nms-modding

[round sinew]

it will say "primary exocraft switched"

[cold sequoia]

Ive just put them in there

[round sinew]

now summon a diff one

we must prevent the game from accessing minotaur's inventory

and that can only be done if we're not in the same system it is in, or if it's not the primary exocraft

[cold sequoia]

Ah so that's no good

[round sinew]

throw the eggs into an exocraft you dont normally use

[cold sequoia]

@round sinew

[round sinew]

now get in minotaur again

then save+reload, then goto space and anomaly detector

[cold sequoia]

Ok

@round sinew that's seam to work thanks

@round sinew

[round sinew]

now remember, farming for biofrigs, ignore all but whalesong

[cold sequoia]

Organic FRIGATE?

[round sinew]

yeah, run !faq-livingfrigate in #bot-spam

can just take this into #nms-questions

[cold sequoia]

@round sinew do you also have any idea hiw I can fix filling my ship shield because I think it's also todo with tool since adding infinite amount

So instead of shield going up when I click radiant shards it takes it straight down to 0 if I use Sodium it takes it to 100

[round sinew]

infinite
hmm - if you open your save with a save editor, what's the shield value you see?

[cold sequoia]

Ok let me go to desktop

[fallow meadow]

todo with tool since adding infinite amount
Can you clarify what exactly you did when you say this?

[cold sequoia]

Say what now what you mean ?

[round sinew]

in nmsse, i see this <image>; that's the values i'm thinking of, but idk how to see them in nomnom

[round sinew]

what tool did you use, what did you actually toggle on it to make "infinite shields"

[cold sequoia]

I never made infinite shields lol

Infinite resources

[fallow meadow]

Ah ok, so you made it infinite resources. Was this done with a mod, or in a different way?

[cold sequoia]

Fill in Nomnom and I had grabbed Goatfungus to check out also

[cold sequoia]

Nomnom

[cold sequoia]

Get nomnom and shiw me pic with that one since this one i have open is nomnom please I just need to see exact digits and compare to mine

Once I can get issue sorted tlits bye bye to the tools one has gone already and nomnom is next

Going deeper with mod has slightly taken my fun away with the game but also my head been not great so mainly my head

But the issues is killing me

[round sinew]

@cold sequoia

1. sorry, i'm still not sure what this means, "infinite resources". do you just mean that you like added tons of radiant shard stacks?

[cold sequoia]

Yeah to 9.999.999

Actually was more than that tbh

I think the second tool changed irs numbers to 9.9.999.999 where nomnom i think was much more

[round sinew]

ah i see

[cold sequoia]

@round sinew is this right or not ?

I just want to get my game play back to normal please and ne get rid of the tools

[round sinew]

2. i dont use nomnom, i'd have to go set myself up for it and it's about dinner time so i can't help with this part right now.

[cold sequoia]

Mids in folder seams to be ok i believe

[round sinew]

3. i'd recommend deleting all stacks that are above 9999 - because that's the max the game supports

[cold sequoia]

Ok noproblem it's portable am using

[cold sequoia]

But i do have infinite item stack mod installed in mod folder

[round sinew]

ah ok

then it should be fine

[cold sequoia]

Yeah but its now the shard ain't filling my health just takes to to 0 health witch is mad crazy

[round sinew]

here's what i'd do: make a creative save without that stack size mod on. go get a sentinel ship. test. does it work? then it's indeed the mod.

[cold sequoia]

But the mod is fine it's ever since using the tools

[round sinew]

what tools

names please

[cold sequoia]

Nomnom and Goatfungus

Save edit tools

[round sinew]

what did you do with those tools that broke it

[cold sequoia]

Idk

[round sinew]

what did you do with those tools

exactly

like, step by step

[cold sequoia]

With nomnom i added fill resources to almost all

Some i left normal

[round sinew]

does that mean that you basically just filled all stacks of items that you had

[cold sequoia]

Yeah

[round sinew]

and that's all you did

[cold sequoia]

No

I messed with freighter on both tools

Then i was trying to get my original one back

Then i also changed race

Like squadrons race all to Gek

Then gek for freighter also

[round sinew]

so you did all this, went back in game, and radiant shards wasnt working properly anymore, is that it

[cold sequoia]

Yeah and the Anomaly detector

[round sinew]

that's a game bug

rad shards not working is either a mod that you have on rn, or something you did to the save

[cold sequoia]

Like the Anomaly i made those to infinite but I've scrap them to start fresh and see on what was going on if I farm a new one and used

[cold sequoia]

Am thinking it's the save

But ive got no idea what caused it

[round sinew]

restore from backup, start over, dont do 10 things in one go

[cold sequoia]

Thats why once fixed it want nothing todo with the tools

[cold sequoia]

What backup ?

[round sinew]

the backup you did, or the save editor did for you, before you started messing with your save files

[cold sequoia]

Well i deleted goat so no more back ups they gone

@round sinew just wondering if nomnom created back ups

[round sinew]

get nmsse

or send me your savefiles.

backup your save folder now

and then run the game without mods, and test

[cold sequoia]

@round sinew does Goatfungus have an upto date tool out the one i had gotten was 2018 witch Sean's pretty out dated

[round sinew]

i'm using it right now

[cold sequoia]

Is yours from 2018 ?

[round sinew]

https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor

[cold sequoia]

So am guessing last updated 3 months ago

Thats the one i had gotten so it was up to date

[round sinew]

works just fine as far as i can tell

[cold sequoia]

Am not saying it don't lol

[round sinew]

no, i mean, it shouldn't have been nmsse to break it, even though its last update was 3 months ago

[cold sequoia]

Yeah

@round sinew am just grabbing exe of it this time

[round sinew]

the exe is just a self extractable iirc

but yeah, that's fine

[cold sequoia]

@round sinew ive removed all mods part from infinite item stack because was good with that

[cold sequoia]

Never mind windows is blocking it so am just grabbing the zip

@round sinew hiw do I send you the file ?

Like hiw do I get the file to send to you

This i don't know how todo

[round sinew]

what's the problem running nmsse?

[round sinew]

zip the save folder

[cold sequoia]

It's running

[round sinew]

ok and?

goto the ships tab

[cold sequoia]

Hiw from the tool

Ok

[round sinew]

no, you need to open the save folder with a file explorer

[cold sequoia]

@round sinew ok ive export ship file abd sent to my phone ready to send to you

[round sinew]

no no

i dont need to export the ship file

simply goto the ships tab in nmmse

select the ship you use

and check the stats

[cold sequoia]

Ok

[cold sequoia]

@round sinew my health is showing 332

[round sinew]

i dont think that's normal. all my ships, sentinel or not, have 500 health.

[cold sequoia]

So maybe take it to 500 then

[round sinew]

i dont know if that could be affecting/the source of the issue, but i'm certain that's not normal

[round sinew]

i'd say so yes.

[cold sequoia]

Ok ive changed it to 500 then

Let's load up without mods part from 1

[round sinew]

ok

[cold sequoia]

@round sinew ok since trying to edit the amount of shards I had has made it so ive had none and I did make it 400 shards witch is odd

[round sinew]

so nmsse let you add a stack of 400 shards?

[cold sequoia]

No i used nomnom but its made it so I have none

[round sinew]

i don't follow, sorry

[cold sequoia]

So now it's left me to go get mire from a planet

[round sinew]

still dont get what happened off game, but ok, go grab a shard and try recharging something on the ship, the shields maybe

[cold sequoia]

Ok I'll just get in a battle ill report back asap

@round sinew it's fixed now thanks for your help

So wondering if it was the save edit then

[round sinew]

try putting half of the other mods you had running at first, back in - retest

[cold sequoia]

Ok I'll do this later off it now

Thanks for helping me

[round sinew]

🙂 all good, anytime. have a good one

[cold sequoia]

Thanks you too

Off back to my bed i go Rip

[still narwhal]

Is there a mod that makes your Mintoaur be able to hold flame throwers and other weapons without having to change it's design?

I like default design more than the liquidator but I still like the weapons...

[hearty wasp]

it's prolly possible to do but no

[fresh arch]

Does the exocraft flamethrower module from vanilla game not work on the minotaur?

[hearty wasp]

I think they just don't want it visible

[fresh arch]

Ya know what

Since I'm stuck on airport and I have Steam Deck I can actually check in game

Well we can't put that module on

So maybe swapping the inventory type on the tech module would work

Hopefully it will use any of the existing locators in mech scene

[mortal wren]

Trying to replace the background of the start screen, what the hell am I doing wrong?

original image for refrence

[cold sequoia]

Hello all

I want to inquire about something please and would like a answer if possible please

Who is free to talk plesse

Recently i tried to ask something todo a mod not sure witch mid allows todo what I am trying to inquire about

So before beacons update we could angle parts like floors instead of straight this one m8d would allow this now ever since the beacons update and parts are easy to connect it seam I can no longer can angle parts like floors and was wondering has anyone else noticed this also

Sorry not sure what mod is called it's one of building ones I believe maybe like something like gbase or one like it

[round sinew]

have you tried exosolar's beyond base building?

[cold sequoia]

Thats another i have install

Is it exosolar that allows todo this ?

If it is then it seams we can't angle parts it just wants to place down flat

It did use to angle on couple of ways but now it's not happening

[mortal wren]

Fix: Use BC1/DXT1 compression

[cold sequoia]

@round sinew so you ever see my S class build i had started and underneath i makes the curve ish porch and the Electromagnetic machines are well that what am talking about it allow floors to be angled instead of straight

I know am not going insane lmfao

Even though my head probably is

But still

[hearty wasp]

just fyi you should always check the vanilla counterpart and match their compression type, RenderDoc should make it as easy as opening the image to check its info

[round sinew]

idk sorry, i dont really do complex base building/nor use base building mods

[cold sequoia]

Ok same here

Idk

[cold sequoia]

It's only for author to know

[round sinew]

i remember that there were a bunch of them

but i really only remember BBB

[cold sequoia]

Yeah i mite try get fire to read my message

[round sinew]

just be patient, if no one catches you today, try again tomorrow, gentle nudge

[cold sequoia]

Ok

[solid hawk]

BBB has nothing to do with snapping

EUCLI allows this angling with a toggle in the Lua

[cold sequoia]

I believe we can't do that now since beacons update

[cold sequoia]

Tbh ive just been thinking that makes more sense because I don't currently have Eucli installed am waiting for experimental to finally drop to then get updated Eucli version

[hearty wasp]

The lua has been updated a few weeks now

[solid hawk]

And 5.73 now released

[cold sequoia]

What the update is out now that's cool if so

Thats good that they finally dropped another patch update

[cold sequoia]

Updating as we speak

[cold sequoia]

Does the latest version of Rectum work with the new NMS update by any chance ?

[solid hawk]

Should work perfect with NMS 5.73

Winder always builds for experimental and what was experimental yesterday is now public build.

[hearty wasp]

RecTUM is lua only once again

So just run it thru AMUMSS

[cold sequoia]

@hearty wasp can you tell me if this is right or if I need todo something else please it defo don't seam right because there was other folders and files

Ive deleted old folders and installed theys 3 like this in Mods folder

[final hazel]

The game doesn't read LUA files, those are to be used with AMUMSS

[cold sequoia]

Ok was thinking that will grab it now

Cheers

@final hazel what's the latest update for Amumss ?

Is it 2nd Feb 2025

[final hazel]

I have no idea, it's always auto updated for me

[final hazel]

That's probably the one I downloaded

[hearty wasp]

AMUMSS self updates via github

[cold sequoia]

Is this the page I get it from ?

[hearty wasp]

When you download from Nexus it's just a txt telling you to go to github anyway lol

[cold sequoia]

Nice

Thanks alot just making sure

[cold sequoia]

Could someone create the mod files for me please and I'll pay you ive got no idea what am doing with Amumss am a noob

Ok so what i did so far is

I put First Rectum folder with Lua file in a folder called modscript then I allowed to to create and it created 2 separate folders into mod folder but am nit during if this is correct

I did choose L for lean mode thinking maybe thus is fine

@final hazel hi dude could you help me please

[solid hawk]

Lean is fine

[cold sequoia]

Ok

[solid hawk]

Lean, Dev, Full do NOT change the processing of scripts, only what is output to the console.

[cold sequoia]

Right

[hearty wasp]

if you can see RecTUM in your MODS folder then you did things right

[cold sequoia]

No

[hearty wasp]

did you put the folder inside ModScript instead of the lua file itself

[cold sequoia]

Yes

[hearty wasp]

don't do that

put the lua file right in ModScript instead

[cold sequoia]

Or

Ok let me do that then

[solid hawk]

Although in this case it doesn't matter, because the game doesn't use .lua files directly, be VERY careful about how you extract archives. Here you've created a new folder, named after the archive .zip. This will not work with regular mods, as all the files will be one level deeper than they should be.

Can always tell when the mod folder in mods has a bunch of numbers after the name.

[cold sequoia]

I see

Well ive got 3 lua files to create into 3 mods Rectum Milf Sacs

[solid hawk]

Put the three Luas into AMUMNSS\ModScript, then run Buildmod.bat

[cold sequoia]

Or ok

[solid hawk]

When prompted if you want to combine or create as individual, choose combine

You'll probably get a few innocuous notices at the end

[hearty wasp]

nah don't combine

combine makes them mbins

[solid hawk]

Ah ok

Then create as individual. Output will be EXML patch files, where applicable

[cold sequoia]

Now run the Bat

[hearty wasp]

ye

[solid hawk]

Delete the buildframe rectum folder in there, not needed, only the .lua at the root of ModScript

[cold sequoia]

Ok done that

[solid hawk]

Like QP said, run the bat and choose Individual

[cold sequoia]

Ok

[solid hawk]

If you say Y to putting into MODS, it'll automatically copy the output folders\files to MODS for you

[cold sequoia]

For game version I choose public and not experimental

[solid hawk]

Yes, although currently doesn't matter, as public and experimental are the same, until next experimental is released

[cold sequoia]

Ok

What do i choose here ?

It's all right ?

[solid hawk]

You wanted N for individual

Then A for copy to MODS

So close that and start over

[cold sequoia]

Ok my bad

[solid hawk]

It happens

[cold sequoia]

Ok it's doing the process

[solid hawk]

Should only take a few seconds, then you'll be golden

[cold sequoia]

Still creating

[solid hawk]

That's fine. Hardware dependent on speed.

...and the new MXML to EXML process makes things a little slower than it used to be

[solid hawk]

Should be good. Press any key to close

[cold sequoia]

Done

Whats next

[solid hawk]

Go look in MODS, should see the new mod folders there

Now can go play. 🙂

[cold sequoia]

I guess i need to delete those 2 Amumss folders

[solid hawk]

One thing there, the EISS (better space station sell everything). Only one version at a time, get rid of the other three

[solid hawk]

Can leave those, won't hurt anything

[cold sequoia]

Really

[solid hawk]

yep

[cold sequoia]

Or why i thought they not all the same

[solid hawk]

They are not the same, but make changes to the same sections. Pick the one you want and get rid of the other three

[cold sequoia]

Ok

I want to donate another 10 pounds for helping me who should I send to ?

[solid hawk]

...and thank you for using several of my mods, lol

[cold sequoia]

Last time I sent to Q pro

[solid hawk]

There will be an update for Ultra Base Building later today.

[cold sequoia]

Sweet

But i guess the middle still will work right

[solid hawk]

That's up to you.

[cold sequoia]

Yes I do

[solid hawk]

If QP great, if me great. If you want to donate to me, go to Beyond Base Building page, look at sticky in POSTS tab for links

[cold sequoia]

Ive donated 10 again to qp

And left yous a note

Thanks very much

[solid hawk]

np

[cold sequoia]

@solid hawk ok so my game just crashed while trying to open mod menu

[solid hawk]

mod menu?

[cold sequoia]

Not mid menu i mean build

Menu

My bad

[solid hawk]

hhmmm, not sure. Winder did just reupdate scripts for MILF, SACS, RecTUM, and EUCLI, although not sure what changed...and as mentioned Ultra Base Building will be getting an update today, when I get the chance (as will Beyond Base Building and EISS).

Same as any other time, remove mod folders until the crashing stops.

[cold sequoia]

So I'll try removing the ones your updating

[solid hawk]

Ultra Base probably the only one of those three that might be the culprit, as it has many MBIN.

[cold sequoia]

@solid hawk damn I had forgot to delete Eiss as you said lol

[cold sequoia]

Ok ive removed that out for now let's give it a try

[solid hawk]

Keep one version, jetison the other three

[cold sequoia]

Yeah ive done that now

@solid hawk that fixed it

@solid hawk do you think it's possible to strip speeder ship parts to fabricate into your own colour style using a mod and i know theres no mod of my knowledge of doing this with fabricating ?

I think it's possible if Yous had made interceptors possible

[solid hawk]

FriendlyFire did the interceptors one. I haven't messed with fabricator. That would be a major thing, since the speeder ship is NOT procgen, only comes in one color, and only has one seed, as I recall. Would need to be made procgen and no way of knowing how different seed values would affect without trying.

[cold sequoia]

Ok thanks

[solid hawk]

Well, my 3yo just got up from his nap, so window has closed on me doing any mod updates now. lol

[cold sequoia]

Lol

[solid hawk]

Which fixed it, removing Ultra Base or the extra three EISS?

[cold sequoia]

Idk i removed ultra any ways

[solid hawk]

ok, could be either or then. Ultra Base needs an update due to the MBINs, but could also have been the NMS EXML parsing engine getting confused by multiple versions of EISS being installed (add in listings in one version, remove those same listing from another).

Feel free to chuck Ulta Base back in there to see if crash resumes. Not strictly necessary, as I will be updating it tonight anyway, just curious.

[cold sequoia]

All 4 eiss i had in the game was working fine but yeah could be the update

Ok I'll exit out niw and try for you

[solid hawk]

Yes, because this update contains a change to the game EXML patch parsing engine, specifically dealing with the _remove tag, which EISS uses heavily.

[solid hawk]

Thanks

You know how with EISS, there's multiple build objects in the same build menu listing, for some stuff? New version of Ultra Base will have the same

[cold sequoia]

Lol

[solid hawk]

This is to reduce number of top level build menu groups as we were right on the edge of the limits with UBB, EUCLI, and Kibbles installed.

Hard coded limit

[cold sequoia]

I see

[solid hawk]

All kudos to WinderTP\QP for figuring out the Composite object stuff. 🙂

[solid hawk]

drumroll......🥁

[cold sequoia]

I'm deed

[solid hawk]

Did it crash with UBB added back in?

brb diaper change time...

[cold sequoia]

@solid hawk sorry was collecting feet command missions resources lol

[solid hawk]

for the 3yo, not me

[cold sequoia]

Yeah i do need my diaper changed lmfao

[cold sequoia]

Moment of truth am loading back up now

@solid hawk yeah crashed again

[solid hawk]

Thanks for checking

UBB update in the next few hours, when the kids give me a chance

Dogs need out, then have to make dinner, in the next half hour

[cold sequoia]

Cool

[solid hawk]

Doh, I'm out of wax paper

[cold sequoia]

It's probably be morning when I download it any ways since it's late niw in UK

[cold sequoia]

Say what now lmfao

Why you need wax paper lol

[solid hawk]

For dinner. Cooking in the oven. Use wax paper, things don't stick.

Easier cleanup

[cold sequoia]

Ah non stick cooking paper

[solid hawk]

Brain in IRL mode now. haha

[cold sequoia]

Lol

Almost similar to kitchen foil

[solid hawk]

I've literally a one track mind. Physically lost the ability to multi-task mentally.

Hence why I can't update mods right now.

[cold sequoia]

Rip

[solid hawk]

Change in brain chemistry, which I attribute to being on high dose pain killers, 24/7, for an extended period.

[cold sequoia]

Not cool

[solid hawk]

Is what it is

[cold sequoia]

We all are on pills for something or rather lol

[solid hawk]

True enough

[cold sequoia]

For me am taking antidepressants and blood pressure pills at the age of 34 this not good mate smh

No one want to be taking pills long periods of the years

Or for the rest of there life

[solid hawk]

What I'm taking is temporary, until the C is gone

[cold sequoia]

I understand

[solid hawk]

IF, lol

[cold sequoia]

Wish you all best recovery dude

[solid hawk]

Thanks 🙂

[cold sequoia]

Noproblem

Down stairs area they caught it early with my dad but he don't need treatment and Hope he never does

@solid hawk just want to let you know with kibbles and bits when going to scroll down on page it glitches back you to the top so it makes it mire harder to even look at oarts and scroll r8ght to the bottom if you understand what I mean

It's like jump glitching back up to the top

[solid hawk]

We'll need to take a look.

[cold sequoia]

Ok

[solid hawk]

Sounds like one of two things though. A duplicate entry or hitting on the build object per top group limit. Seen both cause that same symptom.

Whomever can get to looking first, Winder or myself, as that mod is shared.

Probably him though, so your 10 pounds hard at work. haha

[frozen flint]

Cool.. now try to add the function for flight/attack mode for the wings.. they're not always opened up ^-^

Give the NMS devs some ideas

[hearty wasp]

that's a photo from 2021

[hearty wasp]

just generally if you encounter any issue you should report it in the respective mod's page in the bugs tab

which is what I recommend you to do after trying out deleting MODSETTINGS

and do post MODS folder if you make a report

[solid hawk]

...and besides being from 2021, NMS mods can't really add animations

We're stuck with what's already in-game

[cold sequoia]

Where is the mod settings is that the file that Enableds and disable mods ?

Good night guys off too watch something and eat

[hearty wasp]

yes the GCMODSETTINGS file

[cold sequoia]

Yeah that's the one I'll delete it when next back on

[frozen flint]

Which sucks.. some ships really should have manual-activation settings for solar sails, or other various wing positions

[solid hawk]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2230 As good as it gets

[frozen flint]

Sad

NMS should take note from multiple ships in Star Wars as well as other similar sources of inspiration.. examples include but ARE NOT LIMITED TO:

X-wing, U-wing, ARC-170, etc.

All with standard flight and separate attack positions :/

[solid hawk]

Too much inspiration leads to copyright infringement lawsuit.

[frozen flint]

Inspiration for concepts are fine. The general idea of wing positions are not copyright.

[solid hawk]

Very much doubt they'll add an x-wing type ship like that. HG is very legal issue adverse.

..and as mentioned, the ones added by mods, we can't animate.

[cold sequoia]

So i was looking on Nexusmods and whiie looking it say updates for Build frames mods and am like hold on a minute is the ones I got are updated ones and was wondering what time it actually was when I downloaded them and that I do not know lol

@solid hawk I see Ultra you updated it great job mate

[solid hawk]

I mentioned earlier that Winder has just updated those again. If you've already downloaded a specific version, it'll show you...

If you haven't, that orange cloud with the down arrow will be missing

[cold sequoia]

Ah OK

I'll get up any ways and check and download ultra update

@solid hawk I find it hard to even keep up and it be another pain when they release another big update just sucks man

[cold sequoia]

I was only looking on my phone and not on windows thats what I need todo lol

[quiet ether]

hey guys do u have a mod that increase draw distance of grass ? i hate to see it pop around me. All the mod made previously for that seems out to date

[smoky pulsar]

so bk

[round sinew]

shoot

[smoky pulsar]

for pc save editing do i need to have java runtime enviroment 8?

[round sinew]

to use nmsse, yes - a java runtime is required, yeah

[smoky pulsar]

hmm ok

give me some time to download stuff

bk is there a yt video for this?

[round sinew]

for?

[smoky pulsar]

downloading it for first time

[round sinew]

java?

[smoky pulsar]

no just the save editor

[hearty wasp]

read the instructions on its github page

[smoky pulsar]

i kinda get the guide on the website but i dont want to mess up my game

[hearty wasp]

you can't

[smoky pulsar]

hmm ok

[round sinew]

backup your save folder before you start playing with save editor

keep the backup safe

[hearty wasp]

if you can't run the save editor you can't ruin anything

so just try to follow the instructions first

[round sinew]

what option?

it's a matter of preference, or for some, not caring

because both options lead to the same result, if you have java installed: you being able to run the java program in this case, nmsse

[smoky pulsar]

hmm ok

i think i got it worked out

thanks for help

ok now this confuses me as the names for stuff is nothing like in game names

[round sinew]

what are you looking at/need to know?

[smoky pulsar]

let me launch the game one sec

[smoky pulsar]

expedition 18, 17, 15 and 13 as i missed them and wanted to know what the awards look like

[vale iron]

The save editor won't show you what they look like

You'll need to look up a webpage

[smoky pulsar]

yeah i have

jsut some of the names are off

but i managed to get most of it

and i had a look so i am not to fussed just hope they do a re run of some expeditons

[round sinew]

17 and 18 will rerun later this year yeah. and instead of unlocking stuff with the save editor, i'd suggest save editing quicksilver into the save, then use consumerism mod to make those rewards appear in the quicksilver shop - buy them that way, probably way less messing around

[smoky pulsar]

oh intersting

i will wait for the re run of expedition 17 and 18 to happen first

[round sinew]

the line of thought would be only if consumerism doesn't have something i'd then think at more save editing.

[solid hawk]

For awareness, by later in the year, it's meant end of the year. They rerun that past years expeditions over the Christmas holiday season.

Just so you're not looking for it next week 🙂

[round sinew]

right! sorry, oops 😄

[solid hawk]

You can also replay previous expeditions, whenever you wish, by using https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2996

[smoky pulsar]

i know i have done a re run before

[smoky pulsar]

and it gives you the rewards in game?

[round sinew]

yeah

@woeful geyser service bot is an app that will let you get anything you want for free. Starships freighters multi tools, don’t go over board . Get the ship and walk away. Google NMS service bot and it’ll pop up a website called nomansapp.com

[hearty wasp]

or just go there

where the bot is lol

[woeful geyser]

But im on xbox

@brittle reef ??

[hearty wasp]

that's irrelevant

bot works as long as you can play multiplayer

just go to the server linked above

[quiet ether]

@hearty waspthe ship thing is free ?

[vale iron]

Some ships. Go to the site and see

[brittle reef]

Yea, you use your phone on web browser. Follow prompts

Sorry, car broke down.

[cold sequoia]

@vale iron hello mate can i ask what's happening with custom ships mod please am just looking it up now on Nexus mods?

[forest acorn]

anyone have the tool that lets you see a ships seed?

[solid hawk]

He's working on it, but also on vacation. This isn't an hours or days thing, it's a weeks sort of thing.

[solid hawk]

https://nomansapp.com/transcender

[cold sequoia]

Ok cool was just wanting to ask about it to see what's going on the custom ships look cool

With sentinel fab mod can it add Tank feet ?

[solid hawk]

No clue. Don't use it. Try and find out would be the best way.

[cold sequoia]

Your right I was thinking on installing it to try it out before coming off not long ago maybe I'll install when next back on to try it out

[solid hawk]

Can probably tell from screenshots on the mod page.

If no sections for landing gear, then no tank feet

[cold sequoia]

Yeah it did not l9ok like it thats why am asking lol

[cold sequoia]

Thsts a shame if not

[solid hawk]

Guessing he didn't want to waste one of the limited "slots" on something with only two options.

[cold sequoia]

Ok

[solid hawk]

People post sentinels here: https://discord.gg/WqJr4Qev
Can get a seed, then just replace the seed on yours with one you find, using save editor

More than one way to skin this cat

[fresh arch]

what people call "tank feet" on sentinel ships is not the landing gear, it's a variant of vertical wings

And yes, my mod has an option for them

[smoky pulsar]

hey so i got a problem i save edited to see what some expedition awards look like and now after un checking them in the save editor i still have them available to clam any help?

[round sinew]

basically, they got unlocked account wide

[smoky pulsar]

can i not undo that?

[round sinew]

after un checking them in the save editor
where, in the account tab?

[smoky pulsar]

yeah

[round sinew]

iirc there's other places that you need to look at as well

[smoky pulsar]

oh man

you got any idea where?

[round sinew]

e.g. edit raw account json/usersettingsdata/unlockedseasonrewards, and then also from game install folder/binaries/settings/gcusersettingsdata.mxml

[smoky pulsar]

all of this on the save editor yeah?

if i knew it would cause the many problems i wouldnt have bothered

[round sinew]

raw json edit is in save editor, gcusersettings is with a normal txt editor

[round sinew]

did you backup save folder before starting? then you always have something to go back to, and this time only get the stuff you want

[smoky pulsar]

yeah i did

but i replaced the folder after doing it and it was still showing

[round sinew]

that's probably because of gcusersettings

[smoky pulsar]

so what do i do?

[round sinew]

example: this reward here, in my account tab

[smoky pulsar]

yeah

[round sinew]

is also seen in game install folder\binaries\settings\gcusersettings.mxml

[smoky pulsar]

yeah

[round sinew]

also here

[smoky pulsar]

yeah

[round sinew]

and also here

[smoky pulsar]

so i need to clear it from all these places?

[round sinew]

yep, afaik

[smoky pulsar]

hmmm let test with one thing and see

[round sinew]

also, as mentioned before, in the raw account json editor

[smoky pulsar]

also to oepn the text fiels what are you using

[round sinew]

double check if it's here too

[smoky pulsar]

wait what

now i am more confused

can i start a screenshare to show you what i got open?

and if these are the right things?

[round sinew]

notepad++ will do just fine

[smoky pulsar]

hu i am just using notpad

[round sinew]

should be fine too i guess

backups

[smoky pulsar]

hmmm ok

[round sinew]

do backups before you mess with game files

[smoky pulsar]

i do

at this point i might jsut get the mod to buy the rewards as knowing my luck i am going to brick my game

thanks for the help tho bk

[round sinew]

basically, yeah, that's the least error prone approach

[smoky pulsar]

thanks for trying to help tho

[round sinew]

take care of gcusersettings

that should be easy enough

you already restored the save folder backup

[smoky pulsar]

but this looks like there are way to many steps to do

[round sinew]

gcusersettings is just deleting 3 lines basically.

[smoky pulsar]

can i ask why?

[round sinew]

because you want that file to be proper?

it tracks what you know

if you dont delete it here, it'll most likely still show as available

or known in the catalog for example

[smoky pulsar]

i probably sound so dumb

but i am confused

[round sinew]

you're overthinking this

it's a simple text file

you open it

[smoky pulsar]

shall i do this before installing the mod does it not matter?

[smoky pulsar]

yeah i got it open

[round sinew]

i dont know what you added, what you didn't etc etc

[round sinew]

you need to know what things exactly you dont' want

from there you can keep going

[smoky pulsar]

i added the lving armour the diving armour and the iron vulter ship

[round sinew]

and now what

you want to unlearn them, is that it

[smoky pulsar]

yeah

so it doesnt show available every time i go to the expeditions guy in the anomaly

[round sinew]

let's start with iron vulture:

account tab - you unticked that, saved changes, loaded game, it was still showing as available, correct?

[smoky pulsar]

yeah

i unchecked it

[round sinew]

on this tab, it tells me what the reward ID is.

it'll be the same ID everywhere we need to look in.

[smoky pulsar]

ok

[round sinew]

still in the editor:

• confirm what "unchecking that box" actually did or didn't:

[smoky pulsar]

i did

[round sinew]

we need to check/delete it from:

• edit raw json editor (the save itself): basecontext/playerstatedata/{knownspecials, redeemedseasonrewards} for the relevant id
• edit account json (the account file): usersettingsdata/unlockedseasonrewards for the relevant id

edit raw json:

[smoky pulsar]

so go on both of thoes and delete where it says that?

[round sinew]

yes

edit account json

this entire part doesn't matter if you just restore the save folder backup you did before starting to mess with it and unlock any boxes

if you do that, the only file you need to be concerned with is not in the save folder at all

but in the game install folder, under Binaries/SETTINGS

the GCUSERSETTINGSDATA.MXML file

[smoky pulsar]

why did even do this

i am a dumbass

i just caused myself alot of headache

for no real reason apart from wanting to look at stuff

[round sinew]

i dont know what else to say

to me, this is plain text file editing

if you like you say, have a backup of the save folder, from before you first even touched a save editor

you restore that backup - you delete the three lines necessary from the other file, boot the game, done

hell, if you want, send me the files

i'll do it for you

[smoky pulsar]

what the files to remove all the stuff?

[round sinew]

yes, the save folder zipped, and the gcusersettingsdata.mxml file

or

you simply just don't care about gcusersettings at all

and leave it there

and ignore the fact that it says available

and then get consumerism the mod

add a bunch of quicksilver

[smoky pulsar]

these?

[round sinew]

and go unlock the stuff you want

[round sinew]

yes

[smoky pulsar]

you sure your ok with doing this?

[round sinew]

send me the files

[smoky pulsar]

ok do want me to send pick of what i want removed?

[round sinew]

yes please

[smoky pulsar]

ok let me boot the game and grab screenshots

thank you so much bk

[fresh arch]

next time just use consumerism mod

using the same mechanics as in game rewards

[smoky pulsar]

yeah i probably will

if there is a next time

[dark pasture]

Anyone know of a mod for "The Wraith" living ship to fix the tail in the back from moving off the ship and all over the place?

[fresh arch]

dont think anything like that exists

[dark pasture]

A mod to either delete the tail or fix the tail would be amazing lmao

lol watch the clip

[solid hawk]

HelloGames has to fix it. Be certain to report via Zendesk.

[vale iron]

Looks like an animation is shifting the trans way more than intended, like an order of magnitude. You can open the model, see what node that part is, then track down the animation and look for the trans portions. I would look, but I don't have enough time to look at my own stuff 😦

[dark pasture]

Will do

[dark pasture]

I have no idea how to open the model

[vale iron]

If you can use blender, use blender with the artifact build of NMSDK plugin

[solid hawk]

Here you go. Just removes the tail https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3611

[fresh arch]

babs already took the axe to the poor ship lmao

[dark pasture]

TY!!!!!!

[solid hawk]

Keep in mind, this is a temporary mod. At some point, hopefully soon, HG will fix it, then the mod should be removed and will be buried with full honors.

So, keep an eye on any NMS patch release notes for when it's fixed. But I'll also note on the mod page, when that happens.

[dark pasture]

Ok thanks a lot actually looks good without tail anyway haha

[solid hawk]

Then can keep it in your rotation permanently. lol

I would have stolen your video for the mod page, to show the issue, but NexusMods doesn't allow uploading local videos, only youtube links. haha

[dark pasture]

No prob! So glad I can use this ship without that tail annoying me to death haha

[solid hawk]

Ok, did steal your video. Uploaded to Youtube and added to the mod page. Credit given, of course. 🙂

My least favorite part of making a new mod\mod page. Screenshots and videos. lol

[dark pasture]

Im new to using nexus and modding stuff so ty again for doing that!

[solid hawk]

NP. Guess it's a very annoying thing. Just got a donation from someone else who downloaded the mod. Something of a rare event, so always appreciated and celebrated. 🥳

[dark pasture]

Amazing!

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3611 Must have for anyone with a wraith ship

[small arch]

I'm on PlayStation so can't mod😭. This ship is perfect but it's missing one set of thrusters and I'd add top thrusters to it.

[fringe vessel]

Do the ships players assemble in-game display parts/colours to other players in MP properly?

[fallow meadow]

As long as you use in-game mechanics, it should display the same for everyone

[fringe vessel]

Okay, so does that mean it’s possible to JSON edit a custom parts list + colours? (assuming the parts combination occurs naturally, and only the default game palette colour values are used)

[fallow meadow]

JSON editing is not an in-game mechanic, which could result in a different look for others

[hearty wasp]

You prolly won't be able to do anything different in json than in game that'll get synced in mp, if at all

[fallow meadow]

Technically, if you do the edits correctly, replicating default in-game results, it should be good for others too

[hearty wasp]

it'll be easier to directly state what you're looking to change and have us tell you if it'll work

[fringe vessel]

I’m aware of that - any chance you could shoot me a save file with a ship built custom in-game?
I haven’t actually looked at it myself, but I have an educated guess about how to get it to work, assuming my theory on how HG implemented it pans out.

[fallow meadow]

I don't have any custom ships myself actually.

Easy to just add the parts you like into your inventory, if you're editing already. Then create one to see for yourself?

[fringe vessel]

I have a lot of experience messing with JSON, just haven’t had the game for over a year and a half. I was messing with staffs before my ps4 crapped out, and also recall how custom descriptor overrides were applied waaaay back in the day to make a custom ship from parts. (Other players would just see the model generated by the ship seed, though)

[fallow meadow]

Correct, still possible

[fringe vessel]

I don’t have a current version of the save structure - far easier to get someone to test it properly if I can offer to paste a ship into one of their saves for em rather than making them do the JSON editing themselves.

And I also wanna get caught up on all the other crap that’s been changed/added

[fallow meadow]

I would recommend getting familiar with the current save data if 1.5+ years ago was he last time you looked into it

[fringe vessel]

Okay, but here’s the real question. Did HG re-enable MP sync for the character custom data in order to allow ships built in-game to display different parts than their seeds? And if so, why wouldn’t properly done custom overrides also sync properly now?

[fringe vessel]

I’d love to, got a current save I can look at? I’m sure you know how to excise the base data section if you prefer not to share your ID data

(No worries if not, I can ask a friend later on)

[fallow meadow]

We can create custom ships in-game (fabricator), but there are still limitations that come with it. If you go outside of the limitations set by the game, it will likely not show the same for others. There is plenty data that can be adjusted freely to your liking, but there is no guarantee this will sync to others the same way

[fallow meadow]

Do you not have NMS on PC to just update and have a look yourself?

[fringe vessel]

Yep, I’m well-versed in NMS shenaniganry - theories are great, but they almost invariably set up roadblocks in sequence due to unforeseen interactions in the game, lol.

Save editing is where I come up with “safe bet” ideas - I’ve been trying to explain a non-PC build concept in #nms-base-building for hours on how to actually connect player bases with SRT transit…
everyone else seems to have given it up as the impossible piece needed for a MP city-type build years ago, but I’ve attempted 2 prototypes over the years, and learned enough that I believe the 3rd time may just be the charm. It’ll be a few months til I can grab the game and something to play it on again - it’d be nice to line up a 2nd builder in advance, though, it took months of looking to get volunteers for the other tries lmao!

[fallow meadow]

Ah yes, I have been following that discussion. A teleport system is certainly possible, especially with Save Editing being an option. An easier way is to connect SRT pairs to lead to base boundaries, where you overlap one of the SRT ends from each base, to allow further instant TP.

[fringe vessel]

That works for 2 friends that want their bases connected, but unless things have changed, ODS refuses to send base data for the 2nd base to players, so it can only be shared live between players.

One other thing to note, I want it to work anywhere, so no testing on high traffic planets - there seem to be less restrictions when building on RV and weekend mission planets

[fallow meadow]

That is actually something I am currently testing

[fringe vessel]

Awesome, I look forward to your findings. 🙂

[cobalt condor]

Fabricated ships all have the same (model) seed, the parts that players customize are overridden. When you see a player with a fabricated ship in multiplayer, you get their customization data sent to you and can see it correctly, yes.

The data that is shared is a list of IDs for the parts plus the colour and texture options. The IDs aren't the same as the ALTIDs used in procgen, there's a table that maps which ones correlate to which ALTIDs (because the fabrication is simplified compared to procgen and one fabrication ID could map to a specific combination of ALTIDs).

In terms of the colour data, I'm not totally sure but from what I've heard from other people, each colour is stored as RGB values - however, if you save edit a value that doesn't match any of the fabrication options it won't load properly in game.

You can save edit a fabricated ship into a different design, but you can't make anything that you can't already do with the in-game fabricator because the only part IDs that exist are the ones that are used in game, and you can't set colours that aren't available in game.

[fringe vessel]

Alrighty then, apparently I hit the theory nail square on the head with this’un, lol, thanks - your response 100% lines up with how I figured it’d be set up. 😊

[vale iron]

@fringe vessel Trails and thruster lights are assigned by locators on the models, which cannot be modified by save editing. You can only fix that with a mod, which wouldn't be visible in multiplayer.

[fresh arch]

@fringe vessel I happen to have a fragment of save data JSON containing data for a fabricated ship

However, it relates to my Sentinel Starship Fabricator mod and contains data you won't find in vanilla game, so only thing you could learn from it is the structure

If you're interested I can share it here

[fringe vessel]

Certainly, much obliged. 🙂

[fringe vessel]

Ah, that is something I hadn’t considered - however, there’s a simple solution: try to match my custom combos with seeds that have matching engines, and preferably lighted accessories. Since my taste runs mostly to Fighters and Solars, that’ll be an easy place to start - I’ll worry about Interceptors if I ever decide to work on ‘em, may or may not happen. 😊 Thanks for edifying me.

[fringe vessel]

Alright, seems simple enough to me, I can likely find every colour code option in the full palette listing - I’m still curious how adding all that extra bulk to save data works; it’s counter-intuitive, and my programming knowledge is too limited to guess how it’s the best option… I’m just aware enough to suspect there must be a good reason to set it that way. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[fresh arch]

the reason is someone decided to store all colours data from all palettes despite them being used for something and it stuck to this day

fabricated ships use 3 colour palettes, exoskiff uses 1 - doesn't matter, write all colours to save data

[cobalt condor]

The proc texture system can access any of those colours so I guess they need them all there

If HG (or a modder) decided to make the ship paint texture pull from the leaf palette instead of the paint one then I suppose it would be a headache if those colours weren't in the save

nevermind that they could just generate the colours from the seed, which is where they come from initially anyway though lol

[trail nebula]

I have achieved my goal

Now I have a new goal

how do i transfer a save file from the microsoft version on pc to the steam version on pc but i cant open or use the microsoft version anymore because i had it on xbox gamepass

You should normally be able to do this using NomNom (save editor). However, the Xbox GP save files do have to be on the PC you are using, to be able to be used for transfer.

[hexed skiff]

So the communism and consumerism addons are awesome tyty, what else is super easy and gamechanging?

[fresh arch]

nothing is really gamechanging, all mods can do is expand slightly on what the vanilla game already offers

There are mods that add more items to galactic trade network, mods that give better rewards for in-game actions, etc

Browse through Nexus Mods, pick from recently updated / newly releases whatever strikes your fancy

[dusk saffron]

Faster Movement mod is top of my list.

[void moth]

Is there any mods to take the menus attached to your hand in vr mode and make it float in front of you instead. my hands shake too badly to see the menus well when attached to my hand lol

[fresh arch]

one can count mods made for VR on one hand

So most likely not

[void moth]

shoot. ah well. thank you tho

[solid hawk]

That being said, if you want to buy one of us a VR set, that could change. lol

None of the prolific, major, long-term modders for NMS has VR. Makes things complicated.

[void moth]

thats understandable. ill just have to play it without vr. it looked fun from the videos but im just unable lol. and i dont have the modding know how to attempt it myself

[fresh arch]

starting with modding will not be an issue

we're talking about potentially modifying UI related files

Which are a clusterfuck and a half

thousands of lines long, a mess of nested nodes, many of them without ID, very much guesswork

and that is without even considering the VR aspect

[solid hawk]

Doable, but non-trivial and very time consuming.

[void moth]

and for the few that have this problem its not really worth while for anyone to deal with the headache less its something they are dealing with themselves most likely

i guess i can always just load a save and experience the cool parts in vr

Closest I see is https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3062

[hollow hill]

brooo, Better planet generation isn't working on my game, what do i do? it woeked just fine yesterday

[fresh arch]

no it didn't

Mod last updated in 2024 can not work in 2025 due to extensive changes HG has done to the mod loading

[hollow hill]

huh?

wait

hang on

ah

i just noticed

lasagna biome generation is disabled

f#ck

so that was the mod

huh, no, it's not working too, huh????

[fresh arch]

do you get mod warning screen on game startup?

[hollow hill]

yeah

no mod is workin on my game man, why???

nooo, i shouldn't have messed with the generation mods i had on yesterdaaaay, now my base is ruined 😭

[fresh arch]

http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

read the troublshooting section about the mod settings mxml file

Game probably disabled all mods, remove that file so game can load all mods again

[hollow hill]

i did that, i've been trying that over and over for the entire day today basically

does it have something to do with the mod manager? i am using nexus

[fresh arch]

No, it's not related to mod managers

If game detects an issue with mods, it can disable all of them as a safety measure

[hollow hill]

the other mods are working fine

[fresh arch]

then check the file I've mentioned whether that particular mod is enabled there

[hollow hill]

uh, which file? and also, i did the trouble shooting the doc said, about deleting the GCMODSETTINGS.MXML file., changed nothing, mod doesn't work

[vale iron]

Post a screenshot of the lowest level of that mod's folder, with the full path visible

[hollow hill]

i don't understand what you mean, lowest level of the mod's folder? what's that? the bottom of the lasagna biome generation mod?

[hearty wasp]

in MODS folder, click into the individual mod, screenshot that folder

[hollow hill]

ok, here

[hearty wasp]

with the full path visible

don't crop

[hollow hill]

ah ok

it's in portuguese but it says "this computer> Local disk (C:) > program files > steam

basically the usual path

[hearty wasp]

why do folders in your first screenshot not exist in your second screenshot

[hollow hill]

ah wait

i sent it wrong, sorry

[hearty wasp]

move all folders in this to MODS folder

[hollow hill]

here is the file of thje mod

[final hazel]

Yeah all of those folders inside lasagna 3.21 are supposed to be in the MODS folder

The game does not read into subfolders for extra mods

If the folder for a mod isn't at like the root level of the MODS folder then it is ignored

[hollow hill]

but like, yesterday it worked

[hearty wasp]

ok

[hollow hill]

game crashed

[hearty wasp]

mod old

when was that last updated

should see it on the mod's page

[hollow hill]

it uploaded 5 months ago if i am not mistaken

[hearty wasp]

yeah could just be old

[final hazel]

Yeah, the mod hasn't been updated for Beacon it seems

[hearty wasp]

if you want you can test with just the lasange mods in your MODS folder and start a new save

yeah if it has custom models it's gonna take a while

p sure there's a version that doesn't use custom models tho

[hollow hill]

ok it oppened up now

[hearty wasp]

maybe try that

[lone flame]

What is the recommended Save Editor for NMS? I want a Photonix Core, but since it was a launch exclusive, it's the only way

[round sinew]

i'd recommend nmsse

[hollow hill]

what nmsse stand for?

[agile portal]

‘no man’s sky save editor’ if I had to guess

[hollow hill]

is that a mod? the only thing i found is a github page

from like, 2 years ago

#nms-modding message

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/367

For those who tried this mod, does this mod good? does it contains furniture for kitchen, bathroom, living room, etc.

[fresh arch]

This mod has an extensive gallery that shows what kind of stuff it adds

This isn't a game that will let you place a kitchen sink, so don't expect stuff like that

[cold sequoia]

It's an awesome mod

[cold sequoia]

Lmfao

[hidden rapids]

When you play with mods that add stuff like base decorations are those modded objects visible to other players?

[hearty wasp]

yeah they just need to have the mod too

[tidal isle]

is there a kitchen, living room, bathroom, etc. furnish? that's what No Man's Sky lacks, can't build a proper house 😂

[cold sequoia]

Lol

[solid hawk]

Not so much.

[craggy oracle]

Is there a mod that affects LOD? Having a hard time finding one

[lost valley]

Hello i'm trying to install this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3308?tab=description

but it seems to have stopped working

or i'm doing something wrong

[final hazel]

The only one I can think of is https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1316

[cold sequoia]

In NMS folder you got that data folder in there you want to create MODS folder and then you want to place the mod folder into the MODS Folder and then load the game you should get mod screen then you should be good Togo

@lost valley

[lost valley]

i followed the instructions (and first tried it via vortex) but still nothing 😅

[cold sequoia]

Weird

Am not sure them

[lost valley]

me neither 😅

[cold sequoia]

I can't help anymore sorry

[lost valley]

i couldn't find what i was supposed to remove and thought that maybe the automatic instal of vortex removed them but no

[cold sequoia]

Am not sure what vortex has todo with mods

[fresh arch]

http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

[lost valley]

usualy when you download a mod with vortex from the nexus website it instal the mod for you

[fresh arch]

Ditch Vortex, do manual installation according to this guide

[cold sequoia]

Do what fire says

[lost valley]

i tried the manual after and still no result, i will try reading that

[lost valley]

Will do 😂

[cold sequoia]

He is an Author after all so he knows alot more than me lol

[lost valley]

It seems complicated just for having the game not stop when on another screen xD

[cold sequoia]

Is not complicated

It's easy for 5 year old lmfao

[lost valley]

well i haven't slept in 25h my brain might have regressed

[cold sequoia]

Thats your problem then lol

You no longer have a brain its just all slime now lmfao

[lost valley]

Clearly, my night was over when i got that fight to get the freighter, . . .

i had to savescum

Ok so i got the message in the game that mentionned mods but still the mod do not act

Yup it was an issue between the chair and the keeboard

It's all good now, Thanks 😭

[hollow hill]

ok i asked this on NMS help, so i'lla sk this here, is there any mod or something of the kind that would allow me to make a zoo?

[fresh arch]

no, mods can't add functionality that doesn't exist in the game

You can try making a holographic zoo with wonder projectors displaying static images

Or in case some mod offers it, buildable animals with no AI / animations attached

But I don't think there's such a mod available

[cold sequoia]

You can create a bones museum lol

[solid hawk]

Ultra Base Building

[solid hawk]

^, with the caveat that only those who have this mod installed will be able to see the creatures

This is a game limitation, no way around that.

[cold sequoia]

Thats why HG need to add much more with build area

Alot of variety

[craggy oracle]

I’ll have to try it out but I think that’s what I’m looking for. Thanks!

[fallen lotus]

So i want to start doing the expeditions but I'm not sure on how to play the game offline apart from disconnecting my ethernet

[hearty wasp]

sounds like you know then

[fallen lotus]

I don't want to not be able to talk to friends on discord

[hearty wasp]

you can always use your phone for discord

[fallen lotus]

So you don't have any knowledge on how to do it any other way?

[hearty wasp]

basically all other methods requires a shit tons more setup to block just the connections going to HG servers

and don't forget you'll have to undo those changes afterwards as well

but feel free to wireshark all the IPs you need to block out

[round sinew]

why not simply firewall block the game

[fallen lotus]

Didn't know i could, don't normally mess with network stuff

[round sinew]

you could block the game through firewall, if you're on steam you could also quite simply go offline on steam (not just friends list offline)

[fallen lotus]

How do I go offline on steam?

[fallen lotus]

Damn, right in my face, well thanks so much for the help

And that will let me run old expos no problem?

[dusk saffron]

worked flawlessly for me, just follow the instructions

[fallen lotus]

TY SO MUCH NICE PEOPLE

[tall apex]

Hey, does anyone know if there's a mod that let's you rotate base building parts to a specific angle, kind of like a snap-to, instead of just the smooth default rotations? Or really any mods that make building easier with snap-to positions

[solid hawk]

tesseraction...hasn't worked in years

Can also try using EUCLI

Snappy Industry adds snap points to selected objects

[hollow hill]

Ok, uh, but would it be possible to make aninal companions unlimited, and undespawnable? Like, keep them there forever?

[solid hawk]

Nope

NMS modding we can change values for existing properties. Number of pets is hardcoded.

[hollow hill]

But is it possible to make them undespawnable?

Cuz then i could just make a crap ton of saves with max companions and spawn them in my base

[solid hawk]

Wouldn't be able to have multiple out at one time, sorry

If you had one, which couldn't be despawned.....you wouldn't be able to spawn any others. Stuck with that one forever.

General rule of thumb, search for mods on NexusMods, if you don't see a mod that does what you want, after almost 9 years, fairly safe that it isn't possible

[hollow hill]

Life is sad

:(

[tall apex]

Thanks!

[naive island]

What the best mod to get that dang rare creature to actually spawn

[solid hawk]

Best bet: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1826

Ones that adjust the actual spawning or rarity, can also cause a reroll on creatures. This won't do that.

[naive island]

I’ll try it out. Need to find these last three rare underground creatures.

[round sinew]

@ionic star yeah, seems that there's mods for it https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2821, this one is outdated though it seems to provide a lua file to recompile

[ionic star]

thanks

[hollow hill]

are there any mods that make creatures bigger? like, generating bigger creatures or letting us make our creatures be bigger?

i tested 2 of them but they seem to be broken and don't spawn bigger creatures

[solid hawk]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1771

Will not affect pets you already have, as their stats and size are stored in your save and mods can't directly affect save data. That's the job of a save editor.

[hollow hill]

that's the one i was using, not working

[hollow hill]

also, how would this work? i wanna give a shot at a save editor

wanna make godzilla so bad

[solid hawk]

Do you have other mods installed that are confirmed running and working properly? Follow the troubleshooting steps in this document: http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

[hollow hill]

yes i do, i got a bunch, and already tried this trouble shooting method

[solid hawk]

Maybe an issue of expectation. Nobody is going to make a mod that generates 400ft high godzillas. You get a herd of those on screen and fps plummets to 1. The point of mods is to make peoples game experience better, not worse. 🙂

As far as the save editing goes, don't do so myself. You can find those who do at https://discord.gg/AEXcap6, in the #savegame-edit channel

[hollow hill]

nono, it's actually not generating bigger creatures

the only thing it is doing is spawning the big spider monsters

but the other creatures are regular size

these creatures i mean

it's the only big creature it is giving me

[solid hawk]

ok, I think he's just using a multiplier on the max size generated and leaving minimum size alone, so they can be generated anywhere in that range, with the largest and smallest being the rarest. procgen. That bug definately seems larger than standard max size, to me.

It's not making all of them ginormous.

[fresh arch]

not necesarilly, I've seen some pretty big bugs in vanilla

but besides that, all the mod does is changing parametes like max scale

[solid hawk]

Relative to his character size, looks bigger than normal to me

Yes

[fresh arch]

It doesn't influence what type of creature spawn where
