[hearty wasp]

if it doesn't involve using a mod it's prolly better to ask in #nms-questions

[warm finch]

hey guys! what are the best mods for base building? does anyone know how to get this floor?

[final hazel]

That's just what the Freighter Exterior Platform looks like when it is placed in a line like that

Also the main base building mod that most people use is https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1096

[warm finch]

tyvm! it is not possible to adapt the feighter exterior to a normal base?

[final hazel]

It is possible, using the mod linked above

[warm finch]

perfect ! merci

[silver condor]

DD sizeitall as well allows to scale normally non scalable items and include a few more than bbb.. i use both along with gbase scaling

[remote wren]

Is there a mod that allows me to tame all the living beings I find?

And the mods of Consumism and Comunism are not working right?

[final hazel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1868

[final hazel]

They are fully working to my knowledge

[remote wren]

Y put the mods in my game like normally i do and are not working idk if I’m doing someone wrong

[final hazel]

Are they accidentally placed an extra folder deep? Are they the only mods that you are using?

[remote wren]

like this

[final hazel]

They are indeed an extra folder too deep

[remote wren]

oooooh

you are right

[final hazel]

The numbers indicate so

[remote wren]

thanks

sorry

[final hazel]

It's okay, it's not obvious

[warm finch]

guys my mods are not working anymore and i dont know why. did i install them correctly?

[final hazel]

Have you tried deleting No Man's Sky\Binaries\SETTINGS\GCMODSETTINGS.MXML?

[warm finch]

no i havent done anything in this regard. should i delete it ?

[final hazel]

Yes, deleting GCMODSETTINGS.MXML is the first troubleshooting step http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

[warm finch]

ok will try it out! thx for ur help

hell yeah! working again. o7

[twilit needle]

Excuse me, what mod do I have to install to be able to play the previous expeditions?

[final hazel]

Technically none, just use this website to generate a file to replace your existing SEASON_DATA_CACHE.JSON https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/

[twilit needle]

ooo thanks

[final hazel]

and of course read everything

[twilit needle]

okay🤧 \

[warm finch]

grouch can u please tell me what i need to do to get this floor plates? i cant figure it out 🙁

[final hazel]

Research it at your freighter's bridge using 1 Salvaged Frigate Module

[warm finch]

i havent found it there. i was just there. gawd damn it. but i also dont have the salvaged frigate modules yet. guess i need to focus on that first

[final hazel]

It can be found here.

[warm finch]

ooooh i thought its a normal floor panel like this one?

[final hazel]

Oh, it is not

They are their own modular object that connects with each other

[warm finch]

sad. i was hoping that i can use the floor style for my whole base. i like the visual more than the salvaged floor. especially when u have a lot on it

[narrow perch]

what is the fastest easiest method using mods to increase the size of a sail for a vette without using blender?

[vale iron]

The size of a sail? You mean like the physical size of a part?

[exotic wyvern]

is it posible to mod nms on xbox gamepass pc

[hearty wasp]

Yes

[final hazel]

Probably using https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3291

[narrow perch]

i tried that mod and it works to resize parts that are already resizable but the sail pieces u cant resize and i cant get the glitch resizing to work on them either

[final hazel]

Then use https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3794 too

[narrow perch]

installing right now! thanks

[final hazel]

or at least https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1096 which is the basic "big base building mod" that everyone uses

[covert zealot]

is nomnom not working atm?

i was gonna download it to fix the space anomaly : beyond the system mission however the post i saw was a year ago and idk if that still works

[obtuse creek]

not sure if this helps but i recall someone saying if anything last updated before january is probably not.gonna work

[obtuse creek]

Is there a mod that deletes a claimed settlement? Or do i have to just keep claiming new ones? i want to relocate the settlement to a different area on the planet im on and the only way seems to be to get rid of it?

[final hazel]

You should be able to retire as settlement overseer in the vanilla game, in the settlement's "history" menu

[obtuse creek]

got ya, let me try to find that

thanks again!

i appcreciate the irony that you are helpful and nice, but named grouch, made me chuckle

[fierce rapids]

How do I re-enable mods in NMS? The game crashed and disabled the mods but I cannot turn it back on

[final hazel]

Delete No Man's Sky\Binaries\SETTINGS\GCMODSETTINGS.MXML

[obtuse creek]

Does upgrading a C Class freighter to S Class via Save Editor have any negative affect?

[obtuse creek]

or will it just be the same freighter with S class stats?

[solid hawk]

You should meet his brother, CompleteB*****d. Nicest person in the world. 🤪

[final hazel]

is that what bk means backwards

[obtuse creek]

lol

ended up keeping the S class i already had and just.changing the seed to change the look. it was a 5 section Sentinel already, so bumped it to 7

[rotund cosmos]

oops, wrong chat

[charred flame]

What are some decent graphics mods to start out with?

[final hazel]

This is mostly the extent of graphics mods that objectively add more detail:
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1316
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1083
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2866

[hearty wasp]

An RTX5090ti would be nice too

[final hazel]

And some reshade preset that desaturates everything and messes up the colors called "super NMS realism"

[warm finch]

hey guys, whats the name of the mod where u can change the size of the items?

[final hazel]

You can change the size of most base building objects in the vanilla game. Mods that increase the amount of objects that can be resized and increase those resizing limits can be found here:
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3794
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3291

[warm finch]

ty!

[half fog]

anyone know where you can find the 3d models in the game files

[cobalt condor]

all of them are in the models directory after you unpack the .pak files

if you don't want to unpack everything, NMSARC.EntitySceneMBIN.pak as well as the relevant NMSARC.Mesh... and NMSARC.Tex... paks should have all the files you need

[hearty wasp]

if you don't want to, know that you should

[half fog]

did you accidentally leave out part of the message or are you yoda?

[hearty wasp]

was adding onto "if you don't want to unpack everything"

[half fog]

oh i see

are the files named based on what they are, or is there a guide to follow to find the specific files

trying to find the files for the destroyed arcadia ship to use

[high epoch]

is there a mod that makes the mission descryption more dynamic and shows the same info that is available in the mission popup in the bottom right during gameplay?

for example the kill creates does not show how many need to be killed, and how many have already been killed, unlike the popup.

[half fog]

anyone know where the models for the fireship arcadia are stored?

[upbeat vector]

Hey all! I heard some people have been able to implant old expeditions for ones they missed. I only started playing during expedition 19, and would love to do this BUT. Is it dangerous? Should I be worried doing it?

[glossy rapids]

I'm trying to make sure that all my mods are working together as intended, so can someone please look at my MODS_status.lua and check if there's some crucial errors?

Uploaded the file there: https://hastebin.com/share/capimemoku.yaml

I'm only concerned about the following lines:
EXML used where a MBIN file is REQUIRED
MBIN files also exist of the EXML that are quite probably MXML files

[bitter hamlet]

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

^Anyone know if this works with the Breach update?

[final hazel]

It works completely fine with current versions

[bitter hamlet]

thank you ❤️

[final hazel]

Note that it is heavily advised to disable multipler when entering the space anomaly with extremely complex corvettes, as they can cause significant performance problems and even crashes for Xbox One and PS4 players (primarily when there are multiple corvettes)

[bitter hamlet]

noted! Luckily I'm only exceeding the limit by less than 10 parts!

I'll be sure to be considerate if I ever go bigger 👍🏻

[solid hawk]

May cause alopecia and severe acne.

Seriously though, what do you mean dangerous?

Is doing so going to blow up your save? Probably not. I've never heard of anyone get save corruption from doing so. That being said, there is no way to guarentee with 100% certainty that it couldn't happen. Very simple solution. Backup your save files first. 🙂

[vale iron]

Like rhesus monkeys escaped from an overturned truck

[upbeat vector]

sounds good! Thank you. Can I find a source in the pins? Or where would one find the way to do this

[solid hawk]

https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/

[upbeat vector]

Thanks boss!

[eternal creek]

ive done it

no issues

[vale iron]

Yeah, I've never heard of problems stemming from it, but as Babs said, there are no 100% guarantees

[high ruin]

Is there a possibility mods can clear out base refiners? I have opened the game after installing Solved Always Focuse, Font Fix, Instant Text Display and Natural Steering, and I went to check my runaway mould farm - only to see all refiners empty, not even the 4 moulds that'd be left from refining.

[vale iron]

Refiners clearing is a vanilla bug. Any kind of reload often clears them

Extremely unlikely to be mod related

[high ruin]

alright, much appreciated
I had revisited refiners before, but this happened only yesterday

(probably because it was first time i didn't completely empty out refiners)

[fluid fable]

Does BBA allow for complete freedom over the placement of Corvette parts?

[vale iron]

BBA?

[fluid fable]

Base Building App on Nexus Mods

Seen it being discussed a lot in modded Corvette building

[hearty wasp]

should

prolly should ask in wherever you were having the modded corvette building discussions

[obtuse creek]

Is there a mod that makes all freighters spawn as their S class variant? tired of reloading

[final hazel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2878

[obtuse creek]

thanks! couldnt seem to find it myself

seeing the name, i feel kinda silly having to ask

[fluid fable]

can I dupe a module several times using a save editor? Don't really wanna go through opening 50 suspicious modules to get the ones I want..

[final hazel]

You may easily do that with unopened upgrade modules, yes

Or copy the same very good module multiple times, though you will need to copy it's seed to the other modules too for them to have identical stats

[obtuse creek]

Is there a recommended mod manager besides vortex or is vortex the best?

[solid hawk]

By best, if you mean frequently breaks mods, then Vortex is the one.

Best method is manual install of mods.

[obtuse creek]

good to know

so if i want to use a collection

i should download each one individually?

or run it for the download and start it from steam?

[solid hawk]

That's what I would do, BUT pay careful attention to the collection mods. A lot of collections are put together without the curator vetting or actually using anything in the collection. Several recently created collections contain mods which are years old......in NMS land, NO mod last updated prior to 29 January 2025 can or will work.

[obtuse creek]

yeah, i think i was pretty thorough with that, using bossneults list rn

[solid hawk]

Only collections I would trust are these, but that's me.

[obtuse creek]

i was using those previously, probably going to mix and match over time. i know those are the safe lists though

[solid hawk]

Yep

[obtuse creek]

but the boss one.im using looks great, lots of cool features, so ill risk it. appreciate the warning.though!

[tribal latch]

Hey
Anyone knows some mods for corvette landing?(base)

[solid hawk]

If just using a collection, may then want to try Vortex, just for the convenience. Just keep an eye on it that it's a) extracting mods correctly b) extracting to the correct foler (GAMEDATA\MODS), both connon issues.

[obtuse creek]

so far so good, all in the right place, no CTDs

[obtuse creek]

hit my first issue though. pulse drive is takin a loooong time to activate

not sure if its intended or a mod issue

[final hazel]

that is not something that is ever changed by the vanilla game, so it is something changed by a mod

[obtuse creek]

thought so, time to dig!

anyone else experience this during their modding experience? not seeing anything that should directly affect the pulse engine start up

Isolated it to one of these two mods, if anyone else is having a slow pulse drive start up issue

Godzilla Pulse Drive or Sublter Pulse Drive Effects

Disable, delete the mod setting thing, reload game

[gentle remnant]

anyone had an issue with the save editor reverting your save to a previous version wfter making some changes?

[stuck holly]

so how do mods work in the multiplayer aspect? like obviously the bigger corvette mods show up, but like if i had a mod that made me go quicker on a spacewalk, would i just be faster compared to someone next to me?

[hearty wasp]

#nms-modding message

[stuck holly]

oh thank you

[tame relic]

hello how do i mod my game

i dont see the DISABLEMODS.txt file i dont see this file

[final hazel]

See #nms-modding message, DISABLEMODS.txt is no longer present or involved in installing mods since January 29th 2025 when mod installation was completely overhauled

[tame relic]

ty 😁

damn im reading the google doc, mods from pre 2025 wont work?

[final hazel]

That is true, yes. It's best advised to sort mods by last updated, like https://www.nexusmods.com/games/nomanssky/mods?sort=updatedAt

[tame relic]

also do i have to make a mods folder under game data folder, not sure if im reading correctly

[final hazel]

All mods that were last updated before January 29, 2025 will not work with the current game as it does not read .pak files anymore

[final hazel]

Yes, create a MODS folder within GAMEDATA

Then place individual extracted mod folders within that

Make sure to not have mods stuck an extra folder deep too

[tame relic]

idk how to use consumerism mod

i put it in the folder but i only see being able to claim past expedition rewards

i dont see all the past rewards in the exotic shop

[final hazel]

Did you get the mod warning on startup?

[tame relic]

yes

[final hazel]

Well then at least one mod should be active and working

[tame relic]

im not seeing the rewards in the quicksilver shop

idk what im doing wrong

am i able to screenshare to you

[final hazel]

They should all appear under "Create exotic items from Quicksilver"

[tame relic]

yeah i dont see any of that\

yet it says im playing a modded version of nms lol

[final hazel]

Please send a screenshot of the mod's file path from it's deepest point, like this

If you cannot send images here, send them in #nms-media

[tame relic]

ohh i thought the contents within ~!consumerism had to be put in and not the ~consumerism folder itself

i think i see my issue

[final hazel]

Yes, each mod must have it's own individual upper folder

[tame relic]

yeah thats the issue that fixed it

youre the goat brother i appreciate your help

any other mods you would suggest i download that improve gameplay, graphics etc

[final hazel]

If you have an extremely decent PC, https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1316

[tame relic]

ive got a high end pc

[final hazel]

In my opinion, this one I made makes an annoying part of the game much simpler https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3855 (I'm freakishly biased)

[tame relic]

can you dm me a picture of your modlist? i would like to go through what you have and see what i like since you seem to be an experienced player lol

[final hazel]

These are the ones that I use, some of them were specifically made by me and haven't been publically released just because they're so minor (Like GasGiantColorFix, VileBroodSalvageIconFix, GiantSeeker, RockhopperWingFix) and many of their names do not line up with their nexusmods names perfectly

[tame relic]

also i just purchased a bunch of bobbleheads from quicksilver store for my ship where does it put the collectables

i dont see it in inventory

[final hazel]

They are technology blueprints, you may build them in your starship's technology inventory

Only one will display in your ship's cockpit at a time

Each of them give small stat bonuses, so installing all of them may be beneficial

Especially the Polo, Artemis and Tentacled Figurines which share adjacency with the Starship Trails. Surrounding the Polo Figurine with similar tech and supercharging it grants a considerable amount of maneuverability

[tame relic]

i have another question

so im about to add the starborn runner ship to my inventoryu

do i have to exchange the current ship im using? its an s class

i have 4 ships all together idk what the total amount youcan have is

[final hazel]

You can have up to 12

[final hazel]

You should be able to press claim instead of exchange, though the UI it activates may be limited to exchanging in which just exchange it for a junk ship

[tame relic]

its telling me to exchange

[final hazel]

Yes, then you may need to exchange it with an existing ship, you could buy a new ship from a space station or just switch to your least valuable ship

[steel harbor]

Is there a mod that allows me to add any and all base parts to a corvette

[cobalt condor]

Beyond Base Building

[rigid gate]

That's the one. Was trying to find the proper name. 😅

[obtuse creek]

do i need BBB to add decorations, like the decorations you find on planets?

[rigid gate]

Don't think so.

[obtuse creek]

nice

[lone swallow]

is there a mod that increases the building limit on a base

[tribal latch]

Hey
Is there any mods for corvette landing?

[final hazel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3805 and/or https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3869

[lone swallow]

is there a mod that increases the building limit on a base

[final hazel]

No, as we cannot increase the limit of base objects per save using mods

The only thing that may do so is this: https://nomansapp.com/transcender but this is not a simple mod and requires a patreon subscription for that specific feature

[steel crypt]

All DUD's mods updated for NMS v6.12
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/jasondude7116/mods?sortBy=name

@round sinew

[round sinew]

yipeeee 😄 thanks for everything jason! 🙇‍♂️

[obtuse creek]

gonna try those when i get home

[obtuse creek]

Anyone got some other recommendations? Figure if im gonna add mods, might want some recommendations?

[obtuse creek]

thanks Jdude, downloaded about half of em, gonna try this out

[true slate]

Is there any mod that removes/fixes the instant respawn of some ressources like curious deposits?

[final hazel]

I do not believe mods can change save data like that, including add new events to stored interactions

[high epoch]

the issue with mods like those is that they seemingly never have any before/after images to compare. it always just sais "improved [colour/filter/etc]"

[tame relic]

is there a way to tell what mod is crashing my game

[obtuse creek]

could turn em off one by one, thats how i did mine

[final hazel]

Not without disabling different mods to find out

simply move them inside of a folder and test

then if that does not work, undo that and move the rest into the folder

[obtuse creek]

is there a current mod to force/ up the chance spawn exotics? been having terrible luck

[final hazel]

I don't believe so, if there isn't then I could possibly go make one

I think I know where the property that controls their rates resides

Well there is this one https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1844

[obtuse creek]

that sounds great, dont like the idea tbh but i also dont like sitting for an hour in a 3 star system lookibg

[final hazel]

Well system economy does not influence exotic ship spawn chances

[obtuse creek]

oh? i thought.it did

[final hazel]

It is consistently 1 in 301

[obtuse creek]

am i crazy or did it used to? and that changed?

[final hazel]

Never has been

[obtuse creek]

good to know

oh this mod might work

wonder if i could change the percents

oh sweet it already has preloaded versions

thank you so much!

oh wait, it changes the seeds, which makes sense

but does uninstalling remove the found ships?

[final hazel]

No, it never does

it shouldn't change what you acquire using it

I've made one just now that just increases exotic ship spawn chances by 25x, seeing if it will work

[obtuse creek]

i want to use it, but then it cant be shared with the community if anyone asks for the coords

that works too lmao

[final hazel]

The one I am making will not alter seeds

[obtuse creek]

that would be awesome

now i gotta check.out your mods. are you grouch on Nexus?

[final hazel]

I just made it right now

[obtuse creek]

trying it now!

[final hazel]

Yup, it works!

[obtuse creek]

bitchin! thank you so much!

do you have a mod page, collection thingy?

[final hazel]

Just the mods that I've made so far, that other people hadn't made yet https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/GrouchTheGreat/mods

I may turn this one into a mod of it's own

[obtuse creek]

totally worth it

[final hazel]

This mod may cause tiny desyncs with multiplayer, in that one player may see one type of ship and another might see another, or maybe it syncs it from one client and these exotics could be seen by nearby players (I doubt that)

This doesn't affect your own starship that you now have at all, just NPC ships

[obtuse creek]

all good, just want to be able to share.it if i find something special

[final hazel]

I really could use this to document hundreds of exotic ships on https://nmsce.com/ but that feels super wrong

[obtuse creek]

yeah i feel you on that. only planning to post like, super ships

and now to find home sweet home. i cant thank you enough!

something of note, reloading changes the exotic?

[final hazel]

The exotic ship should be the same across the entire star system, there should be only one design

If there is more than one exotic ship design in the same star system, that may be a different mod

I'm testing right now and still getting the same one that normally spawns in this system

[obtuse creek]

hmmmm

now i gotta find that mod and disable it

[final hazel]

waitwhat

nvm

there's a different exotic

[final hazel]

okay that's a kink that I have to fix

[obtuse creek]

oh wait

im....not brighr

bright rather

i forgot i warped

let me go back and check

[final hazel]

No I'm actually experiencing this now

there is a new exotic ship

I don't know why

[obtuse creek]

hang on, might have more info

might just be the first one thats different

[final hazel]

that shouldn't ever be the case

[obtuse creek]

mods do weird shit lmao

[final hazel]

well I need to make this mod stop alchemizing exotic ships

maybe it's because I lowered the chances for the other ships???

I will test

oooh, maybe they just take that many of the 21 seeds or something

I think I may understand it

[obtuse creek]

not sure what that all means but im testing as well

[final hazel]

I believe the numbers I changed also influence which ships get to use which of the generated ship seeds that a star system generates

Maybe I mustn't remove the chances from other ship types

[obtuse creek]

so changing spawn chance changes seed for the ships?

[final hazel]

no, it makes different ship types use more or less of the seeds

horror

[obtuse creek]

changing the percents creates a blank space to "crate" new exotics?

[final hazel]

no, it replaces an existing ship with an exotic

[obtuse creek]

ooooo

[final hazel]

still alchemizes unseen exotics :<

there may not be an easy way to do this, unless maybe I increase it's chances by less than 14x

[obtuse creek]

what if you add a new value, like living ship, reduce hauler ship, split the difference in percent between the 2?

[final hazel]

Then that would replace more ships with the wrong ones

[obtuse creek]

damn

[final hazel]

I think making it less than 15x may work

no idea though

May take more testing than before

[obtuse creek]

so if adding percent chance replaces, does that mean the actual ship for that system retains the original spawn chance and the extra is the new ship?

im down for testing if you are, im good at breaking stuff

[final hazel]

No, these numbers seem to govern both chance and amount of the seeds they take up

[obtuse creek]

that sounds like a pain

reason i asked, because so far ive only seen 2 dif types spawn

in a system

[final hazel]

Yes, it may only be enough to reach further into the pool and grab one extra ship seed

that's what I meant by making it less than 15x, that could be the point where it pushes the chances around and takes another ship's seed

unless it could also create entirely new ships which would be horrifying

[obtuse creek]

what have we unleashed upon the simulation?

current system, 8 reloads. 7 were purple, 1 was blue, so the spawn percent appears to be lopsided somehow

[final hazel]

that may make sense

though I got the incorrect one much more often than the correct one

[obtuse creek]

kinda like the percent bar maxed out and bled.over, which matches your breakpoint.theory

[final hazel]

and now I am not getting any after my most recent change

what if I reduce the other ship's chances to the integer values of how many ships normally generate

Like instead of 50/301ths of the pool, fighters now take up 3/21th like observed in-game

this seems to work fine!

intended ship

[obtuse creek]

hmmm might work. im not smart enough for that but i know when editing certain shit the number have to match in a way

what you take you must replace

woot! progress

[final hazel]

I think that this version that I have just made will be the one I use

or I may divide 301 into 21 pieces and divide them among the ships too

[obtuse creek]

an equal chance of spawn would be kinda cool

[final hazel]

That would lead to ships that don't normally exist again :<

[obtuse creek]

sorry, wishful thinking

15 reloads, all purple, only got blue once

why 21 specifically?

[final hazel]

That is how many different ship seeds that are generated per star system, not including sentinel and living ships

[obtuse creek]

ah, that makes sense now

dont fully understand why its making.new ships though, i assume its because lower deletes a seed and raising the percentages adds a seed

[final hazel]

Kinda, this version seems to be working perfectly

I need to test it more, just to brute force any non-existant ships

[obtuse creek]

fair enough

[final hazel]

I believe the first version also shifted other ships around, so a fighter might get a seed that's normally for a hauler etc

Yeah, this one works perfectly

Though the highest chance I can make is 1/21

without replacing existing ships

[obtuse creek]

further question, how would it work to add living/sentinel ships? find the break.points for each type, reduce to delete a seed from lets say hauler, that frees up a seed that the living/sentinel ship would generate?

all good, i understand that there are limits and thats way better than it was

[final hazel]

I could probably do that, though it may go in a predestined order too

so genuinely no idea

[obtuse creek]

predestined order?

[final hazel]

Like I can't specifically replace any specific ship types with others I think, it may shift everything around

I can try though

I could also replace exotic ships with sentinel ships

[obtuse creek]

not pressing, more of a curisoity. I figure it like this, there are other travellers, so why wouldnt there be living ship/sentinel ships out in the wild being used

[final hazel]

That is true, I've always wanted to make roaming sentinel ships with autophage pilots, and the pilots are only revealed when scanned like normal

[obtuse creek]

and if it were to work, would those seeds be replicated if someone was using the mod, IE, could i give you coords and you could pick up the same ship?

[final hazel]

so to a player who hasn't completed TWR it'd look like a sentinel ship just patrolling/stopping by

[final hazel]

This would not be the case unfortunately, I do not think there is a way to make NPC ships use seeds that they don't normally use

[obtuse creek]

the face on a new player getting attacked by a sentinel pirate would be hilarious

wouldnt it happen naturally? once a system is found/scanned, the seeds get locked in dont they?

[final hazel]

ooooooo

maybe this is involved

[obtuse creek]

actually, whats the coords for that yellow ship? i want to see if i get the same spawn?

[obtuse creek]

omw

once i find a portal

cache count....so.only 20 at one time?

[final hazel]

that may be the amount of ships each system can have, but that's 1 less than there actually is

maybe it starts counting at 0?

[obtuse creek]

considering the storage containers, that tracks

[final hazel]

I will test this next

I'll set it to 0 >:3

beginning count from 0 makes sense though as 0 ships makes no sense

There's also this, which it isn't clear what this means

oh, maybe it's for economy levels??

[obtuse creek]

0 for abandoned?

[final hazel]

0 works

waitwhat

0 is making new ships

this is normally a hauler!

despite it being set to 0, I am seeing 2 different ships

[obtuse creek]

if 0 indicates an unihabited star system, wouldnt all the seeds be randomly.generated?

[final hazel]

well these are not random

they seem to be all the same ship, besides that exotic

nevermind

[obtuse creek]

oh the preexisting seed changed to exotic

[final hazel]

there's more

[obtuse creek]

i understand now

[final hazel]

this is weird

[final hazel]

yes, the seed was assigned to an exotic instead of a hauler, and both of them use the same name generation

[obtuse creek]

so changing the number to zero somehow is duplicating/overwriting seeds

[final hazel]

somehow

though most ships were this one hauler that definitely exists normally

which is what made me think it was only spawning one ship

okay, increasing it seems to make new new new ships that aren't replacing existing ones

new seeds

I could make this into it's own mod, just "more ship variety"

some1 prolly already thought of that though

[obtuse creek]

the one you.linked

does roughly the same

[final hazel]

yeah, it increases the cache to 40

I increased it to 100

[obtuse creek]

says on the mod page is modifies the seeds

i think we are both in the mind to avoid creating new seeds and just changing the spawn chance?

[final hazel]

Yes, that is true

This doesn't seem to be as interesting as I thought it would be unfortunately, many repeating ships are spawning

[obtuse creek]

me personally would like to see it do that and add new seeds for sentinels/living per system, tied to the mod, but im not sure that can be accomplished

[final hazel]

that may be possible, I will try

[obtuse creek]

well, what if we crank it to 11?

have a version that stays roughly vanilla and another version that just cranks out random seeds?

if the max number is 301 ships, but only 21 seeds

[final hazel]

Yes, that's what I was thinking

[final hazel]

Maybe, idk!

[obtuse creek]

what if we double it to 602 and 42m

wouldnt that mass create random.ships?

[final hazel]

Going to add 3 sentinel ships and 2 living ships, and add 5 more ships and see if that breaks things

[obtuse creek]

if it works, take note.of a few of the ships, ill load the new mod and see if i get the same stuff, we just need to be in the same system, probably need to test it on a discovered system and undiscovered

[final hazel]

I was hoping making it 100 would make all ships nearly fully random, but they were repeating

though that may be a limit of the RNG and loading the same save

[obtuse creek]

thats why im thinking a new system

nothing to overwrite/pre exist

[final hazel]

woah, it might be working...

I gotta keep track of all of these ships to make sure none of the regular ones are overwritten

[obtuse creek]

oh good point, didn't consider that

am i in the wrong galaxy?

[final hazel]

You are in the correct star system

[final hazel]

Do you have the latest version? #nms-modding message

(and of course delete the previous one)

[obtuse creek]

yeah, and i deleted the previous abd mod setting file

let me reinstall to.make sure

[final hazel]

that is strange

[obtuse creek]

oh wait i have color mods installed

that might be why

that the right ship?

[final hazel]

The seed seems correct

idk why the stats are different but sometimes it's just like that I guess

[obtuse creek]

stats are different though

reloading with only your mod

[final hazel]

these are all ships that should generate, plus 3 more shuttles I've yet to write down the names of

[obtuse creek]

loading in now

im getting the same.names as you

[final hazel]

I'm doing this with the 5 extra ships too, I've only seen one living ship land

but all other ships seem to be working normally

[obtuse creek]

new one

[final hazel]

yes, that is one of the shuttles I hadn't wrote down yet

[obtuse creek]

meaning not on the list

cool

[final hazel]

YOU AREN'T REAL
YOU DON'T EXIST!

[final hazel]

wait i just realized i wrote down 8 haulers... there's supposed to be 7

I think... sentinel ships can't take up part of the spawning

because I've yet to see one

so there's 9 haulers

[obtuse creek]

its possible, but if living works, should be a way for sentinel

[final hazel]

I'll try to set all to 0 and make sentinels be the whole pie

[obtuse creek]

ok the exotic

same ship, different stats

is that normal, vanilla stuff?

[final hazel]

maybe stats are just random

[final hazel]

the stats were for the crash site one though

[obtuse creek]

thats the new one

crash site?

[final hazel]

but yeah, maybe they just have variance

[obtuse creek]

ill go check that out

[final hazel]

it's all haulers

exclusively haulers

probably because they're first in the list

[obtuse creek]

hmmm so something else needs to be changed to get sentinels ir they just arent coded like that

[final hazel]

They are most likely just not built to work like that

dang, even a rare one

[obtuse creek]

what planet is this exotic on?

[final hazel]

planet 2, Barbarosa

[obtuse creek]

the round.ones are rare?

[final hazel]

the shielded ones are rare

[obtuse creek]

shielded?

[final hazel]

yes, ball haulers with the shields

[obtuse creek]

got ya

how do i map the coords? never done it before

[final hazel]

There should be a visible communications station at the coordinates, but if that can'e be seen then you can use your ship's first person lat/long reading

also... setting corvettes to spawn seems to do SOMETHING rather than the game ignoring them and spawning haulers instead

[obtuse creek]

found it

[final hazel]

"something" as in spawning nothing

or spawning them and they break in some way

and are invisible because they are corvettes without parts

[obtuse creek]

thats....oddly terrifying

ok

so

crash site ships retain stat lines

exotics that spawn have diffrent stats and gear, which makes sense since its same seed, but a new/different ship

i havent seen any new ships and have seen almost all the ones on the list

the exotic is spawning at a reasonable rate and havent seen.more than 1 at a time

this is for the second version you posted

[final hazel]

Yes, that makes sense

[obtuse creek]

what can i test next?

[final hazel]

Note that these changes will jumble up crash site spawn chances, making some crash sites have different ship types at them possibly

Idk, I did just make a new variant that replaces the missing sentinel ships with solar ships and it seems to work fine

I haven't seen any normally nonexistant ships

Other than those added

[obtuse creek]

ok thats definite progress

why does it jumblle crash sites

and is there a way to avoid that?

[final hazel]

I believe this is impossible

It doesn't jumble, just makes more of them different

Based on the new chances

Probably

[obtuse creek]

ok, but would those crash sites be tradeable?

IE, i find a ship, get coords, and you can get the same ship?

is this normal?

dead system with a race and economy?

[final hazel]

No, as the ship present may be different due to the altered chances of the mod

there will be a ship there, and it may be the same exact ship, but it could also not be

[final hazel]

That's just the name of the star system

someone named it Dead System because it was boring

[obtuse creek]

ah got ya

[final hazel]

I wonder what multiplayer would do with these mods, but I have an xbox next to me to test that

[obtuse creek]

im on PC multi

the plot thickens

shows korax, but dead space station?

[final hazel]

oh wiat nvm that is just a regular abandoned system

[final hazel]

abandoned systems do have a race present

[obtuse creek]

ah now i get it, sorry was confused

[final hazel]

multiplayer people can absolutely see and buy the normally impossible ships

which is super weird

[obtuse creek]

so the same new ships are available on muliplayer?

[final hazel]

kinda, they sync up in a strange way

[obtuse creek]

this that rare one you talked about?

[final hazel]

no, it's cargo things are not shielded

[obtuse creek]

ooooo the blue stuff is shielding

[obtuse creek]

nope.i was wrong i understand.now lmao

anything you want me to test? @final hazel

[tame relic]

can someone help diagnose why a few mods arent working

i was going through which mods were conflicting and fixed the issue

but now i have mods that add salvage terminals for multitool and starship in my freighter hangar and a mod that changes the layout of the bridge of the freighter on my modlist but both arent working

they were working previously before i narrowed down which mods were conflicting

[obtuse creek]

delete the mod config file, load.it again?

[tame relic]

will deleting that fuck anything up

[obtuse creek]

hasnt messed anything up for me, i do it everytime i add or remove mods

[tame relic]

didnt work

[obtuse creek]

i had some color.mods that werent loading, so i removed the extras. might be a case of picking.one or the other?

[tame relic]

its the astro and bab bridge mod and freighter salvage terminals mod not working but theyre in the mods folder

[obtuse creek]

i dont have either of those

[tame relic]

i had some mods that change space colour conflicting i deleted them and chose one over the other now these freighter mods arent working rip

[obtuse creek]

i use zBest Freighter

[tame relic]

does it add salvage terminals

[obtuse creek]

i think so, for ships

[tame relic]

the legend himself is responding?

[solid hawk]

It's a matter of mods with conflicting MBIN files. If Mod A and B both make changes to BLAH.SCENE.MBIN, only the last loaded will work. If the specific case of conflicting MBIN files, then to use both would need to combine the mods using Lua scripts and AMUMSS.

[tame relic]

can i post a picture of my modlist and maybe you will know whats conflicting?

i aint got a clue

[solid hawk]

I think the salvage terminal one makes changes to HANGAR.SCENE.MBIN, but so does the bridge mod.

[tame relic]

they were both working before

thats my modlist

[solid hawk]

I'm not going to know full details of every mod out there. I know mine and other peoples that I play with. There's no master database of files every mod makes changes to. If you get AMUMSS, has a tool to tell you conflicts.

[tame relic]

where can i find awumss im not familiar with what that is just started modding yesterday

[solid hawk]

That build on freighterbridge one, 1) will conflict 2)actually will do nothing as that functionality is already built into astros bridge

3. The guy who "made" it is actually a thief. Stole the mod from Lyravega, without asking. I know because I do have Lyras permission to use in Astros bridge.

[tame relic]

i removed the build on bridge and salvage terminal and i cant get the astro bridge to work

i really liked that mod lol looked so much doper

[solid hawk]

Could be something else conflicting which I don't know.

As far as AMUMSS, https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2626

This has link to install info and a walkthrough of "install" and basic usage.

[tame relic]

i dont see where it says how to check for conflicting mods

doing a fresh download worked

i appreciate the help though

[obtuse creek]

sorry, gad to go afk for a bit

on mod pages, at the bottom sometimes it says which mbin it affects

so that can help ID conflicts

[tame relic]

is there a way to combine the two freighter mods? i just put astros bridge back in and the salvage terminals is gone again although they modify different mbin files

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2601?tab=description

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3680

they modify different files

adding a _to the beginning of salvage mod put it to the top of my mods and that fixed it?

damn now its crashing lol

[tame relic]

do pak files work on this current update

[cobalt condor]

nope

[formal sparrow]

I'm looking to automate exploration logging. Like systems, system properties, planets and properties and even POI's, MT's, Ships, etc.
Is it doable? Has it been done? I'd have to hook the exe I'd guess.

[solid hawk]

WB Gaticus. Been a very long time. Yep, have to hook. MonkeyMan put together an API of sorts, which might be able to help. Over on the Modding Discord, see the nmspy channel.

[heady stag]

Has anyone tried using DLSS swapper to change to FSR 4.0?

[final sleet]

is the way mods work rn broken?

[final hazel]

no, it works completely to my knowledge

See #nms-modding message for troubleshooting assistance

[obtuse creek]

older mods are broken, anything before january? i forget the exact timeline

[final sleet]

apparently i just diddnt follow it well, thanks

[obtuse creek]

hey Grouch, which mbin.does the mod touch?

[final hazel]

What mod?

[obtuse creek]

the one you worked on last night

[final hazel]

gcsolargenerationglobals.global.MBIN

[obtuse creek]

one of the mods i use makes it not work, gotta search it out

thanks!

[digital blade]

anyone know of an up to date save file editor?

[obtuse creek]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1566

pretty sure thats the most up to date one

does the AMUMS thing show what mods affect what files?

[silk prairie]

Guys I’ve been trying to give myself the Starborn Phoenix using goatfungus save editor. I checked the box without having selected a save and another time with selecting the save, booted in game offline both times and still didn’t get it. Anyone know how to deal with this?

[severe trout]

Hey y'all bit of an odd request/suggestion but can one of y'all modders make a nautilon be recognized as a starship as well? And trade it with me? I'm messing around in one and I really wanna just take off to space from the water lol I'm on console so can only imagine myself

[obtuse creek]

@silk prairie gotta buy it with quicksilver

from the vendor, create items with quicksilver

[silk prairie]

But it ain’t even giving me that option

It’s just not appearing at all

So I select it in the save editor

I jump into the game

And it still shows it as locked

[obtuse creek]

try using NomNoms

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1566?tab=files

Edit account, filter Collect Expedition Rewards, check off the phoenix, save, exit game, reload

[silk prairie]

Can I run it on Mac?

That’s where I’m running goatfungus

I only needed to download Java

Alright I searched it up, should run using wine

[burnt shuttle]

goatfungus save editor should work anyway. I used it just now to give myself one of the ship

[obtuse creek]

i had issues on PC with those 3 items on Goat

not sure why, could of been operator error

but nomnom worked for me

[silk prairie]

But how?

I selected the thing I wanted

That golden starborn phoenix ship

I jumped into the game whilst I was offline

Still nothing

[burnt shuttle]

did you go back to main tab after checkmark it

there's a popup to save account data

[silk prairie]

Yeah

Still negative

[fresh arch]

If the account data change is not working for you, try to import the ship into your collection

[burnt shuttle]

i'm also on v 1.19 of the save editor

[fresh arch]

See the pinned messages for exported sh0 ship file

[silk prairie]

I have the file, just trying to figure it out anyway

Should work

Isn’t

Weird it is

[silk prairie]

Yep same

[burnt shuttle]

maybe will have more luck with nomnom then, or importing the ship

[silk prairie]

Yeah gonna give it a shot

Hopefully it works

But if you add it using the app

As in the expedition rewards

Do they become account wide

[burnt shuttle]

yup

[silver condor]

is there a mod, that makes the animated crane and/or fishpond a buildable construct for bases?

[clear briar]

is there any mod that allows me to unlock main story stuff without having to do the main quests?

i want to unlock quartzite/purple stars and anything beyond without having to do the main quests

[forest herald]

is there a Mod that allows editing a ship to flip and item more horizontal or vertical

[round sinew]

@sweet trench see image: you'd need to download a save editor - both projects can be found at github, and releases downloaded from there too

[sweet trench]

Either one or is one pc and one apple

[round sinew]

either runs on windows afaik

nmsse should run on mac as it is java, but iirc it cant open mac files

[sweet trench]

how do i install the git hub

[round sinew]

you dont install github - if you want to download nmsse for example, you'd download this file (image) for example

then run it to unpack

nmsse needs java runtime to run

[sweet trench]

how do i unpack

i see

so i unpacked it waht now

@round sinew

im assuming i open teh pheonix thing now

[round sinew]

have you pointed the save editor to save folder path?

[sweet trench]

ya does it have to be a specific one

[round sinew]

well, the save folder your game is using, sure

[sweet trench]

so the nms one

[round sinew]

then you just select game slot, goto ship tab, click import, select the sh0 file, click ok - file, save, boot game

[sweet trench]

how do i open taht sorry idk how this stuff works

[round sinew]

can you stream? dm me

[sweet trench]

soz cant

[round sinew]

so, you dont have nmsse running on your screen yet?

what folder did you select when the self extractable archive asked you to?

[long robin]

Seems cracy

[round sinew]

make a folder in the C: drive called nmsse, then click the 3 dots there and point it to the folder you just made

then click extract

[sweet trench]

ah ok

its not opening anything

oh got it

@round sinew

[round sinew]

okay, so now that you have it running, i recommend making a backup of your save folder before doing anything else

[sweet trench]

ayy i got it!

are there any other cool ship you reccommend

[round sinew]

there's lots of cool ships around - at this point you could even unlock previous expedition ships like boundary herald or starborn runner for example

[sweet trench]

but idk waht files

[sweet trench]

Could you help me

[round sinew]

there's no need for files - phoenix is the only one that does, afaik

if you wanted to get the other ships, i'd just suggest using consumerism mod

[sweet trench]

is that just nexus

[sweet trench]

how do i upload to steam?

[obtuse creek]

Anyone ever had issues with mods crashing the game specifically on gravity distortion/storm planets?

Also, i clicked yes to disable mods, and cannot find the disable.txt to delete

[final hazel]

There is no "disable.txt"

There was a "DISABLEMODS.txt" in versions prior to Worlds Part II, but it is no longer looked for by the game. No Man's Sky\Binaries\SETTINGS\GCMODSETTINGS.MXML has replaced it fully

[round sinew]

upload to steam? you read the notes and download the mod from its nexusmods page, extract the mod to the right folder (see <#nms-modding message>), launch game, profit

[obtuse creek]

i was just about to ask if it changed

i read the pin, so must of grabbed an old pin

how does one re enable them?

[final hazel]

by deleting No Man's Sky\Binaries\SETTINGS\GCMODSETTINGS.MXML

and having the game regenerate it on startup

[obtuse creek]

oh...i probably should of that of that

[final hazel]

or by opening it and setting DisableAllMods to false

but deleting it is usually faster and better and fixes more issues by having the game order things or something

[obtuse creek]

now i just need to figure out what mod is crashing me during grav planets and which one is messing up sentinels

thanks again!

would your exotic mod possibly interact poorly with another mod and produce a crash when inspecting sentinels?

[final hazel]

no

[sweet trench]

Got it

I just got the mod laounchwr

But it doesn't really work and it took me to a save that was like 15 min ago

But it's fine not too crazy I saved and backed it up

[round sinew]

what doesnt work, sorry? the mod?

[sweet trench]

No the phoenix work very well

But like other onrs

Its fine

[obtuse creek]

thanks grouch, cool, must be some else I installed

[heady stag]

For all the mods out there, there is no mod that searches your discoveries for planet types etc

[final hazel]

Yes, mods do not have access to custom scripting or anything remotely similar to that

[round sinew]

the others would be via the consumerism mod - if mod is "installed" properly, then if you goto quicksilver shop, you should see the expedition rewards in the create quicksilver dialog option iirc

[rapid bronze]

Mod wish/suggestion: Mod to label the icons of trade-only items.

[sweet trench]

I think i added a bit too many god gn people

[obtuse creek]

So im experiencing some weird graphics crashes with the Dud's color mods, is it possible that using Vortex is the actual cause, before i reinstall all my mods manually?

[round sinew]

hmm, what kinds of graphics crashes? did you install the entire suite in the pack? can you repro with no mods on? if you can only repro with only jason's mods on, but not in vanilla, then it might be worth tracking down which one

[obtuse creek]

i installed all of the biome related color ones

i seem to get it on busy planets, especially gravitational

i havent finsihed testing yet

but im using the BMS Safe list, with the Dud mods

and a few others

i dont see anything that obviously conflicts

loading up with just DUD now to test that

[final hazel]

One thing I just randomly realized, is there a reason that this doesn't include Roboto Regular? (the font used for all UI things)

It's definitely not proprietary to NMS of course but it's like 3/4ths of all text

[solid hawk]

They're no longer packages like that, now all individual mods.

[round sinew]

oh yeah, you're right, i kinda referred to them as a pack because i'm used to using basically all of them (in duds colors)

[obtuse creek]

yeah i cant repro precisely. its gotta be a conflict within my mod list, the crashes are intermittent so its hard to pin down

i ran just DUDs and no issues

[solid hawk]

Or just a regular 'ol game bug

Can't go on the assumption that every crash is due to mods and there's no issues with the vanilla game. Nothing could be further from the truth.

[obtuse creek]

cant argue that, but when it isnt crashing, you add mods, and it starts crashing, its a safe bet i would think

so its at least worth investigating

Is there a mod to abandon a settlement? i keep getting blocked by the stupid build missions

[vale iron]

No reason, those are just the ones I saved to do some images, so I put them up 🙂 I'll try to remember to add that one

[solid hawk]

Don't need a mod. You can go to the settlement register via your quick menu and select "retire as overseer"

[obtuse creek]

its not.letting me because of the overseer build, then for the first settlement build decision, hoping after this first building is done i can ditch it

[solid hawk]

From what I'm reading, has something to do with A Trace of Metal mission not being completed. Once you finish this quest, can abandon the settlement.

[sweet trench]

How can I get the atlas staff thats from expedition rewards

Or the Atlanted one

[vale iron]

Consumerism mod or the Unlock mods by Babscoole

or save edit

or do the expedition reruns that I think are pinned here (pinned message on July 11th)

[sweet trench]

Ya i looked at google thx anyway

[forest herald]

is there a mod to get that annoying hit a button due to mods to go away

[final hazel]

Somewhat, there is a DLL file someone made that skips the mod warning https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3667?tab=posts

I've been using it without issue so far

[forest herald]

ty

[stuck holly]

any mod where i don't have to wait for the living ship stuff to mature?

[final hazel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1921

[silver condor]

or this?
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1797

[final hazel]

Also that, yes

[stuck holly]

thank you !

[silver condor]

anthing that will make a settlement have more buildable structure?

[queen vale]

Does anyone have any advice, I've followed all the steps to download and use mods (consumerism) and no matter what i try it wont work, i dont even get the splash warning screen when opening the game

[final hazel]

Did you place the mods an extra folder deep?

(like do the mod folders have a folder inside of them that also has the mod name)

We have a mod troubleshooting doc, though you've probably already seen that #nms-modding message

[queen vale]

i tried both dropping the unpacked folder into the mods file as well as following the pathway to the exml file, tried it as an exml as well as renaming it to .pak

also i have not seen that, im brand new to the discord

[final hazel]

Please see that doc, pak files dont work with the modern game

[queen vale]

i will check that out thank you

[final hazel]

You should just have to place the Consumerism folder inside of GAMEDATA/MODS

[queen vale]

is it an issue that my MODS folder is in PCBANKS?

[final hazel]

Yes, that is not where the mod folder has gone since WP2

[queen vale]

well shit

[final hazel]

Please read the "Modding after 5.50" doc #nms-modding message

[queen vale]

well i feel like an idiot after that, thank you for your help

[vale iron]

Don't feel like an idiot. It's just a problem with a lot of information about NMS goes bad pretty frequently. If you had read the document then told us it was in pcbanks still, then you'd be an idiot 😉

[opal furnace]

how do

i use mods

to add stuff to ship?

[final hazel]

can you elaborate?

[solid hawk]

How do
I post a
complete sentence on
one line?

🤪

[heady stag]

Are there mods to help with networking and desync? Ive found that when trying to do group activities, there is a LOT of desync. To the point where I cant even see some of their enemies/word or even experience the same weather as them.

[vale iron]

That is going to be someone's connection having latency or dropped packets, not anything strictly to do with the game.

[sweet trench]

is there a mod to stop corrvettes covering like half of my screen

[obtuse creek]

is there a way to disable the little pop up that comes after the game crashes, asking about disabling all mods?

[steel crypt]

No

[obtuse creek]

well crap.

[clear briar]

can someone tell me the name of a mod that allows you to gift relics in batches of five or something like that? i remember seeing it in nexusmods but i don't remember the name

[rapid bronze]

@clear briar Is it Keep Gifting that you are thinking of?

[clear briar]

YES IT IS

tysm, been looking for it for days

[forest herald]

hey that vortex, I just installed it, anyone know if there is a scan to see whats installed

[uneven yarrow]

Has anyone had any better luck with the mods for increasing the corvette complexity? I’ve tried two so far but I’m hitting crashes with both when I go above 100 parts. Damn shame too I have a wicked build involving a mix of freighter parts, base parts, and corvette parts

Already ran through the usual fixes for these mods like deleting the mod settings file and ensuring it’s installed to gamedata and what have you

[keen mica]

I only know this one
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3701

Do you have many other mods?

[uneven yarrow]

This is one of the two I’ve tried. The other one is the one that doubles the complexity limit. And while I have other mods I tested with all disabled but the base building mod necessary for part mixing, AMUMSS, and the complexity mod but the crashes still happened consistently

Also looking a little closer I think the crash happens at the 150 part mark. It seems to work below that but placing anything inside the ship goes over that number and crashes

[keen mica]

Sounds like you're doing the troubleshooting correctly, then.
Oh, just noticed what channel this is. See the channel description. Have you asked in #nms-questions for help?

[sleek vigil]

is there a way to go into the files and change the position of the 3rd person space camera? my corvette is very big and i'd like to be able to see all of it
i moved the FOV slider all the way back already

[keen mica]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3757

not sure if it's working this patch, though. Been building more than flying but I think my flights looked fine.

[tender gale]

hey

is the goat fungus save editor currently up to date?

[sweet trench]

I’ve been lookin for this thx

[sleek vigil]

could be a game changer, i'll try it tonight

[final hazel]

Yes, it works with the latest versions of the game

[tender gale]

okay thanks

[tranquil narwhal]

Anyone willing to help me figure out why the mods I have installed don't seem to work? When I installed first mod I went into files to delete disablemods file but it didn't exist.

[final hazel]

Deleting DISABLEMODS.txt has not been a modding step since before January 29th, 2025. Please read this doc to see info about installing mods on NMS versions after 5.50 #nms-modding message including the new mod folder directory

[formal sparrow]

Hey babs! Yes, been years.
Ok, I figured. I'll look into it, thx.

[haughty stratus]

small thing i did time ago so i like to share it: i use this mod and get rid of the offset for the side camera since is the only mod i found with a working unlocked full look around camera
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3758?tab=description
i just change the code and keep the OffsetX value="0.000000 value back to 0 instead of 6 on every single ship type
example >
<Data template="GcCameraGlobals"> <Property name="CorvetteFollowCam" value="GcCameraFollowSettings"> <Property name="OffsetX" value="0.000000" /> <Property name="LookStickLimitAngle" value="120.000000" />

it also disable the Strenght into the camera movment when looking around that can be tweaked to user desire

[silver condor]

@vale iron hey bud, gm. just curious if you could make a version of the vette pad that is maybe lower than current, by like half?

or is that a number i can alter myself? this is the directly overhead version

[jagged sundial]

Are there mods that make inventory management less of a chore?

And performance mods? I think Im having a memory leak

[solid hawk]

Traditional data file mods can't really do anything about inventory, as that info is stored in your game save and handled through the game .exe. For performance, there's a mod called No Grass, which can give a few extra FPS when on a planet.

Else there's the option of dialing down the graphics settings.

[hearty wasp]

memory leak is HG's business

we don't really have the ability to fix that

[steep totem]

yo chat can i mod a ps5 save? 😭

[hearty wasp]

as long as you also have the game on PC sure

[vale iron]

You could alter it but would need to recompile after. I'll be trying to add a feature this weekend and will try to remember to make a lower version

[silver condor]

sweet! thanks

[icy flume]

are there any mods to fix the VR? its quite shit

[atomic tulip]

Hey! Using save editor, the new expedition doesnt seem to be there?

[digital blade]

They're not up to date yet

It wouldn't be impossible to start and finish the expedition today

[solid hawk]

Search term VR for NMS mods on NexusMods. That's what there is. Be aware that NMS modding can only change values for existing properties. Can't add things which aren't in vanilla and can't make major changes to functionality. So, can make it a slightly better class or s**t, but no means to overhaul VR or how it works.

[cobalt condor]

^ also worth noting that the majority of differences between the normal and VR modes of the game are hardcoded and can't be changed

[atomic tulip]

Yeah only a few hours left.
Any chance it will be updated and we can add the expedition later? I honestly CBA to do all those steps again

[clear briar]

is there a mod that allows me to unlock stuff from the main quests without having to do them?

purple stars, portals, etc

[cobalt condor]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3065
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3330
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3274

The portal one also removes the mechanic of charging the portal but you can undo that change really easily by just deleting the models folder from inside the mod

[clear briar]

TYSM 🙏

[cold sequoia]

@cobalt condor hi your the same Author in SF modding discord right thats working on Mega projects?

[weary hollow]

how do i use nms save editor to find my save?

[icy flume]

thanks ill have a look. the vr mode as is is super fucky and hard to play sadly

[sweet trench]

Select which save you need

[weary hollow]

minor issue though, mine are corrupt.. so in the NMS file it says DefaultUser

save files still exist but are somewhere else

[sweet trench]

Idk

You have everyth8ng set up yes?

Like the nmsse

[cobalt condor]

No? Not sure what that is 😅

[cold sequoia]

Or really lol

@cobalt condor sorry I think am getting my wire mixed up there name is AniMouse

Lol

[solid hawk]

San Francisco Modding?

[cold sequoia]

No lmfao

@solid hawk satisfactory

[solid hawk]

ok

[cold sequoia]

But the modding discord

@solid hawk I think ive seen your name pop up also with a mod or 2 lol

Your famous

[vale iron]

He's about to make his third mod, actually

[solid hawk]

2.25

[obtuse creek]

Anyone know f the ghsip missing trails still works?

[solid hawk]

When was it last updated?

Any mod last updated prior to 29 January 2025 will NOT work.

[obtuse creek]

damn

[solid hawk]

Don't ever need to ask again now. You know the metric for probably working and zero chance of working. 🙂

[obtuse creek]

fair enough, guess i was just being hopeful

thanks!

[solid hawk]

Post on the mod page to give Gumsk a nice, polite poke to update it

He already knows it needs to be, but the more people who request a mod get fixed, the higher priority it gets.

[obtuse creek]

Not a bad idea, but Gumsk is probably busy updating some other stuff in his library, dont wish to be a bother outside of random questions

[solid hawk]

Earlier this year, HG made a LOT of TEXTURE changes. Time consuming to do and Gumsk has a lot of those type of mods. Reason why it's taking so long.

With IRL, only so much time in the day.

[obtuse creek]

yall do a great job, i use alot of yours, DUD and Gumsks mods

[solid hawk]

Thanks. I have a little time coming up this weekend, due to a holiday. I'll see if I can help Gumsk out and do the fixes for this one.

[obtuse creek]

no worries, just appreciate your work and time, makes the game better to play

[coarse rune]

Is there a mod to auto summon pets? Like the reconstructed drone

[solid hawk]

nope

[coarse rune]

Oof. I have so many cool pets but never get to see them cause they go away whenever you enter a vehicle

[vale iron]

@obtuse creek It's on my list to update when I can

[obtuse creek]

i figured, wont try to rush the process. i forgot it existed, used to use it all the time, one of my favorites. been.using.an exotic, then remembered i had portal coords from my previous play through for an amazing looking sentinel, then saw the single trail and was like, thats not right.

someone reminded me about the mod and figured id ask

appreciate the work! @vale iron

been using your list as a base for my modlist, been workin out great

[rugged heart]

using colossal ships and part limit remover, is there a fix or a mod to get rid of this?

[dense dove]

ok, my corvette in permadeath go from tier A to tier S without permission, so i only have 3 supercharge spaces and a tech row in blank, so i need a way to get me the S tier i deserve, funny i call it altas, and i get a atlas fake S tier ship, like fake god, any ways need help

some way to modify the files or some

?

[solid hawk]

Save-editing

Either goatfungus or nomnom will allow setting the class and increasing supercharged slots.

[placid mural]

is there any up-to-date mod for icons and labels in VR? Those are huge and stuck on my face...

[solid hawk]

Probably not

[silk hollow]

Is it possible to edit my corvette trough the save edit, moving all parts 1 or 2 blocks forward?

[solid hawk]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/984

There's also a standalone version

[silk hollow]

Only this way... Okay, ty.

[solid hawk]

If you can figure out the coordinate system, on your own, feel free to do it the HARD way via raw json editing.

[silk hollow]

prob will be easier to rebuild corvette once more xD

[hearty wasp]

yes

prolly

[raven magnet]

i need help how to use consumerism mods?

[vale iron]

Install, go to Quicksilver vendor...done

[tropic shadow]

Is there something out there to be able to build from a further distance away? Trying to add custom parts on the exterior like boxes etc but I cant near the back of the ship

[dense dove]

im new so i dont understand how, is some way in specific o i need a program to do it?

[raven magnet]

how to install? i mean where to put it

this is the consumerism mods

[hearty wasp]

read #nms-modding message troubleshooting section

[solid hawk]

Depends which you choose to use, but similar to each other and intuitive. Open program. Choose your save. With Goatfungus, choose the ships tab. Set the class. Right click on any inventory slot and choose Supercharged. Go back to the main tab and click Save Changes

Just click around the interface a bit and get familiar.

[raven magnet]

Check the files in the mod folder to make sure their extensions are .MBIN or .EXML. .MXML files will not work (other than LocTable.MXML). .PAK files likely will not work.
how do i change mine was EXML?

[hearty wasp]

read the right thing

also the line you quoted explicitly says EXML is ok

[raven magnet]

yeah but still not working idk why, sorry im new to this mod thing

[ionic wind]

Could someone please give me the lines of code for UnlockedSeasonRewards on the Breach expedition?

[true slate]

Tried to start NMS today and it seems there was an update. I got a mod warning because of incompatibilities, but no details. Is there any way to track down which mod may be responsible? Or could it just be a string check for the versions of the mods?

[hearty wasp]

you remove each mod and see if the game still crash

it can also just be the game crashing on its own

any crash message only indicates mods are installed at the time of the crash

[true slate]

ok. but there isn't any logfile to traceback?

[hearty wasp]

no

[fast tinsel]

So I modded the expedition rewards for seasons 1-18; apparently season 2 is getting a rerun; should I un-mod the season 2 rewards or does it not matter at all

[silver condor]

i dont think it matters. i had consumerism installed with latest expo rewards and when i did the expo, i still got the rewards like normal.

[dense dove]

ok thanks

[remote wren]

Is there a mod that eliminates the complexity limit of the corvettes?

[solid hawk]

I believe there is one on NexusMods

[daring niche]

I'm hoping this does not count as advertising. I don't know how many people in this server are into using the custom bases mod to make custom corvettes and bases.

I started using it recently and thought it was a pretty non-intuitive process to find the corvette data within the json, move that to the base editor, back to the decompressed save data json, then re-compress it into a .hg file. For the past few days I've worked on making a tool to make this easier so it lowers the barrier of entry to corvette and base modding. I've got it to the point where it can detect .hg saves on default location on windows, read metadata to get save slot and such, decompress the .hg file to a json, deobfuscate the json keys, locate the playerbase and corvette data within that json, save that to its own file so you can load it into djmonkeyuk's base editor, inject the edited ship/base back into the save json, and recompress the json back into a .hg file so you can load it up in nms.

is this something that would be useful? is this even the right channel for this? I can upload to github if it would help you guys out once I polish it up a little

[marsh eagle]

We have several tools like that already tgat can handle base and cirvette data with ui. How have you miseed all of them ?

But of course update to github. More code the better for the community

[daring niche]

Didn't see them on github when I searched. I wasn't light on my searches either. Weird

[daring niche]

For sure.

Could you send the the githubs for those?

[marsh eagle]

We have nms companion and backup tool on nexusmods, nms model io tool, and some others

[daring niche]

Neat. I'll check those out. That might have been my issue. I only searched github

[marsh eagle]

Not all if them are on github

[daring niche]

Got it. Hopefully I can help out with some open source code.

[proven loom]

which mods is it that allows me to resize anything

i saw a guy enlarge a holographic door

[proven loom]

nvrmnd i got it

[high epoch]

is there a mod that automatically skips or removes those blocking dialogues requireing you to hold tab / select (or - or whatever on controller)?

[final hazel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1628

makes them last for about as long as they normally take to skip, so pretty much makes them auto skip

[high epoch]

thanks, i looked for "skip" and didnt find this. is there one / does this also skip the expedition dialogues?

[final hazel]

It may, but not sure

[high epoch]

aight guess ill just try

[high epoch]

there is a remove version too, it does remove the landing dialogue, but not the expedition dialogues.

[sour dove]

I really enjoy playing nms on pc in vr but don't enjoy having to use quest 3 controllers. Would rather have the vr visuals but use xbox controller. I've tried putting q3 controllers down and using xbox controller but game is fighting with me and I'm getting frustrated. Is there a setting or a mod I should be using?

[daring niche]

what are the mf_savex.hg files? I know the savex.hg are the normal save files.

[cobalt condor]

There's no mod to help with that, but it should work out of the box. Make sure the controller is connected before the game launches, and that the NMS window is in focus. It might help to have your Quest controllers disconnected when the game starts as well, if your setup allows for that.

[silver condor]

@solid hawk hi, can i use "qs daily mission reward" and "qs missions and daily rewards multiplier" together, or will multipliers cover all?

[solid hawk]

This covers both:

Use only ONE of the variants in the zip. 🙂

[silver condor]

thanks!

[solid hawk]

Thank you too

[snow breach]

Since breach it doesnt seem to be working for some people but i have no idea why. Was my first try at making a mod and its still working on my end so I'm not sure really why it isnt for others

Anyone with more mod knowledge know what might be causing that to he the case?

(So i can update it) im assuming its something simple but yeah idk what

[quaint raptor]

I messed up with a save editor somehow trying to unlock all the expedition/twitch rewards and so I have a bunch of both that I can't actually add to my account, they're just sitting waiting to be claimed any ideas?

[final hazel]

I do not know, they should always be claimable unless their blueprints are already known on that save or they have already been claimed

It may be significantly easier to use Consumerism and Communism
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2062
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3420

[quaint raptor]

thanks 🙂

[quaint raptor]

yes it was significantly easier, not sure what I'm gonna do about all the ships I have left to claim but thanks again 🙂 I'm gonna head to bed have a good one

[vale iron]

To be honest, I think this mod and the complexity limit mod are creating too much trouble for non-mod users and shouldn't be published for that reason.

[gaunt elm]

There's a mod on Nexus which replaces the PDA voice with Subnautica (OG) one and it immediately makes me think: is there one with Portal 2 GLaDOS?

[hearty wasp]

If you can't find it on Nexus the answer is no

[halcyon notch]

Just means you can be the proud author if yk how to mod

[hearty wasp]

Indeed

[silver condor]

does beyond base building or eucli-ea affect base power or powered doors in anyway? powered doors are closed by default now when placing, and no wiring configs will work to open them...

[vale iron]

Did you turn on wireless power in the game options?

You can use gbase automatic proximity doors if you want

[snow breach]

I mean you can also just spam decor if you want to be malicious, and the blender plugin does the same thing but better. I do see why people would have an issue with it but its very easy to do the same result without.

[rotund cosmos]

honestly you may be right about this. with all the crashes and griefing and general confusion, they may be causing a bit more trouble than they're worth. still, i like that people have the option to use them, so... really i'd like to hope that HG could find a way to remove or at least reduce the impact. say, corvettes with more than 100 parts no longer display in the anomaly, so you can't bring a life-sized death star in there and crash everyone in your lobby.

or maybe the game setting for "base complexity" could apply (more aggressively) to corvettes, so that players with already low settings wouldn't be affected and players on high or ultra could still see them

[silver condor]

no, that would not effect the doors being closed when unpowered i believe.

[silver condor]

its not the state of the doors, but the fact that they are not working at all. they automatically close when i place them, and no wiring configuration will make them open

[cold sequoia]

Can someone help me please what exactly would be causing this crashing ?

[final hazel]

It would be significantly quicker for you to test yourself by removing a portion of your mods and testing to see if it crashes or not

and if you have any MBIN mods, update/rebuild them

RecTUM uses an MBIN file that is probably updated frequently

[cold sequoia]

But they already upto date

Ive deleted all 3 mods that contain Mbin

Which is Rectum Milf and Sacs

[final hazel]

Then it is probably one of your other mods, or they are causing it

[cold sequoia]

Am about to load up and ill see hiw i get on

[haughty snow]

Is there anyone who would be able to help me get the atlas corvette parts, I missed the expedition 😔
