in the EXML file

oh you know what it is, i had the game open while saving that, durr stupid me

[whole kestrel]

hey yuta

does corvette part limit removers affect muktiplayer?

[fair narwhal]

i dont know

and i don't really care

but likely probably

it does , since my own mods work in multiplayr

i assume it would for you too

you wont ever get in trouble for it

unless you like , mess somebody up real bad

[whole kestrel]

i have mods

i know they work

but i ask if corvette part deleters let other people still see my ship

[fair narwhal]

ohh

you wanna make it invisible

[whole kestrel]

noo

i wanna increase the 100 part limit

[fair narwhal]

why did you say part deleters

[cobalt condor]

The corvette part limit is only checked when you edit your corvette so other people will see the whole thing, even if it is well over the limit

[fair narwhal]

what that person said

yeah

i don't fuk wit corvettes

[whole kestrel]

ahhhh

aight bet

[fair narwhal]

i don't enjoy driving massive objects

[gloomy dagger]

@round sinew helped me out how consumerism work
im not familiar with the vortex
I was like
it cant be that easy right?

2 clicks only...
so yea u need consumerism
farm some quicksilver for me its a fair not really cheating
also just make sure when asking trading

Do not use your corvette or your starship
just get the broken repair it
equip it that broken yet still funtionable starship
use that
and trade it

[fair narwhal]

WHat?

[whole kestrel]

wha?

[fair narwhal]

Hey apix arent you the one that started the expedition yesterday

or was that a few days ago

[empty trail]

They used the consumerism mod

[gloomy dagger]

the Starborn Phoenix...

[whole kestrel]

what does that mod do

[gloomy dagger]

yea that one came from Consumerism bring back the old expedition and just buy it

[empty trail]

Let's you buy expedition rewards and twitch drops and stuff for quicksilver

[whole kestrel]

does communism work?

[empty trail]

Yeah communism is just consumerism but it makes everything free

[whole kestrel]

so if communism worked

aight

[cobalt condor]

It's an add on, you need both

for communism

[gloomy dagger]

yea im happy get this

[whole kestrel]

ima just get consumerism

[fair narwhal]

ok i fked up the sand worms spawn rate

[whole kestrel]

ah-

nvm

[fair narwhal]

i deleted the mod , redownloaded the unedited one and it works fine

[whole kestrel]

im out of storage

[empty trail]

rip

[final hazel]

Even in your archive?

[empty trail]

Consumerism is like 13 mb

[whole kestrel]

my entire pc is running on 3gb of memory

[final hazel]

Oh, not ship storage

[whole kestrel]

ima empty my recycle bin

k i got 212 gb now

[empty trail]

how much was in your recycling bin...

[whole kestrel]

around 400k worth of stuff

or 400k things

[empty trail]

good grief

[vale iron]

Thanks, I appreciate that. Sandworm chances have to be changed in two places. There's the sandworm chance min and max, then one other, I think biome settings?

[south magnet]

Is there an easy way to determine which mod is causing a crash, short of deactivating them individually? I'm on the redux expedition and my game crashes every time I warp to Rendezvous 1. Mod list attached.

[heavy merlin]

Disable half of them, see if it crashes, if it does, disable half of the remaining, repeat in a similar way until you've narrowed it down to one

[south magnet]

yeah, I've tried some permutations of that method with mixed results. I was hoping there was a log file I could check that would point to an error.

[lament aspen]

how do i get a mod that removes the corvette shit saying everythinf must be attached

everything is attached

[solid hawk]

You figure out what it would take to fix that and make the mod, because there isn't one.

Chances are a game bug that HelloGames would need to fix.

[ornate shuttle]

So I have a question that sorta fits here. I know we can only have 12 active ships at a time. Somehow, I'm now stuck at 10 as a max. Two of my ships aren't apparently in my list, but I can see them in the save editor. However, if I try to delete them there, my entire list bugs out in a tremendous way.

Is there a way to fix this, or am I stuck with 10 ships forever?

Worth mentioning I was trying to import a ship design via the base building app and a save editor. Probably did something wrong along the way. And I actually have 11 ships, not 12. Think I successfully deleted one of the glitched ones.

[final hazel]

The best you could do is archive some ships in-game for later use, or export some of the ships using the save editor to import later (may break corvettes currently)

[fair narwhal]

Why dont anyone want to go flying in space at mach 100 with me ?

In jetpack only

[solid hawk]

#nms-lfg-or-trades

[vale iron]

You'll probably need to go into raw JSON editing and manually delete the two phantom ships. The people at Creative hub would probably be best for helping you do that without screwing something up

[safe turret]

Are like modded servers separate from the vanila or its the same servers just u got qol

[final hazel]

#nms-modding message mods do not influence multiplayer connectivity in any way

also, the game does not use servers for sustained connection, only for matchmaking

MP is almost completely p2p

[safe turret]

Is there like a mod where there are community built corrvetes and i can paste them in for myself

[fresh arch]

No there is no such mod

But service bot has a corvette delivery service

See the server link posted above and ask there

[clever lance]

So what you just ask for something, they get it or make it and bring it to you? lol

[vale iron]

It's a bot that delivers things automatically

[fair narwhal]

hey how come when i try to use a 4 number seed in the editor , it gives it a 0 in front

i found the google doc with the seeds for the best stuff , and when i put in seeds with less then 5 numbers it adds in 00s

am i doing it completely wrong?

wow im stupid

its not this at all

[fair narwhal]

how do i get the ID's of multitools in save editor to be 4 digit numbers, because on here its saying that the best DPS one is #1159 , but the save editor adds a 0 at the front of these numbers, completely fucking it up, what the heck, (for the x class boltcaster module)

[heavy merlin]

I think it's just a number, so a zero at the front shouldn't make any difference. Try one of the 5-digit seeds and see if that produces what is expected?

[fair narwhal]

no i want the top dps one

the 5 digit one is worse then the ones i had already

48 fire rate are you kidding me ?

*for sc slot

it used to be 50% fire rate

i still got copies of the old ones ig

thats what i get for believing some reddit post

[heavy merlin]

and see if that produces what is expected

[fair narwhal]

how could a lower fire rate be better?

ok that was a dumb question

i was trying to put 1159 , it keep adding an extra 0, but somebody told me that the 0 is required?

[hearty wasp]

p sure the indexs are supposed to be 5 digits

also old spreadsheets can just have outdated info

[fair narwhal]

omg the stuff i already had was better...

fuckin thing 48 fire rate , bs , 2.4 shots per burst , my old one 2.5, my old one also 36 burst speed reduction, and 50% fire rate increase (if you wondering how the numbers are so high, its because every slot in all of my multitools are SC

so i see different stats then what is listed

[sleek axle]

anyone heres knows a mod to increase the grid size for the corvette?

[solid hawk]

Have you tried searching NexusMods for NMS with the keyword corvette

[sleek axle]

yes

[forest herald]

Hey anyone Mod on Mac? am trying to help a guy but mind is melting

[final hazel]

In relation to what? Know that Mac does not support mods.

[forest herald]

[final hazel]

It does support save editing though #nms-modding message

[forest herald]

@young wolf

[azure olive]

How do you install Nexus Mods when you play on PC with Xbox Game Pass?

[final hazel]

The same exact way that you install them when on Steam, just navigate to GAMEDATA/MODS

or use vortex and pray that it locates the correct location to put the MODS folder

[azure olive]

I needed to create a MODS folder. But I navigated there.

Am I doing something wrong?

[final hazel]

You have placed the MODS folder in the correct place

You may now place mod folders inside of it and they will be read by the game on launch

Read http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550 to see how installing mods works, and troubleshooting steps

all mods last updated before Jan 29 2025 do not work with modern versions of NMS

[azure olive]

Alright, the file was compressed, so I extracted it. It was updated August 31st 2025.

[final hazel]

Yes, and make sure that the folder does not have a bunch of numbers, that means it's the download folder, which means the actual mod folder is one folder deeper

the game does not read mod folders that are one extra folder deep

[azure olive]

So like this?

[final hazel]

Exactly, yes

Loading the game should now present a mod warning, which means that it detects folders there

[azure olive]

Okay, I'll try that soon. I'm installing some Hijacked Laser/Runic Lens mods. Thanks a ton.

I got the mod warning!

[proper verge]

Is there a mod the only increase the corvette build complexity limit, still want every thing else to be vanilla

[final hazel]

Yes, https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3701 if you really really don't want the fx limits changed, you can just remove that part from the EXML

but that barely does anything so you shouldn't worry about it

[proper verge]

Ok thanks, reading thru the guide rn whats the EXML

is that just raising the build limit vs removing it?

[final hazel]

That's the main file of the mod, buried in it's folder structure

[final hazel]

The mod does two different things, as it's description probably says or at least it's images show. The main thing it does is raise the complexity limit to 9,999. The secondary thing it does is raise all corvette module effects limits to 9,999, which means that up to that many landing gear will properly activate, that many thrusters will be lit and showing trails etc

[proper verge]

ok sweet, im trying to unzip the mod file rn(as the guide says) uzip is the same as extracting from a zipped file right

[final hazel]

Yes

[proper verge]

k, is it better to open the game files thru steam?

[proper verge]

or file explorer

[final hazel]

I have no idea how you would open them using steam, browsing to the files in steam should open file explorer

[proper verge]

ok i got it open and unzippilg mod file

[proper verge]

is this right?

[final hazel]

No, you must place them inside of GAMEDATA/MODS

Since MODS doesn't come with the game normally, just create a folder there and name it MODS

[proper verge]

by inside of game data, do i make the folder with the mod in the fist screen shot or the second?

[final hazel]

The folder must be titled MODS, not MOD I believe

[final hazel]

Place/create MODS folder inside of GAMEDATA, then place individual mod folders inside of MODS

[proper verge]

Ithink this is right

[proper verge]

I can boot the game up from this?

[final hazel]

No, as the numbers indicate that that's the download folder, the actual mod folder is inside of that

The game does not read mods that are one folder too deep

[proper verge]

did i unzipp it wrong? or not at all

[final hazel]

You unzipped it correctly, you just need to take the folder inside of that folder and place it in GAMEDATA/MODS

[proper verge]

copy this into MODS?

[final hazel]

Not that

No

[final hazel]

Copy/move "BuildableShip 9999 EXML" to GAMEDATA/MODS

[proper verge]

ok

[proper verge]

imma remove the one with the numbers at the end

[final hazel]

Yes, this structure works

the game should fully recognize this

[proper verge]

Its working, you da goat, yall gotta pay bro, much love ❤️

i asked like fiive times already reddit was no help google was no help and neither here was any help how do i undo this stupid shit that made void eggs and fireworks cost no quicksilver i dont want this shit its pissin me the fk off and im getting extremely frustrated over this shit i cant reset my account data to start over completely trying to edit and lock everything via save editor does jack shit

[vale iron]

I can tell

[shell rune]

this is exactly like what happened to midas😭

guess ill just have to embrace this now

[vale iron]

I'm sure there's a fix, but I don't know what it is. You don't have mods?

[shell rune]

nope completely vanilla since i mostly play on geforcenow

[fallow meadow]

@shell rune You said you made changes with Save Editor that resulted in free QS items in the shop?
If you wish, I can try help you get this fixed. Give me a ping/mention here when you have some time and are on PC with access to your save files.

[shell rune]

i do got time problem is i got no idea how the save files really work when i looked thru the account save text thing theres just ton of words and i tried to find egg inside and theres ton of expedition egg stuff some odd eggs but not a single mention of a void egg

[fallow meadow]

I don't think this is to do with account data, but we can check both to look for the issue and fix it

If you have time now, we can move to #964865106334875698 and continue there

yea that would be good

any mods that fix the sky unloading at high altitudes like this?

[final hazel]

I've never seen anything like this before, are you sure it isn't the result of a mod?

[empty trail]

ive seen it before i believe when i didnt have mods. it's altitude based, so if i return to ground level it goes away,. someone in nms-questions earlier said it was a combo of high altitude and mist/fog

additionally, is there a mod that lets me get rid of the stupid photon cannon in my corvette i DONT WANT IT!!!!

besides this one which appears to accidentally fix it https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3890?tab=posts

[solid hawk]

Whatever there is, is at NexusMods. Just have to search. Best to use individual search terms, then order by last updated date.

[fair narwhal]

thank you for the upgrade module seed lists, as i no longer have to open 10,000 packs of upgrade modules obsessively for hours (this happened ) , and because all of my multitool slots were fully expanded beyond maximum, and every slot is supercharged, I'm now more powerful then I've ever been, AHAHHAHAHA!

[undone condor]

is there a mod that lets you customize save beacon markers, or lets you make permenent markers on planets

[solid hawk]

Only HG would be able to make changes like that. You could make a mod to change the markers, but they'd be static, just like existing, as there's no UI to be able to select and change in-game.

We can't add new functionality that doesn't exist in vanilla.

[undone condor]

ah

[sudden beacon]

Does anyone know of a mod that unlocks the full color menu for all base materials?
What I mean is there something that can make color glitching the texture between different base part types (wood, metal, geometry, etc.) work in the building recoloring menu as opposed to using the glitch via key input?

[vale iron]

Only color mods are edits to the color tables, not enabling more variety like that

[fair narwhal]

has anybody done custom playermodels yet?

[cobalt condor]

sort of

closest thing is these guys

[vale iron]

Player models are extremely complicated and have a lot of animations tied to them, which is a pain, when possible at all

[pale crypt]

That looks horrifying.

If I landed at a station and saw these guys, I'd leave and never return

[fair narwhal]

well i have one friend i'm trying to get him interested in modding, and he's like , idk if he's impressed (obviously i'm not a 'true' modder...but i've shown him all of the stuff that is possible with mods, or at least what i could find), and he seemed bored/uninerested, are there just some people that don't care for absurdity and glitches and mods?

like doesn't dislike it don't get me wrong, just seemed like "meh"

is this game truly that boring to mod?

could just be that I in particular am boring

[fresh arch]

The golden rule of NMS modding

If you have an idea for a mod and you don't see it done yet, it's not because nobody else in 9 years had this idea

It's either because it's straight up impossible given the technical limitations of modding

[fair narwhal]

like its somebody i know irl and online and he was like, "oh, i didnt know that was possible, say uh, what part of the expidition are you on?"

[fresh arch]

Or either it's somehow possible but a total pain in the ass

Pair that with longest time where mods had to be updated nearly every major update, forcing people to stick with their creations

[fair narwhal]

and i was like "well don't you wanna try this out too?" and he was like "nah i'm good , that looks kinda idk if i wanna put in the time for that "

[fresh arch]

And you see why it isn't a popular endeavour

[fair narwhal]

now that i think about it, that's a perfectly reasonable response

[fresh arch]

Imagine crafting an elaborate idea for a mod only to do due research and learn it's just not possible

Or could be possible if you scaled down your expectations by a factor of 10

[fair narwhal]

I mean, does nobody in the world have as much joy as I do with it?

[magic lava]

Yes, they do

Keep in mind you are 9 years late to the modding party

[fair narwhal]

I understand

[fresh arch]

Only a small % of the playerbase can use mods

[magic lava]

You are in the Creative Hub, but not the modding discord?

Bruh

[fair narwhal]

I am

oh theres two?

a third one

[fresh arch]

I think you're better off sharing your experiences in the Nexus Mods, where people actually comment on mods they play with

[magic lava]

!moddinglink

[fair narwhal]

mhm , most likely

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/22ZAU9H

[fair narwhal]

aye thanks

[fresh arch]

And most mod authors don't play the game as actively as you'd expect

[fair narwhal]

well if this game itself is anything to go by, maybe they are not toxic

[fresh arch]

We jump into see new stuff, mod new stuff, update old mod stuff

[fair narwhal]

Nothing I do is even hard, i just edit sht with notepad, not that advanced, i just began this and barely know what i'm doing, im at the stage where its new and fun to me and it's only a matter of time before I either evolve from that , or get bored and move on

[fresh arch]

And that's only when IRL responsibilities don't stop us from actually playing

[fair narwhal]

like after i've already messed with everyhing in the game pretty much, I fear burnout is inevitable

[fresh arch]

Sounds like you're just editing EXML patch mods others have released

[fair narwhal]

yeah at this point

[fresh arch]

There's still much more to do in realm of modding

[fair narwhal]

its fun

[fresh arch]

But the deeper you look, the more limitations you'll come across

[fair narwhal]

like i said, i dont claim to be a 'modder' i just mess with sht

to have fun

[fresh arch]

That's all we do lol

Throwing shit at a wall and seeing what sticks

And building from that

[fair narwhal]

i wish i knew how to like, get every mbin and like, edit that shit on my own

yknow make my own exml stuff

[fresh arch]

That's what the modding server is for

[fair narwhal]

because i bet you there is a ton of other things i can mess up

for science

and laughs

[fresh arch]

http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

And this article to get started

[fair narwhal]

when you do finally move beyond editing files that already exist by somebody else, does it stay just being something you can create using notepad?

and yes, gum's the files that i was editing, i have him to thank for me messing with the game period, if you read this man . i am very happy that its easy as just putting numbers in notepad, but i do not now nor will i ever take credit for any of it

[fresh arch]

Some game files can be modded with EXML patches

Some require full MBIN replacements

[fair narwhal]

and exml is openable with notepad

[fresh arch]

Those can't be easily viewed with a text editor

The article linked covers that

[fair narwhal]

with great power comes great responsibility, and the last thing i wanna be known as , is a leech, or a problematic person.

bet you guys have had a fair share of those

I might be teetering on problematic maybe

but i don't intend on ruin anyones day with sht that messes 'them' up too

as far as messing up my own saves/game itself, I do not care.. i will walk into the fire or swim with no lifeguard.

jk

[fresh arch]

You'd need to try really hard to bork save data with a mod

Game is pretty good at removing data it can't recognise

[fair narwhal]

like when 2147483647 animal speed didn't make them go into space like i had hoped?

i hope python is easy

yay i found the mbin compiler , hahaha yeah

this is where the fun begins

[vale iron]

I've only ever bricked a save with a mod once and it was really fringe

Don't worry too much about publishing or sharing, just ask first if it's cool and you'll be fine

And "modder" is exactly that - mess with shit. I call it controlled breaking of the game. Figure out how to break what the game does, but in a predictable way.

[vale iron]

Just ask him what he wants to see, then tell us. We'll tell you if it exists, is possible, or is just too much of a pain in the ass to do

[fair narwhal]

"what i wanna do is make a machinegun plasma launcher

[vale iron]

That's easy, just rate of fire

[fair narwhal]

right

but im gonna reduce its explosion radius so i dont die too

[fair narwhal]

i know this is just save edit , buti see in persistent bases , that there are coordinates and numbesrs, along with the objects in question, would it be possible to, edit taht to have the objects load a specific way without you having to in-game do so

an auto-build

[final hazel]

Yes, people have made programs to do so using this data https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2598

[high epoch]

anyone know if there's a mod that changes how often the expedition list (for frigate missions) repopulates? the once a day timer to get new ones. if there is, i wasnt able to find it.
not looking for a mod that reduces the timers, not interested in that.

[solid hawk]

Not possible via mod. 24 hour reset is hardcoded. Supposedly you can change the time on your computer to 24 hours ahead to get 5 more.

But, if you then set back, you'll have that much longer to wait before the next reset.

[empty trail]

Do note that changing your computer time is not recommended

[last basin]

does anyone know of any mods for reducing flashing lights for people with light sensitivity? My partner has minor epilepsy but would love to get into this game if she could, but theres no settings to turn off the flashes that happen from nearly aspect of the game so i figured id seek out the help of the modding community. 🙏

[vale iron]

There's a setting in game for most of the flashes

[last basin]

i think the only one is the fade to white setting from what i can tell? Is there other stuff i should look at? Or like maybe even stuff in the config that i can change? Faade to white doesnt really cover everything

[solid hawk]

Then what other flashes are you talking about? Would need a fairly exhaustive listing. If it's just a few things, might be possible to do something via mod. If, as you say, it's every aspect of the game, then probably not possible, as could potentially be taking about needing changes to thousands of game files.

Every "flash" instance would need to be looked at individually for a potential solution, with no means of testing other than having an epileptic look at the modded results, potentially putting in harms way.

In general, video gaming has never been a safe endeavor for extreme reactive epileptics. Function of the realities of how video gaming graphics work.

Like going to the disco. Just a thing those folks must avoid for health and safety.

[vale iron]

AFAIK, the "fade to white" is actually flashes and covers almost all the flash transitions. It switches them to black, which isn't ideal, but much better. As Babscoole said, anything else we would need to have a list of instances before we could look.

[round sinew]

question: would it be possible to mod sea glass to appear on non waterworld biome planets? could a terrain gen mod do that?

thinking of players who have thalassophobia, and milestones in expeditions

[spare chasm]

Hold up my No Complexity Limit mod ain't workin anymore

[hearty wasp]

#nms-modding message troubleshooting section

[solid hawk]

Not terrain mod, but it might be a possibility with a biome mod. The distinction is the files used to make the changes.

[round sinew]

thanks! i see, so it wouldnt even be needed to go that deep (terrain gen), that's even better yeah, i was wondering if that was also possible.

[solid hawk]

Variable name of sea glass is DEEPSEA_PROD. In vanilla available in two separate rewards.

Can make a new reward or use existing and tag it to something on land

For example, as a reward for destroying some type of hazardous plant. Already spawn everywhere, so then wouldn't even have to mess with biome files for a new thing to spawn.

[noble coral]

are there mods for showing roll ranges of mods, ship stats etc?

[round sinew]

yeah, that's convenient 🙂 great idea, thanks again!

[solid hawk]

Showing in-game? Not really possible. Can't simply add new UI items to display data. You can dig in the game data files to find this info though. There's be a Min and Max value for whatever it is.

[noble coral]

meh, if it cannot be displayed ingame then not going to bother. Thanks tho

[fresh arch]

Fyi catalogue and guide - technology section already displays potential max stats for proc gen upgrades

[solid hawk]

Nice. Not the range, but better than nothing.

[solid hawk]

Says legacy for a reason. Will not work with current NMS, nothing you can do will make it so.

[meager sun]

oh

[solid hawk]

NO mod last updated prior to 29 January 2025 will work with current NMS. No point in looking at mods older than that.

[meager sun]

i found one mod that works

its old so you cant get them all but

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3748

[solid hawk]

That is NOT old. Fully up to date.

[meager sun]

oh

[solid hawk]

29 January 2025 is the cutoff.

[meager sun]

where do you find that?

ah i see

[solid hawk]

Before that date will not and cannot work. After that date should be ok.

[meager sun]

ok i hope someone makes a new season unlocker then

[solid hawk]

Will not happen.

HG made changes in 2024 which broke the mod completely.

There are now individual mods for the unique rewards. Like this, https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3270

All with unlocker in the name.

[meager sun]

so i cant get this armor ever?

[solid hawk]

Or can use consumerism to buy from the quicksilver vendor

I don't even recognize that. Something from a mod?

nope

do i put it inthe game data but not the mod folder?

[final hazel]

It's not something you install into the game, it's a program that is used to build mods using Lua scripts based on your current game install's files, which is useful to update them when a large game update happens but nowadays it's significantly less necessary if at all for most users to worry about that

[meager sun]

so i dont need it at all?

[final hazel]

It doesn't matter, it does not interface directly with No Man's Sky whatsoever

[meager sun]

ah

[final hazel]

Unless you have a mod that exclusively comes as a Lua script, not really

[meager sun]

like this one?

[final hazel]

Consumerism should work fine

It's best to update that manually via nexusmods anyways as it must be manually updated to add future expedition rewards when more are added

[meager sun]

k so i delete the AMUMSS and just run it like that

if not, the base building app would probably be preferable

erm

how do i use the app

(i used the mod not the blender plugin)

do i run the .pak or is it ingame or the win64 shipper .exe thin

[final hazel]

By copying base data using a save editor's raw json editor, then pasting it into the "import from NMS" open text box

[final hazel]

oh, it should be an exe

[empty trail]

dis one?

[final hazel]

Probably not, just the NoMansSkyBaseBuilder.exe

[empty trail]

ah

i did not need to extract it to the mods folder

[empty trail]

yes

run anyway >:)

oh wow it just jumps straight into it ok

do i need to make a basic corvette to import to the base builder ingame first

for a new corvette

[final hazel]

Oh, you do need an existing corvette to paste over, yes

when exporting, it may be easier to copy the objects data and paste it over the objects data of the corvette's base

you could simply copy your current corvette too, by copying it's entry in the shipownership section, then copying it's base and making sure the UserData aligns with the shipownership entry number for that ship (for this you may need a base to overwrite, not smart enough to add new entries lol)

dont you just love it when you put in a seed for some weapon upgrade and it turns out to be worse then the one you already had

best seed bullshit

[solid hawk]

https://www.nexusmods.com/games/nomanssky/search?keyword=pum

Best stats for upgrades. Will need to process script through AMUMSS to generate the mod yourself.

[fair narwhal]

i put in seeds for my x class modules and unless the fuckin game or save editor scrambled them up , i didnt fuck it up

thank god i have backup saves jesus christ

question about that mod, will the stats of the shit i get save and carry over to xbox when cross saving?

[solid hawk]

Should as the seed would be stored in the save, BUT can't say with 100% certainty, as I don't have a console to test.

[fair narwhal]

its only some of them that arent as good as before

some randomly are better and exactly what i wanted

but i do NOT recall putting the wrong shit in , could have as im clumsy and tired

i mean yes , usually the upgrade modules translate over 100% of the time ,however a couple of them seem to have randomized themselves

as i put 3 of them

for each one

Are there any mods that remove the camera jump from the recoil of a fully charged neutron cannon? A fully upgraded version of that weapon makes me very motion sick, and is practically unavoidable with s rank upgradrs

[final hazel]

At the very least, using it in third-person is much less disorienting imo

[stuck portal]

That's the mode I tried first, I thought FPS would be better but it wasn't. Right now I am using bolt caster so I don't get the recoil, I might try getting x upgrades withoit the charge up stat but I don't know if that would neuter (no pun intended) the weapon too much

Will need to process this Lua script through AMUMSS to generate the mod. Give it a shot and see how it goes.

[river ledge]

Does anyone know if there’s a mod that gives more galaxy filters?

[final hazel]

I do not believe that this is possible

[final hazel]

Corvettes are fundamentally bases that fly.

Or moreso a base attached to an invisible ship
Similar to how your freighter base is a different type of base from planetary ones, your corvettes are a different type of base from both of those

[river ledge]

Damn. I’m trying to find a galaxy with only 2 planets that are both lush

[empty trail]

A system?

[royal latch]

does anyone know of a mod that allows you to design atlantid multitools? the guns not the staves.

[solid hawk]

There's no facility in-game to allow for this.

With NMS, mods cannot add new features, only HG can do that.

[solid hawk]

There's no properties to allow for searches based on specific number of planets, nor specific number with a particular biome.

[river ledge]

What about if a system has water?

[solid hawk]

Yes, that is possible

This is a scan event for a digsite on a planet, but all scans use the same class. Look through and you can see what is and isn't possible.

[river ledge]

I don’t understand any of that, but thank you. I’m just now learning about different galaxies having better odds of lush planets, so I’m gonna work towards that

[solid hawk]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3368

[river ledge]

Tysm! That’s extremely helpful, I’ll work on downloading that now

[solid hawk]

This one allows for scanning for specific biome type planets, https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2144 , without the bugs the first one seems afflicted with (according to the author)

[viscid rampart]

Any mods that can search for dissonance planets?

[final hazel]

The game already allows you to see the presence of them in a system from the galaxy map, using their special "Dissonant" tag. You could use a mod like https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3914 that adds color to that to make it more obvious when hovering over a bunch of systems, or possibly one of the ones above which I have no idea how those work besides using mission functions from the vanilla game

[viscid rampart]

Stupid question but I’ve been to probably about 30-40 systems, I’ve not run into any more dissonance, and I’ve not seen any dissonant tags even on my home system which has a dissonance detection planet but doesn’t have a dissonant tag why would that be?

[fresh arch]

Does the option to Locate substance on Atlantideum in catalogue and guide not work?

[final hazel]

That could only be because it's a Gas Giant system, as that's the only tag that overrides "Dissonant" visually. Dissonant worlds aren't common but not rare either, so not sure why you wouldn't be able to find many more that easily

[viscid rampart]

In the place of where yours says dissonant mine says water, I only ever get a “water” tag I’m guessing my game could just be glitched ?

[final hazel]

Then your system shouldn't have a dissonant world, are you sure that it's the same system?

[viscid rampart]

Definitely sure

[final hazel]

"Water" has a lower priority than "Dissonant" so it should never show on a system that has dissonant worlds

just found out something , by default the max damage potential for a ship is <Property name="MaxPossibleShipDamagePotential" value="17000" />

[solid hawk]

Not exactly how that works. As you look through these property\value pairs in the globals, must keep in mind that there's quite a few which are deprecated. Do nothing. You will want to do empirical testing to determine if the property actually does anything and what the values actually mean (often times there's a multiplier factor elsewhere in other files).

[fair narwhal]

which im doing

i am looking at every mbin file in globals

all the global mbin's

and converting those to look at the variables

theres different shit i had no idea existed

converting MBIN to MXML is that obsolete?

i dont wanna make it .pak because that'll be a pain in the butt to go back and edit

and the new MXML i made today , it didn't need to be a .pak and i also didn't need to make it its own .lua

just had the MXML by itself

and bingo, most of it works

it was for increased jetpack speed on planet and in water, works like a charm

although a bit too fast

now im fast on both land and space

[solid hawk]

No, but with the exception of LocTable file, the game will not see of use mod files which are MXML. Only MBIN and EXML

[solid hawk]

.pak IS obsolete for mods and the game will not use them

[fair narwhal]

and also those are a pain in the ass to work with

so im glad they are obsolete

you can edit EXML use notepad and make own use notepad

easy peasy

[hearty wasp]

not sure if you've read the docs yet but it does mention all this #nms-modding message

[solid hawk]

See this document: http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

[fair narwhal]

yes

editing EXML is fun because its just notepad , haha

[solid hawk]

Well, MXML and old EXML are\were just text files with xml formatting too.

[fair narwhal]

yeah its super cool , super cool

and once extracted from the mbin, you can see EVERY single variable in the game basically except hidden ones?

the globals are super cool

[solid hawk]

Hidden ones?

[fair narwhal]

all i know is , the globals are fun to mess with

[solid hawk]

There's functions and data in the exe which are obfuscated and not really viewable.

[fair narwhal]

i wish there was a console command thing like with source games

[solid hawk]

There is, only HelloGames employees, while within their offices, have access.

[fair narwhal]

that would be super cool, super cool

so basically those guys can just edit the variables without exiting the game or downloading or editing anything

in realtime

also spawn stuff

[solid hawk]

What we see in MXML\EXML is NOT what HelloGames sees or uses.

The deal directly in C# source code.

[fair narwhal]

MAAN spawning npc's enemies, ships, ect , anytime and anywhere, that would be extremely fun

that would feel like a true full creativemode

[solid hawk]

What we see in MXML is generated by a modding community created tool, in a format chosen by the original author of MBINCompiler.

[fair narwhal]

and is NOT the whole deal

[solid hawk]

Correct

[fair narwhal]

those guys just have to input shit into a box

or controller combos

[solid hawk]

Lots of things are not moddable and most likely never will be.

[fair narwhal]

what like spawning npc's ships and animals?

i bet thats doable

[solid hawk]

Spawning parameters can be modded.

[fair narwhal]

but you like, can't just place different ones right in front of you?

[solid hawk]

Depends. Get the mod called EUCLI-EA

You can "build" 1000 triceratops around you.....

[fair narwhal]

would it make it like uh, fallout new vegas type object spawning?

awesome

if you know what i'm saying

[solid hawk]

of course then you'd get like 0.25 fps. haha

[solid hawk]

Nope. Never touched fallout new vegas

[fair narwhal]

nah, but you know what i mean by a menu or a console command thing

[solid hawk]

Yes, I understand. Most likely not.

[fair narwhal]

having the devkit , maan that would be like being god itself

[solid hawk]

We've a saying in the modding community, for NMS, given the game has been out for 9+ years, if you don't see an existing mod to do something, chances are it's not possible. Many others have had the same ideas before you.

[fair narwhal]

ofc

[solid hawk]

Never happen.

[fair narwhal]

anything that has been pondered about or thought of has been tested right?

[solid hawk]

Most likely. That's the big thing in mod making, the right way, rigorous testing.

[fair narwhal]

learning thru mistakes too

i'd like to see what 'doesn't' work just to make sure that i shouldn't use it

modding is one of the things that messing something up , you can learn from that

can

kind of like being an inventor

[polar helm]

What do people use to build these crazy corvettes that aren't built directly ingame?

[livid owl]

Are there any mods that let you batch select base items

Like if I want to copy and paste a stack of barrels

[astral quest]

Im using the nms service bot rn and im wondering if the ship seed matters when im getting an Orb explorer delivered

[hearty wasp]

#nms-modding message

[hearty wasp]

can't

[hearty wasp]

p much only affects the colour

[astral quest]

Does someone have a ship import/export file for an orb explorer that works with the goatfungus save editor?

If not i would also be fine with some help finding my way through the raw JSON data to turn my ship into an orb

[hearty wasp]

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[hearty wasp]

ask there ^

p sure the service bot can deliver a ball too

[astral quest]

Only if you pay for patreon sadly

[hearty wasp]

ah

they still do more save editing there either way

[solid hawk]

There's a specific save-editing channel on Creative and Sharing

[weary needle]

IM so frustrated with save editing lol

anyone on who uses save editors?

thanks!

[strange lava]

Kind of a odd question. But can you build on friends ships?

[vale iron]

If they allow friends to build on their bases, should be able to do interior stuff

You can set it to anyone, friends, group and friends, or no one

[strange lava]

Next question I’ve seen pc players put. Geobays. On corvettes is that a thing for friends or no?

[vale iron]

Can be done, yeah, though I don't think they work properly

I've built for other people before, usually when they are on console and can't extend their base to reach what they need

[strange lava]

It was just a thought. For bike. Thing to be on the ship and just spawn it when you wanna explore.

[vale iron]

Yeah, I just remember hearing that only one of the exocraft bays works properly on corvettes, but I can't remember which

[strange lava]

Ok that’s good to know. I’ve only seen the pilgrim. On ships. So far

[vale iron]

Put them all down and see which works, then delete the ones that don't 🙂

[strange lava]

I’m. A. PlayStation user. I can’t put geobays. On ships. Unless. I don’t know how. Yet or something

[fresh arch]

Moda that enable that kind of thing are a thing only for PC platforms

[cobalt condor]

There is a bug that can do it, I think.
You land the corvette in a base, go into build mode, cycle to edit the base, place the geobay on the corvette, pick up the geobay then cycle to editing the corvette and let the geo bay go so it snaps back to where it was

[vale iron]

Yeah, would need someone else to do it for you

glitching probably works, yeah

[cobalt condor]

may have been patched, haven't heard of anyone doing that in a while

[fresh arch]

Huh TIL

I thought it was only done with mods like beyond base building

[viscid rampart]

managed to fix my issue with the dissonance luckily. I had some of my hud disabled somehow.

[empty trail]

It's certainly easiest to do it with the mod, though

[clever kayak]

Hi. How to get the base builder app to make very large Corvettes ?

[solid hawk]

[solid hawk]

That's the authors Discord, official support for the base builder app and plugin

[harsh forge]

someone got save with story completed?

[clever kayak]

Thx

[spare chasm]

Has anyone made a mod where the alien sounds are replaced with the Cave Man Scream sound effect?

specifically the ones in dialogue

[spare chasm]

When it comes to the whole save editor stuff, is there a way I can change the race of my Freighter's crew?

[grave kelp]

Is there a mod that allows you to manually move your crosshair placement around on your screen? I have a few vettes that the crosshair is off center and I really cant figure out how to fix it.

[cobalt condor]

Most you could do is make a mod that moves all the crosshairs to a different spot

but then only the corvette would be right

[grave kelp]

😭

[hearty wasp]

a permanent marker on the screen would go hard

[solid hawk]

Nope

[solid hawk]

What exactly does this have to do with modding?

[fair narwhal]

its mods

therefore modding?

i didnt know it had to be discussion only?

[solid hawk]

I suppose a video most will not watch is ok, but do put into context and say which mods are being highlighted.

[fair narwhal]

this one makes npcs talk and move fast

made it myself

[solid hawk]

Better. 🙂 More people will watch a 5 minute video with a description of what it shows, than just some random gameplay vid. 🙂

[fair narwhal]

i can post the exml ?

[solid hawk]

Why not just publish on NexusMods?

[fair narwhal]

i fear people will make fun of it

its really dumb

not helpful

[solid hawk]

That can happen here to, lol

[fair narwhal]

all it does is make npc's talk a lot

can i show video of it here

[solid hawk]

If it makes you happy and enhances your gameplay, that's all you should worry about.

[fair narwhal]

im just saying im kinda proud of myself for making my first mod

as im new to all of this

[solid hawk]

Most of the good modders, we make the mods for ourselves first. Then share on NexusMods so other have the option to use.

[fair narwhal]

ive not seen anybody make something that makes the npc have a fit

[solid hawk]

Some get lots of usage, others are very niche and only a handful of others will ever use.

[fair narwhal]

unless you want a good chuckle

for like 4 mins then uninstall

[solid hawk]

If nothing else, it's a conversation starter.

[fair narwhal]

well it made me laugh

idk if others will

because also i had no clue it would even work

[solid hawk]

It's cute, but as you say, more of a short term install thing.

[fair narwhal]

the mbins are a treasure trove

the globals are like, finding a gold tomb

so much stuff you can mess with

i have most of you to thank for me even knowing about it

so thanks gum, thanks bab

you guys rock

i wouldnt have known what an exml was if not for you two

[solid hawk]

We just try to help out a bit

[fair narwhal]

see how dumb that mod was?

haha

like me

[solid hawk]

Lots of good stuff in METADATA files as well

[fair narwhal]

"mod" more like messup

[solid hawk]

lol

[fair narwhal]

it instead of enhances gameplay, makes it weird

that'll be my specialty

<Property name="NPCMaxRandomNavPathMinIndoorOffset" value="-0.150000" /> I wonder what messing with this will do

<Property name="NPCWalkSpeedGek" value="5.400000" /> I changed it fron 1.4 to 5.4 to test out what it will do

that's not what's in the exml thats just my commnet on the matter

<Property name="NPCWalkSpeedMech" value="2.200001" /> i assume this controls how fast the minotaur walks when in ai mode

i'm the worst modder so far, welcome

[umbral acorn]

Hello does someone know how could i get my ingame skin model file so i can print it? Was thinking about ninja ripper but its paid so.

[fresh arch]

Least nip infused Gek right there

[fresh arch]

There are already "dumb" mods on Nexus

And nobody is complaining

Do what you want as long as it doesn't harm other players

[tardy grotto]

ive heard abt it but idk where to find it

[vast steeple]

Hey any modders have a flyer egg I could make my companion and ride? I'm on ps5

Don't know how this works I'm new to nms

[fading rune]

What's flyer egg

Nvm

[vast steeple]

You can't adopt flying creatures (that never land at least to my understanding) without mods. Beetle fauna exist but I haven't found it yet and saw a mod showcase of flyer egg being hatched. Looked like a huge pterodactly it was pretty fast

[solid hawk]

there's also a addon mod for it that makes the quicksilver shop free

[kindred remnant]

alr thanks

uh, theres no mods folder like the instruction say @round sinew

[round sinew]

create it

[kindred remnant]

now i know that

how to know if it is good?

[west solstice]

guys i found a solution for when you get a building thing stuck below your corvette:
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3798?tab=files&file_id=44219

select the no-clip build camera file and you can noclip through anything including the floor in the corvette workshop

[kindred remnant]

Done

I will just take 2 things

Wraith ship and the staff

The rest will be my own work ro obtain it

the latter

Did the game had an update?

[hearty wasp]

you can check #nms-news-ticker

i installed the no limit for corvette but its not working

Check to make sure the mod folder isn't an extra folder deep, and that it's in GAMEDATA/MODS, not PCBANKS/MODS

bruh am new yall showing me thise like i know what to do i just need explination pls

[final hazel]

You should just need to point the save editor to that directory, that's where the save files are stored

ik but am on thing window to find the save path but where i go what i choose idk am goig on the no man sky folder i have but i got nun

[marble pewter]

Anybody got this and wants to give it to me can be baby

You are supposed to specify the path to your save files, not the game install files

Save editors modify save data, not game install data

[final hazel]

You should just have to type %localAppData% into the Windows search bar and press enter, then follow the folder structure that it shows to get to your save files

You could alternatively go to User > (your username) > appdata > local, I think

thx love u hope your pilow cold on both side fr i got it now. i bless you. never meant to be rude too am just tired thx again
