nms-modding

[solid hawk]

It's very simple to get items, whether via mods, save editing, or glitching. As that game is completely non-competitive, nobody worries much about that.

[scenic leaf]

do you guys know of a mod that helps with finding gold star resources?
i was looking for something like that even before my break but never found anything
(im big fan of mutant plant gas farming xd)

[river fable]

hey guys, can somneone help with switch from Permadeath to normal mode?

[vernal viper]

oh wow this + integrated planets looks sooo much better, honestly i'm surprised these aren't in vanilla

i particularly like how crescent worlds kinda has the similar vibe to how some of the skies looked in pre-release nms pics

[warm spoke]

O ty for the info, just asking so I don't do stuff that's bannable

[dusk saffron]

here are the codes for changing in the JSON in the save editor

#nms-modding message

[short wolf]

Anybody tempered with save file/modding?

I'm tired of rerolling freighter

If I rewrite my freighter class to S class. Is it actually going to be better than a C class?

[dusk saffron]

If you use a Save Editor, you might as well expand all the freighter inventories to the max, and increase all its stats, and add good modules. That makes more difference than changing the class

just paste this into your JSON tech section, be good to go

if you don't know about save editing, go to this server, there is a save edit channel

https://discord.gg/KHdKpKWs

Thanks okay

[shy grove]

Interesting, that invite's showing invalid for me. Sharing below the invite we have that's not expired.

[shy grove]

Here's the invite we have for anyone tryiing to access the expired URL above

[hearty wasp]

it's working for me

but I'm already in there

they prolly just made a temp link that expired in like 6 hours or someshit lol

[dusk saffron]

hmmm, yeah, my invite now says invalid

"don't delay, they're going fast"

[scenic leaf]

hey, i have an issue with a mod reducing fleet travel times (not working)

do you guys know any alternatives, or am i doomed to >20h fleet expeditions?

[final hazel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1921 This mod should do that, if it isn't then the basic troubleshooting steps in #nms-modding message should work since it either works or doesn't

[short wolf]

@final hazeldo you use a save editor?

[final hazel]

Yes, I do occasionally for various purposes

[short wolf]

save editor can't get me the expedition ship i assume?

[final hazel]

It can, as you can simply import them into your save

[short wolf]

Oh

How do I find the file to import the ship?

[final hazel]

Which ship are you trying to get?

[short wolf]

The starborn one

[final hazel]

The Starborn Runner or the Starborn Phoenix?

Both of which have mods to unlock them with an emote option, which may be easier to do:
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3242
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3270

[short wolf]

Alright alright

I was hoping that save editor can change the class of hotspots too haha but I looked and it doesn't show the option

[final hazel]

That is not possible, no

There may be a mod to enable hotspots to always be S but I do not know

[short wolf]

A save editor can change a freighter class right?

[final hazel]

Yes, it can

[cold sequoia]

Yes

[short wolf]

If I change the value of damage potential from 400 to 1000 on a ship. Will it be reflected into the game? Not just the numbers changed

[final hazel]

You can't directly change the damage potential, but you can change the damage bonus that multiplies it

You can increase the damage bonus of a ship to whatever you wish I think, though it may be buggy going far above the intended values (fighters normally have the highest damage bonus ceiling at 90)

[short wolf]

Okay

Changing the values have an impact to the game right? Just wanna make sure

[final hazel]

It's impact is what you make it, like if you add more damage bonus then you will do more damage

There are no consequences to doing so, besides any side effects from going above intended limits

[short wolf]

Okay

do you use goatfungus save editor?

[final hazel]

Yes, I do

[short wolf]

Which save button do you press?

Post modding

[final hazel]

File > Save, if I recall

Which saves the changes to the specific save it has selected (autosave and restore point are different saves)

The odd numbered save is the autosave, while the even numbered save is the restore point

NMSSE will automatically begin editing the newer one of the two, so if you did all this with the game closed then you don't have to worry about which one to load

[short wolf]

@final hazel can we also tinker with the supercharged slots?

Home seed and model seed, what are those?

[final hazel]

Yes, you are able to add or remove supercharged slots to your exosuit, starship, freighter and multi-tool

[final hazel]

Home seed is the seed of a freighter's crew I believe, while the model seed is the seed for the freighter model

[short wolf]

How do I do that in a freighter?

[final hazel]

By selecting the technology inventory of the freighter, and right-clicking slots to modify them

[short wolf]

Nice I didn't know that. Thanks

[short wolf]

by following this rule. We can also modify the values of upgrade modules?

[final hazel]

We can by changing their seeds, but only within intended values due to that

And with knowledge of good seeds, which people have made spreadsheets for

[short wolf]

oh

where can i find the spreadsheet?

[ornate ether]

im following the modding after 5.5 file and downloading vortex
thats all i need right

[dusk saffron]

scroll thru Resources channel here:

https://discord.gg/WTdAf6sh

[fresh arch]

You don't need Vortex or any other mod manager for NMs

Just download, unpack, copy, paste, play

[short wolf]

i don't see it

looking for best upgrade modules seed value for exosuit

[dusk saffron]

maybe in pinned, should be named something from Arcane

if not, ask in that channel

@short wolfoh crap, it is upgrade seeeds channel, sorry

@short wolfI pasted the link to the list in upgrade seeds channel

[ornate ether]

i didnt have any MODS folder initially so i created a new folder and named it MODS
is this how everyone else does it?

@dusk saffron

[cold sequoia]

Yes correct

[ornate ether]

is there a mod to remove the size limit for creatures?

im planning to create the king of the alien megafauna
godzillaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[solid hawk]

If you mean larger spawned creatures, then https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1771 .

No such thing as removing a limit, there's always a limit of some sort.

In the case of the above mod, just increases max size allowed.

[ornate ether]

[ancient atlas]

Yo anybody have any idea why a shader mod won't load the shaders? I've enabled the mod use in the txt file and it says mods are active when I load the game but it doesn't activate?

[round sinew]

see instructions/infos in this link http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

[hearty wasp]

post a screenshot of your MODS folder like this

[fresh arch]

Its not a shader mod

It's a ReShade preset

It's digital equivalent of a cloth hanged over the monitor to change perceived image

Look up how to use the ReShade program and load that preset in

[hearty wasp]

lmao

also next time you can post the link to the mod page instead of a screenshot of it since links to Nexus Mods are not blocked on here

[ornate ether]

my game crashed and did this after i tried a new mod so how exactly do i re-enable the mods that weren't doing shit

[final hazel]

It tells you how to do so right there, go to No Man's Sky\Binaries\SETTINGS\GCMODSETTINGS.MXML and either change "DisableAllMods" to false or delete the entire file and let the game rebuild it on startup which would do the same thing

[ornate ether]

so i have to delete this and then the game will create this document again WITHOUT my corrupt mod right

[cobalt condor]

You have to delete or disable the broken mod yourself, it won't do it automatically

[final hazel]

It will not remove your "corrupt mod", you would need to remove that manually from the MODS folder, or change the mod's "Enabled" to false in the new GCMODSETTINGS.MXML file

[ornate ether]

K

[final hazel]

The game crash may not have even been because of one of your mods, the game blames any crash on mods being installed so it's probably fine

[ornate ether]

i see

[hearty wasp]

you remove the mod by removing the mod

if you go to your MODS folder and sort it by date you should be able to see which is the oldest and thus most likely to be causing issues

you can also always just post your MODS folder whenever you encounter an issue #nms-modding message

[humble star]

hello

can anyone tell me what nomnom save editor does?

[round sinew]

it allows you to open, view and edit nomans sky save files

https://github.com/zencq/NomNom has some images

[humble star]

will i get banned?

[round sinew]

nope, devs wont care. devs would only care if you disturbed or messed with other players freedoms

[humble star]

i see

thank you

[slim slate]

Something to keep in mind with NomNom. If you add items to your inventory, add them to empty slots. Trying to edit or change things in inventory causes it to bug out, and trying to mess with equipment will show them to be "obsolete" when you load back in game, forcing you to remove them and build or install new ones. I think it's not quite up-to-date or something.

[humble star]

how do i know how many of a single item can i stack in one slot ?

[slim slate]

I don't think it will let you go over the max in a single slot.

[humble star]

ahh

[slim slate]

And it shows it in the bottom corner of the item like normal, I think.

[humble star]

i see

thank you for the tip

[slim slate]

Sure.

[humble star]

isnt using this mod better than the service bot?

[slim slate]

I don't know what that is, sorry. I don't run many mods. Only needed NomNom for a couple things. (Re-unlocking Expedition rewards I earned but which didn't transfer when I switched PCs for some reason.)

[humble star]

ohh

i see

it doesnt let me add anything

[humble star]

do i have to download both or just one

[slim slate]

Just one

[humble star]

its not letting me edit anything lmao

or most of the stuff

[slim slate]

Did it find your save files and everything? If it's able to auto-detect them they should show up in the center of the screen. Bottom one should be your most recent. After clicking on it then click on "Edit Save" in the window on the left, then you'll see a variety of tabs, etc.

To add an item right-click in an empty inventory space.

[humble star]

ok lemme try

[solid hawk]

NomNom is NOT a mod, it's a save editor and no, not better, different.

[dusk saffron]

and both have a learning curve, which gets harder for certain stuff

[cold sequoia]

@solid hawk hi With Starborn phoenix unlocked how does that work will it make it available at Quicksilver store ?

[solid hawk]

Just offers to you for trade

[dense nest]

are there any mods that allow piloting the freightor like a starship

[solid hawk]

No, nor can there be. With NMS, mods do not allow adding functionality that doesn't already exist in vanilla.

[dense nest]

damn

they really need to add that to the game

[solid hawk]

We can do things like make 1 a 5 or change blue to green

[dense nest]

oh

[vale iron]

I don't think they really need to add it. The gameplay value would be extremely small. Most would probably try it for 5 minutes, get bored, and never use it again

[obtuse bear]

Any data miners that can send me a folder of all Exosuit voicelines?

[vale iron]

Need to be more specific. I don't know that there is any folder for that. Do you want th elanguage file entries maybe? I'm not sure what would accomplish what you want

[obtuse bear]

Basically, the sound files for exosuit voices in a zip folder or something like that. Just want to hear all of them. If necessary I can verify I own the game or get assistance with data mining it myself

[vale iron]

Check the files listed here. This silences almost all voice lines, but you can use the file names to figure out the vanilla files. It does miss a couple of lines that were added since the mod was made, but covers 95%+ of stuff
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1783

There are voice replacement mods that are more recent that probably cover more lines

[solid hawk]

Yep, no point in redoing what's already been done. Here's the most recent Exosuit voice changing mod...https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3616 . Just see what this one changes.

...and not really a data mining thing. Only way to be 100% certain of getting ALL the Exosuit voice files is to listen to every single WEM and BNK in the game, as the indexing isn't complete.

[obtuse bear]

I’ve never detained this game before, so how would I use the information to play sound files?

[vale iron]

They're all WEM files, which I think most decent audio players can handle. Most of the audio files are WEM packed inside BNK files, but almost all of the suit files are just loose WEM, so they are easier to work with. BNK files have been a pain in the butt for me in the past, but I didn't put much time into it

[whole prairie]

Is there a mod that let's me change the color of my starship more specifically my sentinel interceptor?

[fresh arch]

There is a mod that offers a simplified assembly procedure for Sentinel ships

Can't change colours on an existing one

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3044

[whole prairie]

Ah. Cool. I guess you need pieces from salvaged ships just like building your own?

[hearty wasp]

from the mod description

you can go in the mod page to read the rest

[dusty sequoia]

guys how do i do it for mods on pc game but downloaded from xbox app?

i play using gamepass pc subscription

and i dont have the disablemods folder

[fresh arch]

The same way as for Steam or GoG

http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

Read this guide, it has steps for installing and troubleshooting mods

[dusty sequoia]

there is no info of what to do if the folder doesnt exists 🥹

[fresh arch]

You can just make this folder yourself

HG doesn't ship the game with the intention of people running mods

So they don't include this folder

[dusty sequoia]

oh cool thought might be a problem or neede something extra... you never know, thanks bro

[vale iron]

If you run across anything different in Gamepass install, ping me so I can update

[dusty sequoia]

maybe the path is little different but thats it... like \No Man's Sky\Content\GAMEDATA\MODS see it says content instead of going directly... and for shader mods you need to put dll files in here: \No Man's Sky\Content\Binaries cause there is the .exe of the game. thats it

[vale iron]

Shader mods?

And what dll?

[hearty wasp]

prolly talking about reshade

[short wolf]

@final hazel is this really a starborn? i have been messing with goatfungus save editor and idk how haha

[final hazel]

That is the Starborn Runner, yes

[short wolf]

is it the actual stats of a starborn runner?

[final hazel]

Probably not

Idk how to read in-game stats

At least to relate them to internal % bonuses

These are the bonuses that the Starborn Runner has normally

[fresh arch]

You got the Radiant Pillar reskinned into Starborn somehow

[final hazel]

That too...

[short wolf]

do you use goatfungus?

[fresh arch]

Did you use the service bot to get it? If so you should have selected the reward unlock option instead of ship delivery option

[short wolf]

can you help me with acquiring the actual starborn via save editing?

no, i used goatfungus

[fresh arch]

Doesn't matter what I use because I'm on a work trip and won't be able to help you anyway

Then you gotta find the ship section in save data and probably replace the model / scene file

To the generic fighter scene MBIN

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3242

Use this mod instead of save editing, much less fuss and you're getting the exact ship

[short wolf]

alright

[short wolf]

@final hazelis this how you position the mods files?

[final hazel]

Yes, as long as once you click into the mod folders there aren't further folders with the mod's name

[short wolf]

i didn't tinker with mods folders other than extracting it and putting them there. I should be good?

[final hazel]

As long as you get the mod warning on startup, that means at least one mod is working

[short wolf]

@final hazeldo you use consumerism? the only way to get the expedition ships is by exchanging? i cannot add the ship to my collection? i have to barter it?

[final hazel]

Yes, that is a limitation of the mod/game I believe

Just purchase a junk ship to replace with it

[short wolf]

hello guys, i really really need your attention and feedback.

do any of you have installed this mod and still work now?

[cold sequoia]

If it's just Exml then should work if not look to see if its updated

[short wolf]

thx 26 may 2025 should work

[hearty wasp]

you can preview file contents in the files section

so just do that and see if there's an exml file in there

[short wolf]

yup, exml indeed

[queen onyx]

so i decided to delete my vortex profile for no mans sky because i wasn't using it and it does not have anything in it, but when i read the warning it said that it will also delete any associated save games. i do want confirmation if its safe to do so

i do also wish to know how to backup a saved game as i don't know how to.

When sharing saves in a report to Hello Games, it is best to create a package/archive of the full folder shown for your platform above (.zip/.rar).

[hearty wasp]

I have no idea in what ways vortex could possibly do that

[fresh arch]

Make manual backup of the directory related to your platform

And yeah it sounds like BS

[hearty wasp]

you may wanna ask in the Nexus Mods discord instead for that specific notice

[fresh arch]

Unless mod staging folder is somehow the same as game save folder

[hearty wasp]

I'd wager it's just a blanket statement which may not apply to every game because vortex deals with so many games

or you simply have misread the notice

[vocal quiver]

I have some mods installed i just updated drivers and this problem hasnt happened before

When im bored i like to put a movie on and play nms but when im trying to do that today it just suddenly keeps crashing and says i dont have enough video ram but this hasnt happened before

[fresh arch]

What problem, game crashing? Or something else

If game is crashing with message of mod incompatibilities detected then you could be running an outdated mod

If game is crashing with message about something related to graphics or memory, it's highly unlikely mods are at fault

Mods aren't convoluted enough to affect graphics or memory to this degree

[hearty wasp]

you have already identified your issue as video drivers so you should first try to change your video driver, probably by downgrading it

I hope this helps but I don't see how mods need to be in consideration in any way

[queen onyx]

so an update on my situation, i deleted the vortex profile and, yeah everything is completely fine

i don't know why it said that especially since it wasn't doing much to the game at all

[vocal quiver]

its pops up 2 things something about video ram and something about it could possibly be mods but this has never happened to me before today

[lime mesa]

Idk about NMS but vortex sometimes doesn't put mods in the right place as much as I love vortex and am an advocate for it.

[fallow meadow]

@quasi mason Here is a mod I found that changes the font to include various language specific characters: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3119
Something similar here, not sure if it is what you look for: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3078
Do note this pin for current modding: #nms-modding message

To add, I am not familiar with any of this, but I am sure you can judge if it would be useful to you. Do not hesitate to ask further questions however.

[quasi mason]

Thanks a lot ! Will try it tommorow and report the results

[cold sequoia]

Help with anything question please

Witch mod already has the newest Deco from the quicksilver store reason I ask they been showing already owned

So just curious to know witch mod would if make it available before unlocking already at that store

Because i really wanting to do this legit with community tiers unlocking

[solid hawk]

Only one would be consumerism

That's the only mod which makes available those sort of quicksilver shop rewards

[cold sequoia]

Ok thanks mate

[ornate ether]

guys im gonna add a 0 to the size limit of certain creatures in this mod i downloaded
nothing will screw up if i ONLY touch the number inside the size value right?

[solid hawk]

Why would you think that?

[ornate ether]

so will it break or not?

cuz i dont wanna lose my save file cuz of a stupid mistake

[solid hawk]

Do it the RIGHT way. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1771?tab=files

10x version

You don't specify the mod you're using, so can't say one way or the other, but for every numerical property value, there's a range the game will accept. We cannot see what these ranges are, obfuscated data. Outside of that range, can cause issues.

That being said, mods CANNOT directly affect save data.

Worst case, if you cause creatures that are too big to spawn is your framerate will tank, causing the game to crash.

If concerned with save issues, backup your save files first. 🙂 You're asking for a guarantee, when nothing is 100% certain under all circumstances. Not going to happen. Like asking someone to guarantee that there's no chance of you getting hurt tomorrow.

[fresh arch]

Yeah better to stick with the values provided by the mod author, they (most likely) did their testing and released the mod in a functional state

Keep in mind, just because a mod file lets you set the value to 1000x original, it doesn't mean the game will like it

[solid hawk]

Probably you won't, but could trip, branch could fall on your head, or a giant meteor strikes the Earth.

[ornate ether]

i'm not planning to make it 1000x the original limit

[fresh arch]

I read you but the point stays the same

There are some limits in place in game's executable which we have no insight into

[ornate ether]

ye dw its ok

[fresh arch]

You edit the value 10x and it works, cool

You edit the value 11x and game could stop responding

[ornate ether]

well i was planning to add a single 0 to the size values i wanted to edit

[solid hawk]

Again, backup your saves FIRST, then you're covered, just in case

[ornate ether]

ye dw

ok i backupped my save file

im proceeding to edit the sizes

ty for the help

i will be adding a 0 to this value

[solid hawk]

Won't have any issues at all, as long as you add the 0 to the right of the decimal place. 🙂

[hasty kraken]

guys one question

if i download client side things like planet clouds in 4k

i can still play multiplayer? like with others/ entering the anomaly?

[fresh arch]

Mods do not prevent people from playing MP

More details can be found in pinned messages on this channel

[solid hawk]

...and basically, all NMS mods are client side

[vocal quiver]

is there a reason when i deleted one floor my whole base got deleted?

[dusk saffron]

with a mod?

[vocal quiver]

im not sure i have some mods installed could it be them or just nms being nms

[solid hawk]

Probably a reason, but no way to tell for the minimal information.

[vale iron]

The limit of 10x is in place because the collisions don't scale properly and you start seeing very large creatures phasing through terrain objects. The bigger you make the creatures, the worse it looks. You can make it really high, but it will look pretty bad. Your choice. There is a limit where the game will crash (depending on your hardware and the creature type) if you make it too high, but it shouldn't affect your save at all. If it crashes, just lower the value.

Or I guess, more accurately, the crude collision shapes that don't match the more detailed visual meshes are exacerbated with size, where they become less and less accurate.

[spring steppe]

Does NMS have shaders that influence volumetrics?

Mods, that is

Just for the sake of bringing it up: Volumetrics anywhere near this in No Man's Sky would be incredible

Thick fog and godrays, basically. Any planet could look stunning

I don't expect there to be a mod for that since NMS doesn't give those tools to the community, but I think it's worth a shot asking here

[steel crypt]

I don’t know if there is a Reshade preset for something like that… if that’s what you’re asking.

There are already systems, including shader systems, in NMS that do all of those things natively. Fog, particles, “Godrays”, diff sky and light effects, etc.

Not sure about mods that might be available that affect those systems besides DUD’S SKY - COLORS … “Skies” mod, which is currently not available …. for reasons.

There might be others, just not aware if there are.

[solid hawk]

Yeah, not a lot of true shader mods for NMS. Argh Water, which has been deprecated for awhile and Crescent Worlds

[still narwhal]

I can’t log on right now so if someone has a link to a mod that makes their ship looks like its from star wars that would be nice.

[solid hawk]

Only one going now is https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1064 . You will have to wait for one to show up, then trade for it.

Only those using this mod will be able to see it, how NMS works, as all mods are local.

Guess there is a means to force certain ships only to show up by modifying the Lua script and processing through AMUMSS. See "Spawn Pool customisation instructions with AMUMSS" on the Description tab.

You will need to download from NexusMods yourself though. Due to the many model files in the mod, it clocks in at just over 1GB. 🙂

So, fix your login.

[final hazel]

New mod because I couldn't find one that already did this
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3648

[fresh arch]

Well that's one way to do it, nice work

Next version: replace the images with head

[final hazel]

I still don't know how to replace the signal booster reading but this still does the job

[final hazel]

I was actually debating something stupid like this but it would get very annoying, maybe a streamer could replace it with their logo or something lol

Seeing while making it reminded me of how spooked I was to appear in Likholu due to a random vanilla bug

I still can't replicate it lol, even though it happened twice in a row

[scenic leaf]

do you guys know any mod that increases max output stack for refiners?

[lime mesa]

Is there a mod that shows the guild for each station/system? I know the guilds are grouped by region but it’d be so much more convenient if that info was readily available at the teleporter

[fresh arch]

No such mod exists and 99% sure it can't exist

At least not with standard modding

[cobalt bay]

Does anyone have the repo for triceratops parts of the game? I didn't find it in nms creator server

[indigo spindle]

I don't exactly know what that is, can you provide a bit more context?

[indigo spindle]

oh IDK where that is, sorry I can't be more helpful

[fresh arch]

I see you posted in the creative hub link at the dedicated channel

Yes, I do

comment section a bit confusing lol you got one guy saying this

but another guy saying its broken..

[patent rover]

does it work in the current version of nms?

[final hazel]

That shouldn't have anything to do with this mod, this is the entire mod

it's one harmless variable, they just seemingly died while afk in a completely normal situation

[final hazel]

Yes, it does

[patent rover]

gotchaa thanks

[final hazel]

There's also this mod which disables all forms of pausing https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3364 but it's a bit extreme lol

[patent rover]

yea i dont think i would like that for now the alt tab unpause is all i need lol

[solid hawk]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3211

[scenic leaf]

I actually meant the amount of each item sold not number of different items but thanks

[solid hawk]

Should handle both

If you want increased Quantity, but only vanilla items offered, easily doable.

This should do it. Process through AMUMSS to generate the mod folder\files.

You don't want so much, reduce the Quantity variable number

[patent rover]

doesnt work my radiation bar still pauses when alt tab ;/ ill try the other mod

[final hazel]

It does though, did you get the mod warning upon startup?

If you didn't then the game did not detect any mods

I use this mod every day, I'd know if it works or not

[patent rover]

no i didnt

im on game pass

[final hazel]

gamepass supports mods the same way that Steam does

[patent rover]

okay apparently there is a new way to install mods, was watching a 3 year old guide lol

[final hazel]

Video guides from before Jan 29 2025 are hilariously outdated

[patent rover]

going to try the more recent guide video

[final hazel]

Please read this #nms-modding message

It's the only source I can confirm is up to date

[patent rover]

okay the 2nd video works i got mod warning now

and radiation bar is regening while im alt tab

ty

[solid hawk]

In general, videos for NMS are mostly worthless. Tend to become quickly outdated.

[vale iron]

Yeah, avoid videos for information on NMS. They are usually either incorrect, completely guessing, or out of date. Almost always some combination of those.

The overlap between "people that know anything about modding NMS" and "people that make YouTube videos" is not very populated

[lime mesa]

Is there a mod that allows the build mode camera to move around more freely, such as being able to pass through the terrain and other structures?
It’d not only make building a little easier in general as well as help me locate a couple building pieces I accidentally placed in the ground

[final hazel]

There is, but it hasn't been updated in a bit but I think I updated it myself or someone commented a link to an updated version I forget, I can send you the zip file for my version of it

[lime mesa]

oh wait think i found one - is this the one you’re talking about?

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3300

unless this is outdated too 😅

[final hazel]

Oh! That's a new version of it!

Was trying to find lol

[solid hawk]

That one should work

[final hazel]

I think I was mixing it up with another mod, but yeah that one should absolutely work and may be the one I have right now lol

I just couldn't immediately find it over the unupdated one

I will save that link lol, it is the one I use

[lime mesa]

perfect - this is a god send, glad i asked/checked before deleting my entire build 😅 ive misplaced so many pieces and recently learned the build limit applies to your total bases and not each individual 🥲

[solid hawk]

There's both an individual and overall build object limits

[lime mesa]

wow the build mode camera mod immediately became one of my favorite finds on the nexus
pls tell me there are more mods like it that makes building as painless as possible, if there are id love some recs! 🙏
specifically looking for one that would help with the alignment of objects align (i.e placing light fixtures in a neat row) and one that allows adjusting placement height (i.e lowering a landing pad fully into the ground instead of floating an inch above it)

[viral venture]

does anyone know an mod that works with the worlds II or beacon update that is similar to this one https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3115 ?

[fresh arch]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2333

This one maybe?

[viral venture]

i will try that one, i saw it when i searched but it didnt specify which update it was made for

[pulsar python]

Can you add in mods into a save even if you have already played in it?

[viral venture]

yeah, i do that all the time

[fresh arch]

Yes but keep in mind one special case

When you wanna install a mod that affects biomes or terrain generation, it's better to save on the space station before loading mods in

You don't wanna spawn trapped in some biome assets or new terrain shape from the mod

[solid hawk]

Only thing that will do what you list is using free placement.

Just the way the game works, and with NMS mods, we can't change base functionality, in most cases.

We don't mod what we want with NMS, we mod what we're allowed to.

Specific to snapping, what you want is dynamic snapping, where in NMS snaps are static. Good example being if you use scaling (making an object bigger or smaller), breaks snapping, because as you scale the object, the snap points either become buried too deep in the object (larger) or are caught outside the bounds of the object (smaller).

[lime mesa]

It’s a damn shame that NMS doesn’t have as much modding functionality as Skyrim for example, perhaps the next NMS or their upcoming game will either have more support or better yet improving base game functionality - although of course that’s easier said than done
Thank you anyway, really enjoy a big majority of the mods you and Exosolar have created, they’ve made game play so much smoother!

[solid hawk]

Can't line up rows neatly without snap points neatly in a row and no means to just add snap points to the ground.

[solid hawk]

Skyrim has an API. NMS (and upcoming LNF) does not.

The concern, from HelloGames perspective is twofold. 1) An API, allowing low level access, also compromises some intellectual property that they do NOT want public. 2) Supportability. They do not support modding officially. With deep API access, vastly increases chances of mod caused breakages and they are a small company, without the staff levels to deal with that kind of support.

Appreciate that you like the mods, enjoy. 🙂

[slim aurora]

Holy shi im saving this

I need this sooo much for building

Also Babs, thank you for all the recent work you put into the modding scene! I saw my favorite mod got updated by you!

[patent rover]

is there any mod that lets u use ur analyzer visor and scanner while ur inside ur ship?

in vanilla scanner works (u can see the animation electric wave thingy) but it doesnt show any icons on the hud, the visor (pressing F) doesnt work at all

[fallow meadow]

@median kettle There is a single so called 'boolean' value that locks the difficulty settings. (raw JSON edit).
Do note that changing to a different game mode can be more involved. Do feel free to ask for further assistance though. As suggested, make a backup first just in case.

[solid hawk]

Cool, which one?

CSO?

[slim aurora]

Yup!

I love how that mod makes space look clean while still keeping the color

[solid hawk]

Hardest part of taking over abandoned mods is permissions due diligence

Have to make a full faith effort to contact the original author. In many cases long gone.

With CSO, wasn't bad. Neptune got back with me in a week. I'd collaborated with him before, about 4 years ago.

[median kettle]

I will at times! Thank you so much for feedback.

[patent rover]

are there any flight mod that adds vertical and horizontal thrusters like in star citizen and elite dangerous

[vale iron]

No and there can't be

[surreal ore]

Quick question, is there any mod that enables the use of a free cam or disables the time freeze of camera mode? Specifically need it for space-based recording.

[cobalt condor]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3364
Stops time from freezing in photo mode.

[patent rover]

fuck its so weird after playing those games lol

[surreal ore]

Works perfectly, thanks you so much :D

[dusk saffron]

simulators vs sandbox game

can you imagine hitting "e" to land in Star Citizen?

[patent rover]

yes lol

[solid hawk]

NMS modding can't add anything that doesn't already exist in vanilla

There's no properties for these in the game and we can't add new ones.

[median kettle]

Hello Devilin Pixy, it's me again with a brief question. May I also contact you privately via Discord regarding my savegame request if I had more specific questions about the editor et cetera?

oh thanks, used the info and looked at the files another 3 times until i found it out

nvm it aint working correctly

[fresh arch]

If you really need all rewards you can try using mods Consumerism + Communism add-on

1st adds exped rewards and other items to QS shop

The later makes them free of charge

[visual ivy]

ill try that if this doesnt work

what do i do to this? from videos ive seen theres supposed to be a bracket behind it

[fresh arch]

The heck is that supposed to be

[visual ivy]

after the d4u theres supposed to be 2 square brackets where you can add in expedition rewards

except theres 1 and some weird symbols

[final hazel]

What™

You can just click the check boxes in the save editor for your account data, then go in the game and claim them

[fresh arch]

If you're trying to edit encoded save data like that you're just asking for trouble

[visual ivy]

idfk what im doing tbh

[fresh arch]

Use the save editors prepared by community, see the pinned messages for links

Yeah and that didn't stop you from claiming it doesn't work somehow

See this post: #nms-modding message

I thought there was a “Quagmire” planet lol. I named a Quagmire Planet “Giggity” one time. Pure vanilla game too

[final hazel]

There is a biome name "Quagmire" exclusive to marsh/swamp biome worlds

[daring lodge]

I remember I found one. Thought it was a joke ngl. So I named it Giggity. Cant find it again unfortunately. Hopefully someone can find it. Its either in Euclid or Herald

[dusk saffron]

"Hopefully someone can find it. " Not likely

we can't put 4 supercharged slots in a square on nomad? i made 4 square SC and save file. The second pic is the result.

@short wolf Could be hardcoded with exocraft, just like the tech/inventory slots

no mods for exocrafts?

[dusk saffron]

[grizzled nexus]

Anyone have an Egg or seed for a skeletal worm companion?

[final hazel]

I have an egg of one, but note that they can be very non-functional due to not being intended to be companions

[grizzled nexus]

Thanks this text file will do great thank you!

Is there a bone style shark out there?

[final hazel]

There is not, to my knowledge at least

[grizzled nexus]

Last question, is there a way to make any animal a bone creature by using the SET_BONEXRARE descriptor? Or is there more involved?

[final hazel]

No, that descriptor is exclusive to the SANDWORM creature type

That specific thing is a physical model, most creatures have many of those to indicate each little bit or bob they have

Only sandworms have the bone-worm model, so using that string on another creature type either wouldn't do anything or idk something weirder

[grizzled nexus]

Ah okay. So maybe the bone four legged companion has more clues in their model or can use the egg resequencer to change its appearance somewhat

[final hazel]

The bone cow doesn't have any visual variations to my knowledge, besides bone scale (it's proportions) and it's physical size

[grizzled nexus]

Interesting. Maybe more will be added later

[final hazel]

The Cursed's bar icon is just called spook lol

[fresh arch]

The whole new hazard type HG added for this is simply called Spook hazard

[final hazel]

Yeah and that's silly I love it

[fresh arch]

Hg uses lots of interesting internal names for stuff

Like Autophage are called Builders, haulers are Dropships, expeditions are Seasons, etc

Can't recall the name but some tech module or function was called Super Duper Scanner or something like that

[hearty wasp]

the autophage guy in the Nexus is fucking SPIDERMAN

[shy grove]

I have a question. Is there an existing (reliable and working) mod that hides other players_' markers of bases, waypoints, settlements, etc?

[solid hawk]

Toggle this to Disabled

Problem solved

Beyond that, not so much.

[shy grove]

Unfortunately that doesn't do the trick. Since that only affects multiplayer, seeing other players. ODS will still load their bases in hubs and such. Was curious if there was a mod that could disable / hide all that.

[final hazel]

If I recall, this one might work? https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1906

I don't believe it hides other players' settlement markers though

[shy grove]

Ooh interesting. Hiding comm balls is a huge improvement.

[shy grove]

Thank you for sharing that mod. I'm surprised there isn't one that hides everything, as in all other players' markers that ODS serves. I wish HG would add a filter for everything. It'd help a lot of players with game performance in Hubs especially.

[hearty wasp]

I'm not really sure if the game separates the MP markers from the generated ones

I mean mp bases should be its own class but settlements I'm not so certain

[vale iron]

As Winder said, they aren't really split up in a way we can target them by group. I could probably remove settlement markers, but it would also remove your own settlement markers. That might be acceptable though

[shy grove]

Very interesting!

[median wolf]

Hi

So i wanna use a save editor to get the stuff I missed cause I didnt play at the time

And id love to play through the quests or expeditions that gets those unlocks as well

If possible

[round sinew]

save editor could unlock all of those; there's also consumerism mod https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2062 to add past expedition rewards as purchaseable items in the quicksilver shop (save edit quicksilver, claim in game). if you wanted to play old expeditions, see something like https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/

[median wolf]

Are the expedition awards the only i missed?

[round sinew]

comparing to what's available in game today, and excluding starborn phoenix (steam only, free dlc, was a time limited offer), yes

[median wolf]

Alright cool

Ill play through the expeditions

Thanks

[round sinew]

@median wolf https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1906

@median wolf for not pausing when robbed of focus, i guess this should work as well https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3364?tab=description or this https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3308

[median wolf]

Thanksss

[round sinew]

tysm jason 🙇‍♂️

[round sinew]

oh wait - sorry, forgot. there were twitch rewards too, but those were mostly just either older expedition rewards or custom pets/ships/multitools

this post lists them all i think <#nms-modding message>

oh yeah, some of the offerings in the quicksilver shop too, which basically meant you'd not have to spend the quicksilver in game to get them

[bitter perch]

Does anyone has twitch drop IDs to copy ? Or just a way to find out without using the save editor? I just want to copy paste it in the accountdata.hg

[short wolf]

the circle is the portal address glyph?

[fresh arch]

Nope, I think it's the seed value used to generate the NPC appearance

[short wolf]

Guys, how do I see a base glyphs using goatfungus save editor ?

[final hazel]

Probably by looking for it's UA and converting that to glyphs somehow I forget

[short wolf]

what is UA?

[fresh arch]

universal address

a combination of galatic address (glyphs) + galaxy index

[final hazel]

It seems they save it as a "Galactic Address" that I forget how to translate

[short wolf]

0x20790009594C3B

this is mine

i got it

[final hazel]

That's only 11 glyphs, it doesn't seem right

[fresh arch]

So I was just looking at base entries in the JSON and noticed that there are two different Galactic Address formats. Euclid uses 0x plus a 14-digit hexadecimal address. Non-Euclid uses a 16-digit decimal address. Does anyone know how these are built, before I try to deconstruct it myself?

I think it's best to ask on the creative hub server, that's where the save editing experts reside

[short wolf]

aww man 🙁

[fallow meadow]

0x20790009594C3B = 207909594C3B (remove 3rd byte (8-bit))
Glyph address = 207909594C3B

!coords 207909594C3B

[hardy aurora]

043A:0088:0D93:0079 // planet 2

207909594C3B
X:-965, Y:9, Z:1428, SSI:121
Distance from galactic core: 689404 ly

[short wolf]

oooo

[short wolf]

what is 3rd byte (8-bit)?

[fallow meadow]

That 3rd byte is basically the galaxy (Euclid = 00)

[short wolf]

How about 0x? What does it signify?

[fallow meadow]

There are various formats for addresses.
The 0x signifies it being a hexadecimal value/format, very common use in code.
With the decimal variant posted by Grouch up above, it requires conversion to hex first (best to use 16 bytes with leading zeroes if need be), then remove 1st byte and 4th byte, in a similar way
4510196791136963 = 00100600059A52C3

You will at times find values which do include the galaxy, although not commonly used with most regular save data editing

There is actually some internal use for being decimal or hexadecimal as well by the way.
For example with expeditions, where the decimal variant for the rendezvous systems will change to hexadecimal once visited.

[short wolf]

ok thanks

I think I got it.

A byte is basically two pair of numbers huh?

4th byte meaning 4th pair of number from left

[trail garden]

a byte is a pair of hexadecimal digits

one hexadecimal digit represents exactly 4 bits, as 2⁴=16

[fallow meadow]

Correct, as stated above. Just makes it easier for me to indicate which to remove. In the end it all stems from a binary value. You will find a lot of values start making sense when seen in binary, just not as easy to handle in a chat.

[short wolf]

Okay

[trail garden]

Hey. Quick question before I go to the respective discord from the pins. I want to play old expeditions (basically all of them, because I missed all of them) but I'm slightly worried by the amount of hacks and broken goals/milestones described in notes on the NMS Expedition Generator page.

Would it make any sense to try to play old expeditions on their contemporary NMS builds (i.e., historical builds) to avoid breakage? Has anyone tried that?

[fresh arch]

No it wouldn't

[fallow meadow]

Of course playing expeditions as they were on the game version it was at the time, would be best.
However, these provided means of being able to play them after the fact, have tried to make up for that as best they can. So playing an altered expedition with using an older version of the game, is likely similarly risky.

[fresh arch]

To avoid problems the best way would be just using mods or save editors

[fallow meadow]

I suggest to just play them the way they are intended by the creator of said tool/mod.
Just make sure to create a backup of your saves.

[fresh arch]

Im no save editor expert so I cant really vouch for them but I know they make backups so restore

[trail garden]

Yeah, I was thinking about using unaltered expeditions (i.e. unchecking the "apply patches" box), except for specific cases where milestones were changed to be completable in offline.

[fallow meadow]

They do make backups, when changes are made and saved. I personally just prefer to have the actual source files backed when I feel I am about to take a risk.

[fresh arch]

Mods like Consumerism or various reward unlockers by Babscoole use the same mechanics as vanilla game does to give the rewards

And dont affect the save data directly so there's nothing to break really

That and because I have experience with mods and can point to troubleshooting methods, is why I recommend using mods first

[trail garden]

(Yes, I know I can use mods and/or save editor to just give myself the rewards directly, but I don't like that conceptually. I want to play the expeditions AND get the rewards.)

[fresh arch]

Then the next best alternative is using the exped files as they have been provided

By people who did their own testing, figured out the problems and ways to circumvent them

[fallow meadow]

I'd agree there, best to play them with the changes made, assuming they include changes to prevent issues. The experience is not going to be dramatically different

[trail garden]

Okay, noted

[frigid grove]

Also FYI @lime mesa I noticed your PC tag, if that's right you can play old expeditions offline with this workaround: https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/

Or of course you can save edit if you just want the rewards.

[lime mesa]

no way

well that's actually crazy

[frigid grove]

Yeah I was really happy when I found that out. Happy enough to make a website to make it easy for me to jack around with the configs, obviously 😆

[short wolf]

can we edit those numbers?

[vale iron]

Not those numbers, but some of the numbers underlying those numbers. Actually, I take that back, most of that is only accessible by mod

All of those numbers are determined by files, techtable for the base numbers, proctechtable for the upgrades.

The numbers on screen are calculated by who knows what formula from the numbers we can see/edit

[short wolf]

Okay

Save editor also can't bypass the limitation of 3 technology modules per type?

[hearty wasp]

no

only thru mods

[dusk saffron]

how many places do you post your questions LOL

[short wolf]

It's a competition

Whoever answer first wins a prize

🤣

[solid hawk]

Win the prize of time wasted. Please post in one place only. Modding community for NMS is very small and it's the same people in all the places. If you keep cross posting, here's what'll happen, those who post the answers will start blocking you. Then you won't ever get any answers. 🙂

It's happened to others before.

Our time is valuable to us. Checking multiple places for new messages and finding the same thing posted in them is taken not as funny or cute, but as trolling. We have to spend our time reading these posts.

Great way to not get help anymore.

Take this as a learning experience, going forward.

[vivid wadi]

Is there a way to trigger the exotic ship in each system through save edit ?

[fresh arch]

No, save editors allow you to view / modify the contents of your save data

They don't touch on game files which host the parameters for various functions / mechanics of the game

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1845

you can try using mods like this one to increase the number of ships spawning

[vivid wadi]

comments suggest it no longer works

what in the hell is going on there

[fresh arch]

Gumsk is one of key modders and mod in question is an EXML patch mod so it should be still good to go

[vivid wadi]

6 squids

[fresh arch]

I wouldn't put too much trust into random comments on mod pages

[dusk saffron]

there was a mod that only the exotic spawned

seems to be gone now, sorry

[vivid wadi]

cheers for the info folks appreciate it

[dusk saffron]

@vivid wadiI would use that mod for frequency, then go in open space with freighter and respawn your freighter over and over to see which ships spawn to it in space. That is a quicker way to catch exotics, IMO

[vivid wadi]

do you still have to turn on modding in a gamefile somewhere now ?

[fresh arch]

http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

Also each updated mod should have installation instructions provided on the mod page

[vivid wadi]

yea it does work, im getting all ships on the pads at Trade Stations now

[lament zodiac]

I saw that the nexus mod has mods for NMS. Do they get you banned?

I wanna try S Class Freighter Spawn rate mod

I'm playing on PC btw

[hearty wasp]

no

you can do and use almost anything

as long as you don't actively grief other people

[solid hawk]

Here comes the hammer 🔨 🤪

[lament zodiac]

So I can increase Freighter Battle rates and I won't be banned

Or increase chance of S Class Freighter

[hearty wasp]

ye

[solid hawk]

It's because all mods are LOCAL, only making changes to your game files, which for the most part aren't synced.

NMS is completely non-competitive. Mods just affect you.

That you, and only you, have more or less freighter battles doesn't affect other players, positively or negatively. So, it doesn't matter. 🙂

That you have a ship with a non-vanilla color doesn't matter. Only you and others using the same mod would be able to see it.

[dusk saffron]

and there would most likely not be a modding channel in the main NMS discord if everyone on here was banned

Anyone got starship AI valves or anything i can sell for a ton of credits please

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2284?tab=description here's the mod page

[livid owl]

nvm fixed it with this, ty for sharing

[fresh arch]

PAK files are obsolete, the modding system changed and now it's based on loading loose files

Only pick mods that were updated recently or newly released ones, don't go past January 2025

[hearty wasp]

If that's the case you should either update your vortex or, if it's already up to date, reported to Nexus Mods instead so they can fix vortex

[livid owl]

nah it's working now, i just had outdated info

well, i dont really know, i'm not a dev to know 100%/be 100% sure so i'd reserve myself that much, but afaik there's been no reported issues on using such a mod (which basically changes a property value in one of the files). check this post <#nms-modding message>

[vast thicket]

is there a mod to increase rotation/scroll speed when building? my scroll speed is fine in other apps, but in nms its horrible, it takes like 10 whole scrolls just to rotate 180 degrees. not sure if it makes a difference but I mainly build freighters.

[ornate lodge]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1348 --- will using this mod break my save?

i always have trouble finding blue/green stars so this will be handy for me

[bold ruin]

Is there any way I can get a modded save on my console?

I have seen ppl do it via save wizard

[hearty wasp]

no

basically nothing can

at least not to the level where you wouldn't be able to load the save

[steel crypt]

Not just when building, but there is mouse sensitivity setting in menu

[hearty wasp]

1. what do you want your modded save to contain?
2. if you have the game on PC you can sync your edited PC cloud save to your console

oh just realised you already asked in the modding discord

answer's the same from over there

is save wizard available for the PS5 now?

[bold ruin]

Yeah I don’t have it on my pc I have it on PlayStation but I’ve seen ppl do it with save wizard

[hearty wasp]

save wizard has been for PS4 only at least in the past

[bold ruin]

Just wanted it to contain all the items and modded weapons ships etc stuff like that

[vast thicket]

where exactly? i don't see anything for scroll speed or preview rotation anywhere.

[bold ruin]

Ahhh okay

If I made an account fresh and sent it to you would you be able to mod it or it doesn’t work like that?just an example

[hearty wasp]

what do you mean by "modded weapons"

[bold ruin]

Like just s class

And modded ships

[hearty wasp]

ok if it's just stats within vanilla maximum then it should be fine to have

[bold ruin]

Yes correct that’s what I’m asking

[hearty wasp]

you'd have to find someone willing to do it for you

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[hearty wasp]

try there

[bold ruin]

But it has everything unlocked all ships freighters modules nanites units staffs but all the max what vanilla allows you to hold

And there’s a way to be able to have everything unlocked

[steel crypt]

Oh my bad, I didn’t understand. I’m just talking about general mouse movement, not scroll.

[fallow meadow]

Maybe mouse settings in Windows is a workaround for you? I would however report it to Hello Games as well. Mouse scroll in-game is indeed really slow, where in some cases you can use keys instead (WASD).

[final hazel]

Also, using W and S in the build piece selection menu is much faster than scrolling, even with an unlocked mouse wheel they're just the same

It seems like they just bound the W and S scrolling to the mouse wheel without any changes to it's distance or duration

[vale iron]

I can probably do that. What multiple of vanilla do you want?

Hmm, it's not where I thought, but I see something in cameras that might work

Ok, think I found the currently used settings. It looks like it does a speed-up effect where it starts really slow on rotation then speeds up. I can change the minimum rotation speed, what it does when you start rotating, the maximum speed after it starts accelerating, and the time to reach maximum speed. Current settings are 0.8, 3.5, 1.0s. Let me know what you want them to be.

[vast thicket]

Oh wow, thanks. How about .6, 7, and .5? I’m not sure if that’s any good, but id assume I could change it like any other mod.

Also I just want to point out, that’s such a weird way of handing rotation. It’d made sense if the keybind was binary, like q&e, but it just doesn’t seem like it’d work well with mousewheel.

Ahh, this game was console exclusive on release yes?

Only thing I can imagine.

[brazen stone]

Haven’t done modding, but if you’re playing with others would it interrupt it? Plan on downloading some if they’re cool

[opal parcel]

is there a mod that allowes me to sit in the freighter?

[solid hawk]

Don't recall seeing one

Probably fairly minor thing to do though. Would just need to look at how buildable chairs do this and port it over to set ones in the bridge scene.

[hearty wasp]

It would be a pretty short lua if it's made

[solid hawk]

Oh, I completely forgot. Take a look at Astro and Babs bridge. Can sit in the captains chair

[weary ruin]

strange, usually when a E is there you just press the E key and there you sit

[final hazel]

Spinning chairs universally do not have that option, instead interacting with them makes them spin

[hearty wasp]

only "new" chairs

most old chairs before sitting was implemented remained non sittable

[solid hawk]

....and funnily enough, you replace the ENTITY for spinning chairs with the one for sitting chairs, doesn't work.

hello so i have a question i was using the save editor on one of my other saves just to try out stuff and when i go to the synthesize vendor it says claim but it wont claim, i went offline like it said but still not letting me claim

[round sinew]

1. how did you unlock the rewards in the save editor?
2. a much easier way to get expedition/twitch rewards in the shop is to just use consumerism mod https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2062 (you could also add quicksilver to your save using save editor, or use this mod addon to make all consumerism items free https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3420)

[steady flame]

i use goatfungus save editor but i just went too the account section and checked off all the boxes and went to the offline game and went to the vendor

[round sinew]

i'd suggest reverting to the backup you have before making those changes (nmsse would have made one before writing the changes you asked it to save i.e. check boxes in the account tab), and see this post <#nms-modding message>.

basically, you want to double check if stuff is getting added to account raw json data

@steady flame i.e. checking if e.g. atlas scepter ID is in raw json editors: both in account raw json/unlockedseasonrewards and in save raw json/basecontext/playerstatedata/knownspecials - we should just need unlockedseasonrewards iirc.

[shadow kettle]

Trying to get this set is it dupeable?

[final hazel]

Do you mean the staff, head and jetpack?

Those are rewards from Expedition 12: Omega, which aren't obtainable anymore without save editing, modding or the service bot

The head and jetpack are unlockable customization options for your suit, which cannot be acquired more than once so they can't be "duped"

As for the staff, you could copy one from an expedition save that was began from an existing save, and send a copy of the Atlas Sceptre back to your main save, but there isn't really a point to that

If your question is "can someone give me these" the answer is no, unless they are the service bot

[tawdry lance]

hey does anyone know if there is an survival mod? imo this game misses a mode where you need to manage hunger and thirst and add other challenging survival aspects

[fresh arch]

No because mods can't add new gameplay mechanics or functionality to the game

We can only tweak existing elements

This is the staple of mods that increase the difficulty

my game stutters for 3-5 seconds when leaving or entering planets and space anamoly, any fix?

[solid hawk]

By chance are you running a version of the game prior to 5.58? Several stutters were resolved around that particular time frame. Not sure the relation to mods though, as you don't mention any.

[zenith token]

how do i check my version, i seem to have access to beacons so i assume my version is definitely after 5.5, as for mods, if it turns out im playing the latest version and still stuttering even with the recommended pc specs, i will need a mod like the ones prior to 5.5 that removed lag during leaving/entering planets by preloading the space anamoly beforehand

@last fjord basically, you first need to download a save editor like nmsse. check the pinned posts in this channel. specifically this one <#nms-modding message>

[last fjord]

ight downloading

[last fjord]

tysm just deleted all the beaconss i had from the json which helped a ton, those icons were so annoying

[round sinew]

ah ok, so you went to basebuildingobjects, and deleted the beacon objects from there, and problem is dealt with now?

[last fjord]

oh nah that didnt let me delete it properly, so first i just exported the save as a json file, went to vs code and deleted all the objects which had the objectid called ^BUILDBEACON and then imported back to the saveEditor and then saved the changes and FInally i can now get lost in the space lol

[round sinew]

ah okay, that's a little strange that you couldnt delete the object code via nmsse, but glad it turned out ok, even if you did go a bit nuclear

[last fjord]

lol, the problem was that I tried tryna delete the folder, but it wouldnt let me, but it did let me delete the json inside it but the folder didnt get deleted so i thought that wasnt enough and i just did that

[steel crypt]

For planets, that's going to be an issue with your PC most likely. Number of possibilities there.

For Nexus/anomaly, as a test, you can go offline in NMS options and wait a few seconds then try entering the Nexus and see if it improves/fixes. Depending on your network... connection... you might be getting lag from it trying to load player data. Then you would know that's an issue with your network and/or someone else's that's in the Anomaly.

[zenith token]

ok

yeah stutter is gone when im offline

for both planets and anamoly/nexus

[round sinew]

ok just make sure that you can still build save beacon at least 🙂

[last fjord]

ye i did, it did work tysm for ur help

[steel crypt]

Okay if the issue happens every time then it’s something with your network. If happens some of the time, either yours some of the time (less likely) or another players network and yours are not liking each other.

Anomaly stutter happens to me every time I go in one, but I have suck internet. Expected for me.

[zenith token]

Some of the time but could also be my network, i live in SEA

[zenith token]

it just lasts 3-5 seconds for me during the landing animation but annoys me lmao

[steel crypt]

Oh mines worse. It can last maybe 45 seconds. But I have 600kb internet. (You read that right. Not a typing error)

[zenith token]

it doesnt take that long for your spaceship to land, do you stutter while even walking around

[round sinew]

@zenith token does your cpu have e and p cores?

[steel crypt]

For about 30-45 seconds yep.

[hardy aurora]

@zenith token

No gifs in this channel please

[zenith token]

and what happens when you enter the anamoly offline

[steel crypt]

@round sinew FYI if this is relevant, issue fixed by going offline.

[steel crypt]

Smooth as butter.

[zenith token]

did you try playing online but disabling other players on the network setting

[steel crypt]

Always smooth on planet, but I tend to not go to planets people have stuff on.

[zenith token]

to confirm if its really you or someone else

[zenith token]

its weird, planets and anamoly behaving the same for me when i go online

[steel crypt]

The local instances such as local player group and anomaly group are peer to peer as far as I know. So there isn’t a connection to a “server” like that.

[round sinew]

fwiw, entering anomaly for me with mp enabled gives me a <1s freeze, on a fiber 1Gb connection, ryzen 7700x, 32GB DDR5. really strange that in a system with no other players, having mp enabled causes a freeze for Fardin when leaving planet

[zenith token]

yeah, but i heard that before the 5.5 update, the game would always try to load the space anamoly when entering planets evenif you didnt summon it

[round sinew]

but that was either vastly mitigated or eliminated for most players, but i have seen at least 1 other player with the same problem still

i'm still thinking that cpu in use is 1) intel and 2) has efficiency and performance cores

[zenith token]

"of course i know him, he is me"

[steel crypt]

Maybe networked objects like bases etc.? Now those have to come from HG sever. I think. Can’t you see them when the builder is offline?

[round sinew]

but if that was the case, then testing in a system with no other bases or players would have to be silk smooth

mp on even

mp on or off doesn't matter for downloading (uploaded) discoveries/bases etc

[steel crypt]

Right

[zenith token]

are you asking for my cpu? yes it is intel

[round sinew]

which one?

[zenith token]

i5 10 gen

[round sinew]

sorry, "10gen" could be a myriad of cpus, can you just look at task manager/performance tab and say which model of cpu you actually have?

[zenith token]

[round sinew]

thank you

[round sinew]

this one does not have e/p cores. and what gpu do you have?

[round sinew]

yeah, the other user i was trying to help with this was also on amd (but so am i, on a 6900xt - they were on a 9070xt - but i'm running Linux, so there could be something windows related still, i dont get any freezing leaving planets)

[zenith token]

do you think it could be because my cpu is intel but my gpu is amd, do they conflict

[round sinew]

nah nah, dont think so. we should move to the #964865106334875698 thread

[zenith token]

yeah they asked me to msg HG and i have, now i wait

in the meantime, i might just play offline a bit since im a solo player

yeah, really seems like a weird design choice regarding the freighters. Why not add the teleporter on both sides? Or at the end of the landing pads, and just leave those pilars empty?

[solid hawk]

You'd have to ask HelloGames, nobody here would know.

[compact stratus]

It was a rhetorical question...

[solid hawk]

It was a rhetorical answer, lol

[dusk saffron]

I can't remember anyone that had been playing NMS for a bit of time not being so happy to have a teleporter that anyone was pissy that there weren't 2 of them. LOL

[compact stratus]

I was not being pissy, wtf

[compact stratus]

I made a random comment on the game and then i get retorted with "ask the devs" and "ur being pissy". I was just trying to participate in the conversation

There was no need react like this to what i said, but whatever makes you guys feel better i guess

[fresh arch]

Babscooles comment wasn't a retort to you

Game is full of weird design decisions or missed opportunities

And we as modders often come across them and underlying technical bits, both of them making us pull out our hair

As we don't have any insight into the development process of the game, ultimately the answer to many questions of "why there's X but no Y?" becomes just "because HG"

[compact stratus]

if that's the case, then i apologise to everyone

completely missread the room i guess

[fresh arch]

There's nothing wrong with acknowledging the flaws of the game or suggesting new stuff for it

It's just that asking questions why things are they way there are isn't gonna get any decent answer

[vale iron]

Wasn't there a comment in the GoG debug release that said something like "we don't know what this does, but if you disable it the game crashes"

[solid hawk]

Often times in here, it's more of a support type situation in this channel. Questions are asked and answers given, so we tend to keep it pointed and factual.

[vale iron]

And we're all smartasses

[solid hawk]

Very true

Other channels, such as #no-mans-sky or #nms-the-future , as examples, are more conversational in nature.

But, my reply to you wasn't being a smartass, it was providing the factual answer to your rhetorical question. We don't have any insight into HG design decisions. None at all. Any given would be pure supposition. Everyone gets the exact same communications from HG, sharing information. Sean tweets and patch release notes.

[frigid grove]

@calm flame Feel free to ask here so others can find the info later

[calm flame]

sounds good! i'm curious about a few things based off of your expedition replayer

First of all, how does this interface with the main save file? Does it also set the quicksilver guy's trades?

Secondly, I heard people mention something about dying in expedition 7 causing isues.

Third, I'm just generally curious whether there are possibilties for my main save to get wrecked/corrupted

I'm also curious if there's a recommended play order for the expeditions. I'm not a big lore guy but it would be nice if such a thing existed.

ty in advance

[frigid grove]

1. Same as regular expeditions. It unlocks expedition rewards that are accessible from any save on your account.

2. Should be fine now, but in the past that mechanic has been wonky (I assume HG breaks/fixes it once in a while)

3. When playing No Man's Sky, there is always a risk of save file corruption. Hard to pin anything down, and most of the things you find online are generally just superstitions and myths that have developed over time. Not a bad idea to just make regular backups in case you hit one of the weird edge cases.

[frigid grove]

There's really no continuity between expeditions, so you can either go in order or prioritize by how interesting they sound/their rewards.

Like most of the game, the lore really doesn't add up to much of anything. Just there for color.

[calm flame]

oh lol interesting

Are there other tools for nms? Ik theres some bot website but like are there others?

rn the two utilities ik are yours and a bot for getting stuff

[frigid grove]

Well there's mods, obviously, but I don't use them. I guess I don't really use any tools but my own, heh. Oh, there are save editors. I use those from time to time.

[calm flame]

oh interesting. are there any save editors you could point me to?

[frigid grove]

Only one I've used so far: https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor

[calm flame]

ty

[solid hawk]

The other big one is NomNom. Neither is best. 95% of what they do is basiclaly the same for both. For the other 5%, one will have a few features that the other doesn't and vice versa.

They are both free and can switch from using one to the other, just not both at the exact same time.

Sometimes which you use can be dictated by which updates for a new NMS update sooner.

Is there a way to unlock my survival locked save ?

[hearty wasp]

people in the reshade forums do, not here

You can use a Save Editor to change a value from true to false using the raw JSON editor. See pins (#nms-modding message) for NMSSE or NomNom. Make sure to create a backup of your saves first, just in case (use !Faq-Savefiles in #bot-spam )

Thank you

whats some of the top most used graphics mods out there these days?

[final hazel]

There aren't really any, besides https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1316 and https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3385 and all the wacky reshade presets

[hearty wasp]

an nvidia RTX 5080, I presume

What is your definition of graphics mod? Can't answer without knowing.

Example, many mods which increase the color palettes available for various things. I'd consider that a graphics mod, being strictly visual changes, but your definition may be different.

[proven arch]

idk. just good graphics updates. I have a 4070 so i figured i could run better then stock graphics 🙂

[final hazel]

The closest thing to that would be the two mods I linked which increase render distance of certain elements, there aren't any graphics overhaul mods like other games have, mostly due to the vanilla graphics options being more than enough and constantly updated

and just due to how modding works in NMS, it's extremely difficult to replace things and nearly impossible to add new things

[solid hawk]

Another point is that traditionally, mods break with NMS updates, A good example is a person uploaded a mod with many dozens of fixed TEXTURES. Within a few months, game updates had completely broken the mod, due to NMS updates changing some of the compression methods used for the TEXTURES. Guy probably spent a few dozen hours making the mod originally and couldn't bear to redo all the DDS from scratch.

Just hasn't been worth it for mod authors to waste their time like that redoing the same thing over and over.

I need this

[obsidian tree]

Well luckily for you, directly above that video is a link to download it 😄

[worldly lagoon]

Will it break my game or save in any capacity? I imagine I’d have to turn it off for multiplayer

[obsidian tree]

it's recommended to back up your save, but also I'd say start in a space station since they aren't moved

for multiplayer it will just be weird, because if you are on a planet with this mod on, someone else will not see the planet in the same system in the same place, so it won't "break" anything, it will just look very weird since the two games won't be sync'd up

it's sadly not possible to make this mod work for multiplayer

Have a tissue. We should all be so sympathetic to your plight.

[median oasis]

hi! had a question regarding playing nms on waaaaay older editions on pc. anyone got a starting point of where I should look to install it?

[hearty wasp]

you should be able to access old versions by downloading thru the steam console

there's a discord for playing on old versions but I dunno if it's still active

#nms-modding message

[hasty turtle]

Are the mods required to be .pak files? I’m not really sure what happened last night but all my mods stopped working out of no where and when i looked online it said they all needed to be .pak. When i looked in the files of the mods i was using none of them had pak files in them. Chat GPT said i need to convert the files to a pak using some tool which I dont have time to do. I only have 2 hours a day to play this game before i need to sleep.

[vale iron]

They're required to NOT be PAK files. Since end of January this year, PAK files don't work

Don't trust ChatGPT. It does not know enough and is so far out of date that it can't help for most things. Misdirects more than it helps

You want either EXML or MBIN files, preferably EXML

[hasty turtle]

okay thank god. If i need more help i’ll post lol

[vale iron]

Check the pins for the Modding after 5.50 document

[hearty wasp]

never ask chatgpt about the game again because it doesn't know shit

[hasty turtle]

iv noticed lol. I tried to use it to give me portal coordinates so i could start a new save using NomNom and put me on a paradise planet and it was way off 💀

[solid hawk]

For most things, ChatGPT is utterly and completely WORTHLESS, because if it doesn't know something, it'll make something up.

[vale iron]

I wouldn't say for "most" things, but you need to know what it's good for and what it's not. Like a hammer, not really good for a lot of situations, but very good for some.

[solid hawk]

For most things. What specific scenarios, other than fiction, do you recommend that it would be desirable to receive false information when expecting true?

[compact stratus]

It can trace a path for you to research better. If you're going blind into a subject, it's good enough to give you some basic points that you can then follow, and understand for yourself if they are true or not. Way better than going blindly into Google and trying to find information without having that basic list of topics

Many times I've used it on my job, not to write code for me, but to point me in the right direction, to understand where to look for things

Otherwise, i'm not trusting what it says, or, like you said, i'm not expecting it to tell me the truth, only pointers so i can go check the truth myself

[solid hawk]

With NMS, at least, even the pointers are wrong. Will send you looking in non-existent files for non-existent properties. Until the AI powers that be decide to program in one simple phrase, "I don't know", has no use or value in my world. 🙂

Which they won't do, as it admits failure. That their baby is wrong much more than it is right.

I just used a generative AI engine to tell me about a particular historical event, that I was involved in. Got dates, times, specific events, and people involved wrong, at points. Quickly became pure fiction.

The promise and reality are too far apart with AI.

[hearty wasp]

I'm p sure you were present during the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand

are you sure you did not inadvertently cause the Great War

[cobalt condor]

Getting AI to give advice for NMS modding is made way worse than other topics because there is very little useful information outside this discord server, which isn't something AI can access when searching the internet

[solid hawk]

I left it entirely to Gavrilo Princip

Can't search anything requiring login. Don't know if this is still the case, but generative AI used to also be limited to data more than two years old.

[tall aurora]

Heya! Anyone wanna help me get a pet sentinel walker?

Id prefer not to mod, so id someone could give me an egg I'd greatly appreciate it

[hasty turtle]

is there a mod for any large scale space battles?

[solid hawk]

If only NexusMods had a search function...

yo @frigid grove sry to bother u again but im curious if you can swap the expedition JSON files literally whenever you want

can you swap em while you're in an expedition or will that corrupt things
does swapping the json file AFTER completing the expedition lock/break anything?
will rewards stay claimable in the expedition terminal after the json file is swapped/deleted?

ty

[tall aurora]

Anyone here good at using save editor and willing to help me get a pet sentinel mech? Like the sentinel minotaur but as a pet

[frigid grove]

Literally whenever, no 😅

But if you want to go online and load any saves that are not on expeditions, that will work fine. You just have to re-download the .JSON and restart your game in offline mode before you load your expedition save(s) again.

If you load an expedition save with the wrong expedition .JSON or while online, it will just end the expedition. I think if you force quit nms as soon as you see the expedition ended message you can go offline/grab the correct .JSON file again and continue the expedition, but I'm not 100% sure (I feel like I've done that before but people tell me it doesn't work so 🤷‍♂️).

I'm also not 100% sure if swapping them while an expedition save is running will do anything. I think that file is only read when the game starts up. However, if you go online while an expedition save is running, it will also end the expedition.

In all cases, you will still need to go to the expedition terminal to fully end the expedition and claim the rewards you had earned up until that point if you still needed to collect any (same as if a live expedition ended while you were on it).

[calm flame]

can i swap .json files without going back into online mode after finishing a previous expedition?

[frigid grove]

Yes but you'll need to restart your game as I believe during startup is the only time it's read by the game. That said, feel free to test swapping it while the game is running - I don't think it will work, but I can't imagine it'd break anything.

[calm flame]

oh i see. thanks again!

seems like the most stable unstable game ever ngl

[frigid grove]

What's funny is my save file has never done anything wonky, and I have done some really crazy testing with expeditions. Well, I say never, but it did break once when HG broke Expedition 7: Leviathan, but in that case everyone who loaded that expedition had the issue. Had to save edit and move yourself off the expedition to fix the file. But apart from that I've never had the save file issues other folks have had.

I just kind of have to accept that save files can go sideways, not ever being 100% sure what events led up to the issue. And it's never reproducible on my end (save for the Leviathan one).
