[lethal oar]

That might help, gimme a bit to test smth

[round sinew]

oh mb

that's out of date - nevermind maybe, i think i saw 6.01 and thought it was outdated lol sorry

[lethal oar]

Oh damn

[round sinew]

wait, not sure

@lethal oar you'd need to go here, and change 5 to 1 (that would change it to normal)

you should have a 5

[lethal oar]

Oki lets see

if that did it

editor crashed, attempt 2

holy moly

its been 3h

love ya man @round sinew

[scarlet flume]

Hi, can I get help with this? Is it safe for said past expedition's save to go online as long as we don't load into the expedition? So I can do nexus stuff.

Then when I wanna go back to the expedition I gotta log out, go offline, then log back in?

[hearty wasp]

I'm p sure your expedition save will get reset if your game's online when you load it

just load another save

[scarlet flume]

okay context

[round sinew]

if you go online you'll download the latest season cache file i think, regardless of what save you use

[scarlet flume]

1. I'm offline
2. I load into my primary save > enter the past expedition through my primary save
3. I can swap between primary and expedition anytime - I am still on the same save, I just swap via the nexus terminal
4. So I'm currently on the expedition save, I head back to primary save.
5. I save. I log out.
6. So I'm in my primary save right? I go online. I log back into the game.

Will that ruin my expedition save? Again I'm on my primary save. Not the expedition save.

[round sinew]

(which atm is exp19's)

[scarlet flume]

so it'll ruin the expedition save

bottom line, if I'm doing past expeditions, I cannot do nexus missions

[round sinew]

yeah, i'd say it's just best to stay offline till you're done with exp

[rose osprey]

@round sinew
I'm already using FSR2 yeah. Thing is, Transcender needs those 4 options toggled off. I turn off motion blur and anti aliasing (which lag my game to the extreme), and the game still freezes when I try to load the ingame menu.
I can't get any help in the main discord as I just keep getting ignored so here I am lost lmfao

[scarlet flume]

damn. okay thanks 🙁

[round sinew]

what is transcender?

[rose osprey]

https://nomansapp.com/transcender
A plugin with all sorts of QoL. Made by the same guy who created the NMS Service Bot

enables me to do past expeditions while fully online is one such thing I wanna take advantage of

[scarlet flume]

yo that's crazy

but I don't have dlss or hdr in my settings either lol so I'll pass

[round sinew]

oh yeah, i've seen this before

[rose osprey]

Quite the amazing little thing right? Except when I troubleshoot I just get ignored. 🙃

[round sinew]

Note: If you don't see the new ingame menus coming with transcender in some rare cases you might want to change the graphic settings and disable DLSS, HDR, AntiAliasing, MotionBlur.
If for some reason the launcher isn't responsive you can skip it via config setting (Path: No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA\TranscenderConfig.lua).

[rose osprey]

Sorry i'm a bit bitter, it wasn't just once or twice I got glossed over

[rose osprey]

Yep. I have no DLSS and HDR, I turn off the other two

clicking the TIlde key just freezes the game

~

launcher is responsive, it's the in-game menu that isn't

[round sinew]

well, i have no experience with this tool, and like the tool says, for support, one should go to the tool's discord server. for good reason too, since the project lead is there (Mjstral). have you tried changing window modes - especially if you're not on borderless?

[rose osprey]

I've tried yeah. I'm already on borderless too.
It's the tool's discord where I keep getting ignored too. Thanks anyhow, guess I'll go and Up my post there again then

[round sinew]

be patient. sometimes/most of the times in this community really it's not that people are ignoring you, it's just that they dont know how to help you.

[rose osprey]

Yeah I guess so. I just thought after 13 hours someone'd have said something more than mjstral saying "check your graphics settings"

[silver condor]

thats a real cool mod, i bookmarked it for now

[solid hawk]

mjstral is the programmer who made it and the only one who can troubleshoot issues with it. Also has other stuff going on besides, like important IRL stuff. As well, most likely in a completely different time zone, so can take a few days to work through any issue.

[rose osprey]

I didn’t know he was the only one who could troubleshoot for it. Guess that’s why there isn’t a dedicated channel for it?

In any case, thanks for letting me know. Was just letting out frustration from hours of useless troubleshooting on my end

[solid hawk]

I get it. Many things with NMS modding, there may be only one person who can work through and figure it out, the author, especially when it comes to issues with a specific mod or tool. As others don't have access to the source code or aren't familiar with the "code", makes it difficult or impossible for anyone else to assist.

[silver condor]

@hearty wasp hey bud, i was checking out these lights in eucli-ea and they dont highlight when trying to delete, i had to move the hab so they auto deleted

[hearty wasp]

cool

keep finding more and I'll update/fix all of em in one goal

if possible can you just finish everything you wanna build and then put forward everything in one goal

easier to track down

[silver condor]

no prob, i wasnt really building anything atm, just having a look at whats there.

[vale iron]

I never said anything about loose files v. archives. The system is far better than it was. Stop thinking you know better than everyone (including the devs) about NMS modding when you don't even know how to install mods properly yet.

[broken falcon]

Hey, i’m still needing help with this…

[latent elm]

Is there a windows font out there that contains the PORTAL GLYPHS?

[final hazel]

This one replaces 0123456789ABCDEF with the glyphs

It was shared online somewhere, but the glyph was too wide and I had to fix it

[latent elm]

Bless you Grouchy groucherson

[final hazel]

This is the issue that I had to fix btw lol (first is wrong, second is correct)

[vale iron]

Kerning?

I have a post pinned with NMS fonts. I'll update to that version later

[final hazel]

It's weird, that letter specifically is wider on the right, at least from the reddit post that originally had it

may or may not be the same version in the pins, at the very least they probably came from the same person originally

I believe this is it https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/97w347/download_nmsglyphs_fonts_for_your_banners/

or it's this https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/comments/oh109y/easy_way_to_add_larger_more_readable_glyphs_to/ idk

the first one had this comment which tipped me off to it, it's prolly fixed in versions shared post 7 years ago

[vale iron]

Mono is the filename I have, so probably that

[lunar quartz]

I always just grab them from the wiki

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/media/hydra/fonts/NMS-Glyphs-Mono.ttf

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/media/hydra/fonts/NMS-Glyphs-Tight.ttf

[final hazel]

The issue seems to be present in that copy of them

The issue also seems to be in this copy of the mono one too

Slightly too wide on the right side seems to infect all

[vale iron]

When I get home I'll edit the message and replace with your copy

[final hazel]

I made sure the one I edited was identical to the original, and the fix was as easy as snapping something so it could easily be remade

[vale iron]

NMS related fonts with a fix to Glyphs Mono by @final hazel

<@&590975379678953522> Can you swap the pin for the message linked below with the one just above this message?
#nms-modding message

Please 🙂

[heady stag]

Is there a mod that makes flying ships not so bad?

I really dont want to rely on the autopilot for the ships and without it, the controls are pretty pad. No direct yaw control and the ship somehow yaws and rolls when I pull the stick in one direction

[hearty wasp]

nothing that makes it not fly like a plane

[heady stag]

Ah

[coral pewter]

using goatfungs' save editor, trying to change an interceptor into a different interceptor. all that has been happening is changing the color, and the model stays the same

any ideas?

[warm rune]

Hello all. I am wondering if anyone has Optiscaler for FSR 4 or what ever version i can run. I have tried and i was only getting 10 FPS

[tiny lion]

uh for goatfungus (NMSSE) I'm trying to access account, but it won't let me. I am playing on Mac. So what am I doing wrong?

[warm rune]

nvm I finally found a good thread and was able to fix the issue.

[wet ember]

Is the only cleanhud mod the one from 2 years ago? Would it still work on latest version bc idk much about nms in general so im not sure

[frank pelican]

Hello all! Does anyone know offhand if Devils Collection is compatible with the latest release, version 152790? The mod itself is on version 151620.

[final hazel]

It would require updating definitely, but someone could probably update it to make it work

Mods last updated before 5.50 (Jan 29 2025) use the old mod format and aren't compatible with the current game, mods released after that are significantly more update proof

[final hazel]

I have not seen anybody base things off of the internal HG build numbers, but if the mod was last updated before version 5.50 (Jan 29 2025) then it will not work
If you are referring to this https://www.nexusmods.com/games/nomanssky/collections/vlqibb, then it should work completely, though most of us do not use collections and just collect together mods that do what we want that we know how they work

It should all work though, if it worked as of Sept 12 2025 like it says

[frank pelican]

Vortex popped a warning. OK, this is the first time I've run into a collection, and was intrigued. Not sure I need 71 mods. I think I'll play some more and see what I want to change.... Thanks Grouch!

[final hazel]

NexusMods doesn't understand NMS modding any more than we do, make a backup of course when actually trying it

[frank pelican]

Great advice, thank you!

[slate cairn]

was looking at nms resources, curious how they save edited in the 7th row, as im having issues with doing it :3

[final hazel]

Good question, I do not know

I believe they shoved it in for display purposes

As shown by the text in the bottom right

Not sure why they have multiple expedition tech that are impossible to acquire on a new save though

[slate cairn]

hm, only reason i didn't think it was edited was the "or use a save editor" part :3

[wide anchor]

Hello!! Does anyone know of any mod or technique to make signs, like street signs, direction signs, welcome boards, informational texts, etc.? I haven’t found any mod capable of doing this.

[hearty wasp]

it actively understands less

which is not to say they're at fault, their entire system is not designed for NMS

[hearty wasp]

Eucli-ea has letters and arrow decals if that's what you're looking for

[wide anchor]

Thanks

[wet ember]

oh

so is there basically no way to play clean hud now on latest??

bc I don’t think I could actually play nms in vr without it

[final hazel]

Unless somebody updates the mod for the current version of the game / current mod system, no

[wet ember]

Damn

that’s unlucky

is there any mods like it out there?

or how hard is it to update a mod ik I probably can’t myself with 0 experience

[final hazel]

Do you have a link to the mod at least?

[wet ember]

I think I saw one

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2822

this I believe

[dark brook]

I was just wondering if there was a mod that added like a snap feature to the rotate axis thing on furnature? I want to make sure all my parts are aligned correctly

[hearty wasp]

can't

[dark brook]

Big sad

[tepid dune]

Pfft. Figured out in about 5 secs. They just have dumb system to generate config file that disables mods out of blue. I'm combat sim developer iby employment, I know somethign about this kind of software

[tepid dune]

If build assist could be possible someone already wrote that. heck, i would be first person to try. The controls and behaviour are in exe file mostly. Helper guides? Possibly one could replace models with something that got a grid. That'snot supported though

[dark brook]

That's a shame, I like having things set to a grid.

[silver condor]

is there a mod template or something for making decals to add? i had an idea for some that had battle damage or exposed circuits or wiring, and wondered if i could do that my self

[vale iron]

I saw someone a day or two ago asking questions to try to get a version working for VR, so maybe soon

[wet ember]

i hope so lol

its been 3 years now

nvm 2

[maiden zenith]

it wont work if its not the steam version

of the game

[tiny lion]

It is the steam version

[peak prairie]

do mods work on macos?

[hearty wasp]

no

[warm rose]

hey whats good mod for increasing the complexity limit for corvettes

[vale iron]

There's only one because we usually don't recreate stuff others have done, and that mod is a detriment to the community. If you use it, you should turn off multiplayer

[wet ember]

you can play with other people with multiplayer activated with mods???

isn’t that just cheats atp

[final hazel]

Same amount as enabling creative mode options in the difficulty options, you're allowed to play the game how you like (even if mods are super limited)

[wet ember]

ohh I see

[vale iron]

This is the only mod I know of that causes issues for other players

[steel harbor]

Is there a mod that adds more creatures ?

[vale iron]

More like increased quantity?

or increased variety?

[arctic lichen]

Corvette no complexity limit

[wispy marlin]

Is HG going to fix corvette hovering effects and landing gear bugs or do we have to use mods?

[final hazel]

We have no info about future patches/updates, unfortunately (besides stuff pushed to Steam Experimental)

We can only assume that blatant bugs will be fixed

There is a mod currently that replaces them with their unbugged counterparts, but that also reintroduces a different, smaller bug I believe
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3793

[wispy marlin]

Also is there a mod to make npc chats faster that works in new version, want to grind the story to unlock late game content.

[final hazel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1677

[wispy marlin]

Thx, will see if it works with 6.06

[final hazel]

It does, it most likely will never require updating. I'm still using a version from 5.5X I believe

[wispy marlin]

Nice

[final hazel]

Most mods that utilize EXML files do not require updating, unless the things they directly modify get changed

[wispy marlin]

Oh ok.

Idk why HG decided to lock some content like purple systems and new multitools behind story quests, no way I'm going to read all the text, just skipping.

[silver condor]

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

[silver condor]

maybe this, not sure if it works currently

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1826

[steel harbor]

This adds creature variety?
Like new creatures

[silver condor]

i dont think so. i dont know of any mods that introduce new models for things. everything that adds additional items, seem to be using unused assets in the game

[silver condor]

this one seems to add more variety, but not newer models, but its mad old and may not work
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/162

[solid hawk]

No mod updated prior to 29 January 2025 will work

And mods from the first few years of nms couldn't even reasonably be ported to current. Too many differences.

[silver condor]

i figured as much. slim pickings in some categories

i really want to learn some modding. i hate asking for things

[solid hawk]

Never been able to add new creatures. Too many roadblocks in the way. Creature types hardcoded, making new models high level of difficulty, can't make new animations, etc.

[silver condor]

i just want to make a few decals with like battle damage or exposed circuitry or something

[solid hawk]

Decals themselves would just be DDS TEXTURES

[silver condor]

its still all Martian to me😬 .
you know of any tutorials or templates i could try?
can a png or jpg be converted to dds?

[solid hawk]

Well textues isn't just an nms thing, so probably info out there. Suppose it depends how good your photoshop skills are

[foggy hound]

do mods affect you playing with base game players

?

[wispy marlin]

It depends on how much the mods changes the game I think.

Small tweak/fixes mods shouldn't be a problem.

[solid hawk]

Only in terms of what you may see, vs others

Never stops you from playing mp

[wispy marlin]

Is there a working mod to unlock purple systems?

Or even better, one that unlocks all contents from story quest lines?

[wet ember]

how hard is it to update old ones?

[silver condor]

there is this,
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3330
@vale iron is this still good ?

[modest mulch]

Didn't played NMS since 2022 – what are current must-have VR (and non-VR) mods? Is there mods that require starting a new game?

[tidal raptor]

Is anyone here familiar with editing the raw JSON of the save file, that has a few minutes? I believe I have found a fix to a crash, but I am unsure how to extract certain elements in a safe manner

Specifically, I would like to clean this up; I believe a base I downloaded at the anomaly is causing my game to crash any time I interact with any teleporter.

[silver condor]

@vale iron hey bud, i installed the corvette bunk, but when i use the appearance modifier, its swinging the camera to the other side of the wall and cannot see the character

[vagrant bobcat]

Does mods actually influence any multiplayer gameplay? thinking to download some but if i'm planning to play with other players, i think it would cause problems, no?

[cobalt condor]

Mods work in multiplayer. Most of the time, other players wont see what you've changed with mods unless they also have the same mod installed.

[vagrant bobcat]

I see, thank you @cobalt condor

[finite river]

Can any modder give me a sandworm please?

[worn shadow]

Can someone help me use a save editor on my save im on Xbox without a way to access a pc for a save editor

[solid hawk]

Find the folder with that base and remove it.

[solid hawk]

Try the #nms-lfg-or-trades channel. Mods can't give pets like that.

[finite river]

Thank youu

[vale iron]

Yes, almost everythign with EXML in the title should work. This one I tested recently, too.

[vale iron]

Yeah, I need to put a note on the description page. From my testing, if a wall is to your right, the camera will be behind the wall on the first two options. I may need to move the locator range a little, as well

[keen mica]

Only just now found this channel exists, but, anyone know if it might be possible for a mod to reverse the logic of landing-related pieces, such as the huge moving thusters or the landing bays? 🤔

[final hazel]

What do you mean "reverse the logic"?

[keen mica]

exactly what it means. 😄 "Landing" state when in space, and "flight" state when landing. e.g., landing bays open in space, closed when landing.

[solid hawk]

Might be able to reasign the animations

Like what is done here: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2230

[keen mica]

cool, thanks! Very promising! Once I have a better idea for its use case, maybe I'll message that modder or post a more complete request here.

Overall it's a "decorative" thing. Instead of things opening for landing, I hope we can make some things like look they're only for flight, kind of like those sails. But we may need more possibilities opened up for rotations/glitching to make it as usable as possible. We'll see.

[solid hawk]

I am the modder in question. 🙂

[keen mica]

lol, so you're Mjjstral?

[solid hawk]

Mjstral does not mod anymore

[keen mica]

got it, sorry I missed that lol. I've always found the info on Nexusmods being visually overloading. It's always a chore trying to find the modder's name(s) since I don't use the site often enough. 😵‍💫

Anyway, thanks then. You have my soft request if you want to explore it lol, but I'll think about it more myself before being too serious about it.

[rapid pumice]

Does anyone know how to check if a mod is properly installed? I installaed a mod but im not seeing the effects of it in game, im wondering if its a outdated mod or a installation problem

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3714 spefically this mod

[final hazel]

Now that you mention it, I'm not seeing the effects of it either

[rapid pumice]

you think an update broke the mod?

[keen mica]

Coincidentally, I have the same concern and question about Pefect Corvette Camera.

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3757?tab=bugs

Coincidentally because, I see it's also a camera mod.

[final hazel]

I'm actually noticing a higher vertical sensitivity when outside of my corvette, so maybe they added new parameters specifically for those and the mod hasn't changed those yet

[rapid pumice]

wdym

[final hazel]

When I am inside the interior of my corvette, the vertical sensitivity is significantly reduced, but when on a planet's surface it seems as if the mod is doing as it's intended

[rapid pumice]

When im on the planets surface, I feel no difference

[rapid pumice]

The mod does say that some enviroments don't function properly

is there a config for the mod?

[final hazel]

The mod is a text file

there are no configs for mods

maybe they just haven't located the properties for modifying other camera modes, including when in different interior spaces etc

[rapid pumice]

Do you think its an installation problem for me then? because it works for you on planet surface, but not for me

[final hazel]

It may, I do not know for certain

The only way you could mess up installing the mod would be placing it's folder in the wrong place

or having GCMODSETTINGS.MXML No Man's Sky\Binaries\SETTINGS\GCMODSETTINGS.MXML set to disable mods, try deleting that so the game regenerates it on opening the game

[rapid pumice]

Ill try that

Are you launching it from a mod loader like nexus or just from steam?

[final hazel]

I am placing the mods in the GAMEDATA/MODS folder and opening it normally, mod loaders are not needed

[rapid pumice]

btw that didnt work

[final hazel]

Do you get a mod warning on startup?

[rapid pumice]

Nope

[final hazel]

That means the game is not detecting any mods.

[rapid pumice]

hm

[final hazel]

Which means that the mod must be installed incorrectly

aka placed in the wrong spot

or a folder too deep etc

[rapid pumice]

this is where it should be yea?

Nevermind

[final hazel]

Please refer to the mod installation/troubleshooting guide http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550
that is where the MODS folder was before version 5.50, the game no longer looks there

[rapid pumice]

Im assuming if the gamedata mods folder doesn't exist, I just make it?

[keen mica]

Yes

[keen mica]

^

[rapid pumice]

it worked!

[rapid pumice]

thank you so much for the help

[rapid pumice]

And thank you as well

[keen mica]

np, glad it worked 😁

Unforunately that means it's NOT related to my issue with the camera mod I'm trying haha. 🥲

[rapid pumice]

The only thing I could help with is, is it installed in the right place lmao

[keen mica]

🤣

[vale iron]

That's honestly the most common problem

Is it in the right folder? Does the folder have a bunch of numbers at the end? 90+% of issues

[final hazel]

Wish NMS had a protocol for folders it detects as non-mod folders to check one folder deeper for a mod and drag it out if it is a mod that's too deep

and that vortex would point to the correct mod folder for once in it's life

[hot ember]

90+% of issues in modding in general is just users skipping reading
modders have been trying to people-proof that for two decades now but turns out if a person just refuses to engage with the information presented to them, there's nothing you can do

[foggy hound]

cool

ty

[finite river]

I know this is a long shot stupid idea, but would a pc player be willing to login to my account and edit a save for me

[warm rune]

is there a mod to help with navagating the systems easier?

[uncut flax]

you don't need a PC person for that

if you have a Huawei phone that has harmonyOS just switch to linux and then use any save editing software to edit your save file and upload it to the clouds and open it on your console

[finite river]

I’m on ps5 and iPhone sadly

[uncut flax]

you're capitalism's strongest consoomer

sell that ps5 and that iphone and get a real gaming machine and a real phone

[finite river]

I got a spare phone Is an honour phone good for that?

[uncut flax]

no it has to be Huawei with harmony os on it

or use a laptop

or a raspberry pi lmao

[finite river]

I got a pc

Just don’t wanna buy the game again

[uncut flax]

who said you need to?

just edit your ps5 save

[finite river]

Several people

[finite river]

How would I do that?

[uncut flax]

ahhhh i just realized something

[finite river]

Ps5 is dog shit for stuff like this?

[uncut flax]

ps5 is dog shit in general

buying it was a mistake

but no

[finite river]

I just bought it for the new Spider-Man games

[uncut flax]

which are available on PC

anyways

ps5 does not allow for coping ps5 games

which is sooo stupid i know

your only course of action is borrowing a steam account with the game on it

or use the family share function with someone's account that has the game

[ebon cosmos]

A reminder that this channel's topic is NMS modding and save editing

[scarlet flume]

Hello! Need some help.

Is there a resource that lists what milestone rewards and blueprints (like orbital uplink) will not be available in the primary save at the quicksilver companion? Even considering if the Consumerism mod (which apparently adds all claimable expedition rewards and twitch) is installed.

See I just finished Expedition 1 Pioneers and before ending the expedition I notice the Honmatan ship isn't at the companion, so I figure I have to copy it over or lose it forever. Is there a list I can refer to for cases like this?

[vale iron]

You get phase rewards and nothing more.

[scarlet flume]

So all multitools/starships we get from milestone rewards cannot be claimed at the quicksilver npc even with Consumerism and will need to be copied over?

[final hazel]

If they are not rewarded from the 6 phase rewards (including the final phase), then yes, as those aren't specifically from the expedition

[scarlet flume]

Is this the case 100% of the time because the Surge of Storms B56-K1-6 multitool is a phase reward and yet not available at the quicksilver companion either (even with Consumerism installed)

[final hazel]

That is strange then, at the very least you can copy that one over but all other ones should be claimable from the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion on other saves. That Multi-Tool isn't technically special, and this is long before they made special Multi-Tools for expeditions that have unique models

[scarlet flume]

Hmm I see. Alright then. Would be nice to have a resource to check instead of having to scroll through the companion's wares every single time to check an item's availability though

[vale iron]

There was one other instance where a phase reward didn't exist on the main save, but I forget which one

[final hazel]

Yes, phase rewards that aren't claimable on other saves aren't common at all, I had not known of any before this point

[spice orbit]

Is there a mod that makes it easier to swap between multitools?

like rebinds it to a different key?

[final hazel]

You can already rebind switching between them to numbers 1 through 9 + 0

like any quick menu option

just hover over the desired quick menu option (in this case, Uitilities > Swap Multi-Tool > the desired Multi-Tool), then press ctrl + the desired number

[spice orbit]

oh brilliant, thank you

[silver condor]

shout out to creator GLITCHEDMATRIX for creating a much wanted mod. this is what the water landings should be like.

[wispy marlin]

how to use save editor to just unlock all content from story quest lines, like purple systems, robot settlements, new multitools?
Started now doing story guest after 200h of gameplay, and just feels like meh, I ask myself is the grind really worth it for the end game content.😮‍💨

I'm actually wondering how HG will handle guests and content lock in LNF, if it's also suppose to be a sandbox game.🤔

[vale iron]

Except now waves will cover the ship. That's why they hovered higher up, I'm pretty sure.

I mean, the tradeoff might be worthwhile to you, just pointing out that one thing I thought of

[final hazel]

even though they hover high normally, it's still not high enough for waterworld waves lol

[silver condor]

i was just in a storm, it goes over lowerdecks of the vette, but not the higher ones.. totally worth it.

[silver condor]

getting the deck swamped is kinda immersive. at least my stuff cant get washed overboard😆

[vale iron]

Yeah, could be good for you, I was just pointing out that one possible problem

[frigid grove]

For all you completionists out there, I added all the old versions of expeditions to the expedition generator: https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/

I haven't actually tested most of the older versions, so they may have new planet types or other weird things that could break them. I'll go through them and fix issues as they come up. Surprisingly, the very first expedition has the same starting planet type, so that's encouraging.

[cobalt condor]

Technically, all planets should still be the same type of biome as they have been since Next. So long as none of the expeditions rely on specific sub-biomes (Swamp, Lava and Infested come to mind) they should be fine

[frigid grove]

The problem with the first expedition is one of the milestones is to go to a green star system, so that was auto-completing

There’s actually a flag to change the biome of the starter planet, which either they or I used for cartographers to make it hot instead of toxic (which was how the original was supposed to work). I should check that one to make sure it has the appropriate biome.

edit: I take that back. Looks like the original expedition was on a toxic planet, then one or both of the reduxes were on a hot planet. However it looks like the type of environmental protection you start off with is hard-coded somewhere, so no matter which one you play, you get heat protection. To fix this I think I can just add a toxic protection module in the config.

[solid hawk]

Author mentions something about this in the description, I recall.

[untold bay]

Anybody knowledgeable in glitch building in pc?

I'm having an issue in which it's not letting me build on a direction past half of the corvette building bay

[normal basin]

Since when have there been custom model multitools?

[final hazel]

Since Expedition 12: Omega

Which introduced the first one, the Atlas Sceptre

[normal basin]

Oh yeah

[final hazel]

Then the Pillar of Titan and Basilisk Crown released after it

[normal basin]

Honestly forgot atlas scepter existed cause I always end up using some b class station rifle or smth cause I can’t be bothered to repair cooler MTs’ slots

[untold bay]

solved it. Just had to do the whole process but on the other side

[digital bramble]

Can I use relive mod and get the rewards from the previous expeditions if I used this mod ?

[heady stag]

Question regarding the save editor and freighers. I got an S class freighter with Gek on them but I want Korvax. Is there a way to edit the file so its Korvax manning the stations instead?

[kindred dagger]

Just wondering if ps5 nms in modable

[final hazel]

It is not #nms-modding message

[solemn cairn]

How did you rotate the hubs?

[silver condor]

i believe you can do glitch stuff on ps5, just not adding mods

[kindred dagger]

I was looking for someone to give me salvage data to upgrade my ship

[silver condor]

why cant you dig it up yourself? all planets have it , or most of them do, and why ask for free shit in the modding channel?

[ionic sun]

I think they want a mod that’ll just give em free salvage data or something

[silver condor]

salvage data is not for the ships though

salvaged frigate modules maybe or Salvageable Scrap

[round sinew]

@thick plinth need to enable advanced mode to be able to json editor in nom nom

[thick plinth]

thx

[untold bay]

Which way?

[silver condor]

upright

[carmine birch]

can you tell me Which mod is causing the problem? like i tried Uninstalling and reinstalling mods but couldnt figure out the issue

[round sinew]

well,

• take all the mods out, delete gcmodsettings.mxml, then launch - does it crash?
• exit game, add half of the mods back on, launch game again - does it crash? then your problematic mod is in that small group
• go from there

[silver condor]

if your using mods before the crash, look at whatever ones you recently added

[solid hawk]

"Which mod is causing the problem?" The one which contains the letter a somewhere in the title.

[untold bay]

It's a tricky glitch. I'll try to explain it the best I can:

You first need to make a regular corvette, ideally using the titan entry bay ramp. Go out into space and pick the nearest planet then go towards it. You have to stop right as you enter the stratosphere of that planet, like when you see the atmosphere change a bit. You must align the center of your vision or aim reticle exactly with the dot from where the line of informational of the planet stems. Then you need to get out of the corvette pilot seat, walk back, open the ramp, and very carefully place a seamless window, the triangular-ish shaped one, on the roof of the ramp thingy. You have to place it on free placement, and right when you step off into space.

Honestly it's better if you watch a tutorial

Idk if I explained it well

[silver condor]

thanks, lol, i know how to do it. i wasnt the one that initially asked, i just chimed in.😬

[untold bay]

Ah lol

Well, it's there for the person who asked lmao

[solemn cairn]

Thanks. Seems very tricky indeed 😅

[warm rune]

Is there a mod that will show all the planet names. To make it easier to find things.

[silver condor]

im using gbase scaling to make items tiny to use as game pieces. trying out what ones i want. there is the obvious statues, plus other bits and bobs

[frank bridge]

Is Steam Deck moddable?

[final hazel]

Yes, as the Steam version supports mods

you just need to be able to access a browser and files/folders

[hexed portal]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/22 does anyone know of an updated version of this mod?

[heavy merlin]

It says older versions of the game, so maybe it isn't relevant anymore?

[lone salmon]

Looking quickly I haven't found an answer but is there a way to use the save editor to add/modify a corvette ship much like how seeds work? If so, how?

[silver condor]

anything passed a certain point doesnt work any all, the last time this was updated was the year the game came out, so it most likely doesnt work since there have been many changes to lighting and rendering since

[hexed portal]

Right... I'm asking if anyone knows of an updated version of the mod that works in the current game version XD

[hexed portal]

Nah, there's definitely still rim lighting like this and it's always been icky looking to me lol

[final hazel]

I believe it just doesn't apply to current versions, they don't have that

[hexed portal]

I hate when games do it, makes everything look shiny

[final hazel]

besides I guess player hero lighting

[hexed portal]

Hm, I could've sworn it did.

[final hazel]

I haven't really noticed it personally, outside of super old screenshots

[hexed portal]

Though I could be thinking of the wetmaps when it rains since most of the planets I visit have rainy weather.

[final hazel]

Yeah, that is indeed a thing

might be why I see everything from those old versions as wet

[distant knoll]

i have the companion pet unlocker mod and it says im playing a modded version of the game but i cant tame the flying creatures

[final hazel]

That is strange, I have it installed and I am able to use it fine

[distant knoll]

if it says im playing a modded version of the game that means i did it right no?

[final hazel]

Is it the only mod you have installed?

[distant knoll]

yes

the only mod

[final hazel]

And when you look at a flying creature while standing on the ground, no prompt appears?

Note that it is impossible to interact with fauna or most other things while you are airborne

[distant knoll]

oh ok

i see

[final hazel]

This is why the mod increases fauna interaction range by a massive amount

[distant knoll]

i was tryna like mlg clutch the prompt

so i have to wait for it to get closer tehn

i built a ramp

[final hazel]

Usually you can interact with them from the ground, no extra steps

[distant knoll]

what mod do u use

[final hazel]

no "getting closer", as the mod increases interaction range enough

[final hazel]

The only mod that allows uninteractable fauna to be interacted with and adopted https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1868

[distant knoll]

yeah thats the one i have

[final hazel]

Then please read the mod's Description next time

[distant knoll]

did i like install it unproperly

[final hazel]

If you are receiving the mod warning, no

[distant knoll]

ok

i just gotta wait for it then

[humble flame]

Does other sees my projectile's appearance change after I modified "GcResourceElement" to other player?

[vale iron]

Mod warning just means there are files in the MODS folder, not that you installed it properly. Follow the troubleshooting and getting help sections of the pinned Modding After 558 document

@distant knoll

[final hazel]

Ah K, I thought the mod warning only meant that things read as a mod were found, like files in the correct spots

[distant knoll]

oh ok

[vale iron]

What is "GcResourceElement to other players"

In general, changes to appearance will not be visible to other players

[distant knoll]

where can i see that

[vale iron]

The pins, in this channel

[distant knoll]

how do isee pins

[humble flame]

Apologies 🙏

I switched visual of exocraft cannons to sentinel's gun

[final hazel]

Since other players don't even see the flamethrowers projectile correctly (it displays as a fast-firing regular exo cannon), I would doubt

[hearty wasp]

all model allocations are local

[vale iron]

Look at the top of the screen for a thumbtack icon

[distant knoll]

why is vortex telling me its not discoverd and i have to set the folder manually

[humble flame]

Will it be avaliable if I change the projectile itself shot from vehiclegun to another

Like infraknife bullets

[hearty wasp]

what

[humble flame]

Making the technology MECH_GUN itself shoot other projectile

[hearty wasp]

you do understand what I mean when I said "all" of them are local?

[humble flame]

So uh, it's like everyone will see the Energy Ball just with different values like speed?

[distant knoll]

I DID it

ty guys

[hearty wasp]

yes

see #nms-modding message

[humble flame]

[remote merlin]

Are there any mods to remove the message thing in my base. I can't delete it T_T

[wicked cargo]

Are there mods to 1. Make the inventory actually convenient, for example to show the whole inventory in the refiner window and not this 8 items at a time bs? To move items from your inventory to a container that already has them? 2. Remove the annoying chromatic abberation and CRT lines on top of the screen?

[solid hawk]

Neither. UI is an unholy nightmare to work with for NMS. Almost nothing is labelled and high levels of repetitive sections in the files. Makes it a trial and error process to find what you need. Reason why you don't see many UI mods for NMS. Your inventory is stored in your save file, NOT the game data files and mods cannot directly touch the save files.

[solid hawk]

Any placed object in a base is stored in your save file, which mods cannot touch. Your best bet is to delete via raw json with one of the save editors.

[final hazel]

That second part should be disabled when you disable Vignette & Scan Lines
(Options > Camera > Comfort > Vignette & Scanlines)

[wicked cargo]

That's a shame 🙁 i wonder why they didn't do that themselves. like, why show items that can't be processed at all?? or is it really not obvious that scrolling through a ton of items 8 at a time is a pain in the ass? Thanks for the breakdown though!

[wicked cargo]

Thank you! I thought it was in the graphics settings

[tepid dune]

are theer some new tools for dealing with MBIN maybe?

[inland cave]

does anybody knows how to mod frame generation into the game? i have a 3080 and a lil bit of fg may help xd

[vale iron]

In what way?

[vale iron]

You can use 2x framegen with 30 series, or use the FSR framegen

[inland cave]

eh? where

how

its in the game config?

[vale iron]

Yes, switch to DLSS and then framegen on

[inland cave]

i didnt know that

[final hazel]

It should simply be in the Display & Graphics, though it may not immediately be available for every card

[tepid dune]

something like visual decompiler\packager? ALl I have old tools from ancient era

[inland cave]

u sure?

for 30 series?

[vale iron]

The latest decompiler is from about 2 weeks ago

And it's not visual

Most of our tools are command line

[tepid dune]

does it have source code/ Original didn't

[vale iron]

NMSMB is the best option for GUI based MBIN examination

Go to github / mbincompiler

[tepid dune]

ty

[vale iron]

You want the MonkeyMan branch

[inland cave]

i dont see that option, btw i forgot i have a 3090 now xD

[tepid dune]

setting change depending what is chosen in Reflex

[final hazel]

For me, frame gen appears if DLSS is selected

[inland cave]

BUT WHAT GPU U HAVE

caps

[final hazel]

4070ti, idk why it wouldn't be available on a 3090

[tepid dune]

same as yours. Lemme check. It's alsodriver problem

[inland cave]

bruhhhhhhhhhhhh

obvusly

i cant

told ya

[final hazel]

it seems to just not be available, there's prolly some way to force it to be used cuz a 3090 definitely can do frame gen

[vale iron]

Switch to FSR then

[inland cave]

i mean it doesnt have the hardware to do hardware frame gen like 40 series but it has pretty much of doing software frame when

[inland cave]

i denst show the option for grame gen

[final hazel]

everything is so hard to read oml

[tepid dune]

So same situation

[final hazel]

Even for me that doesn't have a FG option in-game

[tepid dune]

Antialising got no FidelyFX option? Maybe driver indeed?

[tepid dune]

Sorry, was taken amid of modding. I was about to change font 😛

Do you remeber how it looked in prerelease? osme planets werebleed-your-eyes-color-blob

[tepid dune]

Hha.. I was updating for better sky loook, got a better cave look. THough too much light >.< Why all modern games try to fit too much saturation everywhere. When i's DARk, you see LESS colors

[steel harbor]

Is there a slow walk mod for pc?

[hearty wasp]

can't

use a controller

[final hazel]

Only ones that replace walking speed entirely https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3773

[wicked cargo]

Can anybody recommend a mod that optimizes the game without lowering fidelity? ~140 fps for a 9 year old game is kinda sad

[final hazel]

This game doesn't really count as a 9 year old game in the same way others are since it's been actively in development getting new things for 9 years, don't expect a 2016 machine to play it well

there aren't any mods that improve performance without lowering fidelity to my knowledge, that's something the developers themselves do constantly to outweigh the stuff they add

[wicked cargo]

i get the development thing but i have a 5070ti and dune awakening runs the same with raytracing, i guess i was hoping there was a thing similar to oblivion remastered, they managed to boost the game by like 50 fps with a config file without lowering quality, black magic as far as i'm concerned

[final hazel]

There were options like that a while ago like decompiling the game to remove a stutter when transitioning from planet to space, but HG fixed that by using a more optimized compression/decompression thingamabob that makes it unnoticeable

[jaunty crane]

Is there a mod that shows the hidden stats on omnitools and ships? Like, for example, launching efficiency?

[ivory shard]

Is there a mod that tells me what system is the best to sell something in?

[final hazel]

That's already present in the vanilla game

[ivory shard]

where?

[final hazel]

The in-game description of every trade good details which type of system they are most useful to sell in

[ivory shard]

iirc thats where you buy and you sell in the next colour?

[final hazel]

The description says which one you sell the item to

as shown in the image

!faq-units in #bot-spam has a trade route guide that may explain more

[final hazel]

I do not believe that is something that is possible to implement using a mod

[ivory shard]

it says should be sold in the next system?

[final hazel]

Yes, just like the in-game descriptions say to

[ivory shard]

ah ok

[final hazel]

This item is bought in Power Generation systems, but says to sell it to Mining systems

[ivory shard]

im confused

[final hazel]

You are looking at an item from a Construction economy, which are sold to Scientific economies for profit

or technology

idk

[ivory shard]

so look at the bottom text not top text got it

so a science system?

[final hazel]

Superconducting Fiber can be sold to a Science economy for a profit, yes

Also I thought you were buying that item from the terminal, mb

[ivory shard]

yeah im selling and always find it hard to find where to sell haha

[vale iron]

Let me know if you have suggestions.

[short sorrel]

Does the Normandy not show up in the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion's "Expedition Rewards" before actually doing Expedition 2?

I've already done the Pioneers expedition with cwmonkey's excellent tool, so I'm familiar with that. However, I was expecting to be able to see the frigate at the QSC, and I only see the Historiographical Dosimeter there (though I can't collect it yet, of course).

anyone know what I need to do? trying to use nomnom to move my character but it wont lemme use the code

so I am having a problem. I am using Vortex to manage my mods for the game. I was crashing because of a mod. So I have disable them, been playing, slowing turning them back on, one at a time. but it seems that some of them arent turning back on. do I have to complete reinstall the mod or should I be using a different method.

[warm rune]

ok, nvm. I did a verify files with reset the mod action from fasle to true. changed that,w orking again

[marble hearth]

where can I find a lot of mods for no man sky

like a catalog?

[solid hawk]

There is only one place, NexusMods. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/newrecently . No mod last updated prior to 29 January 2025 will work, due to changes in the modding system then.

[marble hearth]

Thanks

[lime mesa]

i have a question regarding the exp generator

do i just drag the seasondatacache.json in the saveslot and it will automatically start the expedition?

[quasi dust]

are these files likely to be altered in future game updates?:

CRYSTAL_LARGE_UNDERWATER.ENTITY.MBIN
SHARDS_MOUNTAIN.ENTITY.MBIN
CYSTAL_SMALL.ENTITY.MBIN
MEDIUMROCKSCAN.ENTITY.MBIN

using a mod that spawns friends when harvesting these related items,in just curious if it will survive updates as the mod is only updated yearly

from the looks of it

[hearty wasp]

entities just get randomly updated when HG wants so there's no telling

if the mod's in exml it should be update resistant

[quasi dust]

thats my thinkinh. i currently only use EXML mods because i want sustainability

this mod however is MBIN and im unsure how to change it to exml

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/911?tab=files&file_id=43619

[hearty wasp]

you can always start learning

[quasi dust]

required a framework i wasnt able to use on my pc

and my system is in another language right now

[hearty wasp]

what framework are you referring to

do you mean you can't install dotnet

[quasi dust]

it was one for the MBIN i believe, i cant recall off top of my head

[hearty wasp]

I'm p sure dotnet has a linux build

[quasi dust]

was possibly this ye

[hearty wasp]

well then find out what it is and ask about that when you do

[quaint raptor]

if I'm going to be getting at least 10 mods should I get a mod manager? 😮

[hearty wasp]

Can, yes. Should, up to you

Most of us just rawdog it

[quaint raptor]

fair enough lol

[silver condor]

i stopped using the modloaders as they were giving issues. i just copy/paste them in

[quaint raptor]

fair I'll do that thanks both 🙂

[ocean prairie]

Hi guys, i wana use vortex to menage my mods for no man sky, but it doesnt read the mods i have in the folder? can i force it to check/detect them somehow or what do i do?

[solid hawk]

Best thing you can do is to not use Vortex with NMS. If you need help with Vortex, best to go to the Vortex support channel on the NexusMods forums.

[hearty wasp]

you have to install your mod zips into vortex by dragging them into vortex or download directly into vortex from nexus

it does not detect mods in your MODS folder

never has

[solid hawk]

It also will frequently extract to the wrong location and extract mods incorrectly. Enjoy. 🙂

[silver hawk]

we need a corvette camera mod that's a set or adjustable height above the cabin or 3rd person a camera height adjustment

[cobalt condor]

Can't do much with that, the corvette camera is relative to where the ship was built on the landing pad

[midnight reef]

i seen some people being able to get items that are not in the game anymore and stuff how are they getting those?

[vale iron]

Save editor or mods

[lime mesa]

after im done with the expedition from thbe generator, do i turn on online mode or do i download the expedition 19 cache

(how can i be back to normal)

[midnight reef]

well im using mods but dont see anything that does that so i guess its got to be save editing

[vale iron]

What items in particular?

[midnight reef]

like the quicksilver ones and nanite ones

[final hazel]

Online should be fine, if the expedition is fully complete
the game will download the most up to date expedition data

[midnight reef]

and stuff like taht

[final hazel]

All quicksilver items that have ever been available for quicksilver are still available, are you referring to limited-time Community Expedition rewards?

[midnight reef]

yea stuff like that items you cant get anymore

[final hazel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2062

[lime mesa]

oh so i just switch to online mode after im done with it

okay

[midnight reef]

there is a quicksilver item you can get that you cant get in that mod and like happyness itmes and stuff like that ill need to get a pic of it

[final hazel]

Those items can be acquired using a Save Editor then, those items aren't usable in any way though

they just exist

[midnight reef]

yea i know i just like to have them lol im a collector

[midnight reef]

i thougt it was a save editor just didnt know if there was a mod out there

[midnight reef]

thanks for the help

[final hazel]

We have links to download a save editor in the pins: #nms-modding message

[vale iron]

Yep that's what you want

[midnight reef]

ok thank you

[vale iron]

And communism if you don't want to pay for it

[lime mesa]

oh but wait, will i have my stuff when i change to online (bases, inventory, equipment, ship, etc)

[final hazel]

Yes, you will

[lime mesa]

okay

[warm rune]

So I am going to be manually installing my mods, feel that Vortex might not being doing a good job. what wif the mod has the lua file in it,do I have to move that elsewhere, no one really say or talk about that.

[final hazel]

Lua files are used with AMUMSS to build/rebuild mods, not a necessary process for mod users anymore at all

Helpful if you want type update mods yourself, though most mods don't need that

The game doesn't read lua files so they can be ignored or thrown away

Refer to the modding doc for installation/troubleshooting stuff #nms-modding message

[warm rune]

Thanks for that, I have also read that .pak files are not used anymore, what if a mod i want has that file. will it still work or no more.

[vale iron]

It will not work. See the pinned Modding After 558 document

[warm rune]

ok. well thats a bummer. ok.

[vale iron]

Depending on what you want, there might be replacement mods or work arounds

[warm rune]

so the mod i wanted to use was the NO Lag Leaving Planet. if there really isnt any issues, then i just wont use it

[vale iron]

That's obsolete

You don't need it

[warm rune]

ok, thank you

so I had to mods with .pak files. i am guessing thats why it was crashing

[vale iron]

Pak files won't cause a crash. They just won't do anything

The game doesn't recognize them anymore

[warm rune]

ummm, ok. well I will have to see what else might be then. if it happens again

thanks again for the info

[fresh arch]

@final hazel got couple pointers for the quick portal charge mod if you don't mind

1. entity files can be EXML patches

2. there might be an issue with text for 4th group, the name doesn't show up for me properly

3. because HG is reusing the same maintenance techs for discordant interfaces found on Korvax monoliths, the glyphs displayed there also have changed names

So you might wanna consider splitting those

[solid hawk]

Also, related....No mod last updated prior to 29 January 2025 will work. No point in looking at or downloading any from before that date.

[warm rune]

Yup, all that I have found and been using all have been updated after March or sooner.

[final hazel]

Donezo, actually managed to fix all of that (except the 4th group thing, don't exactly know what you mean by that so it's prolly not on my end)

Was depending on the entity MBIN reordering everything since glyphs 6, 7 , 8 & 9 load first when removing the rest normally, forgetting I could just make glyphs 6, 7 , 8 & 9 into 1, 2, 3 & 4

Also gonna update the EXML version to be fully EXML, to the joy of paranoid people everywhere

[final hazel]

Nevermind, found something that is probably fundamentally impossible to change individually

[final hazel]

Nevermind, All Of The Issues are fixed

[quasi dust]

guys can i ask, what does the cGcCreatureGlobals control in the game files specifically? can you tweak it to add a certain fauna,such as fiends, to spawn?

[vale iron]

You can, with enough work. But your question is kind of like "what does integer mean?" It's a broad thing

[quasi dust]

theres a few mods that spawn fiends, one handles it by causing them to spawn out of rock you harvest, and one spawns them randomly. im just trying to understand broadly how to make something like that

theres alot of globals files to try to understand their basic functions, i see alot of values in the EXMLs they dont always make sense to me

[quasi dust]

is it possible for me to take an MBIN file into the MBINCompiler.exe to decompile it to EXML, then use that EXML directly in my mods folder?

Kind of. EXML is supposed to be cut down versions

[quasi dust]

thats exactly what im trying to do actually. i have a mod that is in MBIN , But i want to try to convert it to EXML so i can keep using it after NMS has updates

so i can do that? and take the converted MBIN to EXML. then drop it in the mod folder?

and as a way to start familiarising myself with modding here

[hearty wasp]

https://nmsmodding.fandom.com/wiki/Principles_of_EXML_Modification

[vale iron]

EXML is a good way to start with modding, but you need to be familiar with what works in EXML and what doesn't

[quasi dust]

Create a .pak File:
Use PsarcTool to package the modified .mbn file (and any other changed files) into a new .pak archive.
Install the Modified Mod:
Place your new .pak file into the MODS folder within your No Man's Sky PCBANKS directory.

this isnt the way to do it any more am i right?

[final hazel]

Super extra bonus no

[vale iron]

Not even close

Follow the instructions in the Modding After 5.58 document, pinned in this channel

[quasi dust]

sorry thats the last two entires from a modding description, this is full: Locate the Game's Modding Folder:
Navigate to your No Man's Sky installation folder.
Open the GAMEDATA folder.
Go to PCBANKS and create a new folder named MODS if it doesn't exist.
Obtain the Necessary Tools:
MBINCompiler: Download this tool to convert between .mbn and .exml files.
Notepad++: A recommended text editor for editing the decompiled .exml files.
PsarcTool: Use this to package your modified files into a .pak archive.
Decompile the .mbn File:
Locate the .mbn file you want to edit within the mod's archive.
Drag and drop this .mbn file onto the mbincompiler.exe executable to decompile it into an .exml file.
Edit the .exml File:
Open the newly created .exml file in Notepad++.
Make your desired changes to the settings and values within the file.
Save the .exml file.
Recompile the .exml File:
Drag the modified .exml file onto the mbincompiler.exe to recompile it back into a .mbn file.
Create a .pak File:
Use PsarcTool to package the modified .mbn file (and any other changed files) into a new .pak archive.
Install the Modified Mod:
Place your new .pak file into the MODS folder within your No Man's Sky PCBANKS directory.
Launch the game to test your mod

[quasi dust]

ok il look at that

[vale iron]

Sorry, ain't gonna read all that

[idle spear]

How do I install mods? All the tutorials are for the Steam version I'm on Game Pass

[solid hawk]

Works the same, Steam, GoG, or GamePass. Mod folders go into GAMEDATA\MODS

[final hazel]

The gamepass version should be identical, besides there being some weird intermediary "content" folder if I remember correctly

[idle spear]

It is kinda but there's no easy way to access the files i need to put the mod in

[idle spear]

How do i access that though?

Ive tried %localappdata% like minecraft

Its not letting me see the file location

[final hazel]

From what I remember, you should be able to click a "3 lines" button on the game in the Xbox App to browse local files in a similar manner to Steam

[idle spear]

Ive found gamedata what do i do

[final hazel]

Create a MODS folder in it, and place the desired mod folders within it

make sure that the individual mod folders aren't buried an extra folder deep (like have a bunch of numbers etc)

We have a doc to assist in installing and troubleshooting mods too #nms-modding message

[frank pelican]

Hey all, newb question... how do I access the dialogs with Firmware Update for the Signal Booster? Or, how do I use the mod?

[final hazel]

The dialogues are added when the mod is installed and read by the game on startup. If the dialogues do not appear for you when interacting with a Signal Booster then the mod is not installed properly
Follow the troubleshooting guide #nms-modding message and make sure that the mod isn't buried one folder deep

[frank pelican]

Interacting with a signal booster?? Ah, OK. now I understand. And the mod is working ... Thank you for the explanation.

[round sinew]

hey, can someone help me find the internal id for this corvette part?

[final hazel]

Dangit I just turned off my PC, I'd be able to check with a save editor

In the corvette workshop cache inventory

[round sinew]

wait can i do that?

or only if i have the part?

i assume the latter ofc

orrr

i could duh!! add the part via save editor?

[final hazel]

Oh also if this is about the base object and not the item, it might have multiple flipped variants

[round sinew]

it's about a corvette part so yeah, might be rotated too

[final hazel]

At least in goatfungus not atm, I think the parts aren't currently able to be added using it's add item dialogue

[round sinew]

ah okay

so basically.. i'd go and loot/trade one

[final hazel]

Could add the item to a corvette using creative

[round sinew]

yeah and then delete it after changing difficulty settings to normal or something

yeah, that's much quicker

[final hazel]

Then once you have it you can see it's ID, which at the very least should resemble what the base object uses maybe probably

[round sinew]

yeah, hopefully

let me go try

[final hazel]

Oh also the base building editor may make this All Super Easy I realize

[round sinew]

oh. i dont have that setup anymore i dont think

[final hazel]

It's portable at least

Could just ask for json base data, remove the part then send the json data back

[round sinew]

oh yeah, there's that - i wonder if that runs on linux 😅

anyway

[final hazel]

Oooo good question actually

[round sinew]

thanks for your time

i assume you're off to get some rest, enjoy

[haughty stratus]

does anybody know how i can edit the rawjson file of a save file to change one item id to another? ( im looking to see if i can add to my save tech upgrades as new, and not as they were insalled so they are able give to other players)

[unborn thunder]

Save files are not json

You could probably use a save editor

[shy grove]

I'm not super clear on what you're trying to accomplish, but a save editor could help. I personally like "goatfungus". See more info with helpful links in this pin: #nms-modding message

[frank pelican]

Are there any mods for Corvette building similar to Place Anywhere for Fallout?

[haughty stratus]

the issue that i have now is, when i add any tech upgrade with the editor, the tech gets in the inv, but is grey like when you install one (ship, tool, etc) and then you store it, so that one cant be givin to other player on that state, i want to get it so is able to be trade
i check maybe is some flag on the json that marks the item somehow

[sullen crater]

what are kike the mosst essential mods and how do i mod

?

how do i install mods i mean?

[frigid grove]

Are you attempting to do this on X class tech modules by any chance?

[haughty stratus]

tbh i dont not remember if i try on others.. i think yes but i have to confirm in a sec

@sullen crater i use some small ones, and is super easy to make them work. nexus mod the website and using vortex to install them if you want i give you a hand on how go step by step

[sullen crater]

lets get it

[frigid grove]

X class tech modules are funny. One thing to keep in mind is HG doesn't use standards compliant json, so if you attempt to use something that does use standard json, your stored x class modules will become corrupted. It's what's keeping me from releasing an in-browser save editor. In the HG save they look like this:
"Id":"^\x80\x82$N\xC6\xE8#51374", but that isn't valid utf8/16/32 so it'll get changed to this '"Id":"^\x80\x82$NÆè#51374",' which HG doesn't understand

That said, I believe goatfungus and nomnom fixed this in their json editors, so as long as you don't export the json somewhere that will "properly" encode it, then it should be fine.

[sullen crater]

alright so i download vortex modding tool from nexus first yes?

[haughty stratus]

lets get into a vc, stream 3 if you want

[sullen crater]

nah

[haughty stratus]

ok, so go ahead and check nexus mods and install the mod installed they have called nexus. if you have any question just let me know, even the software has a small tutorial on the interface itself

[haughty stratus]

well i did add for example the plasmatic warp injector, a common tech for freighters, and is added as grey right away.

or q-resonator, same that is a b class upgrade for infraknife

[sullen crater]

@haughty stratus so i like just drag urls here

[frigid grove]

You did this by hand or with a gui?

[haughty stratus]

with the gui. still learning how the code works with items

[haughty stratus]

go to the website, nexus mods, and check any mod you want, and use mod manager download and will get installed by itself

[frigid grove]

huh, in that case it should work fine. Which save editor did you use?

[sullen crater]

@haughty stratus 1 mod down thats it yeah?

[haughty stratus]

yeah, run the game with the play buttom on the top left where the game pic is showing, just one time and will work

the game will tell you that you have mods installed every time you run it but is ok

btw, make a backup of your savefile if you want just in case, is better to do ofc, safe than sorry

[haughty stratus]

goatfungus im using

they work, but since they "where installed" cant be given

[sullen crater]

it did that

[haughty stratus]

well, enjoy the mods! 🫡 i can give you a list that i love for my game and i use if you want

[sullen crater]

yes

do that

[frigid grove]

Oooooh, I get it. ok in that case if you want to see the difference between an installed stored tech package and a non-installed stored tech package, you can load a save and go to Edit -> Edit Raw JSON. There's probably some installed flag.

[haughty stratus]

yeah i was thinking about that. only thing is hard to find the item itself. any quick tip to find the id or something or is just reading the entire inventory code?

[frigid grove]

You can navigate to BaseContext -> PlayerStateData

From there it will be in
Inventory -> Slots (exosuit)
ShipInventory -> Slots
or FreighterInventory -> Slots

[haughty stratus]

check dm 🫡

[haughty stratus]

ill check that out thanks

[sullen crater]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/797 should i try out this one

[haughty stratus]

didnt try it out, but give it a shot, if you pc can handle it just go for it

[frigid grove]

Actually I happened to have a stored tech module and a regular upgrade module I had bought and I don't see a difference aside from the ID. My guess is you just can't trade stored tech. However I think there are different items out there (like rewards you get from various expeditions) that are different from the stored tech you can make, but they look the same. Another way to get this type of tech is to interact with a grave and get a Memory Fragment, then open that and get some pre-packaged tech that I assume you can trade (since you can sell those for lots more nanites than you can sell tech that you package).

[haughty stratus]

i mean, i know you can give tech to others as long you dont install them, im checking the file content for now maybe i spot something

[frigid grove]

It's pretty straightforward, I just don't think you can trade tech you packaged.

[haughty stratus]

yeah..

[frigid grove]

So the packaged tech you (probably) can trade will have different ID's. Who knows if those are in the save editors though.

And who knows if there is a 1:1 relationship between every tech upgrade and those.

[haughty stratus]

im using a new save file. with no items at all. and i added a tech and looks like this.

[frigid grove]

yep

[haughty stratus]

the FullyInstalled is what i think if i turn to false... idk

[frigid grove]

nope

That was my guess as well, but my non-stored upgrades have it too

[haughty stratus]

yeah i just got errors everywhere lol

yeah i dont know, i still think has to be a flag somewhere. maybe we are looking on the wrong place i have no idea

[frigid grove]

Eh, you get packaged tech quickly enough in the current expedition, I'll just go see what those items look like since I'm curious now

[haughty stratus]

when you say packaged tech is when i say (maybe incorrect) the already installed ones?

[frigid grove]

Well this is what I'm saying, there are two types of packaged tech

Packaged tech reward: Sells for lots of nanites
Packaged tech you make: Sells for 16 nanites

[haughty stratus]

ohhhh

how they look in game? i dont know that or maybe i forgot totally

[frigid grove]

So you need to find those id's if you want to be able to trade them

[frigid grove]

No clue, that's why I'm playing Corvette for the 9th time, lol

[haughty stratus]

ohh ok

[frigid grove]

Yeah, I doubt the editor knows what these are. But it's based on the Id - which you'll just have to know

{
    "Type":{
        "InventoryType":"Product"
    },
    "Id":"^UP_SHOTGUN",
    "Amount":1,
    "MaxAmount":10,
    "DamageFactor":0.0,
    "FullyInstalled":true,
    "AddedAutomatically":false,
    "Index":{
        "X":3,
        "Y":0
    }
}

[frigid grove]

However, the corresponding name for ^UP_SHOTGUN when installed is ^SHOTGUN, so I guess you could try adding a ^UP_UT_SHIPMINI to get a packaged Q-Resonator (^UT_SHIPMINI).

I think they probably add these manually though, so like I said it may not be 1:1.

[haughty stratus]

ill try thanks

[frigid grove]

and no, lol

[haughty stratus]

the thing is the id looks like this...

[frigid grove]

Yes, that is what a packed tech YOU make looks like

[haughty stratus]

aright, ill try something else i think i have an idea

[frigid grove]

And ^UP_UT_SHIPMINI is not a valid item, so the verdict is the pre-packaged techs do not have a 1:1 relationship with all tech, so you will only be able to make some that are tradeable

Random, but I happened to have the language files open (and converted to json) and noticed you could probably infer all the pre-packaged tech item names from there:

"UP_BOLT1_NAME":"BOLTCASTER MODULE",
"UP_BOLT1_NAME_L":"Boltcaster Module",

Probably a better place to pull the possible item names from though

[haughty stratus]

i notice i use 2 of the same techs, and i check if the id is the same when they get package, they have the same id but the last 5 digits on this they do change, even when they are 2 of the same items, only happen when they get into package item

[frigid grove]

yep, that's how they do the s-c class upgrades to determine the random attributes

[haughty stratus]

oh, they are not the same in game. even they were.

yeahh

ok so i have some idea

[frigid grove]

The ID's for non-packaged c-s class tech will look like this: ^U_HYPER4. So most likely the game just knows to not allow trading when the ID looks more like a bunch of random characters.

[haughty stratus]

i think i got it

i got it, i turn them back

even after installed

"Type":{ "InventoryType":"Product" }, "Id":"^\x80\x80\xB7I5\xDA#81250",
the only thing that has to get changed is the whole id. so knowing the id of the tech you can get it into tradable

i wont give it away to anyone cuz i dont how will behave, but so far the game let me install and nothing bad happen so great news 👍

[frigid grove]

It will behave just like the regular item, that's what the ID is for

[haughty stratus]

yeah, the only thing if someone looks for a specific one im sure that number that gets the stats is random

but is a step

[solid hawk]

1. There are NO essential mods. 100% subjective.
2. Don't use somebody elses list. Guarenteed there will be ones in there you hate, due to #1
3. Look through on NexusMods and choose the ones that appeal to YOU. Sort by date. Any mods last updated prior to 29 January 2025 cannot work. As such lists like most downloaded or most endorsed, at least half of the mods are completely dead.

What exeactly do the differnt properties do in this Script. It should reduce the time i need to recharge my hazard protection by 10%. But what do the fixed values mean?

[solid hawk]

There's no property definition dictionary. Only the ONE person who made that mod would have messed with it, most likely. So either ask the original mod author or start playing with the settings, one at a time, and see what the effect is in-game.

[gray jungle]

I'm new to the building app but i've worked with similar programs before. I wondering though how the mirror function works. It doesn't seem to do anything with corvette parts. Anything i'm missing here?

[hardy aurora]

@solid hawk

Unapproved Discord invite

[solid hawk]

I don't use the app myself much, but the author does have his own Discord for official support. Might be quicker and more definitive to ask there. Link to the Discord on the DESCRIPTION tab of the page on NexusMods.

[gray jungle]

gunter acting up again?

[solid hawk]

It didn't recognize the link, not whitelisted

Here's the link btw @gray jungle (@solid hawk ): https://discord.gg/kpGVRKPn5W

ah that's helpful thnak you, both

[solid hawk]

Yep 🙂

See if Doc wants to add to the whitelist. 🙂

[gray jungle]

oooooh i get it now...It's not a mirror function like i had in mind lol it's just the same as flipping one part like in the game. I jsut happened to have something selected that was already symmetrical

i was kinda hoping for something where i'd only need to build half a ship and the mirror everything to the other side

ah well

[olive sierra]

Very sorry, I'm currently setting up AMUMSS, and I'm being asked if I'm using Public or Experimental.
I'm not sure which I have or what they even refer to.

"User previously reported using NMS 'Experimental' version"

[final hazel]

Are you playing the public or experimental release of No Man's Sky?

The experimental branch is an opt-in, if you do not se "Selected Version: experimental" on Steam then you are not in experimental

[olive sierra]

Ah, okay, thank you very much. No, I do not see that.
Is multiplayer still possible if both parties use the experimental version?

[final hazel]

Yes, it is, though currently experimental is on the same "Save Version" as other platforms, meaning it can play with all other platforms currently. This will most likely change when it is next updated though

[olive sierra]

Okay, thank you very much

[olive sierra]

If a mod specifically mentions installation instructions and doesn't mention vortex.. can I still use vortex to install it?
Specifically the Remove Technology Overload mod

[solid hawk]

Few NMS mods mention vortex, because generally not recommended for use with NMS, due to many people having issues. If it's working fine for you, then count your lucky stars and can use with whichever mods you wish.

[olive sierra]

Oh dear, okay ^ ^;
Is there a better mod manager for NMS?

[solid hawk]

Yes, install manually

Foolproof tried and true method.

Extract downloaded mod archive to GAMEDATA\MODS. Check for updates on NexusMods every so often. Done. 🙂

[rapid mango]

thank you for making it say nms-modding

[hearty wasp]

well it's not made for modding skyrim now is it

[vale iron]

Updated to version 10 and 131 mods. I think I'll be leaving it alone for the weekend:
https://www.nexusmods.com/games/nomanssky/collections/7qowkp

[tough quarry]

Are these mods installed correctly? I get the mod message on startup but some of the mods dont seem to be working.

[final hazel]

One of those mods is a pak, which is not read by the game anymore

[hearty wasp]

describe how not working they are

i.e. what kind of expected behaviour you're not getting

[tough quarry]

the tech overload does not seem to work when i add more modules. I will check that pak file for an alternative

[hearty wasp]

post a screenshot inside of that mod's folder if you can

[fair crown]

[wide anchor]

Is there a mod that everyone uses? Or most of players just vanilla?

[hearty wasp]

that should work

[tough quarry]

Ok will add install some modules to see if it works. I don’t think it helped having a pak file in the folder.

[hearty wasp]

paks just don't get loaded

doesn't have any effect

if that mod still doesn't work then post some screenshots of your tech inventory and post that along with your MODS folder on the mod page's comment section ig

[olive sierra]

Would anyone have any performance/fps mod recommendations?

[hearty wasp]

just use dlss

[olive sierra]

No thank you

[hearty wasp]

then you'd just have to mod your PC by putting in a better gpu/cpu

[olive sierra]

No thank you

I'd rather just know if there are any worthwhile mods that actually improve performance

[hearty wasp]

no

[olive sierra]

Or, at the very least, a fucking hardware cursor mod

[hearty wasp]

that's why I said those other things

[olive sierra]

You provide answers in a conflicting order

[hearty wasp]

there're mods that allegedly make it worse tho

[solid hawk]

Given mods can only be used by PC players, somewhere less than 1% of NMS players overall use mods. There are no must haves, very subjective thing. You have to chose the mods you wish based on how you play and what you want to change. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/newrecently No NMS mods last updated prior to 29 January 2025, so can only use mods from most of this year.

[solid hawk]

Good luck with that

[spare glacier]

Is there possibly a mod based on the soundtrack thing only?

I wish

[solid hawk]

Nope

[spare glacier]

So sad

[hearty wasp]

does spotify not have them

[solid hawk]

Nor could such a thing be published, based on NexusMods rules around copyright, without express written consent of the copyright holder. Would be theft, unless it's been open sourced by the actual owner.

[spare glacier]

I saw mods for The Sims that added soundtracks from previous games, such as The Sims 2 or 1, to The Sims 3. In gameplay, these soundtracks replaced the menu themes, build mode themes, etc. It was a lot of fun when you felt nostalgic for another game. Personally, I consider Spore to be the father of NMS.

[solid hawk]

The Sims all have the same owning company.

Spore and NMS do not

[spare glacier]

Ah yup

[round sinew]

@buoyant jetty what save editor did you decide to go with? any of them should work

[buoyant jetty]

idk where to start theres so much

[round sinew]

first download nmssaveeditor.exe for example

[buoyant jetty]

this is needed

[round sinew]

if you dont already have it installed, yes

[buoyant jetty]

which one outta the three

just first

i recognize that java simbol

alr i got it

now what

?

bk wya

@round sinew

[round sinew]

now you need to browse to the save folder path - that one we saw in -questions

[buoyant jetty]

thats alot of opening i gotchu

[frigid grove]

~~Are there any other folks around who have looked into expedition configs etc? It'd be great if someone real familiar with the more internal parts of the game knew which options were available and valid etc.

I just found out they changed the BuildingType key to SearchType in the ScanEventTable for Corvette (which makes sense, because the rdv's are on the space station rather than a building on a planet). Changing the key name enables the rdv's on planets again, but I can't figure out how to make it look for a specific building type like it used to do (for example, Abandoned) - seems to just pick a random type.~~

nm, figured it out. Feel kinda dumb I didn't think of this earlier. I extracted all the .pak files with MXML in them and discovered metadata/gamestate/defaultseasonaldata.MXML. I wrote a MXML -> json converter because fuck reading xml and realized I needed to change

        "BuildingType": "BuildingClass",
        "BuildingClass": {
          "BuildingClass": "LargeBuilding"
        },

to

        "SearchType": "FindBuildingClass",
        "SpecificBuildingClass": {
          "BuildingClass": "LargeBuilding"
        }

[buoyant jetty]

@round sinew

[round sinew]

open containers.index

seems that it's already opened in the back

[buoyant jetty]

saves cooked

ggs

[round sinew]

and if you select like slot1, it doesnt open anything?

[buoyant jetty]

nope gives me a error

[buoyant jetty]

ik its over

[round sinew]

well, just start a new save. if there's stuff you lost, you could easily get it back using save editor

[buoyant jetty]

i hate that ive been looking for a s class drednought for so long

finally got it yesterday

lmao

[buoyant jetty]

how

whos save file am i gonna get

[round sinew]

make a new one - in game

set difficulty to creative mode, literally blaze through the storylines if you want to

anything else you had but lost just get via save editor

[round sinew]

bumping this because i felt bad it getting buried - i dont know this much to help with this one, but ^

[buoyant jetty]

can i delete those saves to see if my game loads in faster

useless anyway

[round sinew]

sure

[frigid grove]

Ha, I kinda figured it would but I'm pretty sure I'm alone in this particular jungle.

[rose osprey]

Question about gBase + BBB. Is it supposed to negate Base Out Of Range error? Cos I'm getting the error while building inside my corvette. Some habs in my corvette even make me spacewalk (yes, INSIDE). Not sure why this is happening

[vale iron]

That's a corvette issue from the game, not from one of the mods. When in a corvette, the more the size changes, the more likely it's going to think the piece is in some weird far away dimension. You can minimize it by changing your angle, the location of the item, or the size.

[rose osprey]

I don't resize anything yet either. Only explanation I see is that my corvette must be too massive that the outer edges aren't part of the "base" anymore. The outer habs of the corvette, even the build menu goes empty

so basically, bbb + gbase doesn't touch base limits?

[rose osprey]

yeah nah. just loaded an older save and I could walk in those habs. I don't know what else changed besides designing the interiors of my corvette but it's like the base limits shrunk

i'm done with this corvette. goodbye 80 hours of work

Those base mods don't affect corvette building area

[rose osprey]

yeah something must've happened between the older save and my latest save. irregardless i'm not keen on reliving 80 hours of passion building in the same habs I'd already previously designed

might revisit if corvette base limits get expanded but till then I'm shelving this corvette. Why stress myself out in a game

kinda irks me that I have a different bigger corvette that doesn't run into the base out of range issue

[vale iron]

I'm 99.2% sure they will not increase corvette base building area. I would suggest playing with the size, location, and angle, maybe even the location you are using to do your building. Also, irregardless isn't a word.

im trying to install a save editor for my xbox save but goatfungus isnt working and im worried about nom noms ca root cert

can someone whos used a save editor for their xbox file please help me

[viscid sorrel]

Is there a way to save edit the rift-walker title?

[fossil hemlock]

does anyone know how to use goat fungus to start a quest or skip requirements for a quest

[thick plinth]

Does anyone knwo of a mopd that make sit so I dont fall down afetr initial jetpack boost

[solid hawk]

Expedition titles can be save edited in, just like any other expedition reward. In the account data json.

[solid hawk]

Doing so is a very arcane, difficult, and dangerous undertaking. Can very easily screw up your save by doing so. What little documentation exists can be found on the Creative and Sharing Discord in the arcane’s-answers-faq channel.

[solid hawk]

There is none.

[final hazel]

If this is about purple systems, there is a mod that unlocks those and skips the mission I believe

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3330

[fossil hemlock]

is that the echo autophage quest?

and does it work for gaamepass?

[final hazel]

No, it's the mission after it

[fossil hemlock]

i cant get the echo one to start

[final hazel]

If you have the main story completed and the Aeron Turbojet backpack unlocked then it's just a warp away #nms-commands message

[final hazel]

All mods are available on all PC platforms (except Mac i think)

[fossil hemlock]

ive done everyting evry wiki forum and video has said ive done the settlers the story the sentinel dreadnaught the harmoic camps the warping all of it and it wont start

[final hazel]

Two of those three things are completely unrelated, They Who Returned only has two requirements which I've described

Check your log's primary missions for the mission "New Beginnings". If you lack that, progress the main story #nms-commands message

Check your Appearance Modifier's backpack menu for the Aeron Turbojet option. If you lack that, locate and lift the seal of a harmonic camp #nms-commands message

If you have both of those, warp to any system by opening the Galaxy Map, if a freighter rescue event occurs then warp again

If all of that still does not lead you to the mission, then check your Secondary Missions in your log to make sure you do not already have the mission, the secondary missions section has multiple pages

[fossil hemlock]

ive looked i have the jetpack its not in my missions and the jumps not working

[final hazel]

Then make a ticket to Hello Games to let them know that this issue exists, this is the first time I have seen one like this https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and I guess use this mod that unlocks everything related to They Who Returned early and instantly https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3065

The mission should always begin if both New Beginnings is reached and the Aeron Turbojet backpack is unlocked, after the player warps in a starship (warping in a freighter does not count) without being interrupted by a freighter rescue event

[viscid sorrel]

Rift-walker title isnt obtainable anymore, its not tied to expedition rewards. Was just wondering if save editors had a way to give titles not tied to expeditions

[solid hawk]

Same methodology.

[lyric walrus]

there’s one on nexus i forget what it’s called

but i remember seeing it

[wet wolf]

Does anyone know a viable online resource that will let me edit the seed of my sentinel ship? I literally just want to change its color and the only thing i can find is NMS Ship Customizer, which both wont let me import my own seed and won't give me the ship seed for anything I design. I literally just want to change the colors, are there any sites that will let me?

[cobalt condor]

That's not how seeds work, unfortunatley. Changing even one character in the seed will generate an entirely different interceptor so you can't just reroll the colour and nothing else. You can flip the 'use legacy colours' option on it in the save editor and (if the interceptor is using the right texture set) it should change to a different set of colours, but you only have the two options per seed, legacy and default.

Anyone knowledgeable with modding know how to get an older mod to work in the new system?

Specifically, I'm trying to get the "suit refiner silent" mod to work

because the refining noise is driving me insane, despite how useful it is

[pearl fiber]

about the corvette complexity limit:
i know theres a mod to remove it, and i ordinarily dont really want to use it but if you install the mod to remove the limit, edit the ship and remove the mod after, will it still function properly?

I added some windows to my ship and i dont want to remove them all to make changes to it

[azure hamlet]

I have a few other quality of life mods working, like "Instant text display", and there appears to be no entry in the GCMODSTTINGS.MXML file for 'silent suit refiner', even though the files are in the right place

I suspect something isnt correct with the .lua file associated with, I'm not familiar with the lua scripting language, but very familiar with C and python, so its something I could use some help with

[fluid lagoon]

I was told you can save-edit to get older expedition rewards.

Am I able to do this on my ps5?

[frigid grove]

Not unless you cross play onto PC and sync back to your ps5

[azure hamlet]

Here's the .lua file that isn't working, and a working example of one that IS working. 'silent suit refiner.lua' is what I suspect has something missing, 'Instant Text Display.lua' is functional and modernized

[haughty stratus]

ill take a look gimme some time

[azure hamlet]

I stared at it for a while, and decided to try and sidestep, there were two other mods on nexus for the same functionality, one of the other two worked after a bit of file management

sometimes just asking for help makes a solution pop up, no idea what variant of karma or Murphys law that is

[spring slate]

hey guys i think i messed up my modded file

i accidentally pressed the option to disable the mods when it crashed out and now some of the mods i had installed arent working anymore

could someone help me?

[azure hamlet]

thats likely easy, one sec

[spring slate]

thank God

[azure hamlet]

go to binarys > SETTINGS > GCMODSETTINGS> GCMODSETTINGS.MXML, open the .MXML file in notepad, and see if the value for the field "DisableAllMods" is set to "true"

if it's true, set it to false, save and close the file, and you should be good

If the original issue was a mod conflict or other bug with a specific mod, you'll have to remove or fix that specific mod, and thats beyond my current knowledge

[spring slate]

im gonna try it, thx alot

it worked, tysm

[azure hamlet]

np, hopefully you dont crash again, if you know what mod caused it just remove it

[haughty stratus]

glad you make it work

[pearl fiber]

what happens if you install then uninstall the corvette complexity unlock mod?

[cobalt condor]

The game only checks the complexity when you leave the corvette editing mode in the station. So your corvette will still work totally fine without the mod but you won't be able to save changes if it's over the limit.

[solid hawk]

This one should work: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3411

[olive sierra]

Anyone know of any mods that allow you to mark/tag multiple POIs at once?

[final hazel]

I believe that isn't possible

[olive sierra]

..bozhe moi!

Know of any mods that add that function without relying on the original functionality?
A work-around?

[vale iron]

We can't add functionality that doesn't already exist in the game, so there's no way to add that

[undone flower]

does anyone have the link to the guide on how to copy ships from one save to another?

nvm i got it :p

[north seal]

I'm looking to get my hands on all the Korvax words available for the latest game version (Voyagers). Many resources online are severely outdated and contain incomplete translations. If it is possible to source these from the game, the data would be invaluable to me as a nerdy linguistics enthusiast. I also hope to create a useable online translator.

I am new to all of this, so I do apologize in advance if this is not an appropriate request.

[vale iron]

Not all words can be translated. They have racial equivalents, but you can't learn them. I think GoatFungus's NMSSE has a panel with up to date words. I don't recall where they would be in the extracted files, unfortunately.

[heavy merlin]

I think someone did make an online translator comparatively recently?

[rapid sandal]

You can use NMSMB to query and get a list e.g.:

It's a bit more involved for human languages other than english since you need to first get all of them for english to get the id's then get for the human languages e.g. french.
This is based on using the EXP_* = * pattern in the language mbin's. If there is a list somewhere with those text id's then it's even easier. I have to think there is a master text id list somewhere, i just don't know where. METADATA/REALITY/TABLES/NMS_DIALOG_GCALIENSPEECHTABLE.MBIN

[heavy merlin]

https://nomanstranslator.github.io not sure if that's the one I was thinking of, but may be good enough? Or could add to that if there are things missing?

[north seal]

Thank you for all the resources and tips. 🙏

[rapid sandal]

Updated with another method that uses the METADATA/REALITY/TABLES/NMS_DIALOG_GCALIENSPEECHTABLE.MBIN instead of relying on text id pattern matching.
... still looking for the list of the alien language text that matches the human language text e.g. from the translator site linked above the Gek for "knowledge" is "udutafabok", but i can't find that in any of the mbin's or text files or the nms.exe ... maybe the alien word is generated from a hash of the english word .. which would also explain why the lower and upper case versions of the alien word are so different ?

[north seal]

I'm going to deep dive on all this after I eat. Intruiging discrepancies.

[rose osprey]

question about .WEM files, do they clash with any other mods? Are they permanent changes, or is uninstalling it is the same as other mods, just delete it out of the MODS folder?

also do they work with the latest build like EXMLs do

[silver condor]

is there something that lets me put a base comp on a settlement?

[rapid sandal]

no mods make permanent changes, the game just loads whatever is in the mod folder and merges or replaces the existing content it has already loaded for the given asset. deleting the folder for the given mod means the game won't have those assets to replace or merge. a mod with a wem file would be a replacement (last loaded wins) or add mod, it would replace the existing wem if it exists or add a new one (if appropriate assets are updated to use the new wem).

[rose osprey]

Ah good to know. do WEM files work with the current game? Since the way mods work apparently changed since this year?

[rapid sandal]

what changed is mainly:

1. before all mod assets were in a pak, now they are loose files.
2. you can now use exml instead of full mbins, the exml contain just the changes to be made and those changes are merged by the game when it runs.
   so now instead of the wem being in a pak it's a loose file in the given mod folder.

[rose osprey]

I see. Okay, thanks!

[silver condor]

@vale iron gm, is gbase boundaries working with 6.06?

[vale iron]

Yes, unlikely to need any updates anytime soon

[grand anvil]

Hey guys. Anyone know of any mods I can download that would allow me to use my corvette without having to have any of the necessary parts to use it...?
