nms-modding

[kind cipher]

i think so

cause of cross saves

[vale plover]

Hi, i think i made a mistake, the game diseabled my mod, but i don't know how to enable it again

i got a message about a .exml but i can't find it in the game files

[fresh arch]

find mod settings MXML file in game's installation directory and remove it

Game will recreate it and enable loading all mods

[kind cipher]

for anyone using mods, do i put the mods folder in gamedata or gamedata\pcbanks?

[vale plover]

but where it is? i've look around a bit but i haven't seen it

[final hazel]

Put them in GAMEDATA/MODS
Refer to the 5.50 document for any further assistance, it's fully up to date #nms-modding message

[kind cipher]

thanks

[fresh arch]

No Man's Sky/Binaries/SETTINGS/GCMODSETTINGS.MXML

[kind cipher]

is there a mod that gives me all customization? like helmets and stuff

[hearty wasp]

yeah Getting Head

well it lets you equip them on any race

[kind cipher]

not just helmets i mean

[hearty wasp]

you can unlock em in a save editor

[kind cipher]

i cant find where

[hearty wasp]

they are there

[vale plover]

oh it's here, thank you

[hearty wasp]

if you wanna buy em in game you can get Consumerism

[kind cipher]

where

all?

even the quest ones

[hearty wasp]

I don't remember all of them

[fresh arch]

just get a save editor

[kind cipher]

i cant find where to get them with a save editor

ive tried 2

[fresh arch]

There's bunch of cosmetics, different acquisition methods / sources

Expeditions, QS shop, Autophage race, in-game challenges

[fallow meadow]

Make sure to first check the account tab to unlock all 'special' rewards, claim them at the QS shop. Then see what else is missing to unlock on the save itself

[fresh arch]

Let the pinned message fall upon you: #nms-modding message

[zinc bough]

Anyone know of any mods that still work that effect plant growth speed?

[fresh arch]

this one should work https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3225

[zinc bough]

If it doesn't work I wonder how difficult it would be to make a mod that does

[final hazel]

It should work, it was last updated after Voyagers released

If it doesn't, there's no need to start from scratch or anything

The author can just fix whatever problem is occurring through the power of a dozen headaches

[fresh arch]

real

[kind cipher]

whats a safe amount to mod my ship stats to

too much breaks it

[final hazel]

The limits put in place by the game normally https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Starship

[kind cipher]

i set my ship stats to 600 and now my ship bounces back when i try to enter planets lol

[fresh arch]

try dialing down the manuev... agility

[final hazel]

There aren't any ships that go above a 50% maneuverability bonus, probably for a good reason

Other things matter a lot less, but could possibly still have some side effects

[hidden rapids]

How do I unlock the blueprints in Exosolar's and Babs' Beyond Base Building mod?

[hearty wasp]

what blueprints

it doesn't add any new objects

[hidden rapids]

The blueprints to build the stuff in the mod

[hearty wasp]

you mean the vanilla stuff?

[hidden rapids]

No

[hearty wasp]

you get it the vanilla way

[hidden rapids]

I have all of that

[hearty wasp]

yeah

then you have all of it

BBB doesn't add new objects

[hidden rapids]

But it gives access to objects you couldn't previously use right

[hearty wasp]

yeah

you get access when you install the mod

[hidden rapids]

I only see Corvette parts when I go into build mode

And freighter stuff

Did I not install it right? I put it in my mods folder

[hearty wasp]

it's possible

[hidden rapids]

It says "This does NOT mean the mod gives you access to all buildable parts. You still need to learn the blueprints for each. :)"

[hearty wasp]

yeah the vanilla way

post MODS folder like this

include the highlighted details

[hidden rapids]

I'm not at my PC rn

[hearty wasp]

then do it when you're there dw

[hidden rapids]

So that only applies to the vanilla stuff? Or do I need to get the blueprints for the stuff they added

[hearty wasp]

people will help you then

[hearty wasp]

it doesn't add any new things

[hidden rapids]

I know

I meant the stuff it adds access to

[hearty wasp]

I don't follow

do you have access to those things without the MOD when you're at where they show up in vanilla?

[hidden rapids]

No

[hearty wasp]

if you get freighter parts on a freighter base you will have them

if you do not then you need to unlock them the vanilla way

[hidden rapids]

But what about the stuff the mod adds access too?

[hearty wasp]

it removes building restrictions, not unlock things for you

[hidden rapids]

It unlocks things too

[hearty wasp]

can you give an example of a thing that is not available in vanilla?

[final hazel]

The mod does not unlock any base parts for you, it just enables them to be placed in base types that they're normally unavailable in. That still requires you have the blueprints for those parts

[hearty wasp]

yeah can you give an example of what it unlocks

and can you quote from the mod page where it states that

[hidden rapids]

It says it allows for more than 1000 buildable base items

I thought it was similar to Eucli-ea - More buildable base decorations and structures

[hidden rapids]

Oh

[hearty wasp]

this is a statement about the game

[hidden rapids]

So the mod I'm looking for is Eucli-ea - More buildable base decorations and structures?

Can other players see the things I build with that mod

[hearty wasp]

Eucli-ea, UBB, and KnB all add new objects

[final hazel]

That is the main one I know of that adds fully new base parts and decorations

[hearty wasp]

if they have the mod yeah

[fallen sparrow]

how do i get save editor

[hidden rapids]

But if they don't, they can't see it?

[hearty wasp]

#nms-modding message

[hidden rapids]

But aren't they just adding stuff that's already in the game

[hearty wasp]

yeah that's how custom objects work

[hearty wasp]

no

[hidden rapids]

It's not custom objects tho

It's just structures and stuff already in the game

[hearty wasp]

on the surface

the underlying code that makes them base objects are all completely custom because they don't exist in vanilla

[cold sequoia]

How long could it take to make An Infinite item stack mod and is it hard todo ?

[hearty wasp]

there should be a few mods on Nexus that have luas

if those are made semi-recently they could still work

making from scratch is a fool's errand honestly lol

[cold sequoia]

Theres one but i think it was not helping because I was crashing when trying to land on planet so I needed to remove and uninstall full game and reinstall again and ive not crashed again

[cold sequoia]

Why ?

[hidden rapids]

Huhhh

[unborn thunder]

would it be possible to make a mod altering the NMS localization file(s)?

[hidden rapids]

So sad

I wish nms added more decor

[cold sequoia]

Same here

And structures

[hearty wasp]

no point in making something that already exists unless you just want the sense of pride and accomplishment

[cold sequoia]

Specially the ine that are in mods and tbh they actually get imprints from in game any ways so why not allow us to have them also to build with

[hearty wasp]

won't be very difficult

[hidden rapids]

Fellow rogue

[unborn thunder]

I'ts something I'd like to do

I have to first understand the intro and basics of NMS modding, however

[hearty wasp]

LocTable.MXML allows you to modify all languages in one file

[cold sequoia]

I know and option 2 lol

[unborn thunder]

I see I see

[hearty wasp]

it's just an xml file with a very long but shallow table

well depending on how much you edit ig

Lo2k or someone else has a tool for custom translation too

I dunno if it still works

should

[fresh arch]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2756

[unborn thunder]

and how would I have it override base localization? just naming the file the same as the base localization file?

[fresh arch]

example of changing language files (english only though)

no need to overwrite

[cold sequoia]

It be nice to own my own m8d and update it my self and not rely waiting for others lol

[fresh arch]

HG gave us a better way

[hearty wasp]

you assign it to your desired language type in the table

[unborn thunder]

gracias

[fresh arch]

Another example: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3401

[unborn thunder]

Thanks, you both!

[hearty wasp]

yeah but luas basically do that for you as well

as long as those luas work ig

[cold sequoia]

I see

Well am sure Lua will defo work

[fresh arch]

depending on what you actually want to do

It might be possible to do as an EXML patch mod, those are update-resistant as well

Doesn't mean fully update proof though

[cold sequoia]

Its exml

I had message the Author saying I think the mod needs updating but no response as of yet

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3488

[fresh arch]

ah yes, the infinite stack size mod

Hope you got a beefy enough computer to handle infinite amounts of data

[cold sequoia]

Maybe why is crashed trying land on planets is that it maybe not with with corvette storage

[cold sequoia]

No just handheld Rog Ally

[fresh arch]

... that was sarcasm

There's no such thing as infinite

[cold sequoia]

Lmfao

Am not good understanding sarcasm at times am slow lol

Should be called increase items amount stored lol

[hearty wasp]

Yeah unfortunately marketing is a thing

[fresh arch]

says the person responsible for Consumerism

[hearty wasp]

I can't even refute that

[sullen ridge]

ähm which mod ulock all expedition rewards from now and the past?

[cold sequoia]

Lmfao

[final hazel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2062 allows you to purchase all expedition rewards with quicksilver. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3420 is a bonus mod for that mod that makes all of those free

holy fucking Shigeru Miyamoto

[cold sequoia]

What

[cold sequoia]

Lol

Lmfao

[sullen ridge]

what do i also need to install mods?

[final hazel]

Those two mods would be all of the mods needed to claim all expedition rewards for free in-game

[cold sequoia]

MODS folder for 1

[final hazel]

#nms-modding message describes how to install mods

[cold sequoia]

Its really simple as eating cake lol

But if you wanted to mod on 360 with mod menu its not as easy but once you get hang of it you remember what todo

So NMS is the easiest game to mod

[solid hawk]

No it doesn't

It says

[hearty wasp]

That's my line

Actually that's yours because you wrote it but I quoted that first

[solid hawk]

Sorry, was skimming.

[sullen ridge]

why you have to replace ships and staffs and not add them?

and is the esxpedition staff better?

[final hazel]

Because that's how the menu works for some reason, a vanilla game issue I believe

[final hazel]

It's the same as any other staff functionally, besides having the Runic Lens for the Atlas Sceptre

[sullen ridge]

so i can use it for mining

[final hazel]

You can use any Multi-Tool for mining

[sullen ridge]

i know

next step is good X upgrade rools

[final hazel]

Just that you could install the regular Mining Beam alongside the Runic Lens and mine a little faster

[cold sequoia]

Infinite item stack does not have Lua file with it

Would yous actually think it's broken since the corvette update came out and it's EXML

[fresh arch]

have you like actually tried installing and playing with it

[cold sequoia]

I used to have it installed but I removed all mods was crashing when about to land on planets Infinite was my last mod on ive just redownloaded it going to try again

@solid hawk Hi Sir will you be updating the freighter mods again at all

[solid hawk]

Need more specificity please. 🙂 A lot of mods

[haughty scarab]

does anyone know of a mod that will let me place terrain in mid air?

[hearty wasp]

what do you mean by terrain

like with the manipulator?

[haughty scarab]

yes

im trying to build a floating island on a ocean planet but the ocean below me is at -1400U and i have nothing to manipulate off of

i've been looking trough nexus mods but haven't found anything like it yet

also trying to keep my base uploadable :p

[final hazel]

That may not be possible, the terrain area you can add to only goes so far above the existing terrain

And mods can't add new functionality like that

[haughty scarab]

its still sub-mountain level

[final hazel]

Yes, but the voxel grid follows the terrain below it

If you can't build up from the bottom of the ocean to up there, mods won't magically extend the terrain height limit

[fair belfry]

Hiiiiiiii, so uh... I kinda started a new save for an expedition, and didn't know you could take some things from an expedition into your main save if you used it, so now I've built an insanely cool corvette and realized I'm gonna lose it... Is there a way I could move it to my main save?

[final hazel]

May be best to use base parts to mimic a floating island, like rocks etc

[haughty scarab]

i haven't tried it yet, but its more of a thing where it would take such a incredible amount of time to do it

[final hazel]

You should keep the corvette if you started the expedition from the "new save" menu

[haughty scarab]

terrain genning up 1.4k units isn't quick hting

[final hazel]

What I'm saying is that the game will stop you within about 100u off of the bottom

[final hazel]

With this expedition, you can't transfer the corvette to the existing save you start it from due to an override even

but if you started it from the "new save" menu, it should convert to a normal mode save upon completion

[fair belfry]

Oh I mean, I know I won't LOSE it because I can turn the save into a normal file, but I was planning on having one main save file to play on, and I know you can't move things from a fresh expedition into another save

[fair belfry]

huh

wdym

[final hazel]

This expedition specifically disallows transfer of starships to and from the expedition save

which is the first time that this override has been used

[fair belfry]

Whaaaaaaa

Why can't you move FROM the expedition to another save??

That's bull

[frigid grove]

You'd have to save edit if you want to move it to another save, but I'm not sure if the save editors have that capability? It's just be copying a chunk of json from one file to another.

[fair belfry]

Either way I started a new save for it so I wouldn't be able to transfer anything

[final hazel]

Your best bet would be to recreate it manually using many screenshots, or save editing it into your main save and also transferring the corvette base data over, linking to the correct starship slot

[fair belfry]

So yeah I came here to look for other options

Hm

[haughty scarab]

so from -1.4k i would only be able to go up to -1.3k?

[fair belfry]

I have no idea how save editing works but that seems to be my only option

[frigid grove]

Make backups before trying

[final hazel]

Probably, it doesn't matter how deep it is, you can only create terrain so far above the regular mesh of ground

[fair belfry]

I can't memorize all the pieces I used for it 🥀

[final hazel]

If on PC, you could save edit it onto a different save

[fair belfry]

Yep

[final hazel]

though the process is weird like I described

[fair belfry]

Is there a guide for save editing?

[final hazel]

Not really for the save editors themselves since they're a bit straight forward, but there has been a guide made on how to copy a corvette design from one save to another using a save editor #nms-modding message

As always make backups, though both save editors make backups for you to restore to I believe

[fair belfry]

good lord

[haughty scarab]

still gonna hope its gonna consider the sea level as the mesh

and that someone coughs up a mod at some point with the ability to freely manipulate train

[final hazel]

From my knowledge it does not, it considers the sea floor and existing terrain shapes the mesh

[solid hawk]

Not possible

HG would need to add that, mods can't

[cold sequoia]

The freighter ones o tested for you like more expeditions and fast frigate repairs

Please let Eucli Author know when I enter freighter missions page I instantly crash and I took that mod out and no longer crash

[solid hawk]

Don't think they need to be updated. Seem to be working fine

With the new EXML system, much rarer for mods to break from updates. Does still happen, but not every mod, every update.

[solid hawk]

He updated EUCLI today, not long ago.

[quasi dust]

any time from just leaving area in roamer, to leaving entire system and returning

[tidal hull]

how does modding work for a game thats updated so frequently

do older mods work ?

[unborn thunder]

where exactly are the localization files within NMS at?

like, i've seen from other mods how to change in-game text for items and things, but where exactly do I look to find said items in base-game files?

[steel crypt]

They're all in the language folder

[unborn thunder]

so i've heard, but i don't see any language folder, unless im in the wrong directory, of course

[steel crypt]

You need to unpak the game to see it.

[unborn thunder]

okay, i think i've been doing that, but maybe i stopped it a little too early

[frigid grove]

I have a note that says it's in NMSARC.MetadataEtc.pak - old note though

[unborn thunder]

that was it, ty

[amber mauve]

Is anyone aware of a mod that moves the teleport point for corvettes on Freighters to a more convenient location? I wish it were near the teleporter to the bridge.

[solid hawk]

The mods then need to be updated. No mod updated prior to 29 Jan 2025 will worl, for certain due to modding changes in the game.

[solid hawk]

I saw in release notes for experimental branch that HG has moved it. A lot of stuff, no point in modding new things this early in the update cycle because HG will change them. Nothing worse for a mod author than pouring hours into researching and implementing a mod, only to have HG "fix" it and make the mod obsolete within days.

Oh nm, was the bridge teleporter

They could still move it though. Put in a zendesk report to HG

[lime mesa]

1. How i mod this game
2. Is it hard to mod
3. Are there any character mods?
4. no idea what to ask more

[sly hemlock]

How do i mod lol I looked up some tutorials, and I did everything that it said, but it didn't work

[sly hemlock]

From what I've seen, it's literally not hard at all

[lime mesa]

will the mods still work if the devs issue patches or something?

[sly hemlock]

I dunno lol

[hearty wasp]

1. #nms-modding message Installation section
2. depends on how good you are at extracting zip files and moving folders
3. elaborate
4. ok

[hearty wasp]

didn't work how

[hearty wasp]

depends

[sly hemlock]

the mod didn't load

[hearty wasp]

did you see mod warning screen

[sly hemlock]

I made sure to extract it, I went into the folder and made disable all mods to false

Nope

[hearty wasp]

post your MODS folder like this

[sly hemlock]

Ok one sec

[hearty wasp]

wrong folder, read #nms-modding message again

[solid hawk]

GAMEDATA\MODS, NOT GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\MODS

[sly hemlock]

mmmm that would explain it lol

[solid hawk]

Video tutorials? Don't ever use those for NMS unless less than a month old.

[sly hemlock]

understood lol

yes

[solid hawk]

They quickly become outdated and useless

[sly hemlock]

im assuming the devs added mod support but changed it

[solid hawk]

Been mod support, but officially outdated, since 2016

System got overhauled in Janusary 2025

[sly hemlock]

I find it very interesting how this game works like it's single player, but multiplayer at the same time, and it's just confusing

hey it worked thanks

[solid hawk]

So, while seeking mods, anything update last , before 29 January 2025, is 100% unuseable.

[sly hemlock]

Well, I'm literally only installing the one mod because I like everything about this game without mods lol

except the settlement, stuff waiting an hour between each upgrade is abysmal

[solid hawk]

With the above being said, looking at most endorsed or most updated metrics will provide you with many dead mods. Best metric to use is sort my last updated

When vanilla starts to become boring, and it will, that's when you should use mods. Basically how you're doing it is the right way. Play vanilla first, then mod later.

At least to my thinking. If you don't play vanilla for awhile, how the heck do you know what you'd like to see changes with mods?

People who jump right into using mods from the beginning are missing out.

[sly hemlock]

yeah, that's pretty much my plan honestly

I played this game a lot many years ago, so I know pretty much all of what it has to offer, but I'm still pretty mid game

[solid hawk]

Same ones who come here and ask "What mods should I use"

[sly hemlock]

Lmao

[solid hawk]

"Well, Mr. Lemming, I've a cliff to show you too."

People play NMS is different ways from each other, so mod selection is highly subjective. 🙂

[sly hemlock]

I do wonder, are there any mods that fix tons of bugs?

[solid hawk]

Those of us who make the mods, our biggest inspiration is "what annoys me about the game today". 🤪

[solid hawk]

Bug fix mods are rare.

1. Most bugs we can't fix. Modders only have access to the game data files. No low level API, no changing the engine, no source code.

2. Not much worse than pouring hours into researching and producing a mod and having it killed by an HelloGames hotfix patch two days later to fix said bug(s).

[sly hemlock]

That's a shame because I'm having an issue where when I upgrade my settlement buildings the construction stuff stays

[solid hawk]

I had one of those a couple of versions ago, but I did dutifully report the problem to HG when I made the bug fix mod.

[lime mesa]

are there any weapon and boost mods?

[solid hawk]

Mod lives for three days, for its' intended purpose, before HG patched the issue. haha

[solid hawk]

Yes, search on NexusMods

Look by category, most likely in weapons or cheats

[hearty wasp]

What kind of boost

[lime mesa]

dont i need an account and premium for nexux mods?

[hearty wasp]

Just an account

[solid hawk]

You need an account to download, yes. Not premium

NexusMods is the only source for NMS mods

why tf save editor not letting me dupe vesper sails

doesnt even work when loading a backup save where multiple were already successfully installed

[final hazel]

Maybe they made ships validate the tech they have, due to corvettes and how their tech works

[sullen ridge]

Until which Expedition IS IT valid and do i need to complete the current Expedition or are the rewards already in?

[unborn thunder]

Cheers @fresh arch

[fresh arch]

revised the list of Corvette parts for my ship parts catalogue mod, this time paid attention not to include non-available parts

[vale iron]

Vesper sails have always deleted on save load on non-sail ships

[sinful dagger]

i mean on a Corvette it worked until it suddenly didn't

mid testing it just broke

[crystal wraith]

?

[fresh arch]

New mod released: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3733

[cold sequoia]

I kniw but it is causing it to crash when I enter expedition freighter page ive done the test by removing that mod

[weak oriole]

Quick question. How do i need to save these changes made in the editor mod? Cause i gave myself for a test 1000000 quicksilver so i can quick check but idk how to save the doc because both buttons to save the file didnt change anything. Do i need to import it somewhere or smt?

[lime mesa]

Anyone has any mod recommendations which make space darker but also not always totally black? I generally like the darker space colors of the game, but not everything has to be black all the time, dark red, violet, green etc. are fine and even pretty sometimes

[steep stag]

hello. i havent played the game for months and all my mods dont work anymore. (i accedentally deleted all of them) which mod file type should i download?

the last updated is the top one...

so is the top one correct?

[rough stratus]

Probably. I would just see if it works personally, it would've been faster to try it and test it I think than to ask, unless you're doing a fresh save with them

But I'm also admittedly not super knowledgeable with mods for NMS, so maybe there are mod file types that matter

[steep stag]

i had many mods and i dont want something to break

like i had an item stack mod

and i dont want my items to be reduced from 999999 to 9999 for example

nvm. turns out its th exml

[lime mesa]

If this still works as of Voyagers please hit me up, I‘m really tired of awfully bright space colors ruining systems for me, but I also don‘t want everything to be totally black

[cold sequoia]

@solid hawk

[hearty wasp]

The mod doesn't touch anything related to this so there is no way it can interfere. Very likely a game issue

But when in doubt, yeet GCMODSETTINGS

[quasi dust]

ye i had this message with crashes recently, but my crashes were clearly being caused by a VRAM issue. ignore the message

[hearty wasp]

Honestly I've been receiving a couple singular reports of "issues" that no one else can replicate

I think the game may just be having trouble loading so much more shit

[quasi dust]

ye since voyager update, i had many crashes from VRAM,when in the past my graphical settinsg were the same as now, and never had issues at all.

[hearty wasp]

Which is weird because you'd've thought all the optimisations would've actually decreased VRAM usage

But that's why I'm not a programmer

Winter update is coming

[fresh arch]

... if no mods were involved then why do you post it here in modding channel?

[quasi dust]

nms update coming now?

[hearty wasp]

just a prediction seeing how fucked the current state of affairs is

[quasi dust]

oh yeah we are already 3 deep

no.4 should come soon

unfortunatley they always seem to list corvette related fixes only

[hearty wasp]

3 publics deep

[solid hawk]

The majority are going to be focused on the new content

[cold sequoia]

Well until it's sorted i will not be using tge mid ive nit been crashing now and been playing for little while now

[hearty wasp]

Cool

I think at this point it's just having mods in general that's causing stuff like this to happen

And you're just unlucky in that you still play the frigate expeditions lol

[vale iron]

I think we'll get another experimental update before 6.04

some weird bugs

[sharp flame]

How does mod synchronisation work exactly ? I mean for example, if you play with a mod removing corvette limits, how the NMS server "sees" you ?

[hearty wasp]

#nms-modding message

and seeing from the various screenshots, the limit doesn't seem to be an issue

[vale iron]

Multiplayer is not handled by a server, other than matchmaking. The sessions are player to player with one computer serving as host and other players clients. So they will see you however their local files say to see you.

[marsh eagle]

It's not direct P2P but close. There is a azure relay server inbetween to protect from ip leakage etc

[crystal gazelle]

If I download mods can I still play multiplayer?

[marsh eagle]

Yes no problem

[cold sequoia]

Yes

[crystal gazelle]

Alr ty

[marsh eagle]

HG semi officially supports modding or at least made it actively easier for modders and mod users with certain patches in the past

[runic kayak]

how do terrain generation mods interact with multiplayer?

and how do they interact with existing planets that have been generated

There is no "pre" existing or generated planet. They get procedurally generated and calculated by your pc live while you play.
That means if you use generation mods, only you will see the changes.
You might be standing on a mountain but for other players you will stand mid air if the original generation decides for flat land there

[runic kayak]

so it would probably mess up playing with my friends unless they also downloaded them

[marsh eagle]

Right. I never use generation mods because if you build a base and the mod breaks, your base might be stuck in the ground if you return to original generation

[hearty wasp]

#nms-modding message

read the line with the word "terrain" in it

[runic kayak]

[solid hawk]

Lots of crash bugs in vanilla right now, some but not all caused by the VRAM leak. So will crash at random times when the VRAM usage is filled up

[lime mesa]

don't suppose there's any mods to completely disable all steam popup elements in VR?

[fresh arch]

Mods can't affect stuff outside of the game

[cobalt condor]

enable 'do not disturb' in your steamvr settings

[lime mesa]

should be able to effect the game calling them up in the first place/

[hearty wasp]

you'd think so

but no

[lime mesa]

don't think there's such a setting/

[lime mesa]

frig. need to stop the game calling up virtual keyboards

well thanks anyways for the straightforward answers

[wispy ridge]

Hi there ! I've just heard about something called the "NMS service bot", which would allow me to obtain some specific things that are not available anymore. However... it's not free. And I really would rather have a free alternative. Does it exists ?

[fresh arch]

Most of service bot functionality is free, only the advanced features are behind a subscription

As for alternatives, depending on the platform, you could use mods or save editors

But still there are some features only service bot has to offer

[wispy ridge]

I just wanted the Normandy, but it required to be a Patreon for this 🙁

[hearty wasp]

if you're not on PC then no

[fresh arch]

no it doesn't

old expedition rewards can be obtained with free uses

Go to this server, check the video guides channel

[wispy ridge]

Oh thanks !

[fresh arch]

I believe there even is a video specifically for Normandy

[wispy ridge]

I'll check it out 😉 Hope that'll work

Seems like it's not free to use anymore :/

[marsh eagle]

Just use a save editor or unlocker mod.
Bot is cuurently overloaded and cant handle more requests so it limits itself to free users or it would become completely unuseable. Further questions on its discord, here is no support for this app

[graceful fiber]

would any experienced modders be willing to test something for me ?

[hearty wasp]

Depends

You should always open with what you're working on so people would know what you're asking for straight away

[graceful fiber]

ah thats fair , im trying to setup the code needed to make base landing pads allow for corvettes

i just dont know how to fw the compiler or anything

what ive got so far

[hearty wasp]

Where did you get the first snippet?

[graceful fiber]

basebuildingtable.exml

[hearty wasp]

That is not used anymore

[graceful fiber]

ah , see this is why i ask :p

[hearty wasp]

I don't even know if that file exists in current version

Did you unpack your own game files?

[graceful fiber]

not yet no

[paper snow]

hi folks, im new to this game. is there a mod to unlock all apperances at the body changer?

[graceful fiber]

honestly would prefer not too lol

thats why im asking if an experienced modder would test it

[hearty wasp]

I don't need to test it to see it won't work

The data structure in it doesn't exist in the game files

[graceful fiber]

we cant just add the new ship class to the landing pad table and resize its limit?

[hearty wasp]

Not sure about the second pic but the first pic contains hallucinated data structure

[graceful fiber]

gotcha , the second pic is for resizing the pads limit

[hearty wasp]

If you wanna see how that section is structured you can see it in the compiler github https://github.com/monkeyman192/MBINCompiler/blob/development/libMBIN/Source/NMS/GameComponents/GcBaseBuildingPart.cs

And ShipClassLandingData doesn't return any result in the github

So I'm guessing it doesn't exist

[graceful fiber]

there has to be a location where the limit and whats allowed on those pads exist tho 🤔

[hearty wasp]

I'm gonna assume these are AI hallucinations

[graceful fiber]

yeah just let that go lets move on from that lol

[hearty wasp]

I meam there's not really anything to test tho ar this point

If you actually want to make a mod I'd recommend getting your game files unpacked

There's instructions here #nms-modding message

[graceful fiber]

probably wont matter if i cant find the string i need to edit in this github link

im lookin but

[hearty wasp]

The compiler github contains the template for the data structures

Not the data themselves

[graceful fiber]

gotcha

[hearty wasp]

The data are in the game files

Anyway if you want to dive into it you can also ask in the modding discord

is there a mod to unlock corvette size and part limits?

[visual pivot]

do they show up correctly n multiplayer too?

[final hazel]

They should, I believe so

[visual pivot]

cool thx!

aare there also mods for using more of the regular base parts on corvettes?

[final hazel]

Yes, https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1096

[green flume]

How do I use the save editor to give myself companion eggs, that actually let me hatch them

[visual pivot]

and that also works in mp?

[final hazel]

Yes, all base building mods work in multiplayer as long as they don't add any parts that don't exist outside of vanilla, which neither of these do not

[visual pivot]

great!

[final hazel]

Usually by laying companion eggs in-game, saving, then replacing their data with desired companion data, or just editing them into your companion registry to skip all of that

[green flume]

where can i find data for certain pets

[final hazel]

The creative hub may be a better place to look for those, they also give out files to import the companions with the save editor's UI too which may be way simpler

[molten gust]

the generic question, how do I download mods? I know where to download them from but I have no clue on how to install them into nms

[rough stratus]

It's almost always explained in each mod's page, but you usually put them in <game directory>/GAMEDATA/MODS, after extracting them that is

[molten gust]

I'll check to see if it's working again

[rough stratus]

For example, this is what mine looks like

[final hazel]

We have a link to a guide going over installing and troubleshooting mods in the pins too #nms-modding message (first link)

[molten gust]

should it be looking like this

I have the mod file in the "mods" folder I made

[molten gust]

oh wait theres a mod manager

nevermind

🤦‍♂️

the way they explain this shit is not clear enough'

ok now it should be working

[molten gust]

and nope, trying again

[neon creek]

hey, just started playing the game with a friend. we cannot progress together or share the same base and that is annoying. is there a way to bypass this (mods)?

[molten gust]

now it works 😭

[sinful dagger]

cant seem to edit the maneuvrability stat of my corvette

any ideas?

[native frost]

was wondering if there was a way to mod the options (mainly for controls) and the UI for main game to be moved for individuals with 3 screens? JUst asking, since I wasn't able to find any mods on nexus that did that, so I assume there is no way to do it. If it is possible, I might look into making a mod to do so.

I think one of the new terms for a UI managment is "Safe space"

[quasi dust]

to my understanding , and as described - "To resolve conflicts between No Man's Sky mods that alter the same game files (referred to as "tables"), you must use a mod merging tool like AMUMSS"

but im using 3 seperate mods that alter REWARDTABLE and i didnt do the above

and all the features of those mods work in harmony. what am i missing?

is it just that im getting lucky here and different lines of each LUA are not conflicting?

therefore in this case, there infact are no conflicts as the three mods dont overlap in what they change within the REWARDTABLE file

is this correct?

[nocturne tundra]

if i mod my game will multiplayer disable

[vale iron]

Where did you read that?

[vale iron]

EXML mods can coexist without merging in almost all cases

MBINs need to be merged

[quasi dust]

ah ok this is what threw me off

[quasi dust]

simply reading articles on reddit etc

seemed agreed on

generally till this point i just kept a small mod list avoiding potential conflicts, but this is good to know

[lone totem]

Hello guys! Anyone have an idea as to how one could feasably reset the current ship's entity like it does when one warps into another system?

I'm trying to find a workaround for the solar ship's animation lockup bug.

[solid hawk]

Report the bug via zendesk. The more who report, more likely it'll get fixed. !hg

[quasi dust]

almost all cases - so if both mods alter the exact same line with a different value, theres issue? and which mod is selected to win out?

[solid hawk]

There's no issue, one will supercede the other.

[lone totem]

Already did. Furthermore, the more I look up this issue, the more it seems that it's not even on the radar, no matter who complains about it... sooo, I guess this issue will need a quick and dirty fix, instead of a clean and official one.

[spice crest]

So I did download the mod that allows all base build on the Corvies. But the landing pad is the only thing that really doesnt work. You can build it on a Corvette and land your ship on it, but as soon the Corvie moves the ship parked stays afloat on the same spot and stays behind. Any idea if there's any way around this?

[solid hawk]

There's no fix to that very rare circumstance

[quasi dust]

ok, i dont see any load order system. so each time a random one supercedes the other or is it based on folder name etc?

[solid hawk]

precedence

[compact stratus]

you can't add features to the game. So no

[solid hawk]

D:\Steam\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\Binaries\SETTINGS\GCMODSETTINGS.MXML

[solid hawk]

Nope

Decorative only

[fair belfry]

Oh? I was thinking of downloading "Exosolar's and Babs' Beyond Base Building" because it doesn't affect other players yet still lets them see what I build, plus it allows for more freedom AND increases the build limit, but I was also pretty interested in adding a functional pad to the corvette

Does that not work with this mod?

Also would I be capable of having an exocraft stay on top of the ship?

[final hazel]

It doesn't work in the vanilla game, and mods can't magically make that work

[fair belfry]

I kinda wanna make a corvette that lets me drop from the sky with a Minotaur >:)

[fair belfry]

I see I see, noted

[final hazel]

Landed ships cannot be linked to moving objects

[fair belfry]

What about this?

[final hazel]

The exocraft would remain where it is while the corvette flies away most likely

[fair belfry]

:(

[solid hawk]

try it, see, and let us know

Whatever happend to the thrill of discovery? Now it's all tell me everything beforehand.

[fair belfry]

true........

[solid hawk]

I'm the author of Beyond Base Building btw.

Before corvettes, something like 1400 base building objects in the game. If I were to test them all, would take MONTHS for any feature adds to happen. Rely upon the several thousand strong user base to find and report issues on the mod page, then I fix them, if possible within the limits of the mod and of NMS modding.

[vale iron]

In the past few months? Because everything changed drastically at the beginning of the year

[vale iron]

How do you know it's not on the radar? HG doesn't talk to anyone

[vale iron]

The modsettings file has load order. Otherwise, it's basically whichever mod is higher in windows explorer wins for that specific change

[lone totem]

Well, if it is, it's bound to be somewhere deep at the bottom of the list, since this is an extremely long-standing thing. Call it an educated guess, but I just can't imagine them not having heard of it.

Though I'm still trying to wrap my head around what it could be, since I can see people using the solar ships and they rarely get this issue.

I can even imagine something ridiculous like not having enough VRAM making the game throw out some animation data on the fly, because it is lower priority than other stuff, thus breaking the animation, because it just skips it.

[vale iron]

What you see on other players isn't what they see

Animations and their triggers don't sync well in multiplayer

[lone totem]

In streams and videos.

[vale iron]

Ah, o

ok

[lone totem]

I even read through what little I could scrape together from reddit. There was this one thread where someone was complaining how the landing gear animation was stuck and something like that never even happened to him so far.

Like, it's apparently rare, but I can consistently make it happen.

[vale iron]

When does it happen for you?

It might be new

[lone totem]

It's something I've noticed a year or two ago, so "new" is a bit exaggerrated

[vale iron]

Animation trigger bugs are common, but often they can fix one and then bring it back with somethign else

[lone totem]

When I land somewhere, anywhere really, and run around for a bit, doing stuff, the ship kind of forgets to do the animations when taking off.

As in landing gears don't retract. Solars are most affected, because they have three states.

If I quickly land and take off again, it USUALLY doesn't break... right away at least.

[vale iron]

Very odd. It sounds maybe like the ship is unloading when you leave, then loading back in when you come back, and that might be causing something?

I'm purely guessing though

[lone totem]

That was my last thought about it too, yeah. I have a 1070ti, and VRAM is 8GB. Task manager is reporting that the VRAM is constantly full while playing NMS

In fact, I could probably test that by lowering the texture quality. Standby

[vale iron]

I played on a 1060 mobile for a long time, still do a tiny bit. Yeah, it would max out that memory, though there does seem to be some sort of VRAM leak currently

[lone totem]

What I do know is that reloading the ship in any way fixes it(resets it)

Ok, wow this was super weird. It MIGHT just have to do with what we're talking about.

I took off from a planet and the solar sails unfurled first, then the wings extended. It never did THAT before!

[vale iron]

So maybe something performance related, though that is still odd

[lone totem]

Nope, still breaks.

Just broke it with my freighter, where it damn near always breaks.

[vale iron]

But it was slightly better? Maybe turn down as much as you can and see

[lone totem]

That's what I'll do, though I fail to see the point by now, a try won't hurt.

Nope, I can even break it MORE consistently now, lmao

Lowest settings, VRAM is 3.5/8GB

[vale iron]

Alright, that's settled then

[lone totem]

What I was thinking was some kind of small fix, a mod, where the current ship is forced to reset when piloted... It might just work

[vale iron]

Except we have no function to reset models

[lone totem]

Isn't there something the warp process uses? One can even see how the model blurs for a second and then it's "reset"

[vale iron]

It has some model affects, in the EXE related to how to display the model in that scene, not in a way that can be used in the MBINs nor in an on-call situation in other settings

[lone totem]

Hm. Shit.

[quasi dust]

yeah i just remembered the restructuring

[solid hawk]

With NMS, we've no access to real code. Just static game data files

[steel crypt]

There are ways to "reset" a ship when you enter it, but I wouldn't do that. You would be also resetting the physics and bounding boxes, which will cause you all sorts of issues depending on the context in-game.
It's possible, not new modder friendly, and will cause way more issues than you solve.

[sly current]

Just curious, but has anyone here been using the Better Rewards mod for 6.00+ NMS version? If so how has it been working for you?

Just trying to get feedback, the author seems to be MIA.

I’m just having trouble getting my ship gold and white I tired mods and save edit and your plug in is there no way to get it gold and white or am I using it wrong?

[fresh arch]

what kinda ship

If it's one of the basic types you can just assemble a similar one using the space station fabricators

And select the metallic texture there and assign yellowish colour to it

[fallen sparrow]

It’s a solar ship

[hot ember]

alt-tabbing being out of menus doesn't make the game crash anymore?

[lone totem]

Damn.

[glass monolith]

is there a mod to unpin any log ?

especially primary missions

[fresh arch]

nope, you'd need to remove those missions from your save data

which is highly not recommended because HG uses that data to determine you have done specific things in the game

To unlock new content, like purple stars mission

[glass monolith]

Thank you

what's annoying is the popup that keep showing on right down side of the game

[blissful escarp]

Hey guys are there any modded save files to put you back on track? On my PS4 I pretty much had everything but ever since I switched to steam I’ve lost that save files

through proton i assume?

if i mod the game will i end up in normal multiplayer lobbies, even with mods?

so it's best to test things out yourself

[molten gust]

I installed it as intended, I will be waiting for a fix lol

hes talking about being able to build a bigger ship, not the 100 parts limit

that one seems to be just about the parts limit

we need to remove the limitation on length

if you don't find anything on Nexus chances are it either doesn't or can't exist

If you dont care about version mismatch with people on Public (ex. consoles), you can try it

[cold olive]

chat is the better planet generation mod good?

[hearty wasp]

Either way there's no use to you doing the same thing over and over again

[fresh arch]

Just don't hop between public and experimental too often

[unborn thunder]

If you'd like to talk to me on personal matters, my DMs are open, but not here

[cold olive]

sure go to dms then

[hearty wasp]

Doing the same complaint on the daily when there's no way anyone other than HG can fix it doesn't really help

[cold sequoia]

But i am not crashing while not hot freighter mods in like more expedition and better frigate fix mods

[hearty wasp]

That is irrelevant

If the way the game's handling mods is crashing your game that is on the game

Take that however you like but we can't do much

[cold sequoia]

Thats stupid

[hearty wasp]

Yes

[cold sequoia]

Lmao

@hearty wasp

This is currently what I got in mod folder

[hearty wasp]

Cool

[cold sequoia]

4 of the mods i ain't crashing with

[cold olive]

why did i assume you said milfs instead of mifs

[cold sequoia]

Just those other since installing them that I am

[hearty wasp]

I'm not sure what is it that you need by giving me this information

[cold sequoia]

Mis type

[hearty wasp]

Do you want an explanation of why theose mods may be crashing your game?

[cold olive]

are others able to see the better planet generation or what? how does that work in multiplayer.

[hearty wasp]

And why it is not up to us modders to fix them?

[cold sequoia]

Just letting you see what i currently have you did say to always share mods folder

[hearty wasp]

Yeah but you already did that previously

And the situation has not changed regarding public branch

[cold sequoia]

Just the freighter mods

[cold olive]

mind someone explain me this?

[fresh arch]

See this post: #nms-modding message

[cold olive]

okay

thank you, mate

[cold sequoia]

Babs was the one that told me the 2 mods should be fine still thats why I installed that back again to see hiw they hold up

[unborn thunder]

if you have planet gen/terrain gen mods, most likely no, others cannot see it unless they have the same mod installed

[cold olive]

thank you

[hearty wasp]

So after 6.0, we've observed various aspects of the game going haywire when specfic types of mods are installed. One example is when an emote mod is installed all players excluding you would repeat a single animation, the other example is your crashes. These are not caused directly by the mods changing the game, evidenced by the fact that the respective mods don't interact with the systems that are unstable. I have tested different cases and found out that 1. Language entries (texts display on screen) are related in some cases and 2. MBINs over EXMLs are not affected in some cases. From this we have a partial conclusion that the game has been updated to load and/or compile EXMLs differently, which is causing the game to misbehave in adjacent systems (especially prominent when language entries are involved). This means that while mods are present when issues happen, it is the underlying cause of the game being unable to load EXMLs properly that are making them happen, which is why we as modders have no way to fix thesr issues, and HG will instead need to improve stability on their end.

Hopefully knowong the causes will help you understand the situation a little bit more

[cold olive]

why are you writing a whole ass paragraph?

[hearty wasp]

They did say they want to know

[cold sequoia]

Ah i get it

[fresh arch]

tbh it's one of the most normal things Winder has ever done

[cold sequoia]

So we just need to wait for HGS stability updates

[hearty wasp]

That's what I've been saying the past 10 minutes, yes

And why I recommended using the experimental branch

[cold olive]

that's crazy

[hearty wasp]

Do you think pissing is more normal or what

[cold sequoia]

Makes sense since they just came out with this big update abd the stability messed up

[hearty wasp]

Yeah it'll take time for both us and HG to fix things

[unborn thunder]

@fresh arch now that I think of it, could this be a factor?

[hearty wasp]

Wouldn't think so, no

[fresh arch]

what, size of the file?

[unborn thunder]

yeah, for the loctable file

[cold sequoia]

Thanks ill wait and stick to public ive removed those 2 mods for now

[fresh arch]

I would be very surprised if that was the case

[unborn thunder]

also i went in and checked formatting, and I don't see any more issues, fixed what I did see, but it still fails to load

[hearty wasp]

That's ok too as long as you can play the game

[cold sequoia]

Yeah i can

[fresh arch]

Granted, I did only smaller mods to replace / inject custom text, never tested it with files this big

[unborn thunder]

is there a way to split it into smaller files?

[cold olive]

no

[hearty wasp]

Eucli-ea's loctable was p big and it works

[unborn thunder]

hmmm

[hearty wasp]

Not to mention the vanilla language files are gigantic

[unborn thunder]

might still be some formatting issue then, that i've overlooked

[fresh arch]

basically says the structure is wrong, gives sone line number, maybe check that

[cold olive]

bro i got a mod thats over a petabyte, your alright

[fresh arch]

You wont find it just by looking when you get thousands of lines

[cold olive]

first time ragebaiting... please don't get angy >.< :C :3

[hearty wasp]

Also quick question have you been making that file manually?

[unborn thunder]

i'm copying chunks and specific lines over from the game's english files, then i have a program I made to run through and auto translate the English values

[fresh arch]

do you have AMUMSS installed by any chance?

it has a feature where it can create a LocTable file for you

[unborn thunder]

i don't think i do, but im far past the point that that would help, i've already done too much, but I'll keep that in mind for future ref, ty

[unborn thunder]

i see i see

[hearty wasp]

Lo2k has a tool btw https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/658?tab=description

But yeah the more manually you do things the more things can go wrong

[unborn thunder]

yeah, as always

[hearty wasp]

Not that I don't admire the dedication but there are possibly better ways lol

[unborn thunder]

personally, i don't mind the hands-on experience since im just getting into it. helps me explore the ins and outs of it more, and as i get more familiar, i can see why certain tools are helpful, and what to use them for

[upper quarry]

was nms save editor updated?

[solid hawk]

Was out, so a little late to the party, but I've multiple people reporting the better frigate repair, at least, is working fine and I can't replicate on my system, leading to believe you're just hitting into some oddball vanilla game bug.

[unborn thunder]

got it working, ty @fresh arch @hearty wasp

[solid hawk]

Which could be caused by ANYTHING. Some combination of custom difficulty settings, for example. No means to diagnose something like that.

[solid hawk]

Should check the save editor github to find out

[deep holly]

Quick Question: How would one add Custom Keybinds to the game?

(i understand it may not be Quick, i just wanna know where to start looking)

[cold sequoia]

Is so sad

[ocean prairie]

is there a mod that lets me rotate the camera even infront of the ship?

[lime kettle]

is there a mod that fixes this?

[rough stratus]

Hey @frigid grove , I just did the first expedition using your expedition generator, worked perfectly. Super awesome job- probably the best thing I've seen anyone make for this game.
I was looking at doing the 7th, but there seem so be a lot of warnings- how strongly do you recommend the Disable "reset save on death" mechanic and reduce difficulty settings patch? I think I'd rather do it without it, but if you think I'm likely to run into issues then I'll enable it

[frigid grove]

Just backup your save for peace-of-mind and do it with the reset save on death mechanic intact

[rough stratus]

I was gonna do it on a fresh save regardless

[frigid grove]

Oh in that case I wouldn't worry about it at all

[wet valley]

So im curious abotu the mods that let me run old expeditions, me and my wife want to run some of the older ones but everyguide/mod we find to do it says you need multiplayer off to run them.

[rough stratus]

Sounds good, you're the best man

[rough stratus]

Yeah, you have to do it with no network connection- most easily accomplished by setting steam to offline mode

So you won't be able to do it with others

[frigid grove]

There is a DLL version that lets you run them online, but it doesn't have the most recent versions of the patched expedition config files, so you may run into problems.

[wet valley]

Ah

[rough stratus]

Oh, didn't realize this- I don't think I'll need it but where can I find that?

[wet valley]

Ive also seens ome mentionign that HG did redo some of the older expditions once? and they may again in the future, but i saw that in a reddit post and no where else

[frigid grove]

I'm looking for the link, lol

[rough stratus]

My memory isn't very good since I mostly ignored expeditions bc of their FOMO nature (I avoid most FOMO things in gaming)- but based off of the generator alone it looks like the first 16 were redone (since they have "Redux" in their name)

cwmonkey would know more obviously

[frigid grove]

CC @wet valley https://nomansapp.com/transcender

Some of the stuff it does is paid, but the expedition part is free. Mjstral has plans to pull the latest and greatest expedition configs from my repo, but they have a lot on their plate so it's not done yet.

[rough stratus]

Thanks!

[frigid grove]

The expeditions from this year will be rerun reduxed at the end of the year, and once in a while they will rerun an old one, but that is a wildcard.

[rough stratus]

Probably just going to stick to yours though

Still good to have in case a friend wants to run an old one together

[solid hawk]

Not redo, redux

[wet valley]

This is actually kind of insane

[solid hawk]

They didn't change anything just a second chance to play. They do that every year over the holidays (Nov-Jan), while HG staff takes vacation time.

[wet valley]

Oh nice so hopefully in a few months theyll be running some again?

[frigid grove]

Yeah that's true, they are run for a shorter time and have reduced requirements. The first few had vastly reduced requirements, but the last few have been only slight tweaks, since they stopped doing stupid bullshit like discover 100 things.

[solid hawk]

Yes

[wet valley]

Cool, ill just wait for them to offically run then

[solid hawk]

Due to timing, I think this was the last content add of the years, then they'll do redux in a cuople of months.

[solid hawk]

They don't do all of the past expeditions every year, just the ones from that year and maybe a couple of other ones.

Like this year there were only three expeditions, so they'll do a couple of others to fill it out.

Each will run for two weeks, one at a time.

[rough stratus]

@frigid grove I'm sure this is a very stupid question, but what happens if I take over 439 months to complete the expedition 🤣

37 years is a long time, I know, but the curiousity is bugging me

[frigid grove]

I call it the Y2K62 bug

I've actually been meaning to make it so the date constantly changes to be some number of years away from the date you downloaded it. This will matter when I'm dead.

[rough stratus]

Something I'm sure every programmer can relate to 🤣

[forest crow]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/955?tab=description

does this work?

[cold sequoia]

Its out dated

It mite work but tgeres a chance not since it's out of date

But you could just give it a test and see for your self

[lime kettle]

is there a mod for removing the camera slowing when running in 3rd person??

[solid hawk]

Mods updated last, prior to 29 January 2025, have exactly zero chance of working. That on the other hand is not a mod, it's a reshade preset, so may or may not work, don't know how often reshade changes things which would break the presets.

[solid hawk]

Search NexusMods for cam. Sort by last updated. Mods updated last, prior to 29 January 2025, have exactly zero chance of working.

[lime kettle]

i havent found anything of the sort 😭

[solid hawk]

Then there isn't one, sorry

So when running in 3rd person the camera falls farther and farther behind the character?

Is so, sounds more like a side effect of the VRAM leak, causing processing slowdowns, than anything else to me. If this is the case, then couldn't be a mod for it. Hello Games working on a fix.

[lime kettle]

naw the camera is just turning slowly when running in 3rd person the game isn't slowing down actually

[lime kettle]

i sent a video showcasing it above

[waxen cedar]

Yeah it's annyoing. Too bad there isn't a toggle for it. Usually it's called camera damping or such in games.

[vocal quest]

Is there a tool that allows to switch from normal to fully creative to build your ship for free without needing to gather parts?

[hearty wasp]

the options menu?

can you not change the difficulty settings in game

[vocal quest]

If you change from normal to creative on same save, you still have to gather ship parts to build your own ship, same with corvette I think

[final hazel]

Setting Crafting to Free will allow you to build with all corvette parts for freee

This will not allow you to fabricate Fighter, Hauler, Explorer and Solar starships freely though

A bit of an inconsistency, only due to corvette building counting as base building, which is lumped into crafting

[vocal quest]

Oh okay, so the only option will be to salvage ships form NPC on space station

But thx :)

[long raptor]

Is there any mod to fix the buggy ah ah sentinels?

[blissful escarp]

Is it possible to import other people’s corvette ships yet?

[compact stratus]

Mods can't fix bugs. Report and hope for the best

[vale iron]

They can fix some bugs, but can't change EXE or add functions

[compact stratus]

Noted, thanks for the clarification

[solid hawk]

Big thing with bug fix mods, especially with HG in full on bug hunt mode, is not worth the time and effort for a mod which would only be applicable for use for a matter of days to a week or two.

Go out, source yourself the perfect dry aged porterhouse. Cook it perfectly, with all the sides and fixin'. Then throw it in the trash. That's what making bug fix mods is like.

[compact stratus]

You are really traumatized from last week, i feel you

[polar epoch]

Has anyone had the issue with Vortex and No Man's Sky just suddenly stop loading mods? (Yes, I know some of you aren't a fan of that mod manager or using mod managers at all, but I've used Vortex and Mod Organizer at this point as well) Vortex was loading fine and had mods working, had switched over to join a friend in multiplayer and had to reload the game due to an issue I was having and when I reloaded I don't have any mods. Steps I have followed are: Reload Vortex, Log out and back in, Fully disable all mods and load the game without, Fully enable all the mods and load the game (didn't work still), re-install all mods, fully uninstall/purge/remove archives of all mods and re-install them, verified steam files and re-enabled/deployed mods after, I even tried restarting my computer with no luck.

[compact stratus]

Have you deleted "C:\STEAM_GAMES\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\Binaries\SETTINGS\GCMODSETTINGS.MXML"?

[polar epoch]

I have recently, yes, tonight no

[compact stratus]

It doesn't hurt to delete again

Even though it's weird if that's the cause

[polar epoch]

I'm currently re-installing the game fresh and my mods, so we'll see how it goes but I'll be deleting that if it exists too. Re-installing from fresh is literally the only thing I didn't do til now.

Reinstall of everything (after hours of troubleshooting) fixed it.

[compact stratus]

The good old "nuclear approach", as i like to call it.

Nuke everything and reinstall.

[polar epoch]

Yep, after that much time, for sure.

[blissful escarp]

Can I use both NomNom and Goatfungus? What are the differences?

[solid hawk]

Yes, just not both at the exact same time. They are by different people with some differentiation in some features.

There's no comparison doc, just look through both and find out.

[blissful escarp]

Well yeah I was just wondering since I regularly use NomNom but I want to import a ship that needs to be imported with goatfungus

[solid hawk]

They do use different formats for import and export, yeah

[raw roost]

huh this is weird... ive placed the mods in the correct folder, the game even said im running a modded version but the mods dont work??

its the remove build limit on corvette mod and station lighting

what should i do guys?

[lime kettle]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1868?tab=description does this mod still work or na?

[vale iron]

You have them buried too deep. See the pin about modding after 5.58 for troubleshooting

[raw roost]

ah now it works, thanks gumsk

didnt scroll down to see the latest update to modding

[vale iron]

Yeah, I may need to make that a PDF and put it on NEXUS

[raw roost]

Bcs i mod other games and never had that double folder problem

Thats why i was so confused

[vale iron]

Before 6.0 we had few enough new mod users that it wasn't a big deal, but now lots of people not seeing that

[raw roost]

yeah i havent messed with modding in a long time

Last time i modded, the mods folder is still located in pcbanks

[vale iron]

Yeah, that messed up a lot of people. You can see that in my instructions on the installation 🙂

[raw roost]

Yupp

[vale iron]

NOT PCBANKS!!!!1111!11one

[grizzled oriole]

recommended mods?

[compact stratus]

Probably yes.

[compact stratus]

Install and test. It wont break anything if it doesn't work

Uploaded to Nexus, because goddamn the number of new user questions. Hopefully they see it there.

It's all about personal taste... go to Nexus and search. Whatever catches your eye, install and test.

[sly hemlock]

Are there any mods that add better building tools?

[compact stratus]

What do you mean by "building tools"?

[sly hemlock]

Better placements

[solid hawk]

If you mean different rotations, then no

[compact stratus]

Snap points?

[sly hemlock]

More like nudging kinda like satisfactory

[solid hawk]

No idea what that means

[sly hemlock]

Using the arrow keys to move it tiny ammounts

[solid hawk]

Then no

HG would have to add that

We cannot add new functionality

[sly hemlock]

Mm i see

[solid hawk]

We change values for existing properties. If there's no properties to do something, out of mods capabilities.

[sly hemlock]

That is a shame

[compact stratus]

Decrease mouse sensivity, if you have a mouse capable of doing that on-the-fly. Could be a workaround 🤔

[solid hawk]

Good thought

[sly hemlock]

I'm more trying to get things as symmetrical as possible.

And that's very hard to do

Because when I pick something up and then move it when I moved to a different spot it moves it off center

By alot

[solid hawk]

On the mod page, look at the number of people using. In this case, a very high number for NMS. Then look in POSTS, how many people complaining about not working since 6.x came out. None. Answers your question. 🙂

Another taught to fish, lol.

[compact stratus]

yeah, super annoying if you're trying to line things up

tried to place several planters on my freighter, to "farm" carbon, and those bastards are all crooked. I just gave up. It's a ship, so things move around i guess (that's my justification lol)

[sly hemlock]

I feel like base building should be completely overhauled in the next coming updates whenever they release them like for a major update

That and most of the existing features
