[fair narwhal]

None of my mods are broken,but it's hard to tell what's broken and what's working with mine

All of my fucked up mods still work

[vale iron]

Most EXML are fine

[fair narwhal]

Yup

Which is a good chunk of mods no?

[vale iron]

For some authors

[fair narwhal]

Like us

What besides exml would someone use ?

[vale iron]

MBIN, when you can't do EXML

[fair narwhal]

Oh for shit like models

[vale iron]

More complex mods aren't just value changes

[fair narwhal]

You talking About models right?

Nvm I. An idiot

Opinion of the WeMod tool? Or flingg

Now called Wand

It's a nms trainer

It was broken until late last night

[plush wasp]

regarding ||goatfungus's save editor||, ive downloaded it around 2-3 weeks ago, but i cant find ||the corvette parts of the previous expedition||. is this because i have an older version or has it not been updated yet?

[final hazel]

It hasn't been updated with new item/reward lists since Voyagers I believe

That doesn't stop you from editing them in yourself via raw json editing, but that's incredibly complicated compared to just right clicking and typing stuff into the UI. It may be better to use a mod that allows you to purchase modules or previous expedition rewards etc

[plush wasp]

i see

the only expedition exclusive items since voyagers have been the corvette pieces right? (excluding the items from the current ongoing exp.)

[fresh arch]

1. no need to spoiler / censor stuff here

[final hazel]

Also the Aeron Starship Trail, and the Debris Rangefinder etc

[fresh arch]

2. if memory serves right, the github issues page for goatfungus had a link to 3rd party patch

that added items released past last update to the SE

so you can try looking into that patch and see if it works for you

https://github.com/vectorcmdr/NMSSaveEditor/releases

[plush wasp]

what is the Debris Rangefinder?

[final hazel]

The item from Expedition 20: Breach that was used to locate the corvette wrecks in space

[plush wasp]

im not too fussed about the corvette parts rewarded in the last exp.

[final hazel]

It was an item used during the expedition, not a reward

[plush wasp]

ah so theres no use for it in normal gameplay im assuming?

[final hazel]

the wrecks can be located outside of the expedition rarely while piloting a corvette as a random pulse engine event, also located manually using Anomaly Detectors

[plush wasp]

ah i see

[final hazel]

The item is usable outside of the expedition, but you're not really meant to get it outside of the exp

[plush wasp]

yeah

in that case im not too fussed about not having those items, and since i didnt just start playing right before the exp ends this time around i can play without needing to rush it and get all the rewards

besides the twitch drops ofc, but im sure vectorcmdr will release an updated version for that

thanks!

[jade laurel]

are any of the save editors up to date and NOT broken?

[bright fable]

Any idea if its possible to make the new Colossus Excavation Blade Attachment capable of collecting planted resources?
Could really improve the potential farm possibilities

[spare chasm]

Does anyone know a good place to make seeds for multitools? I do wanna make one of those cool Atlantid Multitools

[cobalt condor]

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[spare chasm]

Thanks

[cobalt condor]

The excavation blade works by modifying the existing behavior of exocraft being able to destroy objects they drive into. Unfortunately that system only applies to objects placed by planet gen so it's probably not possible

[hearty wasp]

just wait for one of those extend harvest radius mods

[bright fable]

For sure, I was just more thinking from a this would be cool additional functionality for the Colossus standpoint, not a open field farms are totally impossible as is standpoint, but I do agree that your solution would work for folks only concerned with mass collection

[hearty wasp]

most likely it's either that or you don't have any way at all

it's not optimal but it's just the limitation from the game

[bright fable]

Personally I prefer to do the harvesting myself, hence thinking this could be a good way to add a lil variety to my farms

Twitch Drops - Season 12
https://twitch.nomanssky.com/drops/12

[fierce rapids]

well I am going to remove the old mods anyway since they are almost a year old and play bare bones for now lol

[solid hawk]

This is not meant to discourage, just setting realistic expectations. NMS modding is highly limited, as to what we can do. No API, so, for the most part, simple value changes for existing properties. 99% of mod requests from users just aren't possible, so those of us who can, generally won't take on requests. In most cases would be a waste of time. Especially in the weeks following a major update. We've our own mods to update and work on. I do more requests than everyone else combined and that's MAYBE a couple\year.

[bright fable]

'ppreciate ya Babs, and no worries - just didn't know if the attachment and how it worked had been looked into yet, and whether it might be a case of adding the relevant asset IDs to a collection table

[solid hawk]

Would be nice if something like that could be done with excavators, but we can't add new functionality.

For the most part, everyone is focused on updating existing mods, more than doing new stuff, atm. Gumsk threw out a new mod earlier today and I have one in the works.

By chance do you have one of the gravity gun things?

[bright fable]

I do, yeah 👀

[solid hawk]

You going in-game sometime today? I'm up to my eyeballs in updates, so will probably be days before I get in-game. Mind if I DM you?

[bright fable]

dont mind at all, but I may not be in-game today unfortunately 😔

Expedition Rewards - Seasons 16-21

[abstract stag]

do mods work after the patch or did it mess something up?

[hearty wasp]

depends but a lot will need updating

check them if you want

[solid hawk]

ALWAYS messes something up, just a matter of how much. 🙂

[fair belfry]

Is there any way to give myself the colossus titles and customization rewards? Gathering all the waste and processing it takes so long...

[fair belfry]

At the very least, I heard there was a mod for increasing the colossus speed?

[autumn radish]

So I've been meaning to go on an expedition marathon for a while now, wanting to play through all of them chronologically (even the ones I did already participate in).

Truthfully, I am actually doing this mostly to gather whatever lore bits I can, and for the missing rewards secondarily. The default recommendation of the expedition generator suggests doing the redux versions of the expos, and it'd be my choice too, mainly because of the time savings.

But I've been wondering, since the redux expeditions are usually condensed a bit with easier milestones and such, does this also affect lore and story bits? Like have some dialogue or other lore related bits/encounters of the original expo been left out in some cases?

I'm honestly not really expecting an answer, since I doubt there are many people who played through several versions of an expedition, and also payed precise attention to the lore thingies. But if I could get an answer on this, perhaps from someone who also has file knowledge about the reduxes and what exactly gets changed, i'd greatly appreciate it.

[solid hawk]

You don't miss much. Not any lore. It's things like destroy 20 asteroids, instead of 50.

Same milestones, but need to do less to complete

[wet valley]

Where are gaem logs? Want to try adn see if i can figure otu what mod exactly is crashing

[final hazel]

Nowhere, there aren't any

Diagnose it manually by removing some mods and reopening

or all of them if you don't have the time for that

[wet valley]

Welp its hard to binary search a crash that takes anywhere from 1 minute to 10 minutes

[autumn radish]

Aight, thanks for elaborating. This a pretty huge relief for me. Then I shall soon begin with this project 🫡

[solid hawk]

The crash may not even be due to a mod as well, it's HGs generic catch all message from a crash. Right now, with a new major update out, TONS of bugs in the game. Happens every major release. Then over the next few weeks they'll release hotfixes to slowly whittle away at the long list of crash bugs.

[jade laurel]

is there a way to skip the artimis questline and atlas path?

[torn onyx]

Anyone able to make the flatbed lock in salvage?

[vale iron]

I've looked at it but haven't found a simple way yet

[quick sparrow]

what are so qol mods what are good for this game ?

[solid hawk]

That's entirely subjective, how you want to play the game. All mods can be found at https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/newrecently. Be aware that no mod new or last updated prior to 29 January 2025 can work, so only ones that date or newer have a chance of being functional.

[half turtle]

I need this mod.

[vale iron]

Check the Better NMS collection on Nexus

[jade laurel]

Anyone know a save editor that can get breach parts

[junior schooner]

are there mods that work on linux? if so, how do you install them?

[final hazel]

Same way as installing them on Windows I believe, just place mod folders in GAMEDATA/MODS

Refer to the installation and troubleshooting info here http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

[junior schooner]

thanks

[spare linden]

How do I save edit in the new colossus parts?

[fresh arch]

by adding their respective product IDs to the known products list in your save data

since no save editor has been updated yet, you need to do it manually by editing raw JSON data

if you don't know how to do it, better wait for SEs to get updated so you dont risk borking your save

[restive arrow]

What about using nmsapp

Nvm nmsapp is also not updated

[fresh arch]

then it's best to wait for mods like Consumerism to be updated

least risky method IMO

[chrome shard]

Can we like take our base and put/paste it on another planet or system?
Without building it again?

Through the save editor

[vale iron]

Yes, but it's not going to be easy nor clean

[chrome shard]

How?

Could ya tell me?

[vale iron]

Sorry, no, I'm working on updating mods. You'll have to dig into it yourself

[chrome shard]

well thanks ig

[coral gale]

huh, someone already made a mod to make the Grav Gun more powerful

any good mods to increase visual quality? I been using Exosolar's mods but I dont think they been updated

[spare linden]

What are their IDs?

I've done a lot of Raw JSON editing before

[vale iron]

The Exo mods are most likely all up to date. Babscoole maintains those

[coral gale]

I like Beyond Base Building cause it lets me build planet style bases on freighter, and those parts on planets

[coral gale]

is there any places other than Nexus for them? the ones I use havent been updated in a few months so I dunno if the current nms will play nice with em

[fresh arch]

all active mod authors post their works on Nexus Mods alone

all other platforms are likely to host stolen mods from there

well there's one certain individual who doesnt post on Nexus anymore on their own volition

[coral gale]

one I use is Exosolar's and Babs' Expanse, updated 5 months ago

[fresh arch]

its possible its still good to go if it's an EXML patch

it should be guessing based on who maintains it and what files are needed for that

[coral gale]

still too used to mods not playing nice before Hello Games updated modding capabilities

[fresh arch]

it's been a year

what could be updated, most likely has been updated

[coral gale]

and I honestly havent played much, health issues, boredom, waiting for expeditions, etc

[fresh arch]

go to the mod page, see if it's an EXML mod, if yes its good chance it doesnt require an update

install it, check it in game, if it performs like expected - good, if not - let the author know on the comment page on the mod

[coral gale]

is there a mod to disable multi-tool auto-holstering? (like when you point at a friendly), seems to trigger randomly while in VR and its annoying

[vale iron]

There was one bug regarding holstering that was fixed in the recent patches. If a Babscoole mod was updated in the past year and is EXML, it is 99% likely good to go

[coral gale]

hoping someone can make a mod to force a multitool with the Grav Coil to always use that model, I like it

[vale iron]

FF is working on something like that

[fresh arch]

not quite

[torpid hearth]

is there anyone who fixed the minotaur left frame arm yet? just asking

[vale iron]

Fixed it in what way?

[torpid hearth]

well, that module supposed to deal +400% laser damage to stunned targets. it doesnt working since singularity, i believe

[vale iron]

Ok, maybe ping back here in a few days. Not many of us have time to work on something new right now. Make sure you mention that damage thing so the next person knows what you are talking about

[remote galleon]

Is there way to remove space station teleporting from the game? Other than just not using them? 😂

[hearty wasp]

No

[remote galleon]

Ok, I know back in the day NMS didn’t have station portals. I thought there might be a mod or way to mod files to bring that back

[pseudo knoll]

you cannot simply mod out a logical function of the game, NMS modding is too limited for that

[remote galleon]

I’m not looking to mod them out. Just simply block their use for a fresh playthrough

[pseudo knoll]

yes and that is modding

since you will need to modify how it works

[remote galleon]

Ok wasn’t sure if it was possible or not. I know nothing about creating mods

I feel like the option to remove their use in difficult settings would be a nice option. That’s something for suggestions though. Thks for the info

[pseudo knoll]

that would be a good difficulty option, yeah

i agree with that

[fresh arch]

in theory you could remove the interaction component from the teleporters entity file

[remote galleon]

One simple change completely changes the way you play the game

[fresh arch]

make it just a prop with no interaction

[pseudo knoll]

hmmm, kinda sucks since you cant use them anymore but i guess that's whats desired anyways(?)

[remote galleon]

Ya I thought there might be a way?

Just to block. If they are functional the temptation is too strong 😂

I’m not looking to remove the portal model or anything just their functionality

if someone knows which file i can "modify" i would appreicate it. I don't think there would much more to it then that? But like i said, i know nothing about modding

[fresh arch]

you have the game files unpacked and decompiled?

[remote galleon]

Only installed on my PC if thats what you mean

[fresh arch]

guys i just installed nomnom save editor but i have no idea how it works any help is appreciated(i might not respond cause i have to get off in 5-10 mins)

[coarse wagon]

question, does goatfungus 1.19.14 work in this update? I tried it but it doesnt update the game and vice versa.

[fallow meadow]

You can check the NomNom Discord for specific info. In general you load a save, then check the tabs at the top to make changes to various things. Keep in mind there is also the ability to directly edit the save data (JSON), and a separate section for the Account Data

!nomnomlink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/nomnom-762409407488720918

[fallow meadow]

1.19.14?

[fallow meadow]

I assume you are using vector_cmdr version then?

[coarse wagon]

ngl not sure

[fallow meadow]

Ah yes, looks like that matches: https://github.com/vectorcmdr/NMSSaveEditor

[coarse wagon]

probably

[fallow meadow]

Should work the same as the original version. He just updated it further. You may see some warnings for missing mapping names, but otherwise it should still remain functional.

[coarse wagon]

i noticed the names for fossils and certain upgrades but ever since the update i havent been able to edit anything

[fallow meadow]

Can you go into some more detail on what exactly you are editing and how?

[coarse wagon]

i tried editting my exocraft to get some booster upgrades since i wasnt in the mood for getting them normally, and when i load up the game it's inventory is the same

[fallow meadow]

Ok, and you are adding those boosters through the regular UI, not through JSON edits?

[coarse wagon]

yes

[fallow meadow]

Ok, so you then save and when you load the game, it does not show the changes

[coarse wagon]

yes

[limpid valley]

Yo I play in swich 2 and my friends in pc I was wondering if they could play ver 6.2 with a code or smth

[fallow meadow]

@coarse wagon It could be the game does not quite like the changes made, and then loads the other save (either auto or manual save), so you do not see the change. Can you test by editing something really simple, a single stack size change perhaps?

[coarse wagon]

sure

[fallow meadow]

You both have to be on the same version. Your PC friend is likely ahead. You can check versions with the !NMSversions command in #nms-commands Downgrading version is not really advised though, so you may just have to wait

[limpid valley]

We are starting at 0, they are at 6.21 and me at 6.20

[coarse wagon]

alr it works-

i guess it just doesnt like exocraft then

also on the topic of goatfungus is there a newer version out?

[fallow meadow]

Apparently, but not sure what exactly is not right about the edit, but it does give a clue. You could try figure it out by checking the change made in JSON

[coarse wagon]

alr

[fallow meadow]

No newer version of goatfungus, still 19.0. while vectorcmdr is still on 19.14, which does not have the Remnant changes. Very likely this update changed exocraft

[coarse wagon]

makes sense ;-;

[fallow meadow]

I'd really suggest you wait to catch up on PC version, but this may take a bit as there are usually quite a few patches to follow a new content update

@limpid valley If anything, your PC friend could try force an older update if playing on Steam. They would have to look into something called 'SteamRE DepotDownloader'. Again, not recommended, but the only way I am aware of downgrading version

[limpid valley]

Alr thanks

[bright fable]

Im ngl, maybe I'm misunderstanding and everyone else is right, but isnt this what you're looking for?
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3621
(unsure if this works post Remnants, so ymmv)

If you want a middle-ground, this mod keeps Space Station Teleporters but makes them have an associated cost:
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/4062

You could also edit the station scene to remove the portals completely

[potent folio]

Is there by chance a multiplayer optimizer?

[solid hawk]

Not sure what you mean by optimizer. HGs netcode is quite lean, as synced data is minimal.

[restive belfry]

What are the limitations on modding this massive space game? Can I get mods for the starships?

[fresh arch]

in general, modding NMS fairly limited, boils down to tinkering with values of predefined parameters hosted in game files

we can not add new functionality, mechanics, variables, settings to the game, only tweak or reuse what HG already provides

nothing like script extender or any runtime thingy that would allow us to change things in real time

(not quite there are some attempts but still very much work in progress, nothing publicly available)

[hot ember]

Nexus isn't letting me sort collections by last updated and I'm not seeing anything updated for Remnant, assuming it's too early to expect mods to be updated but if anyone has a link or uses a collection that works save for a few mods that need to be disabled, I'd appreciate it as I'm not willing to go through the headache of doing 50/50 or read all the descriptions to figure it out
no, I don't need another reminder about installing collections or how using mod managers is not recommended, just a link to something that's working, if possible - my save is modded so I'd rather wait a week or two for mod updates rather than risk having broken worldgen or items disappear

[fresh arch]

there are only 2 collections I could vouch for, I dont know their status per se

but I wanna say that mod authors have been updating their mods right as the tooling become available

lots of updates available on Nexus, so I'd recommend checking them out, instead of assuming it's too early to expect anything

Are custom ship parts for corvette possible to mod

?

[hearty wasp]

Yes but very difficult

You're free to learn how to make them yourself if you have time to dedicate to it but don't expect anyone else to do it

[restive belfry]

can you get mods for starship? or that not possible? 🤔

[fresh arch]

you need to specify what you mean by "mods for starship"

there are mods that import custom models into the game

mods that change stats on vanilla technology modules

mods that add new texture options for fabricators

[restive belfry]

custom models. But I found those mods that have “unlocker..” thing.

[fresh arch]

what unlocker thing?

[restive belfry]

here; let me show ya rq

are these legit or just those placebo effects?

[fresh arch]

all legit

you get the same goodies as you would from expeditions they were part of

[restive belfry]

all those mods client sided? I would assume so since these are mods that I will be installing on my end

[fresh arch]

all NMS mods are local, modifying contents of game filed you have installed on your PC

[restive belfry]

alrighty, and if I had use those mods like the unlocker for the Starborn phoenix and use it. If I cross saved my steam to switch? It’s will appear as normal looking ship on that platform right?

[fresh arch]

you won't be able to cross save to Switch because of version mismatch

but yeah its the same ship as you'd get from the expedition

[final hazel]

The mod doesn't add the ship, it just adds an extra way of obtaining it

[restive belfry]

i see, and is it like client sided like FF said.

[bright fable]

yes, all mods are client side for NMS

[final hazel]

The mod is client side, so other players alongside you cannot make use of it's features (unlock the ship for themselves)

The ship is a ship that's in the vanilla game though, so the mod is not necessary for it to be visible once acquired by any means

[bright fable]

as grouch says, the mod just adds a different way to obtain the ship
the ship exists vanilla, so other players will see the ship if you have it set as your current/active starship

you'll also retain the ship if you unlock it and then remove the mod

[restive belfry]

i see 🤔

[restive belfry]

i have installed some mods and how do i access them in game? @final hazel

[final hazel]

Use the gestures, like the mod description says

[restive belfry]

i.. idk how to use gestures 🙏

[final hazel]

While on-foot, Quick Menu > Gestures

[restive belfry]

i pulled up the gesture menu and it doesnt work. does it has to be the specfic one?

[final hazel]

It's the one from the mod.

If it does not appear, you may have installed the mod incorrectly.

Refer to the mod troubleshooting guide here http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

[restive belfry]

i installed directly from and with the vortex mod manager

[final hazel]

Did you get a mod warning when booting the game?

[restive belfry]

yes

[final hazel]

Send a screenshot of your MODS folder, like this

[fresh arch]

http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

[fresh arch]

also recommended to stick to only newly released or recently updated mods from the last couple days

since we're after a major update that changed some things big time, you might run into issues running outdated mods

[final hazel]

Neither of those mods are those that use the gesture menu to activate the exchange menu for ships

[restive belfry]

then i will have to find other mods that has it?

[final hazel]

Has what?

Please specify what you want

[restive belfry]

gesture menu for these mods or wtv i have to get these to work.

[wispy marlin]

I hope someone makes a mod to elevate the colossus, even with mechanical legs it gets stuck easily, at the moment wheels work bit better.

[restive belfry]

one of the mods work for the S class ship to spawn in easier now! that good, but gotta figure our the gesture thing

[final hazel]

Again, neither of the mods you have installed make use of the Gestures menu

[restive belfry]

thats fine, i gotten one of the mods working. I will figure out that one when i can

[final hazel]

Read the Description tab of the mods you have installed to understand their function

or ask on their Posts tab

So I just want to say thank you to the modding community. You have made transporting scrap a heck of a lot easier and less stressful.

[small cradle]

I'm rather new to NMS. Do mods like Buy All Corvette Parts, the parts gained from them show up to other people?

[lunar moon]

Can someone recommend a mod for more control on building parts ? i need more precise control for accurate positionning, especially for building in corvette

[final hazel]

Yes, as the parts are in the vanilla game.

[small cradle]

also, i don't know if it is the mod or me

But it isn't working sadly, other say it works for them though

[final hazel]

You most likely installed the mod incorrectly

Did you get a mod warning on startup?

See the mod installation/troubleshooting guide here http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

I do not know what that means, though I assume it's related to Vortex

[small cradle]

I don't use vortex

[final hazel]

Well then I definitely don't know what "enable a deployment" means

[small cradle]

It comes up with the 'You are playing with mods' screen

[final hazel]

What is that in reference to?

[small cradle]

Just doesn't pop up in game, and I don't know why.

I really cba to grind out these corvette parts 😭

You placed it one folder too deep

Place the "Buy All Corvette Parts" folder inside of MODS

[small cradle]

OMDs thank you so much! I'm so dumb, haha!

[coral gale]

I kinda forgot how to properly install mods >.>

do it go like this, or do each mod put in separate folder?

[small cradle]

add a MODS folder under gamedata

if thats what ur asking

[coral gale]

it is in mods folder, but do the mods get separate folders under mods or will it work with the globals/metadata/models folder in the base mods folder?

[small cradle]

Basically, just unzip your mods

[final hazel]

Each mod goes in a separate folder

If this is what the inside of your MODS folder looks like, then it is very wrong due to that

[small cradle]

Like this

[final hazel]

each mod should have it's own folder, with the game's file structure inside of those individual mod folders

[coral gale]

thats what confused me, my brain didnt retain how to mod since its been so long since I have

[trail brook]

Does anyone know of a mod that would allow one to noclip through objects? theres a major bug with the purge questline, invisible wall blocking completion, figured something like noclip might at least be a bandaid fix

[vale iron]

What kind of wall?

[trail brook]

||when you go through the final portal and get teleported to the atlas, theres a "console" there where you initially interact with it, then, when you choose to reset the simulation, the atlas disappears, but the invisible wall where the console was remains present, and blocks you from progressing to the area where you're supposed to select your new galaxy type||

[vale iron]

Ah, I think that's in the experimental updates as a fix. I saw inaccurate collisions in Atlas Stations mentioned

[trail brook]

how would I go about downloading this experimental update?

[fresh arch]

but it's better to just wait for HG to release a proper public patch

[trail brook]

I have the game on gog unfortunately

[vale iron]

But in any case, that's not something we can easily add a mod fix for, I don't think

Oh, it might be in the latest update, because I don't see it in the expedition notes. I think GoG should get that update very soon

[trail brook]

yeah it may not work but if its just collision it might fix it

apparently its been a pretty common issue

[vale iron]

Hmm, I thought there was a 6.21.1

[trail brook]

yeah there is

https://www.nomanssky.com/2026/02/remnant-6-21-1/

[vale iron]

https://www.nomanssky.com/2026/02/remnant-6-21-1/

Oh yeah

[trail brook]

it does comment on atlas stations so idk

[vale iron]

It's on those notes

So should be fixed whenever GoG publishes that

[trail brook]

maybe its properly fixed and gog is just getting a delayed released

sad

[vale iron]

GoG is usually a day or so behind others, as they build custom installers

[trail brook]

hope they release it sometime today then, Ive been really looking forward to actually being able to engage with the content locked behind story completion

shit happens I suppose

[small cradle]

could anyone tell me some good mods to use for easier gameplay?

[deep frigate]

Is there a guide to show me how to replay past expeditions

steam btw

found it

[fresh arch]

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

[deep frigate]

Question
What happens to the saved expedition when the next one comes out
Will I just have to do the process again

[final hazel]

Nothing should happen

You only download the latest expedition data when online. Setting your game to offline/removing internet connection prevents this.

A new expedition releasing has no impact on your ability to go offline.

[deep frigate]

I can't find the mod cache for nms

thats for save files
im looking for mods folder

[final hazel]

Oh, I assumed you were trying to set up the expedition cache.
Browse your local files, go to GAMEDATA/MODS. If the MODS folder does not exist, create it. Further mod installation and troubleshooting info can be found at http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

[deep frigate]

I am looking to do that too but I am doing mod related stuff atm

[final hazel]

Just that there's no "mod cache", just a MODS folder

[deep frigate]

I assume naming it MODPS won't work
(Mistype when naming folder)

[pseudo knoll]

oh btw grouch those fonts pinned in this channel, since you made them are you fine with them being used in an (open-source, when it's finished) project? i would assume so, since they're pinned here for anyone to just take, but i want to ask just in case
i already intended on giving credit but i dont think you have a github

[final hazel]

I did not make any of them, I just corrected an error in one of the characters of one of the glyph fonts

[deep frigate]

alright time to see if it worked

[final hazel]

One of the glyphs' width was misaligned, it was wider than the rest

[pseudo knoll]

ohhh wait, is this the font the game uses?

[final hazel]

To my knowledge, you can use all of the fonts there for everything you wish

[deep frigate]

May or not be a starborn phoenix unlocker
🤫

[pseudo knoll]

is that why it's so good?

[deep frigate]

why is the mod warning so small

[pseudo knoll]

you and me both

[final hazel]

The futura one is directly used by the game. There's also another one that you can directly rip from your own install of the game that I think is public idk

[pseudo knoll]

well shit

i was thinking of using the regular NMS font for most of the app but i dont really want to step on any copyright toes

[final hazel]

I don't think it matters, but idk

[pseudo knoll]

surely glyphs would be fine for a hex -> icon converter though

[final hazel]

Many apps that exist already use all of the fonts

[pseudo knoll]

hmmm should be fine then i suppose

[final hazel]

That is what they are, yes

[pseudo knoll]

ye ik, i made a converter already just in my discord bot lmao

uses this server's emojis

[merry willow]

so I've been having issues with my main corvette, the camera and maneuverability seem to both be behaving as though it thinks the center of my ship is waaay far away from it, like the ship is gigantic. I've been looking through it's data in the save to see what could be causing it, and some parts have this kind of thing going on

        "Up":[
            999.9999974752428E-9,
            0.7436609864234924,
            0.0
        ],
        "At":[
            0.012357000261545182,
            -999.9999974752428E-9,
            -0.9999240040779114
        ]

Is this anything? (the fact that some of the values are 999, while it seems like they should all be unit vectors, I mean)
I'm hesitant to modify it too much in game, since I built it with glitches that have been patched out.

[fallow meadow]

The save data has nothing to do with camera placement/movement.
Is your ship very large? Any mods in use that affect the camera perhaps? I know some use mods to be able to properly fly a large custom made corvette. Maybe post a screenshot to show the view

@merry willow

I'm hesitant to modify it too much in game, since I built it with glitches that have been patched out.
Reading this does make me wonder if the origin of the base may be out of whack. Possibly due to the way you built it abusing a glitch(es)

[merry willow]

The ship is pretty small. it's also the only corvette that has this issue for me, so it has to be in the corvette's data somewhere. I don't have any camera mods, and I also play the same save on a device with no mods, same issues there.
I had a feeling that something's up with the base, but all I could see that seemed obviously strange was these giant vectors. I think if the origin of the base were messed up it would place the camera in the same spot every time, but it seems to pick a new one each time I boot up. Also the ship lands centred on the pad

[fallow meadow]

these giant vectors
Not actually all that giant when you see the E-9 at the end. They are all normallised vectors (values between -1 to 1)

More likely the position vector of objects that may be incorrect?

If you can, make a backup of your saves. I can take a look at the base data if you wish?

Can you show an image? So I get a better idea of the issue at hand

[merry willow]

😅 geez you're right. I didn't see any crazy values for positions, which is what I was originally looking for. that's what made me zero in on these. That said, base json is pretty long, I could easily have missed something.

[fallow meadow]

I think if the origin of the base were messed up it would place the camera in the same spot every time, but it seems to pick a new one each time I boot up. Also the ship lands centred on the pad
I agree, this is odd indeed

[merry willow]

I'll get the pic/json, thanks for taking a look!

[fallow meadow]

Sure, no problem

[fallow meadow]

Looks ok at first glance

[fallow meadow]

The image you provided shows it at the freighter spot. Can you provide an image where you are flying it with the camera misplaced as you described?

[merry willow]

oh yeah, for sure. that makes sense

[fallow meadow]

Also, do you have multiplayer enabled, maybe playing in a group?

[merry willow]

it isn't that bad right now, sometimes it has the camera so far away that I can't see the corvette, even if I go into photo mode and look around for it. Multiplayer's on, nobody's around. turning it off made no difference.

[fallow meadow]

Does switching back/forth between 1st/3rd person view help?

And how about some of the base stat values? Made changes to those, any weird or large values, possibly from mods?

Considering those values work in tandem with the tech installed, it could possibly have different effect depending on the ship in use. Just sort of guessing at this point.

The image is still quite a ways off, expecting the view to be right behind, not that far down and to the left

[merry willow]

the maneuverability in game was like 4000 before the update 😅 the value jumps up to something reasonable if I go into the corvette editor and quit out, but it doesn't seem to reflect in the actual handling of the ship

[pseudo knoll]

this has happened to me with a vanilla corvette

it used to just show like 3k manu

then i'd restart and itd be normal again lmao

[fallow meadow]

The base stats look ok to me

[merry willow]

I actually have an earlier version of the corvette that doesn't have the issue that I copied out of an expedition. I've tried removing any parts that are different between them, but it doesn't fix it.

[fallow meadow]

So maybe the difference is with the part of the data unrelated to the looks? How about the ownership and all that??

Are you 'Pizza' or is that part of what you copied?

[merry willow]

The regular starship data? I'll double check, but I think it's all identical. I'm pizza on steam

[fallow meadow]

It's likely not an issue anyway.
How about the data for ShipOwnership > [3]

That should be a BIGGS reference for a ship (Corvette), maybe some awkward data there?

It will contain the base stats too. Anythign special done with tech, or supercharging additional slots?

[merry willow]

I did double check. they're not actually identical. So far it just looks like the tables are in a different order, but i didn't pour over it just yet. I wonder if I could retarget the bases between the new and old one

[fallow meadow]

I am merely guessing at this point though. All appears to look fine to me.

[merry willow]

nothing in that regard that's different from the older one without issues. I used the old glitch that lets you remove required modules to get some dead-weight corevette tech out in place of more useful stuff

[fallow meadow]

I honestly do not see anything out of the ordinary at a quick glance

[fallow meadow]

All I can suggest is to possibly fully replace both the Ship data and the base data with the working one. Perhaps you overlooked something

[merry willow]

I was afraid of that 😅 thanks for your effort though.

[fallow meadow]

Other than that, if mods are disabled and nothing else really done, I'd report it and provide your save data, explaining the issue in detail

[wide stump]

is there any mod that allows you to exceed the limit building on corvettes for the remmenant version?

i have Corvette No Complexity Limit but it doesnt work in this version

[final hazel]

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

[final hazel]

Then you installed it incorrectly. Refer to http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

[vale iron]

@merry willow If the camera placement is changing randomly, that sounds like something in the EXE is bugged, not in your corvette. If it were because of bad data, I would expect the same weird camera placement every time

[wide stump]

this helped, thank youu

[merry willow]

Yeah, that's what made me question those floats at first, since I could see a fpp issue causing non-deterministic stuff like that. I feel like the exe is kind of ruled out by the fact that I get the same issue on two devices, but I'll have steam verify files just to be sure

[vale iron]

The game may not handle those scientific notations well. Could round those off and see if it helps

[deep frigate]

Any cool mods I should check out

[carmine surge]

Any mod for building work after updates?

[final hazel]

All of them should, as nothing relating to building was changed

[carmine surge]

Anyone have .pak of Exosolar's and Babs' Beyond Base Building?

[final hazel]

For what version of the game?

Specifying which specific legacy version of the game you are playing is necessary for this, unless you want to just use the lua script

If you did not know, .pak files are not read by modern versions of No Man's Sky for mods, since the Worlds Part II update on Jan 29 2025. An up-to-date guide on how to install mods can be found here http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

but this is extremely unimportant, as most mods after jan 29 2025 that don't contain MBIN files are fully version intercompatible

[carmine surge]

6.04 is newest in files. Try these?

[final hazel]

Newest for what? Beyond Base Building's latest version was built for 6.20, but again that barely matters as it contains 0 .MBIN files

[carmine surge]

I can't find that one. Can you send me file on priv mate?

[final hazel]

It's... the only file available.

[carmine surge]

Maybe I do something wrong in game

You build on standard "z"

?

[final hazel]

Huh? Yes, the default button to open the build menu is Z...

[carmine surge]

Then I don't know what is f... up. I have warning about mods in first try when i download and delete folder from binaries

Still no additional furnitures

On freighter

[final hazel]

Send a screenshot of the inside of your MODS folder

Like this #nms-modding message

Extracted

[final hazel]

As the troubleshooting guide says, that folder is one level too deep

Take the folder inside of that, and place it in MODS

[carmine surge]

O

That's solve problem xD

Lowkey stupid

Thanks friend

Anyways

It's to safe play this mod daily?

Yes

"Cool", as all things with mods, is subjective. Cool for you may be anathema to others and vice versa.

With NMS and mods, you do you.

Example, one of my favorite mods in called Anti-Phobias. I don't use it, as I don't need to, but allows some people to play the game who otherwise would not be able to. Now that's Cool!!!! 🙂

[carmine surge]

Any acutal mod what can make living messages around buildings in freighter? I wanna make story of every block/tavern

And write this to others

[final hazel]

We have Message Modules in the vanilla game, but those are very limited

[carmine surge]

Limited and don't work on freighter

Even with mod

Glitch maybe

[cinder valley]

moding station broken right now? doesn't extract pcbanks

Not just right now, has been for a very long time. Will not ever be updated, it's dead.

[cinder valley]

meh, my mods can die then lol

like i have no idea how to do anything without it

You can extract the .paks using HGPAKTool or NMSPE (which comes with AMUMSS)

Then can use WinMerge or NPP ComparePlus plugin to do compares

Is their a simple menu or trainer to download for no mans sky?

[brazen pollen]

I'm hoping someone knows if there's a mod:

..to make water clear from the air, or non-existent..?
..or, that can locate/mark every building (or a single type of building) on a Planet..?
..or, that could find a particular underwater Flora..?

These are three ways i could locate a lost item under the water on a Planet that i can think of, so please let me know, tyvm!

[final hazel]

Define "lost item", like an object that you placed?

Objects that you have placed are defined in your save file, you could find precise coordinates to them using a save editor (though I'm not sure how these coordinates could be made human-readable or if they could be used to reposition yourself to them etc)

[brazen pollen]

Ty for your inquiry, by "lost" i mean i lost the coords to a item's location that i could identify if seen again, not an placed item per se, but an actual in-game item.. It has no marker.., i could find if i could locate all buildings bc i'd search nearby at each one.., or plants, bc it was near a particular plant..

I found a hover mod, and a clear water mod, any other possible mods please ping me here, tyvm in advance!! 🙂

Just found a Larger Flora Mod, hope it works for underwater..!! 🙂

Q.. The Mod - Transparent Water is a .PAK file all by itself (no folder), it mentions the old PCBANKS install location for MODS, how is this mod installed..? Do i just put it in MODS ..?

[vale iron]

You don't. It's out of date and won't work

Anything with a .pak file won't work

[vale iron]

https://www.nexusmods.com/games/nomanssky/collections/7qowkp

[brazen pollen]

TYVM Gumsk! Any particular recommendation for water visability..?

[vale iron]

I don't know that there's much in the way of water shaders, since they are fairly new and a bitch to work with

[brazen pollen]

..possible water remover, lol.. ??

[vale iron]

It's possible I'm sure, but I don't think anyone has done it since it would be such a niche mod

[brazen pollen]

I found a few in your compilation i'll try ty, like Brighter Sunlight, that may make seeing thru water happen.. 🙂

[solid hawk]

None of your three suggestions will work now.

As far as water goes, a bit over a year ago, HelloGames completely revamped how water color is done. Very heavy usage of Vulkan Shaders now, especially on the surface, with reflections.

Those changes completely killed all water color mods.

I'm the only one who's been trying to actively fix, for my Abyss mod.

I've made significant inroads, but mostly affects sub-surface now. Reflections on the surface are ALL shader, which is extremely difficult to change without breaking things.

When you see the mod called Abyss updated, you'll know I've cracked it. Been working on the shaders on and off for about 7 months.

No means of scanning for a specific flora (or fauna), the game "code" doesn't allow for this. Same thing with showing all iterations of X on a planet at once. A) X doesn't exist until spawned B) With a type of flora or common building, that number of markers would crash the game.

With NMS we don't get to mod what we want, it's closer to we can mod what we're allowed.

It would be easier to mod no water

[brazen pollen]

I see, tyvm for explaining all that to me, i guess hovering, and extending the day, adding more Sun light, removing dust fog & storms, and time & luck will have to suffice.. 🙂 And, this is a one-off thing anyhow.. 🙂

[solid hawk]

Hope you find the thing you lost. I've been there and done that myself.

[brazen pollen]

Hmm.. It seems No Dust and No Fog are not working, cannot tell about more Sunlight, Bigger Plants also doesn't seem working on land or water.., water is the same..

Why isn't this working..? I reduced it to one mod, still nada..

[final hazel]

And you have tried deleting the file BINARIES/SETTINGS/GCMODSETTINGS.MXML?

I sent you the link to the installation/troubleshooting guide (http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550), the fact that you still faced issues made me assume you had followed the troubleshooting steps.

Deleting GCMODSETTINGS.MXML is the third troubleshooting step in that document.

[vale iron]

Finally updated! Down from 4300+ lines to about 220, and very little of that is actual script.

[junior schooner]

is there a way to write a mod with a custom shader for the skybox?

[vale iron]

Yes, but it's not easy and I'm 99% sure you'll give up

[junior schooner]

oh ok

[fair narwhal]

dont be like that

encourage them to try

you encouraged ME to try or at least i think you did

to try modding or maybe you didnt

maybe you would have told me hell no

[short mural]

Aight so I just discovered i can mod this game. Do I need a mod manager and how do I do this mod stuff as ive only used steam workshop

[pseudo knoll]

shaders are hell

[fair narwhal]

i wish everyone could mod

[fresh arch]

you don't need mod manager, just unzip copy paste files

all active mod authors publish their stuff on Nexus Mods

[vale iron]

I didn't encourage you to try creating a custom shader

[fresh arch]

http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

[short mural]

Do I need to create a folder for everything to download to then?

[vale iron]

I've been doing this six years and last week I looked at the shaders again and immediately said "nope, I still ain't touching this shit"

[fair narwhal]

you didnt encourage me period but headcanon you did encourage me to keep modding (my memory is bad)

[fresh arch]

read this article to get started, covers installing mods and basic troubleshooting

[short mural]

Ah ok thanks

[vale iron]

Go open an SPV file and tell me what you want to change

[fair narwhal]

plus i dong give a sjit about shaders

[vale iron]

He asked about creating a custom shader and I gave him an honest answer

[fair narwhal]

i dont know why im like this man

probably the adderall

[fair narwhal]

my irl friend said he would actually give a shit what i do if i added custom models to the game, and i cant yet deliver on that

i know fuckall about blender

[vale iron]

It's not easy, but it's doable with patience, once NMSDK exporting is updated

[sterile island]

what does modding do in this game like what do the mods consist of?

[fair narwhal]

either improvements, or chaos

im the chaos one

[vale iron]

Usually simple static value changes. More complicated things can be done, somewhat, but we're fairly limited.

Just take a look at Nexus Mods and you'll get an idea

[short mural]

I wanna have access to items and just add a little more fun to it, what mods do yall recommend

[vale iron]

Consumerism and possibly Communism

Beyond that, "fun" is very subjective

Enjoyable Quicksilver, probably

[fair narwhal]

fun to me is breaking the game

[fresh arch]

go to Nexus Mods, browse through newly released or recently updated mods, pick what strikes your fancy

[sterile island]

visual improvments?

[fresh arch]

mods are highly subjective plus after a major update some might be outdated and cause issues in game

[fair narwhal]

im an issue

but nothing to be concerned about

thankfully im not malicious with mods

[vale iron]

Some can be done, yeah

Crescent Worlds is a good one for that

[fair narwhal]

gumsk , be real with me , i annoy the hell out of you dont i ?

eh doesnt matter

the keys to the kingdom are mine and mine to do anything i want with

nothings gonna stop me

[vale iron]

Trust me, some of my friends have been far more annoying than you 🙂

If there's nothing malicious in someone's actions, I try to not be bothered

[fair narwhal]

i like to be a ufo/anomaly

literally

onlt thing i dont have is changing my playermodel to a classic alien ship

this game doesnt have a ton of classic 60s or 50s type starships

[fair narwhal]

some friends eh?@ what are they junkies?

cus i am a former junkie kinda

yeah i switched back to regular notepad why not

[short mural]

I got tired of trying to figure out how to do it manually and downloaded the manager lmao

Damn it was that simple how amazing

@merry willow I just learned something new. Can you check your Corvette build for one or both of the following items and remove them:

@patent fog No, there is no way to get a freighter using the normal features of a save editor. Technically it would be possible to add one through JSON editing, but this is not recommended as there are various game mechanics involved to reach that point properly. Just get one as soon as you are able to, following the quests/storyline. Can purchase an NPC freighter in space soon enough, or for free from a battle. Use !faq-freighter in #nms-commands

To add, you can adjust game difficulty/settings to make things easier/free if you wish. Once you do own one, you can change it if you wish

[patent fog]

Oh I see thanks man appreciate it

[bright fable]

I know someone already requested this on Nexus, but adding the Waste Processing Plant Furnaces/Disposals as Base Assets would be so cool - especially being able to merge them onto a Corvette and not being reliant on planet RNG for how far you gotta haul 🤔

[empty trail]

Would it be possible for a mod to make the minotaur AI only use the minotaur cannon?

[shut beacon]

How does one edit in the aeron parts from the expedition that we missed?

I heard that the modding community has a safe way of doing so

[half turtle]

Okay so this was my first expedition where I needed mods, I've never needed to mod no man's sky before.

Should this minor patch cause any issues with no man's sky? I only have mods that raise the walls on my Colossus, affect the scrap movement and Colossus headlights.

I know that major patches can mess up mods

[solid hawk]

Maybe, maybe not. Can't say until people try and report.

[half turtle]

Okay, thank you.

[solid hawk]

Are you going to teach him how to work with shaders in NMS, because there's exactly NO ONE to do so. ZERO information or guidance on how to get started, tools to use, what to look for. NONE.

[fair narwhal]

Uhhhh I don't remember saying that

[fair narwhal]

No I'm not , and I was 2digit IQ to say so

[solid hawk]

If something is not possible, we're going to tell the person that. Not about trying or encouragement. It's about giving a realistic assessment based on realities.

[brazen pollen]

@solid hawk (Um, not trying to interrupt too much here..) Did you see my Mod note about Smoke & Ash on Nexus..?

[fair narwhal]

Idk why I jumped the gun to reply to this one

[solid hawk]

Not yet, just woke up a short time ago. Holiday for me, so I slept in a bit.

I'll get there shortly though

[brazen pollen]

NP.. 🙂

[fair narwhal]

Babs I must have had too much to drink last night

What was I rambling about holy

[solid hawk]

Will be in next update of Ultra Base Building

[bright fable]

speaking of UBB - what version would you recommend grabbing off the Nexus page?
I already rock BBB and a couple isolated "base asset" mods 👀

[solid hawk]

If using BBB, just use the regular UBB, not the Unlimited one

[bright fable]

thats what I thought, and tried, yesterday but was getting a CTD as soon as I opened the Build Menu

😔

[solid hawk]

I'll upload a bit later today. Will be in the UBB-OTHER-I Tab, in BUILDINGS category. You'll see Incinerator, then can expand and see the other scrap yard stuff I added

[solid hawk]

Think I maybe see why. HG added a few new properties in 6.20, but then removed them for 6.21

Working on correcting that now

[bright fable]

'sall good - I'll wait patiently 😁👍

[solid hawk]

Placed on the corvette roof

[bright fable]

Hell yeah

[hearty blade]

Huh... I don't remember there being an annoying flashing light in the cockpit of a Corvette by the seat.

[solid hawk]

I just checked on a low atmosphere planet and clear as a bell. By chance are you running any BIOME mods? Like Biome Randomizer that would put volcanic stuff on these planets, which wouldn't be there in vanilla.

[lost hinge]

To disable mods do you just remove them from the MODS folder?

[final hazel]

Yes

or go into the GCMODSETTINGS.MXML file and set DisableAllMods to true or simply disable individual mods there

[lost hinge]

I haven't played in like a year, would running the save without mods affect it not booting up with mods? I updated all the ones that have updates etc.

[solid hawk]

Although making changes to GCMODSETTINGS.MXML is the more difficult route to take

[solid hawk]

Nope, but if there's non-updated in there, that would cause issues.

[brazen pollen]

I was running a few Mods to clear the air & water, no matter the combo i got smoke & ash.., i will try with just those two Mods and if i still get smoke & ash i'll send you the glyphs.. ..or i can just DM you the glyphs in advance..?

[merry willow]

I logged in today to check on that since I do have one of those parts on my ship, and it turns out the patch today fixed it 😅
I learned a few things about how corvettes are handled by the game though, so at least the effort wasn't wasted. Thank you for keeping an eye out!

[lost hinge]

I got lucky, as seemingly found the broken mod(s) in the 1st half of culling. Now to pinpoint.

[fallow meadow]

Good to know your issue got resolved. Do however keep an eye out on parts like that being used. There has been some discussion about it in the tool's Discord (link in pins).

[merry willow]

I'll check it out next time I break something or need to do a strange edit, it's probably a good place for that kind of information

I noticed while i was struggling that all the parts on the corvette (and any base) have a timestamp, so I think that's probably how the game decides priority for corvette tech when there's not enough slots available for it all. I have a feeling I can use that to make the game let me remove the photon cannon

[fallow meadow]

I am not sure how it iterates over the parts to apply as Tech, but could well be it takes them in order in case there are more than allowed. To figure things out, trial and error is the way to go for sure.
To add, I seem to recall this is only done upon initial creation though, not during edits after

[solid hawk]

Yeah, glyphs and galaxy would be good

[merry willow]

Back when you could still do it, I deleted the cockpit and all the hab modules from my corvette, then filled up all the slots before replacing them which let me use other more useful tech in their place. I've had to be careful editing my corvette since then, since a mistake would bring them back. I've noticed that it seems to be the parts placed least recently that get priority for tech slots. I wasn't sure how the game kept track of that before though. I'm guessing it's either the timestamp or the absolute placement of the part in the base json. I'll have to mess around with it and see what I can do

[empty trail]

Would it be possible for a mod to make the minotaur AI only use the minotaur cannon and none of the other equipped weapons

[fresh arch]

in theory yes, there seems to be a SelectionWeight property for each weapon module for the mech in GCVEHICLEGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN

ex. terrain manipulator has it set to 0, so maybe you could try setting it for all other weapons

[empty trail]

Oh cool

Um how would one go about doing that

[fresh arch]

decompiling the game files, finding the file and making a mod for it

http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

this guide has info how to get started with unpacking and decompiling game files

[empty trail]

Thanks!

[lunar moon]

Great ! i was looking for a file like this
I've never mod in my life and i installed blender today, however i can't manage to import file in blender, do you have a tutorial for that ?
i already have amumss and mbincompiler
My goal is to import a base buiiding parts ( any will do, even a wall ), make a modification ( even a basic one ) create a mod to add that specific parts in the form of a mod

Or is it impossible on no man's sky ?

[hearty wasp]

Unpack the game and use NMSDK

[lunar moon]

yes i have nmsdk, however when you say unpack the game....you mean all the files ? all the pcbank data ?

so far i've only unpacked a few files to see if i can open them in blender..so far no success

If you have any tuto or video that show the whole process, that would be awesome

[solid hawk]

Current version of NMSDK doesn't work with NMS 6.2x. There is an Alpha version, BUT a lot of stuff will still not work right. Work in Progress.

[lunar moon]

Due to the recent update ?

[solid hawk]

Yes

Big changes with GEOMETRY for models

[lunar moon]

Any idea how i can practice even if it's stay on blender and never make a mod ? it's really just to practice

[solid hawk]

Guessing, and only a guess, two weeks or so before fully fixed up and released version of NMSDK

[lunar moon]

Alright, that's ok i can wait
Bu while the NMSDK need updating, any idea where i can find a tutorial so i can prepare when the new plug in is ready ?

[solid hawk]

Alpha is available here: #994078792932929546 message

Works with Blender 5.01

[lunar moon]

yes i'm on 5.0.1

[solid hawk]

Once installed, set your PCBANKS directory here:

[lunar moon]

Thanks for the invitation

[solid hawk]

Then

Last mentioned, yesterday, viewing unpacked files is still broken. Can only import what's in the game .paks

That's the tutorial 🙂

[lunar moon]

what do you mean by that ? i copy the full pc bank file ?

Somehow i'm missing a piece

yeah ok i'm an idiot...

Thanks a lot for the tutorial 🙂

And i see that you can also add the unpacked folder, is it advised to have a copy of all the pcbank unpacked ?

[hearty wasp]

yes all of them if you can

[lunar moon]

so basically using hgpaktool on all of them ? that will take a while

but ok i'll try that tomorrow

[cobalt condor]

When the NMSDK update is finished, you wont need to have unpacked files anymore because it will be able to access the files from the .paks directly. The alpha version can't even use the unpacked files right now, only the raw paks

[lunar moon]

So, basically i've just picked the worst moment to get on blender for NMS ? 🤣

[azure olive]

How do you import corvettes via NomNom? This is what I got when I tried to import a Blender (BIN) file:

[solid hawk]

You will if using custom models. 🙂

[cobalt condor]

You mean custom models referencing vanilla data? Wouldn't it still be able to pull the relevant files from the paks, or am I missing something?

[solid hawk]

No it won't at least not for a good long while.

Because custom models have to be in the same relative path as the vanilla files they are referencing

[cobalt condor]

right, I see

[solid hawk]

Can be done, but would require a fair amount redone from scratch. Don't think we'll have dev focus for that long, this go.

[cobalt condor]

I mean, if you aren't trying to import custom models it wouldn't matter

just keep the blend files around to reexport

[solid hawk]

We'll have to see how it goes, because the deciding authority is a committee of one. 🙂

[brazen pollen]

Does anyone know if there's a Mod that specifically allows searching for Observatories from a StarShip roaming across a Planet..? Looking at Auto Scanner Plus, but it says it locates a whole slew of things..

[solid hawk]

No mod for just observatories, but take a look at https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2144. Make not work currently though, until updated

[rapid sandal]

Yes, nmsmb has 2 ways: one will create a map specifically for observatories (and any other items you want), and the other will give a marker as you fly over the planet.

[shut beacon]

in the nomnom save editor where can i find the expedition 20 breach that way i can unlock it onto my account?

[round sinew]

see this pinned post

@shut beacon ignore instructions talking about DISABLEMODS.TXT that's not used anymore

[shut beacon]

oooohhh

[round sinew]

read this pinned post <#nms-modding message>

[shut beacon]

ok yeah ill just use vortex haha

i dont wanna make a mistake

[brazen pollen]

Hi CMK..! In my ignorance idnk how to USE NMSModBuilder, how simple would it be to do what you are saying, with no prior experience..?

[brazen pollen]

TY Babscoole, as mentioned I tried ASP, but it made me repeatedly press the scan button (tiring) and was unspecific, better than i could do though.. However, i just found Better Buildings Scans - BBS and will try that mod now to see if it is better for my problem..

[shut beacon]

I still gotta pay for them with quicksilver lmao 😭

well atleast its there ig

[round sinew]

there's an addon to make it free

[shut beacon]

oh man i keep missing things

its the communism addon yes?

[round sinew]

i think so yeah, it's mentioned in consumerism's page iirc

[shut beacon]

im dying 😭

thank you so much it worked

now i can use the aeron parts

[half turtle]

So I don't know if it was caused by a mod, but 2x today, my Colossus ran off on its own after I exited.

I think I had 15-20 pieces of scrap in it.

Hasn't done it in the incerator

Btw, mod suggestion: A combo incinerator truck bed. The incinerator is great, but it can't really deal with the large pieces.

[junior schooner]

is there an updated answer?

[hearty wasp]

prolly not

[hearty wasp]

no

[junior schooner]

👍

[keen niche]

is there a mod that lets you replay previous expeditions?

i really want previous expeditions rewards but going in the files thingy to get them doesnt give you the satisfying feeling of earning them

[final hazel]

The pins of this channel describe a way to do this, though this doesn't really involve mods https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/

[keen niche]

seems kinda complicated

[final hazel]

it's far simpler than installing mods, just one file

and setting Steam to offline mode (or fully disconnecting from the internet on other platforms possibly)

[keen niche]

i need to do that when doing it?

[final hazel]

Yes, it is described in the directions for it

If the game is online, it will detect that the current expedition data is incorrect and replace it

[keen niche]

alright ill look at it thanks

[bright fable]

unfortunately still CTD with the new version when opening the Build Menu 😔

[solid hawk]

From the screenshots, works for me, there is no experimental build right now, so we're both on 6.22 public. Don't know what to tell you then. Something goofy on your end that isn't on mine. If Issue isn't happening for me, not much I can do. Interaction with some other mod, a corrupt file, 🤷‍♂️

[bright fable]

Feel like I've overlooked an obvious instruction 😅 😔

these are the mods I have installed, dunno if you spot any obvious issues

Everything works until I try to add UBB and open the Build Menu

[unkempt locust]

Hey folks, is there a mod (or mods) to get rid of the "streaks" and "dust particles" in flight?

I'd have an easier time searching for the mods if I knew the proper words for these effects, I think, lmao. 😂

[vale iron]

Search for CSO I think, or speedlines

[unkempt locust]

omfg I could kiss you on the facehole

Thank you so much ❤️

[vale iron]

Hehe no problem

There are like four different components

[unkempt locust]

I modded back in, uhh, oh gods, 2020? 2021? I used AMUMSS or whatever.

So hopefully I can still figure this out. :panic:

[vale iron]

I use reduced speed lines, no metrics, no space dust, and maybe a plasma one

It's much easier now

#nms-modding message

If you want to read about the modern modding system

Goodness gravy biscuits, you are so helpful! Thank you so much!!! ❤️

[young dew]

Hey I’m trying to mod my ship damage can I use something on nexus to help

[solid hawk]

Remove UBB and see what this does

[bright fable]

Doesnt crash, but cant find them in the Build Menu either

[bright fable]

Yeah, dont have that tab at all either - I'm guessing BuildFrame is also not working right for me 😩

'pprciate ya trying to help tho 🙏

[solid hawk]

May just want to try

1. Game file verify
2. Delete GCMODSETTINGS.MXML

In that order

Also, I did update this,#nms-modding message , so may want to redownload. Not sure if you grabbed it before or after I updated. Only change was icon for the tab

[bright fable]

I tried both versions you sent lol

(independently ofc, not at same time)

[solid hawk]

kk

[rapid sandal]

Hmmm, hard to say. NMSMB comes with two scripts in the cmk project related to what you want: Scan_Auto and Starcharts. You would copy both those .cs files and drop in a new project folder in the nmsmb/scripts/mod/ folder e.g. nmsmb/scripts/mod/CoreScan/.
The Scan_Auto script start with:

public class Scan_Auto : cmk.NMS.Script.ModClass
{
    public bool EnableShelter           = false;
    public bool EnableAbandoned         = false;
    public bool EnableRadioTower        = false;
    public bool EnableFactory           = false;
    public bool EnableObservatory       = false;
    public bool EnableShop              = false;
    public bool EnableOutpost           = false;

You would change the EnableObservatory = true;
The Starcharts one you could just leave as is.
In nmsmb select the project folder in the Mods tab, click Compile All. Then in the Build tab click Execute then Save. Should take a couple seconds to gen the mod. Note that it only creates mbin mods, not the newer exml mods. You could use mbincompiler to convert the mod mbins to mxml then generate a diff against the game versions of the mbins (mxml's) and manually create exml's.

[brazen pollen]

Tyvm! I'd definitely be stalled wo this starting walkthrough, i'll give it a try asap..!! Btw, does it repeat the scan over-and-over, or does "auto" mean doing something else..?

[serene oxide]

If my friend on pc has a mod, can i as a console player join them or will there be an issue because I can't use mods?

[final hazel]

#nms-modding message You can join them just as you could before

[rapid sandal]

The starchart one just makes starcharts you can buy that only find specific targets. The auto-scan one is always working and as you fly over a planet whatever ones you enabled (made true) will have markers displayed when you get within about 1200-2000 units distance (max possible). So if you want to find one on the planet use a starchart, if you just want to fly around and find them use the auto-scan. I created them initially to help find crashed ships to salvage.

[hard warren]

guys does anyone know how to get "project potato" mod to work? it says i have to copy one of the files into the GAMEDATA\PCBANKS folder. i copied one and i dont see any difference. tried with vortex but still no difference

[final hazel]

Mods that were last updated before Jan 29 2025 do not work with the current game.

Also, the MODS folder now goes in GAMEDATA/MODS, not PCBANKS/MODS

See http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550 for up-to-date mod installation and troubleshooting info.

[hard warren]

do you know any similar performance mods?

[final hazel]

There are basically none, besides one that removes grass for a very small performance gain. What you seek can best be reached by lowering Display & Graphics options.

[hard warren]

i tried but its no difference for some reason. sometimes the game runs 50+ fps and another time it runs 15fps at the same spot so i dont understand what's wrong

i tried monitoring it with msi afterburner overlay and its the same consumption

[vale iron]

That sounds like either multiplayer or a background process

Turn off multiplayer if you haven't

[brazen pollen]

Tyvm sir! 🙂

[arctic plinth]

hello, i never got into nms mods, may someone introduce me to the most important mods and stuff?

[sterile island]

i= am confused about 1 thing lets say i add a mod will that completely remove multiplayer off my game

[fresh arch]

there is no "most important mods", modding is subjective

browse Nexus Mods, sort by recently updated or newly released mods, pick what strikes your fancy

mods that were not updated past January 2025 will not work, that's when HG reworked the modding system entirely

http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550 - read this guide to get started

[sterile island]

what mod should i download to increase graphics

[proper citrus]

what are some mods people would recommend? not looking for anything specific, just mods people enjoy or are so used to they couldnt go back to playing without it, dont want to really comb through youtubes new search algorithm to find any top x lists now that you cant even sort by date anymore and its purely what the ai wants you to watch

[fresh arch]

Just scroll up the chat and see my previous post

[proper citrus]

this one or?

[fresh arch]

I meant from here: #nms-modding message

[proper citrus]

oh, as i said, im not looking for anything specific, just wanted to know what mods people enjoy here

[soft zodiac]

Save editor hasnt been updated. Ive had to replay the expedition to get the stuff

[shut beacon]

yooo its all good because the mod that the person provided was awesome :D

thanks bk201

no mans sky wth these things should be acquirable by making them super expensive or something 😩

[bright fable]

#nms-modding message

[proper citrus]

exactly what i was asking about, thanks for the suggestions!

[bright fable]

There are also a handful of Colossus mods that will massively improve your time in the current Expedition, if thats something you're after - I just haven't tried them out myself enough to recommend any specifically

[proper citrus]

i have already done the expo, but i did see the higher walls for the flatbed mod that i might add anyway

[empty trail]

Mostly a ton of QoL mods that make my life a lot easier, mainly from Grouch's modpack which you can find here: https://www.nexusmods.com/games/nomanssky/collections/ixxnzr

Some of these may be broken because they're not updated, so be careful if you decide to download them all

I also have the minotaur movement mod and all exocraft slots supercharged (edited just to affect the minotaur) mods so I can turn my minotaur into a gundam 🤑🤑

[proper citrus]

XD

thanks!

[empty trail]

Also the Corvette technology fix mod or whatever it's called that gets rid of the photon cannon on corvettes if you don't have it installed... That one is so nice

[solid hawk]

Again, mods are completely subjective. What I may like, you would hate and vice versa. As such there are no must have mods. Just look through https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/newrecently and see what appeals to you. 🙂

[empty trail]

agreed

[solid hawk]

Just depends how YOU want to play, because with NMS there is no one way to play the game.

[empty trail]

so true

[bright fable]

No AutoLadders is a must have ☝️😏
(ofc subjective, but I cant imagine anyone enjoys the forced lock-on)

[proper citrus]

so i worded my request the way i did for a reason, didnt say must have once, i was simply asking what people like

[sterile island]

what mod should i download to increase graphics\

[bright fable]

thats... not really a thing?
Like, there are a handful of texture replacers I've seen that provide higher res textures for specific assets, but nothing that comprehensively increases graphics across the entire game

there are a few mods that subjectively alter the look of planets, space, etc. - but idk if thats what you're after

[sterile island]

okay well then what mods should i download

[bright fable]

outside of that, ReShade would really be the only thing to "improve" the look of the game afaik

[sterile island]

any recommendation on mods in general

[bright fable]

#nms-modding message

[solid hawk]

#nms-modding message

[sterile island]

is the better nms mod good or does it add to much

[solid hawk]

Subjective. You have to decide that for yourself, based on what you want.

For some it's just right, others too much, others not enough.

Example, currently I'm running ~170 mods for NMS. More than many, less than some.

[hearty wasp]

just get the piss mod

[solid hawk]

All of which are to change something specific that I want to see changed, not arbitrarily based on someone elses recommendation for something I don't do\see\use in-game.

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1890

[sterile island]

are any of u familiar with RenoDx mod

[solid hawk]

Asking for general or best mods to use is a road to an unhappy modding experience. If you ask more specifically, like what are good mods to change something specific, like spy colkors, for example, that's when you'll be good targetted recommendations.

That's a reshade, not actually a mod technically. Few use the reshades. Being a 3rd party software overlay, can incur a performance hit.

[proper citrus]

what if i just want to know what people like so i can pick and choose anything they say that i might want?

[oblique turtle]

Hi, anyone else experiencing clipping through the settlement floor, and not being able to interact with the trader as there is no buttons on the right of the screen to choose from?

a glitch with the last patch update?

[bright fable]

you're in the wrong channel my guy, #nms-questions

[oblique turtle]

ok thanks

[solid hawk]

Because you'll mosy likely not hear about some that would be perfect for you, as opposed to just looking at what's available. 🙂 everybody plays different.

[proper citrus]

how are you going to say everyone plays different then in the same sentence demand everyone conform to your ideal method of finding mods?

[solid hawk]

Only been doing this for 9+ years. You do you.

[proper citrus]

i did do me, and it resulted in someone recommending mods that i am now using

[empty trail]

Does anyone know which mod(s) may be causing my freighter hangar to be brighter than the surface of the sun (literally can't see anything it's just white lmao) or do I have to go hunting in my mods folder

like, mods known to cause this in the latest patch

[final hazel]

Anything that affects freighter hangars or starships

Literally any mod that affects models/scenes that's outdated will do that, as lighting things were changed in 6.20

[lunar moon]

Does enoyone know a mod for very accurate parts placement ? a mod that would allow the selection of an already placed parts without moving it with the mouse but with drag on arrow ? or something similar

[solid hawk]

No such thing exists or can exist in-game

With NMS modding, we cannot add new functionality

We can change values for existing properties. A true to a false, a one to a 2, a blue to a green sort of thing. That's the extent of NMS modding.

A fairly accurate barometer, if you don't see a mod to do x on NexusMods, after 9+ years it's most likely because it's not possible, not that no one has ever had the idea before.

[bright fable]

there was one that made it so your camera didnt "jump" when selecting a piece, so it would stay where it had been but become selected

Not sure if it works since the update tho

unfortunately, outside of that, as Babs says there's just no way to add "features" such as precision placement

I'd highly recommend looking into glitch building if precision is something you're after, as you can use the game's built-in "snapping" to get things into exact rotations/positions if you master the glitches

[lunar moon]

Thanks for all the info, i'll look into glitch building
i'm trying to place very accuratly handrail on the corvette stairs, and i'd like both of them be exactly in the same position 😉

i have a mod that add handrails...but not a big fan of it

[hearty wasp]

if you want some accurate then you should use either the blender base building plugin or base building app

#nms-modding message

[lunar moon]

( corvette are great but really need a polishing update

[lunar moon]

Thanks, i'll look into that !

[arctic plinth]

i mean the best wuality of life mods or smth i dont reallt know about mods

[unkempt locust]

What uhh, what mod or mod combination do you think might be causing this? Heh...

I'm going through the lighting/effect mods now to see if they are somehow broken. I made sure to add things that were updated for Worlds II, but perhaps Remnant caused issues not yet reported on those mods' pages?

My list of mods are attached as a text file.

[fresh arch]

Any mod that comes with a scene.MBIN file is a culprit

[solid hawk]

Any which affects lighting in any way, that hasn't been updated since last Wednesday

Also, for several mods, you have multiple version of the same mods. May want to fix that.

[unkempt locust]

Oh, crud. I was using Vortex and installed two packs, and realize now as I edit what is in mods, it was reinstalling...

Luckily both packs are what I am after, so just manually creating my own from their lists won't be a big deal.

[unkempt locust]

Okie dokie, finally managed to get it down to possible culprits, now I just have to do the half-on/half-off approach until I find the real breaker:
Better Deposit Colors 2.6
Data Warps 1.2
Extreme Industrial FPS Booster
Freighter Room Teleporter Fix 1.9
No Glowing Plants 2.2
No Laser Flare 1.5
Red Diamonds Warps 1.2
ReLight 5.4
SentinelShipAnims.v3.8
Smokeless Stations 1.4 - Full

Ah, ha! It was just ReLight. Easy as that! Phew. ❤️

[lost hinge]

I think Relight is listed as not working properly.

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/880

[unkempt locust]

Omg this is useful. Thank you so much!

[empty trail]

is after february 11 considered properly up to date for mods

[solid hawk]

Very much depends on the game files involved and the nature of the changes HG made for the update. Many mods from 29 January 2025 onwards will work fine. Others will need to have been updated for this latest 6.2x game update.

Not a black and white thing, more grey, context based.

[empty trail]

is there a mod that lets me spawn corvettes anywhere without a block?

[solid hawk]

nope

[whole kestrel]

my corvette too goddamn big

[solid hawk]

Probably

If one of those ridiculous massive ones created by modding up the part count, A) will frequently run into collision issues B) If taken to the Nexus, will cause other players FPS to plummet to a slideshow.

If you can't tell, I'm not a fan of those. 🙂

[whole kestrel]

im not talking abt htose, im having terrain spawning issues because of my corvette's shape

[solid hawk]

On planet, getting it above the surface level?

[whole kestrel]

yeah

[solid hawk]

Especially tough on terrain with lots of height changes, like in mountains

[whole kestrel]

yeah

im on a rlly montanius planet and i cant spoawn anywher

[solid hawk]

I don't know if it will help, or not, but closest thing there is, that might work, would be https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2116

Give it a shot. Works, great. Doesn't, you're no worse off than you are right now.

Could also swap out to a regular ship, just for this one planet, then swap back.

[empty trail]

is it possible to edit the colors or physical configuration of sentinel interceptors with save editing

[final hazel]

No

Those are all determined by it's seed

Changing the seed at all "rerolls" the entire shape and color of the ship

[empty trail]

ah, figures

i suppose that means if i found a good seed i could convert an existing interceptor to it but i might as well just go get the interceptor delivered with service bot at that point

[solar smelt]

Pretty sure the FPS problem is from NMS’s horrible reflections performance. Still, definitely the corvette owner’s fault if they acknowledge that there’s a problem and still take it to the anomaly

[solid hawk]

The issue doesn't exist if using vanilla corvettes. Only the massive modded ones.

I'll give you that some are amazing to look at, in screenshots, just don't want to play anywhere near them. lol

[solar smelt]

I’ll trust your word on it, but can’t say I’ve had the same experience

[solid hawk]

Most of the people with the "problem children", learn quickly not to take to the Nexus, when everyone starts screaming at them.

Doesn't affect me much, because on my main save I'm in a region with nobody. All the systems discovered by me, and don't have need to go to the Nexus often.

Quiet little corner of galaxy x. 🙂

[rugged kayak]

how do i run the game as an inactive window?

[solid hawk]

Alt-Tab out

[rugged kayak]

when i do that the game stops

or it doesnt close but it freezes

like if im using some refiners, i want it to keep running

[pseudo knoll]

that's a thing the game does to reduce system load when it's not focused, you can't get around it

they do

[rugged kayak]

meh

[solid hawk]

I don't use it, so can't say if it works or not, but https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3308

[pseudo knoll]

HOW LOL

i need to see this shit

[solid hawk]

Built in property, as are all NMS mods

[pseudo knoll]

oh its just a debug option. so we got lucky

i was like. how on earth

[solid hawk]

This one was added arounf NMS 5.50

[pseudo knoll]

its because they gave us it lol

makes sense

[solid hawk]

So @rugged kayak may be able to rescind the meh

[pseudo knoll]

yeah i thought surely there was no way

i should look in the debug options sometime....i did once to toggle the show fps to true and it didn't start showing the fps so idk

might have dependents

[solid hawk]

Lots of interesting properties in debugoptions, BUT only about half actually work

That is work outside of the HG offices.

GeoFenced and must have access to source code on the local network. It's not for us to debug, it's for HG. 🙂

[pseudo knoll]

lol <Property name="ForceTgaDlc" value="false" /> is this for the starborn phoenix?

[solid hawk]

Try and see

[pseudo knoll]

i already have it so i wouldn't know how to check

[solid hawk]

I don't know what it is, but people seem to think that every mod author for NMS knows all of the tens of thousands of properties in the game.

[rugged kayak]

cant say i follow the rest of the convo but ill try the link

[solid hawk]

Any given modder ONLY knows the properties he\she has tested him\her self

[pseudo knoll]

i just asked the question, i didn't expect you to know

[solid hawk]

I don't mess with goofy debug properties (as mentioned) many of which won't work for us. I don't have the spare time for that kind of random spelunking. 🙂

[pseudo knoll]

ok

you ask a simple question and you get lectured ffs

[solid hawk]

😉

[rugged kayak]

o right, i play on game pass

idk where the directrory is

[pseudo knoll]

lol i just wrote code for this last night

one sec

C:\XboxGames\No Man's Sky\Content

[rugged kayak]

waow

xbox thinks highly of themselves

[pseudo knoll]

i mean, yeah
it's microsoft, and windows is their PC OS

more accurately xbox is just highly secured and controller-friendly-UI-ified windows

[rugged kayak]

the description says the new modding system so i can do this with other game pass games?

or is it gonna have a fit

[pseudo knoll]

pretty sure it means the no mans sky modding system

in which case that's only for NMS

[rugged kayak]

oh this is how every player mods nms

[pseudo knoll]

idk what description you're reading though

[rugged kayak]

from the site given above

[pseudo knoll]

PC player, yeah

ah yeah it means the NMS mod system then

i think....i think the description is wrong?

it needs to be GAMEDATA/MODS/folder/foldercontent not GAMEDATA/folder/foldercontent

[rugged kayak]

this part, ive only ever modded through the steam workshop

[pseudo knoll]

yes but replace the obvious steam path part with the xbox game path

[pseudo knoll]

^

maybe C:\XboxGames\No Man's Sky\Content\GAMEDATA\MODS? idk i dont have it on gamepass

[rugged kayak]

ill dbl check when i get it
