anyone got some good tutorials for corvette building with the nms base builder mod? having a hard time even finding any videos about it?

[empty trail]

also according to my tests with this guy while you can have aquatic fauna as companions you cannot interact with them no matter what you set the creature type to

which is sad

i wanted to ride my giant death shark

[rustic rock]

your gonna need a bigger boat.

[empty trail]

Wb this tho

[cold sequoia]

I did not know fish can get this big in the game lol

[empty trail]

Because I made it that big in save editor

Initially it was scale 8.5 and it was as big as the lake

[cold sequoia]

Wow cool lol

Yeah it would end up not being able to swim then lol

[empty trail]

I wish I could interact with and ride it tho

Then make it very huge and take it to a waterworld

[hearty wasp]

you may be able to if you mod the creature type and add the rideable data

keyword being "mod"

[empty trail]

How does one do that

I tried changing the creature type from Shark to Predator and then to Pet but it retains the behavior

[hearty wasp]

"mod"

[empty trail]

So

Not a save editor

[hearty wasp]

indeed

[empty trail]

alas

[fossil summit]

would anyone be kind enough to help me import a ship to my save i downloaded? ive got the save editor im just not understanding it... thank you 🙂

[agile geyser]

this is me right now, any ideas on what to dp?

Items NOT in Known Products, but are shown as avaliable and cant collect

[glossy heart]

a way to copy custom corvettes to another save available somehow?

to an already existing save

[silk grove]

I have a flying pancake as a companion

[foggy bolt]

How mod?

[final hazel]

#nms-modding message

[silk tapir]

can someone help me i got this complexity limit mod that wont work. its in the right folder it just doesn't work in game

[final hazel]

Is it an extra folder deep? Please send a screenshot of it's file path

[final hazel]

So it is an extra folder deep (noted by the numbers)

Take the folder that is inside of that and place it inside of GAMEDATA/MODS

GAMEDATA/PCBANKS/MODS is not the mod folder location anymore, has not been for nearly a year

[silk tapir]

I cannot find the folder

[final hazel]

for up to date mod installation/troubleshooting, see http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

[final hazel]

Then make it

[silk tapir]

Oh ok didnt know u can just do that xP

[final hazel]

The MODS folder does not come with the vanilla game, and must be made manually

[silk tapir]

it still says complexity limit breached

[final hazel]

Did you get a mod warning when booting the game?

[silk tapir]

yea i think so

[final hazel]

Then I'm not sure what is wrong, unless you are still able to finalize after the limit or something. Please send another screenshot of the mod folder path, down to the lowest folder

[final hazel]

again, the mod folder is one folder too deep

Place the "Buildable Ship 99999 EXML" folder inside of GAMEDATA/MODS

the game will not read mod folders that are an extra folder too deep

[silk tapir]

isnt it already in there ?

[final hazel]

No, it's inside of GAMEDATA/MODS/BuildableShip 99999 EXML-3701-6-01-1756698417

[silk tapir]

do i need to remove the other one?

[final hazel]

Simply copy Buildable Ship 99999 EXML, go to GAMEDATA/MODS, then paste

then delete BuildableShip 99999 EXML-3701-6-01-1756698417 (not required)

[silk tapir]

it works!

thank you so so much

[sweet trench]

does anyone have the best exosuit seed for jetpacks and stuff like that

[final hazel]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kcEtrAdkSd-eeOp4rxOX8XUCHUSBPt5T_FVy2AbI8tY/edit?gid=0#gid=0

[sweet trench]

ty

[empty trail]

With seed editor can you like change the seed of tech you add to the inventory or is it just random

[final hazel]

Yes, you can change the seed of all procedural upgrade modules

including the corvette modules, which are classified as such

though I doubt anyone has found the most optimal seeds for those yet

most people don't even know they're procedural tech, and assume they're fixed stats based on xyz factors

[fresh arch]

Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if the same seeds worked

Because internally those corvette parts are linked to the same templates regular proc gen upgrades use

So maybe the same seed with applies to the same template will produce the same max stats

[final hazel]

That'd make sense, besides unique ones like the rocket launcher upgrades

[round sinew]

well, depending on what you're looking for, it might be in different tables. what's the item you're trying to fix first, for example? did you check the discovery tab, to see if the techs/products you want are on the list? if they're not, you pretty much would just tick their boxes there. you'd also want to confirm accountdata json, to make sure that things are indeed unlocked account wide atm

[lofty oracle]

anyone know the seed for sentinel weapons to get the pistol and not rifle?

[agile geyser]

Did that. I stopped trying to unlock the stuff and was testing on one random expedition item that was a appearance modifyer

One point I got my other save I don't use and wiped the entire known products and stuf and added the expedition hat and it still diddnt work

[empty trail]

Does adding tech with goatfungus cause the technology to overload if I'm adding over 3

[hearty wasp]

tech overload is calculated in real time so always

just use a no overload mod

[empty trail]

Ok

[zinc jay]

Tossing it over here since it seems like this pool of folks might know: Anyone aware of an easily referenced list of JSON tags with descriptions? Context is sorting through an old save with a lot of previous edits to "merge" expeditions prior to the ability to run them from the Anomaly. Looking to ensure that nothing was inadvertently added that would not be obtainable through regular play.

[solid hawk]

For latest exe, mapping.json: https://github.com/monkeyman192/MBINCompiler/releases

[granite inlet]

I bought some ship trails with the yellow currency, i forgot what its called, and put it in my ship but I had a trails mod on it that was overriding the color so I removed the mod after a crash, and now the trail colors are showing as unlocked, but they aren't showing in my buildable tech

Also the currency is back as if it wasnt spent

Would a fresh install fix that?

[hearty wasp]

No

Likely just need to edit your save

[granite inlet]

I've never done save edits, it seemed dodgy to me, but idk how this game is with that kinda think also

[zinc jay]

Not quite what I'm looking for -- trying to find a list of parts/recipes. Essentially looking for something to reference KnownTech/KnownProducts in a save file against in a way that will allow me to quickly winnow out the bulk that are obviously attainable through regular play, so I can search up the remainder.

[granite inlet]

How would I do that?

[hearty wasp]

prolly just need to add the entry back into your known products list

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[hearty wasp]

feel free to ask there

[solid hawk]

Just use either save editor, both have everything listed in their GUI.

[granite inlet]

👍🏻

[hearty wasp]

I don't think there's a humanly compiled list for that, you can always just search through the in-game files to see where the different rewards come from tho

[zinc jay]

Neither are terribly useful for a comparison on that scale, and NomNom literally chokes and dies on the save.

[solid hawk]

Then can go to the game data files, but you'll be scraping the info from there as well, separating the relevant from non

[zinc jay]

Unfortunate, I thought someone might've already done so. Ah well. Such is life.

[hearty wasp]

everyone who has had that idea thinking that is likely why it hasn't been done

[solid hawk]

Have to take into account a very tiny percentage of NMS player use save editors and of that number significantly smaller number leave the GUI and dare raw json edit

For the vast majority, the existing tools work for most usage.

[rapid sandal]

You should be able to create a nmsmb query script to get that info. Ask again in the NMS Modding discord in the nmsmb-csharp channel and i can walk you through it if you want.

[zinc jay]

True, but given that the tools half-do it, it seemed like it might be a possibility. Technically NMSResources has done it (looking up an item displays the corresponding tag), it's just not at all useful for searching the other direction.

[solid hawk]

Have you asked staff on NMSResources about it?

They might consider doing both ways.

[zinc jay]

Might be a tall ask, looking at the entries or pulling them out and doing a diff between a creative save to blow out the bulk is about the extent of my skill.

[hearty wasp]

it's likely like 3 more lists to pull from

[zinc jay]

I have not. I'll give that a go.

[hearty wasp]

you're not gonna be making changes anyway

[solid hawk]

Since they already have the data. No need to reinvent the wheel

[rapid sandal]

🤷‍♂️ nmsmb already builds a list of all recipes and their ingredients, and it has the ability to load a save file and get the json. so you'd get the save json, goto the known* sections and iterate through them and lookup the recipes that use the product|substance (or the other way), nmsmb has helper methods to search recipes to find those that either create or use a given item.
again, if you want give specific instructions in the nmsmb-csharp channel and i can walk you through creating the query script.

[solid hawk]

I present the new and improved wheel. 🟨 Completely stable and you will not roll away inadvertantly.

[zinc jay]

Think we're talking about two different use cases, but I'll pick it up over there all the same.

[rapid sandal]

I'm not clear on which it the outer loop and which is the inner, and what you want to output. Was just saying that's it just as easy to do either way.

[hazy olive]

Zarkan Frood sent me here. Is there a way to extract the corvette into some file I can use to 3D print a model of it?

[thin shard]

For the infra-knife platform that I have attached (I got 3) on my corvette can I change the seed of them I changed the upgrade modules and such but can I change the actual platform seed

[final hazel]

Yes, you can. Just right click them and select "Item Details" like you do with any other upgrade modules.

[thin shard]

what'd be the best ones for the platforms

[final hazel]

Like I said here #nms-questions message, we don't have the optimal numbers yet.

[thin shard]

alright

[final hazel]

You could change then randomly until you find a somewhat optimal one, or try the seeds for S-Class upgrade modules of that type and see what happens

[thin shard]

seeds for s-class platforms..?

[final hazel]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kcEtrAdkSd-eeOp4rxOX8XUCHUSBPt5T_FVy2AbI8tY/edit?gid=0#gid=0

[thin shard]

thanks

[thin shard]

thanks

so doing max borderline 900k damage.. so now

It didn't work

They just get put in random locations

And the damage goes from 700-900k to 500k

And I do save the goatfungus thing

it just keeps going back to what it was before

meh it's fine as is

[empty trail]

What is ANIMUSS

[final hazel]

I do not know, I cannot find any details about that immediately.

Unless you are referring to the Animus Beam Multi-Tool weapon

[empty trail]

Oh sorry

ANUMSS

in the pin in this channel for how to mod

[final hazel]

Oh, are you referring to AMUMSS? https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/957

It's a program that uses .lua files to build mods using your currently installed game version's files, it used to be very essential to mod installation but now it can mostly be ignored if you are not a mod author or aren't using mods that have conflicting .MBIN files

[empty trail]

Ah interesting

Thanks :)

[thin shard]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2162 okay how would I install this on my steam deck.... it's time to rev up the power on my corvette

[final hazel]

Just download the mod, unzip it and place the "cb Remove Technology Overload" folder inside of GAMEDATA/MODS (I'm not sure how browsing files in SteamOS works)

[thin shard]

Mk

[final hazel]

if the MODS folder does not exist yet, create it

[thin shard]

Got it

[empty trail]

where can i find tutorials for the nms base builder mod (especially corvette building with it)

[thin shard]

hey uh how would I in no mans sky for goatfungus unlock the (aeron I think that's what it was called) stuff but in game, so in goatfungus it's not there has expedition 20 been done or released or something?

[final hazel]

I believe they have not directly been added to the Season Rewards section. It may be much easier to just use the Consumerism mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2062

[thin shard]

is it better then goatfungus

[final hazel]

Consumerism is a mod. Goatfungus' No Man's Sky Save Editor is a Save Editor.

[thin shard]

time to install to my deck scuse me

[empty trail]

this is correct?

[final hazel]

That installation path seems correct, yes

[empty trail]

yay

i also heard theres a .txt file that disables mods i have to remove?

[final hazel]

There has not been such a file since Worlds Part II which released on January 29th, 2025

For up-to-date mod installation/troubleshooting, see http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

[empty trail]

cool

[final hazel]

This was however replaced with No Man's Sky/Binaries/SETTINGS/GCMODSETTINGS.MXML, which has many mod settings within it including a "DisableAllMods" property that is enabled sometimes when the game crashes with mods installed. If that happens, it can safely be deleted and will regenerate with defaults the next time the game opens.

[empty trail]

ah, thank you

ill keep my eyes out for it

alr

backed up my save file...

lets try out consumerism

[thin shard]

So I just extract all the nexus mods in the mods folder right?

[final hazel]

Yes, and make sure that the mods are not one extra folder deep

[thin shard]

mk

[final hazel]

if a folder inside of GAMEDATA/MODS has a bunch of numbers in it's name, take the folder inside that one out of it

[empty trail]

pardon me?

thats

a bit pricy

the dang iron vulture is cheaper than one of its parts 😭

[final hazel]

Those are the default prices for those parts, in Units. The mod author refuses to modify their values

[empty trail]

😭

[final hazel]

You could install Communism alongside it to lower the prices for them to Free

[thin shard]

time to make a mod folder I'm in gamedata but.. no mods (this is on steam deck)

[final hazel]

Yes, the MODS folder is not a folder that comes with the vanilla game

[thin shard]

cue the construction music!

i have to call it "MODS" don't I

[final hazel]

Yes, not sure if capitalization matters but just call it MODS

[thin shard]

okay the mods folder is made then just extract right?

[final hazel]

Just put the extracted mod folders within GAMEDATA/MODS, yes

[thin shard]

k done

[final hazel]

and make sure that mods are not placed one folder too deep #nms-modding message

[thin shard]

gamewhatever it was called/mods then extracted into mods so the folders are in mods

gamedata

sorry emudecky was bullying me trying to take my lunch money so I uninstalled it and told it's mum

err it says "mod warning" do I continue?

too late I continued

it says reward not yet earned yet I installed these mods

[final hazel]

Yes, it will still say that until you unlock it. Consumerism adds them to the quicksilver shop part of it to be purchased directly

[thin shard]

...oops

now I gotta install to windows

right?

[final hazel]

Yes, as long as those folders are within GAMEDATA/MODS, then that is good

[thin shard]

what happens if they wasn't

[final hazel]

Then the mods are not read

From your screenshots, they seem to be in the correct place

[thin shard]

I'm good to go

I won't get in trouble for this right?

[final hazel]

You cannot, no.

Unless you start being able to harm other players' experience in unintended ways, like crashing their games or killing them in the anomaly or when they have PvP disabled or something

[thin shard]

I won't do that kind of thing

If I move the 2 figures and the trail elsewhere and put two more illegal infra-knife accelerators there (provided screenshots of course) that'll work won't it now that I got remove tech overload mod

[final hazel]

Yes, that will work

Adding more actual upgrades may be significantly more beneficial than the bobbleheads too

so you could remove them

[thin shard]

so remove the bobbleheads

and add the illegal infras

got it

the a-class is the actual platform

this is fine correct?

[lime mesa]

Hello everyone is it possible to load my PS5 game save on a computer mod my ship to make it much bigger and then use that modded ship on PS4?

[thin shard]

OOOOH BABY

[lime mesa]

@thin shard oh my God how do you get so much damage is that a mod or is that like legit?

[thin shard]

tis a mod my friend

I can do more but this is fine

[lime mesa]

Damage potential is only 200 and it takes like 50 years for my ship to turn

[thin shard]

not anymore 😄

[lime mesa]

I wish I knew how to mod I have the PC that I'll do it I just don't know how to transfer my saved data to my PC

Possible to mod my ship to make it bigger?

[thin shard]

You..can

have you uploaded your save

I'll shoot you a dm

[lime mesa]

How?

Sadly currently my ship

But I can't fit anything inside I'm at 100 parts I can't put no components whatsoever on the inside

[thin shard]

okay on steam deck it says overloaded but I have the mod installed on here and my steam deck 💔

and the mods are in gamedata/mods

wtf

[final hazel]

If you are referring to a large corvette, using many more modules than intended, then yes. Though you will not be able to make changes to it's structure on PS5 without reducing it's structural complexity back below 100

[final hazel]

Are you able to take a screenshot of the folder path that the mod is in?

[thin shard]

my 2 million dps gone down the drain so fast

yes oen sec

Steam deck

[lime mesa]

How do you lose your 2 million DPS?

[thin shard]

ikr 😭

[final hazel]

Take the folder inside of the Remove Technology Overload######## and place it in GAMEDATA/MODS

As I said before, you must make sure that the mods are not one folder too deep #nms-modding message

[thin shard]

my bad

then delete remove tech folder?

[lime mesa]

@final hazel but I can pilot it use it's internal tools n stuff? Change it's invatiry weapons just not anything in the edit ship thingies at a space station?

I want to make a star destroyer so bad but no not how to

[final hazel]

https://cloud.nomanssky.com/cross-save

[thin shard]

I dmmed them that

[final hazel]

Exactly, yes

[thin shard]

I need to make it look like this don't I

[final hazel]

There is also a corvette replacement service in the service bot now that may be more direct to use https://nomansapp.com/

with many colossal corvettes built by the community and submitted there

as always with freakishly complex corvettes, make sure to disable multiplayer when entering the space anomaly as not to crash peoples' games that are on weaker hardware

[thin shard]

sorted

[final hazel]

Yes, that looks correct

[thin shard]

k now let's try

2 million dps here I come 😁

[lime mesa]

@final hazel Corvette service what? I am so lost on how all this stuff works

[thin shard]

If I install 4 more illegal infra-knifes what would happen

[lime mesa]

So if I wanted to transfer my PS5 saved to my PC how would I do that?

[thin shard]

oooh yes

2.4 million

[lime mesa]

Oh my God I just loaded into that big Pokemon ball in space I am the only one on the server? They make it where you play alone now?

[final hazel]

On the NMS website, at https://cloud.nomanssky.com/cross-save

as I sent before

[lime mesa]

No activity there's no NPCs there's no players there's no player ships

[thin shard]

turn on your multiplayer

[lime mesa]

It is on

[final hazel]

What? I'm not sure what you are referring to

[thin shard]

I think they're in the anomaly

[final hazel]

are you referring to the Space Anomaly? It is always populated when MP is enabled

If it is not, that is a sign of multiplayer issues #nms-questions message

[lime mesa]

@final hazel arrived in the big sphere that you spawn in space and there's no players no player ships not even any NPCs I think it's glitched

[final hazel]

Please see #nms-questions message for multiplayer troubleshooting steps

[lime mesa]

@final hazel yeah except for there wasn't any NPCs either

[final hazel]

Oh, I'm not sure why that would be the case then. Can you send a screenshot/photo of this?

[lime mesa]

Have actually closed the game and gotten on my PC

[thin shard]

tbh grouch I'm doing this to hard flex on my brother

[final hazel]

The only time that the Travelers aboard the Space Anomaly would be missing would be in Abandoned Mode saves/Expedition 20: Breach/Expedition 13: Adrift

[lime mesa]

I've actually never done an expedition

[tall aurora]

Is there a mod that works to increase build height limit?

In trying to make a tower that goes into the upper atmosphere

[final hazel]

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

[empty trail]

Oh, nvm lol

I was gonna say maybe a glitch like the one used to make low orbit bases but like halfway so the base computer range touches the ground but also goes really high up

[empty trail]

I'm guessing this is still multiplayer friendly

[final hazel]

Idk!

Maybe

[empty trail]

Lol

[tall aurora]

Thanks!!

[thin shard]

What a great idea

[solid hawk]

All are MP "friendly" as NMS mods are LOCAL

[empty trail]

Figured

[empty trail]

Agreed I should do this sometime

[thin shard]

is there any other mods that would help me boost my dps all the way up

[final hazel]

This might kinda help technically https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2469

wich save editor is reccomended? or is ths the wrong place to ask

[final hazel]

Both of them mostly do the same things, I use the goatfungus one

[granite inlet]

i just get this when i run the bat like the readme says

[solid hawk]

Whichever you prefer. They both have plusses and minuses.

So I just got back on after a while how do I transfer my PS5 save to like a PC and do I use a save editor or do I have to physically download the game on PC, if I have to download the game what vendor do I use besides steam because I'm kind of banned from steam

[final hazel]

https://cloud.nomanssky.com/cross-save

You must download and open the game on PC

The game is available on GoG

Is there any way to increase the range for building shrunken objects in corvettes? I've noticed some people in the anomaly have little tiny scanning rooms on theirs hidden inside stuff to make it look nice, but I'm having trouble doing the same.

Unfortunately, I believe the only solution is for Hello Games to fix this issue, or to use the base building app or blender addon to place shrunken things far away from the origin https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2598 https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/984

Anyone got an egg of this guy they could drop me please? I’m on Xbox

[final hazel]

Yay I made my own stupid collection so people can stop asking me what mods I would recommend https://www.nexusmods.com/games/nomanssky/collections/ixxnzr

[obtuse wedge]

Hi ive seen many people talk about the nms base builder mod, can anyone tell me what it is and how to use it?

[solid hawk]

Info here and on the authors Discord, linked in the mod page description

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

[obtuse wedge]

Ok thx

[thin shard]

updating my game right now it won't affect the mods will it

[final hazel]

Most likely not, especially if they are mods that don't use any MBIN files

[thin shard]

it's just the ones I downloaded

from yesterday

[final hazel]

Those should be perfectly fine

They would probably work forever, though consumerism would wanna be updated/replaced to get future expedition rewards ofc

[thin shard]

yeah of course

so I'm fine either way

ty gunter

[empty trail]

To update consumerism do I just redownload it and replace the mod's folder with the new one?

For future reference

[cobalt condor]

When updating mods you should delete the old version and then install the new version

For Consumerism specifically, it shouldn't matter

[hearty wasp]

most mods on this server are kinda normal actually

[hearty wasp]

oops dude's gone

[polar tartan]

Yk how U always see people making massive corvette builds, how do they do that and which mods

[solid hawk]

There's a mod to increase part and complexity restriction. Then they build in-game or using the base builder app (linked a few messages above). Be aware, do NOT take a big corvette to the Nexus, can cause issues for other players.

[polar tartan]

ok, ty

[thin shard]

how do I update goatfungus

like would I need to manually do it or can it be automatically done

[empty trail]

where can i find the files for my corvettes so i can save them (the appearance, anyway) in the event i need to restore them

Does exporting the ship with goatfungus work for this?

[empty trail]

dawg 😭

i suppose it is vital

also goated mod pack can we pin this

and is there a way to download it without vortex

[quartz bronze]

Question about mods from a newbie NMS modder, do they work if I load into the regular game world or does it only work in like creative or something?

[empty trail]

mods should apply to the entire game regardless of gamemode

[final hazel]

They work with all of your saves, and don't disable anything

[empty trail]

grouch is there a way to download your collection without the vortex launcher (or manually downloading all the mods) 😢

[quartz bronze]

Oh sweet! Definitely some QOL mods I would like to get but was jsut worried it might mess with my save

[final hazel]

Unfortunately I don't think so :<

[empty trail]

zang

this will take a while then...

[final hazel]

I had to download vortex to make the thing which was already weird enough lol

[empty trail]

ive heard vortex kind of sucks which is why i dont want to get it

[empty trail]

maybe i will get vortex because this will be a tremendous pain to do manually

[final hazel]

Vortex is probably only valuable for the ability to just click a collection and then you have it (unless that's not how it works)

[empty trail]

yeah if im lucky i can just use it to get the collection and then uninstall vortex

exctept ig i have to download windows runtime 6.0 dotnet or something for vortex

bruh

[empty trail]

@final hazel what version did you make this in (and will my computer explode)

[final hazel]

Version from yesterday, it shouldn't matter

[empty trail]

alr

cool

are we fr rn

so i still basically have to download them all manually

[final hazel]

💥

[empty trail]

hmmm

i think i have a free premium trial

but i have to give them m credit card

i hate you nexus mods!!!

[final hazel]

6 million hoops and hurdles

[empty trail]

just let me get my qol 😭

imagine if they added steam workshop support i would be overjoyed

[final hazel]

the game's modding system feels like it was built with that in mind

everything would be objectively better maybe

[empty trail]

at least it would be free and fast

[final hazel]

i would be willing to work in a dystopian company town if it was a valve town

[empty trail]

alr at least its somewhat automatic

it just takes me to the website, i click slow download, wait 5 seconds, it asks me to open vortex, then vortex moves to the next mod, and on it goes

FINALLY

got all the mods from your pack i wanted installed

thats how long it took

dont need vortex anymore

[harsh ridge]

hey guys

with goatfungus save editor can I increase the damage stat for ships past 1000.0

ping me if you have an answer

i'll be in another tab

idk if its supposed to be in questions

sorry

[thin shard]

I don't use vortex tbh

[empty trail]

I only did so I could download grouch's mods faster than manually one by one by one with files but it's miserable without premium

[thin shard]

I'm more then happy to not use premium

I can wait

[empty trail]

Yeah

It works

It just only took 10 minutes instead of 25

[thin shard]

for me it doesn't take 10 minutes

[empty trail]

To do what

[thin shard]

To download something from nexus

[empty trail]

Ok

But what about 50 mods

That's what I was using vortex for

[thin shard]

I'm not going to dowenload 50 mods lol

I've not had to wait for that long

[empty trail]

It was probably more like 30-40

[empty trail]

From grouch's pack up here full of very nice QoL mods

Do recommend

But with vortex it took like 10 minutes

[thin shard]

I used vortex before but not for that many mods, tbh I would download min 10 mods

[empty trail]

Actually probably more like 20

They're all like little QoL things

can i save a corvette by exporting it with goatfungus (if i need to restore it later i can just import it..?)

[final hazel]

I think goatfungus just exports the ship data, not the base data

you'd have to find out which base is the corvette's base in BaseContext > PlayerStateData > PersistentPlayerBases

it's UserData would align with the ship slot it's in

[empty trail]

so if the game reset my corvette's appearance, i could just paste the base data back into that slot?

[solid hawk]

Best not, as would show favoritism.

[empty trail]

fair enough

[final hazel]

Kinda, yeah

[empty trail]

is there a definitely yeah way to save a corvette so i can restore it later if the game craps on me again

[final hazel]

Yeah, by just copying the base data (or even just the object data) somewhere, and later pasting it over where it still is when you wanna go back to how it was

[empty trail]

ok cool, thanks!

also

why is it not saving when i add supercharged slots to my minotaur via goatfungus

the ones i added disappear

does it not work for exocraft

[vale iron]

Exocraft need to use a mod, not save editor

[empty trail]

dang

[vale iron]

supercharge slots work differently on different types of items

some require save editor, some require mod

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2558

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3834

[empty trail]

very nice

thank you my friend

which one do i use tho

[vale iron]

One is for exosuit, the other is for exocraft

[empty trail]

oh

i cant read lol

🙏

[vale iron]

I should update the image on the exosuit one anyway

[empty trail]

can i make this apply to only the minotaur

i dont want all my exocraft to be super op

[vale iron]

You can edit the EXML

[empty trail]

alr

[vale iron]

I don't have time right now to do it

minotaur is MECH in the files, so just delete any tree that isn't mech

[empty trail]

so it should read as follows?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--File created using MBINCompiler version (6.06.0.1)-->
<!--EXML Created by AMUMSS v.5.5.0.0w-->

<Property name="SpecialSlots" value="GcInventorySpecialSlot">
              <Property name="Type" value="GcInventorySpecialSlotType">
                <Property name="InventorySpecialSlotType" value="TechBonus" />
              </Property>
              <Property name="Index" value="GcInventoryIndex">

          </Property>
        </Property>
      </Property>
    </Property>
  </Property>
</Data>

hmmm i feel like there are too many property tags at the end i dont wanna mess up the branches

nvm

i used an online xml editor so i could collapse all the trees and edit it easier

[vale iron]

Yeah, that was missing some of the headers

got it fixed?

[empty trail]

yep!

it works!

[vale iron]

cool

[empty trail]

thanks for your help :D

[vale iron]

No problem

[empty trail]

goated mod dev fr

i am now 80% of the way towards owning a gundam

just need all the liquidator parts

live in fear

well, i saved my corvettes, so thats good, but my one corvette got scrambled AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa

at least the other tech gives me a hint of where to shove evertyhing

wait

the actual tech got scrambled too...?

[empty trail]

2 questions:

1. Is there a mod that improves the minotaur AI? (Like making it smarter or fight smarter or whatever.. if that's a thing)

2. Is there a mod that disables tech overload but just for the minotaur (or can I edit an existing no tech overload mod to only apply to the minotaur)?

[hearty wasp]

1. can't 2. I think you should be able to but you'll have to do it yourself

you can just open the exml file and yeet any sections not responsible for the mech

or control the buttons you press in game, whichever's easier

[empty trail]

Cool.. thanks >:)

[vale iron]

Tech overload is a single global line. Can't customize it

[solid hawk]

Just an integer value

Applies to all.

[fathom holly]

I used the service bot to build a corvette for me. It had a little trade terminal and teleporter. Is that created through a mod or a type of building glitch ?

[hard widget]

do you have similar mods for multitool and starships?

[shy grove]

No mods. Best to ask on their Discord

#nms-lfg-or-trades

This is the wrong channel for that

[vale iron]

Multitools and Ships needs to be done in save editor. A mod for those wouldn't affect already obtained multitools and ships, so it's not worth it.

It's easy to do in save editor, though

[hard widget]

lovely fam, thanks alot

[turbid badge]

Can your manoeuvrability be TOO high?
I use a mod that eleviates/removes tech overload and it allowed me to eventually bring my manoeuvrability up to 12.320
But now every time I try to turn at high speed my corvette completely spazzes out

[fresh arch]

Yup

The flight model wasn't designed to work with such high values

Drop to couple thousands max

[turbid badge]

I lowered it to 7926 but it still does it, what do you think would be a good cutoff point?

[vale iron]

3000 tops

[turbid badge]

Guess I'll have some spare pulse engine modules for other ships

Thanks everyone, it sorted itself out at 5.000, so I'll remember not to go beyond that from now on

[vale iron]

It will vary depending on your ship's base maneuverability

[turbid badge]

I don't remember what its base was

[fierce falcon]

How would I get the starborn phoenix unlocked via a save editor so I can claim it in the anomaly? What would I need to paste into ‘knownspecials’

[vale iron]

I just mean that's not a foolproof guide. You'll need to experiment. Or just use something like 2k and be happy 😛

There are diminishing returns, so it's not much difference

[vale iron]

Don't mess with the JSON. Go offline, go to the account tab and select the Phoenix as owned, save, load game, claim Phoenix, save, go back online

Messing with the JSON is one of the only ways to brick your save in this game

[fresh arch]

Or use mods like Consumerism or various emote unlocker mods by Babscoole

But yeah don't go diggin around in json

[fierce falcon]

Oh ok, I tried using the account tab but it’s greyed out on Goatfungus

[turbid badge]

Emote unlocker sounds like the method with the least hassle

[vale iron]

I prefer the mod method, yeah

[fresh arch]

It is, that's is if it's working with current game version

Consumerism is a bit more robust in that aspect

[turbid badge]

It does

[vale iron]

Maybe the author greyed it out because it gets cleared on a server check? I don't know.

He might have gotten tired of all the "why can't I claim the Phoenix or Twitch rewards?" messages, understandably

[fierce falcon]

Ah ok, so is there a way to add it to knownspecials I just don’t know what the ID is to put there

[vale iron]

Something like TGA_RACER, but I don't know the exact tag.

[fierce falcon]

Ok, is there any alternative way to find out? Like if I had the ship already just wanted it to be claimable

[final hazel]

Just import the file for it

#nms-modding message

[fierce falcon]

Ok where would I find the ID in that file?

[vale iron]

WRACERSE it looks like

[fresh arch]

Right the runner was wracer

[fresh arch]

You don't, just import it to your ship collection

Really stop messing around with json, use other methods to get the ship

Methods less prone to user bricking up their save data

[fierce falcon]

Would it brick it up just by adding that into JSON?

I appreciate the warning didn’t know it was dangerous

[magic lava]

It can be, a good rule of thumb is to backup your saves before messing with them

[vale iron]

This particular thing isn't that dangerous. You'll probably just forget a comma or add an extra one, but I try to keep people out of the JSON when at all possible

The only time in 5 or 6 years that I've been making mods that I bricked a save was messing with something that put bad data in the JSON

[fierce falcon]

Ok if I wanted to test editing JSON should I use a new save that I can just delete? Or would it affect my account?

[keen mica]

Is there no mod for auto-sorting inventories?

[empty trail]

dang.... this is devastating news for my gundam supermech 😔

[vale iron]

Literally unplayable

[solid hawk]

There is none, nor can there be

[empty trail]

Im gonna have to quit the game now

[keen mica]

Aw 🙁 So you already know there's no method for accessing where things go in inventory?

[empty trail]

There are sort buttons on the sides of the inventory but I don't know of any mods that do it automatically either

[solid hawk]

Mods cannot make direct changes to save data, no access to the save files.

Save is where your inventory is stored.

[keen mica]

Ok, thank you very much 🥲

[safe turret]

Guys if i add mods to i still have my vaila saves and when new updates or expeditions release do i get em immediately

[final hazel]

Yes, mods do not affect update downloading or your ability to access all of your saves

[safe turret]

So i can add mods and still have my main save on both modded and vanila

And is it like a separate server like with elden ring or is it part of main like in Minecraft

[final hazel]

Yes, there are no exclusions between "modded saves" and "vanilla saves", mods can't even change anything about saves or how they work

[final hazel]

Oh, MP is fully uninhibited #nms-modding message

[safe turret]

And the only difference is 1 has extra content and other doesn't and like ok i get stuff in modded and open same save in vanilla does it just remove my modded items or...

[final hazel]

There is no "extra content" added by mods that permanently affects saves, if items/baseobjects are present that don't normally exist then they are purged

[safe turret]

I just want to be cautious cuz i dont want to fuck up my main save thats like super goated

[final hazel]

There's really no mods that do this

[safe turret]

But are most mods just qol or is it that adds extra content to the game

[final hazel]

define "content"

mods cannot add new functionality that does not already exist in the vanilla game

[safe turret]

Ok like with mc mods add like new dimensions and ece so im wondering if this also has it

[final hazel]

there are not mods like this for No Man's Sky, no

[safe turret]

Aw man cuz i feel like nms would be a 10/10 game just that there most of times isint much to do especially in end game

Alr thx so much for the help

[dire pendant]

I have a question regarding save editors. I've seen talk of goatfungus and nomnom. What is the best choice in general. One of those or something else?

[empty trail]

Not sure there's a best option, depends on what you're going for, but goatfungus is a good start and is very well known. So is nom nom tho I don't know much about that one (might have more features than goatfungus)

Also

Is there anything that changes the size of the minotaur...?

[solid hawk]

There is no endgame in NMS

[south orbit]

End game is when u have no more ideas what to do.

[empty trail]

Make a drug empire

Always a good passtime

[dire pendant]

Endgame is making super bases and detailed corvettes

Fashion things

Next question. Goatfungus seems to be for worlds. Isn't the current version breach? I got the game about 3 weeks ago so I have no clue

[final hazel]

The current version of NMSSE works with the current version of the game

it's just lacking functionality support for corvettes or any of the new item listings, but that doesn't break anything for the most part

[dire pendant]

Sweet

[empty trail]

can i modify the beyond base building mod xml file to let me place exocraft geobays on freighters and corvettes? if so, where in the file is that/what do i look for?

unless its already enabled

[final hazel]

You can just build it using the lua and amumss

it givers an optipon ofr that that way

[empty trail]

how does one do that 😨

do i just open the .lua file in notepad

[final hazel]

modifying the lua shouldn't be necessary

[final hazel]

just download amumss https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/957, place BBB lua in modscript folder, then open buildmod.bat

[empty trail]

i found the setting tho

[final hazel]

yes, when running it through amumss it comes up as a popup

[empty trail]

ok

[final hazel]

just do as i said, and it'll run through a few popups for things like that

[empty trail]

ok

do i install this like any other mod or do i follow the steps in the txt file

[final hazel]

once the mod is built, just use it like any other mod

[empty trail]

so extract all to No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA\MODS

[final hazel]

no extracting needed for the mod after it's built using amumss

[empty trail]

hold on

i shoudl specify

[empty trail]

do i install anumss like any other mod by extracting all to No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA\MODS

[final hazel]

oh, amumss is not a mod

amumss is a program

a program used to build mods from lua scripts, using your current install's game files

with some luas having options that appear while building to customize it easily

[empty trail]

so i should make a new folder on my pc and extract anumss to it

the zip from nexus mods

[final hazel]

pretty much yeah, I believe it advises you to extract to C

[empty trail]

"Always de-compress/un-zip in a new folder on any drive like X:\AMUMSS (OR in the previous folder)
xxxxx NEVER in any system folder (Note: the Desktop, Downloads, Documents are system folders) xxxxx"

so ig

just C:\

maybe make a folder in C:\ for anumss

oh

do i need to go to the github and download it from there

[final hazel]

the nexusmods download should be fine

[empty trail]

i extracted it to C:\ANUMSS and it just put the txt file in there 😢

maybe i selected the wrong file on nexus

no there is only one file

[final hazel]

ohhhh I see

yeah, github is needed now

[empty trail]

iyts just the guide

[empty trail]

alr\

always a bit wary of giving things antivirus exceptions but im sure its fine :D

man all this to make it so i can place geobays on freighters and corvettes 😭

so then i run buildmod.bat once its done

ok i did that in lean mode and told them my game was experimental because it said i previously reported that

uh now what

[final hazel]

it should start building the mod, and ask you for what options you wanna choose

as long as you placed the BBB lua in the modscript folder

[empty trail]

it did some stuff then told me to press any key to close the window

ok yeah so i should do that

should i copy created mod files

[final hazel]

If you selected to copy the mod folders to GAMEDATA/MODS, you should need to do nothing

[empty trail]

ok

[final hazel]

it should just be there now

[empty trail]

yay it worked

do i remove the lua from modscripts

[final hazel]

you can, or you can keep it there for later

[empty trail]

ok

thanks for your help :>

time to go make a minotaur drop station on my freighter... (after i fix the colors.....)

is there anything in this mod that lets you build them on corvettes?

geobays i mean

oh nah i can just build them

[final hazel]

bbb should enable both yeah

[civic tree]

Does anyone know if a mod exists that lets us use the terrain manipulator on bedrock?

[final hazel]

This is not something that is possible in No Man's Sky, regardless of mods.

The bedrock does not follow the voxel terrain system, it fundamentally cannot be made to be broken

[civic tree]

Damn. Oh well. Ty

[empty trail]

with the faster build cam mod is there anyway to like

slow down

and not go 6 octillion miles per hour

or

better build cam

or whatever it is in your modpack grouch

[final hazel]

Oh, good question idk

I haven't actually used it a lot, I might remove it in that case

I mainly use the freecam part of it

and haven't built a planetary base in a little bit

you could reduce these values probably

ooo yeah that is fast

I may change it manually, as I used to just use "free camera for build and photo" but now build camera uses different properties from photomode

that just doubled it, the new one seems to like quintuple it

may make a patch specifically for the collection or smth

[empty trail]

Yeah it's very fast I'll probably turn it down

But the mod also makes it so picking things up doesn't reset their rotations and stuff (or so I think) which is definitely a plus

[empty trail]

can i using goatfungus edit the data of one of my bases to remove this stupid com ball i put there

[final hazel]

added this to the collection and changed some other stuff since I can aparrently just change files as I please (I think) (I hope itworked)

[final hazel]

I believe com balls are never a part of bases, so idk

[empty trail]

😭

not even a mod that lets us delete them?

or some record in the save file that we placed it?

[final hazel]

I think you could place one somewhere else on the same planet and give it a message to get rid of the old one, not fully sure

[vale iron]

Comm balls are uploaded to the discovery server. You can place another as Grouch says. If you want to hide it, you can use ggui clean multiplayer mod. I might need to update it though

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1906

[final hazel]

fixed my stupid collection due to learning how binary patching works, tweaked some mods easily and some in the most janky manner imagineable (commenting out their EXMLs and adding MBINs)
https://www.nexusmods.com/games/nomanssky/collections/ixxnzr

Since you can't just remove files entirely I had to resort to commenting out EXMLs and replacing MBINs with vanilla MBINs which feels awful but it makes everything work how I actually use it

[thin shard]

save editing living ship organ chamber and need a layout that'll give spewing vents and gradted eyes more power

because I'm scrapping corvette

got my starborn runner to go to 14 mil

this is okay right?

nvm it's fine

[vale iron]

You can delete files. I had to do that for one that was packaged with multiple options

If the mod folder has had files deleted, setting it to binary will preserve the missing file being missing

[final hazel]

Yeah, but it warned me saying files were missing so the patches couldn't be uploaded

[vale iron]

Pretty sure it just warned me and I was able to tell it to do it anyway

[final hazel]

same for adding files, the added files just weren't registered/uploaded

tried to replace an exml with an mbin but nope, had to do the janky replace the entire thing with an exml like a crazy person

whatever it all is, the collection does what I wanted

the only sacrifices were the emotemenu, which was going to happen since that's what I wanted to mbin, and some random space station file

I added a compatibility note that additional mods that add to the gesture menu will most likely require changing the exml to remove _overwrite

[vale iron]

Why are you doing that? I thought all of us that use the emote menu use EXML to make it interoperable

[final hazel]

Yes, but that makes it so it's ordered really weird

but fully overwritten it gets the desired order because having all the new stuff before vanilla stuff is extremely annoying when they're not functionally useful

[vale iron]

Ok, and breaks with most updates and possibly with other mods

[final hazel]

maybe, but I used an mbin of a gesture mod for ages and it was fine through updates

I just wish reordering it as an exml/appending new stuff to the beginning was possible

it's a collection patch, not an actual mod intended to be mixed and matched

with a note describing how to make it work like a normal exml, besides including all the vanilla entries too

it's either this or put a bunch of wacky entries jumbled in front of the default gestures, which isn't very vanilla-friendly

[final hazel]

I'll fix it if/when it breaks obviously, the collection is just "what I use" and I already have a folder of the special different things to update/replace

[pale crypt]

How often do NMS updates break mods? I'm interested in the buildable Corvette landing pad and some freighter customizations

[vale iron]

Depends on the type. EXML mods survive pretty well. MBIN mods break pretty often

[rustic ledge]

Installed, works Like a Charme. HG should Just add the mod Files to fix that Bug

[thin shard]

I tried modding in more q-resonators for infra-knife but it didn't really do much but I modded in more illegal infra-knife upgrades and that does more tbh I'm aiming for more fire rate

[thin shard]

If I put 4 more illegal infra-knife accelerator upgrade mods in those I should be fine right?

Current damage 14 mil

or should I put them in the blanks here

I will work more on things like multitools and such

[vale iron]

As long as you have a technology overload mod as well

[thin shard]

yeah I got that and another one

I forgot

[hidden gull]

I accidentally deleted my main save a few weeks ago. 500+ hours, 100% the game and fluent in languages. All gone, all backup methods failed; even NomNom's). I've made peace with the fact that my main save is gone and I'll have to start over, but every new game I've started it won't give me the Atlas Path quest. I've gone back through the main story on 2 normal mode saves now, and the atlas path quest never triggers. Without it I won't be able to get the Atlantid Drive working again. Any suggestions on how to fix that?
-# I've deleted all of my catalogue progress, so the seeds you'd get through that questline are also locked. Travelling to the atlas did not trigger it. Talking to Polo did not trigger it. Travelling to a new galaxy through The Purge didn't trigger it, nor did journeying through the center.

I think the NMS gods heard me just now cuz I started mashing buttons in NomNom and fixed something so ignore this message and laugh at my slowness

[vale iron]

If things aren't sorted let us know

We'll try to help

[silk hollow]

Hi! My game stopped recognizing mod. How to fix?

[final hazel]

There's a troubleshooting guide here: http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

[silk hollow]

I used more visible corvette effects, cause my hoppers not worked at all.

[silk hollow]

Thank you, checking

Yep, worked now.

[empty trail]

Oh yeah is that a mod that makes all the landing gear and propellers on a Corvette actually turn on when landing

[silk hollow]

Yeah, this one. Can't accept when only half of my hoppers are hoppering

[austere void]

is there a mod that shows base stats of starships/multitools in the compare screen?

[fresh arch]

Nope and it prolly can't exist

Mods can't add new functionality to the game plus good luck getting any new info displayed in UI elements

[empty trail]

actually does rthe better build camera mod which gives build cam effectively infinite range just let me make a low orbit base by flying up really high and placing a base computer in free placement?

[final hazel]

Pretty much, yeah

[empty trail]

oh nice

:)

[final hazel]

Just make sure you're placing an unclaimed computer and not one that's a part of an existing base, as that then may become unreachable

[empty trail]

ofc ofc

this would probably be my first and only base compiter on the planet

well until i placed it anyway

[empty trail]

oh yes... this is very nice

[orchid dawn]

Is there a way to get mods on steam deck 🙏

[orchid dawn]

Save editors can just give some of the expedition parts right cuz im tryna get aeon parts

[empty trail]

mod that makes you immune to the irs

[final hazel]

The ones I clicked on here https://www.nexusmods.com/games/nomanssky/collections/ixxnzr

Plus the other 1,161 mods that were last updated afterJanuary 29th 2025

[final hazel]

They could, though I'm not sure if they have the new IDs in them yet to easily just put in the inventory, you could just use consumerism+communism to buy one of each module, then set their stack sizes to 50 or maybe even just copy them around the inventory

[solid hawk]

Go here. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/newrecently Most mods updated since 29 Jan 2025, as Grouch alluded to, should be working. Mod selection is highly subjective with NMS. There's no MUST HAVE mods. A mod I like, you may hate, and vice versa. All dependent on how you play and what you want to see changed. Don't be a lemming and let someone else tell you how to play, look through and decide for yourself. 🙂

The above being said, if you have more specific requests, example: "What mods change sky colors?", then could point you in the direction of what's available.

[vale iron]

Here are my selections for things that make the game better without changing difficulty and should survive updates
https://www.nexusmods.com/games/nomanssky/collections/7qowkp

But like Babscoole said, very subjective

[fierce falcon]

Does anyone know how to fix new saves from having all slots be SC?

I made some of my ships and tools on my main save have all their slots be supercharged but now whenever I make a new save my tool and exosuit is completely SC, is there a way I can fix this from happening?

[vale iron]

That sounds like you have a mod installed that does that, probably mine. You need to uninstall the mod for the multitools. For the suit, to undo it you have to use a save editor. It's described on the mod page in a few different places:
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2558

[fierce falcon]

But I don’t have a mod, I play on Xbox and use my Mac to save edit

[vale iron]

Save editing only affects the save you are editing. It wouldn't change new saves

[fierce falcon]

So how does any new save I make now have sc slots installed on my entire exosuit and tool

[vale iron]

I have no idea, because that's not how the game files work. Without a mod, new saves are generated based on a list of supercharge slots in the files

I'm not saying it isn't happening to you, but I have no idea how it could either

[fierce falcon]

Could it have anything to do with me trying to duplicate a save?

[vale iron]

I mean if the save you're copying has it, then obviously the copy will have it, too

[fierce falcon]

Yeh but the duplicate didn’t work it just conflicted with the existing save, so instead I deleted that and just made a new save but that had my exosuit and tool with all slots SC

then I deleted it and tried to make a new normal save and it was the same thing

[vale iron]

Yeah, I don't think that would be related, but I can't say for sure

[fierce falcon]

I might try removing the SC slots and see if that fixes it, I’m using goatfungus if that helps

[fierce falcon]

@vale iron seems I might be experiencing this, says they fixed it by disabling.

One person said that they found that every new save will inherit the previous saves SS layout so maybe that’s the problem

https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/4625855174854907330/

[cobalt condor]

Seen the same issue reported here before as well

!hg

[hardy aurora]

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

[fierce falcon]

Not sure this would be an issue for zendesk given its related to save editing

[cobalt condor]

Still a bug that effects vanilla, from what I'm reading your starting ship and tool will also be mirroring the supercharged slot layout of whatever you had on your most recent save.

It means if someone finds an 'ideal' layout they'll be getting it on all their new saves when it should be random or pulled from the default save data

[vale iron]

That's really strange; I hadn't heard of that before

[thin shard]

what's the max quicksilver I can mod in via goatfungus

[fresh arch]

Prolly the same amount as unit cap, around 4.3 billion

It would make sense to have currency use an unsigned integer type

But then again it's HG we're talking about

[thin shard]

Hmm I see

[valid osprey]

Is there a mod that gives infinite currency?

[fresh arch]

No because there is no computer capable of handling infinite data

And no because you can just set free purchases in difficulty settings

No need to duplicate vanilla game functionality

[hidden gull]

I'm not sure what I did that fixed it, but when I went back to NMS that day the Atlas Path quest was finally in my log; I appreciate the offer! I'll def be back in here if I mess it up 🤣
-# here's to hoping I never accidentally delete a save again

[final hazel]

nice

also yay I learned optional mods exist

[dire ferry]

Anyone had troubles enabling mods these days? There was no disablemods.txt file in my folder, I created the MODS folder, but the mod inside, but no warning appears about mods and the mod itself is not getting enabled I think. 🙁

[final hazel]

Did you follow the troubleshooting steps in http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550?

Note that DISABLEMODS.txt has not been present since January 29th 2025

and that the MODS folder now goes inside of GAMEDATA, not PCBANKS

and that mods in the form of pak files do not work with the modern game, all mods are now in the form of unzipped folders that are placed inside of GAMEDATA/MODS

the new version of disablemods.txt is No Man's Sky\Binaries\SETTINGS\GCMODSETTINGS.MXML

deleting it is advised when any mod disabling issues occur so that the game rebuilds it with defaults, including every mod being enabled and DisableAllMods being set to false

[dire ferry]

"No mods last updated before 29.January.2025 will work with NMS 5.50+" holy... okay. so a last updated mond in 2019 probably wont work? Then anyone has a mod to disable the hud warning effects? it's getting on my nerves and I can't see a damn thing because of the weather effects either on some planets, so I probably need to remove weather effects too

[final hazel]

You can reduce the weather effects in-game now using a setting, down to 35% at the very least

I think this is what you're looking for though https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2115

[dire ferry]

this is exactly! thank you :3

[dire ferry]

"Delete the Binaries\SETTINGS\GCMODSETTINGS.MXML file. When you launch NMS again, it will recreate the file." do we need to delete each time we start the game?

[final hazel]

This is only necessary when mods automatically disable themselves after a crash

[dire ferry]

oh okay

[solid hawk]

Not probably, definately. No mod made or last updated prior to 29 January will work. This is 100% certain.

[round sinew]

@gloomy dagger see https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2062

[gloomy dagger]

jesus christ its morning ive been playing 7 hours 😭
tysm! ill take Consumerism

[round sinew]

maybe leave this for later, after a good rest 🙂

[gloomy dagger]

last sec
because im not familiar with nms modding
do I need launcher? or its a script lua?

[round sinew]

much easier, no need for luas or compiling your own atm. see <#nms-modding message>

[gloomy dagger]

thats easy
thank you BK!

[pearl fiber]

would this pose an issue for players at the anomaly?

its a corvette with freighter base pieces lol

[final hazel]

probably not, the bigger issue is object count I believe

[thin shard]

remember to call the folder MODS and drop your mods in there

[thin shard]

I had a look at a corvette mod where there was also a corvette dock

[pearl fiber]

well thats the thing actually, wouldnt this theoretically be less individual objects than a corvette of the same size, since the pieces are all so massive?

[final hazel]

got bored and created something normally impossible lol

[thin shard]

I want to make the perfect paradise planet..tell me how

I might make that a base

[final hazel]

just go find one using coordinates

[thin shard]

sigh okaty

-okay

[final hazel]

what would you consider "perfect"?

[thin shard]

nothing hostile

And no stupid tempreature changes

[final hazel]

That's nearly every paradise planet

"Paradise Planet" is given to all lush worlds that have no storms and low sentinel activity

[thin shard]

I think I have one saved I forgot I'll check after

[final hazel]

I could send these for hours lol

[naive sapphire]

im having some issues with a technology overload mod, for some reason i tried to build something and it crashed my game i dont remember what the error was but when i logged back on and tried to boost around i realized that my booster wasnt as good as it should be and everything i used like idk if this will make sense but like the technology overload mod wont work anymore i uninstalled all my mods and reinstalled them and its not working but all my other mods do, ive tried everything and nothing is fixing it i cant use more than 3 different technology when not even a hour ago i was able to use as many as i wanted too

this is the mod ive been using https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3294?tab=files

[shy grove]

When @vale iron is around, he may have some insight or ideas to help troubleshoot

[naive sapphire]

okay thanks

ill play war thunder in the meantime lol

[final hazel]

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

oh wait, all of your other mods still work?

[naive sapphire]

yes they do also i dont have the game installed right now it made me mad when that happened so i uninstalled it but im installing it right now😅

[orchid dawn]

how do i even mod should i just add a folder named mods in the st_ random number thing

[naive sapphire]

go to steam right click the game then go to manage then go to browse local files then go to gamedata and make a folder called MODS then put ur mod files in the mods folder

[orchid dawn]

thanks

[naive sapphire]

idk if there are any better sites to get mods but this is the one i use https://www.nexusmods.com/games/nomanssky/mods?sort=createdAt

[final hazel]

A more detailed mod installation guide can be found at http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

[orchid dawn]

oh yea i got that part im just downloading them rn

[naive sapphire]

so what should i do when i have the game reinstalled should i delete what u told me to delete or what..?

[final hazel]

Possibly, not sure if your mod folders will still be there, check if they are first

[naive sapphire]

they are everything is still there

even a binary i put in there is still there

[final hazel]

Can you send a screenshot of the inside of your mods folder?

[naive sapphire]

binarie*

[naive sapphire]

ofc

[final hazel]

That looks like it should all work, try deleting No Man's Sky\Binaries\SETTINGS\GCMODSETTINGS.MXML and opening the game to see if the mod works

[naive sapphire]

should i wait to do that until it finishes installing or not? idk if ittl add the file back or what

[final hazel]

Oh, just wait until it finishes installing

[naive sapphire]

yea i uninstalled it when i was having the issue it made me pretty mad lol..

[vale iron]

I'm not aware of anything that selectively disables mods automatically. It's either all or nothing. If you crashed while mods were installed, it would have prompted you to disable all mods when you started the game again

[naive sapphire]

i belive it said something about some mods not being compatable with eachother or something along the lines of that when it crashed i dont remember exactly what it said but it didnt just close the game it gave me a error then i clicked ok then it closed the game, if that makes sense

[naive sapphire]

it didnt it just started how it normally does like with the mod warning and stuff

[vale iron]

That warning message just happens whenever there is a crash while mods are installed. It doesn't mean there is actually a problem with the mods

The game can't tell what exactlycaused the crash

[naive sapphire]

ahhh okay

[naive sapphire]

its almost done installing so ill see what happens when i do this i guess

[vale iron]

But yeah your MODS folder looks right, only thing I would suggest is deleting gcmodsettings, as Grouch said

[naive sapphire]

it worked i guess

deleting that file or idk if uninstalling it or reinstalling it did it but one or the other worked

thanks guys🙃

my game is extremly laggy now tho.. ive never had a problem with lag

[vale iron]

Awesome

Did you alt+tab? That can cause it

[naive sapphire]

yes im alt tabbing between here and the game lol..

[vale iron]

alt+tab seems to be a bane of most Vulkan games

If you get major lag after alt+tab, toggle windowed mode usually fixes it (alt+enter two times)

[naive sapphire]

lmfaooooo alright thanks bud i appreciate it

[gloomy dagger]

Just woke up 4 hours now
Literally minecraft method
Thank²

[orchid dawn]

anyone know a mod for corvette glass floors and walls, also for big wide rooms

i saw one build on tiktok and they siad they used mods for it but didnt say which ones

[thin shard]

you know when you're like asleep yeah, you do this thing called waking up it's the maddest thing since sliced bread

[orchid dawn]

like a mod for using house blocks in a corvette

i can send a link for the vid

[final hazel]

They probably used Beyond Base Building to build planetary things on a corvette https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1096

[orchid dawn]

alright ill try that out thanks

[gloomy dagger]

You are not gonna believe what I just eat

[thin shard]

A house?

[gloomy dagger]

Bread👍

[thin shard]

Oh so a horse with some vitamin a

Got it

[gloomy dagger]

Ehh close

[twin monolith]

Just needs some help. Using the save file editor i am unable to find corvette parts to add like the titan cockpit

[frozen condor]

hey is there the big star wars ship ive been seeing how do i get it can someone help heard it was a mod

[marsh eagle]

https://youtu.be/uyk9_5vWLQc

[naive sapphire]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3294 https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3437

@whole kestrel first one is for the tech overload it explains the mod and the second is for bshop to sell only s class

they both work as of now

[naive sapphire]

hello nice to see you here, i re subscribed to patron lol

[final hazel]

All platforms that match in save versions (parenthesis number) will be able to play with each other through crossplay and load saves back and forth with cross-play

[whole kestrel]

@naive sapphire what does this do

[final hazel]

That will raise the technology overload limit from 3 to 10

[turbid badge]

How hard is it to update someone else's mod?

[final hazel]

Somewhat, depends on a lot of factors

what mod is it?

[whole kestrel]

i have mods downloaded but they appear to not be ingame?

[final hazel]

Did you get the mod warning when launching the game?

[whole kestrel]

i did

[final hazel]

Can you send a screenshot of your mod folder?

[final hazel]

First one is a folder too deep

take the folder inside of it and place it into GAMEDATA/MODS

[whole kestrel]

do i put this folder inside ?

[final hazel]

also note that the mods folder is GAMEDATA/MODS, not GAMEDATA/PCBANKS/MODS

[final hazel]

Yes, just drag that a folder up

[turbid badge]

Bigger silos (Supply depot) by MusicManiacSK.
It hasn't been updated in 3 years.
One of the comments fro last Sept says there's a Lua file that should still work but I dunno

[final hazel]

The lua file probably still works, I could build it for you if you don't have AMUMSS set up

[whole kestrel]

like this? also the other mod doesnt work too

[final hazel]

Can you show the path that these are all in, right above that?

[turbid badge]

Reading the other conversation I checked my PCBANKS folder and it too has a Mods folder.
And guess what mod is inside

[final hazel]

That should be correct then, try deleting No Man's Sky\Binaries\SETTINGS\GCMODSETTINGS.MXML

[whole kestrel]

im retrying now

they work, but now every slot is full

[final hazel]

Yes, this is a byproduct of how the technology operates on a corvette

all of them are considered upgrades, and the only thing preventing the game from placing >3 of each is the overload limit

[whole kestrel]

how do i fix this?

eh.

ima just not use the overload mod

[final hazel]

Probably by using a mod that expands the tech inventory even further

[final hazel]

Yes, the PCBANKS/MODS folder is not read anymore. I built the mod, it didn't produce any errors/warnings so maybe it worked

[whole kestrel]

you know any mods that do that?

[final hazel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3782

[whole kestrel]

thank you boss

@final hazel like this?

[final hazel]

Yes, that should work

[whole kestrel]

ugh my tummy hurts

still need to mod tho

i need mods rn

[turbid badge]

I tried setting up AMUMMS myself at first,
But it was a bit too overwhelming so I figured it was better if I didn't fuck about with something I clearly didn't understand.

But this worked

[whole kestrel]

the expanded mod isnt big enough

[final hazel]

At that point try this one instead

wait nvm

trying to find the right mod

[whole kestrel]

ive got 17 minutes

16*

[final hazel]

Try this https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3854, though it removes all corvette-specific tech

[whole kestrel]

there is corvette exclusive?

[final hazel]

Yes, all of the habs and stuff in yours currently

you could just use this variant of it to solely remove habs from the tech inventory

[final hazel]

Also, it doesn't seem like you even added the extra 2 rows at the Starship Outfitting Terminal

[whole kestrel]

i download stuff so fast that i opened the game before you sent the message

[naive sapphire]

do the one all the way at the bottom so you can do unlimited modules

lets just restart

[whole kestrel]

Its all fixed now

[naive sapphire]

okay good

its working?

[whole kestrel]

I got 7k manouv

[naive sapphire]

lmfaoooooo nice

[whole kestrel]

~3-4k warp dis

And like 500 shield

[naive sapphire]

the bshop one is working?

or did you not use that one

[whole kestrel]

Which one was that?

[naive sapphire]

the one where the shop sells only s class

[whole kestrel]

I use ot

Added extra mods too

To remove the Habs and stuff from my inv

And expanded it to be way larger

[naive sapphire]

nice have fun theres alot of cool mods on there, there are also some really good performance mods on there too like shaders etc etc

[whole kestrel]

I need fps booster rn

[hearty wasp]

FSR?

[naive sapphire]

just type this next to the no mans sky catagory and find one that suits ur needs make sure it still works tho some of them dont

[gloomy dagger]

im confused on Vortex mod

[gloomy dagger]

okay @round sinew
I installed the mod consumerism
now how do I find the npc?

[round sinew]

go to anomaly, quicksilver shop

[gloomy dagger]

im in anomaly just finished delivering mission for nexus

[round sinew]

interact with quicksilver shop companion bot, on the right side, just before the right side ramp that goes up to helios, egg sequencer etc

create quicksilver items dialog option iirc

[round sinew]

@unborn thunder could you please delete this post ^ when you get a bit of spare time 🙂 mb

[unborn thunder]

😋

I gotchu!

[gloomy dagger]

Damn...im short XDDD
thanks im gonna do the mission for the Quicksilver

[round sinew]

iirc, there's an addon for consumerism that makes all those free if you'd like - should be linked in consumerism's page

[vale iron]

Yes, Communism

Or Babscoole's Unlocker mods

[gloomy dagger]

thx but I like grinding so I think this is balance for me :D

[gloomy dagger]

ill try later thanks Gumsk

[vale iron]

Yeah, I think the balance of having access but having to buy it still is good

[gloomy dagger]

yep

also its nice that if im late
at least I can buy it later

[thin shard]

I forgot if that's the golden one or the other one

I have the starborn runner and I love it

[thin shard]

I wonder if I should build a starship using just aeron parts if it's possible

[fresh arch]

No areaon cockpit, habs, landing gear or access bay so no

[violet radish]

What is the current version of NMS?

How do I find out what version my mods are?? 🙁

[magic lava]

Should say wherever you got them from

[fair narwhal]

@vale iron I think i donated to you on uh nexus mods , 2 bucks, felt like it bc i know know a little bit about modding nms that I didn't know before thanks to your stuff.

[whole kestrel]

HOW DID U GET DAT?

[fair narwhal]

uh yeah , im an idiot obviously because now it won't even work, its likely due to something i did with it

<Property name="SandWormSpawnChanceMin" value="100" /> is what i put it as
