[frigid grove]

Aight well I can work with you in DM's if you want t try to figure it out

[vale iron]

It's a vanilla crash. It should be based on save, not the whole game, and I think it's only affecting expedition saves. I'm not sure, but maybe related to having only a corvette? Report to HG and maybe include your save file.

[mint birch]

sure

[final hazel]

I do not believe so, you could ask the mod author in the "Posts" section of the mod's page, though the current file's description seems to imply that they are already working on a higher speed version of the mod!

or possibly just slower versions of it

[hearty wasp]

ED-E has a lua

but also that mod is likely just an exml

just start changing the numbers in there

[hexed portal]

Are there any mods that make switching tech and cargo between multitools/starships less of a pain?

Buying a starship or multitool takes like half an hour because I need to constantly switch between them to access their inventories and sort everything out. I wish there was just a button that did it for me lol

[final hazel]

It's MBINs, and as the mod author hasn't finished updating the other variants I just assumed that it would be too difficult to find without prior knowledge

Scrolling through thousands of properties isn't something I would sentence someone to lol

[vale iron]

Strange, the globals changes should be exml. I think he changes anims as well, which night need MBINs, but not globals

[final hazel]

Well they ain't

[hearty wasp]

cringe

well ED-E has a lua so

[vale iron]

I wasn't saying he wasn't using MBINs, just that he shouldn't

[final hazel]

Yeah, it doesn't seem like something that'd benefit from being MBIN whatsoever

[hexed portal]

Just discovered FoxTech. It'll make this stuff so easy

[empty cave]

Anyone have a mod for more dust? like for storms on planets.

or is there a setting I'm not properly using (such as DLSS, etc.)

[hexed portal]

more dust? I always get like blinding dust in my game lol

I can hardly see in my ship during storms

[empty cave]

for whatever reason mine just seems lacking lol

or maybe it's a quality difference between PC and console

[hexed portal]

I'm on PC. Perhaps it's graphics settings

[final hazel]

The best option would be to set Volumetric Effects to Ultra (and also Texture Quality too I believe), I'm not sure if any modder has tackled the LoD, render distance and amount of particles/clouds of dust the game creates

[empty cave]

Ok it may just be the planet itself (its a toxic planet) but theres like no fog, so maybe there's a mod I installed that is removing it

HAZARD FX WERE AT 35%

THATS WHAT IT WAS

DAMN YOU MEEEEE!!!

[worldly flame]

Hey guys, so I just learnt that nms has mods and I was wondering if there was any good performace mods, I'd love to be able to increase my game resolution

[final hazel]

There are no performance mods like that to my knowledge, you may be able to increase resolution in the TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.MXML file that governs Graphics & Display Options, but I do not know if that would work

[worldly flame]

I meant just performace mods in general sorry, I have to play at a lower resolution get enough frames

[shy portal]

are there mod that increse sentinels swarm, not changing stats or something like that, just increse their number

[final hazel]

Oh, I do not believe there are any mods like that for this game, at least any that are updated for modern versions of the game.

[worldly flame]

alright thank you

[vale iron]

Grass fix probably helps some. I think Mjstral had a couple that improve performance. I have one to remove the mining effects to help a little with performance

[final hazel]

Oh the grass one is updated!

[vale iron]

No clue, but probably

[final hazel]

At least it's updated for WP2

I just see a screenshot with Next era vibes and assume it hasn't been updated since then lol

Oh also babs made one https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3693

[brazen summit]

Im having issues regardless of what I use. Is there some extra step i need to take? I already made it so that hidden files can be seen.

[hot ember]

it's easier to help if you state what is NOT working for you, instead of being vague

[final hazel]

There shouldn't be any further steps than opening it, specifying your save file path, and selecting which save you would like to modify

[brazen summit]

?

[hot ember]

what about my statement are you having trouble understanding

you're trying to use a save editor, you're saying it's not working - what about it specifically isn't working

[brazen summit]

Ah I see, now that makes sense. Are you willing to help? Hard to tell by your previous statements :).

[hot ember]

I can't help if the person is unwilling to provide information required

[brazen summit]

Sorry you feel that way. Hope you have a nice day.

[hot ember]

and I don't enjoy playing the interrogation game, as I'm sure you don't either

[brazen summit]

Then don't mind me. Some one else can help me. Maybe don't try to help people if you're not capable of being polite.

[brazen summit]

Thanks for that. I've entered the save path file but it does not prompt anything after I hit enter.

I have the goatfungus app downloaded

[winter harness]

I’m sure it’s a mod, But I don’t exactly know or can’t find a video on it anywhere.
Does anyone have a video or something on the “Carpet” Corvette build? Please let me know.

[fresh arch]

I believe the "carpet video" was made with Beyond Base Building + some mod that allows for resizing parts

I think Gumsk should have one, search their portfolio

[winter harness]

Where would I find this?

[fresh arch]

On Nexus Mods, all active mod authors upload their stuff only there

[winter harness]

So I've checked, But I don't see the mod for it.
He has a "Custom ship" one but it doesn't allow others to see it, Which the carpet shows for even other people since it's a corvette and not a custom seed starship.
Do you have any other ideas?

[fresh arch]

the carpet is not a custom ship model

the carpet is a base building part

used BBB to enable building that and resized it to be bigger

I was talking that Gumsk might have a mod that allows resizing building parts

Not that they have a mod to specifically turn a ship into a carpet

[winter harness]

Sorry, I should've said this in the start.
I've always had Beyond Base Building , But even then It doesn't allow me to find a way to get the corvette build parts small enough to not show in the carpet.
As is why I'm highly confused on the "flying carpet" build

[fresh arch]

look Im not a base builder, I dont use these kinda mods

I will not tell you how exactly it was achieved

I;m telling you what tools were used, at least in my opinion

[vale iron]

gBase scaling

Plus BBB

Plus a little glitch building

[fresh arch]

the cavalry has arrived

[vale iron]

They didn't mention the mods on the Reddit thread, but did explain the glitching they used

[winter harness]

I see , Thank you lots.

[ebon cosmos]

When asking for help, you are saving time for everyone involved by providing details of the issue at hand.

https://xyproblem.info/

They were trying to help you, but nobody will play a guessing game with you in their free time.

[winter harness]

I was checking around on you're profile and didn't see gBase scaling , Searching it up allowed me to find it.
🙏

[vale iron]

I need to update my mod status page

[brazen summit]

Of course. But complaining is neither X nor Y.

[winter harness]

Perhaps would you be able to link me to the reddit page , If it's not that much work for ya.
Either I just can't look correctly or I can't find anything , searching carpet + magic carpet.

[fresh arch]

uhhh go to NMS subreddit, type "carpet" search bar and press enter?

[ebon cosmos]

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/s/MlLLWPyueM

This?

First result for carpet and sorted by "hot"

[winter harness]

Exactly, Thank you brotha.

Well, You gave me the route so thank you.
Thank's to Gumsk himself as well. 🙏

[serene wigeon]

Is their a idiot proof guide on how to download mods and get them running? Ive never used mods unless the game offers them like bg3 since im afraid ill fuck it up and ruin my game

And where do you guys get the mods from?

[final hazel]

That is a Save Editor, which is not related to mods

[winter harness]

Oh yeah, Oops.

[winter harness]

https://www.nexusmods.com/games/nomanssky

[final hazel]

This game can't be "fucked up" by mods, the worst thing that can happen is them not being read by the game. We have a writeup on how to install them manually (http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550), or you can use Vortex.

I'd advise sorting by last updated https://www.nexusmods.com/games/nomanssky/mods?sort=updatedAt as many of the top endorsed/downloaded mods are severely out of date

Nexusmods is the only website used for downloading mods for No Man's Sky, besides advanced experimental ones on wacky github pages

[serene wigeon]

Vortex?

Thanks btw

[final hazel]

Vortex is the mod manager for NexusMods https://www.nexusmods.com/about/vortex

It is very unnecessary for No Man's Sky mod installation, it is only useful if you do not fully understand copying folders from one place to another and following troubleshooting steps in the mod guide

[serene wigeon]

Ah okay

Thanks

[final hazel]

Sometimes Vortex can cause further issues, like for me and somebody I was helping it pointed to the old MODS folder location, or it can unpack the folders incorrectly

[serene wigeon]

Aight, ill try them out later

[heavy oar]

Does the unlock purple system mod still works ?

[final hazel]

It should still work https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3330

[heavy oar]

Thanks

[vale iron]

Yeah, I don't know why it unpacks incorrectly for some people. Probably just some option somewhere. I know I'm using symlinks for my mods, so maybe that's it?

[final hazel]

Maybe specific stuff like 7z hate it or something, or maybe 7z works but windows unpacking hates it (but then everyone would complain)

[sharp thistle]

Is there a mod that localizes all foreign languages? It doesn't make sense to me that I see Spanish and French and etc for system messages, and it makes it hard for me to tell what other people are doing

[vale iron]

No, and not sure if it's possible

Even with translation turned on, it's still doing it

[sharp thistle]

Wait, there's translation?

[vale iron]

In the options

I don't know what it uses to translate though, or if it even works

[sharp thistle]

You're kidding.

Why is that not on by default

[final hazel]

The messages when other players do things will always be in their own languages

This cannot be changed or translated by the in-game translation

I believe only player-typed messages are translated

[sharp thistle]

Is there any specific reason why it doesn't work as a mod? Like....it's a preset message pretty much, isn't it? It's localized in multiple others

[final hazel]

The preset message is localized in your own language and sent out, which also goes for other players in different languages

You can't localize it for other people's clients without them also downloading the mod, which would then make their own status messages unreadable to them

The game doesn't send anything recognizable that it could then localize back into your own language

It just sends The Localized Message

[sharp thistle]

So you're not receiving the actual events they're doing, you're just receiving the raw text of what they're seeing

[final hazel]

Exactly

[sharp thistle]

That's

Brug

[final hazel]

At least that is my understanding of it and how I have observed it

[sharp thistle]

I get why kind of, but you'd think it could be coded in that if x event triggers x thing, other players recieve x event in their own language

Not even as a mod

Just as like a basic thing

Like not the event itself but the individual blocks of text

[final hazel]

Yeah, but if you are playing with people of your own language then it makes sense to skimp over

It is a strange way to do it, but one that works efficiently

[sharp thistle]

I don't see many English players, gonna be honest

That's why I'm having issues

I just met Chinese players and the fonts were completely broken

Like there were no Chinese characters, just crossed boxes

The only reason I even knew they spoke Chinese was because they knew English

[final hazel]

Yeah, the default English font doesn't include many non-latin characters

There's a mod to fix that, but it replaces the font too

[sharp thistle]

So I saw

Does it actually work though?

[final hazel]

Yes, the only downside is that it's font is different then the English NMS font

[sharp thistle]

That wouldn't really bother me much

I guess I'll give that a try and pull out the phone when I see other languages

[vale iron]

Yeah don't know why they don't fix that

[sharp thistle]

Seems simple enough to fix but I don't know what spaghetti code monster there could be in that closet

[vale iron]

NMS is the spaghettiest code after 15 years or so of constant changes

[sharp thistle]

Simple but super tedious

[heavy oar]

they really need to just add an option to be able to unlock purple systems than doing mods

[hot ember]

you mean besides the mission that's in the game?

[heavy oar]

well there a setting in the dificulty settings that allow you to not need other hyperdrive to go to red and blue systems

why not implement purple systems in that dificulty setting too? or add a new one saying thay it unlock all system even hidden one

doesnt seem that hard

[sharp thistle]

Also is there a mod to make autopilot auto targeting allow reversing? Like mf...let me reverse. It FORCING me to go forward is actually making my aim WORSE

[hot ember]

!hg // feel free to suggest

[hardy aurora]

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

[heavy oar]

did for a long time tbh

same goes with being able to hide the galaxy map ui

u could do that before atlas rises

never saw someone make a mod that makes u hide the whole ui

[final hazel]

You can change auto targeting to be toggled by a button, which would then allow you to reverse properly

[sharp thistle]

See, all it does it slow me down, I can rarely reverse unless the ship is right in my face

[final hazel]

The default key for that is E

Ohhhh

[sharp thistle]

I'm on controller but the behavior is the same

[final hazel]

Yeah, reversing is difficult in-combat unless you collide with something, somewhat similar to being in-atmosphere

[sharp thistle]

I'm perfectly fine reversing when not locked in, but Phase Beam not having lock on like the Photon Cannon makes me want to use the auto aim except the auto aim actively makes combat worse

[final hazel]

Or it's just not possible to do while auto targeted, i forgor

[sharp thistle]

It's purgatory

I've started aiming manually because of how frustrating it is, but it's SO tedious

[hot ember]

cyclotron makes ships stop moving

[sharp thistle]

Not really stop, just slow down

It disables their boost

[hot ember]

interesting, when I was playing exp they turned into sitting ducks

[tepid dune]

yeah, but who uses cyclotron with phase except me?

[static garnet]

Hey does any1 know where the DISABLEDMODS.txt file is or is there a updates mod tutorial

Can I filter the mods for client side mods in nexusmods

[hearty wasp]

why would you filter all of them in

by then it's less of a filter and more of a gaping hole

[trim wharf]

Do we have a mod for using corvette parts on land yet? A few days back I had corvette parts + all the base parts in my base build menu when I was outside of my corvette. I didn't think nothing of it thinking it was exolars builder build mod that enabled it for me and now I have been unable to recreate that -feature-. I tried searching around and it doesn't seem like it's a thing yet surprisingly

[hearty wasp]

prolly is BBB if it's any mod

[stuck ridge]

Hello, is someone here who would like to help me to understand a mod (how I use it correctly) ? I mean the "Base Building App" from DjMonkeyUK. Has someone experience with that???

[hearty wasp]

I'm not sure that's updated

[stuck ridge]

What exactly do you mean? It still work, I can edit my bases and import the code back again into my save file.

[hearty wasp]

oh ok that's nice

[stuck ridge]

Yes. But the wiring is a mess. It works. Somehow. I just don't know how. Probably it is much easiert than I think....

[chilly axle]

Does anyone by chance have a bone worm egg i could have? Or any giant worm

[heavy oar]

its weird i have the unlock purple system mod on but i need to put the purple systems always visible mods to see them

[opaque beacon]

is there a mod that removes the 16k hard limit on placed items

[hearty wasp]

can't

[serene wigeon]

can any1 explain to me how i download this? im not at all experienced in modding

[inland crypt]

Anyone here able to get me a wyvern egg?

[final hazel]

There aren't wyverns in NMS, but these things are kinda close?

[inland crypt]

Yes exactly!

are you able to help me out with it?

[final hazel]

Yes, I would be willing to give eggs of any of these!

[inland crypt]

Ok what do you need me to do?

[errant gull]

How do I find one of these?

[chilly axle]

@final hazel those are called wyverns

@final hazel I like that eagle

[somber karma]

Can anyone help with modding, I am having some issues

[final hazel]

Many planets will have them flying around, but without mods they cannot be interacted with and adopted from the wild

[errant gull]

Eggs??

[final hazel]

You can only get Companion Eggs from creatures that are already your companion, other players could give you Companion Eggs of creatures like those that are not normally able to be adopted

[opaque beacon]

may i have one of the blue butterfly wings one

[final hazel]

You may!

[opaque beacon]

is gene splicing possible with eggs from these modded creatures

[final hazel]

Yes, but it's much weirder, what different features would you like?

I could just do them specifically and avoid the randomness, or you could use this website to create what you desire and send it to me https://creature.nmscd.com/

[opaque beacon]

ooh let me check on this website first

what do these do

[final hazel]

Change the two behaviours towards one thing or the other

not really important

[opaque beacon]

i might be blind but i dont see the options to change the creature's colors

[final hazel]

Oh, that is governed by the color seed

Completely random but deterministic for each seed

[opaque beacon]

i think ill just gacha for rerolling the colors in the gene splicer then lol i was planning to also ask for one of the grey eagle ones just to change its colors

[final hazel]

What specific colors would you like?

[opaque beacon]

would there be a color scheme that could resemble this?

[final hazel]

I could try to do that later, rerolling a bunch of seeds

[opaque beacon]

if not, maybe a red and yellow like a phoenix

whichever you may find first

[opaque beacon]

anyways please tell me when you will be available later 🙏

[tall raptor]

Anyone have an Extra dream aerial

[raw hollow]

can someone help me figure out how to use save editor i struggle to follow to youtube videos any help is appreciated

[steep ember]

are all eagles the same color

cus that looks the exact same as mine

[final hazel]

They are not, their color can be customized

Mine uses the colors given from Aronium

[steep ember]

with the egg sequencers right

i just got mine from the mod itself

[final hazel]

Yes, and their color is initially random too like any other fauna

based on their weird seeds

[steep ember]

so if i want another color i need an egg and have to wait and sequence it

[final hazel]

Yes, or you could add a color seed and reroll that to get random colors using a save editor

[steep ember]

o ok

[opaque beacon]

@final hazel mind if i ask if youre available rn for the eggs n stuff?

[hot ember]

open editor, select your platform, select the save file you want to edit, edit what you need, save, done
it took me five minutes without a video, what specifically do you want to do but not know how

[raw hollow]

which editor do you use? i have nomnom rn i use the xbox app to play nms on pc

[hot ember]

goat but they're the same
please just describe your error, nobody can help you if they don't know what the problem is

[hot oar]

Hi all a mp3 music mod exist?

[hot ember]

mods cannot add new functionality or assets to the game

[final hazel]

The best way to do that would be to use any external music software and mute the game's music

[iron summit]

Can mods give other people items or yourself

[hot ember]

save editing can, have to trade if you want to give someone something

[iron summit]

Sweet thanks good to know

[serene wigeon]

Any1?

[hot ember]

download the file, open save editor, open your save file, press this, select the file you downloaded

[serene wigeon]

Whut

Could u dumb it down step by step for me? Im sorry

[hot ember]

this is as simple as I can make it

[pine sierra]

you download the file in the post.
You download a save game editor (pretty sure they're in pinned messages)
run the editor
open your NMS save game file using it
Import the ship using the import button as shown

i'd also make a copy of your save game incase something bad happens 🙂

[serene wigeon]

🫡

[hot ember]

what I said
save editors make backups automatically as well

[serene wigeon]

im sorry, i have no knowledge over save game editors and stuff, so that step by step helps, didnt mean to offend you if i did @hot ember

[hot ember]

no it's fine, I just don't have the patience for it

[serene wigeon]

Uhm.. nomnom isnt workin properly for i feel like? i cant get to this page.. any know how to fix it?

[pine sierra]

you need to be more specific with what you are doing/can't do

[hot ember]

I was able to download/open it just fine

[serene wigeon]

unless im doing somethin completely wrong

which very well might be the case

[pine sierra]

i admit, i've never used it.
The instructions say to "seleclt a slot" so you might need to actually click on the slot in order to edit it?

[hot ember]

wait for a few seconds

you also might want to not show a screenshot which lists (I'm assuming) your full name as your PC username

[serene wigeon]

thats fair

[serene wigeon]

thats what im doin, it did it once at the start, but never again

[serene wigeon]

nothing

[hot ember]

this is what happens on my end, if it's not working for you I'd take a look at the troubleshooting section at where you downloaded the editor from

[serene wigeon]

found it out, went to the nomnom discord, for somereason it doesnt allow you to open it and when you move the collection folders to another location, it does work

for those who run into the problem too

[serene wigeon]

but now im stuck again..? i cant find this import button on here

[pine sierra]

you're on the starship tab?

[serene wigeon]

yea

[hot ember]

that's the other save editor

this, then "add"

[serene wigeon]

Thats what i did, but that fucked it up for me

But im guessing add it in the starship folder?

no matter what i do, it crashes nomnom, i think its the starship file itself

[hot ember]

yup, crashed for me too

[serene wigeon]

guessing its the file itself then

[hot ember]

works in the other editor

[serene wigeon]

hmok, ill try that one then

[round sinew]

@lime mesa here, check this post <#nms-modding message>, grab a save editor like nmsse, backup your save folder, and then just goto edit account raw json, usersettingsdata>unlockedtitles on the list on the right, and then it's just a matter of deleting the lines on the right

[serene wigeon]

after a fuck ton of trying, i finally got it lmao

ty @hot ember for helping me

[lime mesa]

Thanks! Love you(⁠づ⁠￣⁠ ⁠³⁠￣⁠)⁠づ

[nimble marsh]

so im using a save editor for the first time just to change the crew on my freighter which ive already doen but what is the "crew seed"?

what does that determine and should i just randomize it since i changed races?

[vale iron]

Crew appearance and names

[nimble marsh]

so i should prolly randomize it then? i cant imagine using the same seed that was for a gek crew on a korvax crew will go very well?

[opal steppe]

Yo this is to fancy for me

[heavy merlin]

It'd be fine, a seed is just a number, any seed is valid for anything that accepts seeds, and there aren't specific seeds that belong to specific things

[vale iron]

Updated, finally
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1444

Ignore the image, it's just proximity doors now.

[nimble marsh]

so it changed the npcs but not the flag

any idea what part of this will affect the flag? do i randomize the model seed? im guessing that will change the colours aswell but thas no biggie

[vale iron]

Home seed, I believe

That would change where you're from, but that's goign to change colors as well

[nimble marsh]

thats fine i bought the colors i wanted 2 use anyway but what would changing where im from do?

is it just gonna put me somewhere totally random in the universe?

or is the original/starting planet relevant somehow i ditched it awhile ago

[hearty wasp]

it'll change the apparence and that's it

[nimble marsh]

oh alr ty

[nimble marsh]

not that apparently

i tried the model seed aswell seemingly nothing u do changes the flag sadly

[visual patio]

Hi! So I installed the complexity limit mod to make a large ship.
Used vortex to ensure I had the right mod directory too, and.. ive just finished my ship and I cannot finalise due to complexity. Can anyone perhaps run me through anything I may have done wrong? I spent ages on this and would rather not lose it.

Which save editor should I use? I used to use NomNom, is there a better or more up-to-date one?

[frigid grove]

@odd pasture Using the link in my profile you can run old expeditions offline. You can crank up the difficulty minimums (you'll have to manually change the difficulty settings), and even make them permadeath. Don't do for reals permadeath on Leviathan, though, otherwise you won't be able to complete it.

[odd pasture]

oh neat, ill have to check that out. i still would want them to rerelease leviathan so i could play it with other people and all the uh. "opportunities" that come with that. if you catch my drift.

[sharp moss]

can anyone give me a red a black dragon pet

[raven shale]

How do I use bot service for free on console

[cinder oyster]

question for the modders here would it be possible to change player capital ship guns to fire on anything nearby?

[hot ember]

mods cannot add new functionality to the game

[cinder oyster]

I was mod that can change passive mobs the agressive so thought it might be possible

[fallow meadow]

!creativehublink @raven shale You'll have to ask here, the Discord of the creator of the service bot

turrets are not creatures unfortunately

different class of being, different mechanics

[cinder oyster]

big sad

[nimble marsh]

wait-

do all dreadknoughts just have a gek flag in them...

[quasi hamlet]

apparently

[heavy merlin]

Probably, #no-mans-sky message

[cinder oyster]

looks like it

[nimble marsh]

bro i was ready 2 trade out my current dreadknought for a naturally korvax manned one just 2 change the flag and now i find out there all secretly gek worshippers

either an oversight or i guess its a nod at the fact the gek used 2 be like superrrrrrrrr evil no?

maybe all the dreadknoughts used 2 be theres

[cinder oyster]

or they only have 1 flag in the budget 🤷‍♂️

[solid hawk]

It's a union thing

[acoustic breach]

If someone has info or resources for this you can ping me or DM me directly

[hearty wasp]

colour palettes are not in dds anymore iirc

check all these mods to see which files they edit

[cinder oyster]

does anyone know where the freigter ai mxml is im lazy

[hearty wasp]

none really exist

if an aspect of a freighter behaviour is being defined by a file they'd be in their respective files

it depends on what exact aspect you're asking for

[cinder oyster]

I take it Freighter in this is a ship class we cant edit then?

[hearty wasp]

if you change it from being a freighter it will seize being a freighter yes

[cinder oyster]

thanks for the info

I noticed the freighter will attack my buggy perhaps i can find away to make everything a buggy

[hearty wasp]

not really

there is a component that defines a scene as a vehicle but if you don't actually set it up as a vehicle the game will just crash

and if you do you'd be making a lot more things into cars

which also can't happen because only one thing can be a car

[cinder oyster]

a mod ifound has this

<Data template="cGcCreatureRoleDescriptionTable">
<Property name="RoleDescription">
<Property name="RoleDescription" value="GcCreatureRoleDescription" _index="0">
<Property name="Role" value="GcCreatureRoles">
<Property name="CreatureRole" value="PlayerPredator" />
</Property>

i take it there is not space ship equivalent then

the code makes passive mobs hostile

[hearty wasp]

no not in the entity at least

all ship of their repective type uses the same scene

so an NPC shuttle is the same model as one that you may have

it's not controled by the entity of the ship

[serene wigeon]

Is there a mod on nexus or something that allows you access to all your storages and or starships at all times?

[hearty wasp]

and any data that defines a ship'd AI role will be fixed so if you make an NPC ship a pirate ship it'll just be a pirate ship wholesale

[serene wigeon]

I couldnt find one myself but maybe im just overlooking it

[cinder oyster]

that is less than ideal.

[hearty wasp]

always has been

there's a reason you don't find many if any mods that does what you're looking to do

if people can, people would've

[cinder oyster]

well i'll keep looking, perhaps i can find something that i can jank like making bullets big. thanks for the help

<Property name="FreightersAlwaysAttackPlayer" value="false" />

"If i cant have fun, no one will" ahh mindset lmao

My game isn't recognizing that it has mods 🤔

[cinder oyster]

you got a mods folder?

i just drop them inthere

[hearty wasp]

<Property name="FreighterAttackDisengageDistance" value="3000.000000" />
<Property name="FreighterAttackAlertThreshold" value="8.000000" />

I think i found it

if i set this to 0 any attack should make them angry

wait a sec, does the dreadnaught not fire back because the shield block the damage?

[trail glade]

Heyo, whats the best QOL mods for VR? I am new to the game and the vVR seems great just want to help improve my experience

[solid hawk]

On NexusMods, search for NMS mods using the VR term. Really are very few VR specific mods for the game.

To pre-answer your next question, because none of the major prolific long term modders for NMS have VR. Too expensive.

[real whale]

help how do I mod no man sky I also don't have the file where I can activate mods

[cinder oyster]

I have made freighters very scary

[solid hawk]

2nd sticky in this channel

[devout goblet]

Can someone help me? I can't figure out why my mods arent working. I use Vortex and wondering if my mods folder is in wrong place

currently in gamedata

[hearty wasp]

#nms-modding message installation/troubleshooting section

[devout goblet]

thank you so much 🙂

[warped ravine]

Any mod that let you travel to other systems without warping?

[hearty wasp]

can't

[versed glade]

Hi, does anyone know how can i get a seed from a sentinel ship from the nms ship customizer webpage???

[hexed portal]

Are there any mods that speeds up the landing/docking animations? It can get really annoying lol.

[final hazel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3079

I doubt that this mod will affect Corvette-class starship landing/docking

[hexed portal]

Fantastic, thank you!

[hexed portal]

I don't use my corvette often anyway XD

It seems like it edits a global value, so it should affect corvettes unless they have their own globals

[hexed portal]

How does one merge mods if they don't have .lua files?

[vale iron]

If they are EXML, you don't

You don't need to

If MBIN, you also don't, but should

[hexed portal]

I don't need to merge them at all?

[vale iron]

EXML, in 99.99% of cases, no need

[hexed portal]

I have mods that edit the same files, they won't conflict with each other?

[vale iron]

See above 😉

The game merges EXML mods on its own

at runtime

[hexed portal]

Oh okay awesome

Here I am worrying that I'll have to get all involved with modding this game lol

[vale iron]

Nah, it got much easier as a user in January

Most EXML mods will also survive most game updates

[hexed portal]

Why can't every game have such simple modding lol

[vale iron]

Some are even easier, but yeah, it's much better now

[hexed portal]

Usually Unreal engine games are pretty simple, but modding a bethesda game is like a full time job that never pays off lol

[livid pivot]

Excuse me. Does anyone know how I can use a save editor for PS5? Or any way I can get the expedition rewards for free?

[vale iron]

You can't

The only option for PS5 is to use cross-save to go to PC, unlock there, then cross-save back. OR cross-save to PS4, export with SaveWizard, edit on PC, import back to PS4, cross-save to PS5

[final hazel]

or use the service bot's Expedition Reward Unlocker service

[solid hawk]

As an addendum to the above, if you have two or more mods with the same MBIN(s), those will need to be merged or something will not work right.

There's few of those, but they do exist, especially SCENE.MBINs

[cinder oyster]

Is there a way to dump all public classes? I would like to see if there are any unused

[rapid sandal]

what public classes do you mean ? the mbin classes are extracted from the exe, they aren't 'public'. the same would be true if you wanted the c++ classes the exe uses, they'd need to be extracted from the exe using something like IDA or Ghidra since they aren't exported. if you want the mbin classes that have been extracted then tools like NMS PCBANKS Explorer that comes with AMUMSS, or NMSMB can display and search all mbin classes, fields, enum's. if you want to see the source you can go to: https://github.com/monkeyman192/MBINCompiler/tree/development/libMBIN/Source/NMS
there is no easy way to know what mbin fields are actually used by the exe, even if they exist in an mbin, it's almost a certaintly that there are some that are no longer used. there are currently: 720 enum's, 2644 classes, 21738 fields in libmbin.

[hollow pivot]

are there any mods for base building? Things like movement mods similar to BDTH (FFXIV housing plugin with gizmo movements etc) or something that allows you to select multiple items at once for mass movement/copypasta?

[safe trellis]

I don't want to mod this game heavily but a few things annoy me, like small item stack sizes
Been looking at mods to alleviate this, do mods like NMSE still work?
I've followed the instructions, but even without loading in any mods the launcher doesn't really launch the game

I've just read the pinned messages, think I have my answer in that old mods don't work if they're not updated after 5.58 version of the game
Should've read that before posting here sry

[vale iron]

not quite like that. There is Beyond Base Building for more options with the current pieces for placement and rotation and things like that. gBase Boundaries for expanding base boundaries farther. gBase Scaling for increasing the range of part scaling. Ultra Base Building for some more parts to build that are in other parts of the game. Euclea for more new parts. Maybe a coupel of others

[vale iron]

gStack for stack sizes. What is NMSE? Anything before January 28th, 2025 will not work. Anything after that, EXML mods will survive most updates, but MBIN mods need to be updated usually when the game updates

[safe trellis]

first mod I looked at was https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/108, which needs NMSE to function
But that's old stuff that won't work anymore then https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/9

[vale iron]

Correct, hasn't worked in several years

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2068

@safe trellis You probably also want to look at Lo2k's mods. He makes the most QoL mods

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/880

[safe trellis]

I did find yours too, thanks
Since this is my first mod, if the GAMEDATA\MODS folder doesn't exist yet I can just create it right? Or does that mean I'm missing something else?

[vale iron]

You're good just making it

[safe trellis]

I would emoji react but it seems I don't have the permissions to do so, so a normal thank you from my end 😉

[vale iron]

hah, no problem

[safe trellis]

@vale iron for yoour gstack mod, I used the 50x multiplier. I see the 1/500 is visible for certain stuff in my exosuit but in my storage it's just the amount of items number. Does the 50x multiplier apply there too?
For example Lemmium normally a max stack value of 20 iirc, new value is 1000 in storage and 500 in exosuit?

[vale iron]

Should apply anywhere there is a stack, except refiners I believe

[cinder oyster]

If anyone wants to get blowup by their own freighter use the optional mod https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3792?tab=description

[rose osprey]

Does refiner input hold more than the 9999 cap? Now that I have more inventory slots and storage opportunities I'm planning to remove the Remove Technology Overload mod that uncaps materials so I'm one less mod away from breaking my save every time the game has an update

also i'm considering using vortex instead of manually handling mods - is that a bad idea

[hearty wasp]

it should mostly work fine but troubleshooting when you encounter issues can become a small bit more complicated

a lot of people do use it

[rose ridge]

hey, is there a mod to make no man's sky support analog keyboards ?

[hearty wasp]

no

[sharp moss]

anyone got a green dragon looking pet

[waxen condor]

hi, any1 an idea, after the update all my mods arent working anymore

[hearty wasp]

#nms-modding message troubleshooting section

[livid pivot]

Okay thank you.

[unreal grotto]

Has anyone used the nms bot delivery system?

[raw hollow]

sorry things got busy, i use the xbox app on my pc to play and when i go to find my save nothing shows up idk if it’s because i use the xbox app

[stable knot]

What would cause mods to not load I accidentally push yes after a game crash when it asked me do I want to disable mods now I cant get mods to load

[smoky hamlet]

so talking on a hypothetical, is there a way to disable the mining restriction around a settlement by editing a game file? Specifically for terrain manipulation.

[spring crater]

Anybody know of a mod that lets you recharge all of your hazard protection at once, having to do all of them is so annoying

[hearty wasp]

#nms-modding message troubleshooting section

[hearty wasp]

can't

[stable knot]

???

[hearty wasp]

read and follow instructions

[cinder oyster]

Any experianced modder know if its possible to modify freighter turret accuracy, ive managed to get bullet speed and other stuff working but not accuracy and spread

[mossy adder]

does anyone know how to change the look of a ship? like wings, engine, cockpit and colors?

yes I know about the save editor but I'm not sure how to use that for my problem

[vale iron]

I could probably create an emote for it, but it would be a free thing, not a cost

[vale iron]

Should be able to. There used to be a mod that adjusted it

[shy portal]

are there mod that unlock all words?

[vale iron]

Save editor

[cinder oyster]

💋 thank

[vale iron]

Find that old mod and decompile it to see how it worked

[cinder oyster]

i had a look and found some mxml hiding in models big thank❤️💋 many kiss

[mortal lichen]

For those of you who used the mod to replay or play old expeditions if connect it back to the internet will i lose the rewards from the old expeditions i played or nah?

[frigid grove]

nah

[mortal lichen]

Thanks i just finished expedition 1 and i plan to play all of em 😂😂

[cinder oyster]

The Freighters have gotten very mad now
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3792

[stable knot]

@hearty wasp umm that did not help me I already know how to mod through Vortex my issue is the game closed out mid gameplay and a page popped up saying disable mods I usually hit no but I hit yes accidentally mods are not working how can I fix that. The page had no intell on my situation

[hearty wasp]

did you do everything written here

i.e. the follow the instructions in the troubleshooting section like I said

[stable knot]

Ok I did what it said deleted the MXML

[stable knot]

Start game?

[vale iron]

Yes

[stable knot]

Do I have to change deployment on Vortex at all? Still not working

[vale iron]

Maybe try purging and re-deploying. If that doesn't work, look at the folder manually

Sometimes Vortex unpacks mods incorrectly, but I haven't seen why

It works for me, but for some people it unpacks an extra folder level deep

[stable knot]

Yeah it was working for me then it stopped

[vale iron]

If it was working before, the deletion of MXML should re-enable it. If there is an out of date mod, it will crash again, though

So it's not deploying, or deploying to the wrong place

[stable knot]

It won't even register that mods are enabled

[vale iron]

Can you force an update check in Vortex? Maybe it's a really old version and hasn't updated itself

Is there a MODS folder in PCBANKS? If so, it's deploying to the wrong place

[stable knot]

Nothing in the mod folder in pc banks mods are in a Vortex folder

[vale iron]

Then it's not deploying at all

[hearty wasp]

try reinstalling vortex

[vale iron]

Either do it manually or do some sort of uninstall reinstall of Vortex and try again

"Fuck it! We'll do it live!"

[stable knot]

Ok doing that now

Download destination don't matter right? For the mod manager

[sharp moss]

how can you build on your corvette

[vale iron]

Has nothign to do with modding. It's a vanilla feature

[shy needle]

is there a mod that would increase the stacks of refiners inputs and outputs from 250 to like 750?

[sharp moss]

when u get to far to the front or back it say out of range so how thry do it then if its not mods

[lime kettle]

oh do you mean how do you build parts that you usually wouldn't be able to on your corvette?

[solid hawk]

If what Fin said, Beyond Base Building

[solid hawk]

Search Nexus Mods for the term refiner

[sharp moss]

Yeah

[shy needle]

I tried but I didn't find it there, so I hoped someone here had one that isn't available on nexus

[lime kettle]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1096 here you go

[rose osprey]

is there a mod that allows holding A/D to increase inventory crafting quickly? clicking A/D 500 times for 500 metal plating for a new farm is gonna make my keyboard explode

[vale iron]

Refiner input and output are hardcoded I believe

[shy needle]

oh okay

that probably explains why there is no mods on nexus that would change that

[abstract karma]

Anyone know a mod to increase the base (Planetary) Max parts limit?

[solid hawk]

Transcender is the only one that has ever been able to increase this. Be aware, free version does NOT have higher build limits. https://www.patreon.com/posts/transcender-no-130465541

[hexed portal]

Is there a mod that removes the terrain damage that sentinels cause with their volley shots? They're eating holes in the base I just flattened out XD.

I found one, but it's outdated

[solid hawk]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3389 you'll need to run the script through AMUMSS to generate the mod.

[worthy crest]

@fresh arch Hello! I have seen your autophage unlocker mod. I wouldn't mind having them pre-unlocked on a new save, rather than have to run the storyline all over again. I am guessing it still works fine, because it seems there were a few peeps who think it doesn't? Does it just unlock cosmetics or also the ability to see autopgage?

[abstract karma]

Ty I’ll check it out!

[jaunty sparrow]

whenever i load a sandworm from a save editor it just keeps spinning in circles

how can i fix this?

i have fixed it nvm!

[solid hawk]

Feel free to share how you fixed it, to maybe help others in future. 🙂

[spice orbit]

Are there any mods that help put settlements (esp. autophage settlements) on the planet you want rather than whatever the game wants?

I have a paradise planet in a purple system that just doesn't want to spawn a settlement and it's driving me nuts becaus the system it's in is so perfect.

[hearty wasp]

no

[neon nova]

Has anyone made a mod that let's you grow the extra plants in the game? Impulse Beans, Hexaberry, etc. I wanna go round in my corvette growing and making food but dislike the loop of having to constantly find these items

[dull marlin]

Has anyone modded this thing into a companion at all?

[hearty wasp]

don't think this is a creature

[hearty wasp]

Eucli-ea has em

the snappoints are prolly broken as shit tho

blame hg

[neon nova]

Makes sense I guess, still a bit of a shame they never added it officially though, it's kept me away from a lot of the cooking stuff

[hearty wasp]

prolly encouraging exploration or something idk

[gentle cloud]

Any mods that unlock all legacy base parts, for those like me who weren't able to unlock them all back then?

[hearty wasp]

MILF does

there's an exml based one too I think

[abstract karma]

The upload limit increase has been removed :( ty though

[abstract karma]

Any ideas other than Transcender plugin?

[vale iron]

Nothing does nor can

And the max parts is still listed on the Transcender site. What do you mean it's been removed?

[solid hawk]

Yeah, as previously mentioned, that's the only thing that has ever been able to remove said limit

Choice of one

[abstract karma]

Ah rip, i guess we now have no options, unless HG blesses us
Thanks for the responses though <3

[vale iron]

Ah, thanks. I'm sure he'll update the site soon. Yeah, I was a bit worried about that bypassing the 3000 limit part

[abstract karma]

Yeah, i see the reasoning and i understand, just annoying when trynna build a large community scale base

[supple sparrow]

knock knock!
y’all have any good mod suggestions?
(Shaders, stuff for custom corvettes (did i spell that right?) and anything else)

[hot ember]

sigh, another one of those
we can't know what you'll like and what you need for your game, open Nexus, sort by recently updated, shop around
or look up a collection that's updated for Voyagers and grab that

[shy portal]

how many times your game crashed?

[hot ember]

who are you asking
my game hasn't crashed a single time as long as my mods were up to date

[vale iron]

Finally finished:
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3805

[frigid grove]

Haha, I love mods in the genre of "wait, this isn't in the base game?!"

[shy portal]

finally a god send mod

[thick thunder]

another peak gumsk mod

[rose osprey]

is there a mod that allows us to press and hold A/D to increase what we're crafting instead of clicking it X number of times?

[vale iron]

Let me know if it works. Two people have said their corvette won't land. I tested on three bases on two saves, public and experimental and had no problems, so I need more data.

[shy portal]

landing works for me, and beam down also works, but when im beam back to corvette it crashed

[vale iron]

Strange, I tested that as well on both. Thanks for the info. I'll just have to keep collecting reports

[uneven bloom]

hi there is cutomising site nms center but its payable so does anyone decode seeds number so i can change seeds code manullay to change color for eg?

[vale iron]

No, it's not possible to break them apart like that

[uneven bloom]

ah crap thx then for letting me know buddy

[supple sparrow]

i read that in the most disappointing tone and im sorry-
But ight. Danke

[candid pollen]

is there anyone here thats using more visible corvette effects mod? I wanted to know if I can tweak it so it only mods engines and reactors

[vale iron]

If it's an EXML, as it should be, it's a very simple and straightforward edit

[candid pollen]

yeah but idk the normal values

for other properties, i only want two on 20 idk the rest

[vale iron]

Just delete the lines you don't want changed from vanilla

[candid pollen]

oh okay

it wont affect the base corvette parts?

[vale iron]

EXML mods are just patches. You tell it what you want changed and the game takes care of it. If you remove the lines you don't want to change, the game won't get those instructions and will only make the changes you left

[candid pollen]

Thank you for taking the time to answer me 🙏

[flint yacht]

its there any mod that gives more colour customization for the exosuit?

[hearty wasp]

You can add colours yourself with the Getting Head lua

[red pebble]

can someone give me a worm egg please

[finite tinsel]

I'm not fast enough to even scan worms let alone get an egg from one lol that's quite a bounty

[abstract karma]

#nms-lfg-or-trades

[red pebble]

I did but it's a mos

[remote merlin]

Hey, is there a way to make NMS run in the background?

Maybe via a mod?

[wet sigil]

I'll ask this here too, because it's possibly related to modding. Is there a way to manually edit a corvette design, from outside the game? I need to delete a part.

[final hazel]

Do you mean something like this? https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3308

[remote merlin]

That's exactly what im looking for

if it works that's fantastic

[wet sigil]

Specifically because said part is lodged in the floor and can't be highlighted to delete it.

[final hazel]

Save editing would allow you to do that, you could look up the part's ID in the list of parts for that base and delete it's entry. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2598 this would help do that, but it's graphics aren't updated for Voyagers

[final hazel]

So you were able to finalize a design with that there?

[wet sigil]

Yes. Can't even delete the whole corvette to get rid of it. XD

There's a bug where a part that can't be installed due to spacing, briefly flashes green as it snaps into position, then immediately goes back to red. Exploiting that, I was able to half-lodge parts in the floor previously, with the diagonal offset. This time I wanted a slightly raised platform to place a gun on. I... didn't quite expect this outcome, though perhaps I should have. :P

[timber monolith]

If I save edit in a new freighter over my existing one, will the base follow?

[final hazel]

No, the base is tied to the base entry it uses

Though I have no idea how "exporting" them works, but I doubt it brings the base along

[tawny ermine]

hey guys i could use some help

so i've try to use the mod where you can build a bigger corvette ship

i've put it in the Mods folder
D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA
like this

but this mod and the few other simlply don't work

[solemn cairn]

Hey maybe someone here can help. Is there a way of resetting the games way of handling mods? I used the Beyond Base Building mod and it went finde. Now all of the sudden it does not. 🤷‍♂️

[tawny ermine]

let me guess

they where working fine

[hearty wasp]

#nms-modding message troubleshooting section

[tawny ermine]

and sudently stop working?

[solemn cairn]

Yep

[tawny ermine]

like me

where you using Vortex?

cause even when i put my mods manually into the MODS folder

[solemn cairn]

Yes

[tawny ermine]

they doesn't work

xD

so i got the same problem

[hot ember]

you haven't followed instructions to un-disable mods, or you've re-disabled them after you crashed

[tawny ermine]

well i did not crash

they just stop working when i've launche the game after maybe One week only

so yeah is there a way to reset the mods or something liek that?

[solemn cairn]

You need to:
Delete the Binaries\SETTINGS\GCMODSETTINGS.MXML file.[1] When you launch NMS again, it will recreate the file.

[tawny ermine]

ok cool thx for the help

[hot ember]

they prob disable themselves after you update the game
my game doesn't do that though

[tawny ermine]

ohh ok i see

cause when the game launch

i have the warning that i use a modded version

[tawny ermine]

i did it

clear the mod folder

re instal the mods

but still don't work

[hearty wasp]

post MODS folder, include the highlighted details

[tawny ermine]

ok so i just need to delete the old one ?

(sorry i still have some trouble to understand 100% everything i'm french)

cause i don't have a Mods folder in PCBANKS

[hexed portal]

The mods folder should not be in PCBANKS, it should only be in GAMEDATA

The picture he sent is outdated

[tawny ermine]

ok so they are in the good folder

[hexed portal]

You don't even need to delete that file. Just open the GCMODSETTINGS.MXML file using a txt editor (Windows has a Notepad app built into it that works just fine). Check that "<Property name="DisableAllMods" value="false" />" is present and says "false" not "true."

[hearty wasp]

Move the folders inside those respective folders to directly under the MODS folder

[hearty wasp]

Yeeting the file regenerates the load order which makes sure the mods are loaded properly

[tawny ermine]

so he was already like this

[hearty wasp]

Which is why most guides recommend that

[tawny ermine]

i didn't touch anything

[hexed portal]

Yeah, so all of those folders should have extra folders in them that are the actual mod. You unzipped the archive folders, but didn't move the actual mods outside. You can tell by the strings of numbers and letters after the folder name.

You want the folder inside them instead

[tawny ermine]

oooohhhhh shiiiii

xD

ok let me try

oh and if there is a subfolder?

like this for exemple

[hearty wasp]

Just the folders inside the ones currently directly under MODS

[hexed portal]

So, for instance: Inside the "BuildableShip 99999 EXML" folder there should be this folder. This is the one you want.

[hexed portal]

Oh. Yeah XD

[tawny ermine]

ok and for this one?

[hearty wasp]

This one doesn't work at all

[tawny ermine]

ooh okay

[hearty wasp]

The game doesn't load paks anymore

[hexed portal]

Keep in mind that some mods have different versions. Make sure you're reading mod pages thoroughly because you can only have one version of each mod.

[tawny ermine]

oh i see

[hearty wasp]

No mod made before feb 2025 works

[tawny ermine]

yeah i have see that

ok so hold up i will try launch the game

[hexed portal]

Many mods haven't been updated to the newer modding system. Mods that are .pak files cannot be loaded. Oftentimes, you'll be able to find an updated version of .pak mods uploaded by other authors.

[hearty wasp]

One of the supposed advantages of vortex installation is that it should install the mods properly for you

So mistakes like this don't happen

GCMODDSETTINGS will remain an issue tho because vortex doesn't just change that when you launch, only wjen you deploy afaik

[tawny ermine]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

IT WORK

a huge thx to you guys

[hexed portal]

A good way to confirm what type of mod you're looking at without downloading and searching the archive is to check the file contents on Nexus before downloading. If a mod has a ".EXML" or a ".MBIN" file, it should work in the current game version.

[hexed portal]

Vortex is a pain in the ass in itself. In my opinion, it only causes more confusion. Especially with people who aren't already coming from mod managers to begin with or don't have experience with Bethesda modding. Not to mention, learning manual modding first is always better in case they want to mod other games that aren't supported by mod managers.

[tawny ermine]

Ok i’ll keep that in mind next Time xD

[hexed portal]

I mod most games I play, but I refuse to go back to Skyrim because mod managers are more of a pain to work with than simply manual install.

[tawny ermine]

Hell yeah

[hearty wasp]

It's supposed to work fine after 5.50 first came out because we did communicate with some of the Nexus team about it, but yeah they do just implement whatever they think is most suitable and sometimes it's not the best way. Still it's marginally more user friendly imo

[hexed portal]

Manual is basically drag+drop and minimal troubleshooting. Mod managers are load order optimization, mod merging, conflict resolution, deploying, more .exes than you know what to do with, etc. lol. It's really only useful when working in great quantities. No Man's Sky has basically no conflicts. Similar to Minecraft. Everything works with each other for the most part and it's really simple to find a problem mod without the hassle of a mod manager.

Though, Minecraft is a bad example since it uses curseforge XD. But curseforge is probably the best example of a mod manager that I've ever seen. One-click installing, virtually no need to troubleshoot, no load order sorting. It does it all for you.

MO2 and Vortex do not XD

[vale iron]

I keep hearing people have the unzip problem with vortex, but it always works for me. I wonder if it's something about using symlinks or not?

[tawny ermine]

yes curseforge is amazing

[abstract karma]

interesting, my game crashed due to Vram maxing out
And it decided to disable all mods for me
No i did not get the pop up asking if i want to disable all mods to attempt to fix

[sharp junco]

Hello there, I'm currently waiting the 24hrs for my first living ship, if I mod the game to do (or get) previous community Mission content do I risk to break something?

[mossy monolith]

Hey modders I had a question. Is there a guide that can explain how modding works and the file types involved?

[hearty wasp]

#nms-modding message

[mossy monolith]

ty

[sharp junco]

@hearty wasp do I break the game if I install some mod to get past community Mission items in the store? (Also, which mod is the best to have them unlocked and ready to buy?)

[hearty wasp]

no

basically no mod can

[sharp junco]

No mod can break the timer (so I'm safe) or you mean no mod let me obtain past community mission's stuff and they're lost forever?

[hearty wasp]

you asked if mods can "break the game"

not the timer

if you want rewards then get consumerism

[sharp junco]

I'm worried about the timer, I don't want to risk to lose the living ships in my main save 😅

[sharp junco]

Oh, perfect thanks

[final hazel]

If you use https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1921, I believe it cannot break

[sharp junco]

Top thanks

[final hazel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2062 allows previous Community Expedition rewards to be bought using Quicksilver from the Space Anomaly's Quicksilver Synthesis Companion
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3420 is an optional mod that makes all items added to the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion via Consumerism free

[sharp junco]

[ember adder]

Do we have mods for move item and have auto arrange?

[candid pollen]

Is there any mod for creature eggs? specifically flying ones

[icy bane]

Is there a mod that adds transform gizmo?

It would be VERY helpful with buildings

[heavy merlin]

[rotund hound]

Does anyone have information on converting ship seeds to parts?

[solid hawk]

No and not possible. Mods can't make changes to save-data where inventory is help.

[solid hawk]

No

[solid hawk]

No and not possible

[devout ridge]

hi

[solid hawk]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

You won't get anything specific on converting the seed data, but can use the bot to make custom ships

[devout ridge]

how do i make my ship cool?

[rotund hound]

yeah i am aware of this

i posted in the modding channel because i am looking to create something similar, not just use what already exists

thank you for the help though

[devout ridge]

do u know how to make a "ball ship"

a ship with only a cockpit

[cobalt condor]

In the save editor, you should see a filepath to the model of your ship. Just change it to either models\common\spacecraft\scientific\canopy\canopya\canopya.scene.mbin (explorer cockpit) or models\common\spacecraft\s-class\royalparts\cockpit\cockpit_a.scene.mbin (exotic cockpit)

[hexed portal]

Any chance there's a mod that changes the amount of save slots for the Appearance Customizer?

3 is just too few

[hearty wasp]

can't

I've heard someone having the idea of using the presets instead but don't think that actually went anywhere

because users will prolly just not have the knowledge to write in the IDs ig

[hexed portal]

Ah darn. I wish there were more lol

So odd that there's only 3

[hexed portal]

How about a mod that enables melee in stations and other places that usually disable melee? I want to melee dash in stations lol

[vale iron]

No, and no one reputable would publish one due to the potential for abuse

[hexed portal]

Abuse? In what way?

There are plenty of mods that make your walk speed and flight speed faster, how is that any different?

[vale iron]

Ability to attack in places that aren't intended to allow attacking? Hmm what could possibly go wrong ;p

There have been only one or two people that were somehow banned from NMS and it was due to exactly that

[hexed portal]

What is there to attack? The only things that spawn in space stations are npcs

[vale iron]

Really? Players

[hexed portal]

Well, the Anomaly is the only place where you can see players, no? I play offline all the time, so I wouldn't know. Also, isn't pvp toggleable?

It just seems arbitrary to ban people for pvp in the anomaly when it's able to be opted out of.

The only other time I've seen players is during the weekend mission. I don't see the difference in allowing pvp on those planets, but not in the anomaly.

Either way, you're voluntarily opting into getting killed lol

[vale iron]

Pvp is toggleable, but you can see other players anywhere

I take it you don't have a permadeath save that was deleted because someone was in a minotaur in the Nexus Anomaly shooting at people. You may not see a problem, but all reputable modders would and would steer way clear of it

We exist at the pleasure of HG. Don't poke the bear unless you want all mods disabled

[vale iron]

No, a default opt-in is not the same as a voluntary opt-in

[hexed portal]

Well, that's just stupid. Why would you have pvp on alongside permadeath lol. You're asking for a lost save then lol. Aren't all permadeath players in a different instance than everyone else anyway?

[vale iron]

Because you don't know that it defaults on

[hexed portal]

If it's toggleable, you have every opportunity to turn it off, it's absolutely voluntary.

[vale iron]

Maybe you haven't spent enough time in the community to see it, but many people show up bitching about dying and having no idea that pvp even existed nor that they can turn it off

[hexed portal]

It's your own fault for not looking in the multiplayer settings. It's clearly displayed in the multiplayer menu, there's really no "I didn't know it was there" excuse unless you're a brand new player.

[rotund hound]

If PvP is toggleable it's almost certainly done server sided and any changes to toggling PvP on the client won't matter

[vale iron]

I understand that you don't see the possible issue. You don't need to try to convince me that you don't think it's an issue. I'm going to stop trying to convince you that it's a issue because you clearly think it's a tight to be able to attack people

[rotund hound]

Wdym no?

[vale iron]

You also don't understand how the NMS files work

[hexed portal]

What? PvP is toggleable clientside XD

[vale iron]

There is no server side for stuff like this

[rotund hound]

Uhhh

Are you serious?

You do know how multiplayer works right?

Is it peer to peer?

[vale iron]

There is matchmaking, discovery, expeditions, and a tiny bit of connection obfuscation

It is peer to peer with a tiny bit of networking obfuscation in the middle

[rotund hound]

Odd choice

[vale iron]

One player is the host and the rest are the clients

[rotund hound]

That's incredibly surprising

[vale iron]

It's primarily a single player game with multiplayer stuck on top of it

By an indie that can't afford to server side check all this traffic

[hexed portal]

That doesn't make any sense. Especially when it comes to discoveries. Discovering a planet sends the info to the server, which sends it to the clients.

[vale iron]

... Did you not see where I said discovery?

[hexed portal]

I thought you were saying that was peer to peer

[vale iron]

No the only server based stuff are the things I mentioned

It's why the player cap on instances depends on the hardware of the host peer

Current gen can host 32, old gen only 16

[hexed portal]

Well anyway, connection methods are irrelevant to the discussion anyway. Point is, PvP is voluntary. Even if it wasn't, it's pretty dumb that there isn't a safeguard in place to prevent all kinds of damage in non-pvp areas in the event that someone does find a way around the attack blocking code.

[vale iron]

There are safeguards, more than there used to be due to past bypassing of safeguards. Making a mod to allow people to attack in safe areas would be one step on the way to bypassing those safeguards again

[fathom hedge]

Where did No man sky stores the file related to space station and Anomaly mesh/map layout?

[vale iron]

MODELS/SPACE/STATION and /NEXUS, respectively

For stations, you want type B, back section

Nexus pathing is pretty self explanatory

[hexed portal]

So you're telling me that it's incredibly difficult to get close to abusing such mods to begin with, yet a mod that allows melee for faster traversal still gets you banned? Yeah, like I said before, I don't get it.

[vale iron]

It's not a mod to allow faster travel. It's a mod to allow attacking, that you want to use for faster travel

[fathom hedge]

Very new to the whole NMS modding, want to see if it is possible to grab the Nexus Corvette landing pad, rip its 3d model/mesh and turn it into a buildable base building part.

[vale iron]

Yes, I'm working on it currently and will be publishing it soon. I've got a headstart on you 😉

Search for biggs

[hexed portal]

Right, and despite the supposed plethora of safeguards against pvp in these areas, if I were use that mod solely for faster traversal (like most others would), I'm prone to being banned simply because a select few might abuse it. Still not seeing the logic XD.

Anyway, I'm heading to bed

[vale iron]

Is there some prehistoric cross between a raven and awesome dinosaur of which I'm not aware? Those are my two favorite creatures

[vale iron]

You wouldn't be banned for using it that way; someone that abused it would be banned. Modders need to consider how their mods might be used and self regulate to avoid HG turning off modding completely because we caused more trouble than we were worth. Anyway, sleep well and I'm happy for a polite debate.

[fathom hedge]

No, it is just my username. :(

[vale iron]

Damn. You are now required to become a genetic engineer and create it

It's a good name though

[hexed portal]

Developers rarely ever pull the plug on modding as a whole due to user abuse. I can't think of a single instance of this. Even arrowhead allows HD2 mods despite all the super credit duplication hacks that have surfaced.

[fathom hedge]

Speaking of that, you might want to consider enlarging that Anomaly Landing pad by 4% due to this

[vale iron]

I look at our relationship with HG as a gentlemen's agreement. We add value and they let us because it helps them and the players. If our actions cause too much trouble, it's easier for them to just turn it off (see Mac version) than deal with it on a case by case basis. Larger companies have more resources to deal with critical issues than HG does. For example, the corvette complexity removal mod is causing a lot of problems for multiplayer currently. I want there to be a higher cap than 100, but unlimited is not sustainable. They need to disable that.

[vale iron]

The ramp clipping?

[fathom hedge]

Not the clipping, but the ramp is outside the landing pad itself.

[vale iron]

Is that from the entry piece or built into the pad?

What's it called, not landing gear, the ramp piece to enter the corvette

[fathom hedge]

With many isolated stress testing, those habitation modules seems to have significantly higher computational cost than anything else.
Managed to have my stress testing corvette completely bugs out at ~397 habitation modules.

So all I wish isn't to increases that 100 piece limit, but rather make it only counts habitation modules and landing bays

[vale iron]

Or they need to optimize the habs

I think the polygons might be a bit superfluous

[fathom hedge]

The landing bays

[vale iron]

Thanks

Is that landing bay at the extreme outer limits of the build area?

[fathom hedge]

Pretty much.
The other 2 super outliers are Titan heavy Booster at the back and Arcadia Heavy booster at the front, at which the latter will be up to 64 units from the center

[vale iron]

Fyi, if you plan to make a corvette landing pad, the biggest issue I saw in including the Nexus pad is that there is no collision built into it; it uses a collision from the main Nexus area

Wow, that's a big amount

And the default is already huge

Like, unusable for a base huge

I think for aesthetics I want to use the Nexus pad, add the building terminal and storage, and have to make my own collision

[fathom hedge]

Probably not due to polygon counts, but rather due to those habitation modules having wall logics on each of its wall.
So in terms of raw components, each habitation modules are equals to 11 modules, and each of its wall need recomputing every time the game attempts to redraws the habitation modules, further worsening the loading problem.
In the most raw computational cost sense, each piece of habitation modules have 21 computational unit cost, walkways have 13 computational unit cost, "Thunderbird" landing bay have 9 computation unit cost, and everything else only has 1.

So really the greatest evil of the entire corvette complexity limit would be habitation modules and landing gears that is attached to the habitation modules (And by extension, windows, cockpit and the internal compomets that snaps to the corvette walls).

[vale iron]

I haven't noticed interact points causing problems, but I maybe haven't had enough in one place. I don't think the wall snap points are the issue, but it could be. Really, I think it's just number of parts, even above number of polygons

[fathom hedge]

I tried to build those "Disk shaped" corvette that's made entirly out of habitation modules.
The game begins to lag at around ~100 habitation modules, and get really bad by the ~130 modules.
I straight up drop to single digit frames at ~300. The end result took over 9 sec to load.

Meanwhile my 400+ turret and engine corvette never lags, loads within 1 sec.

[vale iron]

Those have as many locators, but fewer snaps. I think they also have fewer polygons though, so hard to say. I can open them when I get home to see

I wish they'd get rid of the 4 shoot locator limit, would help my custom ships too

[dense vault]

Is there a mod for utilizing all 1000u of my base? I keep having the game deny my extensions, or deny changes on any existing extensions.

I have my one of my mining ops between 3 mining hotspots , all within the 1000u range, and the game keeps denying me access to building outside of like 300u of my base. No other players in the area, of course.

[fathom hedge]

Corvette size for both 40 units build limit (Green, default) and 44.999603271484375 units build limit (Red, maximum safe size), both radius.
The Space station Corvette landing pad have a size of 120x120 units square (Blue line).
Maximum coverage by Corvette habitation modules is 52units radius/18 Corvette modules units on both build limit.
The absolute furthest point you can stand within the habitation modules from the center is 51 units/56 units from the center point.
The absolute furthest hitbox from the center point is 62 units/67.5 units from the center point.
At 40 units build limit, it is impossible for anything to clip past the next corvette workshop landing pads without abusing green-red timming glitch, while for ~45 units build limit, it is possible to clip up to 4 units toward the front and the back of the corvette workshop aera with the Titan and Arcaida booster.

Which means (Corrected due to Math brain fart):
At the default corvette landing pad size of 120x120 units, 44.999603271484375 units build limit is just barley small enough to prevent a player from possibly getting swept by another corvette when said player is standing at the centerfront-most hab module.
At the 40 units default build limit, you can safely shrink the corvette landing pad down to 112x112 units without the corvette hitbox hitting the player on another corvette problem.

The Anomaly landing pad is ~112x112 units in size, slightly smaller than the Space station Corvette landing pad, scaling that by 6% should make it neatly snaps with each other at 120x120 units.

[vale iron]

Interesting. I guesstimated 50u for the offset of the landing zone in my recent mod, but even at 65% size, it feels like the corvette could easily extend beyond that, possibly by quite a bit

[warm rose]

Hey what is one of thr mods that allows for like a bigger corvette limit

[pearl night]

hello entities, I try to find a mod that will help gather mooore milk.
I think there is not a single mod that alters the amount of milk creatures make or a multiplier for the Livestock Unit.. any ideas??

[abstract karma]

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

[fathom hedge]

Increases Corvette complexity limit:
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3701

Increases Corvette building radius:
Go to the No man sky MOD folder in \No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA\MODS
Go to the same Mod folder as the Increases Corvette complexity limit one.
Make a folder named GLOBALS
Inside the GLOBALS folder, make file GCBUILDABLESHIPGLOBALS.GLOBAL.EXML and GCBUILDINGGLOBALS.GLOBAL.EXML
Copy-Paste the following into those two files:
GCBUILDINGGLOBALS.GLOBAL.EXML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Data template="cGcBuildingGlobals">
    <Property name="BuildingPlacementMaxShipBaseRadius" value="44.999603271484375" />
</Data>

DISCLAIMER: Since there are now many reports about modded Corvette crashing other player's game, if your corvette has:
Over 100 Habitation modules, or
Build anything beyond the 60 unit clearances limit imposed by the Space Station landing pad
Have some self-disiclipine and do not enable muiltiplayer.

[vale iron]

I'm pretty sure that doesn't actually affect building radius. I could be wrong

[abstract karma]

wow way to show me up smh /j

[abstract karma]

oh the mod? no, still have station pad limits, but no part limit with this

[vale iron]

I mean the BuildingPlacementMaxShipBaseRadius thing

[abstract karma]

ohhh, i'll be quiet then xD

[vale iron]

I don't know for sure, I jsut think so

If it does work, I hope they block it. There are too many issues right now with people negatively affecting everyone else's performance

[abstract karma]

yeah, i've seen some just ludicrously large Corvettes in the anomaly and had no choice but to leave before my pc turned into a heating unit

[fathom hedge]

I have done some testing on my side.

400 Habitation modules (Ever so slightly above the current limit) will crash Xbox one and PS4
500 Habitation modules will crash PS4 Pro, Xbox One X, Switch 2, Steamdeck and Any Z1E/Z2E based handhelds.
600 Habitation modules will likely crashes ANY devices.
Estimated by intentionally handicapping my HX370 handheld on an offline instances, no one else is harmed

[vale iron]

They look cool, but they screw up everyone else in a narcissistic way

[hot ember]

even vanilla corvettes tank performance when your anomaly instance has 2 or more of them near the limit, no idea how HG hasn't thought of testing that

[fathom hedge]

Likely HG did not expect people building a corvette made entirely out of habitation modules.
Those modules have like 21x the processing stress as everything else.

There is also the wounder projecter too, and that thing have no limit

[hot ember]

why have QA when it could be outsourced to players, for free, right

[vale iron]

You could have full QA, if you never want to see another update again

Considering their resources

[fathom hedge]

But speaking of the whole complexity limit thing, they should have change how the complexity thing are calculated.

Instead of just the corvette modules contributing to complexity limit, everything will be counted toward the limit like the launch.

• Habitation modules cost 21 complexity.
• Walkways modules cost 13 complexity.
• "Thunderbird" landing bay and Wounder Projector cost 8 complexity.
• All Interior Modules, Cockpits and landing bay cost 3 complexity.
• Everything else cost 1 complexity.
  Then you will have 2000 complexity budgets, and once you ran out of that complexity budgets, you can't build anything, including internal stuffs.

With this change, you should be able to build far more complex corvette while drastically lowers the amount of damage an oversized corvette can do.

[formal coral]

Hey guys, what do i do with seed? im hunting for specific starship weapon

[hot ember]

same fundamental problem Star Citizen devs have, I see, not surprising

I couldn't even begin to think of mentioning forgiveness and HG in the same sentence but that's a personal take nobody's interested in (definitely not the people invested in the game enough to be modding it)

[tropic ferry]

Hello can someone teach me about modding

I wanna get this helmet but idk anything about modding

And I'm scared to mess up my game and I can't multiplayer or something

[vale iron]

Star citizen has literally orders of magnitude more employees and money

[vale iron]

Modding won't mess up your game or multiplayer. You want either a save editor or the mod Consumerism from Nexus mods

[tropic ferry]

What's a save editor?

[dense vault]

NomNom is one of the more popular ones, it allows you to change things about your save and characters.

[tropic ferry]

But is that mod like in game items or community custom stuff

[tropic ferry]

All I want in no man sky is this outfit that's all

And I want other players to see me like that as well

[dense vault]

I'd recommend Consumerism on Nexus, like Gumsk suggested. It allows you to buy anything from preivous missed events using Quicksilver. We can't link it here. Doesn't change much else, and won't affect multiplayer.

[magic lava]

You can link it, you cant use masked links

[alpine ermine]

wait nms has mods?????

[magic lava]

Yep

[alpine ermine]

woah

[magic lava]

Check pins for helpful stuff

[waxen heron]

which rewards from older expeditions i cant get offline?

[vale iron]

None. All rewards can be claimed offline, I believe. The Starborn Phoenix and twitch rewards do server checks so you have to stay offline to bypass that check

[waxen heron]

so there are no milestones that give anything good that require online mode?

and does steam offline mode work or do i have to turn my wifi off to play the expeditions

[frigid grove]

I replaced all the online-only milestones. There will be notes about what has been fixed before you download.

[frigid grove]

Steam's offline mode works

[waxen heron]

tysm!

[frigid grove]

Though I am assuming you're using my site, but this is all explained on there so maybe not. Just to be safe, grab the latest versions of the files from here: https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/

[waxen heron]

im using this one

so yeah its yours

[solid hawk]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3582

[fathom hedge]

I crashed at least three times trying to do a community mission.
Turned off multiplayer and the game is perfectly fine.

[hearty wasp]

Sounds like game bug and not a mod bug

[waxen heron]

if im doing expedition one and i change my PC date to skip the wait for frigates, wont it delete the expedition?

[final hazel]

If mods are available, I'd significantly advise just using this https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1921

!faq-time

[hardy aurora]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

Should I adjust my system time?

No! Messing with your system clock has the potential to break every single thing that relies on a real timer. Settlements, frigate missions, farms, mines, freighter battles and time gates such as the Starbirth Quest. Just don't do it.

Contributors: The Atlas

[waxen heron]

i changed time like 6 times total on one save now…

but ty imma check that out tomorrow

[still agate]

can someone recommend me an good save editor ?

[final hazel]

https://github.com/goatfungus/nmssaveeditor and https://github.com/zencq/NomNom which are both linked in the pins #nms-modding message

[abstract karma]

@vale iron Hey! Does your Corvette landing pad work in mp cases? ie: An uploaded base?

[final hazel]

It should, given that the visiting player also has the mod installed

If the visiting player does not have the mod installed, the small paving will act as it normally does

[abstract karma]

ah okay, i see, thats sick either way! Thank you ^-^

[hexed portal]

Anyone know of a mod like this one that's up to date? https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/889?tab=posts

I've found like 3 different ones, but they all use .paks

[final hazel]

There's this one https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2436 which at least works for planetary charts

Also on PC, you can skip all versions of that by binding a number to Toggle Camera View, and pressing that when these animations play

[hexed portal]

Oh! I didn't know that skipped it. I already have a button bound to that XD

[final hazel]

It skips all other camera animations while you technically have control, like the portal camera returning to the player (and most other "return to player slowly" motions)

[mint oar]

is there a VR mod that attaches the hud to your head?

[final hazel]

Mods cannot add new functionality like that, no

[summer spire]

Any good mods that keep vanilla style but improve overall experience?

Graphics etc

[scarlet flume]

Hello. From what I've seen in my short time modding NMS, I heard the tool AMUMMS mentioned quite a bit. Is that the tool used to update mods to be used with the latest version of the game? How does it work?

[hexed portal]

To my knowledge, it simply merges mods so that they're compatible. But I've been told that it's rarely ever needed due to the way mods work now

[cobalt condor]

AMUMMS is a mod builder. If a mod includes a lua script for AMUMMS, it can rebuild the mod from the game's files, creating a new version of the mod that's updated for the current game.

[scarlet flume]

See, I've been browsing nexusmods and see some cool mods from like, 7-8 months ago, and while an "update page" like Lo2k's that says which of his mods are up-to-date, majority have no hints as to whether it'll break the current game build or not. I heard people "self-update" mods so I'm curious to know if I can figure out which mods I download needs updates, and how to do it myself

[cobalt condor]

Multiple scripts can also be run together, allowing AMUMMS to combine multiple mods into one. This is very rarely necessary with how the game's modding system works now, as the game is able to merge most mods at runtime, depending on what types of files they change.

[scarlet flume]

Or is there like a cut-off date where I can consider all mods after said date should work indefinitely and all mods before said date will not work without being manually updated? Since I read somewhere that modding has changed with 6.0

[hexed portal]

As long as a mod has the EXML file structure, it should work in the current version. I have yet to find any of those that don't work. If it's a .pak, then it won't work in the current version. Perhaps AMUMMS can update those if there's a .lua but I'm not certain.

[cobalt condor]

most mods from Worlds Part II or later (so from January of this year onwards) should work fine. It's a case by case basis though, less simple mods will often still have files that need updating after major updates.

If a mod is recent enough and there's nobody in the Nexus Mods comment section complaining that it's broken, it probably still works.

[hexed portal]

Basically, if it looks like this, 9 times out of 10, it'll work now.

It may have more subfolders and files, but that's the structure you're looking for

[scarlet flume]

I see. I'll keep that in mind as I browse. 😄 Thanks guys!

The audio killed my ears

[supple elk]

Can you use a save editor to redo quest lines you've already completed?

[cinder oyster]

Just wondering are any of the scene viewers updated for the new update?

[quasi dust]

would anyone be willing(if its doable) to make a mod whereby one may have a squadron without owning a freighter? i play with harsh mods and obtaining a freighter is far ahead of me but i wana pirate and would like to have som help in the skies

[vale iron]

You could probably put the squadron management terminal somewhere else, but I think the game does a check from the EXE if you have a freighter, which we wouldn't be able to touch.

Could maybe just set a flag somewhere to "hasfreighter=true" or something

[vale iron]

Model Viewer and NMSDK are both working

[pine sierra]

Does anyone know if it's possible to mod the freighter rooms so they don't have the annoying walls/corners between them if you place different kinds of rooms next to each other?

[hearty wasp]

no but I don't think they'd be very difficult to yeet

[vale iron]

Freighter rooms? They will take out walls dynamically if you use rooms of the same type

two tech rooms won't have a wall between them

[haughty knoll]

Are there any mods that make distant planets stand out more in the sky?

In nms they're most of the time black circles with a glow around them

[pine sierra]

yea, i don't want that. I want all the rooms to be like that and be able to put all my walls in separately.

[quasi dust]

i see. i may just accept i need a freighter in that case, perhaps take the free one even tho i wish theyd nerf that

[rancid fern]

hello if Im already in an expedition can I still play the previous (Modded) expedition?

whilst playing the current expedition?

[solid hawk]

Guessing no. Finish the one you're on first.

[frigid grove]

On another save, yes. Just don't load a save when the wrong expedition config is loaded or the other expedition you're on will abruptly end.

[mint robin]

What does the description of Snappy Industry mean when it mentions "cargo ship holds and external platforms"?

[waxen heron]

what should i put here in vortex (nexus mod manager)? i downloaded the mission timer redux mod and something is wrong

[hearty wasp]

Nothing

Describe what is that "something" and what is wrong with it

[waxen heron]

check dms

[hearty wasp]

No

You should describe your issue here so everyone who reads can help

[waxen heron]

so now as i click deploy mods it says this

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1419754454676410459/1419754573773668382/image.png?ex=68d2e8fc&is=68d1977c&hm=1262ecac1a14c7d2da3dbcd1de2a82047790fda50e1a1f1b4bf0bb5c31dbbec9&

when i fix it it still doesnt work

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1419754454676410459/1419754677704196217/image.png?ex=68d2e914&is=68d19794&hm=0ef64b4def956792c67d26cd9f2231dacb358184b01cfb8de4746f8d3defc553&

am i missing something?

wait i cant send the pictures

[hearty wasp]

After you chose it, does it display another error

And have you tried symlink deployment instead

[waxen heron]

wdym symlink

[waxen heron]

still this

dont mind the overlay

[hearty wasp]

The other option on the list should be symlink deployment

[hearty wasp]

Huh weird

Either way have you clicked deploy again after setting these?

[waxen heron]

yeah

still doesnt work

[hearty wasp]

Does it spit out just that warning?

[waxen heron]

just that

wait

it worked

randomly

i spammed the deploy button

and its okay now

[hearty wasp]

It probably just needed time to deploy

[waxen heron]

maybe

btw how do i actually use the mission timer redux mod

does it do the work by itself

or is there a button for like a menu for it or sum

[hearty wasp]

It just reduce the timer internally

You shouldn't need to do anything

[waxen heron]

okay, tysm for all the help

[novel monolith]

is there any way to pull the 3D models for the corvettes, or any of the ships for that matter. for rendering purposes have a really cool idea i wanna do

[hearty wasp]

Individual parts, sure

[waxen heron]

if i quit the game (while doing older expedition), and i go online without playing the game, will it delete my progress?

[final hazel]

No, as long as you do not open the game while online

If you do open the game while online, your save is safe as long as you do not load it and replace the weird file again and go offline before loading it (as NMS fetches updated expedition info on startup I believe)

[vagrant bone]

how do people make the glitched ships using all kinds of base parts? i want to add some stuff like doors or whatnot to my corvette

[final hazel]

Mostly https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1096

Also https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2598 or https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/984 if more advanced stuff is needed. These haven't been updated for Voyagers but that shouldn't be an issue beyond the new parts having the "error" model

[fiery owl]

anyone know if Gumsk pulled his mod for the Corvette supercomputer? I swear it was up there earlier but now.. I don't see it at all

[final hazel]

This one? https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3779

[fiery owl]

whew thank you. no idea why the page wasn't loading before. but yep thats it!
