That’d be great dawg! Lmk when you’d be able to

[minor tapir]

i looked in the pinned and saw that you can put the starborn pheonix into your game but i dont understand how, if someone could explain it to me/help me with it i would be very thankful

[weary phoenix]

Hello everyone
I'm looking for a mod that expands the amount of supercharged slots (specially on the multi tool) but not on the whole thing, because then it just gets too OP, does anyone knows if we have something like this, or how hard it is to start modding NMS

[obtuse creek]

Might be better off using save editor and just adding the SC slots

And same for the phoenix, pretty sure NomNom or goatfungus editor can add the phoenix

[final hazel]

If on PC, just use https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2062 (and https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3420 if you want it for free)

[vale iron]

Doors work by closing when they have power. If they are getting power from somewhere, there is nothing you can do to un-power them, so nothing you can do to open them. In the past, there have been issues with the wireless free base power causing issues like this. If you didn't turn that on, then something else is giving your doors power.

[vale iron]

Or Babscoole has a Phoenix unlocker, I think.

[vale iron]

For this, you can either edit the existing mods to remove some of the slots, or use a save editor to mark slots as supercharged. Some items only work with save editing (I think ships and multitools)

[silver condor]

it even happens in a new base that only has the door and nothing else. i do not have free power on. idk whats happening.

[vale iron]

Yeah if free power is off, someone else is providing power. I don't think either of those mods do that, but I'll look at BBB in a little bit

Or just try disabling BBB and see if it still happens

[glossy rapids]

Has anyone moved a savegame from a steam account to another steam account?

I've heard that because the UIDs are different if the save has uploaded content like settlements or bases those will not be transferred which makes sense, but in this case the source save has nothing uploaded so could I just copy the save to my Steam account, change the UID to match my Steam account saves and then upload the settlement/base data?

The NomNom editor seems to be able to do that, I was just wondering what are the chances that I mess something up and lose my base/settlement.

[vale iron]

It's the same people in all three servers with modding channels 😄

[final hazel]

Uploads don't really matter, all will transfer regardless but it's a good idea to make a backup, delete all bases on account 1 then convert that backup to using the correct IDs, but I've not corrected IDs and it's been fine so I think it might not matter

[glossy rapids]

NomNom seems to allow to select if it transfers the bases or not, might just deselect it to get rid of it

Weird thing is that it shows one base, two freighters and no settlements

[vale iron]

Maybe he didn't update the code for settlements to use the new system yet

[ancient falcon]

is there a mod that allows the claiming of 2+ settlements on a single planet?

[vale iron]

Not that I know of. Not sure it's possible. Transcender might enable it

[fallen palm]

What is in your opinion the best terrain gen overhaul, for variety and keeping exploration interesting for someone with several hundred hours in vanilla? I'm dipping my toes into modding NMS

[austere rain]

is there mod for corvette build limit?

[sweet trench]

Kind of breaks the game though

[steel crypt]

Terra Firma 3
(My mod bias)
Read description page.

[steel crypt]

Breaks it for other people in multiplayer.

[sweet trench]

No like you can’t have all the weapons that you mounted

[steel crypt]

Right but also crashes other players.

[austere rain]

what if i just surprass the limit just a bit?

[steel crypt]

It will depend on the other players specs. I’m not sure.

[austere rain]

I see, alright then, maybe ill give it a try

[austere rain]

Anyway, what is the meaning of this?

I mean can you explain it a bit?

[sweet trench]

For example you mount a photo cannon and a rocket launcher depending on how you've place them they wont show up

And you cant add upgrades

[austere rain]

Thats pretty bad tbh

Wait, does that mean if i put my weapon before 100 build limit, the weapon is still usable and upgradeable?

[sweet trench]

Yes

[austere rain]

I see, ill give it a try, where i can get the mod? Is it Nexus mod?

[sweet trench]

Yea you will need to downl9ad vortex though

[austere rain]

What is that?

[sweet trench]

Nexus mod launcher

It will pop up on nexus

[cobalt condor]

You do not need to use vortex for NMS mods

and it's generally better if you don't

[austere rain]

So i just put it on my local file?

[vale iron]

You don't need vortex

But you can use it

[austere rain]

Okay thank you

Wait can the build limit surprass the range limit too?

[sweet trench]

I find vortex easier

[pastel brook]

hi, anyone have a link to a mod that increases the base range from 300u?

[fresh arch]

it's a vanilla mechanic, not sure if you need a mod for that

see the pinned messages in #nms-questions channel, should have details on how to expand base boundary

[pastel brook]

It's very tedious and doesn't go beyond 1000u, I'd imagined there was a mod for it

thanks anyway

[normal canopy]

just place a wall every 50u past 300

that's how i do it

[vale iron]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1369

[pastel brook]

many thanks sir

[pseudo yoke]

ive j got this mod but its not working. idk what else to do

[final hazel]

Can you take a screenshot inside of that folder?

[final hazel]

Ah, then that should be working completely. Try deleting No Man's Sky/Binaries/SETTINGS/GCMODSETTINGS.MXML

[pseudo yoke]

still nah, is there a way to make my render distance higher? things r loading infront of me and im ramming into em cause they arent rendering. maybe i j cant see the modded stuff cause im to far?

and im all maxed in graphics settings

[final hazel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1316

[pseudo yoke]

thank u

[final hazel]

There is also https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3385 but this could be less stable, it used to cause crashes for me at settlements

[silk hollow]

Blender plugin will allow me to place something outside of certain "sphere" that is not allowing me to place some visual stuff on the ship?

[final hazel]

Yes, it will

[silk hollow]

okay, gonna try then.

[final hazel]

The base building app can also do this https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2598

[silk hollow]

Cannot afford rebuilding the whole corvette to move it 2 block forward xD

[final hazel]

Ah, that's what I did too

[obtuse creek]

Morning, I.deleted a corvette using save editor and now my ships seeds are wrong. Example my Iron Vulture is now a standard green hauler. I've tried verifying integrity, importing one from a different save but no luck Is there a way to manually fix it?

I didnt back up my save, apologies

[final hazel]

That isn't the ship seed being wrong, that's the ship customization data being misaligned now due to ships moving positions without the game knowing

[obtuse creek]

That makes way more sense

[final hazel]

You may need to move your hauler back to the slot that it was in before, or maybe the game has already deleted the misaligned customization data

the save editors have not been updated to handle this data since it's in a different part of the save and just points towards the ship slot

same with corvette base data I believe

[obtuse creek]

Ah, that would.make sense why deleting the corvette messed it up

[heavy merlin]

The save editor may have made a backup itself

[final hazel]

Yes, I believe both save editors always back things up before making their changes

[obtuse creek]

...i have never seen this folder before lmao

I see it now, gonna try these

[heavy merlin]

It probably has a way to restore a backup itself too, without needing to copy files around

[obtuse creek]

That worked! Thank you both so much!

[obtuse creek]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3701 someone asked for this, just a reminder not to go crazy, it can and will crash other players

[weary needle]

What mods would you suggest to make a tie fighter? PArticularly the bulb

[cold sequoia]

To any Author how much will it cost to create me an uptodate infinite Item stack mod since the Author of the original one say he no longer sort of working on it and may this mid is causing me to crash because ive crashed again

And if its not this mod its between Bs 2 mods more frigate missions or easy repair for frigates those are the only 3 ive got installed

Am going to run a test now to see witch mod out of the 3 is causing me to crash

[obtuse creek]

How difficult is it to add snap points to an object?

[cold sequoia]

Ok so ive crashed again and thats only with Infinite item stack mod installed

[fresh arch]

If the original mod comes with a Lua script, you can try updating it yourself

See 2nd link for a guide

Otherwise try using any other stack mod, plenty of those on Nexus

Just make sure it was updated recently

[cold sequoia]

Is there more than one i did nit know lol

[silver condor]

@hearty wasp hi bud. quick question, how does Eucli-ea detect base boundry? if i go 3004u from the computer in one direction (base is extended using the floor method) i lose the eucli-ea stuff minus the outpost things. if i go the opposite direction from the comp, i get 480u away and all the eucli-ea stuff is there still.
difference- 304u away direction has only a few bits to extend the base, while the 480 is passed the settlement my base overlaps

[hearty wasp]

Eucli-ea doesn't do anything with base boundary

[silver condor]

do you have an idea why i lose access to most menu items on one side of the base vs the other?

[hearty wasp]

you're not in your base is all

that's a game thing

[silver condor]

why does it still think im in base at 480u away? isnt the limit 300?

[hearty wasp]

I don't know

you should ask HG

[final hazel]

Probably because you expanded your base that way

#bot-spam message

Base territory can be expanded to 1,000u from the origin in all directions

[silver condor]

i expanded it the other way too, i have stuff put down at 400u in the opposite direction, but the eucli-ea stuff goes away like its not extended at 304

[final hazel]

I don't know then, unless it's much farther than 400u away

[final hazel]

Know that the HUD distance reading is exclusively horizontal distance, while bases care about true point to point distance

[silver condor]

im looking at the marker

[final hazel]

#nms-modding message

Though in that case it may not be that at all, so I do not know

[silver condor]

im mean, its not a big deal. im just curious as to whats deciding where.

[final hazel]

As in the guide, saving and reloading at the computer can fix some things being wonky like some parts not radiating boundaries

[silver condor]

i cant upload if thats what you mean

[final hazel]

Note that only structural things radiate extended boundaries, like walls, floors, prefab stuff etc

[final hazel]

I never said anything relating to base uploading

[silver condor]

yea i got floors down way past the 304 side

[silver condor]

does the computer just save?

[final hazel]

The base computer's position is always saved, just like all base objects

[silver condor]

i did a save and reload with a save point but it didnt seem to change anything

[final hazel]

You cannot directly use the base computer to save though, you will need some other object like a save point or a starship

[silver condor]

oh gotcha

[silver condor]

so i should save next to the computer?

[final hazel]

Somewhat close to it, yeah

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3505

[silver condor]

it was the UnlimitedBaseBuilding version of Ultrabase causing the weird power issue. its like its giving free power but all the parts dont work. now the switches and lights work without it and the door opens, but doesnt close when i directly power it for some reason

[jagged sundial]

Is there a mod that makes viewmodels smaller? This is horrendous

[final hazel]

There is, I cannot immediately find it though

[final hazel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3901 try this, though I don't know how it will look with a staff

[vale iron]

The only time I've seen the term "viewmodels" was for the 3d models in inventory. I think you just want increased FOV

[vale iron]

There are tons of stack mods. Mine is gstack and it's EXML, should work practically forever.

[obtuse creek]

How would one locate the name of a buildable item in the files if i wanted to try to add snap points to it?

[hearty wasp]

I assume the "name" you're referring to means the file name of the model that defines the snappoints

if so then that'd be the object placement scene file

you should be able to find the ID of the object in the Assistant for No Man's Sly app

and then you can trace that object ID in BASEBUILDINGOBJECTSTABLE to find the placement scene path

you should look at the decomped scene file before any discussion on how to modify it takes place because you won't understand anything anyone say on the matter before then

[obtuse creek]

Perfect! I will do just that. Thank you for the explanation and the understanding!

Ok, read it over, located the file path. Before I start breaking stuff, is it even possible to add snaps to a decoration?

I imagine the wording would be similiar to basebuilding object for floors, trying to add them to the Flat Panel item

[solid hawk]

Try and see. Won't break anything permanantly. If disasterous, remove the mod.

[obtuse creek]

Fair point

hmmm maybe i should use an item that scales size? That would likely match up better then floor piece that cant?

[solid hawk]

FYI, snaps don't scale, so scaling breaks snapping

[obtuse creek]

Ah that makes easier/makes sense

so adding snaps to the flat panel will only work as long as i dont scale it?

Or i cant add snaps because it scales?

[solid hawk]

Depends what you add. Slacing dynamically changes the size of an object, but snaps are static placement. Could, in theory, embed snaps deeper within an object or outside the bounds of the "normal" size object to take into account scaling.

There is a total limit to the number of snaps the game can use though.

[obtuse creek]

Ok, tracking. Dont think im that fancy yet, so simple snaps should work now for testing

[solid hawk]

Which is why nobody does snaps for scaling. Would quickly find yourself hitting said limit.

This is also why in Snappy Industry, I limit the scope of the mod and don't do decoration objects.

[obtuse creek]

Not sure i understand the limitation though. Do you mean like, total snaps existing actively in the game or hard cap on items with snaps available?

Yeah that mod is what triggered.me to try this. Only the flat panel though

[solid hawk]

Total snaps existing actively in the game

afk for awhile

[obtuse creek]

Kk, thanks again!

[vale iron]

Babscoole can correct me if I'm wrong, but you should know that snaps also require two parts, in and out for both parts you want to snap together

[obtuse creek]

Yeah saw that, was reading it and comparing to other entries. Im a bit unsure of what to do next. Gonna take a break and try again tomorrow

i know very little about actually programming so its gonna take a bit to decipher it

[vale iron]

Snap points are weird and a pain in the ass. Most people don't want to touch them. Not as bad as mission editing, but bad

[hearty wasp]

not if you use existing socket types

[obtuse creek]

Ngl, thats kinda my plan. Find an item.of similiar size with snap points, copy paste

[cold sequoia]

Really well the one i got is also exml and that still should not be causing me to crash when I do crash it still ask me if I want to disable mod and only that one is installed like ive lowered the graphics setting texture is on standard and all the rest is on Enhanced like every thing load up fine but its the random crashes I could be doing something one minute everything is fine then I may just randomly crash and also when ive done a nexus mission and I goo to return ill crash in random spots so tbh I dont know what's really the causing if its the game it self or my graphics setting still also need todo go to standard

[vale iron]

If it's random, it's probably not that mod causing it. The mod incompatibility message triggers anytime there is a crash while mods are installed. The game has no way of knowing if it was the mods causing the crash

@cold sequoia

[turbid badge]

Is there a working mod out there that removes frigates getting damaged on expeditions?
Has to be one of my least favorite mechanics even if removing it removes any "strategy" from the Freighter expeditions

[turbid vale]

Geometry cape and some other capes have this really weird line of pixels on them, that is bugging me out. I've never really created mod for any game, but is it hard to edit textures for nms? PS: just checked, I'm pretty sure that every single cape with transperency has this issue

[hearty wasp]

It's not the easiest

[turbid badge]

I know enough to know why it's there.
I don't know enough to fix it

[hearty wasp]

Yeah the issie affects all meshes with a transparent edge

And the solution involves editing mbins so it's not a straightforward job

[cold sequoia]

Hmmm so maybe its the game or settings

[vale iron]

Really? I figured it was just them not properly aligning their transparency layer. What would you need to do in the MBINs?

[hearty wasp]

it's from the UV mapping the edge wrapping over to the other side

I think FF or lMonk's made a fix for a ship flame before which is editing the texture to blank out the other edge

and when you touch the texture you touch the mat

[vale iron]

Ah that makes sense. Thanks

[trail slate]

hey guys I'm looking for a mod to put a landing pad on my corvette so my Ship can land on it.

Anyone knows anything?

I went to try G stack but I was not satisfied and I lost items numbers again it dont allow compared to what this mod allows https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3488

But this Author says they not got time to work on it at all or something

Can G Stack allow everything also and make it infinite

[hazy olive]

is there a mod that makes that screen which appears when you warp or teleport or portal into a different system less obtrusive?

[trim raft]

im not used to modding, is there any difference when manually adding mods to nms between windows and linux (specifically arch)

[solid hawk]

No such thing as infinite. The title on that mod is finite, just hyperbole.

Probably not

[snow breach]

Does anyone here use colossal corvettes & it isnt working for them after breach?

Trying to work out why it might not be for some people but I really have no idea

and it works fine for me so not sure what to try

[pearl fiber]

is there a mod that makes it so going through the galactic centre does not break your stuff? or makes mass repairs possible?

Im aware of the fact that you can use dummy ships and multitools but repairing all of my exosuit stuff (or even storing all of it and reinstalling it after) is just kind of a time-waster/hassle and id rather just remove that one particular facet

[cold sequoia]

@pearl fiber just installed infinite stack mod and use save Edit tool fill repair kits its the best advice I can give you lol

[pearl fiber]

It's not so much that I dont have the resources but way more that its just a ton of mindless clicking

Id just prefer if it wasnt a concern thats all

[cold sequoia]

When using NomNom it will to 9.999.999 repair kits

[pearl fiber]

but i think you can edit your save to instantly repair everything anyway, i was just hoping there was a mod to avoid it alltogether

[cold sequoia]

Then i think you mite be playing the wrong game for you lol

[pearl fiber]

No I like this game alot I just dont like clicking like 100 different things in my exosuit

its more or less the only time you have to spam click like that

[cold sequoia]

Tbh idk what else to tell you

@pearl fiber you could just pack your tech to inventory before going to another galaxy

[pearl fiber]

yeah i know

i know the vanilla tricks thats why i was hoping there was a modded solution

that didnt require me to open and close my game whe ni do it

it just kinda breaks the loop

you can also make it so crafting is free

[cold sequoia]

@pearl fiber the galaxy you want to go to ya can find at teleporter in the Anomaly at times so then nothing would break if you went that way

[pearl fiber]

but that doesnt really negate the fact that it breaks your stuff and forces you to click through all the menus

you can teleport to another galaxy from the anomaly?

[cold sequoia]

Yes

[pearl fiber]

what by warping to some players base?

[cold sequoia]

Yeah kind of

Or there Taxi service

[pearl fiber]

the nomansapp

[cold sequoia]

But best bet would be Anomaly teleporter

[cold sequoia]

No Taxi service they got a discord is where you can get people to take you to the galaxy you want to go to

This is the 2 options thats good enough for you then theres no repairs needed

[pearl fiber]

Ill take a look, was really just asking if a mod exists so that if i make the journey to a galactic centre and all that I dont have to go through the hassle of hiding my multitool and ship and uninstalling and reinstalling everything

[silver condor]

some of which actually built taxis😆

[cold sequoia]

No real Taxis only No mans sky ships lol

[silver condor]

i meant corvette taxis

[cold sequoia]

Ive not heard of a mod for this as of yet

[final hazel]

You could possibly disable technology damage in the difficulty options before going through

[cold sequoia]

Yeah that will do lol

[pearl fiber]

I play mostly on standard and I think my wife plays on more creative mode with tech disabled, and I think it damaged her stuff anyway. It jusr didnt "cost" anything for her to repair all her stuff because crafting is free for her.

[cold sequoia]

The corvettes that kidnap people and drop them off in a different galaxy unexpectedly lmfao

[pearl fiber]

She still had to click through every module same as me. But ill check her settings again

We went through at the same time and it broke both of our things but maybe she left that setting on

[vale iron]

@cold sequoia Just open the EXML and change the number values to whatever you want. As Babscoole said, there's no such thing as infinite, just bigger.

Anything bigger than what I provided I deem far more than any reasonable person should want and possibly leading to problems, particularly display or save

[cold sequoia]

I see ok

[cold sequoia]

Just blame Mod title i just go off of what its called lol

[drifting girder]

are there any player model mods?

[cobalt condor]

There's the one that gives you the Sean Murray head, and one that adds an additional autophage head option

other than those, no. Full player model replacements aren't possible

[hearty wasp]

it's possible

just so much of a pain in the ass that only like 1 to 2 people has done it

it is very limited of course due to that (we can't modify the exe so therefore can't add fully new features) but it's still a plug and play thing

[next mountain]

I should probably make a collection of these so I have to stop re-hunting them down

added one more at the top that I forgot but literally cannot live without

[frank pelican]

Question... is there anyway (Save editor, blender base builder, etc) to build bio domes on a freighter, hopefully "outside"...

[final hazel]

Yes, you can just use https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1096

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2598 and https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/984 would also work of course

[next mountain]

some of the links ain't workin'

idk why

[frank pelican]

Awesome.... Silent Running, here I come... 😉

[final hazel]

All of them work fully, you must have installed them wrong. Please read the troubleshooting part of http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

oh wait the links

[next mountain]

the links aren't working

ye

[final hazel]

the links work, not sure why they wouldn't for you

[solid hawk]

Not exactly. HelloGames provides the capability for limited modding to happen, but is officially unsupported by HelloGames in any way.

[vale iron]

If it helps, I've got about half of those in Better NMS. I'll probably add a few more as well. I do have EXML and MBIN split into two different collections, though, to make troubleshooting easier with updates

[solid hawk]

The devs do not make these decisions, management does. 🙂

[valid osprey]

IS there a mod that could give me EVERYTHING in customization?

[solid hawk]

Define everything

Way too open ended to be able to give an answer. Winning lottery numbers, no. 4 bazillion color options, no. etc.

More realistic, some of the existing options, like certain helmets, are 100% race based, so those become problemtic,

[rigid plaza]

this too hehe

[turbid badge]

Hello, Does anybody know whether either of the 2 pinned save editors allows for you to change the species of your Freighter Crew?
Like Gek to Korvax?

[solid hawk]

By changing the seed

[turbid badge]

Both or a specific one?

[solid hawk]

Actually there is a way without changing the seed, see https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/xdi2i4/changing_freighter_bridge_crew_npc_race_via_nms/

Raw JSON edit to change the SCENE used.

[cold sequoia]

[obtuse creek]

Thanks babs, was lookin for this earlier!

[exotic egret]

I have a question about save editing nms to go back to previous expeditions. Is it possible to do that if Im on Xbox PC? I’ve heard it’s only possible on steam but didn’t know if that was because steam is on a pc.

[cobalt condor]

Works for all pc versions, not just steam

[final hazel]

You may do so on all PC versions of the game https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/

[exotic egret]

Sweet, I appreciate it guys

[exotic egret]

okay so i downloaded NmsSaveEditor but when i try and choose a save path it shows nothing in the cache. any tips?

[final hazel]

That is because NMSSaveEditor is for editing save data, not the cache data

if you are attempting to replace the SEASON_DATA_CACHE.JSON then you can do so using any normal file browser/manager

the file is not hidden or compressed

[low spoke]

are there any mods to where the planet terrain loads in smoother when approaching a planet instead having like that weird look sometimes to where it loads in all choppy

[forest wharf]

Anyone knows if there's mod that allows building geobays in some form on freighter?

[final hazel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1096 you may need to build the mod using AMUMSS to enable that

[forest wharf]

I'd have to know how to program first, sadly.

[cobalt condor]

Do geobays in the freighter even work anymore? I thought I remembered them being patched

[final hazel]

Non-minotaur ones do, nautilon might not work either

Minotaur also doesn't work on the surface of waterworlds, but only when summoned via geobay

so it's definitely an actual bug that should be reported

!hg

[hardy aurora]

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

[final hazel]

Programming knowledge is not needed to download AMUMSS, place the BBB lua in modscript and open buildmod.bat

[forest wharf]

Ah

[bold knot]

does playin with mod made me cant play multiplayer?

[final hazel]

You may do everything you could without mods, with mods #nms-modding message

[bold knot]

i see thank you mate

[bold knot]

can i use vortex or manual?

[forest wharf]

Okay, this sounds like factorio levels of robustness.

[final hazel]

Either, but manual is recommended as it's just dragging and dropping folders. Alternatively, there is a NMS-specific mod manager being worked on that very much simplifies mod installation https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3852

[bold knot]

okay bro thank you

[solid hawk]

Mods may cause severe acne and gingivitis. If experiencing these symptoms from using mods, please seek immediate medical attention.

[narrow perch]

^ive installed several of Babscode's mods. very gud modder

in this channel mostly to discuss if its possible to mod a true qol for multiplayer chat/local/globals

ik thats probably not possible

but after having a lot of multiplayer experiences lately i think the game needs more qol to that side of it

also been running into an issue lately where player nameplates wont appear for me even when im pointed directly at them

not sure if its related to my "disabling autoaim" mod or not

[final hazel]

Define "qol", since there is no Quality of Life slider hidden in the game files

[narrow perch]

multiplayer chat tyical of most mmo

where you'd have a "local proximity" a "party only chat" and global setting

i do understand the problems that would pose for a proc gen game which may be why chat is so basic rn

[final hazel]

Oh, well there is already a group-only output you can select

[narrow perch]

is there?

[final hazel]

Yes, I believe it's similar to games like Overwatch

where you can just press tab or use /group or something

[vale iron]

Yeah, group and public. Try local and see what it does

[twin monolith]

I found a black market selling infra knife x upgrades but i can only buy one. Is there away to refresh the shop again to repeatedly buy them?

[final hazel]

You can save and reload to refresh the shop, I have made a mod (or at least repurposed an existing mod) to make them sell 100 at a time without changing which ones they sell

[twin monolith]

Oh wow

How do i use that mod bro thats amazing

Im on macbook btw

Will it work

[final hazel]

Oh...

The Mac version of No Man's Sky does not support mods I believe #nms-modding message

[obtuse creek]

Oh addin that one to my list for sure

Thanks Grouch

[twin monolith]

What if i use the refiner glitch

To have many

Will that work?

[final hazel]

Probably

I don't know how the refiner glitch works

[obtuse creek]

I would think save editor would be alot easier?

I think its Mac compatible

The java one, goatfungus?

[final hazel]

Ah yeah, save editors do work with Mac

At that point you could just edit the best seed onto each module https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kcEtrAdkSd-eeOp4rxOX8XUCHUSBPt5T_FVy2AbI8tY/edit?gid=0#gid=0

[obtuse creek]

The refiner glitch is a pain and more of a console thing

Didnt know you could edit the seed

And i already got mostly BIS already over the weekend. Good for future reference though

[twin monolith]

how do i use the mod pls

[final hazel]

Like I said before, mods do not work on the Mac release of No Man's Sky. If you're referring to the save editor, see https://github.com/goatfungus/nmssaveeditor

[twin monolith]

what is the save editor?

okok the save file editor i guess

[final hazel]

A program that can be used to modify aspects of save data, including item positions and amounts, unit/nanite/quicksilver balance, multi-tool/starship presence etc

[twin monolith]

oh wow fr

thank you thank you

u probably saved me a shit load of time. ❤️

very nice of u to find me a work around

[verbal flume]

Hi folks. Anyone knows if there's a way to make the ink stained and vigilant back pack trails to sound like a regular trail without that annoying splash sound?

Preferably a way that is compatible with multiplayer?

[hearty wasp]

depends on what you mean by compatible

playable, always

apply this effect to other players, no

[final hazel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3864

you could probably add the ink stained jetpack to this yourself, maybe I could actually

[twin monolith]

How do i use that sheet to find seeds to generate on the Save modifier

bit confused

sorry for so many questions

[verbal flume]

thanks!

[final hazel]

this should work, at least if the "spectral" jetpack isn't a different one

[twin monolith]

@final hazel how does this seed thing work. i see the google sheet but how do i find the seeds to paste to the save editor

[final hazel]

You can right-click on an installed upgrade module to see "item details" which will have it's seed after it's ID

[twin monolith]

if i choose supercharge all slots in the exosuit will that cause issues in game lol

[final hazel]

Probably, I do not know

doing things outside of the game's regular bounds always has a chance to cause issues

[verbal flume]

thank you, i appreciate your help

it was for one of our AGT members, so I passed the info on to them 😄

[undone flower]

i've done it, just makes your sprint and stuff hella good

at least thats it so far

[twin monolith]

Lol sounds alot of fun

[vale iron]

Yes, any refiner in a supercharge slot screws up the game.

[empty trail]

how does one import a json file into my companions so i have a new companion

(or overwrite an existing one?)

hmm theyre .egg files

im using https://creature.nmscd.com/#/builder btw

[final hazel]

Go to Edit > Edit Raw JSON > BaseContext > PlayerStateData > Pets > Select a slot and replace everything within one with the desired data

[empty trail]

gotcha, thanks!

bruh

nvm

i think i missed deleting smth

and (according to the service bot website, anyway) creature eggs from creatures with scales above the normal limit you gotta put 1 unit of smth in the neural calibrator before you do anything to them?

[final hazel]

Oh, that shouldn't be the case for inserted creature data ever

[empty trail]

ok

[final hazel]

that's just for eggs

[empty trail]

like if i get an egg from the creature

[final hazel]

and even then, it's usually not required, just stops them from resetting for some reason

[empty trail]

also meh creature didn show up!!!!! (i reloaded restore point too, tho i acidentally reloaded autosave first)

cool

[forest herald]

anyone have a mod to decrease sixe of item or all popup descriptions?

[empty trail]

why do none of my save editor edits show up ingame

im editing save.hg (not save2) and clicking save changes when im done

but it doesnt show up

the restore point last edit time doesnt update either

i just want a cool eagle man 😭

[final hazel]

This should never happen, unless you are not selecting File > Save File

[final hazel]

are you selecting "Reload Autosave" in-game after saving the changes?

the changes affect your saves, not the copies of your progress in memory, so you are required to load the save to load the changes

[empty trail]

ill try it again yeah

so

if i edit save.hg (not save2) i reload restore point or autosave?

[final hazel]

Autosave

[empty trail]

ok

[final hazel]

and this is after saving those edits by selecting File > Save File

[empty trail]

IT WORKED

might have made it a bit too big tho... 😅

thenks for your help :>>>>

oof

its SO fast tho

ummm... what is up with this egg (from my eagle guy)

is this normal....

[final hazel]

That indicates that the creature data that it points to is missing/empty

[cobalt condor]

Fallback behavior for that UI popup. Means that the game failed to find the info it should display (as Grouch said, probably because it doesn't exist)

[empty trail]

why would it not exist when i just got it from the creature?

do i need to manually edit the egg or smth

[forest herald]

I wish I could reduce the size of themenu popups

[final hazel]

I'm not sure, it should never happen

I'd just discard the egg and make a new one

[empty trail]

ok

might it have something to do with me fiddling with the creatures age/last egg date when making it?

idk

can i also just create an egg with this creature's genetic code so i can make a bunch of eggs?

skip a few steps ya know

going into edit raw JSON under the eggs tab egg [0] has the same info as the eagle i made inside of it.

and when i tried to hatch the broken egg earlier it said it was still maturing

[grave kelp]

Im new here to pc been on console for years though, am I supposed to use vortex mod manager for the mods or what's the process to get things moving, I have a mod I want it install. Do I just take the files and put them in a folder in NMS program files somewhere or is that what vortex manager does essentially? New to all this but anyone who could send me some info or guide/links it would be greatly appreciated.

[final hazel]

Honestly, try this manager out https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3852

[grave kelp]

Gotchu

[final hazel]

it probably works better than Vortex, at least for the Steam version

[grave kelp]

Wonderful ty I am in steam

[weary needle]

Hey all, I am trying to make a tie fighter in nmsbasebuilder, does this make sense? Can I make it then overlay a scaled up Sphere (Decorations)? Is it hollow inside? Can I always ust beam down to enter or exit?

[final hazel]

I believe the sphere is solid, if you are inside of it then it may attempt to push you out of it or act weird but many colossal things are fine with you being inside them, you'd probably just have to test

[weary needle]

and when done, I export to get the code, then use something like NMSSaveditor to replace the corvette ship slot with this code? Or do I make it into a prefab? Also how do I set this code as a corvette because I think default is base with corvette parts?

[final hazel]

You just replace the corvette's base data with it, which requires using json editing within a save editor

Also with the newest versions of NMS base building app I think you can solely export it as the object data which is easier to do for corvettes as you then don't have to fix UserData to point to the correct ship slot

First of all, go to Edit > Edit Raw JSON > BaseContext > PlayerStateData > Ship Ownership and find out which slot your desired ship is in (it's advised to give it a name, as "default" names are generated on-the-spot and show up as empty in the save data

[weary needle]

im not sure what im doing wrong, i made and exported the code for a ship, I opened my main save in save editor, selected the ship slot for one of my ships, clicked import, pasted the code, then loaded in, all while not connected to internet, but no change to that ship

[final hazel]

Then, go to BaseContext > PlayerStateData > PersistentPlayerBases and find out which base has a UserData that matches the ship slot number you wish to replace the base of

[weary needle]

ok this is good

[final hazel]

Internet connection is irrelevant. Did you paste the base data into a ShipOwnership slot? (not what you were supposed to do)

[weary needle]

(thanks for all the typing btw)

i just selected a corvette from the list and imported the code into that slot, but yeah ill look into the raw json categories you mentioned

[final hazel]

Oh, that will not work as that import expects ship data, not base data

ship data specifically exported using the save editor

You will need to use raw json editing to paste the base data over a corvette's base entry, or at least the Objects into it's Objects which may be much cleaner

[grave kelp]

If i go back to ps5 after play with mods is it going to corrupt my file?

Im getting this mod warning

[final hazel]

This appears when using any mods

[final hazel]

There aren't any mods that can influence save data like that, none permanently modify it or anything

[grave kelp]

Ok I got base builder mod installed thats it, trying to extract and tweak a vette.

[grave kelp]

Ok awesome ty

[final hazel]

Stuff might get weird if you use mods that change planet generation or terrain, but the game is usually quite good at correcting for stuff that shouldn't make sense

[grave kelp]

Alright cool

[frank bridge]

Would it technically be possible to simulate NMS planet generation to find strange planets?
Kinda like Minecraft seed finding, except with planets.

[final hazel]

People have done that quite a lot with sentinel ships

The entire overall procgen system has been reverse engineered before so it could be done more/again, but in most cases it takes a lot of the fun out of things

[empty trail]

Yeah

Id mostly wanna use it to see the most ridiculous planets imaginable

but even then probably not

Maybe I'd use it to see if my dream planet exists in the galaxy at all and if so how many times, but not use it to go there

[obtuse creek]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3715?file_id=44923

@empty trail

kinda does what your asking

[empty trail]

Ooo

Thanks

I'll have to check this out later :)

[obtuse creek]

It's pretty cool.

[empty trail]

if i unlock some expedition rewards via save editor, and then do the expedition later if they rerun it, what happens?

[cobalt condor]

same thing as if you unlocked those rewards properly then replayed it. You'll get the rewards you don't already have

[empty trail]

alr cool

also can i manually make eggs with one of my companion's genetic code in goatfungus save editor? and can i change their maturation timer (so i dont have to wait)?

[final hazel]

For that you'd be better using companion pet unlocker, but you could set their birth times or egg times lower in raw json save editing which also works

[empty trail]

ok. can i just paste the JSON for one egg into another egg (after adding an egg to my inventory) to create more eggs of the same companion?

[final hazel]

Yes, that is how I do that to give them out

[empty trail]

oh cool

[final hazel]

If you don't need to give creatures out, you can make your changes/copies within the actual pet register itself

[empty trail]

and for the timer do i just set like the birth time number way far down

[empty trail]

oh neat

[final hazel]

Pretty much yeah, I'm not sure which one does what since I change both at the same time if I have to

and overuse a mod that ignores the cooldown of inducing eggs

[empty trail]

nice

so

what do mood 1 and mood 2 mean

for companions

[final hazel]

Mood one is happiness, mood 2 is food I think

[empty trail]

ah

i reduced the birth timer on the one egg and then created a new companion egg and copied the code into it so lets see what happens

it worked

the item popup still says economy scanner

but it worked

oh

i cant put them in the egg sequencer

[final hazel]

Oh, that indicates that the egg data cannot be found/read

or that it is empty

[empty trail]

yeah both of them are like that

but as far as im aware they hatch into the right creature

the first one did anyway

havent tried the duped one

sooo idk what went wrong

here is the JSON in a txt file if that helps

is it missing data that it needs or smth

[final hazel]

You may need to copy it again, I'm not sure what went wrong (I can't read the json atm)

[empty trail]

does it need species/genus/color/bonescale seeds becaquse all of those are 0x0

also theres like 3 copies of the pet in the companions tab but i only have 1....

[final hazel]

I have no idea, personally I'd make sure you're editing a creature that you know works, or at least using values that you know work, I remember one value that the editor defaulted to 0 was making the game consider the pet/egg sections corrupted/unreadable/formatted wrong

[empty trail]

alr

i do have this eagle egg that someone gave me prior to this that does work

ive hatched it and ill take a look at it

this one does have all the seeds

ill copy the creature data to an egg and leave the base creature alone i think

as a precaution

hmm this one has a "Thrust" variable

but my eagle doesnt

nvm

im stupid it says trust

😭

hmm didnt work

i got rid of the 2 weirdo eggs

im gonna try duplicating the eagle i do have, and then in game ill get them to lay an egg

see what that does

oh except i forgot to change their birthdates

ah well

if the duplicated one worked i can just go with that cuz it also has the colors i want

the duplicated one worked!!

thanks for your help grouch :>

[undone condor]

is there a mod for disabling resouce respawning?

[green lynx]

Lush Finder is evolving, new customized search options, only a few now but hopefully they open up more. Also their other new mod Creature Finder is amazing for finding specific fauna

[fresh arch]

it only "opens up more" as HG adds new properties that allow for scanning for specific stuff

Mods can not introduce new functionality, only reuse what HG already provides in vanilla game

Not to mention this particular mod is just a rehash of existing mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2144

They removed the scan options they weren't interested in and added variants of lush specific scan options

The whole "framewok" to bring all the various scan options to the game was done and tested by someone else

[twin monolith]

so i tried trading a ship that i created in the savfile editor, it works find but when i tried giving to a friend through the process of first selling it to an npc in space station, i am able to see the ship with the npc but my friend doesnt

is this becaue the ship was modded?

[final hazel]

Define "modded"

and know that the technology inventory and stats modified using a save editor would not transfer, the ship would be as if it was brand-new

[twin monolith]

hmm that makes sense

he did tell me it wasnt even an s class

it showed as A class with just basic tech

why is that tho

[final hazel]

Yes, as described in the ship trading guide #nms-legacy-ships message class will always reroll it's class unless it's exotic or a living ship

[final hazel]

and again, that's just how it works as other players' installed tech isn't transmitted through MP

so when another player's ship becomes claimable from an NPC, you see what your client has been interpreting it as, or at least what it now interprets it as

which is just a random ship with the seed of the ship they use

[twin monolith]

oh i see thanks for clearing that up

[final hazel]

and also, if it's a fabricated ship then trading it to a friend will either be impossible or will change it's appearance drastically

[twin monolith]

no he saw the ship but he kept saying it was A class and basic upgrades

so i thought he was seeing the wrong ship and mine wasnt visible to him

thank you thank you

[grizzled geyser]

haai

i wanna get the rewards of past expeditions. how do i do it?

im on pc

[silver condor]

mod called consumerism, but you buy them with qs. there are others that let you do the expiditions as well. not sure about any that just unlock them for free though

[grizzled geyser]

oof

so it jsut lets you buy the expedition rewards for qs?

im confused

so i would still have to farm quick silver to get them?

[rigid gate]

Using Consumerism specifically, yep.
Staying purely on the modding area, you can use cwmonkey's mod to replay old expeditions, but that requires you to, well, replay the expeditions before getting the rewards lol.

[grizzled geyser]

oof

so using a save editor might be better

[rigid gate]

If you want to simply unlock everything, I'd say so

[grizzled geyser]

only things i wanna unlock are the rewards of past expeditions nothing more tbh

[rigid gate]

Can get some info about those here: #nms-modding message
But if you are concerned about safety, I'll leave the answer to someone with more knowledge 😅

[grizzled geyser]

i just changed my save file but i cant find the ship trails

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1507txf/pc_how_to_unlock_all_expedition_rewards i was following this post

everything seems to be unlocked fully but i cant find the ship trails

[final hazel]

Please don't follow that, please use an actual save editor

Or just install Consumerism ÷ Communism

Oh it still works after everything, wacky

[grizzled geyser]

its very.... weird

like...

[final hazel]

Are you able to install them into an open starship tech slot?

[grizzled geyser]

they are not there thats the thing

[final hazel]

/ claim their blueprint from the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion

[grizzled geyser]

it doesnt let me to

[final hazel]

Claim it

[grizzled geyser]

it doesnt let me to claim it

[final hazel]

Oh, that's super strange

Clicking it should give you the blueprint

[grizzled geyser]

when i click it absolutely nothing happenes

at all

what do i do?

[past palm]

i want to be able to do expidition 12 but the website i looked at looks scary idk how to do that

[grizzled geyser]

i made a backup of my savefile

how do i make a backup?

oh wait nvm its this, click Steam and click Go Offline

https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/0E18-319B-E34B-B2C8

[cobalt condor]

If you're trying to do old expeditions you have to actually disconnect from the internet though, pretty sure (or at least block the game from connecting to the internet)

with or without a connection to the steam servers it will still connect to the expedition server

[final hazel]

Then why does the guide on the website say you can just set Steam to offline?

[cobalt condor]

really? I've always heard full offline

I might be wrong then

[grizzled geyser]

seems i installed the mods

i try to start the game

[past palm]

where exactly in the save code does it define your balances for quicksilver, nanites, units?

i tried looking up the number i had for it and it doesnt show up in any of the files

[grizzled geyser]

so the consumerism and communism dont add any modded items to the game, justm makes existing items avalible right?

[final hazel]

Using NMSSE, it should be changeable in the Exosuit tab

[past palm]

is there no way to change it without downloading a save editor?

[final hazel]

Pretty much, as save data is heavily compressed

[final hazel]

That is correct, it does not add anything new

[past palm]

damn

i really didnt want to have to download external stuff

[grizzled geyser]

so after i got everything i wanted, its safe to remove the mods and still gonna have everything i got correct?

thankies much

[past palm]

i gave myself old expedition stuff by altering the code in files

so ive got 56471 Nanites and 3035 Quicksilver is it likely that this is where those values are saved?

[final hazel]

Probably

I personally wouldn't chance it, and would just download NMSSE

it's a portable installation that touches nothing

[past palm]

well i could try and if it doesnt work just change it back right?

or would that break stuff?

[final hazel]

maybe, make a backup first

[past palm]

i have a backup yeah

[past palm]

should i change the value in both save.hg and save2.hg?

[final hazel]

Only the latest save will matter

[past palm]

they seem to be duplicates of each other

[past palm]

ill just change both to be safe

[final hazel]

well only the latest one matters, the game will load the latest one

one is your autosave, the other is your restore point

[past palm]

idrk which one is the lasest though

[final hazel]

check last modified dates

[past palm]

uhhhhh

[final hazel]

or just sort them by date

in a file browser

[past palm]

soooo

i changed the value

and started my game
and it asked me to begin initialization
do i did
and it seems to have spawned me in a brand new save

[final hazel]

This is what happens when you load a corrupted save.

[past palm]

ah

so i changed it back and it still didnt fix it

still asked to begin initialization after resetting the values

[final hazel]

Then replace it with the backup

you may also do changes like this while the game is open, and load them by just reloading restore point/autosave

[past palm]

just delete the original st.164036 with the replacement?

[final hazel]

just paste the two saves over, but that works too

[past palm]

ok

i am at least confident that my backup is functiuonal

thats good

cuz i was kinda worried it wouldnt work

but it did 🔥

my backup started up without problems

but unfortunately that number seems to not be the number for your quicksilver balance

[sinful dagger]

any mods or strats to bypass ship validation in corvette editor?

[final hazel]

To my knowledge, not anyway in-game since #nms-corvette-discussion message was patched

you would need to use save editing to remove the "necessary" modules

[sinful dagger]

ffs why did they remove that shi 😭

o well thanks save edit it is

[brisk epoch]

i just spent like 20 minutes completely remaking a mod library for it to be one mod that didnt work

im tweaking

[solid hawk]

Just you wait until you get a few game updates under your belt, where a given update will break some mods, but not others.

One mods broken is easy. It's when it's multiple that it becomes difficult to find the culprits.

[bright goblet]

When you have installed mods that allow base part building on corvettes, do the base doors that attach to cube/cylinder rooms actually work and let you walk through them? I can build the doors on my corvette but they aren't actually passable

when for example I build a cube room and put a door on it

[solid hawk]

In order to allow for a non-vanilla build object to be used on a corvette, one of two properties have to be set as true, either BuildableInShipStructural or BuildableInShipDecorative. Both can have functional consequences, which are not controllable via mod, as the results are controlled from within the exe functions where we have no visibility. One mod, within my knowledge, sets all non-corvette build objects as decorative, as the lesser of two evils. Guessing the door operation may be linked to "power" within the corvette. You could try editing the BASEBUILDINGOBJECTSTABLE.EXML within the mod folder, to change the BuildableInShipDecorative to BuildableInShipStructural for this door and see what happens.

[bright goblet]

hmm ok interesting thank you for that I will dig and play around with it

[solid hawk]

Let us know how it goes.

[brisk epoch]

ive dealt with that like 3 times

also

nms just fucked my mods ig

i crashed and they wont deploy and idk how to fix them

[final hazel]

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

[brisk epoch]

and ofc my pc doesnt want to let me open nms's file location

[brisk epoch]

yep

i remember talking to you and getting rid of that

[solid hawk]

A crash is normally caused by an outdated mod

[brisk epoch]

it asked me to disable mods and i clicked no and when i reopened the game it said it disabled them

[solid hawk]

So after you saw that, you then tried deleting GCMODSETTINGS.MXML?

[brisk epoch]

...

why is it back

WAIT

[solid hawk]

Or you're saying that you did that once previously?

[final hazel]

It regenerates on game boot

with defaults

[solid hawk]

It is regenerate, if missing, when the game starts

[brisk epoch]

ohhhh my goodddd i uninstalled and reinstalled the game a while ago

[solid hawk]

If it becomes corrupted, we just delete, then the game can recreate fresh

[brisk epoch]

i did that when voyagers came out

[solid hawk]

May need to do again then

[brisk epoch]

just deleted it

[solid hawk]

It can be a reoccuring thing

[brisk epoch]

Im hoping the crash didnt make me lose my ship bc i was trying to trade it with a npc to get them on my squadron

..it did

[solid hawk]

Game probably didn't have the time to write the change to your save file.

[final hazel]

you could try loading the more previous save

[brisk epoch]

maybe

[solid hawk]

As general troubleshooting, are all of your mods ones that have been updated since 29 January 2025?

[brisk epoch]

ooh its from 10 minutes ago maybe

[brisk epoch]

yep

[solid hawk]

Every mod from before that date is toast.

[brisk epoch]

it saved after i traded </3

[solid hawk]

There are mods, since that date, which have required updates, most succeptible to which are those where the mod folder contains .MBIN type files. These generally need to be updated for, at least, every major version update of NMS (examples 5.60, 5.70, 6.00, 6.10), although some could also need updating for minor version increments (examples 6.11, 6.12, 6.16), depending 100% on what HelloGames has changed in the files.

[bright goblet]

ok I tried this and was able to make the door act as a corvette structural part but it still didn't seem to change the functionality besides not being able to edit it outside of shipbuilder mode,
the holo doors seem to work fine though/can be walked through so I will just work with those but thanks again for the info

[steel harbor]

There a camera mod / photomode mod?

[final hazel]

At best there's https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2148 and https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3300

the latter now only affects photo mode due to build cam changes in Voyagers

but there is a different mod that re-implements it's changes for build cam

[steel harbor]

Does it remove the limit on focal distance
Like the min i can go is 2u
I wanna go as low as 0.5u

[final hazel]

Oh, no

that could probably be done, but I don't know of a mod that does that

[steel harbor]

Ts pmo 🥀

[sinful dagger]

chat
my corvette consistently doesnt land right
any ideas why that could happen and what parts could be responsible?

[daring niche]

Is there a way to mod sound files? Say replace the sound of the multitool mining beam firing

[hearty wasp]

Yeah

[solid hawk]

As an FYI, modding sound files is not quick or easy, can be highly arcane and time consuming, with little available assistance in doing so. More general steps than specifics.

[daring niche]

Dang. I was hoping to redesign some of the sounds and try them out.

I'll look into it later. Are there any existing resources on it to get started?

[hearty wasp]

It's just wem replacements

Guides for other games are equally applicable for NMS

[daring niche]

thanks

[empty trail]

with the goatfungus save editor, if i edit save2.hg does that i mean i have to reload my restore point instead of my autosave to apply changes?

[final hazel]

As save2 is the restore point, yes

[empty trail]

cool

thanks

so i need to put 1 unit of smth in the neural calibrator to keep scaled up creatures scaled up?

when i did this and then modified the egg again it didnt work

[final hazel]

Maybe, personally i haven't needed to do that

Especially not needed for sizes that are within normal bounds

But telling your friend to do that may help it not reset it's size to within normal bounds

[empty trail]

yeah

my eagle's scale is 1.85 but the egg came out scale 1 so

i fixed it with save editor tho

[final hazel]

Ah, then yeah, tell them to put in something in the neural calibrator maybe

[empty trail]

can i move creatures around in my slots by pasting their json into a new slot and replacing the old slot with the default json

[final hazel]

Yes, you can do that

[empty trail]

cool

[grizzled geyser]

haai

what are the most recommended mods in general?

[solid hawk]

Aren't any, in general. NMS mod usage is highly subjective, so entirely based on what you want to see modded in the game and your unique play style for the game.

I may like mod X, but you would hate it. You may like mod Y, but I would hate it.

If you are new to NMS, recommended to not play with any mods for awhile, to get a feel for the game and what sort of mods you'd like, which will aid you in finding mods.

Then, if you were to ask, "What mods are there to change planetary sky colors?", for example, then you could get answers for detailed specific requests.

[grizzled geyser]

alrighties

[empty trail]

So the nms base building mod also lets you make corvettes

This one https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2598

[fair belfry]

I'm trying out that app for the first time and I have NO idea how to use it lmao

I'm trying to make a rocketship

How do I get the pieces to "snap" like in a corvette build station?

[hard bane]

search for ayun workship on youtube, they have a guide video should be something like 'how to make the best corvettes' as the title

its gonna be step by step through the whole process from 0

only need to learn it once

[agile geyser]

Im trying to do save edit for the expedition I just missed, kinda feel bad about it but I wont beable to do the redo of it
and its not letting me unlock name tag items or exhaust trails
any ideas on what to do?
It shows it as availiable but doesnt acutally give it when I click it
realize its only things in the appearances tab

I know it has to do somethign with the "known product" but I know nothign about that

[exotic wyvern]

if i purchase a outfit mod on steam and use that outfit, and then play on xbox will i still have the outfit on

[final hazel]

Very much depends on the mod, I don't know of any "outfit mods"

Do you have a link to this mod?

It will very much depend on how the mod does what it does

[exotic wyvern]

it is the consumerism mod i think which grants you all expedtion rewards i believe

[final hazel]

Oh, that does not add any new customization options to the game

it simply makes existing ones that were previously able to be earned in community expeditions sold for quicksilver

when you unlock them in any way, they stay unlocked

[agile geyser]

Any ideas? ive tried a lot and still cant figure it out

I noticed the items that are cosmetic that cant be collected IS availiable to put on my avatar but things like the trail is doing the samething but I cant craft it like I normally would

[final hazel]

I've seen reports of some people encountering this without save editing, so it may simply be a new bug

[agile geyser]

It seems to be a thing for a while

Im trying to figure it out soon

[vale iron]

For years I've had problems where some rewards would show as claimable even though I already had them from other sources, and I couldn't get rid of them. You aren't talking about that, are you?

[round sinew]

@fair narwhal i wonder if you have the hardframe parts installed. try taking those out. see if it still does it.

[fair narwhal]

it does it no matter what , im like a virus in a body, it attacks me

also i froze

so im gonna try it some other time

[round sinew]

this is a recent bug that's affecting the claim process: for some, it shows as claimed, but wont appear on tech install list. for others, they cant even claim them - it just remains as available

[fair narwhal]

again , since the minotaurs engine speed (as far as i know) cannot be modified , (yet), the xml file does not have its jet boost speed in there, it takes me 5 mins to get up to my fleet jetpackin in it

but it does have its fuel use as a modifiable variable

set it to 0.0000

so its got unlimited fuel

all of the exocraft now do

unlimited boost cooldown too

edited a .xml file i got that was intended to remove the random generation from upgrades , but they left in the editable xml that i can just mess with the numbers in it

[vale iron]

My mod edits the minotaur jetpack

[fair narwhal]

by editing a thing called NMS_REALITY_GCPROCEDURALTECHNOLOGYTABLE.EXML you are pretty much god

so helpful that the mod creator basically put info on which stat is which

its the mod called bDerandomizer

yeah , i guess they didnt think people would edit that

maybe they did who knows

i dont know if editing an existing mod is frowned upon or not

least i aint gonna publish it and claim anything

id never be that much of a jerk

i might edit stuff but i won't plagarize

[fair narwhal]

it does? does it increase the speed of it?

because that in combination with the stuff i already did with it , i'd finally have a gundam in the game

[vale iron]

Yes, it alters everything

[compact patio]

Anyone know how I would go about editing the Consumerism xml to disable unlocking of Expedition rewards? Hopefully, planning on leaving the unlocking of Expedition rewards to cwmonkey's Replay Expedition mod. And just using Consumerism to make Twitch and Community rewards available.

The mod owner said it's possible to comment out the Expedition rewards, and I'm familiar with some scripting stuff, but I took a peek in there and was like "Whoa. Not sure where to start here..."

[fair belfry]

I'm trying to use the beyond bb mod to increase the build limit on corvettes, but it's not really working since there's still a limit and I don't see base parts in the corveette build menu, did I install it wrong?

last time I downloaded the mod I only used it for a day as the game got updated so it made the mod obsolete lmao

never bothered to update it since I never really used it till now

[final hazel]

BBB doesn't increase corvette complexity limits to my knowledge

It looks installed correctly though, do you get the mod warning on startup?

[fair belfry]

Uh... no actually

Am I supposed to get that warning EVERY time I boot up the game?

[final hazel]

Then either no mods are being registered or mods have been disabled by gcmodsettings

[fair belfry]

Also gotcha, guess I misunderstood it. But still, I think I did something wrong as no new build options were added to the corvette menu

[final hazel]

Go delete No Man's Sky/BINARIES/SETTINGS/GCMODSETTINGS.MXML

Then open the game again

[fair belfry]

okayyyyyyyyyy

[fair belfry]

It worked! I wonder why my mods stopped working? I never even noticed, as you can see I don't really use that many mods because I enjoy the game as it is, and I THINK the grass fix mod was working? Can't really say whether the expanse and stratos ones were working or not since they only affect the sky and space background and honestly I never really noticed a big difference but on the other hand I haven't really gone out space exploring just yet

still wonder why my mods got broken tho

[final hazel]

If the mod warning was not appearing, all mods were disabled. This happens when the game crashes usually

Sometimes it's an option, sometimes it's automatic

[fair belfry]

Yeah my game crashes a lot when I alt tab as I'm entering the anomaly

or if I afk for too long

:(

thank you though!!

[solid hawk]

There are NO outfit mods for NMS, no mods on steam for NMS, and certainly no mods which need to be bought.

[solid hawk]

NMS game updates will sometimes disable mods as well.

[fair belfry]

Darn

Guess I'll have to keep an eye on my mods then

Though it's a bit embarrassing for me to just now notice none of the ones I had were active lmao

I could've sworn the grass fix and sky/space background ones were working

[valid osprey]

How can I use reshade? from nexus mods?

[hearty wasp]

by installing reshade

google "install reshade" instead since reshade is an external program

[granite inlet]

I disabled my mods and idk how to re enable them, the game crashed and gave me a pop up asking to disable mads and i clicked yes, how do i re enable them

[hearty wasp]

#nms-modding message troubleshooting section

[granite inlet]

👍

[valid osprey]

Like the reshade mods ?

[hearty wasp]

just google that exact quote phrase

[empty trail]

anyone?

[empty trail]

and also if you give yourself an aquatic companion with the save editor can you ride underwater creatures

how does that work

[valid osprey]

I'm not even sure if you can make a aquatic animal

[final hazel]

Were you asking a question? Yes, the base building app and blender plugin both allow modification of corvette-class starships.

The way you phrased the message implied you were telling someone that you can do this

[empty trail]

Ah my bad

Twas a question, thanks tho :)

[empty trail]

Ig there's only one way to find out

Would be pretty sick

[valid osprey]

Maybe use the coding thing in the save editor

[valid osprey]

How could I use shader packs? They don't work

[final hazel]

There are not any shader packs for No Man's Sky. If you're referring to reshade presets, go find out how to download/install reshade.

[valid osprey]

ohhh I have to download the reshade thing in opera/google

[valid osprey]

Alright so I downloaded reshade and now no mans sky keeps crashing what do I do?

Anyone can help me?

[hearty wasp]

ask in reshade forums instead

anything reshade related should go there

[valid osprey]

It takes like 5 hours for someone to respond

[solid hawk]

Will take a LOT longer here because nobody who hangs here uses reshade. lol

We do our kicks with mods. 🙂

To put into context, less than 1% of NMS players use mods. Less than 1% of NMS players who use mods, use reshade presets.

So, somewhere between 0.2 and 11 people.

your mod is incredible

because it also shows me the variables of what the mech can do

like i had no idea it was possible to change its ai behavior to fire more then just a few shots at a time

now this things a fighting beast

[vale iron]

Glad you like it. I haven't messed with the combat personally. I just like it to be able to move

[fair narwhal]

holy crap its rambo now

wow

this things firing its weapons like insane, because i also changed the rate of fire for its S class cannon upgrades

and edited the limit of how much tech can be stacked, supercharged all exocraft slots

so now this thing is optimus prime basically

and its got infinite health doesnt it

well not literally infinite, but a high amount

yooo this thing jetpacks to space hahaha

over 1,000 ku/h

you turned one of the worst mechanics of this game into a powerhouse of a fighting machine, that's crazy

[vale iron]

Be careful fighting sentinels when they spawn a sentinel mech

whatll happen

will they too be powerful?

nothng my gun named "i'm your father god" can't handle

with its millions of damage

At least the movement gets applied to them, too

Weapons probably not

Yeah, don't want to take up too many landing pads.

It's not that. Can drop others FPS to the floor and cause crashes.
