Have to actually craft the EXML

[quasi dust]

as you say, just a "patch"

[quasi dust]

i see

[solid hawk]

Can actually be very laborious and time consuming to do, depending on how many lines are changed and size and structure of the file.

[quasi dust]

i see that after looking through alot of the files in game. the only other modding XML related i tried was 7DTD and it was alot simpler then

[solid hawk]

The tricky bit is getting those "path" headers right.

Well, this whole EXML thing is new to NMS, was only fully implemented with NMS 5.58

[quasi dust]

yeah, makes me wish we had a version of the game that HG's wouldnt update so could mod freely without worry

[quasi dust]

would have thought it made things simpler

[solid hawk]

Some people do choose to not update their game and stay on an older version.

As a mod author, I don't have that luxury. 🙂

[quasi dust]

iv not had luck in the past with this approach

[solid hawk]

In theory, supposed to be, moving forward, but there is a steep curve to switch to EXML. I author ~150 mods for NMS, still have about a dozen of the most complex\largest, that still aren't updated past Cursed.

The one I'm updating now, taken me around 8 hours, so far, and 80% done getting it updated.

[quasi dust]

which is it out of curiousity

i went back ingame without the EXML and my FPS returned to normal. coincidence?

or was the broken mod actually halving my frames?

[quasi dust]

i know what its like. i have made entire overhauls or levels for games,then a week later the DEVs decide to overhaul the entire game with some new assets,or engine and suddenly 3 months of work and 100 + updates all have to be redone. i typically only bother modding games that are end of life these days

[solid hawk]

His mod will probably work again, if recompiled back to MBIN

[quasi dust]

wouldnt a future NMS update almost certainly break the mod- as its affecting that Globals file?

[solid hawk]

If he wants to put in the work and effort to make it EXML compliant, he can come to the NMS modding Discord and we can give him advise and documentation on how to translate it into EXML

[solid hawk]

In theory, not as frequently, in proper EXML format, as it will then ONLY contain the changes being made and with globals, in most cases, property names are unique.

Here's a very simple example of a good global EXML

Two unique named properties being changed, so that and surrounding necessary data, are all that has to be in there.

So don't have to worry, going forward, about HG adding new properties into the file

The EXML parsing engine will see those two lines and make the needed changes in the copy of the file in memory, for use by the game.

[quasi dust]

i understand what you mean now. i left that fella a message inviting him to the modding Discord

[solid hawk]

Only time would need to update the mod is if HG removes or renames those two properties

[quasi dust]

unlikely they would remove any reference or ID,i remember they did actually change "ID" to "id" before

small things like that

they dont support modding but they seem to encourage it

[solid hawk]

Actually, those are less usefull than previously.....

With the new EXML system, there's new "tags".

_id and _index.

Those are what the new engine uses, when dealing with data in lists and arrays

^ see line 4

...and with list\array data may need to add your own tags, based on what you're doing. Default is to append. If you need to replace, overwrite, or remove, have to add specialized tags to tell the parsing engine what you need done

...figuring this all out was a load of fun, as HG didn't provide any sort of detailed documentation or instructions to the modding community. Was ours to figure out through lots and lots of testing

[quasi dust]

jesus. was there any other references to aid in this? other games for example?

[solid hawk]

Probably the big issue with what he did with the GCPRODUCTTSBLE EXML, as by default, much of it that game will want to append, as lots of lists in that file, which could lead to double entries for ID\ids, then the game would use first found, which would be unmodded. I can't say for sure without digging further though....and not my mod. 🙂

[solid hawk]

Nope. Only what was given in release notes, which was minimal. About 20 of the most prolific and long term NMS mod authors we just plaugged away, tried different things, and shared our findings.

[quasi dust]

can you send me a link to your mods?

[solid hawk]

End result was the NMS Modding after 5.50 document, which is in pins in this channel and another document with more details about EXML specifically for mod authors

[quasi dust]

id rather be using mods by authors like yourself and XenOnex

its one reason i dont go down the rabbit hole of modding anymore, iv got 3 games i mod and its like a full time job on top of my fulltime job

[solid hawk]

Your good with ones by Xen, myself, Lo2k, Gumsk, Lenni, Jackty89, WinderTP, Syzzle, NooBzPoWaH, Bladehawke

Mibne are all over the place though, as I've some under my name, but I'm also one of those people who take over good abandoned mods, so I've a lot like

Where I'm not the origianl author, but took over years ago

Example, all of the ones with Exosolar or Exo's are mine

But they won't show up in https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/Babscoole/mods?gameId=1634

[quasi dust]

ahhh ok yeah iv noticed the name alot

[quasi dust]

cheers

[solid hawk]

I'm like herpes, easy to get, impossible to get rid of. haha

[quasi dust]

currently using Gumsk "G" mods,such as his damage,looking through his EXML's and learning the references such as varoious damage types and what they pertain to,its hard to fully understand for example which sentinel,which weapon etc etc. i can understand what you mean about no documentation from HG's,i cant imagine how hard modding this game is and laborous

[solid hawk]

Gumsk is all good stuff...and the list of mod authors I gave is not complete. There's some others I'm probably forgetting. The big hallmarks to look for are that mods\author has been around with NMS for awhile and regularly updated.

[quasi dust]

its admirable yeah, because its not easy to stick to one title for many years

[solid hawk]

The low hanging fruit modders, just make a mod with minimal effort, usually a copy of somebody elses, then disappear within an update or two

[quasi dust]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2223 NICE ONE! My mate will appreciate this

[solid hawk]

I made that one by request. Low usage numbers, but people who NEED it, couldn't play otherwise. A community service mod. 🙂

[vale iron]

I've also been bad at documenting since 5.5 :). Everything feels like "let's get this done and come back to unnecessary stuff later"

[obtuse summit]

Do .pak mods work if you put them in the gamedata/mods directory or is it only mod folders and .pak mods are outdated

[final hazel]

I believe pak mods are completely outdated, which are any mod made before January 29th, 2025

[obtuse summit]

Damn, so despite project atlas going into the mods folder it probably doesnt work since it's a pak mod? That seemed like such a cool mod, added and changed SO much

[final hazel]

Yeah, a lot of work to update big ones to EXML and make sure they work with the modern game etc

Paks had to be updated every release so it probably still wouldn't have worked if the ones from 2019 I'm finding are the ones you're referring to

[solid hawk]

I've been plugging away at updating just one of my big ones for over a week now.

Relatively nightmarish

[solid hawk]

No point in looking at most downloaded or most endorsed for NMS. All mods created\last updated prior to the end of January 2025 would be completely non-functional.

Use this, listed in order of newest to oldest. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/newrecently

Page 14 for me is the cutoff, so doesn't take long to look through and see which are possible to use.

[final hazel]

The only good thing about the nexus redesign is that I can change my bookmark to it to specify "last updated"

[solid hawk]

Some like the redesign, others not so much. Doesn't much affect me and my usage, so non-committal here.

[final hazel]

Same tbh but I felt the exact same about the old design, and it broke on firefox for like a week which was annoying, more annoyed about that

[vale iron]

I'm meh on the redesign, just hate how they never listen to feedback

And wish they would add some kind of way to exclude mods before a certain date, unless I'm missing something. If you search for most downloads in the last month, it only gives you most downloaded of new mods, not new or updated

[quasi dust]

Some prior could still work i believe such as HUD related/texture related no? no danger marks comes to mind although i might be wrong as that was updated

also clear scanner(no filter i think i still use with no issue)

[quasi dust]

ye lol there was a mod there from 2016 that kept getting endorsements and downloads till this month

this one: read the first post haha https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/80?tab=posts

its still on page 1 of most popular, yet hasnt been touched since 2016

" It is 7 years out of date, stop downloading and endorsing it. " 😆

[quasi dust]

still cant search posts by keywords which is an absolute nightmare and causes people to have to make new posts to find an answer to a most likely already answered question

[final hazel]

Also hate how searching for mods only uses their titles and not their descriptions or anything else like tags would be so useful

[vale iron]

Nope, nothing before end of January 2025 will work, at all

There's another that keeps getting endorsements, black space or deep space or something like that

Not lo2k's mod, that works

[dire ember]

That would require them building more functionality. Functionality doesn't generate revenue. Making it a pain for the people who still have to look at ads generates revenue because they end up looking at more ads.

[final hazel]

Exactly :<

[vale iron]

I'm surprised they still give lifelong VIP membership to authors over X downloads

I had a user gift it to me years ago and am super happy about that, but I assume that cuts into their revenue quite a bit. Authors are who use the site the most and need VIP the most

[obtuse summit]

I didn’t even filter by it I just went to the logs and saw people had been endorsing it so I assumed it still worked but saw no difference once I got in game

[vale iron]

Exactly. Sheeple, but not in the conspiracy theory sense

[obtuse summit]

Why endorse it if it doesn’t even work? Do people look at a mod, find it cool, and if it’s popular or was popular they just endorse it?

[vale iron]

"Other people thought it was awesome, so I must be wrong if I think it doesn't seem to do anything". Appeal to popularity cognitive bias

[unreal oasis]

[hexed wigeon]

great, thanks!

for those curious, this is the base. at a depth of 1502.7u while the sea floor is at 1067.7u

i can only get down there via nautilus since you can clip it into the ground

[fresh arch]

how the heck did that happen

[hexed wigeon]

if you summon the nautilus into terrain using the quick menu, it sometimes just goes through the ground

if you can then enter it, you can dive to the center of the planet

when i exited while at the center of the planet it teleported me to 1500u below (still under the terrain) and i made a base just in time before the game clipped me back to the surface

[rigid plaza]

@quasi dust done 🙂

They dont have this one on the bot

Its not the "normal" phoenix

[lament apex]

Ah, fair 'nuff. Care to take this to DMs?

[stark iris]

Yh of course !

[simple mauve]

I have a base I built above a lake but it sounds like im under water when inside - is there a mod to fix this?
Water sounds all around and wet sounds when walking

[solid hawk]

I don't recall seeing anything like that

But if it were, would not be context based. Would have to kill the sounds completely, at all times.

[velvet tide]

are there any mods out there to dig through this stuff?

[final hazel]

That is not something a mod can enable, as far as I am aware

[tough shard]

I would like some help with downloading this mod:
bDeRandomizer - Upgrades at No Man's Sky Nexus - Mods and Community https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3431

I have followed this tutorial but its not working for some reason:
https://youtu.be/Zh7c-o65R2o?feature=shared

[dire ember]

What about it isn't working?

[dire ember]

I would consider deleting No Man's Sky\Binaries\SETTINGS\GCMODSETTINGS.MXML and seeing if when the game regenerates it the mod loads

[hearty wasp]

post MODS folder

post it like this

[tough shard]

Heres the list

[tough shard]

Like when i enter the game, the notification pops up, but in the game when i use the upgrade modules nothing changes.

[tough shard]

According to the tutorial, I've put mods in the gamedata, folder rather than pcbank. And I've also checked the "disable all mods" thing to be false

[fresh arch]

Mods go into GAMEDATA/MODS folder

You most likely have to make the MODS folder yourself

Then put the mod folder inside of it

[solid hawk]

IF the tutorial said GAMEDATA (nobody is going to waste their time watching it), then it is very wrong. GAMEDATA\MODS

[tough shard]

Do any of you have the mod and would know if it still works in the current update?

[fresh arch]

You need to put whole mod folder inside

Mod files have to mimick the structure / path of the vanilla files

I can assure you the proc tech table MBIN is not at the root level of the game files

More like 3 folders deep

[dire ember]

I made the mod, and I can assure you that it works 🙂

And what FriendlyFire said is right, you need the folders it was in

[tough shard]

Thanks everyone it works now

Was confused, thinking it will be very over powering

[dire ember]

It can be. It's why it's listed as a cheat :p

@coarse forum In case you wish to save edit them. Here are the 6 bones in question, with their internal IDs. Unlocking them for the catalogue requires adding them to 'KnownProducts', adding them to Inventories, can be done using their IDs when done through raw JSON:

• Skull of the Cursed Doe (FOS_HEAD_BB)
• Moustachioed Skull (FOS_HEAD_DJ)
• Snapbeak Skull (FOS_HEAD_IG)
• Upturned Tailfan (FOS_BI_TAIL_E)
• Downturned Tailfan (FOS_BI_TAIL_F)
• Stubtail (FOS_BI_TAIL_G)

[coarse forum]

thx

[velvet tide]

then how am i supposed to get to the cargo?

[final hazel]

If you can't reach it then you can't, this happens with lots of other buried things when they spawn at the bottom of caves

Sometimes with crashed freighter pods too

[velvet tide]

noted...

[leaden geyser]

Replaying older expeditions isnt against the tos right?

[final hazel]

Nothing is against ToS

Unless you're like blowing up a space anomaly session somehow

[leaden geyser]

That sounds cool tbh

But nah i aint like that🤣

[scarlet vigil]

is there... any mod... that makes come of the capes... scarfs? Or like... a single freaking color- no decals?

[fresh arch]

no, nothing like that

[woeful robin]

Well after finally finishing all the main missions, excluding some unimportant ones, I'm into modding this game.
What are some good mods? I'm absolutely clueless about them, but I welcome any recomendations, specially QoL ones

[dire ember]

Look at mods by Lo2k for QoL mods

Others do them, but he's got a ton

[woeful robin]

Thanks! I'll check them all once I get home, but that Black Space one looks awesome

Is there a mod that can hide parts of the HUD but not all?
I wanna keep seeing markers for planets and stuff, but I'd like to have no hud for the rest of things.

[elder hull]

Question about the Consumerism mod. Do thinks unlocked with quicksilver stay unlocked if I later play without the mod?

[final hazel]

They should at least still be with you if you claimed them, but I'm not sure about if they aren't claimed yet

At least the ones you have claimed will not disappear or anything

[zenith pine]

Is there a mod to put all of this in any type of order?

[solid hawk]

No, mods cannot directly change data in saves, which is what your inventory is.
