nms-modding

[fresh arch]

Game doesn't crash because there is a conflict

Game does crash when player is trying to use outdated mods

When an MBIN replacement mod is missing info from updated version, the game goes 404 panic mode and crashes

[remote creek]

Yeah starting a different one fixed it for me, thank you

[versed plume]

Really that's amazing i thought the mod is abdnonded cause there was no udpates

😀😀😀

[proud wing]

would it be possible to make a mod so that we can use the prefab rooms that we use when making a base in the freighter to use in our corvettes? It would make organizing easier.

[fresh arch]

See this post #nms-modding message

[proud wing]

You think it would come eventually to consoles?

[fresh arch]

Nope

[proud wing]

Dam it would be so much easier maybe the devs will do something for console. Who knows thanks for the like tho !

[zinc bough]

I can't remember cause it's been well over a year since I last played nms. what was the purpose of using AMUMMS to combine mods?

[solid hawk]

To resolve conflicts

[zinc bough]

ohhhhh yeah.

[trim bough]

is amumss updated for voyager update?

[fresh arch]

Amumss doesn't need to be updated

MBIN Compiler does and it was updated

[trim bough]

gotcha

[green saffron]

so im getting mod issues, seems like my game doesnt want to load my mods

just wondering if I've fucked up somwhere

[trim bough]

@fresh arch its been a while, but where do you put the lua script in amumss directory

[green saffron]

belay this i found the problem

[solid hawk]

What was it? A user in another Discord having the same issue and popup.

[green saffron]

make sure this is set to FALSE

"No Mans Sky\No Man's Sky\Binaries\SETTINGS\GCMODSETTINGS.MXML"

[solid hawk]

Yep, that'll do it

We usually just recommend deleting the file, it's recreated when the game starts again

Had him try that, but didn't fix it.

[green saffron]

can I see what the error says?

[trim bough]

nvm i didnt put mods in right directory. been so long since i last played in feburary

[solid hawk]

He was over in the modding channel on the C & S Discord last night, he posted the error there.

[zinc bough]

in AMUMSS, is it supposed to show all modscripts that are in the folder in the main UI? mine only shows ModScript

[solid hawk]

Sorry, confused by the question. What are you wanting to show where?

[zinc bough]

ok so you know in the main UI where it shows or is supposed to show all modscripts so you can I guess select them to combine?

it only shows ModScripts in there with a check box

[solid hawk]

There's no selection in BUILDMOD, it just runs whatever is in ModScript

Or are you talking about Modscript Manager?

[zinc bough]

I think it may be that.

[solid hawk]

Which is NOT the main thing for AMUMSS

[compact stratus]

A print would help. But double click on the "modscript" line, it will show a list with the LUAs inside the folder

[zinc bough]

sec

[frozen nexus]

are we allowed to ask for twitch drop strings so i can added them to my json in here?

[solid hawk]

Exactly

[compact stratus]

double clik, or right click, not 100%sure right now

[solid hawk]

double click

[zinc bough]

yeah. it was double click.

[solid hawk]

But, with AMM, cannot select or deselect individual scripts. Only by folder

[zinc bough]

it's been a long time since i've merged anything with it so my brain isn't all there for it atm lol

[solid hawk]

Here's a portion of mine

[zinc bough]

like, well over a year. are there only check boxes if you are combining a lua script with a mod folder? or am i thinking way wrong

[solid hawk]

For simple usage, without scripts in folders within the ModScript Folder, AMM is overkill. Better to just go straight to BUILDMOD.bat

[hearty wasp]

Overwhelming majority of mods don't need merging anymore

[zinc bough]

guess that's a major thing that changed in the last year

[hearty wasp]

Ye

[zinc bough]

main thing I guess I have to worry about is Eucli-ea if I want to use other building mods

having to use RecTUM for that

[hearty wasp]

RecTUM is required even if you don't use any base building mod other than Eucli-ea

[zinc bough]

argh lol.

[zinc bough]

easy way to do that then? drop both LUA in modscripts and run build in amm?

[hearty wasp]

What both

You can just install Eucli-ea as a mod

[zinc bough]

rectum and euci-ea

[hearty wasp]

You only need the Eucli-ea lua if you want the customisation options

[zinc bough]

oh. i'm misunderstanding then.

[hearty wasp]

Otherwise only rectum needs to be run through AMUMSS

[zinc bough]

gotcha. no combining. just install eucli-ea and run the Rectum lua through modbuilder

[hearty wasp]

Yes

[solar vapor]

I'm returning after many years, tried updating my mods first, then tried completely disabling them, and I have no idea what's going on anymore. Does nothing.

I don't think any of the mods actually do anything whatsoever.
Example mods are,

• Remove Intro Logos 5.75
• Fast Actions 7.0
• HD Clouds 4k 2.1
  These ones ARE supposed to work right now, right?

Is it normal that my freighter from 2022 is now just pitch black inside? Am I missing a light switch? Why does my ship land midair in the hangar?

[compact stratus]

Since January, the mod system changed. Are you aware of that?

[solar vapor]

I'm aware of literally nothing

Except that I'm pretty sure some of the mods I updated said they worked with the current version and they just didn't

[compact stratus]

#nms-modding message

You're probably installing things in the wrong folder

[solar vapor]

Ah

Okay my Vortex is still an old version so that's that probably, and explains why manually didn't work either

[compact stratus]

Yeah, no vortex

[solar vapor]

But what about the Freighter lights?

[compact stratus]

Most people do not recommend it

[green saffron]

oh yea gonna ask for any modders out there, is there a way to edit the textures on posters

[compact stratus]

Modding in NMS is basically placing a folder into another folder, most mod creators do not recommend using Vortex. It's not made to work 100% with every mod system out there, so it might create issues that simply do not exist if you just mod "manually"

[green saffron]

like if I was to replace the texture of one with another is that possible?

[compact stratus]

Try to install mods the better/proper way, and then check if everything indeed works.

Also, any mod that has not been updated since 29 january, probably wont work. After that, it depends, since the Voyagers update broke a lot of things

[solar vapor]

I'm the one who usually mods even Skyrim, Fallout and Stalker Anomaly with 300+ Mods manually when others use Managers, but for NMS I used Vortex, because it was that easy and I didn't use any complicated mods, because the game gets updates regularly and I want to update my 20 mods easily

Mods.

I'll go through the list again I guess.

But still, freighter, is is supposed to be this dark in there?

[ebon gale]

Got a question when encountering a trade fleet you often see destroyable cargo pods with loot how hard would it be to make a mod that adds some interaction mechanism that allows you to trade for or purchase the contents of those pods instead of being a filthy pirate?

[polar epoch]

So I've added only a few mods to my game, and now my build menu is all out of sorts. I don't have any of the researched build pieces that you get from the construction terminal. Here's a ss of my mods and my in game:

[compact stratus]

Like i said. Try to install mods properly without Vortex, that's probably what most people here will tell you to do. It does some weird stuff with how it unzips things, and from what i understand, it requires some changes to work properly.

Since you are such an experienced modder, you will know how to move 20 folders around manually. I'm sure this troubleshooting step will cause you no harm.

• Check if the mods are updated to the current system (after 29 january) and to the current update (voyagers 6.0)
• Check if the mods are installed in "GAMEDATA/MODS", and in the proper folder level (do not move the folder with a ton of numbers, move the folder inside that, which contains the mod name in a more presentable way)
• Delete the file "...\Binaries\SETTINGS\GCMODSETTINGS.MXML" before starting the game, it will be regenerated again

[steel crypt]

Probably impossible. If not, then level 10.

[compact stratus]

No, the mechanics of the game can't be modded like that

[steel crypt]

It might be possible to add an interaction component to the entity. If so, still not easy to mod.

[solar vapor]

GCMODSETTINGS deleted.

Moved mods folder. Many mods now work. Will go through to check which don't.

Freighter interior still super dark.

[compact stratus]

Have you tried to launch the game without mods, and checked the freighter?

[polar epoch]

Also have BuildFrame_RecTUM in that list, it just didn't actually show when I captured the screenshot

[solar vapor]

Well since I launched without mods until just now because it was all in PCBANKS still, yes.

[polar epoch]

this is what it looks like in game with buildframe_Rectum installed

[oblique sequoia]

Currently dealing with a erroneous popup regarding mods. Has anyone else experienced this?
Mods are confirmed installed properly, are working properly, and are compatible with the current version, but the popup keeps the game in the background so it won't accept input. Clicking either yes or no shuts down the game (not a crash)

[final hazel]

That error just appears when the game crashes for any reason with mods installed and enabled

One of the mods (or multiple) are causing a crash upon loading in most likely

[oblique sequoia]

that's what's crazy, the game isn't crashing. I can spam click to maintain focus on the game and play it

[final hazel]

Oh, that is extremely strange then

[zinc bough]

in theory, if I run ReCTUM through modbuilder and share that mod with my friends then they shouldn't have to do it as well right?

[hearty wasp]

Yeah

[zinc bough]

k so Ruyuna is one of the friends that is using my build that I did and all our mods match so it shouldn't be a mod problem from anything else. but she gets this happening

[hearty wasp]

Yeah game bug

I know someone encountering this as well

[polar epoch]

Found any fix yet? I can't even see building stuff I've unlocked in game such as Timber now

[zinc bough]

one other person that is using the same thing as Ruyuna is having the same issue

[hearty wasp]

I mean from the pics above it just looks they they don't have perms to edit the base

That's the menu you get when you're not at your base

[polar epoch]

goes to her own base to test

[zinc bough]

we don't all three create bases so I had no idea and neither did she

[halcyon rose]

Any mod to unlock all cosmetics and decoration items?

[polar epoch]

Thank you so dang much. I was removing, re-adding, trying to fix things and that got it.

[hearty wasp]

cool

the lorem ipsum stuff is just a side effect of expanding the UI

it doesn't do anything

[polar epoch]

Now it's just not quite sorting things out using rectum, but I think all the items are there

[steel crypt]

Maybe not a full CTD, but still crash.
Remove mods, delete GCMODSETTINGS.MXML.
See if game crashes then.
Very good chance you have an outdated/poorly made mod.

[compact stratus]

Check graphical settings, GTAO messes a lot with that. I can't take proper screenshots with GTAO turned off (regarding shadows and dark places)

Otherwise, can't see what could be the issue

[steel crypt]

The dark freighter makes me think either maybe GPU driver update needed, or freighter used old code/parts and needs to be updated.

[oblique sequoia]

I've gone through all of that already. It's only with a specific mod pack (Lasagna 3). I've also followed all of the troubleshooting that the mod page suggests. Other mods I have installed work, and the mod pack seems to be working for other people properly.
Have already filled out on bug report on the nexus page and the author is stumped. Figured I'd try my luck here.

[steel crypt]

What happens if you use only Lasagna without other mods?

[oblique sequoia]

same. I've wittled it down to these mod folders giving the issue. the rest of the mod works fine

[steel crypt]

You might try removing all mods, going into game, save at space station, exit game, and try with those mods again.
Other than that, dunno.

[oblique sequoia]

yup done that too. Will remain a mystery for now lol

[steel crypt]

It might not be happening for other people, but with that type mod, there are a lot of game conditions for context. You might be trying to load some bad/unworking part of the mod, whereas other people aren't because they are not in that context in-game.
🤷‍♂️

[oblique sequoia]

yeah, that was a thought I had, tried starting up multiple new files to test the odds and no luck

[solid hawk]

For vast majority we can't fix game bugs. Cannot see or change source code. For the few we can do, just NOT worth the trouble. Spend an hour making a mod to fix a bug and HG fixes the next day.

[polar epoch]

All good, and completely understandable. Just wasn't sure if it was a mod causing it and someone else had the issue or not. It appears it's mostly the issue with being locked to be able to build at a certain location that isn't my base, just my friends. 🙂 No worries at all, ty for the mods you do though, I have gotten several.

[solid hawk]

Cool. Enjoy. 🙂

[ebon gale]

does anyone know of a currently working mod that adds noclip or removed the collision for the build cam I have a nasty bug in an old save where some massive invisible object is in my freighter base adding wierd collision blocking access to half of it and I want something that lets me noclip through it so I can disassemble the effected area without having to resort to a full freighter reset and lose all the materials

[fallow meadow]

You could use the Base Builder App (or Blender plugin if you prefer). Used in combination with a Save Editor.

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2598

The collision is a common issue though, so I do suspect it will likely get fixed eventually

[ebon gale]

given how old the save file and how long its been since I played might be related to the changes to grid size for freighter bases

[fallow meadow]

Could make a backup of the Freighter base data to be able to revert it again at a later time

[fallow meadow]

How old is the save?

[ebon gale]

i dont exactly remember

give me a sec

where are they located?

[fallow meadow]

The bug with huge collision is not related to save age by the way, considering the reports I have seen

[fallow meadow]

If you really wish, I can help you out, as I regularly use Blender with the plugin to create bases.

[tiny lion]

Hey, so I have a question. Someone I know has the ability to get the voyagers expedition rewards through a save editor. I’m wondering what save editor that would be. I’m not looking to do it myself, but I’m just curious

[ebon gale]

the save file says 2022 for date created but that was around the time I migrated to my new computer so I suspect the actual creation date and metadata got lost when copying the files so sadly I dont have an exact creation date but it was alot older

at least 2018

[fallow meadow]

Normally either NomNom or NMSSE would allow you to do so. See pins for links if you decide to use either #nms-modding message

@tiny lion Be aware though, it requires editing the Account data, not the Save. You can then visit the Anomaly after, to claim your rewards.

[tiny lion]

Ok. I wasn’t planning on using it. I was just curious

Thanks for the info

[fallow meadow]

Would you mind me trying to help you out with what you are trying to accomplish?

[ebon gale]

figure out what the large invisible object on my freighter base is thats blocking the back row of modules and delete it

[fallow meadow]

No clue, but it's huge and I gave up placing lights on the collision to get an idea. As you can see, it goes way up there

I think it belongs to actual freighterparts

So it is not something that can be removed by us, as it is not part of the freighter base data

[ebon gale]

did this start with voyager or was this collision issue introduced earlier

but at least thats confirmed its a nms issue and not one of my mods breaking collision

[fallow meadow]

It started with the Voyagers update

[fallow meadow]

Correct

[ebon gale]

hopefully it gets hotfixed most likely something they did to enable EVA

and didn't think about

[pulsar magnet]

I am not getting the mod warning screen. I've deleted the gcmodsettings.mxml file but they still aren't popping up

[ebon gale]

also noticed the ships in the fleet dont render interiors if you eva from the freighter to them

almost like eva was never intended XD

[fallow meadow]

There are other collision issues as well. The Corvette appears to have issues with collision as well at times. I also noticed a window section used for Cuboid Rooms to also have a collision rotated (not scaled)

[ebon gale]

okay so ignore it for now and hope it gets hotfixed in a few weeks

[hearty wasp]

post a screenshot of MODS folder like this

include all the details stated

[fallow meadow]

If it does not give you additional issues, I'd give it some time before taking more dramatic actions

[ebon gale]

did you delete disablemods.txt of thats still a thing

[fallow meadow]

Do report these issues though, it helps to make them aware of the severity

!hg

[ebon gale]

sighs and tells the captain to hold fire as the freighters turrets rotate away from the base.

[pulsar magnet]

Ah well this screenshot actually fixed my issue... one mod said to put the mods folder in the pcbanks folder
I moved it to the gamedata and now im getting the splash screen lol, thank you so much

[ebon gale]

how i imagine base reset works XD

[fallow meadow]

You could try, at the bridge console ;-)

(I'll wait, as I do not wish to lose my freighter base creation)

[ebon gale]

Yes the joke was when you press the reset button the ship just shoots the base off its back XD

why you dont get anything back from it

[fallow meadow]

@ebon gale Just in! (Steam Experimental)

Fixed an issue which resulted in invisible blocking physics in freighter bases.

[fallow meadow]

Not fixed for me, so I guess they refer to something else 😢
That said, I do think I may have found the top of the collision
(HANGARA_EXTERIOR collision is the cause, a game asset for the freighter)

[vale iron]

That doesn't matter anymore

[vale iron]

Looks like the bridge area for the other capital type.

[fallow meadow]

Yes, HANGARA_EXTERIOR, which is part of the bridge with the hangar. I guess the collision for it is not being unloaded when you enter the freighter base area, or actually load into the freighter base interior

[vale iron]

Oh, I see. I thought you were getting both collisions on the exterior. Yeah, without killing the collision on the outside, too, can't fix it on our end

[wary helm]

does anyone know how to move corvette files from one save to another? GoatFungus doesnt let you

[round sinew]

i think that you'd need to export first, then goto other save and import

[wary helm]

i misspoke, it DOES let you, but it doesnt work

if you try to do it and then load in the save, it doesnt appear in your ships

and this isnt user error because some developers of the save editor addressed this

[round sinew]

ok, sorry, then it seems that you'd have to do it via rawjson

[wary helm]

ill try and do that but i have to reload a backup save

there done

[solemn anvil]

@frigid grove congrats on the shoutout for your expedition project at 17:01
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfGTRGCCPR8&t=1020s&ab_channel=SomeOrdinaryGamers

[wary helm]

which folder would ShipOwnership be in

[round sinew]

it would be basecontext>playerstatedata

[wary helm]

thanks

[frigid grove]

Oh neat, thanks for pointing that out!

[wary helm]

so would i just copy and paste the data for the ship i want to own from file A into file B?

[round sinew]

yeah, i'd basically make sure i have my backups of both saves, then copy ship code into new save appropriate section at the end - for example, in my image, i'd scroll down on the right to the end, and paste the code for the new ship, then click for example on skiffdata, and say yes to nmsse when it asks to save changes.

[fallow meadow]

@wary helm There is more to it, a Corvette also has 'PersistentPlayerStatedata' like a regular base. That need to be copied over too. You also have to make sure that the 'index' location you use in ShipOwnership, matches the UserData value that comes with the PersistentPlayerStateData for it

[wary helm]

thanks

[fallow meadow]

I hope it makes sense to you, but feel free to ask further detailed questions

[vale iron]

Sounds like they work kind of like eggs. I haven't looked into the data though

[wary helm]

i dont know much about stuff like this, so im a little confused what you mean by index

where do i find that and how do i know if it matches the user data value

[ebon gale]

Anyone know of a good mod that fixes or improves the pulse scan on ships so they show poi's more reliably seems like for a while it simply is not picking up things things that can be obviously seen visually

found a bunch of defunct ones but nothing current

[fallow meadow]

A bit of a guide for json editing a copy of a corvette ship into a save.

• 1st image, you have to find the actual part data that is used for the Corvette, just like it does player bases. In my case that is [1] in PersistentPlayerBases
  You can tell if it is a Corvette, by looking for the 'BaseType' within, it should say "PersistentBaseTypes":"PlayerShipBase".
  Towards the top you also see 'UserData' with a value (in my case 3), which is the index used in the list of 'ShipOwnership'.
• 2nd image, you see the ShipOwnership section you need, matching the 3 value (index).
  Note: This list is always 0 - 11, there can not be more or less (12 total).

Now do make sure you copy over those sections correctly and edit values as required. Mind JSON formatting to be correct as well.

Note: Creating an extra index section in PersistentPlayerbases is simple, if you understand how JSON works. Easiest would be to select the full PersistentPlayerBases on the left, then on the right you scroll the whole way down. Then just before the last closing 'square bracket' ], you add a comma after the 'curly bracket' }, hit <enter> and on the next line add a <tab> followed by opening and closing 'curly bracket' {} see image 3. When that is saved, it should show a new index ([3] in my case), but completely empty for use, see image 4

@wary helm See above for some additional info

[fallow meadow]

Have you seen this one? https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1259

@ebon gale Do keep in mind, it just picks something, which may not always be the nearest. To find POIs more reliably, use charts and spam the type of POI you are looking for until it marks the one you're after. These will be found all over the place though.

[arctic kestrel]

is there a way u can complete all missions using a save editor

why is there an 'is cool' trigger and why is it FALSE FOR MY SHIP

[wicked wraith]

Does anyone know of a mod that I can either edit or purchase nanites ? I've softlocked myself and want to get out of it lol

[glossy stag]

You can use a save editor to edit nanites.

[wicked wraith]

That's great thank you, which would you recommend? I'm seeing loads

[glossy stag]

NomNom

[solid hawk]

Ask HelloGames. Nobody else would know.

Change it to true and see what breaks

[wicked wraith]

That’s great thank you

[glass gate]

ive managed to make some of the freighter and planetary parts accesible in the corvette structural editing, but none of them seem to be placeable because of the required snapping of the pieces.

as for the actual decorational editor, nothing seems to have changed despite the BuildableInShipDecorational property being changed.

[silent isle]

Can you somehow easillyyyy increase the complexity limit in corvettes?

Easily since i suck at this kinda stuff

[glass gate]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3701

[glass gate]

just realised BBB updated and it does this already

[frail escarp]

If I were to use a save editor to change the color of my interceptor to orange, how would I go about it? Also, would this change appear to others?

[vale iron]

They've had it forever. There's an iscool price multiplier in the game files, so they probably planned to have certain ships be more expensive just for being popular, but they've never used it

[cobalt condor]

You can't because the colour isn't stored separately from the rest of the ship's appearance in the save

[ebon gale]

Is there a way to make a mod that links outpost upgrade terminals to the freighter matter beam so you can upgrade buildings by just having the freighter in the system instead of having the upgrade materials in your inventory

[fresh arch]

Most likely can't be done

Mods can't add new functionality, only tweak existing bits

[opaque beacon]

hmm

how do i access this expedition again

i got downloaded the seasons json file for this and launched it offline

but im guessing the reason why i cant access it again is because i partially did it before?

maybe i just need to load up a different expedition and try again

[frigid grove]

Right yeah, if you want to play an expedition twice in a row you need to first start another expedition. The game only keeps track of the last one you were on. After you start another one you can make sure it saves then quit out and start the one you want to play again.

[zenith karma]

see if i could make it so i can do past expeditions. I dis part of an expedition but couldnt finish it. so i only have part of the outfit.

What happens if you place a landing pad on your corvette and try to land another one of your ships on it?

[cobalt condor]

You can use it but the ship won't follow the corvette when it starts moving. It will just stay wherever the landing pad was when you landed on it

If you try to land on a moving landing pad, your ship will get stuck in the landing process because it won't be able to catch up with the pad.

[peak pelican]

anyway to edit PS saves on PC?

[vale iron]

Not that I know of, other than owning it on PC and doing cross save

[opal chasm]

are the any mods to make the pirate dreadnaught spawn its been 8 days

and ive given up

[storm yacht]

I actually tried this yesterday, I used cross save cause I own both games on PS5 and PC, I edited the PC save and uploaded it to my cross save and it said it was incompatible on my PS5 🙁

All I did was enable all my glyphs too 😂 that’s all I did

[vale iron]

That's because of version mismatch

When they are both on the same version, try again

Yep, should work now

[median kettle]

Hello again @fallow meadow and all other ones here! 👋 I want to revisit this old request of mine and see if anyone here has a few moments to spare for me.

I really would like to undo the lock on my game settings by editing it, as I lost a lot of corvette parts due to the initially poorly conceived update 6.0 and now want to build a new corvette in Free Builder Mode. My questions:

Where can I find my current NMS save game so I can first copy a backup for backup purposes?
What editor should I install? (I'm currently using Windows 11 and don't think the Windows text editor is sufficient, right?)
Where can I find the boolean value in my save game that I need to set from 1 to 0 - or the other way around? - to unblock my difficulty settings in the game?

🙏 I thank everyone in advance who wants to give me support! 🙏

PS. I start to install JSON Editor.

[ionic phoenix]

I need help gents, which lines in the gcuiglobals.global.mbin/exml refers to VR UI options.
I'm trying to find anything semi resembling such as VRattachtype or VR camera and there's nothing like that in the code.

Don't shoot me for asking

[median kettle]

PPS. Okay, notepad++ is installed. ^-^'

[fresh arch]

Though any save editor should make a backup automatically

[icy dock]

is there a mod for actually somewhat decent looking black holes

[fresh arch]

You'll need either Goatfungus on Nomnom save editors, both should be updated to current game version, you'll find those hosted on Github

Follow the instalation instructions there, you will need to install some dependencies (Java / .NET)

Once you get that installed, you'll need to edit raw JSON data, find the SettingsLocked value and set it to false

At least that's what I believe needs to be done, Im no save editing expert

New mod released: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3725

[vale iron]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2007

[vale iron]

There aren't a ton of obvious UI things in globals. If you're trying to change the UI, it's probably in the UI files, not globals. If you're trying to adjust how the camera behaves, you want camera globals. Look for VR and hmd

[icy dock]

gah dayum mf ts fire asl

[fallow meadow]

I see FriendlyFire assisted you well Do not hesitate to ask further questions if you have any.

[median kettle]

Well, yeah ... I'm still learning the ropes and will now search GitHub. I naively opened the save game with notepad++, using JSON as a language, which ultimately looks like this. 😅

[fresh arch]

yeah this is what encrypted save data contents look like, regular text editors don't understand it

You need dedicated save editors, those can decrypt and understand this mess

[marsh eagle]

It's not encrypted but compresseed and once you get the json it has name-key obfuscation on top of that

[median kettle]

Alright, I will download and install nomnom from GitHub first. 👍

[fresh arch]

right, obfuscation was the term, apologies

[median kettle]

Okay, right ... I see I must install .NET 8.0 under Windows before ... I'm still learning ... Let's see~

[ionic phoenix]

I'm trying to switch the UI alignment so it will follow the head movement rather than being attached to the world. Seems Sean Murray will fix everything besides this.

[fallow meadow]

I'd actually recommend using NMSSE for directly working with the JSON data, although NomNom will do fine as well.

[median kettle]

Oh, okay!? ... I see that I can now easily unlock all the goodies from the missed expeditions myself using the editor. 😶

[fallow meadow]

Yes you can, and a whole lot more. Save Editors are really powerful in their own right

[median kettle]

Yeah, I see ...

A real editor.

[fallow meadow]

Just a fair warning that Corvette ships are internally functioning like a regular starship as well as a base. This is however not fully implemented in the save editors yet, so do not import/export ships and or bases for now. Doing this through the raw data is possible, if you know how

Focus on what you set out to accomplish for now, wonder about whatever else you can now do after.

[forest crow]

hey guys i really like the game, the only issue i have is that i absolutely despise the color palette, everything is green and yellow, but not normal green and yellow, but literally the color of puke

any reshade or something that someone can recommend?

[median kettle]

Thanks for the warning! Right now, though, I'm really just trying to remove the lock I set myself at the beginning of the game. I'm still digging through the Nomnom editor and taking a look at everything in peace ...

[fallow meadow]

You could have a look on Nexus Mods and see if there is anything 'recent'. I am personally not familiar with using ReShade, but maybe someone else can chime in

[median kettle]

@fallow meadow: Nice, I found it! :3

I will set the value on "false" now.

To Devilin Pixy and everyone else in this channel:

🙏 Thank you so much for the support you've given me here. This whole thing is quite interesting, and I'll probably delve into it more deeply when I get the chance. 🙏 Thanks!

[vale iron]

That does sound like something that, if it existed, would be in either camera or UI globals, but I don't know if it's there. I don't think any of the modders here have VR to develop or test things, so you're going to be on your own

[ionic phoenix]

I understand, thank you.

[cobalt condor]

There's no option for it anywhere in the files, I've looked too

Most VR specific stuff is hardcoded to be the way it is. If HG had programmed the functionality for the VR UI to be anchored to the head instead of the world, they probably would have it that way by default

[ionic phoenix]

Damn, that's one way to kill my b0ner.

[earnest heath]

is the no mans sky expdition generator mod safe?

[fallow meadow]

Should be fine, but any issues should be reported with the creator. You can check here for further info: https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/

[earnest heath]

Ok so me and my friends can download it without worries?

[fallow meadow]

Make a backup is all I can add to that

[earnest heath]

ok thanks

[lusty crypt]

Do edited saves to exo suits transfer between saves? I started a new save and all my tech slots in my exo suit are turbo charged

And if so is there a way to get it back to normal?

[still glen]

has anyone made a mod yet that just lets you freely build a corvette?

[fresh arch]

no and you don't need one

Just use creative mode and pick from any part from workshop freely

[fallow meadow]

Are you using a mod?

[lusty crypt]

I used a save editor for my main save

[fallow meadow]

A save editor only applies changes you made, so starting a brand new save slot, should not affect this. If you are playing an existing save which you have edited to have all techslots supercharged, this will stay until you edit it again to remove those

[lusty crypt]

I started a new save and I believe it transferred the supercharged slots some how

[fallow meadow]

That should not happen.

[lusty crypt]

Weird. Is it possible for the game to give you all supercharged slots? Did I hit the lottery?

Even new slots I buy are supercharged

[fallow meadow]

The game should not do this either. You get up to 4 max

What game mode did you start this new save with?

[lusty crypt]

Survival

[fallow meadow]

and you are sure you have no mods installed?

[lusty crypt]

You know what I do

Just remembered

But none that effect inventory as far as I know

[fallow meadow]

So what did you do?

Sometimes mods can have unexpected results that may appear totally unrelated

[lusty crypt]

I have the one that allows you to call freighter in low orbit atmosphere and one that increases variety of ships in systems but I think they are all disabled ill double check

[fallow meadow]

Make sure to disable/remove all mods, then restart and try a brand new save again. The one you currently made, may have been affected without reverting. We want to make sure it is not the game doing this

[lusty crypt]

Ok I’ll do that and report back

Ok I removed all mods and started a new save and it appears to have solved the issue. No supercharged slots in inventory now

[lusty crypt]

.

[fallow meadow]

Good to know, so it is not the game. I suspect it was one of the mods, as a save editor does nothing to a save unless you tell it to. In case you wish to use mods again, make sure to check using updated compatible versions, and in case of issues, figure out which mod is causing it, to report back to the creator

[lusty crypt]

Ok I will. Thank you for your assistance!

[fierce rapids]

does anyone use the faster scanning mod? if so how to you change the scan speed?

[bitter perch]

Can someone link me to the no-limit mods ? For the Corvette parts limit

[jaunty fractal]

Does anyone know which mod is crashing my game? (I also have transcender installed)
Edit: nvm it was transcender

[final hazel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3701

[bitter perch]

It's always you who helps me out ❤️

[halcyon rose]

Okay

[jaunty fractal]

Are there any mods that just make the ships faster, I've looked but all the ones I found make the pulse engine faster instead

[lime mesa]

So I was trying to use a backup save file from the 12.07.25, which is now shown as incompatible in game and also not properly recognized by the goatfungus save editor, that one recently had a version update itself. Anything I can do to make it match? Reverting NMS Version the only way ig?

[fresh arch]

loading the save in current game version and letting the game process it to update to new save data version

[ionic phoenix]

but Y

[limber zodiac]

Can anyone recommend a mod that either removes or tones down the biome-dependent colour filters on planets? They're often a bit much and it's sort of... hard to tell what a planet actually looks like with a strong sepia filter on it all the time. I notice the switch to the colour filter while on approach from space and that also is very un-immersive

I've looked around on Nexus but the only ones I've really found that do that haven't been updated in years

[final hazel]

This one works but seems to only apply to lush worlds https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3549

[wicked wraith]

Does anyone have a mod or way to free cam while building ?

[final hazel]

You can already free cam while building in vanilla, though there are mods that let you go through objects too https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3300

[wicked wraith]

Thanks, that's what I meant, unfortunately that mod doesn't work as of the voyagers update

[final hazel]

Ah, well it has for me

Ohhhh, the build cam part has broken

but photomode still works

[spring flint]

can anyone find me the image files for some of the in-game decor posters?

[solid hawk]

You are free to extract the files from the game .paks yourself. HGPAKTool. No cost

Once extracted they'll be in the TEXTURES folder, somewhere

[solid hawk]

There is a screenshot provided.

[storm yacht]

Is there a way to instantly teleport myself to a system without glyphs?

So I found a nice planet on my normal playthrough and I’m wanting to do a hardcore playthrough and I wanna start my adventure on that planet. Is that possible?

[vale iron]

gGame Better Faster Scan has many options. If those still aren't enough, you can edit the EXML file in a text editor

[fierce rapids]

yes I think I have to edit it in order to get it to work, but do not know how

[vale iron]

To get it to work? You shouldn't

No one has reported that it isn't working

[tardy pendant]

is there a mod that allows scaling of unscalable buildables?

[vale iron]

Beyond Base Building, I think. gBase Scaling increases the range.

[fierce rapids]

it is supposed to scan faster. It is scanning at regular speed

[vale iron]

You probably have it installed incorrectly

Follow the troubleshooting and getting help steps of #nms-modding message

[random salmon]

is this the right place to ask about save editing?

[vale iron]

You can, but there's a server with experts

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[random salmon]

i just had a quick question if save editing to change one of my ships to the starborn runner would change my gamemode from normal to custom or really cause any issues

[vale iron]

It would not, but I wouldn't recommend messing with ships right now in a save editor, as they are still figuring out the new corvette structure and it could interfere

For the runner, I would say go to nexus mods and get either Consumerism or the Starborn Runner Unlocker mod

A bit safer for now

[random salmon]

ah okay glad to know that. and if i get the ship with mods and then delete the mod will it corrupt my save if you know?

[hollow acorn]

Question, whats the point of Modding NMS, when it has gazillions of galaxies to explore, yes we wont see them all in our IRL life time, but stil,

[vale iron]

Won't hurt at all.

[hollow acorn]

also what mods are there anyways for NMS

[vale iron]

To play the game the way you enjoy it

Modding isn't about "see more stuff sooner"

[hollow acorn]

but issnt it mainly to be played with others

[random salmon]

and ill be able to see every other player in normal mode just like how i can now?

[hollow acorn]

true but as asked above, what mods are there thats useful for NMS

[vale iron]

No, it's a single player game that had multiplayer tacked onto it and is non-competitive

Check Nexus Mods

[hollow acorn]

or u can list

[vale iron]

I'm not going to list 1000s for you

[hollow acorn]

like useful reaason for modding

did i say 1000

clearly asked whats so useful of it

[vale iron]

...to play the game the way you want?

As I said before

[hollow acorn]

ok u not helpful

anyone else bessides him

[vale iron]

I don't have time to argue with someone that hates mods

[hollow acorn]

did I say I hate mods

I mod games my self

[vale iron]

No, you implied they shouldn't be used

[hollow acorn]

u making a lot of assumptions within 1 min of talking towards me or answering or trying to answer my questions

[vale iron]

Go look and see if there are things you think would be useful. I don't know what you think would be useful

[hollow acorn]

which clearly u not being helpful

if u cant provide anything help then pleaase stop talking to me

[vale iron]

You're spending more time here than you would just going to look

...no?

[hollow acorn]

literally just joined the discord and didnt think I had to block someone on here right awayy in less then 2mins

[vale iron]

Block me if you want, but you'll lose access to one of the most knowledgeable people on the server. I don't really care

[fallen bough]

mods for this game are so subjective bro nobody can give u a good answer, u might aswell go on the nexus and look at trending or whatever 😭

[hollow acorn]

most knowledgeable but not providing the answer, sometimes ssmart people are the idiot ones, kids these dayys

[vale iron]

Dude standing next to the window and refuses to look outside for the weather and insists someone tell him what the weather is.

[hollow acorn]

what I am saying iss whats useful for modding for nms, what makes it different, does it provide more content etc

or just general feel of adding skins to ships etc

[vale iron]

Custom ships can be done

But both of those mods are currently out of commission, coming back soon

[marsh ruin]

is there any mod for a casual playyer to just unlock all corvette stuff?

[hollow acorn]

clearly he didnt get the memo, "didnt think I had to block someone one here"

[vale iron]

Not sure if there is yet, but Everything in Space Stations should have it

eventually

That's how it would appear in a mod, as additions to an NPC vendor, not as a direct unlock

[marsh ruin]

Oh okay, thankyou!

[random salmon]

do you know if the nomansapp.com.. is legit or not?

[vale iron]

It's good

[solar vapor]

Anyone figure out how to mod out the Corvette habitation module requirement yet...? MicroCorvettes™ need to be a thing...

[vale iron]

I haven't seen specific requirements in teh files yet. It may be in the exe

[solar vapor]

Oh come on HG, I need this!
Without it, this seems to be the smallest I can go:

Or if I remove the elevator and put the turret on top, this maybe:

But that looks very chonkalicious
... and like a face

[tepid creek]

most NMS mods are just quality of life anyways

there's some that adds things into the game

and a lot that are focused on world gen too

like NMS is a game i have very little often no mods for

at least in comparison to other games i've played

[vale iron]

You'll want to ping that other guy. He won't see anything I say 😉 but yeah, QoL, but everyone's definition of better is different

[tepid creek]

yeah fair

[vale iron]

I play expeditions vanilla once, other than visual changes, but use mods for normal play

[tepid creek]

the only problem is and i have this issue with cyberpunk is the devs are too generous please stop giving us updates modders keep having their shit made obsolete 😭

[vale iron]

They fixed a good percentage of that with worlds Part 2. Granted, we had to remake everything completely, but now they survive a lot more

[tepid creek]

also im just trying to find whats compatible but im assuming most mods that are compatible with worlds part 2 are compatible with voyagers too?

outside of ship mods of course

i wanted the rotating atmosphere mod but idk if its functional

[vale iron]

If updated after January 28th and EXML, probably still ok

Anything before then or MBIN and after, very likely not ok

[tepid creek]

yeah it works

there's a mod status page on nexus

[vale iron]

I need to update mine this week

[solid hawk]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1198 better 🙂

[solid hawk]

Already in there

[spare chasm]

Are there mods that let you replace the OST with differnt tracks?

[vale iron]

No, but why would you? NMS music is the best in gaming 😄

It could be done but no one has

[frigid grove]

I was pondering it. I don't know much about modding, but would it be able to look in anything other than .pak files? I bet that's what's being asked here. Otherwise I assume it'd be a case of needing to have some sort of tool outside of the game to override tracks and generate the .pak files for you.

[vale iron]

They can either be used as loose WEM files in the audio folder, or might need to be in BNKs, but that hasn't been confirmed yet

[frigid grove]

Dammit that's tempting. I actually don't listen to music while playing games. I guess I could rip some ASMR audio, lol.

[solid hawk]

NMS audio is, arcane to say the least. I know you could do it, but EVERYONE struggles at first and most give up

AUDIO is either loose WEM, which isn't too bad, or within .bnk. "our" tool to work with the bnk ones has been half broken for quite some time.

[frigid grove]

I shouldn't be surprised, but I still am that it's not just all .mp3 files.

[vale iron]

Why do game companies use wem? What are the benefits?

[frigid grove]

What I gather is they are a container file for audio files, and they have extra data/capabilities to allow for lossless manipulation of audio. Kind of like MKV files (video containers that have some extra capabilities for players that handle them)

[eager ore]

Is there a mod for Voyager Update to remove base object limit or do I have to modify the files?

[fresh arch]

There are no mods to remove the limits on parts, those are hardcoded in the game's executable

And carry over to save data structure, which has fixed size lists to store info for bases

There are mods that add new building parts like Eucli-ea or remove many limitations like scalling, not being able to place on planet / freighter (Beyond Base Building)

[glossy drum]

Is there any mod that lets me activate walking with a dedicated key?

without the use of a controller

[vale iron]

There used to be an RP walk mod, not sure if it's working

[glossy drum]

OK thanks I will try it

also free look is very limited idk why they made it like that

[vale iron]

I might update my player movement mod this weekend. I have it tweaked to walk at normal speed on PC, just at the threshold of walk speed so it isn't quite as slow but has the animation

[glossy drum]

Ah ok... Well the RP walk still works

[robust thorn]

I bet this has been asked a dozen of times now, but is there Mod or Tool out there that allows me to change the Colors on my existing ships (without a paywall)? I recently found a Sentinel Interceptor of which i really love the shape but hate the color of

[fresh arch]

Nope, the game uses a single value called a seed to create a ship with all it's properties, including parts and colour scheme

Can't separate one from another, it would be a job for reverse engineering the game's algorithms to find the same parts combo in different colours

[hot ember]

anyone using Dud's recolor mods to confirm they currently work and it's a conflict on my end?

[vale iron]

There's a pretty good chance Dud's stuff doesn't work currently, but I can't say for sure

He does everything manually and with MBINs still I think, which break easily

[hot ember]

ah okay, I don't need to do 50/50s then to check for conflicts

and while I'm here, any working mod that makes deep water less murky? I want to explore deep oceans but have mild thalassophobia and being able to see farther makes it less uncomfortable

[ornate shuttle]

Is there a mod for adding freighter parts to a corvette?

[hearty wasp]

beyond base building does that now I think

[fresh arch]

Funny how a new feature generates a bajilion new downloads for an older established mod

[quasi dust]

i figured out issue with sentinels. its LITERALLY ANY MOD you use, any mod enabled causes sentinels behaviour to break, can anyone take a guess why that would be?

[quasi dust]

even if i use GDAMAGE and nothing else, i get this broken behaviour. do you think the issue can be fixed by HG?

[vale iron]

What broken behavior?

[quasi dust]

attacking them, causes the initial repair bot to spawn in, but then the next two that typically spawn, do not pursue player. infact looking closeley at them, they slowly move back away from the player along the ground. its next to impossible to fight waves

they cant even detect me

unless i shoot them(2 that spawn after repair bot)

[vale iron]

I've never heard of that. Is it new?

[quasi dust]

yes its been annoying me for a few days since voyagers. i thought its game bug. but after launching with mods disabled, the issue went away.. added one mod at a time, and noticed any mod, including GDAMAGE which is usually very compatible, produced same behaviour

disable via game setting :disable all mods" - true

all my mods are EXML files, have 10 in total, mostly simple value changes to economy

[hearty wasp]

if there is no singular mod that is causing it, then it is categorically a game bug

[vale iron]

It happens with any mod at all?

[hearty wasp]

I assume you have tested the 10 mods individually

[quasi dust]

but the issue doesnt happen in an unmodded load

[hearty wasp]

having mods installed doesn't equal caused by a mod

[quasi dust]

yes, just tested with GDAMAGE and squadron damage as only mods, same result

[hearty wasp]

if it is not caused by a specific mod it's not a mod issue

[quasi dust]

i understand, it isnt a specific mod, im say any mod loaded will cause it. to me thats new

[hearty wasp]

if you haven't tested your 10 mods one by one, you prolly should

[quasi dust]

i just did

[hearty wasp]

ah ok

you only mentioned having test both gdamage and squadron so I assumed that's the only scenario apart from having all 10 installed you tested

[vale iron]

I would say do a file verification and report it to HG, though they usually don't touch anything with mods

[hearty wasp]

I mean since that's the first and only time I've heard of such an issue I'm more inclined to think it's either one specific mod or their specific install

the behaviour sounds like what a mod that disables robot aggression does

[vale iron]

Did you check your difficulty options to make sure you don't have land combat turned off?

[quasi dust]

yes just checked there. Setting is set to HOSTILE on foot. infact you know i tried loading the game with one Texture mod "__Exosolar's Clear Scanner and Surveyor" which only touches the TEXTURES folder, and the issue is there still

if i disable all mods, the issue is not there. this is bizzare

il do a integrity check on game now...

[hearty wasp]

if may help us know the sitch better if you post your MODS folder like this

[cobalt condor]

This happens for me in vanilla, too. I had to do some thorough testing because I just made a mod related to sentinels and thought it was my fault

[quasi dust]

like i said, its not neccessary as it happens with simply one mod in the folder

[hearty wasp]

it'll still help confirm your mods are installed properly

[quasi dust]

so you experienced it in Vanilla too..hmmm. as soon as i disable mods they attack normally. mods maybe compunding the issue, but for what reason i dont know

[quasi dust]

i understand that, but the directory is fine and correct

my mods do work

[hearty wasp]

we trust but verify

[quasi dust]

how do i screenshot my folder?

[hearty wasp]

your words are only reliable to a degree

[hearty wasp]

see if your keyboard as a scprt key above your arrow keys

click the folder and then press Alt + scprt

or PrtScn or whatever it's called on your keyboard

or this use window's snipping tool ig https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/use-snipping-tool-to-capture-screenshots-00246869-1843-655f-f220-97299b865f6b

[quasi dust]

it isnt working. print screen button

my rig is in chinese too man, and im not chinese so alot of stuff is hard

[hearty wasp]

then use the snipping tool

[quasi dust]

can speak it not read it too well

ok

[hot ember]

the sentinel distance bug has been happening inconsistently to me as well, can be seemingly any number/type
I think the AI breaks on certain terrain

[quasi dust]

terrain related was a theory

i had as they seem to clip through the snow

game is getting update on PC right now

7.1GB it says

[vale iron]

I hold win+s and the screen goes grey, then highlight what I want, it puts it in the clipboard and can be pasted wherever

[ornate shuttle]

Not to throw your conversation off the rails while you're actively working on fixing am issue, but I was wondering what mods are an absolute must. Finally decided to just switch over to my PC because muh limited storage space on Xbox. I got a few things downloaded, but looking for things like making more photogenic worlds, space and so on.

[vale iron]

There are no absolute musts because mods are so subjective, at least for this game

There are a few palette and atmosphere type mods you could look into

anything after january 28th will probably work, but still a chance it won't

[quasi dust]

yeah il chime in and suggest holding off for a few patches

[quasi dust]

thanks i didnt get it

working

im going to play full vanilla for a while

in liue of mods il impose house rules and restrictions

[ornate shuttle]

I mean, so far the only mod not actively working as far as I can tell is the custom freighter one. But that's just now being worked on. I haven't tried building a new corvette to see if I can add freighter parts or if the mod that removes the complexity limit works, but they both should.

[quasi dust]

ok scratch what i said. just tested in pure vanilla envoirnment without mods, and a sa user above said, the sentinel behaviour is also like this in pure Vanilla. completely game bug

seems to happen at random but most of the time. i already reported this bug to HG

[steel crypt]

Vanilla bug for at least a year now.

[vale iron]

Updated in time for the expedition

[lime mesa]

Is it possible to reset (fully delete) the accountdata file? I want a fresh one for save editing purposes, however Steam always keeps redownloading the old one somehow, even after disabling the cloud, deleting stuff and later reenabling the cloud

I have tried several things such as deleting the files while the game is open with the cloud active so that it saves those changes etc.

If anyone could give me a quick rundown of how to just normally do it‘d be a huge relief. Cause clearly I am missing something…

[marsh eagle]

Thats a good question. Can you try with steam offline mode, disable internet completely, then start the game, let it create a fresh accountdata by making a new savegame.
Then exit game go online, let the cloud sync and check

[lime mesa]

Hmm alright sounds like a plan, will do so once the patch has downloaded in like half an hour

[cold sequoia]

Could someone look into Infinite item stack mod please i keep crashing when trying to land on a planet and trying todo a mission it's even crashes when multiplayer is disabled

This is the only mod installed

I think the Author has to update it maybe

[solid hawk]

Contact the author in posts on the mod page. His responsibility

[cold sequoia]

Ok will do

Done

[lime mesa]

So doing this prompts a data conflict within the cloud, but upon selecting the new local files instead of the old cloud saved ones, and going into the game and saving again, the accountdata is recreated. I just checked it inside of the save editor and it still has all the rewards it already used to have.

The game also didn't create any accountfile after deleting the files and starting the game in offline mode, only save files. An accoundata file was only created after I chose to go online again and let the cloud sync (which promped a conflict, in which I selected the cloud to use the local file and basically overwrite the old ones). So I wonder why it is still bringing back the old accountfile...Sigh. I know that this used to work back in the day and it was also easier

[lime mesa]

Yeah I think I really have to give up on this, no matter what it keeps bringing back the old account file. Maybe they changed something and it is somehow tied to Steam/HG on the serverside now? No idea tbh

[wet valley]

Note to self
shrinking an npc workstation, shrinks the npc

[radiant needle]

with mods can you still play multiplayer or is it restricted?

[wet valley]

Ive been doing multiplayer fine but i stick with mods that dont add brand new content

Unmodded players arent able to see 90% of content made using mods

[radiant needle]

so im fine modding the game and not having to worry about losing the feature?

[radiant needle]

^

[fresh arch]

Using mods does not prevent people from playing MP

Whether the mods effects are visible / sync in MP, that's another story

[radiant needle]

thats acctually cool! you got reccomendations?

[fresh arch]

nope because

1. mods are highly subjective thing

2. mods tend to break with updates so whatever recommendation I might having, it might be outdated for current game version

Go to Nexus Mods, browse through recently updated or newly released mods, pick what you fancy

like this

also post screenshot of what you interact with in the game to get the stuff

[compact stratus]

yep, not that folder

it's the one inside that, with the prettier name

[fresh arch]

yup

[halcyon rose]

Trying to get things from this guy

[fresh arch]

anytime you see a bunch of random ass names in folder name, it's not properly unpacked

and files being "1 level deeper" than they need to be makes mod not work

[halcyon rose]

aaaahhhhh, because it counts as a subfolder as it is

that's why it didn't load?

[compact stratus]

Yes

[halcyon rose]

Thanks guys

Okay I replaced the folder

And restarted the game

Everything remains the same

What else could it be?

[fresh arch]

what "remains the same"

[halcyon rose]

The mod not working

It didn't unlock the stuff

[fresh arch]

did you get the mod warning screen when launching the game?

[halcyon rose]

yep

gonna re-do all the process hold on

[fresh arch]

post screenshot of the game where exactly are you trying to get the stuff

whole screen, not cropped

[halcyon rose]

Okay restarted everything and now this guy (screenshot) has the expedition rewards available to buy

He's at the anomaly

[fresh arch]

alright I was pressing because lots of people dont understand what this mod does

to the point of mod author doing this

https://i.imgur.com/7SUSONZ.png

[halcyon rose]

The mod's thing is now I can work my way to get this stuff out of doing expeditions or time travelling to do the earlier ones

right?

[fresh arch]

yes, you buy them like any normal Quicksilver shop trinket

[solid hawk]

Can you buy them like Quicsilver shop bauble too?

Baubkes are cooler than trinkets, IMO

Even better, tchotchke!

[tall aurora]

Im sure someone here has used save editor on the expedition, right?

I really need some help in there, hoping someone could give me some stuff so I can quickly get this done

[ornate shuttle]

So for those who use the mod that removes the restrictions on parts and complexity for corvettes, does it work on editing existing ships? Or only new ones? Because I tried editing one design and I couldn't because it said I was over the limit. Don't know if I somehow installed the mod wrong.

[fresh arch]

I dont think game cares or differentiates between existing and new corvettes

[final hazel]

Yeah, the part limit isn't something saved, it's a universal thing that counts how many structural parts your ship has at runtime and compares it to a number

Mods change that number

The mod was probably installed wrong in some way :<

[halcyon rose]

If they have the same date and hour how can I now which one is the save file I'm actually using?

[ornate shuttle]

Weird. Just used Vortex and it did what I would've done myself. Don't know how I would've screwed it up, but that sounds about right

[final hazel]

Both are the same save, odd is autosave and even is restore point

[fresh arch]

each save slot / character uses 2 save files

what Grouch said

[final hazel]

The game will load the most recent of the two from the main menu, so if editing then edit the most recent

[halcyon rose]

okayy thanks

[final hazel]

You're also free to use save editors while the game is open, the game never refers to the save file after initial loading

[hollow plover]

anyone know why my pet companion unlocker mod won't work

i extracted it and put it in a "MODS" folder in "PCBANK"

it will not work though

[halcyon rose]

As a wise sage said: "post screenshot of MODS folder with path visible"

[hollow plover]

okay

that folder is straight out of the extracted folder

[fresh arch]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/339714478113292298/1411241407020273725/modsfolder.png?ex=68b9367b&is=68b7e4fb&hm=2616580694716dc27486485c56bc525ad853e15aad5f5cc685da9fc6a7893d55&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=1544&height=873

[halcyon rose]

Put the mods folder into the GAMEDATA one

not the PCBANKS

[hollow plover]

oh

[hollow plover]

let me test, ive moved mods into gamedata

wait

do i leave this in pcbanks?

it was there originally

[fresh arch]

game doesn't care about it

no it was not

[hollow plover]

it was like a year ao

ago

i haven't moved it

[fresh arch]

even then there was no ENABLEMODS file

There was a DISABLEMODS file that needed to be yeeted out

[hollow plover]

oh

i must've changed the name to enabled

[celest drum]

I had a look through nexus and theres fa mods there is there a different repository of mods i can browse through?

[hollow plover]

anyway, the game says that theres mods installed, (it didn't before so i think its fixed)

thanks

[fresh arch]

No, all active mod authors upload to Nexus Mods

If you see any NMS mods outside of this platform, they are most likely stolen

[celest drum]

Huh, there were only 5 pages but ive heard of mods that wernt in the list. Im thinking nexus is just screwing with me lol

Oh nvm it automatically filtered into the last month for some reason

[fresh arch]

which you should be doing anyway

Mods can still break with updates so general recomendation is to stick to recently updated or newly released mods

[hollow plover]

yay i can ride my sandworm now

[celest drum]

Super simple ones like replacing the skybox, would they need updating each time or do they persist

I got modding ptsd from blade and sorcery

[fresh arch]

It doesn't matter how the mod looks on paper, what matter is how it's done, what files it modifies and in what way

Mods utilizing MBIN replacements are most likely to break with game updates

[celest drum]

Womp womp

[fresh arch]

Mods utilizing EXML patches can survive updates but are never guaranteed to

Mods that are just DDS texture replacements of text replacements should be good to go

[celest drum]

I just want my space to look less like a childs drawing and my controller flight controls to be rebindable

[hearty wasp]

Can't

💀

[hearty wasp]

Just change controller mapping in steam

"Steer"

[smoky pawn]

Honestly, individual control bindings for ship movement would be nice. WASDQE for rotation, 0-9 or - and + for throttle, Maybe a settable throttle/cruise control mode for sublight flight as well. The weird mouse-as-joystick-emulation thing bothers me more than I care to admit, and the dead man's throttle is just exhausting some days.

Submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[fresh arch]

can't be done with mods, gonna ask HG to work on that

[smoky pawn]

Also gonna submit a ticket for that. It's a big hinderance for me and is the main reason I don't play many other modern space games. I either go flying or get super disoriented when doing anything more complicated than basic sublight travel. Combat is basically impossible for me without cheats cause i can't see where the heck I AM, let alone where I'm going.

[smoky pawn]

Do they prioritize tickets with specific gamemodes and/or platforms? Wanna make sure this gets seen

[fresh arch]

nobody knows what HG does and why it does the things it does

Only thing we are pretty sure about is that whenever mods are mentioned in bug report, you get standard automatic reply to disable mods and nobody gives a damn past that

[smoky pawn]

Is it a good or bad idea to mention another game they can play to get a feel for why this control scheme works? There are at least 3 documented examples I can think of, but I don't want to set off their "rip off" alarms. If they have any.

Fair enough. Player noclip mod?

And/or proper freecam mod?

[solid hawk]

I don't know what you mean by proper. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1436

Just an FYI, modding for NMS is highly limited. No API. We can change values for existing properties. That's it.

true to false, red to blue, 1 to 100 sort of thing. 🙂

[smoky pawn]

That is... unfortunate.

[smoky pawn]

Also, any relation?

[solid hawk]

Not good or bad, just how it's been and how it will be

[smoky pawn]

And here I was dreaming of poking at the editor lmao

Gotcha, much obliged stranger ❤️

Both make changes in the same file, one just limits the scope of the mod to one specific section.

[abstract pebble]

@graceful fiber I put the mods in the Mods folder in the Gamedata/PCBanks/Mods folder and they don't work. Not sure why.

[solid hawk]

Because mods don't go there. GAMEDATA\MODS

[graceful fiber]

does your filepath look like this

ya totally wrong place lol

[solid hawk]

NOT GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\MODS

[abstract pebble]

it still doesn't work

[graceful fiber]

wonder if they have the disablemods.txt

[solid hawk]

Please post a screenshot of your GAMEDATA\MODS, including the address bar

[solid hawk]

That no longer exists or is used. Deprecated back in January

[graceful fiber]

oh thank god lol

[abstract pebble]

It's empty now because I removed the mods

[solid hawk]

Then they won't work

[graceful fiber]

you need to drop the entire folder in

like dis

[graceful fiber]

that should work

[solid hawk]

The mod folders need to go in there, not loose files, and within the mod folder, the files have to be in specific folder.

[graceful fiber]

pretty sure THAT file tho isnt the complexity limit

you need the 10x file

[abstract pebble]

I've always done it differently in other games

[graceful fiber]

that just removes the internal complexity / parts placement limit

[solid hawk]

Delete the second one, extracted incorrectly. The first is correct. 🙂

...and thank you for using BBB

[graceful fiber]

?

[abstract pebble]

that's the only file I get when unzipping the mod

[solid hawk]

I understand

[arctic kestrel]

is there a website or channel where people have uploaded files of their corvette ship builds that we can import using save editor?

[solid hawk]

That folder is just not doing anything. Actual mod folder is within it, but then one level too deep for the game to see it and use.

[solid hawk]

There's a channel on the Creative and Sharing Discord

A channel for corvettes. Best bet, I'd think

[graceful fiber]

also is this your mod? because ive done some INSANE amazing things to my corvette thanks to it

i have working interior doors now 😭

[vale iron]

6.04 - The Base Building Update - Completely new system!

[solid hawk]

Nope, they did that for Frontiers update and Winder and I STILL have nightmares about that fiasco

[sinful dagger]

yoo im fucking blind

where do i remove a part in a corvette

whats the file path

accidentally added a part u cant remove ingame lol

[solid hawk]

You need to raw json edit with one of the save editors

That info will be in PersistentPlayerBases

You remove the section for the part you want gone. If you have more than one of that part, it'll be trial and error to get the right one

[sinful dagger]

how can i tell which playershipbase it is 😭

is it in order of when u created them?

(if it is i know which one)

[solid hawk]

1. It'll be the one with corvette parts in it.
2. Unless you've built another base in the past week, it should be the last one in the list.

[sinful dagger]

i got like 4 corvettes tho

thats the issue

the question is just

is it by order of creation

aka lets say on 08.08.2025 i create one base and then the next day 09.08.2025 for example i create another would the 08.08 be 23 and the 09.08 thing be 24?

id assume so based on the bases rn

[solid hawk]

Yesh, order of creation, I believe.

[ornate shuttle]

I hope I can get the part limit/complexity limit remover mod to work tomorrow. Really want to go crazy on a new corvette design.

[solid hawk]

May want to check with the folks in the save-editing channel over on the Creative and Sharing Discord though

[sinful dagger]

it looks like it

my first base is first

[solid hawk]

I just dabble as needed, they're the experts

[sinful dagger]

my last physical base is last

i did build on the second base after the last base

the order is as creation

u know on top of ur head what the object ID of settlement unobtainable pieces are 😭

wait found it i think lemme check

found it, thanks @solid hawk

[solid hawk]

NP. Sorry about that, had to go do IRL

[compact patio]

Anyone know if there's a way to add quicksilver and nanites for the GOG version? Playing offline and would rather not have unlimited. If that's okay to ask here...

[solid hawk]

Can add as little or as much as you'd like with either save editor

Or mods, like https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2288 or https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2083 , as examples

[vale iron]

I recommend those two mods, and things like them. The game will be more enjoyable if you feel like you earned the stuff

[smoky pawn]

Suppose I did a silly and scaled up some parts for my corvette that I now want to remove. The object removal raycast isn't working because they're so comically big. How would I best go about removing them manually?

[vale iron]

If it's truly too big, you could try going into the JSON on a save editor and manually deleting them

[smoky pawn]

What would I be looking for, JSON-tag-wise? I'm trying to remove the decorative robotic arms

Also yes, definitely too big.

[vale iron]

PersistentPlayerBase

backup first

[smoky pawn]

Okay, found the ship in NomNom's JSON editor. 319 objects, all of them blank. Is there a tag or string I can search for to find the robotic arms?

[vale iron]

I don't know that ID, sorry. I believe corvettes are stored in two locations. The buildable items are in one place and ship type data in another

[dire zinc]

Can you mod NMS from the steam workshop?

As in download mods

[vale iron]

No

You download from Nexus Mods

[dire zinc]

Sux

[vale iron]

You can mod on Steam, you just don't use the Workshop to do it

[dire zinc]

Damn if it isn't on Steam I'm not interested ig

[vale iron]

ok

[smoky pawn]

No quick n easy mods

Not allowed. Everything must involve manual json editing.

[dire zinc]

Is it download and drop into a folder or is it finicky to set up?

[smoky pawn]

It's drag-n-drop.

Just make sure to go for recent mods, as older ones tend to break.

[dire zinc]

Oh so it isn't too bad. I just want custom decals for my corvette

I wanna have kitty on corvette

[vale iron]

I don't know if there are any currently

And definitely not a mod that has a decal of your kitty

Though it's cute

[dire zinc]

😮 i was more thinking you could upload an image and have it as a decal

I'm gonna learn how to mod NMS for burgerhead (thats my car) decals 😤

[vale iron]

It's possible, but I don't think one exists yet

I think you could make a mod that points to a specific file, then the user could replace that file. Though most people don't know how to make BC7 DDS files with mipmaps

[smoky pawn]

Does anyone know the ObjectID for the robot arms?

[vale iron]

Check NMS assistant

[smoky pawn]

Nvm, found it

"ObjectID":"^SHIPARMS",

[vale iron]

In persistentplayerbases?

[frigid grove]

Going through the posts I missed. Already know this one is the best one.

[smoky pawn]

Correct.

[fresh arch]

Well we have this one: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1801

So I think it's not a far stretch to have a kitty decal

[fresh arch]

Im a fan of orange branecells but still off-topic for this channel, so please remove it

[solid hawk]

You can have the text, just not the pic. Clutters things too much

[quasi dust]

funnily enough SAVAGE SENTINELS by Babscoole fixes my issues

perhaps hed know the root of the problem more than us

[rough stratus]

@frigid grove I saw your profile and I was wonder how your expedition generator works?
Do you just mimic the missions for fun? Do you get the rewards for future saves if you complete it? (I'm guessing not)

[frigid grove]

It's just using the old expedition config files and putting them in the cache folder. When nms can't get a connection that's where it reads the config from. So we just mess with the values a little and toss the config in there.

Oh, and yeah it's just like you ran the expedition online. Account rewards stay unlocked. This is actually covered at the top of the site 😉

[fresh arch]

yes, you get the same rewards for all the saves just like running the original expedition

[rough stratus]

This is actually covered at the top of the site
I struggled to read the text and missed that lol, my bad

This is so cool

You fixed NMS's expedition FOMO problem

I think I'll go do all the expeditions now

[frigid grove]

I'm open to suggestions. I've tried to put the most common inquiries at the top. That being said, I'm sure people skip it most of the time.

[rough stratus]

Oh, it's a combination of the color and me being tired. It's not too bad. I may like it to be a larger font, maybe important bits bolded, but it's honestly totally fine, an error on my part

[frigid grove]

Aight thanks for the feedback. The color contrast is pretty high, so I think the culprit is the font size. This is the kind of thing I wonder about but nobody ever gives me design feedback ;D

[opaque beacon]

is there a mod that makes first person staff look

not so awkward lol

why is it always pointing at something

[fresh arch]

nope, HG just reused animations from rifle type MT

And we don't have proper tooling to work with animations for NMS

[raven kelp]

are there any mods that subject u to extra bullshit

[fresh arch]

uhhhhh

what do you mean

[raven kelp]

like random acts of violence or more severe natural disasters

[fresh arch]

No, nothing like that

[raven kelp]

like arming some pirates with a fully kitted infra knife, or giving every sentinel the ability to charge at you and explode

[fresh arch]

Mods can't add new functionality, only tweak parameters on existing features / mechanics

nope and nope

[raven kelp]

[fresh arch]

You want increased difficulty, maybe this will help: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2225

[raven kelp]

oooo interesting

[quasi dust]

amazing mod

@solid hawk for you savage sentinels, is there anyway i can disable the feature of more spawning? i play with GDAMAGE already and combat can be hard, id like to just have the sentinel changes if thats possible. could i just delete the metadata or EXPERIENCESPAWNTABLE/EXML files?

another reason i want this is because your mod is the only way that sentinels work in NMS right now. by default they are bugged and do not work but your mod gets around the current issues in the vanilla game

[vale iron]

PTSD as linked above or gDamage are the best options that I know of

oh, Savage Sentinels

[vale iron]

You can just delete that file from your mod folder

[raven kelp]

oh hell yea

[quasi dust]

was my thought at first, but theres a LUA file in that folder structure , and at the bottom (after it goes through all arguments for robotglobals) it then references the spawning file. like so :

{
["SPECIAL_KEY_WORDS"] = {"DroneWeapons", "GcDroneWeaponData"},
["REPLACE_TYPE"] = "ALL",
["MATH_OPERATION"] = "",
["VALUE_MATCH"] = "120.000000",
["VALUE_MATCH_OPTIONS"] = "~=",
["VALUE_CHANGE_TABLE"] =
{
{"Range", 2}
}
},
}
},
{
["MBIN_FILE_SOURCE"] = "METADATA\SIMULATION\SCENE\EXPERIENCESPAWNTABLE.MBIN",
["MXML_CHANGE_TABLE"] =
{
{
["PRECEDING_KEY_WORDS"] = {"SentinelSpawns"},
["MATH_OPERATION"] = "",
["REPLACE_TYPE"] = "ALL",
["VALUE_CHANGE_TABLE"] =
{
{"MinAmount", MINMULTI},
{"MaxAmount", MAXMULTI},
}
},
}
},
}
},
}
}

so its ok if the LUA references the file, but the file isnt present?

[steel crypt]

LUA is used for making mods/altering files.

[vale iron]

If you're just deleting it from the produced directory, it's fine. The Lua is for creating the produced directiory

If that's the only change to experiencespawntable, just delete experiencespawntable from the mod folder

[quasi dust]

did as you said and tested, seemed to be fine. However, now the sentinels are displaying their buggy behaviour again. so id assume, whatever changes the author made in the experiencespawntable.exml fixes Hello games bug

[vale iron]

One change is the range of their weapons, the other is how many spawn, if I remember correctly

Maybe HG is setting their range too low and this overrides that? I don't know for sure without comparing to vanilla and I am a bit busy right now, sorry

[quasi dust]

or perhaps not. maybe the modded spawned value sentinels are different than the initial vanilla ones that spawn

[quasi dust]

ye but they display a really odd "sliding back" behaviour where the roll along ground in opposite direction of player

[vale iron]

Yeah, if it's intermittent it will be hard to track down

That sounds like collision maybe

or pathing

[quasi dust]

they are semi buried in terrain so likely

as are my feet i noticed

since update recently

related i guess. like the NPCs floating

[cobalt condor]

The sentinels have two colliders for their hitbox, one above the other with some space in between. What's happening I think is that one is under the ground and one is above. This causes them to not be able to move up or down, hence the 'sliding along the terrain'. I'm pretty sure the issue would be fixed if they were just set to spawn higher off the ground

[quasi dust]

thats a value in this mod, i believe your correct and why this mod works

could someone with knowledge here make a simple mod to do just that and test it? confirm it then let HG address it?

id happily test or help any way

[vale iron]

Babs will be up in maybe 6 hours and might have time to look at that, but no promises. Unless he specifically asks me to look, I'm not gonna touch it

I'm willing to, just not going to step on his stuff

[quasi dust]

well i just tried a test, thinking terrain is the issue. so i literally went in and used terrain manilupator to carve out alot of space, clearing entirely above,around and below sentinels, it didnt fix their pathing. worth a shot to narrow it down

[quasi dust]

yeh cheers. i hope HG actually addresses it, but im not confident. i think they are too focued on a million new things

[vale iron]

They will. Anything game breaking they get to eventually

[cobalt condor]

with any luck they'll give it higher priority since this expedition is quite sentinel heavy

[quasi dust]

good to know

is this related/bug? im new to the beacon changes

sentinels attacked my settlement

i defeated it

but everytime i return there, either from new planet, or on planet and go out of scene and return...theres a fresh group of mechs there attacking

it happens repeatadly 4 times already. i cant imagine its supposed to be like this

[vale iron]

Corrupted or normal? Sounds like the sentinel avoidance stat. How long are you waiting between those trips?

[haughty scarab]

Are there any mods that unlock things like simulation distance/improve graphics?

I wanna sacrefice my fps for better photo mode pics

[sweet flicker]

Hey so I just found out that theres mods for this game, I'm just wondering how that even works, like I found a mod called better planet generation(idk if its up to date or anything) and it literally changes the world gen, now how does that work in a game with multiplayer feature? Like does it really change the world gen for everybody in this case or would only I/people with the mod too see the changes?

[sweet flicker]

Oh thats so cool thanks for letting me know 😄

[solid hawk]

Bpg very outdated, not usuable

[versed ferry]

I know this is old, but how exactly do you do this?

--
btw does anybody know how i could get all the audio files from the game itself..?
more specifically the procedual music files/.... love the 65daysofstatic album, but it really misses so many of the songs in the game

i saw things about psarc but it doesn't seem to unpack of the pnk files from my game

[waxen cedar]

They patched the use of < bracket in chat so you can no longer abuse it in a way. Renaming things still allows it so you can technically have planets, systems, plants etc. trigger an audio event

[versed ferry]

oh, so it works similarly to the icons and color brackets right?
is there a list of those audio triggers somewhere?

[waxen cedar]

I don't believe anyone has listed them out. I personally dug through the files and listed out a bunch of my favorites years ago when making the text formatting guide.

I never chose to share those because of the griefing potential and earraping you could cause with them.

Easiest way to get them would be to decompile the game and dig through the files that might logically contain audio triggers. Just search for <audio> and you'll find plenty in them.

I could also try and dig through my cloud and see if I still have the text file. It was on old pc and might still be in cloud

[versed ferry]

would be awesome if you find
ill try figuring it out, thanks a lot !

[waxen cedar]

A good dude @frozen spoke could also throw some in your way if you ask. Shouldn't be too much of a hassle if they already happen to be playing around with the stuff.

I personally have stepped down from NMS modding these days just so the game wouldn't be so demystified. I wanna experience the magic of just consuming content without knowing the inner workings.

Hgpaktool

[versed ferry]

i get that, i havent really modded the game at all
one of the few i dont dare to do so (even tho i mod games a lot)... but the music being procedual really feels like a blessing and a curse and you hear sum majestic part that never repeats

reason im here was one of the songs when i loaded in, but it bugged a lil and thought i was in combat... a blast that probably wont play ever again

[frozen spoke]

Are you looking for an audio event played on loading, or in-game? Iirc the soundscape in-game is generated from individual instrument recordings but the loading music list is full blown tracks which are easier to extract

Or even play with audio tags

[versed ferry]

in game, it played when i loaded in, inside my base
just loaded in and as an habit held and saved with the save point on the floor

and i paused the game... its playing one of the game start songs, but with the combat additions with drums etc...
it was awesome

it didnt last long tho, the loop was very short and i assume thats because its a game start song

[versed ferry]

wish there was a wiki page about those--

[frozen spoke]

Oh huh, it might've overlayed a few audio events then. You can unpack the files using HGPAKTOOL and then use the Audio Editor to play out the different tracks to match what you heard, but that's probably gonna take a while given how many variations of the instruments there are for the soundscape

[frozen spoke]

If you want a list you can technically look into the types that MBINCompiler uses on its GitHub page, one of those has all of the audio event tags listed, but that's basically every single audio tag though

[versed ferry]

thats a way to do it... will try it

[frozen spoke]

GcAudioWwiseEvents btw

[solid void]

Hello all, new player here. I was told there is a mod to stop the game from pausing when you Alt+Tab out?

[frozen spoke]

A lot of the full music tracks are prefixed by "MUS", and I believe most of the soundscape instrument samples are prefixed by "PLAY"

[vale iron]

Did you search pause or tab on Nexus mods? I think there's one recent, but not sure if it's 6.0 compatibile

I think it would probably be EXML and work with 6.0x

[solid void]

I have not. What is EXML.

[vale iron]

Two kinds of mods since January 2025: EXML or MBIN. EXML are smaller, patch mods that only change what they want. MBIN are full replacements of the file (much worse). If it's EXML, it likely still works. If it's MBIN, it's likely broken

[solid void]

Ah gotchyah, many thanks. I'll take a look on Nexus

[vale iron]

You can preview file contents to see what kind. Hopefully the mod has a clear indicator in the description of what kind it is

[glass monolith]

how to " re-run the old expeditions, but it requires use of external tools or mods. " , really hope to find a mod that only allow that without the headache of going steam offline etc

[fallow meadow]

Let me have a look and provide some further details

[glass monolith]

Thanks so much man

[fallow meadow]

@glass monolith Are you wanting to actually replay the expeditions, or just after the rewards?

[vale iron]

^ not a man, but one of the most knowledgeable around

"but" was incorrect usage

implies that it's unexpected

I don't think there's any way to play them other than cwm's method. You can unlock rewards with mods or save editing

[glass monolith]

how to unlock rewards with mods

[glass monolith]

I'm after the reward
