nms-modding

[rugged kayak]

hmm i dont see one, nor one that might be a disabling mods file.

[pseudo knoll]

not pcbanks

ugh, these instructions are so confusing for no reason lmao

@rugged kayak this folder

[rugged kayak]

ok i created that folder but there wasnt anything to remove/rename

so there will have to be code somewhere to run the mods i assume

[pseudo knoll]

yeah because its written for people who have existing mods they need to clear

[pseudo knoll]

no

literally just put the mods in <NMSinstall>/GAMEDATA/MODS

then start the game

[rugged kayak]

right... im dumb

ehh i dont wanna make an account im never gonna use

[pseudo knoll]

ill download it for you

nexus is annoying like that i get it

[rugged kayak]

that would be king of you

probably would fit in discord even

[pseudo knoll]

yeah it does

especially for me (nitro upload size increase lol)

check dm

[rugged kayak]

dope it works thanks comrades

[pseudo knoll]

sick

[proper citrus]

They been on a power trip for 2 days now dont worry its not just you

[solid hawk]

Sorry to tell you, there is no power. Just sharing of information.

Nobody here is better or smarter than anyone else.

[solid hawk]

...and a heads up, accusatory or derogatory statements about another member is a rules violation on this Discord. Must remain civil at all times.

[proper citrus]

And where does your passive aggressive nature in everything you have said to me and some others over the last few days fit in with that?

[unborn thunder]

@proper citrus Incivility towards other members has no place in this server. If you have a concern with another user's behavior, you can report it via #contact-us . Stirring drama because you don't like how someone else shares information is not acceptable.

[proper citrus]

Sure, I'm the problem.

[vale iron]

Updated. All walls are now super strong.

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/4079

[lost vapor]

does this also prevent stuff from jumping out when i drive over 40 plants and one of them decides to become invincible and act as a barrier for the junk?

[vale iron]

It helps since the walls are higher, but the latest patch on experimental makes it a lot better. Also add zfriction mod

[lost vapor]

thanks!

[vale iron]

I'm driving around now with x1.5 and not losing much, mostly just scrap that's covering my special waste

[fair narwhal]

Who am I kidding, I'm not cut out for this at all

Everything I create is absurdity, and even though I find it funny sometimes, well , funny isn't functional when I do it

[proper citrus]

is this just that mod that makes the walls higher (and fixes tha gap) but throw on making them stronger too? (that would be awesome if so)

[bright fable]

Don't know if it is possible, but rather than stretching the wall's texture upwards would it be possible to retain the original texture and make the added height just "invis" or something?
to be clear, not necessarily a request, totally your call how you want your stuff to look - just curious, since I personally like the OG look

[solid hawk]

Yes, exactly what the mod does.

[solid hawk]

In theory yes, but would possibly require a new wall mesh, on top of the existing, without TEXTURE applied. Iffy to do currently, because our tool for working with models is in the midst of getting updated for current NMS, so not running at 100%. Fully dependent on if new GEOMETRY would be required.

[placid forge]

is there a mod that disables the corvette building warnings like all parts must be attatched when building a corvette?

[vale iron]

Yes, exactly

[vale iron]

I could do it, but I really don't want to maintain multiple options for different tastes in appearance

[proper citrus]

well. time to download that then i guess XD

[bright fable]

totally fair 👍

[proper citrus]

so i just realised this is the same mod i was talking about and you are the one who made it XD its a super helpful mod though so thanks!

[vale iron]

If you want to do it yourself, decompile the flatbed MBIN, find the barrier scale and trans. Put the scale at about 4.2 and the transY at around 10 I think. You can look at the 1x barrier scale and trans to see the exact values I used

Yeah, I just reworked it today to make the walls strong

I might actually rework it some more to make it even stronger, since I'm still getting some things phase through walls sometimes over 40 or 50 ku/h. That will be this weekend, though.

[proper citrus]

fair enough, also saw you mention when the kit updates you will be releasing one thats a full box with a roof and all, looking forward to that for sure

oh, cool

guess i can do stuff now

[vale iron]

Yeah, maybe this weekend I'll be able to do that

[proper citrus]

hell yeah, was my biggest hope for mods with this updates content that someone would be able to do that

[round sinew]

hey, what do the devs mean by

Fixed an issue which caused scrub grass to render incorrectly.

scrub grass? is that a grass type? which one are they referring to, we know?

[solid hawk]

@round sinew Scrubgrass and newscrubgrass. Which they are specifically refering to, 🤷‍♂️

[solid hawk]

Most likely wasn't rendering at all.

[muted remnant]

o/

I'm building a new nms savegame editor .. wondering if there are accepted limits to what we are supposed to make editable?

getting some requests that I dont know if they make sense given 'spirit of the game' in terms of ship modification (paintjob etc)

[hearty wasp]

both existing ones already allow you to edit the json anyway

there isn't any limit other than the one HG hardcoded into the game

[empty trail]

Players will use whatever they're comfortable with, so

[muted remnant]

rgr .. thats good to hear I guess .. not frowned upon either?

[hearty wasp]

it's important to know that limit more than anything else

nobody really cares what people edit into their saves

it's not really consequential because you can't really grief

[empty trail]

Some people look down upon glitch building but that hasn't stopped anyone from doing it

[muted remnant]

k .. so no need to feel bad towards the seed hunting community for making that obsolete?

[empty trail]

Probably not, no

I could very easily find my dream planet with seed tools or give myself everything in the quicksilver shop but won't because I'm in it for the thrill of the hunt, as an example

[hearty wasp]

DNA is already a thing

[muted remnant]

same here .. but I also recognize the not fun part of having to redo the languiage learning shit for instance :p

did a hardcore permadeath run to the center before I allowed myself to edit, but since its more a creative game for me

[empty trail]

I mean I got consumerism mod so I can buy whatever I want from the quicksilver shop, but I still have to earn the quicksilver
And I only ever build corvettes and bases in creative mode because I couldn't be bothered to go parts/resource hunting

Really the driving factor here is what is fun for me, because that's what this game is about: finding the way to play that's fun for you

:D

so uh in conclusion

[fresh arch]

seed hunting obsolete

[empty trail]

save editor cool

[fresh arch]

Neither any of the save editors

Neither the service bot or vanilla ship fabrication did stop people from that

And I doubt your app is gonna be different in this regard

You have an idea, you make it

[muted remnant]

cool cool .. just wanted to make sure before trying to make something useful that then mifs the whole community :p

[brazen pollen]

By any chance, are you guy on Steam Discussion asking about what peeps want in the new Save Editor that guy is making..? Can i get my Base'd Planet Listing output feature request..!! 🙂

[muted remnant]

already in 🙂

Base part budget table with per-base part counts, wire counts, and sortable columns
Base library — save, browse, and swap bases from a persistent local library
Base sorting (move up/down) for teleport menu order
Base export/import as portable JSON files

if not covered, let me know what you need and I will ask claude nicely

[brazen pollen]

Awesome, looking forward to the release of it..! 🙂

[muted remnant]

https://github.com/pljeroen/nmstoolkit/releases

beta .. make a copy of your save before using!

some features dont fully work yet, but I'm hauling ass again as my 20x just got renewed 🙂

I use it on my own saves no problem, but I dont want to be the one causing 100's of hours of work to go poof

[brazen pollen]

20x?

[muted remnant]

claude plan

[brazen pollen]

claude..?

[muted remnant]

https://claude.ai

ChatGPT but different

[brazen pollen]

An AI..? Wow, things change these days..

[muted remnant]

yah .. I tell it what to make .. then wait

it's absurd

[brazen pollen]

lol

[muted remnant]

cant even take credit for anything but the orchestration

[brazen pollen]

What limits does it have..?

[muted remnant]

not found any yet .. made it build an astrophysics library in pure python that I cant falsify the outcomes of against GMAT

also had it set up gmat on my linux vm as I dont know how to do that

also had it make test scenario's to compare .. and then compare

I write 0 lines of code myself basically

not claiming its as good as gmat btw .. but I shouldnt even get half-way

[brazen pollen]

Can it rewrite software from one language into another language..? Let's say Pascal into C# for example..?

[muted remnant]

yeah .. with provenance and cryptographic proof of parity

(on test results)

working on the parser to catch the edge cases

[iron plume]

where in the game files can i find special waste progress counters? my mission log entry doesnt have them due to localization issue

[brazen pollen]

Those terms.. i can read them but, idnk what they mean in AI context..

[muted remnant]

it means that I can prove that the AI didnt hallucinate and everything it claims is verifyable

its moltbot wihout the issues basically

[brazen pollen]

like some huge sophisticated truth table verification..?

[muted remnant]

not really .. but kinda

most people either micromanage or yolo

there is an in-between

[brazen pollen]

Ok, at least it was kinda, didn't mean to get lost so early in your description of how the AI code is verified, good enough for me..! 🙂

[empty trail]

hang on so are my mods out of date again

[brazen pollen]

Reask.. we're done.. 🙂

[brazen pollen]

Keep expecting Updates.. 🙂

[hearty wasp]

Not necessarily

[final hazel]

Probably NMS_LOC9_(language).MBIN

[hearty wasp]

Exml based mods can be quite resistant to uodates

[final hazel]

I've seen many of the 6.20 strings simply not localized in some languages, so it may just not be in some. It'd best be found by using ctrl+f in the english one for the text that's there

[pseudo knoll]

its because he cant do it himself

its not cool, its lazy

[iron plume]

where in the game files can i find special waste progress counters? my mission log entry doesnt have them due to localization issue
😄

[iron plume]

and where can i find this file?

even english

[muted remnant]

I fully admit that .. yet creating a complete savegame editor from scratch in 4-ish days is neither lazy nor nothing

[pseudo knoll]

yeah but you didn't do it.

you asked the AI to do it and are acting like its anything special

[final hazel]

In the decompressed game files. You would have to use a tool like https://github.com/monkeyman192/HGPAKtool to extract all of the game files, there's also something called pcbanksexplorer somewhere that I've never used

[muted remnant]

I orchestrated it .. I dont need to do the things .. I mange the collective

[pseudo knoll]

LOL

[muted remnant]

laugh all you want .. it's coming fast

[pseudo knoll]

AI is genuinely ruining software

and you're part of the problem

[brazen pollen]

Wow, that's too harsh..

[pseudo knoll]

LOL

It's not.

[iron plume]

oh so i cant just go into game files and find it unarmed?

[empty trail]

i dont think this is the place to debate over the ethics of AI

[muted remnant]

You would have to make an argument that is not emotional

[pseudo knoll]

It's not emotional.

It's fact.

[empty trail]

dms are always an option

[final hazel]

Correct, all of No Man's Sky's game files are compressed heavily into larger groups of things

[pseudo knoll]

AI is ruining software, and you are part of the problem. This isn't "emotional." I'm calling it how I see it.

If you want to come in here talking about your project you didn't even write, you deserve criticism.

[muted remnant]

sure bud .. i would start learning it if I were you

[empty trail]

guys

[brazen pollen]

..or praise.. but none the less.. we got the messages you both sent about it..

[iron plume]

oh wow AI coding holywar even made its way here

[pseudo knoll]

PRAISE? FOR WHAT?

For sitting there and doing nothing and having a hallucinating chatbot DO THEIR WORK FOR THEM? LMAO

[muted remnant]

I bow out

[brazen pollen]

..Just saying.. there's some creation going on either way..

[muted remnant]

tried private, you dont want to .. not messing up the vibes here

[pseudo knoll]

Yeah, in the same way of how I think about things before I do them. Difference is I actually do them.

[brazen pollen]

And.. Kudos!

[empty trail]

by all means take it to dms but this is not a battleground

[pseudo knoll]

I understand that non-programmers don't understand how horrible AI is, and how genuinely disgusting this mindset of "it's creative either way is"

[empty trail]

i think we all get your point,
the guy youre arguing with isnt even arguing anymore 😭

[pseudo knoll]

I'm not DMing them. I have no desire to talk one-on-one with someone who thinks like this unironically. I'm pointing out the fact of the matter in public then ignoring them and moving on.

[brazen pollen]

Hey, i asked, and was informed, but you had an opinion and jumped in to express it, neither of us bashed you..

[pseudo knoll]

Insinuation that asking AI to do something is the same as doing it yourself is insulting. So yes, you did.

My work is worth more than the nonsense that a robot craps out of its word prediction.

[muted remnant]

if you dont think the imposter syndrome feeling is real, i dunno what to tell you .. but the code is solid, works, and reverse engineers gamefiles .. results are results. I have 25+ year experience in the business .. I know how developers work .. I did nothing special but apply tools .. I am not claiming to be a good developer .. Im not a developer. Im a system engineer, project engineer, and ai orchestrator or whatever that is gonna be called .. and it works .. I have the skills to verify that, and do .. so whatever your gripe with vibecoders is, its not with me

[pseudo knoll]

Just as an actual human work of art is worth more than generated crap.

[empty trail]

how is that moving on going

[pseudo knoll]

I'm not talking with them anymore

Different conversation bro

I already moved on, I blocked the slopcoder

[brazen pollen]

Yes, perhaps so, and i'd want to be free to ask you about that, he did not proclaim AI was better, just me asking how and what..

[empty trail]

if you moved on you would not still be talking about it, but anyways, i have some outdated mods to hunt down so farewell

[pseudo knoll]

once again, i am not talking to them anymore. it is a different person who i am conversing with and that is prolonging the conversation.

[brazen pollen]

Yes, i'm the other person, an ex-programmer, who was curious about AI code.. I got both view, tyvm. 🙂

[pseudo knoll]

just imagine a junior programmer who thinks they know how to code but doesn't and never learns

thats ai

it is utterly useless and anyone building a dependence on it is setting themselves up to literally not be able to do anything without it

[hearty wasp]

Maybe take it to #off-topic-bond-james-bond where yoy won't get told off

[brazen pollen]

Hey, i get the view you have, but to get there i was learning from a guy who is using AI to write his code.. to be fair, that's all it was about.. me learning.

[empty trail]

Yo all, just did some hunting in my mods folder and discovered:

• convenient corvette teleporters is what is causing your freighter hangar to be brighter than the surface of the sun
• research trees rescaled is causing research trees (such as those in the anomaly) to not display icons

hopefully someone else with my issues sees these and can save themselves a lot of time!

[pseudo knoll]

ah yeah i encountered the rescaled tree issue when the update dropped

i was like, wtf, why are the icons gone
removed the ONLY mod affecting every tree and it was fixed lol

[round sinew]

thank you babs!

[empty trail]

and station lods does the same to space stations as the freighter

[cobalt condor]

Any unupdated mod that touches models with lights - regardless of whether the mod actually edits the lights or not - will do that.

The Remnant update changed how light values are stored, they now have to be around a thousand times dimmer than before. Mods with models have to include the entire model they're editing, so if those models include lights they will still have the old values

[empty trail]

the colossus is called "Rover" in the files right?

[vale iron]

Yes

[knotty dawn]

So I use mods but nothing for my Minotaur except a camera mod that removes the excessive shaking. However using the Bore flashes my screen white and stays that way until I stop. Does anyone know of mods that might effect this?

Also just in general I have this funny issue where, after entering the Minotaur I can’t get out. Exiting teleports me out and immediately back into the Exocraft.

[solid hawk]

None. Those would be in your save game

If I'm understanding what you're asking correctly

[meager snow]

is modding on mac

[solid hawk]

not so much

[round sinew]

save editing (nmsse) works though right, as java is cross platform?

[solid hawk]

Yes

[round sinew]

@meager snow you could do that instead

[meager snow]

would smth like ts be on mac

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

[meager snow]

what r benefits of save editing

[solid hawk]

There is a way to mod on Mac, but it's very much a manual process on the part of the user. Nothing where mods could be published for use and just downloaded and used.

[round sinew]

well, can be many, it's a reall powerful tool - but in this case, with a few clicks, you could unlock the aeron parts for example, and then claim them in game to be able to use them. can see this post <#nms-modding message>

[brazen pollen]

Q.. Is there a Mod that can keep the Sun in a certain position all the time, let's say 6:30 PM.. ish..?

[cobalt condor]

Not exactly because the time of day is dependent on where you are on the planet relative to the sun

but you can prevent the sun from moving with Stop the Clocks: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1576

[solid hawk]

Can use the ForceSunAngle property to keep the sun at a certain spot.

Of course you'll need to stay in the same area on a planet to keep it at 6:30 🙂

[solid hawk]

Have you considered a feature where your save editor will auto backup saves, on start. That way if something goes sideways, easy restore and not reliant on someone remembering to manually do so.

[brazen pollen]

Ty, will look into that Mod..

[brazen pollen]

Interesting, so if it continuously updated to my relative location it would effectively keep the Sun at a certain angle..?

[solid hawk]

But it's a static file, read at game start

Give it a try, see what happens

[brazen pollen]

Hmm, nothing will change that i guess..

[solid hawk]

In the mod exml, set to 0. Try something else and check the results, in-game.

Not going to break anything. Doesn't work out, just remove the mod

[brazen pollen]

Also, you mention it as a property, i'm not sure i know how to access that property, i just learned a bit of CMX's NMSMB..

[brazen pollen]

..are you referring to the "Stop the Clocks" Mod itself..? or the game files..?

[solid hawk]

Yes, that setting is in there

[brazen pollen]

Ok, will look and play with it, tyvm sir.

[raw roost]

Is there any mod that i can use to increase the size/remove the camera distance limit bubble?

[brazen pollen]

(..that would be nice..!)

[final hazel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3798
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3300

[empty trail]

Are there any mods that increase the thickness of the colossus flatbed walls? Height is no longer an issue but waste just keeps clipping through the back anyway

[solid hawk]

Not at this point, but latest version of https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/4079 should resolve that issue. Increases the strength of the walls, not thickness.

Because it's not size that matters. 🙂

[raw roost]

ah tysm man 🙏

[final hazel]

personally the first one's values are a bit inflated (very high camera speed), but any text editor can be used to adjust them
The second mod now only affects the photo mode camera, as the build camera stuff was reworked and separated in 6.00

[raw roost]

ah yeah the second mod is exactly what i need

I want to take pics but the bubble is too small for me

[final hazel]

Also if you care about the glyphs (and the vignette), https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2148

[raw roost]

ahhh thanks for that man

[main adder]

Good to know things like this exist
So its less about height and more about a clipping bug

[lost hinge]

Is accessing old expeditions much of a pain? Trying to avoid the pandoras box of save editing and mods that lean more towards the cheat side of things or that make it too easy. (Granted it's all down to personal opinion on what that covers and likely some mods I have probably fall into that for others, but not opening that barrel of worms)

[meager snow]

ah icic

tbh i’d play normally bc there is a chance the devs run that aeron thing again right

[round sinew]

sure, yeah

[meager snow]

what are aeron parts tho js for customization?

[hearty wasp]

#nms-modding message

[round sinew]

well, yeah, to add to your corvette, some of the parts of that set can also add stats

[meager snow]

what does the current expedition give

[vale iron]

It's a weird mechanic. The barrier works as a one-way force of X strength. Unfortunately, it's spread out over the entire surface area, so if you increase the surface area, you decrease the force in any one place. I decreased the surface area and created multiple instances of the new barrier to emulate a larger area, then stretched the graphic to make it all look like one piece. The 10x wall is actually 14 barriers

[round sinew]

see image; also see nomanssky.com/release-log, the remnants release post

[meager snow]

hmm are these items worth it, also what exactly do u do in an expedient i didnt want to start one cuz i wanted to know what i was going into

[vale iron]

The cosmetics are very nice looking

And the crab legs

It maybe takes 6 hours to do, and if you don't think of it as a chore, it's kind of fun

[lost hinge]

Great, thanks.

[bright fable]

depends on the tool you use - my understanding is that Transcender by the nomansapp dev is the most painless (free but requires a Patreon login iirc)

[bright fable]

I've been busy thus far anyway, so personally I've just been waiting for patches from HG and mods from the community to improve the truckin' experience

glad I have too, since there's been good improvements on both fronts

[vale iron]

For sure

I'm going to try to increase the wall strength some more over the weekend, but I'm not sure how much I can achieve with reasonable effort

[bright fable]

I just saw someone suggest increasing the weight of the waste itself as a solution - they were meaning HG tho, not certain whether thats a value that modders have access to

[empty trail]

Ah thanks! I'll have to check this out later!

[solid hawk]

Considering HG would never see that message, modders are all we got. 🙂

[main adder]

So its basically an invisibly layered shield?

Almost like a sort of spaced armor, but for cargo?
Or i misunderstood it?

[empty trail]

Oh that explains why the 4x wall has more cargo clipping through it, interesting

Does adding more barriers decrease performance at all?

Id imagine it would at some point

[vale iron]

4x should be the same as 1x in my latest version. Every part of the wall is covering the same amount of surface area

[empty trail]

I have yet to install the new version I think

I can check later

I think it's the old version

[vale iron]

It shouldn't increase performance in any noticeable way

Yeah, on the old version, stretching the wall decreased the holding power

[vale iron]

Stacked on top of each other rather than layered

[empty trail]

Ah so it's like a bunch of 1x walls stacked on top of each other instead of one really stretched 1x wall

[vale iron]

0.7x walls, yeah. That's how I got the increased wall strength over vanilla

[empty trail]

Ah

Makes sense

[vale iron]

I'll try dropping it to 0.4 maybe this weekend. I just don't like having to calculate all those placements

[empty trail]

I want to meet the person who intentionally has the 0.7x wall

[vale iron]

Haha yeah I was surprised anyone got that

Also surprised most people took my suggestion of 3x

[empty trail]

3x seems like a reasonable middle ground between "too small" and "excessive"

[vale iron]

Well, I like 1.5x personally, but I think 3x is best for most people

[empty trail]

You should make a 0.1x wall 💀

[vale iron]

The only cargo I've lost on 1.5x was phasing through the wall at high speeds

[empty trail]

You could probably make a program or smth to calculate that for you

[vale iron]

But even 50 ku/h isn't fast enough for some

[vale iron]

It's not that hard, just have to put all those nodes in and make sure I don't mess up the structure

[empty trail]

Hmm would putting a lid on the flatbed with barriers be possible? Lol would probably be too easy to transport waste but I'm curious now

[vale iron]

When NMSDK exporting gets fixed, I should be able to, but not yet

[empty trail]

ah

[vale iron]

You can put a normal wall up there like one person did, but I think that's a bad option

[empty trail]

Ill probably switch to 3x on the new version later today, gotta stay modest y'know

hmm it would be funny if you could dramatically increase the speed of the flatbed dumping waste so it just like catapults it

Idk if that's possible

[vale iron]

Haha, yeah, could do that

It should work, I would think

[main adder]

Ah

[main adder]

Is there some guide on mod installation?

[lost hinge]

Putting a roof on could be interesting. With how cargo reacts sometimes I can imagine it might send the truck into another dimension

[empty trail]

See here @main adder

[main adder]

Ty

[empty trail]

Probably tbh. My colossus already sometimes starts running away when I put too much cargo in it

and it's so fast 😢

[vale iron]

I watch it out of the corner of my eye to make sure it doesn't run away

Much faster when it randomly Christine drives away than when I drive it

[empty trail]

fr

[lost hinge]

Mine did that last night. Everytime I got back in it'd just immediately zoom forward at like Mach 3

[vale iron]

It's another weird physics bug. It doesn't seem to do it as much as 6.21, but still some

[empty trail]

Can't wait to turn around, see my colossus is gone, then have it sneak up behind me and run me down

[vale iron]

The friction mod might help

[lost hinge]

I think at like a certain point when you have enough things stacked, the top one isn't counted as cargo and wants to roll forward, but rolls into the back of the truck cab and just propels it forwards.

[vale iron]

I have moved it a tiny bit by throwing scrap into the front or back flatbed wall

[empty trail]

I did notice that higher up scrap stops counting as in the cargo

[vale iron]

Yeah I'll fix that this weekend

I know how but I'm away from the computer for a couple of days

[lost hinge]

When I was trying to fit bits in, I like forced a box between others and it ended up shooting the truck into the air. I think the physics collisions freak out when enough of them happen and everything goes flying.

[vale iron]

Exactly. That's part of what they fixed in 6.23. They need to tone it down more though, or put some checks in for outliers

Before 6.22, the pieces hitting each other amplified the force instead of dissipating

[main adder]

If i see the barrier of the right height, its obvious that the mod was properly installed right?
I wouldnt go too deep into the modding rabbithole, although i am not sure what mods can add what the vanilla game cannot (outside of some annoyance fixes like this)

I think a closed top cargo box wouldnt be bad, if not the physics shenanigans

[main adder]

How high can you stack the pile before it does this?

[empty trail]

Not sure, usually after putting most of a waste heap in there it starts trying to escape

[main adder]

I will play around with the expedition on the weekend probably

I have like several weeks to complete it still

[vale iron]

I noticed that 5 or fewer pieces get along fine. When you get into medium sized loads is worst, as you have enough to cause problems but not enough to hold things in. Large loads stacked properly can hold things in place with useless stuff on top to hold things down better

[formal coral]

someones ship is breaking my game, is there any way to fix this

[empty trail]

Disable multiplayer rq

Where are you?

[formal coral]

im in the anormaly

[empty trail]

Yeah first disable multiplayer then reload your restore point, assuming you haven't saved since getting stuck.

If your autosave is older than your restore point you can try that too

[formal coral]

oh so just restore checkpoint and restore multiplayer?

[empty trail]

Restore checkpoint and turn multiplayer off

if the other person's ship is the issue turning off multiplayer will get rid of their ship

[formal coral]

so the bug ship, there is nothing can be done?

[empty trail]

I mean you can avoid it by turning off multiplayer

[formal coral]

ah ok understand

[lost hinge]

Is there a mod that allows you to automatically loot the stuff from containers? I swear I had something previously that did this. ie automatically take out the rust and then loot the actual loot from the green boxes.

[jagged drum]

i need to figure out how to edit the game files so that there's no 16k save build limit

[fair narwhal]

go to peristentplayerbases

in edit raw json

goto each one of the numbered thingys, do control a , control x

and so on

save

but look for a thing called "persistentplayerbases" or whateverr

[final hazel]

Can't be done via regular modding, can only be done by modifying the exe/what it does. Only a very small amount of people have ever messed with that in any substantial way, as it's one of the only things truly "obfuscated"

[fair narwhal]

that is where the thing that controls how much shit you can build is, thats where all the gunk you wanna clean out is

you may not be able to exceed the limit, but you need to amputate some saves you dont give a shit about anymore

[final hazel]

Save editing cannot increase the base object limit, attempting to add more than the limit will most likely have the game count your save as corrupted

[fair narwhal]

it dont, but it cleans out the clog

therefore allowing you to resume new buildings

some people have random bases they dont remember making , like i do

[final hazel]

A better solution is to move bases that you don't plan on revisiting to a different save to upload from that other save

[fair narwhal]

idk i like to destroy stuff i know was a shit base anyway\

[final hazel]

or to a different account, if you wish to still visit the base on your own saves that you actually use

[fair narwhal]

which is like most of mine

[hollow ginkgo]

Hey I need help with h a ship I got on nomansapp

Idk if I can fly it or I just can’t find the cockpit to fly it it’s huge

[spare linden]

Hey how do you edit models in the game?

I'm thinking of making a proc gen part update mod for the other starships

[hearty wasp]

depends on if you are planning on making custom models or do anything more than moving parts of the model

NMSDK has importing updated so you can view in game models and you should be able to change positioning

but any custom geometry you're gonna need to wait

[main adder]

I added the mod for the colossus flatbed

At least i can do the expedition without much of a hassle

[spare linden]

Oh

Well I was hoping for custom models so :[

[hearty wasp]

Well you still can if you can be patient to wait for NMSDK to update

In the meantime feel free to unpack the game and learn about how the models themselves work

[solid hawk]

...further. Make certain that any moving part in the custom model can use existing animations for other ships. We can't make new animations or substantially modify existing.

[spare linden]

alr

[spare linden]

that should be fine

[solid hawk]

Just grab Blender 5.01 and the latest NMS 6.2x compatibility NMSDK beta at #994078792932929546 message and you can get started.

We've been told that exporting is about 90% done, but the developer shifted to other things so we'll need to cajole, bribe, and threaten him to finish, because he's not so fond of working on NMSDK anymore. lol

Is this the appropriate place to ask a JSON editing question?

[rapid sandal]

Sure, but if it's about editing the save file you may get better information on the NMS Creative & Sharing Hub discord; that's where most of the save file editing experts are.

[dim ruin]

Alrighty, I shall try there first! Thank you

[dreamy python]

@viral void I did it

I think I have the gist of it, I'll be all set

[carmine lily]

is there any working mod for adding slots to suit more then one per system?

because this one -> https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2337
didnt work

[sterile island]

is there a way i can manually move my save file from the xbox game pass over to steam

[vale iron]

NomNom has a tool to do that, though I can't promise it's currently working. Doing it by hand is a super pain in the ass

[shy grove]

Oh, does that tool work still? Maybe I should ping @fallow meadow and @round sinew in case they have more insight on Nomnom

I assumed save editing the JSON via either save editor wouldn't be that complicated, for the pseudo "transfer"

[shy grove]

@sterile island Given timezones and other variables, I don't know when if they'll be able to get back. But definitely check here again later when more people are awake

[sterile island]

wait do yk how to use goat fungus because i downloaded it

[vale iron]

NomNom has been updated more recently than GFSE, I believe

[proper citrus]

goat fungus is out dated, you need the unofficial patch if you want to use that one

[sterile island]

do yk how to use it

[proper citrus]

from what i read goat fungus is ("officially") discontinued, and the one person making the unofficial patches is doing it just in their free time, so updates are inconsistent

[sterile island]

im currently downloaded nomnom do yk how to use it?

[proper citrus]

i havent touched it, just know that gf isnt worth using anymore

[shy grove]

https://github.com/zencq/NomNom
It definitely lists the feature here. So worth a try If you have issues with it, don't hesitate to ask here again

Transfer your save to another platform you own the game on.

[sterile island]

ty so much\

[vale iron]

I'm not doubting you, but do you have a source?

[proper citrus]

uh, let me see if i can find it, it was just a random steam post i read though

here is the one i read

https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/693125596439386680/

im so confused how do to this nomnom thing

this is where i am at currently

[ocean prairie]

Sorry if this has been asked before but has goatfungus save editor been updated? I dont see the expedition rewards yet

[proper citrus]

read up a bit

literally have the answer to that question like 5-10 messages ago

[vale iron]

Thanks, so no official word, but no official word in a long time

[proper citrus]

yeah

[vale iron]

Branch is the best option

[sterile island]

please someone help me

[proper citrus]

with these kinds of things its safer to assume its dead when its been this long with no update or announcement

[vale iron]

@shy grove
https://github.com/vectorcmdr/NMSSaveEditor

[vale iron]

He's been slow in the past and then come back, but this is longer than before

[vale iron]

Just backup your save and then start messing with things. No one is going to walk you through every click

[sterile island]

im trying to move my save from xbox game pass to steam i got told i could do it here

[vale iron]

I'm not on my computer but that helps to know a specific goal

Someone on a computer that can access the UI can help you better

[sterile island]

would u be able to give me a brief description on what to click because i dont think anyone is active currently

[dark canopy]

I've gotten the game to see whether my system could run it smoothly. I want to buy it on steam (on my laptop) now and want to save the game so I can play it on my laptop. I can't seem to find the saved game file

[fair narwhal]

Just because it's been discontinued doesn't mean it doesn't work anymore

If

[fallow meadow]

@sterile island Best way to transfer your saves, is by using the NMS cloud service you'll find on their website: https://cloud.nomanssky.com/cross-save

[fair narwhal]

It will still work for the foreseeable future

Just maybe not with the newest items

But essential shit is still there

[shy grove]

Does that transfer all rewards at the account level though?

[fallow meadow]

I have no clue if it still functions correctly. Using NMS Cloud is the way to go, only if that fails would I suggest to try NomNom

[fair narwhal]

I cannot say the same for the other laggier save editor

You know the one

[fallow meadow]

I would assume it does, as it is official. If it does not, I'd recommend raising a ticket

[fair narwhal]

Nomnom

Nomnom works when it wants to

Otherwise you are at its mercy and it's like a car with a bad battery

Or bad ignition

(it will often not even open saves)

While it may have more feature then uh goatfungus, it's not as reliable imo

Never once crashed on goatfungus, constantly would crash on nom nom

But it does have little features that you can basically find and edit on you r own with the raw json

[shy grove]

I'm pretty sure not all account-based rewards carried over in the past via HG's cloud based cross-save since HG was doing those per "save". I'm having a hard time recalling the specific example I had in mind. If I remember, I'll bring it up again

[fair narwhal]

Also ALWAYS make backups I cannot stress it enough

Idc if it has to be a whole gigabyte of them

Which you'd need tens of thousands

[shy grove]

I did have a much better time with GF before. Sucks it's no longer updated. But at least there's this branch that Gumsk brought to my attention: #nms-modding message https://github.com/vectorcmdr/NMSSaveEditor

[fallow meadow]

I am not even sure if NomNom handles the account either, if it works to begin with. It is meant to transfer saves, although it will likely include an account save too.

[fair narwhal]

Eww vector

I've experienced vector, there's a reason I don't use it

[fallow meadow]

@sterile island Please give the official NMS Cloud a try, which I linked earlier. If after transfer you have issues or are missing account wide items, let me know by giving me a ping. I will then assist you in getting that sorted as best I can. It is likely easier to properly transfer and add remains later, than to rely on NomNom currently.

[fair narwhal]

How can you rely on nom nom it's Rng if it even works

Could just be a me problem

[shy grove]

Oh really? I assumed it did with how it was mentioned here
https://github.com/zencq/NomNom

Transfer your save to another platform you own the game on.
I assumed that included the whole account save, not just a per-save copy which yeah, HG's cloud based cross-save then would be the better option

[fair narwhal]

And by work I mean , it will not open your save file no matter how much you spam click

And it will hang

I found that slapping my monitor makes it work

[shy grove]

It seems to work fine for some people and is apparently kept more up to date these days

[fair narwhal]

Idk man unless it's been fixed since October

Could bea windows 11 issue I don't know

I'm not saying it never works , it just is very finicky

Like the actual game is before the patch

I mean I'm grateful we have options

[fallow meadow]

Which save editor to use is a personal preference. Currently both NMSSE and NomNom need work. Whether NMSSE has been abandoned, that's just rumours, goatfungus has always been really clear about continued support, just not regularly. Users being impatient I guess, is all I'll say about that.

[fair narwhal]

GF is the fastest one

[sterile island]

doesnt work bevcause i cant actually even get into my game

[fair narwhal]

And multiple instances of it can be open

So shit can. Be copy paste

[proper citrus]

GF is 2 major updates behind, 1 if you use the UNOFFICIAL patch for it

[fallow meadow]

Can you provide further detail? Is it crashing, or other reasons?

[fair narwhal]

Yeah but it isn't fking broken

[sterile island]

ofcourse so i play on xbox game pass on pc but my game is having trouble syncing so its not letting me in the game to enable cross save so that's why i am trying to now transfer my save over to steam using nomnom but i am very confused on how to do that

[fair narwhal]

Is nom nom working or not related to your own pc specs

Damn what could it possibly be taking power from

[fallow meadow]

Let us move to #964865106334875698 to see if we can get this sorted.

[proper citrus]

i have never touched nomnom

[fair narwhal]

Then what do you use

[proper citrus]

i dont

[fair narwhal]

:/

[proper citrus]

dont have a problem with others using them, i just dont myself

[fair narwhal]

So why did you weigh in and be like it's major update behind

[proper citrus]

because it is...

[fair narwhal]

That doesn't mean shit as far as it works or not , oh just forget it

Nvfm

[proper citrus]

okay? not sure what i did to piss you off but whatever

[fair narwhal]

Im pissed off at nom nom for sucking

Not at you

I'm gonna go do something else no hard feelings

[vale iron]

If the official cross save doesn't copy account data to a new steam account, the only thing you wouldn't be able to recover through save edit or mods are Twitch rewards and the Starborn Phoenix

And even then you could get those items still

[fair narwhal]

I apologize for the way I talked to you

[round sinew]

https://github.com/vectorcmdr/NMSSaveEditor/issues/20

Why "NO MAN'S SAVE EDITOR"? Because I want this editor to belong to no single [hu]man.

yeah, having been around opensource and its communities in general for years, can agree to this

[winged crescent]

Is NMs on console ever gonna get modes

Mods*

?

[fallow meadow]

@vale iron Turns out NMS Cloud was not an option for this user, as they had a MS gamepass save sync issue. Save transfer using NomNom worked out fine though, so seems to function correctly at least.

[fallow meadow]

In most cases the platform itself would have to allow for it, which is often not the case

[brazen pollen]

No way to add a Mod on Consoles..? Like the game files/folders are locked up..? No file manager and stuff..?

[vale iron]

The EXE doesn't even look for mods, and you often don't have permission to put files in there

[brazen pollen]

I would have thought Microsoft with their XBox 4,5,6,7,... would have added such things.. hmm..

[vale iron]

They would have added things to the NMS EXE? Or permission to write freely to the drive? PS5 is the most restrictive, maybe after Nintendo, but Microsoft has been known to restrict gaming folders even on Windows desktops

[winged crescent]

I’m js fallout made it happen in 4 and with all the people on gta.v modding even on consoles you’d think but on console we’d need premade mod menus and no one has made one of those yet to my knowledge so unless they add that it looks like we will not according to yall

As you literally have to f with the game files

And every new update would in turn break the mod menus

[vale iron]

Yeah but this is a company with fewer than 50 developers employed. They don't have the time or desire to oversee something like that

[winged crescent]

Sounds like they need community help with that then

[vale iron]

They make it so we can make mods, but beyond that is way outside their resources

[brazen pollen]

Oh yes! That pesky XBox folder.. i recall now..

[vale iron]

Community help with editing their proprietary, closed source code that is shared with their upcoming game release, to benefit maybe 1% of their player base, at best? That doesn't sound like a good business decision

[dark canopy]

[final hazel]

Though if you set up Steam Cloud or Cross-Save, it should transfer your saves automatically

[solid hawk]

When you see pigs roosting in the trees most likely

This being said, anything posted on the Discord or reddit is a user theory. Only HelloGames could answer definitively and their trolling lurking is minimal (if at all) and they do not respond to user posts, even if they would see it.

[final hazel]

Then I do not know where the save files would be stored, I would have expected them to be in the same place as the GOG version of the game
Note that the Windows versions of NMS have it's save files stored in AppData/Roaming/HelloGames/NMS

[latent ferry]

Can't even mod Cuphead I got from the Microsoft store

[brazen pollen]

Look at the problems MAC users are having atm..

Hey! Are "shaders" editable as in JSON or human readable files, or are we talking decompress and Hex Edit and/or proprietary Hieroglyphics and what not..?

CMK said i'd have to edit "shaders" to clear up the milky water on a Planet, and said "give it a try".., but idnt it's a cake walk at all.., however, perhaps the difference of Noon Sun milky water vs 6am/6pm clear waters is just a matter of overwriting Day/Night shaders with Morning/Evening shaders..?

(Btw, who walks on Cake..?!)

[solid hawk]

There is a ZERO tolerance policy in the NMS discords community towards piracy. Please do buy on Steam, or GoG, or GamePass. I think on sale on Steam atm.

[solid hawk]

We're talking decompile\recompile, file names and content within poorly labelled. That is, vulkan shaders are completely non-trivial.

[dark canopy]

Ah thanks. Was looking in local, not roaming 🤦‍♂️

[brazen pollen]

Ohh, fun..

[solid hawk]

Yep. It IS doable, but very much a lengthy trial and error affair. There's a reason only one person currently doing a working NMS shader mod.

[brazen pollen]

Oh? Who is..?

[solid hawk]

Guy who makes Crescent Worlds. He doesn't do Discord. He just does his own thing, outside the community.

[brazen pollen]

Ty, was curious.. 🙂

[solid hawk]

Last guy who did one, Argh, discontinued his mod and moved on about a year and a half, two years ago.

The rest of us just don't have expertise to draw on and it's so very time consuming to do, nobody wants to. I've been playing with the shaders on and off for about 6 months trying to resolve a very specific issue, which affects one of my mods.

[ripe oasis]

how do you auto unlock all previous expedition rewards?

Considering this is something new and there are no mods to do so, nobody would be able to tell you how. Will take a significant amount of research, IF it's even possible.

This being said, you can unpak the game files, decompile to human readable MXML and start digging in the files.

You said a save editor, unspecific, so cannot give more specific answer.

Both of them only have one area labelled Account. Just look for that

can i give myself any ship i want with the save file editor?

[round sinew]

of the unique ship rewards? yes, pretty much. iirc, only ship that needs a process with more clicks is starborn phoenix (see <#nms-modding message>), not sure if it shows up as a selectable reward on the account tab, because of the way this ship was released and unlocked (through the steam dlc way). there might be a mod for it on nexusmods, but i dont know

[vale iron]

The collection?

The collection should survive just updates. I purposely built it to be as worry free as possible

Nobody can ever guarentee 100% safety for anything. "Should" be ok.

The game has no form of prevention for this, if it did then it would do so to your save

The thing with the vectorcmd fork is Goatfungus has not given any sign of ok for this. I choose not to use it until this happens.

[proper ermine]

any idea what mod might be causing a crash when trying to reopen a settlement building?

[solid hawk]

Any that's outdated

[proper ermine]

😭

[solid hawk]

Any mod folders in MODS which contain files that are .MBIN file extension and haven't been updated for Remnant would be chief suspects.

Could also be a mod making changes to the GCSETTLEMENTGLOBALS file

Tried and true method is binary search

Pull out half of mods. If crash resolves, problem mod is in that half. If not, is in half that remained.

Basically removing and reinstating mods until you have it narrowed down to one (hopefully only one, much more complex if more).

[vale iron]

Yeah, definitely search for MBIN and remove those mods first. I'm probably going to add that to the modding document

[solid hawk]

In one regard, was easier prior to 5.50....then you pretty much knew almost every mod would be broken after an update. lol

Well it doesn't have any numbers after it, so it probably isn't installed incorrectly. Can you show a screenshot inside the problematic mod's folder?

This is how you find out what a property does

Would probably have a relation to the scan distance

Hello im new here and just downloaded NMS. Im researching for save editors for the switch edition. Any recommendation are appreciated. TIA

[solid hawk]

There are only two functionally updated atm. NomNom and the vectorcmd fork of the Goatfungus editor. No clue if either work on Switch or not, but it's all there is.

[shy grove]

Given Nintendo's hyper strict policy with jailbreaks, I highly doubt there is a save editor for it.

If cross-save is what you're after, HG's cloud cross-save option may help.

And if you're on Switch 2, and you want to unlock certain rewards (one of save editors' uses), you may be better off looking into the "service bot" that the Creative Hub Discord supports.

[merry willow]

if you have a modded switch you may have luck using a conventional save editor. I've noticed people are able to inject past expeditions on switch using the same json as on other platforms. (this is relevant because expedition data is part of save data, this suggests the the switch version uses the same save format as other platforms and isn't encrypted)

[pseudo knoll]

if the switch version supports cross save then that would make sense

not sure if it does tho, only have sw2

[somber karma]

Anyone know how nom nom save editor works, I am trying to switch from goatfungus to nom nom but the download process is way worse

[vale iron]

Yes, I don't foresee it ever breaking unless they completely change the modding system again.

[rotund cosmos]

what part of the download process are you stuck on?

as far as i remember you just download the latest release [ https://github.com/zencq/NomNom/releases/tag/6.20.0 ], extract, and run.

[somber karma]

I dowloaded it, extracted it, but only got this

Nowhere to actually open it

I will also add I am only downloading it because goatfungus is awful right now and wont let me save my edits because it hasnt updates in half a year so if anyone has a solution for that, that would be easier lol

[rotund cosmos]

it looks like you downloaded the repository, which is uncompiled source code. you can't run that without compiling it first, and i imagine that's not what you intended to do, lol.

you need to download from the releases page (see the link i sent)

the releases page will have multiple downloads available, but the most relevant ones are:

• NomNom-win-x64-stable-Setup.exe, which will begin an install process, or
• NomNom-win-x64-stable-Portable.zip , which you can just extract into any folder and run without installing

you don't need both, just one of them will do.

[somber karma]

Ah, thank you

All the tutorials are for xbox/nexus lol

[somber karma]

It worked

[balmy marten]

[tired mango]

Thank you everyone but I am using wemod to maximize resources. I’m stuck trying to unlock slots so that part I gotta figure out.

[half turtle]

Hey, so is no man's sky considered easy to mod versus other games?

I'm just curious. I do play some pretty mod friendly games.

[final hazel]

Honestly very easy, just drag and drop unzipped folders into GAMEDATA/MODS (and make sure they're not a layer too deep)
See http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550 for details

[half turtle]

Cool. I do like it when games are mod friendly.

[final hazel]

This game's mods are quite limited, we can't add new functionality to the game and we have nearly no tools for making things

[sterile island]

do texture mods need to be updated constanly because i wanna download a mod that increases cloud textures but im not sure if itll break my game

[vale iron]

Not constantly, only when HG changes how they compress their images. That has happened only 2 or 3 times in the past 6 years, that I recall.

[sterile island]

i wanna improve the way my game looks any recommendation on mods

[vale iron]

Check the Better NMS collection on Nexus for ideas. I included things I find fairly widely acceptable as better

[raw roost]

guys i lost one of my starship slots, i now only have 11. I think its because i copied a corvette json file to a new slot and i didn't change the slot number or smth

Any ideas on how can i get that starship slot back?

Also that copied corvette data is there, but no ship & slot ingame

TerraLysis is the only up to date planetgen overhaul mod currently?

[solid hawk]

You'd have to check NexusMods

[hot ember]

I have, can't find anything else

someone might be using what I haven't been able to find, which is why I'm asking

[solid hawk]

TerraFirma is the gold standard, but author is behind updating, due to irl. I can get you an updated copy early, if you wish though

[hot ember]

eh I can wait, I'm fine with using pretty much any terrain gen mod as long as it's not vanilla

at least DUD's recolors and some other mods still work

[bright fable]

I wonder, should Crashed Freighters and Harmonic Camps also spawn some Industrial Waste now?
Particularly the former, could be a reason to stop when doing a long-haul clean up route 🤔

[astral quest]

Do yall think the goatfungus save editor is dead?
Also is there another simple save editor for the latest version of the game?

[empty trail]

Nah I use goatfungus just fine. I think goatfungus and nom nom are the two main, viable editors for nms at this point in time

[astral quest]

Does goatfungus always take this long to update the editor?

[empty trail]

Idk I can't say I've really updated it before

[marsh eagle]

We have plenty of other saveeditor solutions out there, choose one https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyUnlimited/comments/1f9ucn5/no_mans_sky_save_editor_tools_list/

NomNom saveeditor is underrated

[wary pier]

Anyone know if this works on the latest patch? https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3701

If not, any alternatives?

[final hazel]

It does.

Expect all mods updated after Jan 29 2025 that don't use any .MBIN files to work fully, I believe there are very few exceptions to that

ones that use .MBIN files it's more complicated, mainly due to the last update changing something in them so outdated SCENE.MBIN files are a thousand times too bright

[wary pier]

Nice

The build limit is way too low for my liking otherwise

[final hazel]

Just right-click slots to see the option to enable them

There is also a button that automatically enables all slots

[final hazel]

Reshade isn't """bannable""", basically nothing is

Then you most likely installed it incorrectly. See http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550 for troubleshooting steps.

Doubtful

Follow the troubleshooting steps, then send a screenshot of the inside of your MODS folder if none of them fix the issue

[manic knot]

can someone help

[final hazel]

Help with what?

[lost hinge]

Is there a mod that allows me to place more than 5 save beacons a planet? Or something else that lets me bookmark locations?

[final hazel]

You can place and claim up to 400 Base Computers per save, which act the same but also allow you to teleport back to them

Alternatively, I think https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1096 removes the Save Beacon limit

but not fully sure

[lost hinge]

gonna go cry for a bit

I'm loathe to spam base computers everywhere, but looks like I might have to or something.

Thanks for the help.

[hot ember]

just don't go overboard or you'll lag out everyone in your Anomaly instances

[hot ember]

reshade has a on/off hotkey, read the instructions for the preset you downloaded
if it's there with reshade off, it's not because of reshade

[pseudo knoll]

Or do go overboard, and just make sure you always have multiplayer off :p

[solar smelt]

Can you kill players in the anomaly? Once I had an exocraft in the anomaly and torched a person with the flamethrower for over a min and they were fine. Didn’t even break the shield since no damage message was sent to chat. I didn’t check what difficulty they were on, but I think it was just normal

I know you can take damage in your corvette at least, since I’ll randomly take damage on entering sometimes, but I’ve never taken damage in the anomaly outside my ship

[final hazel]

You are not supposed to be able to, but bugs/glitches/mods have previously enabled this. Measures have most likely been put in place to prevent this via normal means now

[final hazel]

This is just fall damage miscalculations or something

[short mural]

Is there a mod that effects corvette building. I know I can glitch stuff somehow but I figure it'd be easier to just mod easier placement

[dense hazel]

Anyone know if theres any other corvette builder websites? I used all 3 of my requests on no mans sky app and want more ships

[final hazel]

None that are known. If on PC, you could use any save editor's raw JSON editing function to import corvette base data found online. I think people share theirs in the creative hub sometimes

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[final hazel]

Regardless, this would be a better question for there too.

[solar smelt]

If you’re talking about offset building, not really. Just the base building app. For putting non-corvette parts on the corvette, use https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1096

[wary pier]

I rarely have need to go to the anomaly outside of a few quests and quicksilver

And I can always just use a shuttle if I need to

[delicate hamlet]

Is there a documentation/tutorial on how to replace an expedition ship with a custom model one?

[final hazel]

Define "custom model one"

Do you mean like a 3D model that is from outside of No Man's Sky?

[delicate hamlet]

Yes

[final hazel]

If so, only really one mod was made with that and it hasn't made it past updating beyond 5.50 https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1891

You'd have better luck asking on the modding discord, there's no simple tutorial at all

[delicate hamlet]

I used that mod in the past and it's mainly the reason that inspired me to mod one myself lol

Alright thanks

[delicate hamlet]

Thank you

[solid hawk]

Obviously not up to current, but the basics hold true

A few caveats: The tool used, NMSDK for Blender is NOT currently 100% compatible with NMS 6.2x. In the works. Probably another 2-3 weeks

[delicate hamlet]

I'll try tomorrow I'll share progress if I manage to replace something

[delicate hamlet]

Alright thanks, is it possible to roll back into an older compatible version in the meantime?

[solid hawk]

There really isn't a way to give a 100% tutorial, because every ship import\export experience will hit issues unique to that one you'd have to figure out how to work through

[solid hawk]

If you wanted to install NMS 6.18, BUT the exported model then would NOT be compatible with current NMS, due to changes in lighting and GEOMETRY

Over on the modding discord, in the nmsdk-blender channel, there's alpha8 of the NMSDK plugin.

[delicate hamlet]

Noted, so if I make something for 6.18 I'll have to do it from scratch whenever it's compatible for the current version right?

[solid hawk]

It's a WIP, but should get you by. Must use Blender 5.x

[delicate hamlet]

Alright thanks a lot

[solid hawk]

Oh, before I forget. Winder mentions this somewhere in the videos, but this is really more skinning than anything else. Much of the reason for this is we can't make new animations or even modify existing to any reasonable degree. So, whatever ship you bring in, will be using the landing gear for an existing vanilla ship, as an example.

[delicate hamlet]

Alright

I'm planning to replace the starborn runner

[tired mango]

So NMS on switch is at 6.20 and on PC it’s at 6.23 so I guess Nintendo is too busy to approve patches and updates. I just tried to cross play and it told me “incompatible save”

[final hazel]

Correct, Switch 1 & 2 are still on save version 4204, while all other platforms are on 4207 (other than GoG for some reason) #nms-commands message

You cannot send saves backwards in save version numbers

[solid hawk]

May take a few weeks, but eventually switch should catch up with PC. May or may not be Nintendo. Think the main focus right now, with limited man power resources, is bug squashing.

Even on PC, there's discrepencies in releases between the various delivery plaforms. Steam gets released first. GamePass and GoG can be behind anywhere from hours to days.

[manic knot]

I uninstalled reshade and it's still there I cant make it black :(

[final hazel]

Then either you installed it incorrectly (see troubleshooting steps here http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550), or the mod no longer works (probably unlikely)

[unique night]

It amuses me that the first thing I see when glancing at the mods for the first time in forever is that people all agree the collossos flatbed needs to be fixed.

The one where you can trade in scrap metal for the customizations at the scrapyard is a neat idea, too.

[manic knot]

Tried again still didn't work

I can give ss of the folder

[manic knot]

Nvm I figured it out

I put the metadata folder directly inside the mods folder

Thats why it wasnt working

I added a random name folder outside and it worked

Anyway

Can someone recommend me some more visual mods,

[copper island]

I have a question, If i get mods does it remove the whole could run into a player moment?

[plush wasp]

regarding save editing the newest version of the game, since goatfungus's save editor hasnt been updated, https://github.com/vectorcmdr/NMSSaveEditor/releases this is the one i should/could use correct (latest release, 1.20.3)?

[hot ember]

no, mods don't lock you into singleplayer, nor does it say anywhere that they would
you might run into some terrain collision issues or seeing some bases differently if you run mods that affect it or play in a party where not everyone has those mods installed

[copper island]

got it thank you

[kindred remnant]

is there a mod

that allow to move a whole structure?

[final hazel]

No.

Well, unless you count the base building app/blender plugjn

[unique night]

decided to check what corvette mods existed, if any

no new parts, which is to be expected, but

theres one that lets you use your bed as a restore point or modify appearance, and one that has the medbay heal you

honestly these should be what those parts do in game already; a purely cosmetic medbay is a huge l

the system scan is also quite welcome.

[kindred remnant]

is that hard to use

[final hazel]

Not really, other than having to understand how to use any save editor's raw json editing to find the base dafa

Which the base building apl/blender plug-in both have documentation that explains how to do that

[kindred remnant]

i do know where to find base data

[final hazel]

Well then they explain how to do that in their guides which are in their descriptions I think

[kindred remnant]

hmm ok

@final hazel this one?

[final hazel]

Yes

[kindred remnant]

uhhh how do i install it? like every other mods or

[snow sonnet]

is there any mod that make the rear side of the flatbed becomes outright solid wall? I'm ok with the falls on shaking, but not the rear spill, and neither g high wall nor BB collision can block it completely on high speed

[final hazel]

It's not really a mod, it's an external program that allows you to move stuff however you want and then paste it's data back into the game

[kindred remnant]

oh alr

[empty trail]

Yeah you don't place it in the mods folder, it's like a separate app as grouch said

[kindred remnant]

hmm alr

i just wanna edit the height of my house

built it too close to the ground

it wouldn't bug anything right?

just want to make sure

how do i import the code

[dark apex]

Are there any performance/optimisation mods available for the game?
Also, does modding work on linux devices

[kindred remnant]

ok works now

[final hazel]

1. Not like you're imagining at all.
2. Yes, identically to Windows

[dark apex]

i assume its gonna remove visual stuff to boost performance?

[final hazel]

There's only like two or three mods related to that, one removes grass and another makes a base part that people spam for efficiency really low poly

Again, not any mods like you're expecting, we can't do a lot and the in-game graphics options are magnitudes more impactful

[dark apex]

if only they went below standard, at 30ish fps any fps more is a win so

thanks alot!

is there a link to this grass mod

[vale iron]

[merry wasp]

[quick mural]

the person that made the Exocraft Overhaul mod finally updated it for remnant!!!! now the colossus can actually carry waste with the mod installed(before, it was accelerating too fast and waste would spill out of the flatbed). they temporarily reverted the colossus's handling stats to vanilla and let it keep the hazard protection module the original mod gave it, so now you have free hazard protection while driving. i think they're gonna test different stat tweaks for the truck to see what works to rebalance it without making it incapable of hauling waste, or they might just leave it as-is
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3489

[solid hawk]

There's some auto aim properties in GCPLAYERGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN. Have at it.

[solid hawk]

Think the only one there's a mod for is AutoAim, which is boolean, to turn it off\on.

[rapid sandal]

There are also autoaim settings for each ship weapon: ... ah you mentioned "like the ship aim", missed that ... regardless, not all ship weapons have the auto-aim so you may want to change that as well.

[solid hawk]

Already a long time unique mod for the other ship weapons

So, unless for personal use only, don't want to do that.

[quick mural]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/4080 anyone know why this mod isnt working for me? i downloaded it, but when i tried to extract the zip it said it was empty. when i moved the .PART file into the zip and extracted that to mods folder, it also didn't work

i have other mods that are installed correctly and work, but none of them had a .PART file included with the download

[solid hawk]

Not a clue what a .part file is. Nothing to do with NMS

I don't even see that

Are you using some sort of download manager which breaks downloads into pieces?

[quick mural]

nope, just doing the manual download

off of nexus

[quick mural]

nope

[solid hawk]

That's what .PART indicates to me 🤷‍♂️ Could be download manager built into or plugin for whatever browser you use

If that's the case, .PART would be an incomplete download.

not a moderator application channel

[solid hawk]

If you're talking about HelloGames, nobody from there has any part of this or any other NMS related Discord. HG employees are bared from participating in any NMS related social media without the express consent of management and only two people at HG have that.

the process of altering hardware

[quick mural]

so why would the moderator team be looking for help in the channel where players are talking about game mods

[solid hawk]

That's not what happens here. This is specifically modifications to the NMS game and only the NMS game.

[zenith yacht]

@edgy locust if you are looking to apply to be a moderator for this server, you can use the #contact-us channel to submit a form. this channel is only for discussion about no mans sky modding

Anywho....which version of the mod are you trying to use, 10x, 25x, or 100x?

[edgy locust]

Im pretty good at servers though

[quick mural]

10x

but i fixed it

[solid hawk]

Ah ok, I was going to download and paste here, see if it downloaded better for you

[quick mural]

it turned out firefox was requiring verification before the file would download fully

unfortunate however that the corvette overhaul mod i had this problem with previously has been delisted from nexus

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/4049 this one

oh

[short mural]

Do yall know any mods that make the corvette building a little easier so I dont have to use glitches

[final hazel]

At best, the base building app/blender plugin

Which acts as it's own program to edit corvette base data within and export back to the game using a save editor's raw json editing

[solid hawk]

@quick mural I know that guy was using vibe coding to do his mods. May have run into an issue. Not unusual for AI to get something wrong.

[untold sluice]

that does sound notably bad for me who comes from communities like warframe

[round sinew]

@thick roost https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3364 or https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3308 either of these would do what you wanted

[thick roost]

thanks! The lower one is what I was looking for, but apparently doesn't work anymore. The comments had a link to pause be gone thing though. Need to check that out

it really should be a thing in the game already, same with mute while in background

[ocean root]

ig it kinda makes sense from a PR perspective but yeah, it doesn't sound too good

like, if you were a big fan of the game and ended up joining the dev team then you wouldn't be able to talk about the game anymore?

meanwhile for warframe after each update I usually see ppl from the art team and the like showcasing stuff they did for the update online

[solid hawk]

Hasn't really happened, but correct. They've a strict employee NDA

[hot ember]

I'm naming my firstborn after the author of Exocraft Overhaul
vehicles finally feel like vehicles instead of Hot Wheels toys

[solid hawk]

Not really bad or good, just the way HG has chosen to do things, since the beginning.

Can't fairly apply how some other game company does things. Like saying pancakes are better than waffles. Both different.

[ocean root]

well, anyways, I wanted to ask, is there some kind of mod that re-adds the mining speed stat to the multitool tab?

or at least some way to be able to see it

[glass tapir]

I swear I saw this today

Without a mod

Do you just have a module without it?

[ocean root]

oh no, I meant like the multitool's total mining speed

[glass tapir]

Oh

[fresh arch]

No and most likely there won't be

Modding UI is a pain in the ass

And even if we did find the correct file and put some new stat bar or other display in it

There's no way to tell the game to display specific stat / variable there

[glass tapir]

How hard is NMS modding anyway?(I have experience modding other games but idk)

[fresh arch]

It's not difficult but it's fairly limited

All we do is tinker with values of predefined paramaters hosted in game files that are loaded on boot

Changing value X to move / scale an object, to give bigger rewards, to get higher weapon damage, to change red to blue, that kinda thing

Nothing involving adding new properties/ variables / logic, just tinkering with whatever stuff HG already provides

Go to Nexus Mods, download some of the recently released mods that have EXML files, see for yourself how simple mods look like

[glass tapir]

Ah tbh I wanted to see if I could make a less cheesy way to perfect X-class modules than existing mods(like a quest or crafting recipe? - like combining the much less rare only maxed in in one stat modules with others until perfection)(existing ones just directly do it without much gameplay, and save reloading feels cheesy and takes forever)

If it’s like that then I don’t think I can do my idea

[fresh arch]

We can make proc tech craftable and we can modify the ranges of stats rolled

We can't make the modules roll specific stats

[glass tapir]

Nah I know existing ones allow high stats by just upgrading the range

I meant like actually having a balanced way to do that, like requiring one module that has perfect stats in each category, and then crafting menu giving a perfect module from them

I don’t think it matters much though because from what you said I doubt I can put a recipe for that

[fresh arch]

Again, nothing that would require adding new logic, variables, functions, behaviours can be done with standard mods

If vanilla game doesn't let you do that, neither will mods

[glass tapir]

What about expeditions, I know they can change the rewards and stuff

Do you think it’s possible for me to mess with the expedition files until I get balanced quests that reward perfect modules?(Note I do realize I probably can’t get it to create a new “expedition” and only kinda replace a previous one)

Like Phase 1(Exosuit)
Phase 2(Spaceship)
Phase 3(Multi-tool)

Etc

[fresh arch]

I don't deal with expeditions and I don't think that would change anything

Since random upgrades rewarded by individual milestones are still subject to the same procedural generetion

Otherwise all players would get exact the same upgrades, down to name and each stat bonus

[glass tapir]

Ima check real quick

Tbh I think it might be possible but these mission selections look odd, idk where to find the reward names, like “^RS_S1_PARTY”

[fresh arch]

In unpacked and decompiled game files

http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

Read this article get started with decompiling game files

[glass tapir]

Save editor has names

[ocean root]

the game used to have it, wouldn't it be possible to find it in an earlier version and just copy it into the newer one?

[ocean root]

oh, kinda like sticker fusion from cassette beasts

yeah that'd be neat

if anything you could at least post it in the HG NMS feedback page

could maybe also combine it with the sticker fusion upgrade mod which lets you combine 2 attributes of the same type to upgrade one of them at the cost of exponentially increasing the cost the closer it is to the cap

Also don’t expect much as I am often wrong

If the variable is removed then no

It's like trying to send a letter to someone who no longer lives at an address

@ocean root HG would have also removed or changed functions in the exe, which allowed it to work. This cannot be restored.

Soz, meant to reply to bla 🙂

if swapping terrain gen mods resulted in putting my base underground and the mod I used before is too old to work, I'm out of options, aren't I

[thin shard]

If I move my no mans sky to a different location will the mods still be in the same place or will I need to re-download them to the new download location

[hearty wasp]

you can try to move your base ig

[hearty wasp]

if you installed mods manually and are moving the entire install manually, you'll be moving the mods themselves already

if using vortex, just make sure vortex detects the new install location

vortex's problem now

[thin shard]

it's on steam deck so

[hearty wasp]

OK

So manual installation?

I hated how weak the jump was, albeit, its too strong right now, but I never liked how bad they were at jumping beside the mech.
