[undone mist]

So like I glitch built my portal to be bigger than it usually is and I don’t know how to power it on now, the wire doesn’t snap in place and idk where to put it

[final hazel]

You usually have to buffer the wire placement using something like a rolled carpet built on the wire port

[undone mist]

So do I just put it on the port and put the wire on top of it?

that’s what I saw someone else do with timber floors but it didn’t work for me

[final hazel]

Pretty much, though bigger teleporters may require more weird finnicking

[undone mist]

Do you mean this rolled carpet or something else

[final hazel]

Yes, or the singular one

[undone mist]

thanks I’ll try that right now

[undone mist]

i did set it to the biggest size possible teleporter so I’m not sure how to do it, if it’s too much I’ll just shrink it down it’s fine

nvm I just put a cuboid room under it and covered it up

[vale iron]

Yeah you have to rely on the radius around the item or snap point to make the connection, as the built in snap points don't scale with the object

Some items have a large radius, like cage lights

[sharp oar]

Does anyone know if there is a mod somewhere that increases the stack sizes of refiners? I really like harsh stack sizes in custom mode, but the 150 limit for refiners is a bit too harsh

[next spindle]

my game crashed and i turned off mods, was wondering if anyone knew how to turn mods back on<3

[fathom hedge]

\No Man's Sky\Binaries\SETTINGS\GCMODSETTINGS.MXML
line 3
<Property name="DisableAllMods" value="false" />
If that line is set to true, change it back to false.

[next spindle]

tysm!

[hearty wasp]

just deleting the entire file is what we recommend because it resets the load order as well

[solemn cairn]

Is there a way to turn the reactors (for corvettes) upside-down?

[clever holly]

Can the Game Pass version of No Man's Sky still use mods and save editing?

[rapid sandal]

yes ... unless it's changed recently

[novel monolith]

I meant to respond to this earlier but got caught up with stuff. How would one go about doing so, or can you point me in the right direction as to where I can start. Aka links/videos or documentation on how to do so?

[hearty wasp]

you install NMSDK for blender, import each individual part as a model, and then position them yourself

[novel monolith]

Cool cool thank you, I shall go take a look

[hearty wasp]

you'll need to unpack the game first which you can find instructions for in #nms-modding message Unpacking the Game Files section

and then you'll wanna join the modding discord because the latest working build of NMSDK is an artifact build

Is there a mod to stop menus moving around

[tawny ermine]

hye guys

did someone know why the mod who let you build bigger corvette make the game crash since yesterday?

my bad

was not this one

[lilac holly]

Any mods for a slow walk toggle?

[solid hawk]

Can't really do that, as there's just a single groundwalk speed setting. Could make a mod to set run speed at current walk and walk at much slower than vanilla.

[dull marlin]

Can anyone in this chat add me rq? Im bugged and I need to join someone else to fix my game

[solemn sleet]

I dont think som sadly.

[torpid lynx]

Sadly can't really mod on xbox with out partnering with that one moding website that space engineers is using

But I think hello games would have to do something first

To allow that

[dull marlin]

Do you so happen to be online galaxy?

[torpid lynx]

No if you mean multiplayer

[dull marlin]

Nvm then

[torpid lynx]

I don't have xbox live at the moment

[dull marlin]

Im gonna jump.

[raw linden]

Thank you

[runic pumice]

hi everybody

as i understand it, access to old expeditions is considered modding, can i ask here for help on that one?

[final hazel]

Just follow the steps on this website https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/

[runic pumice]

i can only submit one at a time hey, i was kind of hoping to just flip a switch (so to speak) and let the game know i had completed all previous expeditions

looks like it's done 1 x 1

[cobalt condor]

If you just want the older expedition rewards, you can just use the Consumerism mod. It adds all the rewards to the normal quicksilver store so you can get them without having finished the expeditions.

[final hazel]

Oh, you could just use a save editor to do that

https://github.com/goatfungus/nmssaveeditor or https://github.com/zencq/NomNom work best

Or the Consumerism mod https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2062 to purchase expedition rewards in-game for Quicksilver, or also add Communism which makes all expedition rewards that are buyable using Consumerism free https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3420

[torpid lynx]

It was mod.io

[humble aurora]

Anyone able to get me one of the expedition ships im on console so i csnt use save editor 😪

[hot ember]

#nms-lfg-or-trades

[frigid grove]

Does anyone know off the top of their head if it would be possible and/or easy to mod the main story missions to look for red/green/blue stars that fit the parameters rather than just always yellow? Specifically I'd want to gradually move from yellow to red to green to blue, but that would mean needing to figure out the general "order" of the missions which I assume could be painful as well.

[vale iron]

Anything involving missions is an absolute pain in the ass. It would be on the lower end, though

There are several "requiresX" type booleans

[frigid grove]

ok yeah, sounds similar to some stuff I saw in the expedition json. But a bigger pain in the ass, of course 😆

[vale iron]

For something like that, I think the only pain would be what you mentioned, tracking down the advancement and which number matches what you want

[frigid grove]

@vale iron I was just generally looking for challenge-adding mods as well and noticed this link links to itself: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1626

[vale iron]

Haha, thanks

I think I'll redirect to PtSD?

[frigid grove]

Hm, PTSd sounds like what I'm looking for

[hot ember]

still nothing that would keep the game unpaused when alt-tabbed but paused in photo mode?

[vale iron]

No

[final hazel]

Shouldn't this do that? https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3308

That is what it does for me at least

This mod is different from the mod that disables pausing across the entire game, including in photo mode and menus

[hot ember]

haven't used it yet so I'll give it a go, I use Never Pause as it's part of the collection it came with, and I was told here that the pausing is tied/global

but hey, if it can be made to work separate, great, wouldn't need to compromise

[vale iron]

It's different in what way? Pretty sure that's the same file as the others

Yeah, same file for both

[final hazel]

Yes, it just modifies only one property, whereas the other unpausing mod changes probably many others

[vale iron]

I don't think there are separate values for pausing without focus

[final hazel]

There is, it's in that mod

[vale iron]

I don't feel like downloading them both to find out 😛

[final hazel]

I've never downloaded the all-unpausing so I'm just guessing

I just know the one I use is a single property that exclusively disables the pause on focus loss present on windows

[vale iron]

Seems there's one value in there for focus and one for pause. I could see them working differently by the names

Yeah, AlwaysHaveFocus is set to false. I guess if you set that to true, the game would always have focus and thus not pause on alt+tab, but would still pause on screenshot (if no one else is in the system)

[final hazel]

Yes, the game still acts the same as if you were focused onto it, besides any optimizations like capping it to 30fps when unfocused

[vale iron]

The other is AllowPause, set to True, so setting that to False would make it keep running in both situations I guess

[final hazel]

Forever annoyed that tiny changes like this aren't in-game options but instead scary mods that scare people away due to having the word mod

[vale iron]

Yeah, "tweaks" is better, but can't universally change the terminology 🙁

[hot ember]

can't change mindsets of people who are already set on not wanting to touch game files in any way

[vale iron]

Or that have been brainwashed to believe that "mod=cheating"

[frigid grove]

lol, I love it when people call the expedition generator a cheat because they believe we should uphold the sanctity of fomo events.

[vale iron]

Yeah, I like the FOMO effect for drawing me and other older players back, and pushing word of mouth and other forms of second-hand advertising, but I also don't give a shit if someone finds a way around it

I think they should do periodic reruns (not free-for-all or the FOMO goes away completely). It's a good business strategy, just need a way to take away the "forever missed" feeling

Or quicksilver purchases?

[hot ember]

Consumerism (the mod) seems like an agreeable middle ground

[vale iron]

Yeah, I like that effect, though maybe with higher QS costs. I would need to look at those costs to form an opinion

Or both, recycling maybe 4 expeditions per year plus rewards purchasable with quicksilver

5 weeks new expedition, 3 weeks old expedition, x4. Covers most of the year

[crude vault]

I need to change my location cus I’m stuck in my corvette and can’t get outside

[vale iron]

Either save editor, edit raw JSON, PlayerStateData, and edit location, or get the mod Multipass and teleport somewhere

[frigid grove]

Where/how are you stuck?

edit: Actually, looking at your post history I see you didn't ever elaborate how you're stuck. Does your hatch not open?

[naive mountain]

Is there a mod that speeds up the game? Using CE for that gets annoying.

[hearty wasp]

can't

keep using CE

[naive mountain]

Oh well, it seems that we're intended to dramatically crawl minute from corvette to station npcs.

[hearty wasp]

just use rocket boots

[slender walrus]

Question the remove complexity limit mod isnt making any issue with the covettes?

[marsh eagle]

No but until HG adds a multiplayer corvette size sync limit keep it away from the anomaly or disable MP for responsible play.

[snow breach]

Are there any mods that let you build past the area limit on corvettes? Trying to place small things in my cockpit near the edge of the border says theyre too far

[solid hawk]

[silver condor]

how do i un install amumss

[final hazel]

By deleting it, it should only be one folder

[silver condor]

just delete the folder? ok

well that didnt work

[final hazel]

AMUMSS is a single folder, so I'm not sure how it wouldn't work

[silver condor]

not that, my main problem.
i was using amumss with buildframe, and eucli-ea and all was fine. until i noticed that, some posters and decals i had previously purchased, and placed, were not showing in the build menu, despite searching the whole thing, including the expanded tabs. there was also mangrove roots and the silver spaceship model i purchased not showing. i then purchased a few more posters, decals, and a diplo statue as a test, and none of those things showed up in the menus either.
so i pulled eucli-ea and the problem continued. i pulled buildframe, and it continued. now i deleted amumss and the menus are still in the modded format and the missing items are not restored. so now i have no idea what is going on.

[final hazel]

Then go and delete the mods, AMUMSS is a mod building program, it does not remove mods from your MODS folder upon being deleted or removing scripts from it

[silver condor]

i removed the mods before i removed amumss

[final hazel]

So the No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA\MODS folder is empty? or at least lacking those mods/any "amumss combine" mods

[silver condor]

oh wait.... i have bbb

it was beyond base building it seems. needed update. now i have to reinstall the others.
do i need build frame to use eucli-ea?

[hearty wasp]

technically yes but I've heard people saying it's fine without

[final hazel]

Only if you use other mods that increase how many tabs display in the build menu it seems (that in total would exceed 19 groups)

[silver condor]

but definite use amumss?

[subtle talon]

I wish I could mod

I’m on ps5

[hearty wasp]

but if you crash without it and complain about that I'll just tell you to use RecTUM

[hearty wasp]

for RecTUM yes

[silver condor]

it would be beyond base, but i dont think that affects it? and just eucli ea.

[hearty wasp]

have you tested it?

if not then do

[silver condor]

i havent tried using uclea without the amumss or buildframe, i wanst sure if it definitely needs it

[hearty wasp]

that's irrelevant to you testing without BBB?

[silver condor]

ok, so,. seems there is a conflict wit bbb and buildframe. i think they both mess with menu tabs. with buildframe in, the menu returns to the previous missing items version, with it out, the bbb menu and missing items return. trying to use eucli-ea without buildframe results in ctd.
so i can either use euli-ea or bbb, but not both together it seems.

[hearty wasp]

BBB has a menu?

[silver condor]

it puts everthing in the menu, whether you on the ground or in the freighter or the vette, and it rearranges the menu and groups some things under those collapsing tabs. i think buildframe does the same and it was causing some things to be lost and some categories like bones were repeated on two different tabs.

[hearty wasp]

BBB doesn't rearrange anything tho it just adds onto the existing ones

are you using the BBB lua or the installed version?

actually doesn't matter

[silver condor]

installed

[hearty wasp]

post your MODS folder

I'm p sure BBB is designed to gain priority over RecTUM

if your mods are set up as intended you should have the BBB added group

[flint solar]

anyone know the mod to get the vegata ship?

[hearty wasp]

like the actual one from DBZ or just the vanilla ball

2 very different things

[flint solar]

just the vanilla ball with no wings on it

i just call it the vegeta ship lol

[hearty wasp]

people usually call it the ball ship in here

[flint solar]

ahhh okay

[hearty wasp]

because anything else is interpreted as a custom model

but anyway it's not a mod and you can do it by editing your save

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[hearty wasp]

ask about that there

[flint solar]

thanks ur a g

[silver condor]

its in order by date. i dont know how to make it prioritize. i deleted eucli-ea and buildframe anyway

[hearty wasp]

well if you haven't changed the folder names after you installed them then you can just try to yeet your GCMODSETTINGS

and just to add onto that I just tested with Eucli-ea/RecTUM/BBB and the Mangrove Root is there

so either you don't have all the decorations and it got hidden behind a decor you don't yet have or your GCMODSETTINGS is fucked

[silver condor]

are you seeing all the vanilla decals and posters?

[hearty wasp]

do you have the Soltice Poster for instance?

[silver condor]

these were things i purchased, some were even on my ship already, and some i bought for the purpose of testing.

[hearty wasp]

that's irrelevant

you said they're not in the corvette build menu

[silver condor]

any build menu.

[hearty wasp]

ok then it's definitely one of the 2 causes I mentioned

if you're sure that you have them all then your GCMODSETTINGS is just cooked

yeet it

[silver condor]

the only decal vanilla that showed was the one from the last expedition

[hearty wasp]

yeah that's a problem on your end

[silver condor]

where is it?

[hearty wasp]

one folder up from GAMEDATA

go into Binaries/SETTINGS

instructions are also here #nms-modding message

troubleshooting section

[silver condor]

i didnt have them all, but ones i know i had were missing

[hearty wasp]

ok so do you have the Solstice Poster

[silver condor]

ok, so i should try and install buildframe now yea?

[hearty wasp]

yeah

[silver condor]

no, i didnt buy that particular one yet

[hearty wasp]

yeah then that's why

[silver condor]

what

[hearty wasp]

I told you you're having this problem either because you don't have everything unlocked or your GCMODSETTINGS is fucked

ig I can change RecTUM's starting compo objects to have the poster one be one of the posters that're unlocked to begin with

but yeah just unlock all of em

[silver condor]

the posters from the back of the anomoly were showing, just not the ones i got from qs...

[hearty wasp]

ok get those too

[silver condor]

no, im saying, the posters i got from the back were all showing, it just seems to be the qs items affected

[hearty wasp]

yeah because you don't have the Solstice Poster

so go get that

[silver condor]

i have to install build frame again and run amumss

[hearty wasp]

ok

then go get that after doing that

put that in your mental queue

[silver condor]

you tell me that now? its 420 oclock😆

ok that did not wok. the menu is reduced back down and the items are missing again. ill go purchase that poster and see what happens

[hearty wasp]

yeah go do that

I'll update RecTUM to hide all posters behind Flight Path Poster instead

it'll be hilarious when the next guy come saying they don't have any poster

[silver condor]

what poster did i want?

i just ctd at the qs guy

[hearty wasp]

Solstice Poster

[silver condor]

that pic says swarmsong, is that the same?

[hearty wasp]

no

I meant Solstice Poster

[silver condor]

oh.... ffs, now i got what you were saying....i was like what the heck is special about this poster, this guy must be joking..😆
yea maybe the flight patch one is better since since it hide already purchased items. so this whole time, i just didnt realize it was locked out and not borked...
what about the decals and base vegetation decor?

[hearty wasp]

prolly the same

I can't do much about the vegetation because most of them are already community mission sets and are usually gotten set by set anyway

I dunno what decal you're missing

[silver condor]

the only decal showing is the last expidition one, i have a bunch of others not showing, like the nms discord one on my ship and the purple one with the skull

[hearty wasp]

ig I can hide those behind White Design Decal

like every signle one of them

[silver condor]

but like, where are they now though? ,are they hidden behind another decal?

[hearty wasp]

prolly

[silver condor]

well, im out of qs to search for where they are hidden. as long as they are in there somehwere and i can unhide them eventually.
im going to try and install eucli-ea now

[hearty wasp]

honestly it prolly hadn't been caught before because most people who'd need more buildables have all the vanilla objects already lol

[silver condor]

its not the vanilla items, its the qs stuff only thats affected

[hearty wasp]

yeah those're vanilla items

they're in the vanilla game

[silver condor]

oh, i meant the stuff you get with nannites at the back

[hearty wasp]

yeah all of them are vanilla

that's what I meant

[silver condor]

blue stargaze is the decal unlock

[hearty wasp]

yeah

I'll change that to all go under White Design Decal

because fuck UX

at least it'll be available

[silver condor]

there must be another decal. its like a mini game.

[dreamy grove]

I have a quick question? Through modding can people gain access to past expedition ships and/or trade them to non modded players?

Sry not experienced here

[silver condor]

there are mods to unlock the ships, and im pretty sure you can trade them as you can just delete the mod once you have the ship

[final hazel]

You don't need to delete the mod

[dreamy grove]

Oh wel I’m a console player

Interesting though

[hearty wasp]

[dreamy grove]

Oh

[silver condor]

ok, eucli-ea is reinstalled, all looks good

[hearty wasp]

aight if you want you can try this one

I reorganised the stuff you can get from the terminal in the back so the top most stuff gets to be the starter

[silver condor]

trying now

[silver condor]

seems good. what was the deal with the plant decor? i just realized there are no plants or rock decor on the back vendor...

[hearty wasp]

p sure most of em are qs/expeditions items

[silver condor]

but they are hidden right?, one of them will unhide the others like with the posters?

[hearty wasp]

yeah

[silver condor]

thanks for your help.

[silver condor]

are any of the storage items in Eucli-ea acting as additional storage or just links to the vanilla 10?

[hearty wasp]

we can't add new storage

they're just physically smaller options

[silver condor]

some of the items dont have the preview hologram when placing, can see them when placed but not when trying to orientate. is that known? things like ground structure parts

[hearty wasp]

that's a game bug

[silver condor]

with items from eucli?

[hearty wasp]

in general

[silver condor]

is there a way you could make the corvette interior wall items not "adapt" to the hab type? like to be able to choose what kitchenette we want? is that possible?

[hearty wasp]

can, yes

will, no

[silver condor]

cool, i was just wondering.

[hexed portal]

Is there any mod that adds upgrade modules to the scrap merchant? Like the cargo bulkheads or freighter upgrades

[runic pumice]

will using a save editor kill the ability to go online?

specifically in my case to simply declare all previous expeditions complete so i can access some of the cool rewards

[final hazel]

Using a save editor or mods does not influence your ability to connect with other players through multiplayer or the discovery services

[runic pumice]

thanks

[final hazel]

You are free to use either as they are available to you

[runic pumice]

oh wow, i haven't used a save editor like this since like, red alert and starcraft 1 days

[mossy magnet]

Does anyone know if there is a mod that removes all space stations in abandoned universe mode?

...or if that might be possible to do?

[rose osprey]

are there any mods that fix short-range teleporter orientation?

it's so irritating to run into them, slam into a wall, spin the teleporter around 180 degrees and still slam into the same wall like what shouldn't you be facing the other way now???

[weary needle]

Modders can someone do me a solid and send me any save file that has a corvette?

Im not at pc and its time sensitive for a big nms mod project

Or point one out online thats downloadable

[abstract karma]

why not just go on creative and build one really quickly... then you have one

[vale iron]

gLonely had an Uncharted version. I hope to update it soon, but no promises. I want to completely restructure it.

Yeah, it literally took me 5 minutes or less to login and build a corvette for testing and sharing screenshots when 6.0 dropped

[mossy magnet]

Noice!

[weary needle]

@abstract karma I'm not at pc for 8 hrs but it is time sensitive

[abstract karma]

icl sounds sus as hell

[weary needle]

I got yelled at for sharing this lol we will find a save, dont want to seem sus

[hearty wasp]

if there is a save you'll prolly find one on Nexus

[weary needle]

Omg of course ther must be corvette on there by now

Thx

[hearty wasp]

not gonna do much tho unless you're just gonna read the json

[weary needle]

We need to pull the code from the json for a corvette

Then inject it into another save with an open ship slot

Doesn't seem to be a save with a corvette on nexus but ill keep searching

(Not at pc to make one)

Can I, using tablet and steam app, download my online save?

hi, theres a mod to make corvettes hover very close to ground? whenever i leave the seat, the corvette automatically goes at a higher altitude

[solid hawk]

Not that I've seen

[mossy magnet]

Thanks! 😄

[snow breach]

am i doing something wrong here? I still seem to be getting the "Cannot build // Object too close" thing

[silver condor]

i think there is one where you can craft them, not sure about putting them in vendors though

[hexed portal]

Ah, yeah I was hoping for one that would add it to the scrap merchant. It would give tainted scrap a more useful purpose

[silver condor]

there is freedom of flight mod, part of it makes it so you dont go up when close to the ground aqnd it lets all ships hover. works for voyager. might be what you need

[hexed portal]

I have the one that adds ship parts to the merchant, so there's that

[silver condor]

i tried using ultra base with eucli-ea. everything works but my fps dropped into the 30's until a removed it. anyone else use those two together and do you have issues?

[tranquil spindle]

How do I get mods on ps5

[silver condor]

you dont. sorry fam

[tranquil spindle]

Ok

[tough helm]

Hmm looks interesting, will definitely check this mod thank you

[hexed portal]

Maybe someone can help me. So I just added the upgrade modules to the scrap merchant using another mod as a base (Scrap Dealer Sells Ship Parts). Now, I set the prices at 3000 and 5000 tainted scrap. However, when I load the game and look, the prices show up as around 50,000-99,000. I also added the Ship reactor cores and priced them at different prices for each class. Those prices show correctly. What's going on?

[waxen heron]

how the heck do i do that it wasnts me to go to %planet%

[silver condor]

what expidition is that

[waxen heron]

expedition 7

[snow breach]

hm. not sure if this is due to messing with trying to mod the corvette range or not but its funny

huh..,

i placed it, and it took off

lmao

[silver condor]

what

[waxen heron]

i really need help with this ive been looking for that planet for an hour now

[snow breach]

no idea, i think its tied this new ship to an existing npc ship

if i try edit it, it zooms way out to miles away from the station now

all the way over there

[vital matrix]

can i have the download?

pls

[snow breach]

its not working, i think something just broke, probably unrelated but idk

[vital matrix]

oh okk

[snow breach]

this is all i did and it doesnt seem to have worked from what ive tried

but i also dont really know what im doing trying to mod nms for the first time lol

one last pic of weird probably not related bug, the landing pad appears to have landed on a planet lol

im still on the station but it zooms all the way here now

[hexed portal]

Anyone know what is going wrong here?

The modules are implemented the same way as everything else in the mod, so idk why they're priced so high in-game

This is what they look like in the exml files. The Ship cores show up fine, but the upgrade modules do not. They appear in the shop, but the prices are crazy high

[torpid lynx]

You can. But hello games would have to collab with mod.io also if you did not know mod.io is a third party website that allows xbox and PS players to mod the game they're playing but as I said hello games would have to collab with the website to do this (Witch it doesn't seem like they're going to)

[hexed portal]

So, in other words, you don't...

[silver condor]

so, you....cant.

[hearty wasp]

it's in MXML

@south orbit I switch to this channel: So yes the 16k was really replaced with 21k (at least on the steam exe). I also found these hardcoded values which might be related to visble parts limit:

"ModelVisibilityPriorityDistance" for 3 different graphic detail settings, can be 20.0, 25.0 or 40.0
"MaxModelSpawnsPerFrame" for 3 different graphic detail settings, can be 15, 50 or 1000
"ModelBudgetValue" is used for 4 different BudgetID's: 'N' 'M' 'P' or 'T' (whatever these mean)

[snow breach]

ahh ty

i wasnt sure how to find that so i guessed

[south orbit]

Thx for confirmation
21 vs 16k is big jump! full 5000 or almost 1/3 more.

[still agate]

where can i find gEggtimers mod ?

[silver condor]

this one?
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1850

[still agate]

y ty!

[untold arch]

I've been looking for a simple thing to rename all instances of the term "black hole" to "wormhole", since they're both visually and functionally identical to wormholes, not black holes. I can't find anything that's been updated since 2017, though. If none exist, how would I make a mod, one that just changes dialogue and wording in menus?

[vale iron]

Those don't go what you think they do. Those are for blocking placement too close to things like near portals or important expedition locations. The spacebace is just the bridge area on the freighter and I don't even think that variable does anything

[crude vault]

Hey Guys, can someone guide me on how to install mods

I wanna install companion unlocker but don’t know how

[hearty wasp]

#nms-modding message installation section

[crude vault]

I’m gonna give you a fat kiss

[vale iron]

Pictures or it didn't happen

[crude vault]

Does anyone know how to use the pet companion

[solid hawk]

Basically the link Quintessential Professional gave you

[crude vault]

Know like how do I use the mod in the game

I have it installed already

[solid hawk]

You know how to make pets of creatures without the mod?

Same exact way

[crude vault]

Oh shit

[solid hawk]

The mod adds the E interact button to make pets to other creatures in the game.

With the proviso, from the mod page DESCRIPTION tab:

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1868?tab=videos

A few videos of making pets of different creatures, like flying lizards

[final hazel]

That doesn't seem difficult at all (just a bit of crtl+f throughout the 9 language files) like I could go make that for you

I might do that right now

[snow breach]

Yeah i figured most didnt, the ship one i was hoping was corvette build radius, but figured it could be frieghter

[mossy magnet]

Is there a mod that increases the corvette complexity limit?

[rose osprey]

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

[mossy magnet]

You are myy hero ❤️

[fresh zinc]

What mods are people using for placing normal base parts on corvettes?

[final hazel]

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

[fresh zinc]

Oh perfect thank you

[mossy magnet]

How about a mod to allow overlapping corvette parts? 😄

[final hazel]

That has not been made yet, to my knowledge

[mossy magnet]

oooh

[final hazel]

though you can use glitch techniques to do similar things

[mossy magnet]

Hmmm, ok I'll try that

[rose osprey]

Anyone know if there's an updated version of this mod? My fingers desperately need this. Lmao
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2478

[whole stag]

does anyone know if buildframe sacs with vanilla pallettes only will work right online?

like with others being able to see colours and all that

[raw ibex]

is there a better way to set up this

i think damage is at the max, im jsut not sure about the mining and scan

[final hazel]

Yes, supercharge the upgrade module instead of the core Neutron Cannon

Unless that isn't supercharged there

[raw ibex]

im using 3 supercharge for dmg, and 1 for mining i have the extra 88% ressources on it

[final hazel]

Ah I see, well then I believe you have maximized your setup, unless swapping the positions of the upgrade module and the Neutron Cannon makes the number go up which you've most likely already done/tried

You could try to get many more upgrade modules and save the ones with the highest stats

[raw ibex]

i see, im messing aroung the places, but since i dont see the number change right at the spot, it kinda counfuses me a bit haha

[raw ibex]

that im trying, i heard that the purples ones are rly good, but i havent got a better then a S at the moment

[raw ibex]

related to the mining, the damage is at the max i believe

but thanks 🙂

[vale iron]

Not really modding related, most of the people here wouldn't have a clue 😄

[rose osprey]

Do suspicious modules have a chance to roll higher than S-Class modules? I was using a technology overload mod and had no idea they’d actually clash. I thought different module classes weren’t supposed to clash?

[final hazel]

Illegal modules do have higher stat ranges than S-Class in nearly all cases, but their range floors are at the bottom and the amount of stats they have is also fully random

Also, module class is unrelated to the limit of 3 upgrade modules per tech type

[vale iron]

X-class in all but maybe one or two instances have a higher upper range than S-class, but have a lower end equal to the lowest C-class. Also, the distribution curve is heavily weighted toward that lower end.

[mossy magnet]

Is there a mod that gives you a scanner room, (or something that serves the same function) in your corvette?

[final hazel]

No, but you could use Beyond Base Building to build one in your corvette

[mossy magnet]

oh ok thanks!

[final hazel]

Wait, this one implements it https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3779

[mossy magnet]

ok

tyvm sir

[rose osprey]

ohhhhh, so I can't equip 3 S-classes + 3 A-classes either huh

that kinda sucks, I thought endgame movement was supposed to be nigh-unlimited rocket boots jetpacking

I'm trying to keep my upgrades vanilla but keep the technology overload mod so my material stacks don't cap at 9999

[vale iron]

With mods you can

[vale iron]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3294

[rose osprey]

I mean in vanilla 😄 I'm already using that mod

thanks though!

[rose osprey]

👆

[vale iron]

Ah, I didn't see that, sorry

You can stack 3 normal procgen upgrades and 3 sentinel procgen, though. For suit and boltcaster

[humble flame]

Is it possible to get Autophages as Freighter crew/Squadron NPC/Settlement Colonists through editing the save file? or using a mod?

[solid hawk]

Can't via mod. Save editing

[subtle rose]

Does anyone know how to unlock the difficulty settings on a game with a save editor?

[waxen heron]

how do i add expedition rewards to my account without completing it?

[clever holly]

Honestly, I want to use planet generation mods, but the last time I used one, the settlement I had ended up stuck in a mountain that generated on top of it.

[hearty wasp]

ok

[young void]

hey guys, i was wondering if there was a mod that allows you to do sort by type on storage containers. i tried looking around but couldn't find anything just yet

also, a more niche one that I somewhat recall years ago but can't find it now: retro jetpack mod that makes the things not come out when you boost

[next plover]

i used a save editor to make my korvax standing high to do a quest and now i cant put it back down so i can do a quest where i need to raise it but i dont wanna do it that much is there a fix? editor wont let me put it back down below 0

[raven shale]

Hey anyone pay for the bot subscription

[mossy magnet]

I do not

Any modders around this morning? 🙂 I have a question/suggestion

[hearty wasp]

if you have a question you ought to just ask directly because people will be able to read messages in their own time instead of having to wait for you to message again, wasting both of your time

[mossy magnet]

Sorry 🙁 I just didn't want to type a novel if no one with the answers was online

Anyway, I've been playing an abandoned universe save and I found that there doesn't seem to be any way to acquire a freighter, or unlock the autophage customization options, and I was wondering i such a mod exists, or if it doesn't if I could potentially hire someone to make it for me.

I looked on Nexus Mods, to no avail

[raven shale]

Anyone know where I can download someone’s saved game file for Xbox

[mossy magnet]

I don't see anything on Nexusmods :/

[raven shale]

Darn I’m trying to expedition rewards but don’t want to pay for a subscription

[mossy magnet]

Redux should be starting in a month or two

They'll run several old expeditions back to back so people can get the older rewards. Always happens around holiday season

[waxen heron]

what unobtainable rewards are worth modding into my game? (besides expedition stuff)

[mossy magnet]

Quicksilver rewards, maybe?

[waxen heron]

wdym there is a lot of them

[mossy magnet]

Oh yes

Dozens

[mossy magnet]

If I wanted to copy my corvette from a normal save to an abandoned universe save, how would I go about that? A save editor?

[gleaming sphinx]

I recommend adding the station teleporter item through save editing from one of the expeditions

Very handy

[mossy magnet]

I'm actually about to add a mod that removes all teleporters. IMO they break the sense of scale you get from space.

[gleaming sphinx]

You do you

[mossy magnet]

XD

[untold arch]

Wow thanks, you're the best

[mossy magnet]

So, no takers on the mod for abandoned universe mode?

[jagged crypt]

Maybe the opposite? Add the teleporters to the abandoned stations for the corvettes. That run every time we land and back must be killin all those Gek players stubby little legs.

I know its exhausting my sanity....

[mossy magnet]

Umm....huh?

[untold arch]

Thanks. I just changed some things that didn't make sense like referring to wormholes having an "event horizon".. Here's the new file again, if anyone else wants to use it

[final hazel]

Yeah, I wasn't sure exactly what to do with those cases but they were clearly referring to black holes like the ones we see in gameplay

The sources I read were conflicting whether their edge would be referred to as an event horizon or not

[untold arch]

I mostly just changed "gravitational anomaly" to "spacetime anomaly", "gravitational intensity" to "higher-dimensional friction", and "event horizon" to "edge"

I'm not sure if it's fully accurate, but it does make sense at least

[final hazel]

I also avoided changing any instances of black holes that were obviously not like the ones we see in gameplay, like flavor text referring to something being powered by tiny black holes etc, only cosmic black holes and stuff related to them are changed

Which were only a handful of cases tbf

[untold arch]

Of course, black holes still exist in the game, only changing the ones that you fly into to go really far away

[untold arch]

Yes

[gray jungle]

is there a mod / combo of mods that enhances building mechanics and implements a gizmo (like in planet coaster or planet zoo)?

i adore nms but this building system is driving me crazy 😅

[hearty wasp]

can't

[wraith wolf]

is there a way to still get boundary herald with mods?

[hearty wasp]

editing your save

consumerism

not sure if the standalone unlocker is around

have you searched "herald" on Nexus or something

[wraith wolf]

yes there was a mod but it didnt work

[hearty wasp]

weird

post MODS folder, include the highlighted details

[wraith wolf]

it said something like emote ingame when you installed the mod and it would ask you to replace ur current ship with herald but nothing happend after emoting

my mods folder is empty i unsintalled the mod

[hearty wasp]

fair

if you saw the emote you installed properly anyway

there's still consumerism at least

[wraith wolf]

i didnt saw the emote i saw comments saying theres an emote that looks like the ship but i only had normal emotes

[hearty wasp]

oh

then you prolly didn't install correctly

may want to try again

[solid hawk]

Yes it is. 🙂

[wraith wolf]

im trying it again it just said drop everything in the mod folder idk if i can do something wrong there

[hearty wasp]

when in doubt post MODS folder

[wraith wolf]

i think i found my mistake

does the mods folder need to be in the PCBANKS folder?

[hearty wasp]

no

GAMEDATA/MODS as stated in #nms-modding message

[solid hawk]

Also states the same on the DESCRIPTION tab of the mod page

[wraith wolf]

i resinstalled it checking now

doesnt work after reinstalling

[solid hawk]

For the 3rd time, post a screenshot of your GAMEDATA\MODS folder

[wraith wolf]

mods and gamedata folder

[hearty wasp]

you should retain the folder that contained the files in the first pic

[solid hawk]

Yes, MUST be in the mod folder in the zip, in GAMEDATA\MODS

Instructions on the mod page are extract zip contents into GAMEDATA\MODS

[wraith wolf]

Bruh that was my mistake damn it works now this feels like robbing ur time 😅

[rose osprey]

is there a mod that turns off the highlighting of nearby hotspots that have already been identified? I.E. once I discover a hotspot I can immediately scan around for another one in the area without needing to move far away

[turbid vale]

Has anybody here used NMS Expedition Generator? As a new player it seems interesting to me, but creating new save just for expedition seems like a hustle. Is it really as bad as it sounds, or is it okay?

[vale iron]

You mean this?
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3754

[gleaming sphinx]

No I mean Orbital Uplink

No modding required - just save editing

[lofty light]

Found this spiderbrain thing while save editing after deleting my save on accident

[lofty light]

You can craft it if you're using a save on expedition 19

[gleaming sphinx]

Oh yeah

[lofty light]

btw

U know what a spiderbrain is?

I'm confused

[gleaming sphinx]

I assume an unused item?

[lofty light]

I was told earlier it might be a placeholder

but

idk

bcz it's got a NO IMAGE icon

and it all says spiderbrain

oh hi @round sinew

[round sinew]

i didnt say it was a placeholder, i only said that it had no proper name string, and therefore, must not be a thing we're meant to use yet, probably

[lofty light]

a no proper name string is still a possible placeholder.

Agree to disagree?

It's from the previous expedition where you build the autophage guy in the Nexus Anomaly, Spiderman

[limber zodiac]

I'm havin' a little trouble with AMUMMS where some of the options time out before I can even get a chance to read them >.<

Is there a way to not have this happen? It says 10 seconds but it's timing out after just a couple seconds

[vale iron]

Buildmod or buildmodauto?

[limber zodiac]

Buildmod, as per the guide I'm following

[vale iron]

Ok, edit buildmodauto.bat. Near the bottom is a modifier for GUIF prompts like that

You can set that to 2 or something to increase the time

[limber zodiac]

Ohhh! ty ty ty!

Okay, having a new problem, now that the first problem's resolved. Trying to use BuildFrame SACS, but without the custom colour palettes, just expanding the selection of vanilla ones for each building category for it to be multiplayer-friendly (I know about the colour building glitch but it is tedious). The wording in the .lua is... baffling.

I thought I had done it in a way that would exclude the custom palettes but apparently not. I'm missing something. Has anyone done this specific thing before?

[vale iron]

I have not, but Winder should be around soon, or Babscoole later. They would know

[grizzled jewel]

Does anyone have a flying dragon pet egg? One which came from modded dragon

[waxen snow]

Looking also for a Bone titan worm pet egg.

[agile forge]

Anyone help a guy put with a flying snake pet (not sandworm) and a bird pet please?

[fallow meadow]

@grizzled jewel @waxen snow @agile forge I recommend having a look in the below Discord and ask around there

[waxen snow]

Thank you

[grizzled jewel]

Sure. Thanks

[rose osprey]

does anyone know if .ahk files work with NMS

can't seem to make it work on my end

I need a way to craft lotsa stuff without breaking my D key or cramping my fingers

[fallow meadow]

AutoHotkey is just scripts that should work fine for automating input. Should be fine to to find a key/button that creates a repeat for the <D>

More like a toggle actually

[rose osprey]

thing is I have a .ahk script for it but when I have the .ahk file loaded, hover over the thing I'll craft multiple of, press the key that theoretically should start spamming D, nothing happens

I know the script works since when I try it in a txt file it spams d just fine

[fallow meadow]

Interesting, I would have expected it to work if it directly controls your input device. I'll have a look into this and see if I find anything

@rose osprey What key are you using to trigger the script?

[rose osprey]

I've tried F6 to start, F7 to end, F8 to exit. Works fine in notepad, but I thought maybe it doesn't work in game because the function keys are disabled or something. Or mapped to something else

I tried Y to start, U to end, J to exit. Works fine in notepad, hoped it'd work in game because Y U J weren't mapped to any keys in the crafting menu, but that didn't work either.

toggle := false

Y::
    toggle := true
    while (toggle) {
        Send, d
        Sleep, 100 ; adjust speed here (lower = faster)
    }
return

U::
    toggle := false
return

J::ExitApp  ;

[fallow meadow]

You may have to look into doing this on the hardware level perhaps, if the game takes full control

[rose osprey]

hmmm... not sure how to do that

maybe I need to look into other ways of making units because spending hours pressing a single key for living glass farming is gonna give me carpal tunnel

I have no idea why holding down D doesn't quickly increase the amount of crafts yet, but I guess HG doesn't want to do that

[fallow meadow]

You could of course expand on product crafting more expensive items instead, which will of course be a longer process.

[rose osprey]

which would probably also cause me to spend more time in the inventory than actually playing the game

i dunno, i'll think about it

[fallow meadow]

As for ahk script, I'll look into this some more. Been a while since I last used it, as my kbm have tools themselves for creating expansive macros.

I'll let you know if I learn anything new

[rose osprey]

thanks so much for the help 🙂

[fallow meadow]

Actually, just thought of Xaine ... I'm sure he had info on this?

Let me have a read: https://www.xainesworld.com/macros/

[frigid grove]

For doing low-level rebinding of keyboard inputs, I use an old school program called intercept.exe - pretty sure it would trap key presses before any other apps or even windows knows what was really pressed. It's mentioned here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13742630/can-you-remap-keys-of-a-specific-keyboard

I'm guessing there's newer programs that can do this, but I've used this thing for so long I've just never bothered looking, but the keyword you'll want to use is low-level

[fallow meadow]

AHK uses Input Hooks, but to be honest I'm not even sure if even required

[frigid grove]

Sure, I just mean if a program is disabling your function keys, a low-level rebind could get around that

[rose osprey]

I think Y U and J aren't disabled because you can technically type them in the in-game chat. Yet they don't work the .ahk script either

[frigid grove]

Just tested and y/u/j are working in an ahk script for me

[rose osprey]

😭 how even

i wonder if my script is wrong

but it prints in notepad just fine so it shouldn’t be wrong

[frigid grove]

I tried using the Hotkey function as well as Y::

Oh and the function keys work fine too, heh

[rose osprey]

are you using the same script above

the heck am I doin wrong

yeah it really isn't working for me. I hover over Glass so the D button is ready to be clicked, I load the script. I alt tab back in game and make sure the D button is ready to be clicked. I click Y. Nothing happens.

yeah i dunno this isn't making any friggin sense

[frigid grove]

But is it exiting the app when you press j?

[rose osprey]

yes

[frigid grove]

ok deddadh dddidddd'ddmd ddgdeddtdtdiddngd dsdodmdedthddidngd dsddidmdddddddddddddddddddddddddd

lol

I'm getting something similar. nms doesn't see the ahk inpt, bt clearld ddwdhednd ddid ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

lmao

but clearly when I tab out of the game it's sending the input correctly

So nms may be sniffing for something lower-level than ahk is sending in that circumstance. Which is weird because I'm using AHK to auto-run and it accepts those keys just fine.

ok I figred it ot

[frigid grove]

Change Send, d to

Send, {d down}
Sleep, 30
Send, {d up}

I realized that's how I'm doing my autorun script (ahk v2):

Send("{= down}")
Sleep(30)
Send("{= up}")
Sleep(30)
Send("{LShift down}")
Sleep(30)
Send("{LShift up}")

[rose osprey]

Y::
    toggle := true
    while (toggle) {
        Send, {d down}
    Sleep, 30
    Send, {d up}
        Sleep, 100 ; adjust speed here (lower = faster)
    }
return

U::
    toggle := false
return

J::ExitApp  ;```
like this?

[frigid grove]

Assuming that's how you write it in ahk v1, yeah

[rose osprey]

i don't even know if this is v1 or v2

lol

[frigid grove]

It's v1

[rose osprey]

I just installed ahk years ago and found it on my pc again

i'll try this out rq

oh my GOD it worked

thank you

thank you thank you thank you

[frigid grove]

Funny that I figured this out a week ago and instantly forgot

[rose osprey]

now my hands don't need to die every time I need to craft a thousand items

[fallow meadow]

@rose osprey If you want a v2 version that works very well for me, including a limit for the active NMS window, and a tooltip visible when active.

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
#HotIf WinActive("No Man's Sky") ; Only active for window title
F1::myToggle
    
keySeq() {
    SetKeyDelay 10, 30 ; key delay and press durations (ms)
    SendEvent 'd' ; key to repeat
}

myToggle() {
    static toggle := false
    toggle := !toggle
    if toggle {
        Tooltip "Toggle active" ; shows a useful tooltip when active
        SetTimer(keySeq, 60) ; repeat interval (ms)
    }
    else {
        SetTimer(keySeq, 0)
        Tooltip ; removes tooltip
    }
}

#HotIf
F2::ExitApp

Ah, forgot to include the ExitApp. Fixed

[fiery owl]

okay I have a technical question as a mod user and not a mod author.. I am reading the stuff that @vale iron had posted about modding after 5.58. He talks about how you put stuff in GAMEDATA/MODS now instead of PCBANKS/MOD.. but the PCBanks/MODS folder still exists? Should I be emptying this out?

What I am not sure if I should do is click yes without knowing how to re-enable mods.

[hearty wasp]

1. read the troubleshooting section of the doc if you decide to disable mods
2. PCBANKS/MODS is not loaded, issue lies in your currently installed mods
3. post MODS folder, include the highlighted details

[fiery owl]

I did read the troubleshooting section. I did remove the: Delete the Binaries\SETTINGS\GCMODSETTINGS.MXML file. When you launch NMS again, it will recreate the file. The mods folder you are asking for, PCBANKS/MODS or GAMEDATA/MODS?

[hearty wasp]

the mods folder that you're currently using to install your mods

so the GAMEDATA one since I already said the other one is not loaded

[fiery owl]

so then if that is true can I REMOVE the MODS folder under PCBanks?

[hearty wasp]

yes

[fiery owl]

okay screen shot is above.

[hearty wasp]

are you using vortex for installation?

[fiery owl]

no I had used AMUSS

[hearty wasp]

ah

did you get all the luas from Nexus?

I'm not aware Tesseraction is anywhere close to updated

[fiery owl]

yes from NexusMods. Tesseraction is flipping floor pieces

[hearty wasp]

well if it had worked before recently it may still work

if you are consistently crashing then you can only test the mods individually to see which is crashing

[fiery owl]

So I just downloaded Vortex. First time using that. am I then going to have to reinstall my mods THROUGH Vortex?

[fiery owl]

that was my original question. HOW do I turn them back on if I tell the game to turn them off from the error message

[hearty wasp]

by yeeting GCMODSETTING

which instructions you already know

[hearty wasp]

vortex doesn't do what AMUMSS does

vortex installs ready-made mods

[fiery owl]

oay so tell it to disbale the mods and then when done.. I will delete the GCMODSETTING and it should then rebuild it with the mods on?

[hearty wasp]

you can also just not disable mods

and then delete the file anyway because that'll make the game regenerate the mods' load order

[fiery owl]

thank you!

[silver condor]

@hearty wasp would you happen to know what item is hiding the derelict freighter blueprints in the build menu when using eucli-ea? ive unlocked a few and they are not showing when i go to build

[hearty wasp]

I have no idea what objects you're referring to

[silver condor]

blueprint for base decorating that are obtained as loot in the derelict freighters in space. things like crates, shelves, the heating unit..... same situation as other stuff ive unlocked not showing in the build menus.

[hearty wasp]

the vanilla ones?

[silver condor]

yea, they are specific to the freighters and have a default blue/white color.

[hearty wasp]

then why did you mention Eucli-ea

Eucli-ea doesn't touch vanilla objects lol

[silver condor]

i think i meant buildframe

[hearty wasp]

Salvage Crate

[urban heath]

how do u mod them in?

[waxen heron]

when i add stuff from expeditions with save editor, do I get in on all my saves?

[final hazel]

If you are checking them in the "account" section, yes

You will then be able to claim them from the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion, once in each save

[waxen heron]

is there a save editor you could recommend? or is one pinned somewhere on this server

[final hazel]

Both of the most used ones are pinned in this server #nms-modding message

They are both nearly identical in features and functionality

[urban heath]

where do i install pak file related mods

@final hazel

[hearty wasp]

you do not

[final hazel]

Pak files are no longer read by the modern game, and cannot be used as mods in No Man's Sky versions 5.50 and beyond

[urban heath]

</3

[final hazel]

They are the previous format the game read mods in, now they come in the form of individual mod folders that contain EXML, MBIN, and MXML files in the structure that the game files are oriented in

[urban heath]

I see

ty

[final hazel]

Seek mods that were last updated after January 29th, 2025 to ensure that they do not use pak files anymore

[urban heath]

[waxen heron]

which expeditions had good milestones (the ones that were worth getting, like freigher upgrades or op starship upgrades)?

[final hazel]

No expeditions have featured freighter or starship upgrade rewards, besides I guess the Starborn Phoenix which came with a Photonix Core

And the Singularity Engine for freighters, which wasn't a reward from Expedition 8 but rather something placed onto freighters of saves that participated in it

[waxen heron]

i meant upgrades like hypedrive upgrade with stats 260ly and 100% efficiency on one upgrade and some freigher expedition modules (i think some of them were in exp7)

[final hazel]

Not many people keep track of very old non-phase rewards, you could just get those through regular gameplay, or edit them into the inventories with optimal seed values

S-Class hyperdrive upgrades are limited to 250LY and 100% Warp Cell Efficiency though

You could get "Illegal/Black Market" upgrade modules that have limits that go higher, but it would be quite a lot of trial/error to get ones that exceed S-Class by a notable amount (unless you edit the seed values for those too)

[waxen heron]

definitely not, i have 2 260ly + 100% upgrades from expeditions (s class)

[waxen heron]

with save editor?

[final hazel]

Oh wait yeah, I looked at freighter ones twice

[final hazel]

Yes, a Save Editor can give you literally everything

[waxen heron]

alright then imma need to check that out tomorrow

[rose osprey]

I assume v2 is another separate download and install right?

[fallow meadow]

Yes, it is.

[rose osprey]

coolness. thank you!

[vale iron]

I've seen more than one report of the corvette building complexity mod causing crashes since 6.05. It's not consistent, though. Seems to happen for some but not others.

[fiery owl]

It was close. I ended up at 80 parts out of 100. Whoo. Took so many restarts but eventually got it done,, mods restored and happily out running missions!

Sheesh running lights was a challenge even. Now Paint and then I am off to find those folks!

[fiery owl]

Your insurance agent gonna have a fit @rancid yew

[rancid yew]

Was drifting upside down and saw your ships shadow go by. Epic moment

[waxen heron]

which save editor from these two is better?

[vale iron]

Personal preference

[hot ember]

there wouldn't be a point in having two if one was objectively better

[waxen heron]

can i change stuff with save editor while being on the save im changing or will it break the game?

[final hazel]

You may, though you will have to reload the save in the options to the save that was being modified to apply the changes (autosave is odd, restore point is even)

The game does not care if the save is modified during runtime, as it doesn't base anything off of it after the save is loaded

[waxen heron]

so i can change it but to apply the changes i have to reload to restore point?

[final hazel]

Yes, or autosave if the editor was modifying the autosave

[waxen heron]

how do i change the stats of an upgrade in save editor??

[final hazel]

By changing the seed that affects the stats of that upgrade

There are lists online of the most optimal seeds for each type/class of upgrade

[waxen heron]

is one pinned here somewhere?

nvm found one

[final hazel]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1kcEtrAdkSd-eeOp4rxOX8XUCHUSBPt5T_FVy2AbI8tY/htmlview

[waxen heron]

omg tysm its even better than what i found

the one i found was hard to read

[quasi dust]

Lo2k and Gumsk you guys are legendary. finding alot of your older but updated mods recently and they are fantastic

[vale iron]

Thank you, though I still have a lot of old ones to update. Lo2k is much more thorough than I 😄

[silver condor]

jmz and winder too, all good mods

i try to add ultrabase to the list along with eucli-ea, but it tanks my frames to 30's, i only have like 30 mods, is that too many?

[silver condor]

@hearty wasp
gm, i saw that buildframe has the legacy baseparts. im using a mod "add legacy structures and planetary glitches".
do i still need that mod withbuildframe running?

[hearty wasp]

I dunno

I only know that mod adds the legqcy basic parts

MILF adds legacy basic parts, Foundation Infrastructure parts, a few settlement parts, and fixes Infrastructure snapping

Read if that mod's description mentions them and then decide for yourself if you want MILF as well

[silver condor]

does build frame add the legacy parts or just account for them in the menu restructure?

[hearty wasp]

They have to be unlocked to be visible

Does MILF's description page not mention it?

[silver condor]

i dont know what milf is

[hearty wasp]

???

BuildFrame is not one mod

You don't just "get BuildFrame"

MILF is the module that is responsible for unlocking legacy parts

What mod did you think you were asking about lol

[silver condor]

add legacy structures and planetary glitches is the name of the mod i have installed. i have it before i installed build frame. i saw i had bf 1.4.0.1 and wanted to update it, and i guess i saw milf updated with legacy parts and thought it was RecTum, and wondered if i still need the other legacy mod.

is milf in rec or do i need to dl milf and sac too?

[hearty wasp]

Each BuildFrame module is independent to each other

Again BuildFrame is not a single mod

Saying "I got BuildFrame" is meaningless

You can just say the module's name lol

[silver condor]

i wasnt looking past the buildframe part to realize i was looking at different ones

mb

[hearty wasp]

Well now you know at least

[silver condor]

yo joe

[hearty wasp]

If you want them you can get them but neither MILF or SACS is a necessary dependency for other mods

[silver condor]

gotcha, i can use them together though right?

[hearty wasp]

Ye

They mostly don't touch tips with each other

[silver condor]

would you know possible cause of fps drop when adding ultrabase to the mix?

[hearty wasp]

Not really

Most of UBB/Eucli-ea's stuff aren't originally specifically made for base building so they may be more geometrically complex

More mesh = more intense

[silver condor]

i dint place anything with it, it was like that from the start until i pulled it

i tried the version that lets you place anywhere, i will try the other one

[hearty wasp]

Then idk

I know the game loads basically all base objects at least once when the game loads but idk if it unloads em after

[silver condor]

if the version with just parts does the same thing, then i wont bother. eucli gives a good variety of extras stuff for now anyway. plus, I'm not a fan of every category of ubb having one sticker for every item in the category. could be 15 detail items, but they all have the same Blobby pic.

[hearty wasp]

That's why UBB can be entirely created from a lua

[naive mountain]

is there a mod that removes most interaction animations?

[silver condor]

is it better to put the .lua in amumss instead of the mod folder into mods?

[hearty wasp]

Lua is only used by AMUMSS

The game does nothing with them

[silver condor]

so it needs to be in along with the mod folder in mods?

[hearty wasp]

If the game does nothing with luas why would you need them in MODS foldrr?

[silver condor]

i dont mean the lua in the mods folder silly, i mean do i need the lua to be in amumss and also have the mods folder in the games mods section?

[hearty wasp]

You can read the individual mod's description to see if they requires it

Most don't

[silver condor]

just a head up, using buildframe sacs, the material tab is below the screen.

[hearty wasp]

Lmao that's weird

I'll check a look and see what's up later

Shouldn't be

[silver condor]

lol, you can still choose, so not terrible😆

[hearty wasp]

huh it's not happening on my end

can you see if you have 2 copies of the SACS lua in your ModScript folder

and I'm assuming you're playing on 1080p

[silver condor]

just one

yea 1080

[hearty wasp]

can you edit the lua so that UI_HEIGHT_MULTIPLIER is changed to 2 instead of 2.85

[green prairie]

For all the 7 players that play the Abandoned Mode and asked for these, it's there now.

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3828

[silver condor]

so it looks like "2"?

[hearty wasp]

yeah

[silver condor]

run buildmod.bat?

[hearty wasp]

ye

[silver condor]

didnt work

[hearty wasp]

prolly just changed the wrong param

try this

[silver condor]

lol, there is two, i changed one....

[urban heath]

how do i change the appearence of my freighter and starship using Nom Nom

[fallow meadow]

Get to the correct tab, then change the 'Type' and 'Seed' for the selected type.

For the starship, you first select the ship you wish to change of course, while you can only have a single freighter

[urban heath]

anywhere i can find other cool looking seeds?

say for a squid

[silver condor]

looks good, thanks

[fallow meadow]

Yes, you can have a look in some of our channels here, or various sources online that may have seed values. Another good source is the NMS Creative and Sharing Discord I'll link below

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

[urban heath]

preciate it

[mossy magnet]

I used the Nomnom save editor to copy my corvette build from one save to another, but the copy devours all forms of fuel like it's starving or something. Like, I'll refill my pulse drive to 100% and 3 minutes later it's empty. Can anyone suggest a fix for that?

[silver condor]

i got ultrabase to work without fps dropping, but then i discovered some items dont have a hitbox or any collision, and so there is no target for the builder to grab and highlight in order to delete it after placing. so i decide not to use it

[green prairie]

To not have anyone jealous, Pirate Stations also get it
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3832

[silver condor]

anyone know if there is updated kibble n bits? id like to try that out

[solid hawk]

There is not currently

[silver condor]

thanks

[marsh sail]

hello, i am in need of assistance. i have the correct path set in NMS_FOLDER.txt but it is not detected. this is happening on AMUMSS, and yes, i have a downgraded version of nms which is why im using .pak and all that in the first place. the path to my game folder is correct, but i notice its looking for a .pak in the PCBANKS folder, but its only asking for the location of my GAMEDATA folder. i think it looks for this .pak to confirm that i am in the right place, but that .pak is missing. can anyone help me?

[rose osprey]

Running into a problem. In the photo, interacting with the weapon rack does this instead of opening the archive. I had a mod before that put three functions into the weapon rack: the archive, the decommissioning station, and the upgrade station. However even with all mods uninstalled and the gcmodsettings.mxml file deleted, this still happens. Any advice?

[final hazel]

Go into GCMODSETTINGS.MXML and set "DisableAllMods" to "true" to fully disable all mods, if that is what you want to do to fix that

[rose osprey]

that doesn't work either

hmm i'm confused, it was fine a few hours ago. I didn't exactly add any new mods since then

[vale iron]

Might not be mod related, or might be related to where you are when you use the rack

[rose osprey]

I'm in my freighter

pretty sure it's vanilla to be able to place a weapon rack in the freighter, right? 🤔

[vale iron]

No idea on that

[final hazel]

Yes, but interacting with it should bring up the multitool archive screen, not the decomissioning station of course

[rose osprey]

Hmmm. Deleting the weapon rack and putting it back up didn't fix it, but moving it somewhere else did. Moved it back to where it was previously and it's still fixed. What the heck even happened, is it really because I was at a certain position when triggering the weapon rack?

[vale iron]

Insert Shia Lebeouf "It's Magic" gif

[rose osprey]

There's something about this position that breaks it. I move it a centimeter, and it's fixed. I move it back, it breaks again. What the hell? I am so confused. Like, is this a normal thing to happen in modding nms or something?

[river sleet]

hey im stuck in my own corvette cockpit. how can i save edit myself out of this situation?

[tepid dune]

orbital link? This more of nms-help question

[tepid dune]

physicsand collision in game is full o bugs, heh. E.g. even justscaling item may break it because scale too small or too big causes some items to say "out of range". It collides with something invisible

[river sleet]

people referred to this chat. i tried gooling what an orbital link is but i still dont know. i am unable to build while i am in teh cockpit

[final hazel]

Orbital Uplink is an item you can use to teleport to the space station

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3777 this mod adds that item's functionality as a Gesture that can be used at any time

[tepid dune]

I had recipe left from expedition (on new save). Otherwise it can be edited into save, it's just a normal recipe

[rose osprey]

We can save edit the recipe into our primary save? That's awesome. How exactly? I was kinda miffed when I finished the expedition and learned that we needed to pay over 1000 quicksilver for a single uplink

[solid hawk]

Should be the path to, but not including GAMEDATA

Since you don't say what version NMS you've downgraded to, hard to say if you should be using .pak mods or otherwise.

[brittle kraken]

So i have a question. Was looking at mods that remove tech overload. Only cause i wanna mess with the exocrafts. Anything else wouldn't be fun to me. The one i tried, replaced ship tech with parts, cause no more limit at 3. And i dont want that. Anyone know of a mod that i can toggle what is affected? Like i can toggle off my ship, multi, ect. ?

If not, the if anyone knows of a way i can go about doing it myself?

I just wanna make my exo faster just for fun lmfao

[quasi dust]

guys in the REWARDTABLE.EXML what is "RS_MONEY_S" / L /M refer to?

is it a generic reward for all missions in station that offer currency?

small medium large im assuming

[vale iron]

Adjust the vehicle settings, not the tech overload. There's no way to target tech overload in any way

I think search drifto for Winder's version

[brittle kraken]

Damn. So its all or nothing then

[vale iron]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1941

[brittle kraken]

Is it adjustable?

Oh, it is lol

[solid hawk]

Yes, small, medium, and large. You'll have to hunt where it's called from to determine useage.

[hearty wasp]

#nms-modding message

[quasi dust]

thank you. i assumed so yeah, im looking through the files

[tepid robin]

would this count as cheating?

since youd still need to get the quicksilver legit

[deft bobcat]

Hey guys, i've downloaded collection of "wrm's essential Ui + gameplay" from nexus mods. Most of them are outdated by at least 7~months. While starting up the game i did get the msg that i'm playing modded, so i know game did recognize.. "something", but none seem to work. Did i fumble with installing mods (vortex manager was derpy)? or it's just case of 23 outdated mods?

edit: ok some mods do work but they feel kind of derpy.. hmm

[hearty wasp]

only you can measure your own guilt because no one else really cares

[hearty wasp]

it's possible that some of the mods may be broken, we don't usually recommend using collections because no one making them for NMS ever actually have enough knowledge to maintain them, but mods have been more update-proof since early this year so some may still work

[deft bobcat]

it's not really a modpack, but rather a bunch of standalone mods thrown into 1 folder of sorts.
Is nexus mods still best spot for nms mods? And also how can i browse only updated mods?

[hearty wasp]

1. I understand what collections are, it's just that with how often the game is updated collections are usually ill-suited for NMS with the careless mix of categories that makes them break easily
2. yes and only Nexus, sort by Last Updated

[deft bobcat]

Aye Aye, thanks

[tepid robin]

is there a mod order or somethinf

[solid hawk]

Mod order?

[hearty wasp]

Not one that you need to worry about mostly

Most you'd need to do is yeeting GCMODSETTING

[wispy marlin]

👌

[wispy marlin]

👍

[high valley]

you guys think this mod is safe? or it might break my save? just like the base parts on corvettes mod
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3835

[silver condor]

creat a backup and try it. its brandy new so we dont know really, im about to try it myself

[fallow meadow]

NMS Base Builder App and Blender Plugin have updated:
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2598
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/984

[silver condor]

@vale iron i was going to ask you about updated version of gfreighters, and saw you already did it today! awesome stuff. been looking to check it out for the longest!

[snow breach]

(I made it and havent had any issues with the station ship i used in the pictures btw, messed with the setting for what is now the third day so far. As with all mods though yeah I would backup in case)

That said I also never ran into any issues with base parts on my corvettes so 🤷‍♂️

[silver condor]

@hearty wasp hi, can ArmadA be used with voyager?

[hearty wasp]

no

[vale iron]

I did? I've been working on it, but don't have it functional yet.

[silver condor]

lol, no. it was sept 29, but last year😆, i got excited

[marsh sail]

sentinel 3.84, and i do have the same directory as you, just that the steam folder is in my program files and its a different drive

[solid hawk]

With that age, you want to use GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\MODS for your mod .paks., but the location in NMS_FOLDER.txt should be the same. Here's the one unknown. Should you be using a much older version of AMUMSS? Been a ton of changes in the past 3.5 years, all of which with the sole goal of adding functionality and keeping compatibility with latest NMS, no consideration towards working with "legacy" versions of NMS. Back then would have been version 3.9.x AMUMSS.

[marsh sail]

might be my issue that im using an newer AMUMSS

let me try fixing that up

[solid hawk]

Hopefully you still have an old install package laying about. I don't think I have that old anymore.

[silver condor]

i have it installed now, awesome job friend, a much needed addition.

[barren raven]

anyone use NMS transcender? Does replay season not work?

NM, steam was online,. Figured it oot

[worn canopy]

do we like this scanner guys

[quasi dust]

this a mod made? looks cool

veeery clean

[scarlet flume]

Will doing past expeditions in any way of our choosing make all the stuff added by Consumerism at the quicksilver shop available for purchase without the mod installed?

e.g. via Transcender

[final hazel]

Somewhat, claiming the phase rewards makes those rewards claimable on any save from the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion for free

which includes replaying old expeditions using stuff like https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/ or just save editing their rewards to be checked off in account data

[scarlet flume]

Oh they become free? Better than Consumerism's expensive prices for sure. Alright thanks!

[final hazel]

You could also just use Communism alongside Consumerism https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3420

[scarlet flume]

I could yeah but where's the fun in that

I just want access, not to make em free without effort 😂

[worn canopy]

yes is gonna be part of a UI overhaul imma drop in due time

[scarlet flume]

Since I've finished expedition 19 and transferred all my stuff and ended it, there's no need to worry about overwriting the season_data_cache.json and backup the file right?

[final hazel]

That should be completely fine yeah

I think it would've also been fine before, as long as you don't load the save that's on the wrong expedition

[next sparrow]

Hey, I'm playing NMS on PS5, and I have a PS4 modded. Is there any way to transfer my save from PS5 to PS4, complete the expeditions, and then return to PS5? Thanks in advance

[vale iron]

PS4 mod? I'm not aware of any. You should be able to cross-save to PS4, do what you want, then cross-save back to PS5

[next sparrow]

I want to do the past expeditions on the PS4 instead of the PC. Is that possible?

[scarlet flume]

what a way to start my expedition 1 save, first contact planet, system, and a trading post/minor settlement/sentinel pillar all within eyesight from my ship

there's no way to place down a beacon or something this early in the save is there...

[final hazel]

Could take a screenshot of the glyphs, and note the lat/long using your analysis visor, once you have one at least

Or just make a backup once it autosaves and use that to find your way back to gawk at in the future

[deft bobcat]

hey guys, is there a working mod that makes NMS not lose focus on atl tabbing? Something that disables the pause?

[final hazel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3308

[deft bobcat]

i've installed that mod yesterday, i've placed it into No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA\MODS and it doesnt work for me :/

[final hazel]

Well it has for all others who have installed it properly, is it a folder too deep or something?

[deft bobcat]

Ah.. i noticed what's the problem. It was indeed 1 folder too deep

thanks

[quasi dust]

could i request a feature? id love if you would consider hiding that awful bottom right "tips" bar that shows your "current mission". really silly we still have no way to disable it. not only that but the game totally changes what mission "im selecting". HG's are really great at dropping bangers of updates but neglect the little important things

[rocky latch]

Can people see the past expedition fit that I never got when I enter the anomaly?

[radiant arrow]

yeah the current mission getting changed by a random item we pickup is weird

[quasi dust]

yeah its annoying..like if i buy an exo suit upgrade chart, for as long as it sits in my inventory, im reminded to use it. jesus. same with anomaly detectors. im amazed it has been this way all these years

[radiant arrow]

any developers or enthusiasts here want to develop speech synth (TTS) tech for NMS quest line? it could be a mod, but there's a chance NMS will officially adopt it if we use compatible wwise & plugin versions. any insights would be appreciated.

[final hazel]

If you are wearing/using it, yes

If you can see it, they can see it

[rocky latch]

Joy ❤️

[hearty wasp]

if you have request for help 99% of the time the answer will be no

and the more complex your task is projecting to be the higher in the 99 percentile the no will be

[radiant arrow]

im already working on speech synth on wwise, vocalien. looking for a way to not guess the tech stack they use, so i know what im developing is natively compatible with NMS code

[hearty wasp]

NMS uses wwise as well but that's as far as your compatibility will go

[radiant arrow]

sadly they seem to be using an ancient version 2016.

which doesnt have much plugin support

[hearty wasp]

all NMS internal files uses a custom markup language format to contain their params

and yeah because of that custom file format you're prolly not going to be able to get any plugin in there

best you can do is prolly just add your own audio and somehow add it to the manifest or depot or library or whateverthefuck the list of audio is called

and then refernce them in the modified in-game files

all as automated as you can code them to be

[radiant arrow]

my dream is pitching the NMS team a tech demo of a dynamic TTS system that speaks over the 'learnt' words and those internal monolog text. So the learning alient language also improves how much text is vocalized over time.

so it cannot be a pre-baked set of audio sadly.

[hearty wasp]

ah

then you're better off either getting into developing your own python mod or your own dll-type api

there's nmspy where you can access what's being loaded in runtime as far as I understand but it's more involved of course

[heavy merlin]

If you're just wanting to pitch something, making a video that gives an idea of the result, without actually doing it for real, could be enough. It's not something that would be possible with normal modding, and would need some external thing, ^

[hearty wasp]

or just send an email to Sean Murray

[radiant arrow]

yeah true, without direct access to the team, its either memory spying or OCR which is flaky

[radiant arrow]

i might make a demo, already am a CTO of 25+ team so might not be just dreaming 💭

[radiant arrow]

thanks for the insights guys

[vale iron]

They are really small and really busy and don't have much time to look at stuff. We also don't know if they even see anything about mods other than posts on Reddit, so spending your time making something happen probably isn't wise

[hearty wasp]

yeah just manufacture a viral campaign instead

[radiant arrow]

true! a video preview of what it could be might be the way to go

this game could feel wayyy more alive if players can hunt for translator 'voice' tech upgrades for their exosuit so they can understand the aliens without reading through jibberish 😍

And its a great accessibility feature too.

[vale iron]

Accessibility features are more likely to grab their attention than anything else

Look at the Joe Danger remake story

[heavy merlin]

I'm not sure how, the people who would most benefit from text to speech would be blind people, and I think the rest of the game would be too much of a problem

[heavy merlin]

You already learn the alien language words gradually, so I'm not sure what you mean here. A completely different system of presenting the not-completely-understood messages?

[hearty wasp]

eh people can have difficulty reading texts in general so tts is not a horrible idea

[scarlet flume]

what do I miss out on if I play NMS with steam offline? Since I'm playing past expeditions, but I want to login to my primary save (while offline) to deal with my plants and settlements. Can I do that?

[vale iron]

Seeing other people in the Nexus Anomaly. Not much else

[scarlet flume]

ah that's it? So for someone who never plays multiplayer I'm missing literally nothing?

[vale iron]

Not much. Some people find that fun. I like seeing other people

[scarlet flume]

I’d play multiplayer all the time if I could. Unfortunately more players makes the game impossibly laggy for me, so I can’t even enjoy the game

In any case it’s not something I’ll be missing so i’m glad I can freely swap between saves without needing to go online XD

[frigid grove]

You miss having a million ugly-ass base icons on your horizon everywhere you go.

(At least during expeditions)

[tepid dune]

Did they do something to glyph icons so they can't be replaced?

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/548 this md, andd exactly only ths mod has no effect

[hearty wasp]

it's just old

game doesn't load paks anymore

[tepid dune]

But.. that practicaly mean we can't do that, right?

same thign as they did with shaders because people were making game look better, "no we want everyone using color filer"

[hearty wasp]

you can

I have

if you so want to you can unpack the pak file using psarctool, put the entire extracted folder structure inside a folder, and then plonk that into your MODS folder

[tepid dune]

They call that upgrade? lol

should there be a subfolder in mod-folder that or it results in everything being merged into one tree?

[hearty wasp]

the internal folder structure must be retained so if you are seeing the files being inside a buncha folders that is normal

when in doubt post screenshot of what you're seeing

[vale iron]

Yes, because it's a better system.

[tepid dune]

only doesn't work it seems

p9performace wise I'm not sit's better)

[hearty wasp]

it works if you do it correctly

same as before

[tepid dune]

well it doesn't. And I don't see any modern mod which would be doing this I can't cross check. All texture mods I find are .pak

[scarlet flume]

probably should’ve realized I couldnt do nexus missions while offline

what happens if I swap to my primary save, close the game, go online, then open the game? will it ruin my expedition save or can I go offline again and continue where I left off?

[tepid dune]

it's same save

if it's same save it matter of talking to terminal again

[scarlet flume]

uh, im doing past expeditions btw. that’s why I need to be offline.

Argument of loose files vs. archives for mods is 25 year old and doesn't have solution, because both sides are wrong, lol. Both systems have own reasons and own issues, depending on platform and use-case.

This is the updated one, working with current versions of the game.

New Interloper here. Are there any must have mods to use etc out there?

Stuff for like QOL etc.

[tepid dune]

Nice, now even nexus search is useless, lol

It wasn';t givin that one as result, bu was giving really old ones. Joy of modern search systems which don't search but try to guess what you may find interesting.

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1677 I very recommend this.. because, tbh, slowly printed text impacts cognition.

I want to change the freighter model to a custom one. Which seed do I have to change?

[heavy merlin]

Model seed

[ebon schooner]

thanks

[heavy merlin]

IIRC the home seed affects the crew and some of the colours

Hey y’all. I have a question

So, i have 5 psn accounts just to play nms, that is i made 4 other emails (besides my main one) so i could have these accounts. These was done way before cross saves were a thing, fyi. Thing is i lost access to those emails and i’m trying to get new accounts set up to log into psn or otherwise i can’t run the expeditions… But! I don’t want to lose my progress in these accounts. I tried copying the save files to the new accounts but it says their from another player. So here’s my question: how can i decrypt these savefiles, so to change the player id number and reupload them to the new accounts with the new player ids?

It is my understanding that there’s a decrytion bot on discord. I haven’t gotten it yet, but i don’t know if just decrypting and then going on textedit tool would do the trick. Should i get a save editor while at it? If so, what are we using nowadays for nms?

I decided I was happy with the consumerism or whatever mod.

Atleast then I'd still have to earn it, but not wait for years to get the things I want.

[silver condor]

i use it, and one that adds qs to other missions

[lime mesa]

I see.

I'm not sure how to use all those script mods cause no one ever explains how to, to new people lol

[silver condor]

same as consumerism. you can use a mod loader like vortex or, what i do is, download the manual zipped file, and unzip it into a folder on my desktop. then i just copypaste into the games mods folder.
