[empty trail]

I'll have to mess around with that myself

Which mod is that?

[frosty gust]

I made it myself

Its a simple change value i didnt upload it

Okay I'll record the jump now to show you it at a crazy value

give me a bit

ok about to test it lol

blast off time

@empty trail Here

[empty trail]

Lmao
Who needs a starship when you have the all new Ford F-150?

[frosty gust]

It made it disappear lol

[empty trail]

Does it let you set a negative value...?

[frosty gust]

I did not do that

I dont think it would let me

[empty trail]

Probably not

[frosty gust]

I now set all the jump forces to be a lot better and the air control too, so ima see how this plays out

I accidentally created bunny hopping lol

I see why they dont increase the air control as much. You can go really fast lol

I could fix that though

[carmine surge]

Any mod to place galactic scaner on corvette wall?

[final hazel]

Define "Galactic Scanner"
If you're referring to the Scanner Room interaction, which only scans an entire star system, https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3779

[thin shard]

how do I get goatfungus to work on steam deck

wait nvm figured it out

[plush wasp]

since i dont watch streamers, but wanted the companion that you could get from the twitch drops, i used save editing to "claim" it (added it via the discovery tab), but its not showing in my companion menu. Did i do something wrong?

[hearty wasp]

don't you just claim the eggs from the quicksilver robot man

[plush wasp]

idk.. i checked but it wasnt available through him

[hearty wasp]

then you prolly did do something wrong

read #nms-modding message

[plush wasp]

Recommended to edit (add) UnlockedSeasonRewards in the Account Data to then claim in the Space Anomaly.
ahh yeah that might be what i did wrong...

ill retry and see if it works using that method

[solar wave]

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1507txf/pc_how_to_unlock_all_expedition_rewards/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button Im trying to get expedition 20 rewards, following this post and i did everything correctly, but when i go to the quicksilver dude it tells me i cant get them, what did i do wrong?

[hearty wasp]

try following this instead #nms-modding message

[tiny lion]

heyo, so I have a question. For NMS, I have vectorcmdr's version of NMSSE and I was curious if the weapon or ship export and import option work, and if so, how

[final hazel]

They should work as they did before, creating a file that contains all the data related to the ship. These files do not support corvette base data, and the way it shifts around the list can break corvette linking with the base entries they are associated with

[whole prairie]

You might also try nomansapp.com. You get to pick and choose what you want that way. Like for one of them I only wanted the Singularity Engine so I used that to get the Tech then installed it.

[tiny lion]

So if I were to take a multi-tool and press export, and then go to another save and press import, it should work?

[final hazel]

Yes

[tiny lion]

alright cool. Thanks

[austere fractal]

as far as I understand, the seed of a ship determines its looks?

where they ever reverse engineered in a way that you can fully design a ship/freighter/frigatte yourself?

and then save edit the seed onto your ship?

[final hazel]

Yes, but this information is classified by Hello Games, so the only person who ever has is under NDA after Hello Games found out.

They did make a website that works off of this, which can be used semi-freely https://nms.center/

[austere fractal]

pure gold

sadly freighters are jank

[final hazel]

There's also websites like https://nmsce.com/ that allow user-submitted discoveries of their own stuff, including freighters, with somewhat better input functions

[austere fractal]

this one I already know

[oblique turtle]

hi, are there any mods that would cause a person to fall through the ramps of minor settlements? And accessing the NPC's of such minor settlements not to work, as there is no buttons apearing on the right of the screen. Is this a mod or a glitch? If a mod, does anyone know which mod causes it? I have been very conservative with adding mods, nothing that changes the environment what so ever.

[final hazel]

Vanilla bug, fixed in the next patch. If you suspect it is mods, disable them and then reboot

[oblique turtle]

thanks. looking forward to the update.

No mod to adjust or make changes to minor settlements

[austere fractal]

but conceptually, this is exactly what I was looking for, the jankiest part is the GUI

[austere fractal]

I sometimes see mods that claim to change terrain generation or planet size (never used one) how does that affect multiplayer?

does it work in multiplayer

[final hazel]

#nms-modding message

Multiplayer would truly be unaffected. Other players would continue to see what they normally see, while still connecting with you

[thin shard]

So I moved my install location on nms and I thought my infra-knife was overloaded it's not it's still got the 14 million damage supercharged

[solid hawk]

Moving the install locations won't change that if A) You also moved any applicable mods that you're using B) Using the same saves.

[thin shard]

I still got my save and my save mods

I am looking at installing goatfungus to my steam deck ik it's possible

So I'm happy either way

[thin shard]

How would I go about to installing goat fungus to steam deck

[hearty wasp]

like how you do it on windows

[thin shard]

I just download java to my steam deck as well?

[hearty wasp]

yeah

have you done that

[thin shard]

...no

I forget how simple things can be done on linux too tbh

[hearty wasp]

it's alright

but since java is cross platform you just need to make sure it's installed

[thin shard]

I forgot which is the one for linux

To the internet!

Wait unless

[hearty wasp]

you should be able to choose the platform in the java download site

[thin shard]

oh yeah I can

There's 4 options I forgot which one I need tbh

[hearty wasp]

it's prolly cpu platform dependant

[thin shard]

Well I have the LCD model so

has goat fungus updated for the new update or not yet

[final hazel]

No, but it still works for all basic stuff

ship imports/deletion are kinda brokey with corvettes in your list though, and exporting corvette base data is still all manual

as well as the latest exp rewards aren't immediately available to add

[thin shard]

I've been tryna install it to steam deck

it won't let me do it

[thin shard]

won't let me do it followed a video but oh well

whatever it's no big deal

[tender prawn]

Does anyone know any mods that add like, ambient environmental audio? I haven't seen any

[frank bridge]

It's in the vanilla game. It is more noticeable on certain planets, most notably weird planets (especially the contour subtype)

[tender prawn]

well, could still add to it ^^

[frank bridge]

true

[tender prawn]

Also, I added some visual mods and now my game like, doesn't launch? It doesn't crash, Steam says it's running, but it's not. Any common suspects for that? Or will I have to just go through all mine

[frank bridge]

which visual mods?
(or a screenshot of MODS folder)

[tender prawn]

When I was downloading them I checked the Bug and Post tabs in NexusMods, and any that mentioned not working I didn't add

[frank bridge]

You're still not mentioning which visual mods

[tender prawn]

(there's a couple non-visual mods in here, but it's mostly visual)

[tender prawn]

was working on it ^^"

I did also add ReShade, if that could cause issues

If there's no obvious culprits I'll probably just like, binary search until I find the issue

[frank bridge]

Ah, I found Dud's Skies to crash the game upon load, and Robot Lights to cause weird lighting issues
Also why do you have pak files in there

[tender prawn]

The pak files are from mods that those were the only file in the folder, so I figured that the should be put in here?

[frank bridge]

I think pak files were used for modding before 5.50

Obsoleted

[tender prawn]

Well Duds were updated like, this month so I didn't think they'd cause issues; I'll try without the mods folder first (to see if it's ReShade's fault), then the pak files, then Dud's

Ok it's not ReShade's fault, altho I am getting this error

Not the Pak Files

Ok it's at least one of DUD's mods

[frank bridge]

Yeah, I suspect it's Skies causing the issue

[tender prawn]

Launched fine with Skies, actually

I've narrowed it down to these

[frank bridge]

I found that Skies crashed immediately after loading into a save

I work fine with all of them except Asteroid, DisplayGlareReducer, and ExocraftMechanics

That's because I didn't download them

[tender prawn]

This seems to be the culprit, at least for the crash on launch

whoops

[tender prawn]

Anything I can do with that crash ID?

binary searching for a mod that crashes the game when loading into a save is gonna be a lot more annoying than for a crash on launch

[frank bridge]

I've had no idea what those would be used for, aside from reporting a bug to HG (which this should be a mod issue)

[frank bridge]

assuming there's only 1 mod causing the crash, it only takes log2(number of mods) iterations

[tender prawn]

I suppose, it's just that loading in takes time

well, more time than just hitting play on steam

[frank bridge]

true

[tender prawn]

huh, I brought it down to just these and I'm still getting that error. I wouldn't think that DUD's mods would be mutually incompatible

Ok it's Skies and something else

Or the error box is wrong and it's just Skies, I'll try that out

Skies on its own lol

[frank bridge]

lol
as I said 35 minutes ago

[tender prawn]

Do you have an alternative you'd reccomend?

[frank bridge]

I just removed it

[tender prawn]

well yea, I meant a different sky mod. I saw several ^^

Someone should make a mod that fixes it crashing when I have my second monitor turned on istg. Having to turn it off and on again every time I launch the game is getting old

I wonder what mod is causing this massive seam here. It's not something I'll deal with now tho

[frank bridge]

I've also encountered those, and they are probably lines of longitude + latitude

[vale iron]

@tender prawn Dud (Jasondude) uses MBIN files and does everything by hand, so any update to the game (two weeks ago) is highly likely to break his mods. Look at the Modding After 5.58 document pinned here for troubleshooting and getting help steps

#nms-modding message

Ambient sounds could be added, but haven't been. Usually people want them removed. You would need to specify what items you want to have ambient sounds and provide the sound file, and then hope someone wants to make it for you

[tender prawn]

Oh, I double-checked and while I thought most of these were updated in February, I must be thinking of some other mods since it says they were updated 4 months ago

[tender prawn]

It'd be cool to learn modding, I'm just not sure how complicated of a process it is for NMS. The only game I've successfully modded is Terraria, and it was a pretty basic mod at that ^^"

[vale iron]

I could piece together the steps for what you want fairly easily. It's not NMS modding 101, but not graduate level neither

!moddinglink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/22ZAU9H

[tender prawn]

:O

Dissonance Resonator is breaking something with the lighting. For now I'll just pretend that they're very bright I suppose

[vale iron]

What other mods do you have? That looks like a common bug in model mods in 6.2

[cobalt condor]

most likely the dud's robot lights

[vale iron]

Oh, I thought he had removed the Dud's mods. Yeah'

[cobalt condor]

the lights coming from corrupt drones rather than the resonators themselves

[tender prawn]

Oh!

I can try removing the robot lights mod

[vale iron]

You should remove every Dud's mod with an MBIN in its folder

[tender prawn]

yep, robot lights

[tender prawn]

which subfolders would those be in?

or not?

[vale iron]

All those "DUD" folders and search them for MBINs

[tender prawn]

Ok that might just be like., all of them

I - what's the issue with MBINs?

[vale iron]

MBINs are full file replacements, rather than patches. That means if the file has been updated by HG, there are likely problems with the old file made by the modder

EXML files are patches, so they only change individual lines, leaving the structure and other updates intact

[hot ember]

so even just having the color filter mods can cause the sentinel drones' lights to turn into flashbangs?
because I'm only running the newest Relight and I still get the effect

[cobalt condor]

If the sentinel's lights are blindingly bright, that means you're running an outdated mod that alters the Sentinel models in some way (including but not limited to anything that touches their lights)

colour and filter mods won't have anything to do with that so they shouldn't be the cause, unless something was merged that wasn't supposed to be

[vale iron]

Purge mods in Vortex then look manually at your MODS folder. Take a screenshot and post it here

[fair narwhal]

eww vortex is probably malware

[empty trail]

I only used it once to install like 30 mods in one go because I'm not that insane but then purged it from my device...so bad

[hot ember]

I'll keep using it specifically to trigger people

[empty trail]

😭

[hot ember]

(and myself, depending on the game)
it's atrocious in special cases but I use it for multiple games without problems
only for Bethesda games I'd opt for Mod Organizer 2 instead due to external tools and file handling

[carmine surge]

Any mod to edit size of corvette's part's?

[final hazel]

At best, https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2598 or https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/984

[carmine surge]

Only need to make one reactor smaller

Or invisible

Or in other part

One of those

[final hazel]

Then you can use either of those to do that, read their documentation

[sterile island]

does anyone know a good mod that increases stack size that is currently working

[abstract stag]

i downloaded all the mods again that had an update after the update, shoudl i try removing all mods and adding them in 1 by 1 again in case they casue some issues or jsut add the updated ones?

casue i had one that made my ship glow, but that one wasnt updated

like my corvette callilng is also buged. thats really sad

nvm its the whole corvette, then ill do a lot of rmeooooving again

[vale iron]

Search your MODS folder for "SCENE.MBIN" and remove those mods

[abstract stag]

ok, theres a mod updated yesterday that also has that. so all mods that have that or only old mods that have that?

[vale iron]

Anything updated in the past week is probably ok

[abstract stag]

so those files shoudl be the only that mess me up and the mods that dont have those files are good?

[vale iron]

Those would be what might cause glaring lights

[abstract stag]

what about your corvette bacta and mission terminal mods, they say they were updated at the 12th

[vale iron]

Those are fine

So two weeks 🙂

[abstract stag]

ok, ill try to play then now and if i encounter more issues maybe try reinstalling all again, that was a huge help already 🙂

[abstract stag]

btw love that the med and bacta work again, soooo cool. youre the best

[warm lake]

why doesn't the game have replacer mod? like the one where they replace the astronaut with dinosaur or something for example

[vale iron]

Because we can't really do animation modding and bones are difficult

[warm lake]

I see, so I mean it's not because it's bannable, right

[vale iron]

Correct

HG doesn't care what you do if you don't fuck with other players

[abstract stag]

rest of the mods looks good so far, no issues

[abstract stag]

can i determine load order somehwo? i ahve this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3489 but since the dude doesnt play anymore and jsut changed something in the colossus id like to also use this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/4089

[cobalt condor]

Exocraft overhaul says it doesn't change the colossus so they probably wont conflict at all. But if you want to force load order to be sure, rename the mod you want to have higher priority so that its first in alphabetical order and then delete the modsettings file so the order is recalculated

[steady plover]

Anyone here?

I need help...
If I want to delete the json for deepest planet...
Should I delete the entire entry?

[slim badge]

hi

would anyone know of any mods which completely remove corvette building restrictions, i dont mean just removing a parts restriction i mean something like removing the no hab warning

[final hazel]

Do you mean that you want to reset your wonder record for deepest ocean? Just find the value in the wonder planet records and set it to 0

If you delete the entry entirely (like more than just the number), the game would most likely fail to read that part of the save and consider it corrupt, which would be bad

[crimson harbor]

hey guys im looking for a mod that removes the corvet building limit

[final hazel]

It's the first one on nexus when you search "Corvette"

[crimson harbor]

idk

i cant find oneä

[final hazel]

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

[crimson harbor]

thanks

[slim badge]

?

[cobalt condor]

There isn't any mod that does that, but if you use any of the external corvette building tools or even just a save editor you can have a corvette without required parts (think you always need a cockpit though)

[strange valve]

whats the mod that lets you play earlier expeditions

and do i use vortex

[final hazel]

It's not a mod, it's just replacing a file and keeping your game offline https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/

[strange valve]

alr, do i use vortex?

[final hazel]

Again, it's not a mod. Vortex would not have data to comprehend that file or know where it goes/what it replaces.

[strange valve]

i mean for mods in general lol

[final hazel]

Oh, yes, you can use it for mods

[strange valve]

okay thanks

[final hazel]

NMS mods is just dragging and dropping folders though, so it's absolutely not necessary

[strange valve]

yeah i know how mods work

[strange valve]

does changing any of the difficulty settings in the website affect characters with difficulty locked?

[final hazel]

Probably not at all

[abstract stag]

how can i make that i cna acceess other expeditions? i need the jetpack of ex 1 for my outfit

do u need to do more with consumerism than to add it? the stuff doenst show up

[wind agate]

is there a mod that adds more galaxy map filters

[hearty wasp]

I just don't touch the price because it's in product table

[final hazel]

At best, there is one that makes outlaw systems a different color in the conflict filter https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/4055

[hearty wasp]

People can just get Communism anyway

[final hazel]

Why not?

[hearty wasp]

Less time updating

If at all

[wind agate]

I was hoping to filter by star color at least, gray out all systems that aren't purple etc

[final hazel]

At best I have one I've been using that I could send that makes the colors super obvious

I've been procrastinating posting it since it's so small

[wind agate]

ty

[final hazel]

To make it even more clear, use one of the colorblind options which make space white and disable most of the space fog effects. To remove the remaining effects, use https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1586

(with the mod, I made the colorblind options use the same colors as normal)

[bold island]

is there a mod to make items stored in corvette storage modules count towards building and crafting or one that makes them increase the actual vehivles storage, its kinda annoying having to get on my ship and look through my storage and find the box that has the items i need.

[bold island]

also what has the most mods for the game, i just went to nexus but idk if this game has more on another site or app

[final hazel]

There is not. At best, you could use the Matter Beam on your freighter to achieve this I believe, especially since your freighter's inventory allows you to browse through all 10 storage containers far more freely

[final hazel]

Nearly all mods for NMS are on nexus.

[bold island]

ok thanks

[empty trail]

Fortunately the entire ship is like 1000 quicksilver on the next page or two

[abstract stag]

Öööh that's the razor crest thing! Didn't realize that. I don't know if I'm buged but I can only trade those ships in for my current one for nanites and it doesn't cost any quicksilver

But the most important thing was that expedition 1 jetpack, I'm really pretty now

[abstract stag]

but thats cool,. so i could buuild a cargo thing with that parts and customize the color then, seem slike no other ship has that

[hot ember]

you can also edit the quicksilver into your save file

[abstract stag]

i want to modify this mod file so the derelict freighters have an even hihger chance for salvaged frigate modules. someone commented values to change, but they are differetnt in my file. where do i need to adjsut values? right at the top the percentage3 chance up and for amount the values in that thing too?

im jsut confused casue the comment looks different

[wind agate]

is there a mod that adds an altimeter to the UI or ship cockpit dashboard

[final hazel]

Mods cannot add new functionality like that, so no

[wind agate]

I mean, there's a mod that adds a colossus tech tree to the scrapyard UI, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[final hazel]

Tech trees already exist in the game, that is not new functionality

that's just replacing one existing interaction with another existing one
(though the way it works internally is super goofy due to customization options not being easy to just "give" since they're not blueprints)

[wind agate]

I greatly dislike arriving at a new planet, only to find that it's currently storming and I can't see the ground to know if I'm about to nosedive into a mountain

[slim badge]

external building tools?

[final hazel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2598 or https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/984

The reward table has changed some since I made the mod. If you want to increase chance, just increase the number in the EXML

[novel blade]

Is there a mod to improve the experience in VR?

[solid hawk]

https://www.nexusmods.com/games/nomanssky/mods?keyword=vr&sort=updatedAt

[fair narwhal]

yeah you can pretty much fuck with anything you want to in any of the EXML files, and the results can be either absolutely nothing, your game crash and it not even work at all, it work and be insanely broken

*not * any, and plus they are MXML, you gotta save as EXML , yall ALL already know this shit, but yeah , any fuckin number value you find, i dare you to change it to anything you want, and load up the game with that in ur mods

anything up to the max unsigned 32 bit integer both positive and negative, (i assume, dont quote me on it, i am litearlly not knowing what i'm even doing, but i just literally throw paint on the canvas and hope something happens)

its a shot in the dark

that is if you are like me and stupid

like I dont even know what damping means, but the lower i make it , the faster stuff goes

and when i make it a negative number, it goes crazy

[abstract stag]

oh lol, thats also one of yours xD. so that first paragraph woul dbe the right one with the numbers changed for derellicts?

[strange valve]

im using nms save edit to fix my game and after doing so this showed up, i dont know which to chose, should i replace my save or do another one or like what? i dont want to risk messing it up

save into a new slot
always have a backup, always

[fallen palm]

anyone else here using Prepare to Sky Edition? if so, do you have tips for on foot combat in the early-ish game?

My shields are getting drained way too quickly to kill even one sentinel. I have 1x S class and 1x A class shield upgrade, the personal forcefield, and supercharged boltcaster + supercharged S class boltcaster upgrade, plus a Barrel Ionizer and another A class procedural boltcaster upgrade.

And I cannot avoid the combat because I need to kill sentinels to open the facility doors to progress the Artemis and Armorer questlines

[vale iron]

Do you have the laser? That with the paralysis upgrades can stun lock enemies

[vale iron]

Yeah, any of those lists are still good, just the default values have changed some and there have been new ones added, so the math won't work out the same; but, increasing the value will increase their spawn chance. It's a relative weight system

[fallen palm]

What do you mean by "the laser"?

[strange valve]

I just saved it without doing allat and it's fine

[strange valve]

am i able to get aeron blueprints with nms save editor? they arent showing up

or do i gotta go back and do the expedition

[vale iron]

Multitool, blaze javelin

[untold sluice]

is there any such thing as a mod manager for nms?

[hot ember]

not in the sense how most games utilize mod managers
Vortex, if you really dislike manual file moving

[untold sluice]

let me ask how exactly is mod msngaing
manual one
like in nms

will i have to manually spread a file across hald a dozen folders or will it be more so unpsck a zip in a folder or drop a file in a folder

[hot ember]

guide is in pins

[untold sluice]

ah

i see

thanks

[untold sluice]

do i have to make the mods folder myself? or am i looking at the wrong place

opened local files from steam

went to gamedata
asking just in case im supposed to be looking at some other file locstion

[novel blade]

Most of them are abandoned

[strange valve]

there a mod i can use to resize corvette parts

[frank bridge]

resized corvette parts act weirdly

[untold sluice]

namely phasing through them from what i seen

[strange valve]

i wanna make the engines/ generators really small

bc the two by one generator is really obnoxious

[final hazel]

At best, you can use external editors like https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2598 or https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/984

[final hazel]

You could just... not place that one. It's bonus isn't very substantial, especially since corvettes already have an insanely high shield bonus

[strange valve]

what abt like madusa

i like min maxing my ship

also do corvettes usually have such low maneuverability

[final hazel]

Yes, when unupgraded

[strange valve]

kk

even when i had it upgraded it couldnt turn that well

[final hazel]

When you have three thrusters, some Medusa reactors and all the pulse engine stuff includong 3 upgrades then it feels normal

[strange valve]

yeah ive got all the parts

im just remaking it

it was too bulky and large

mainly on the corvette bc its insane damage

[vale iron]

Beyond Base Building might allow resizing corvette parts; I'm not sure

[final hazel]

It doesn't, they fully rely on snapping

[abstract stag]

do u know what the span chance per container is rn? i think the code refers to any of those after scan pinbk glowing ones? to know to how high i need to adjsut the thing, i want more frequesnt spawns of 1, so like 3 at least from one freighter looted

[final hazel]

and I think the corvette editor just doesn't support resizing on a fundamental level, similar to rotation on most modules

[vale iron]

3 in one loot? The mod doesn't change the quantity, so that won't happen

Just experiment. Triple the one you want and see what happens 🙂

[abstract stag]

not 3 in one chest but 3 after having looted all chests. but the mods files also say quantity min and max?

[vale iron]

I would have to look, and it's honestly not on the top of my priority list

It's been a long time since I adapted that to 5.5+, and much longer since I made the mod

[abstract stag]

so the blue for chance to have one in 1 container and the green how many you get each time or am i missing something?

[fair narwhal]

Lmk when nom nom works again

It won't let me edit my save aside from the raw json

Any of my saves lmao

put in a mod folder , the foder inside that name it GLOBALS

and you will never die no matter what difficulty

even permadeath

just copy paste that shit i put into notepad, save as EXML, entirely skip the whole compiler thing , just a freebie im giving away

you gotta name it this GCDEBUGOPTIONS.GLOBAL.EXML

dont save as a .txt

idc copy this whoever gives a shit enough , then you can fly thru space without a ship

copy this for every gun be semi-automatic (shoot as fast as you can pull trigger or click mouse, without delay or recoil)

i have turbo controller so it just looks like mines automatic

[fair narwhal]

was drunk when recording that im sorry

[abstract stag]

if i tell you the base is 2.5%, can you tell me how much this amount of 20 weigs it?

[vale iron]

No, because it's a weighted chance. It depends on the total number of "percentage chance", divided by the "chance" of that particular item.

It's not actually percentage

[untold sluice]

@trail brook is this not how they are supposed to be?

do i gotta dig in the folders more?

note only one of thwse i tested and see it didnt work was the customizeable third person one

[trail brook]

all of the mods I have installed by extracting the folder from the packaged zip and theyve worked

[untold sluice]

the others i havent had the chsnce to check yet

[final hazel]

What does it look like inside of "NMS Customizable Third Person Camera" folder?

[untold sluice]

ooooh

i see the issue

i missed a chunk of the mods description

havw to move some files to binaries

[trail brook]

always always always read the mod page lol

[hot ember]

the entire mod page

[untold sluice]

i did but apparently phone version of nexus page cut some bit off

[trail brook]

indeed 90% of the time theres a mod problem some minutia on the modpage explains a detail that causes problems if you miss it

[fair narwhal]

my mods were made by a spastic (me)

[trail brook]

it always takes a unique variant of lunatic to dedicate the time to making their own mods

[fair narwhal]

i like making stuff that makes my character spin at ftl speed

and teleport everywhere

[trail brook]

its something of a curse because once u start making ur own, you're compelled to learn other systems for new games youre into, and some games have modding logic that defies all rational

[fair narwhal]

i do what i want as long as i dont kill other players or crash their game

or mess their own game up

[trail brook]

rimworld modding is the most frustrating to deal with imo because it combines the absolute suffering of writing code with trying to make all of the other assets and such function together, but if youre really good at C# then you may not have the same experience

[fair narwhal]

ive never killed another player in my life

in nms

[trail brook]

nms is very unique though since, like you said, ur mods can impact others

I can't imagine a reason a camera mod would need to be in BINARIES

[untold sluice]

custom controls to modify the camera inside the game

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/4096

its this mod

#no-mans-sky message

this a lil video i posted of the mod working

im guessing having 3rd person camera that is modified on the fly is a little bit more complex but i aint got any idea of mods in this game nor what is or isnt normal

[final hazel]

Mods cannot add new functionality like this, this technically is not a mod. It's more of a memory injection thingy

[untold sluice]

i aint got any idea what any of that menas

[final hazel]

It means that it's external code that modifies how NMS functions, whereas all NMS modding normally is is file replacement/modification

[untold sluice]

i see

[final hazel]

This normally is not done, as the exe/memory is very hard to document due to obfuscation and not following known stuff, and small updates can break mods like these much quicker

[untold sluice]

makes sense

[vale iron]

I'm not familiar with the mod nor the author, but it looks legit and I can see why it would need to be in BINARIES now. Thanks.

[bronze kestrel]

Hi, I would like it if somebody could tell me if this mod works for other game versions from other stores (GOG, XBOX). I'm curious to know!

[bronze kestrel]

im thinking about changing how the mod is installed. I could put the .mods file and the .ini file in a folder that goes into No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA\MODS (like .pak mods) and have the modloader(version.dll) go into No Man's Sky\Binaries

[hearty wasp]

All versions on PC are the same so yeah

[vale iron]

Splitting between two different folders would be more confusing for users. Best to keep it all in one folder, if possible.

[solid hawk]

There are no .pak mods anymore, haven't been for over a year.

Get what you're saying, just .pak mods are no longer valid and will not work.

[bronze kestrel]

Awesome 👍

[bronze kestrel]

I agree, I'll stick to the current installation method, but people seem not be familiar with mods like this for No Man's Sky

[bronze kestrel]

Got it!

[tired mango]

What’s the quickest way to get parts for a corvette? I keep seeing I need to collect scrap ship parts but how do you find those?

[final hazel]

Are you asking about how to find corvette parts normally? This channel is for asking/talking about about mods for the PC version of NMS

[tired mango]

Well kind of yes lol. Are their parts in the save editor that I can unlock? I’m using nomnom

[final hazel]

Yes. You can unlock the expedition-exclusive corvette modules in the account editing section, under "Collect Expedition Rewards"

[tired mango]

Ok I did that but when I go to the ship modular in space station everything is greyed out

[final hazel]

Did you claim them from the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion?

Also, this would only unlock the expedition-exclusive blueprints

[tired mango]

Oh when I go there, it says everything‘s already owned, but I don’t know how to collect anything in the Quicksilver area

[final hazel]

If you want to build freely, just set Crafting to Free in the difficulty options

[tired mango]

The only thing that’s available to purchase is a void egg, but it won’t even let me buy that

[tired mango]

Ok gotcha thanks I will try that

[final hazel]

Do you have enough Quicksilver to purchase it? All of the Quicksilver offerings require the currency, even if Purchases is set to Free

[tired mango]

Yes I do

[tired mango]

Where do I build them?

[final hazel]

Build what?

[tired mango]

Corvette

[final hazel]

At the Corvette Workshop, aboard any Space Station

[tired mango]

Ok I found it, I have to actually build from scratch lmao. I thought there were some already preset ones that I could use, but I guess not.

[final hazel]

There's no preset corvettes.

All corvettes are built by the player

[final hazel]

Some people just think that every game has it's own form of Minecraft's Sodium/Lithium/Nvidium/etc

[last pollen]

... A question regarding the current "paradigm" of how modding is done:
Is there stuff that's specifically "off limits"?
Like, are people only "allowed" to modify some aspects of the game...?
Is it regulated?

The reason I am curious is because...
I've seen mod authors replying to user comments by saying things like "that's not possible to mod" or "no one will EVER create a mod that does that"
...when what the users are asking for is stuff that you can actually do in vanilla but is just tricky to pull off due to timing/reflexes.

I'm honestly surprised there isn't a mod out there that REINFORCES the "glitch building" techniques that are practically the single saving grace of the game's entire construction engine. Clearly there's stuff happening in the software already that is extremely advantageous to enterprising and creative builders. Is there some kind of RULE in, say, the EULA, that declares interacting with these software phenomena using third party programming as off-limits?

I'm just trying to understand why this isn't a thing.

I don't know if I honestly am capable of learning how to mod all by myself just to look into doing this, but if there IS something that will stop me dead in my tracks lest I be banned from the game or something, it'd sure be helpful to know that BEFORE I waste a bunch of time trying to study a skill I won't be able to use >.>

[final hazel]

All we can do with mods is change existing data files, we don't have access to the exe and we don't have the tools that HG have access to to interpret said files

[last pollen]

Ohhhhhhhh...
Okay that actually does somewhat answer it for me.
Unlike some other games, it's sounding like there are certain aspects of the in-game resources that are less obfuscated than others, whereas with games like Minecraft the community has practically jailbroken, entirely reverse-engineered, and vicariously "de-obfuscated" the core code, but since that hasn't been NECESSARY to achieve stuff in no man's sky, that bridge hasn't been crossed before...
(So crossing it would be a big deal due to lack of precedent)

And goodness knows how hello games would feel about that bridge being crossed. Some developers are cool with it, and it takes a great degree of trust to just let your user base in like that...

[cobalt condor]

Not sure what the specific example you have in mind is, but yeah, that's pretty much it. If someone said that a mod to expand glitch building isn't possible, it wouldn't be because thats disallowed, just that the values necessary to do so aren't exposed to the files we can modify with No Man's Sky's built in mod loading system.

The EULA says not to reverse engineer or modify the game at all, which could apply to any and all mods. Obviously they don't enforce it against mods and they've given us a built in mod loading system so they're cool with what we do. There have been a few cases of people working on 'script extender' type projects before, and Hello Games has never stepped in on any of those as far as I'm aware (though they have stopped some other reverse engineering projects before), but those sorts of tools tend not to survive the frequent update cycle so there haven't been that many

[last pollen]

Oh my, that explains a whole lot indeed! So if I did learn how to inject code that made the timing window for "universal adjacency" or "wire" or "scale" glitches wider, it'd only last a couple weeks until another hotfix comes out perhaps.

Well. I just really hope HG doesn't patch out the glitch techniques x.x;;
Because holy cow they are useful.
It's a game changer being able to snap all the disparate construction objects to a unified reference point.
Lining up Universal Building System walls/floors/ramps perfectly with prefab cuboid/large hab/corridor pieces and structural adornment primatives creates some extremely satisfying geometry
-# (architecture is my oldest, dearest special interest...)

[empty kite]

So I've just read the bit about mods being 100% compatible with multiplayer, and want to confirm mods such as flatbed friction and beyond base building, mentioned briefly here #nms-expedition message. How does driving a colossus in the anomaly work/look for other players, and I'm guessing scrap in the truck is client-synced so other people wouldn't see scrap regardless of if it's modded or not?

[last pollen]

... Okay so from what I've been able to glean from my own prior investigation on this subject is that what makes mods "compatible with multiplayer" is that they are not bringing in any bespoke assets that other people would need to download in order to see.

Everyone has the models and scripting for the appearance and behavior of the Colossus in their vanilla game. Bringing it to the anomaly .. would probably not be very good of an idea because the place just ain't built to accommodate it. But even if you did bring it to the anomaly, as far as I can tell, it'd only get there by being summoned to the deployment platform. Which teleports it. Which I'm pretty sure drops everything in its cargo bed. If you try to fly your Corvette with the Colossus summoned, your Corvette and the Colossus just phase through each other don't they?

[empty kite]

I have no clue but that would be my presumption, I just wasn't sure if the other clients would even accept the idea of a colossus being on the anomaly lol. The flatbed question is a different question about whether others would see my cargo flying everywhere or not

[cobalt condor]

Other players would see the colossus same as if it was on a planet with them. When you have scrap in your truck bed, the physics calculations are happening on your end and the postions of the scrap are being synced to other players, so they should see the scrap doing whatever it's doing on your client

[last pollen]

I believe the other clients would render the Colossus at least while it's within the instance volume of your Corvette... But I also wouldn't be surprised if it just clipped through the floor of the anomaly once you drove it off your Corvette >.> Or if it just didn't render. Or if it were instantly despawned.

Okay ayymang knows way more than me so I shall defer to the statement ayymang said.

[empty kite]

so glad that NMS isn't really a pvp game so you can do client authed physics changes like that 🙏

[final hazel]

It follows the same collision that players use, and it's position is synced with other players regardless of anything I believe

[empty trail]

I suppose you could also always create macros with external programs to get the timings for glitch techniques perfect

[empty kite]

lol

[last pollen]

I believe the reason I couldn't get the timings to work on Linux for universal adjacency was something to do with the compatibility layer steam uses to relay keyboard input into the game client session... But I could get wire glitch to work because the mouse inputs were not being held up / delayed / quantized like the keyboard inputs were.

So I might try the macro route

Perhaps it can bypass the keyboard relay by emulating "virtual" controller button presses.

[empty trail]

Quite possibly! (I have no idea)

[last pollen]

Well you gave me a neat idea I'm looking forward to trying sometime so thanks for that :D

[empty trail]

Ofc :)

Glitch building is harder on PC than controller (I almost exploded making my last build... so much wire glitching. I mean it's fine unless you have about a 2/3 chance to fail the wire glitch every time) so that's when I came up with the idea for macros to make it easier

[last pollen]

Also to everyone else here, thank you all so much for being patient with me and taking the time to explain the greater context of the modding scene for me. I have over the years come to recognize that I often sound more argumentative than I ever want to... So it means a lot to me when people keep a cool head and don't perceive my unintentionally harsh, blunt, or otherwise disagreeable tone as an insult or a challenge--because it truly isn't x.x;;; I'm just socially inept a lot... My only defense is mindfulness so sometimes all I can do is be grateful when I don't make a mess, heh.

[empty kite]

how do I know if the mods are installed correctly and doing what they're meant to? Not seeing any obvious indicator and the friction still feels fairly slidly on the flatbed one I added

[final hazel]

You would get a mod warning on startup, as detailed in the mod installation and troubleshooting guide http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

[empty kite]

ah ok, vortex drive assumption issue I think

game is on D, presumes C (for staging)

[solid hawk]

Not a good indicator. If you have a single folder in MODS, with one level too deep, you'll still get the mod warning

[final hazel]

That too, which is why I linked the guide

[solid hawk]

Sort of read as, if you get the warning, all may be ok

[solid hawk]

That the only mod installed? Can you post a screenshot of your MODS folder, including the address bar?

[solar smelt]

Exocrafts (except the Minotaur) work in the anomaly. Everything there has collision. The nautilus can just fly around. You can even attack other players, but even though there are damage numbers, it doesn’t actually seem to do anything to other players. You can summon them by placing an exocraft bay on your corvette. Note that most of the time if you summon the vehicle from the bay, when you get out of the vehicle you will clip through the floor of the anomaly. It’s okay though because after falling long enough you can just call your ship.

[empty kite]

I got it fixed now, it was vortex not installing it properly

looking for a mod to mute the personal refiner, i found one on nexus but it hasn't been updated since 2022. if none exist, how would i go about making my own?

Good example of why asking the same thing in multiple places at once is a bad idea

[empty kite]

if stuff like scrap and vehicles are player authoritative, it should be possible to change the physics surrounding scrap and the flatbed entirely right?

(like change the mass, change how it stays on the flatbed, etc.)

[cobalt condor]

To an extent, yes.

Here's what the physics values we can change look like, these ones are for the medium sized scrap objects:

[dark saddle]

How much does this option matter for the Pioneer Redux Expedition?

[obtuse beacon]

from my understanding, yellow systems has majority of the starting resources, starting on a non-yellow system can potentially leave you trapped, or can result in you unable to return to the system till you upgrade your ship with a special drive.

[frigid grove]

Not much. I changed it to a yellow star because that’s what it originally was, but during some update it flipped to a blue star system, so as soon as you load in it auto completes the milestone to go to a blue star system. Just trying to maintain the spirit of the expedition.

Possibly green, I forget.

[rich kiln]

does anyone have a good hud mod?

[dark saddle]

It's green. That's kind of funny though. Was this a freebie Milestone originally in the redux or did Soshal just change it's type due to the mentioned update?

[final hazel]

star colors have been the same since like 1.0 I believe, or at least the NEXT update in 2018

[dark saddle]

More reason to uncheck that box. Just that one tho, the General Patches feel mandatory.

[frigid grove]

What's a Soshal

[frigid grove]

I mean I doubt they originally put the expedition on a green star and added a milestone to visit a green star system.

[dark saddle]

The System you start in.

[frigid grove]

Oh right, I'm checking youtube to see if I can figure out where it was originally

Remind me to stop giving HG the benefit of the doubt

[timber temple]

haven't touched mods much, but is there anything that helps with sorting out like, visited planets, and other catalogued discoveries?

[solid hawk]

Nope, nor can mods do that. That data is stored in save-files, which mods cannot directly touch

[timber temple]

ahhh i see

unfortunate but makes sense

[carmine surge]

I think it is lowkey possible. Make gui/program who switch json file's in number's

[solid hawk]

The ask was specifically about mods and holds true. You can do more with 3rd party external programs, but those are not too common with NMS, because few people with programming expertise in the community and those 3rd party programs are VERY succeptible to NMS update based breakages.

[round sinew]

@minor portal see image - i had to use vectorcmdr's fork of nmsse to see them

for ref https://github.com/vectorcmdr/NMSSaveEditor

i didnt check why there's so many albatross cargo tanks though lol

@minor portal just make sure you backup your save folder before doing anything

[tranquil vale]

what mod lets me unlock all the past expeditions

[final hazel]

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

[minor portal]

thank you. is there any way to get them faster instead of manually selecting and adding each one?

[round sinew]

hmm, not sure sorry

[solid hawk]

None that would currently function. Only one there was is outdated. I pinged the author of it awhile ago.

[solid hawk]

I checked in POSTS and BUGS for the mod, not seeing anything reported from Thal. If you sent via DM, LOTS of mod authors will ignore those and never check them. We get pelted with a lot of DM for things which should be posted in public, because it would help others with the same issue or question.

[solid hawk]

This is an updated version to current. GIve it a try.

Install the mod, place the base computer, save. Remove the mod.

For a little more info about what the mod does, see the mod called Have a Foot in the Door on NexusMods

[teal fulcrum]

Interesting, it must not have gone through. I will double check the report

[solid hawk]

If this is simply some text issues, can fix them for yourself by editing the LocTable.MXML file in the mod folder. Wouldn't be surprised by typos as the author is ESL.

[teal fulcrum]

I posted under a different name, just changed it to TheRealThal. Bug was posted 2/8/2026. 08 February 2026, 7:26PM
In finding planets with the weather of reeking or marshy the weather under planet data comes up as WEATHER_SWAMP_EXTREME# with a number sign. The text file has the correct info but it doesn't translate to ingame.

I am using the Detailed version

I did check the LocTable.mxml file and for example <Property name="Id" value="WEATHER_SWAMP_EXTREME9" /> is what shows on the planet scan and the table has the English values as "<Property name="English" value="Boiling Catastrophe - Frequent Storms" />" so not sure why it isn't translating

Not a huge thing but haven't seen another mod like it

[solid hawk]

Might not help at all, but minor change I had to make in some of my mods using LocTable awhile ago.

[dim coral]

hi, any mod to remove this engine lines?

[teal fulcrum]

Thanks, I will give it a go

[solid hawk]

I checked and the ids haven't changed, still WEATHER_SWAMP_EXTREME1, etc

Let me know if the version I gave you helps at all

[teal fulcrum]

Will do

[dim coral]

or someone know how to edit the values for a less line?

[solid hawk]

Maybe Better Subtle Ship Trails

[dim coral]

Thx! find this one, but no update.

[solid hawk]

That's from 2018. No mod from prior to 29 January 2025 has any chance of working

See what this does

[dim coral]

sry, im new here..

is just for copy and past in the specific folder?

[dim coral]

i moved the .zip to the mod past in the game and no work, still see the trails

[thorny osprey]

Is there a mod that lets you extend teleport cables to unlimited length or like up to 2000 u?

[solid hawk]

I have NO idea what "to the mod past in the game" means. Extract the .zip contents into GAMEDATA\MODS, like every other NMS mod.

[solid hawk]

No such thing as unlimited, always a limit of some sort. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1369

[thorny osprey]

This looks like more than enough. thank you!!

[dark saddle]

Is it possible with the offline expeditions to go online and come back to them later, or would going online kill my progress, etc.?

[fresh arch]

The moment you go online, game will replace the old exped file with current exped file, messing it up completely

You need to stay offline to complete older exped

[dark saddle]

Rough. Appreciate the answer. 🙂

[fair narwhal]

Playerglobals is such a fun thing to edit

and so is vehichleglobals

hell most of the globals

[frigid grove]

You can go online as long as you don't load that save. So you can play other saves online, close the game, go offline, replace the json file, then load your save.

[fair narwhal]

most of the globals and tables are a monkey in a barrel of banannas

for me anyway

i feel like a monkey in a barrel of banannas

why did HG make no man's sky so damn fun to mod

[dark saddle]

Nice, shame I only have the one save. Gonna try and get through it as soon as I can then. xD

[fair narwhal]

like this isnt singleplayer what im doing , why am i allowed to abuse mods so much ?

im more abusive to my game then a drunken man is to his spouse

[fair narwhal]

i never kill any players tho

thats my rule

nor kidnap people or crash people

[frigid grove]

ok, I wanted to make sure I tested this before saying it:

You CAN go online on your expedition save as long as you switch to your primary save first.

1. Click Return to Primary Save in the OPTIONS menu
2. Once your primary save is loaded, close the game, go online, and open the game again
3. Do whatever you need to do online, save your game then close it
4. Go offline, restore the expedition json for the expedition you were on, then load your game
5. Resume the expedition at the expedition terminal on the Anomaly

[dark saddle]

Oh dang, that's great. Thanks for the follow up. 😄

[icy ore]

How do you kidnap people in this game, lol ?

I'm trying to find information regarding a specific Mission using NomNom. I've found where it says current mission is WATERSTORY1, but then I can't find that in the individual folders under MissionProgress. When I click on MissionProgress, the pane on the right I can find WATERSTORY1, but I don't know what to make of the information. This is the Dreams of the Deep mission.

[fresh arch]

Most likely progress value refers to specific step in mission structure chain

Mission stuff is hosted in game files, you need unpacked and decompiled game files if you want to take a look

I don't know why would you need to look into the files for missions but I recommend not to, it's an absolute mess only few people have dealt with

[fair narwhal]

I don't actually know

So how can I do something I don't know how to do not want to do

Even if I learned I would not do it because that's just a evil move like they don't even know what hit them

[pseudo knoll]

if they're in your corvette when you leave the anomaly they stay in it

[spare portal]

I see some people corvettes have sideways thrusters, is there a mod to turn the thrusters?

[final hazel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2598 or https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/984, see their documentation/guides

[spare portal]

ah dem, need blender.

[final hazel]

No, you can use the Base Building App instead if you don't understand Blender

[spare portal]

but i assume the blender one can do much more right?

like doing a fine detail and such

[final hazel]

Both have the same possibilities really

If you understand Blender a lot, it may be better

[spare portal]

tried to understand blender but i gave up kekw

but thanks for the info, ill look into both of this 👍

[brazen thunder]

What's the problem? I play for half an hour and it crashes.

[hearty wasp]

the game

if it's random and not replicable then it's just game being buggy

[brazen thunder]

ha?

[hearty wasp]

yeah

[brazen thunder]

I'm relying on translation assistance. Could you please be a little more descriptive? I would appreciate it.

I play on steam

[hearty wasp]

the game is buggy

the game is the problem

[brazen thunder]

My save file?

[hearty wasp]

no

No Man's Sky the video game

the video game itself

[brazen thunder]

I verified the files, deleted them, and reinstalled them.

[hearty wasp]

that is irrelevant

the developers of the game can make mistakes

those mistakes make the game buggy

it is not your fault

do not worry

[spare portal]

is there a way to make the json editor of nomnom not so laggy?, everytime i open it and try to scroll down its so laggy, worse when opening a folder in it especially if it has long name cause the window keep resizing it self.

[pseudo knoll]

as far as im aware thats just how nomnom is

it was laggy for me and if it was fixable i would imagine that'd be default behavior

[spare portal]

ah yikes, guess ill just live with it

[frigid grove]

How does it compare to the goatfungus NMSSaveEditor?

[spare portal]

tbh not sure, so far i'm only using nomnom

[frigid grove]

I haven't used nomnom since the goatfungus one has done what I've needed so far. The json editor is a little janky but seems overall fine.

[spare portal]

hmm, seems like every json editor is janky, might be because its a big file getting edited

[frigid grove]

Oh most definitely. And also because rolling your own text editor is always a bad idea.

Unfortunately it'd be hard to use an existing json editor because NMS uses invalid json.

[spare portal]

is it possible to edit the json via external editor?, something like vscode

[frigid grove]

goatfungus has a simple export feature, but if you use anything that validates json or rewrites broken stuff etc it may complain/break your save.

[spare portal]

haiyah.... guess ill just leave with it (2)

editing the saves are nice, but this lag will just make it less nice

[pseudo knoll]

Unfortunately it'd be hard to use an existing json editor because NMS uses invalid json.
really? is this a byproduct of how tiny the save file sizes are with how big the expanded JSON result is? something is lost in compression?

[frigid grove]

I honestly don't know how the hell they managed it, but it uses an invalid charset. This generally only comes up when you have packaged X class upgrade modules, but those are saved with characters that are out of range of utf8/16/32. It also uses null terminators and the old windows line breaks, which actually increase the size of the json for no reason, but those aren't invalid.

[pseudo knoll]

LOL

delightful

[frigid grove]

I wrote an in-browser save editor for fun and quickly realized if JavaScript even so much as read the data, it would re-encode it to utf8 and break any save with those types of characters. The only way I'd be able to do it is if I kept it as a binary string and made edits in a binary string object before writing to a download stream.

Decompressing the LZ4 was slow as shit anyway so it was mostly a dead-end thing anyway.

[solid hawk]

That's how HG wants it to be. They design things to be used by themselves and ONLY themselves with their own internal tools.

HG isn't going to change things to be used by players more easily with 3rd party editors because there's no need or desire for them to do so.

[frigid grove]

I mean it's all easy enough to get around. I think that's just legacy crap they have that they don't really need to fix.

[pseudo knoll]

yeah probably

[solid hawk]

In fact, if you were to have an issue with your save after save editing with Goatfungus, NomNom or whatever, and were to contact HG about it, they'd let you know that this is unsupported and to go pound sand.

[pseudo knoll]

as they should

[frigid grove]

The windows-style line breaks and old-school windows charset make me think they ended up using some old, non-compliant json encoder from the stone ages. Which makes sense given how everything else "works" in this game.

[pseudo knoll]

its kinda ridiculous to expect official support with that anyways

[solid hawk]

Exactly. Same thing with mods.

The ability to mod exists, anything beyond that is unsupported and at own risk.

[pseudo knoll]

yeah thats why the mod warning shows up every launch

[frigid grove]

I'd bet you there was a time when the save files were XML, and there was a last-minute decision to make them json instead so they wouldn't be 30 times bigger for no reason, lol.

[spare portal]

using the NMS Base Building App to edit my corvette but what is this?

and this thing somehow also got moved somewhere it wasn't suppose to be originally

[solid hawk]

Base Building App author has his own discord for support. Linked on the description tab on the app page at NexusMods

Might get an answer here as well, but will probably take longer for the right person to come along and answer.

[carmine surge]

Any mod to speed settlement's option to instant?

[solid hawk]

Yes

https://www.nexusmods.com/games/nomanssky/mods?keyword=settlement&sort=updatedAt

[carmine surge]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3230 This work's on exotic?

Like on this

[final hazel]

Yes.

At least if these properties work as you would expect

[cunning chasm]

I'm planning to make this any tips for those who use the base editor program, and no I didn’t draw this ship, I found it off Pinterest when looking for corvette design ideas.

[solid hawk]

May want to try in #nms-corvette-discussion . Much more likely place.

[cunning chasm]

I already asked they told me to come here lol

[spare portal]

i'm new to the base editor program but i think the only problem for this is the door, but tbh i see some people use base parts (not corvette parts) to make their own kind of room, maybe try with it?

Middle part using base parts, but i think this is trickier to do, the corvettes cockpits are fine because they don't really need a door/sealed like the habs of the corvettes so you can just place it normally, only the middle part that is tricky the rest are just easier to do.

above is just an example ig

there might be another way to use the habs so it can have a hole at the back, unless you don't really want back access

[cunning chasm]

I see

[empty trail]

If you own a settlement on one of those planets they're not supposed to be on... I'm guessing other players can't see it (unless they have the mod too)?

[final hazel]

That is correct I believe

That is how structures normally work at least

[untold sluice]

can you change a ships color with a save editor?

[solid hawk]

By changing the seed

[steel crypt]

All DUD'S mods updated for NMS v6.24
Most include various tweaks and enhancements!
https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/jasondude7116/mods?sortBy=name

@round sinew
👆
(FYI still been messing with the headlights stuff lol)

[round sinew]

oh wow, still?! persistency man, you're it. 😄 anyways, thanks for the updates as always. hope you're doing good. get some rest! 🙂

[last pollen]

I'm so glad modding can give us access to legacy building parts back... for now.

i know the Universal Building Standards basic modules are more streamlined and lighter weight for performance but ... man. they just don't hold COLOR the same. When I want to hold onto a thematic color scheme, the Timber, Stone, Alloy, and Salvaged parts barely respond to my color selections. it's all so frustratingly muted unless I glitch colors from the prefabs onto them, and even then, it feels like some of these pieces have comparatively little actual response to color selections.

like, most of their materials aren't recolorable at all!

[solid hawk]

Only color mod for buildables is SACS

[unborn wing]

Yep. Really wishes that Goatfungus worked with Linux. Wanted to do a quick save edit on my windows virtual machine and now it's endlessly doing updates.

[marsh eagle]

We have some web based saveeditors too where you select the savefile on the website: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyUnlimited/comments/1f9ucn5/no_mans_sky_save_editor_tools_list

Like this one https://gecky.app

You just drag and drop your savefile into it

Imo nowadays everything should be a webapp. It's so convenient, no install, cross platform.

[heavy merlin]

It's Java. It should work. Just use the .jar version and not the .exe one

[pseudo knoll]

kinda ignoring that web development sucks lol

[solid hawk]

...and not so handy when internet access not available.

[frigid grove]

All development sucks.

Damn, that gecky.app thing is really fast. Either the lz4 library I got is slow, or they are doing it in a way more optimal way.

[trail brook]

Anyone know if the method for editing a ships color via save editor has changed? I've changed multitool colors with it before but the subsections supposedly associated with ships seem to be devoid of any alterable properties (unlike the multitool subsection)?

I found a reddit guide that elaborates on the process but i'm just uncertain if it's changed or if i'm just missing something obvious https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyMods/comments/dkob5c/manual_ship_and_multitool_color_customization/

the contents of the ship related subsections all just say:

{
"SelectedPreset":"^",
"CustomData":{
"DescriptorGroups":[],
"PaletteID":"^",
"Colours":[],
"TextureOptions":[],
"BoneScales":[],
"Scale":1.0
}
}

the only thing I can think of is just pasting the relevant color-changing code into the relevant blank-by-default section

[cobalt condor]

That would be how you'd do it. The section is blank because by default, ships don't store their colour data they just generate it from the seed every time they load in.

[pseudo knoll]

probably wasm lol

[pseudo knoll]

not really.
development is fun to me; web dev is just misery trying to get your styling just right (and keeping it maintainable), keeping your bundle sizes down (for performance & latency), using javascript (made slightly better if using typescript), dealing with browser inconsistencies if you want to use a weirdly supported API, it's just....agh

oops sorry for off topic

[trail brook]

Alright, thank you

[tranquil vale]

Can someone explain to me when I did the mod folder the screen does not give me the mod warning but the disablemods file is not their

[final hazel]

DISABLEMODS.txt has not been a factor in NMS modding in over a year. Please read the mod installation/troubleshooting guide here http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

You most likely followed an outdated guide that also specified the previous mod folder location, GAMEDATA/PCBANKS/MODS, which is no longer the place that mods go. Mods now go in GAMEDATA/MODS, and are in the form of unzipped folders instead of .pak files.

All mods last updated prior to Jan 29 2025 will not work with the current version of the game, due to following the old format/game structure

[tranquil vale]

Thx

[unborn wing]

Was able to get it. Just has to start it from the terminal rather than just execute the jar file. All good now.

[sweet marsh]

Quick question : Do you guys feel it is fair to unlock the 'legacy structures' tab using a save editor? Obviously only at the same time that i unlock the modern equivalent? (Wood = Timber , Concrete = Stone, Alloy = Metal) I really like the look of the holo-door but i don't want to potentially do something others may consider unfair

[vale iron]

There is no 'fair' in a non-competitive game

Do it if you would like to play that way. As long as you don't screw with other players, you're good

[sweet marsh]

Alright, thanks. In totally unrelated news, just 'unlocked' all the legacy parts. And only at the cost of 3 salvage data! (I figured it made sense to clear what i had)

[spare portal]

seems like i need blender to actually edit corvettes in detailed, using the nms base app are nice for some easy changes, but because of the textures its hard to know where the edges of some parts are, so far i'm just going back to back savegame > quit game > edit in app > copy json > opengame > see if its correct > if not go back to savegame, its a mess.

have anyone ever made something in blender but its broken in nms?, if not guess ill just start learning blender again

[kind cipher]

can i somehow unlock the mechanical legs for the colossus with a save editor?

[wraith basin]

anyone interested doing buildable settlements admin console with manage all settlement button?

[frigid grove]

Haven't checked to see if Goafungus/NomNom have it (though I assume they do). Looks like this has the new stuff:

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1507txf/pc_how_to_unlock_all_expedition_rewards/

[kind cipher]

i used the consumerism mod and it worked fine

nomnom is broken for me tho

[solid hawk]

May not be possible

Also, VERY rare someone will fulfill a request, except by commission

[wraith basin]

thx ,thought there would be more interested ppl in it

[spare portal]

are you refering on the newest update for nom nom?

i fixed mine by downloading the previous version then update via the app

[kind cipher]

alright

[solid hawk]

Thinking about it, that manage all settlements button is quick menu, right?

[wraith basin]

think so,doing it for speciofic settlelemt would be problem but this global one shouldnt

[solid hawk]

If so, wouldn't be doable. Quick menu stuff isn't in the game data files we mod.

Quick menu is 100% in the exe, so we've no means to call those functions

[wraith basin]

yea its not quick menu,thats just to see state of settlements

manage all settlement is menu in settlement admin console

[wraith basin]

any chance to make those hydroponics trays in settlements usable?

[solid hawk]

ok, that would be possible then 🙂

[wraith basin]

nyce,let's hope someone do it 8-)

[solid hawk]

Untested. Quickie, as I have to head back to work shortly, lunch break almost over. Let me know how it goes. It'll be in the buildmenu where furniture is, labelled as SETTERMINAL

[wraith basin]

gonna test right away

works only in settlement,not in base or freighter

also gives option only for that settlement like console should when u firstly select it.

[solid hawk]

Ok, but can place it in all three.

[wraith basin]

yea

[solid hawk]

May not be possible to get the selections without being in a settlement. I'd need to dig in further, which I can't do now. Potentially several hours of research and testing. Modding for NMS is highly restricted. Not like Oblivion or Minecraft, as examples, where you can mod anything you want. This is why 95% of mod ideas are not achievable and also why nobody really does requests. Most turn out to be a waste of time. I'll have to see if the limiter is accessable in the game files or if it's something hardcoded.

[wraith basin]

thx man,just ping me here if any testing is needed

[solid hawk]

I'll give it a bit more time tonight after work.

[solid hawk]

Sorry, going to have to push it back, probably until the weekend. An hour late getting home from work tonight and some other IRL stuff hit.

[wraith basin]

No worries man

[fair narwhal]

In the meantime I just mess with all of the shit that's possible to be messed with

Just numbers

Not hard

Don't even know what half of them mean in the vehicle globals

Like damping

Idfk what that meant but it makes stuff faster and more chaotic when it's value is negative

[hearty wasp]

most of the params just mean what it says in the name

so damping may just mean its dictionary definition

[fair narwhal]

Well seems the lower I made that the more chaotic things get

Which is hilarious

Angular and linear damping negative 2bil

[main adder]

I need a mod what lets me build anywhere on a freighter, or at least the command center

[final hazel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3682

[main adder]

Thanks

No hangar building, but thats fine

[final hazel]

Hangar building would be impossible, as the freighter base is fully unloaded when in the hangar

[main adder]

Oh right
Good to know

[empty trail]

just a few g forces

[oblique turtle]

Please, we need a mod to remove that annoying settlement whistling you keep hearing.

[solid hawk]

I don't hear it. Keep the volume down. 🙂

[oblique turtle]

as specially when you stand in front of the management console.

[solid hawk]

I'll check it out and take under advisement to do it.

[hardy canyon]

I've played NMS for 300 hours and never tried a mod. What kinds of mods are available?

[solid hawk]

These: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/newrecently?page=1

Most, updating since 29 January 2025 are useable. Anything before that date, not.

[hardy canyon]

I thought I heard that Nexus was lost forever? Some ownership change?

I remember uninstalling Vortex

[solid hawk]

Did change ownership, but not lost. Has still functioned the same after.

and is the only source for NMS mods.

[hardy canyon]

Oh there's no Steam Workshop for it?

[solid hawk]

Nope

Kind of what only source means, no other places. 🙂

[hardy canyon]

Yep I'm making conversation

[vale iron]

If it were Steam workshop I wouldn't bother. Steam gets all the benefits and authors get no benefits

[kind cipher]

can i change my location with nomnom?

galaxy, i mean

[vale iron]

Yes, I think the second line of the JSON is the galaxy number (in 0-based indexing)

There might be a UI way to do it, too

[final hazel]

There's also https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1312, which may not be in-tune with purple systems being added but it might also not care if it supports access to phantom stars

[celest skiff]

idk if goatfungus save editor counts as modding, but I think I f'ed up my corvette manoeuvrability and I have no idea what to change to make it go back to normal

I set the manoeuvrability to 1000.0 originally just for fun, but changing it back to 20 did nothing at all

am I js permanently screwed

cus it's also my favourite ship and iont wanna rebuild the entire thing

I'm terrible at offset building and it took me like 2 hours to figure it out

[solid hawk]

Take a look at it in the raw json. What's the value there? BTW, a base maneuverability higher than 60-something is bad.

Makes ships spin like a top.

[final hazel]

Yeah, corvettes don't go past 15 maneuverability bonus % normally I believe

[torpid hearth]

try to uninstall some modules, reload save, and put them back

[pseudo wren]

yeah i would set the manoeuvrability to something low like 5-8 or something to see if that is better. its just all your tech mods enhance it so much you spin like crazy if you boost anywhere. around like 9k mark is ok anything above that is too much

[hearty wasp]

Ok

[cloud mountain]

Do you people know of any mod that will allow me to spawn plants I've scanned where I want them?

Like for example, if I wanna have a tree in my base

[south orbit]

I dont think there is a mod like that

Some flora is ulockable in qs shop and over time HG is adding new ones

[final hazel]

Just use a Wonder Projector

[cloud mountain]

Hmm, maybe a mod to get rid of the holo effect on the projected image... so that the tree looks real?

[solid hawk]

None exists

If you want to research if possible, go for it.

Ultra Base Building allows non-buildable vanilla objects as buildables, including trees

[kind cipher]

i logged onto my save from a while back and all my exosuit slots are supercharged, but if i remove the supercharge and save it doesdnt even save

nomnom

nvm it mightve fixed itself

[dark saddle]

This normal for the Cartographer expedition? @frigid grove

[frigid grove]

They sometimes change those keys, I'll go see if there's a new one for that

Apparently it wants UI_EXPED_BURIED_PROP2_NAME_U and UI_EXPED_BURIED_PROP_DESC_D

Heh, so they added the keys that made more sense in the latest redux, then removed them.

[muted kindle]

Prolly a dumb question. Since there is this Chanel. But no man’s sky completely allows modding? What i mean is. What modding isn’t allowed?

[frigid grove]

Aight it's fixed.

[dark saddle]

From the shenanigans I've already seen some do in here, I'm not sure there isn't anything you aren't allowed to do. It's largely a single player game with multiplayer support, so at the end of the day it's probably more play your way. So far all I've done is abuse the Expedition Generator from cwmonkey here and make my scanner colors clash less though. LOL

[dark saddle]

Should I (and also would it be safe to) apply that while I'm doing the expedition?

[frigid grove]

It's safe yeah. Totally not necessary, though.

[cloud mountain]

that sounds primissing

[dark saddle]

Any base building mods that don't add objects but make it easier to build tricky bases without the need for the wire/small wall tricks I've seen on YouTube?

[final hazel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1096
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3291

[dark saddle]

Nice, scaling sounds a bit extra but more importantly this looks like it works with MP too. 😄 Thanks.

Always worried about any mods that would break playing in MP.

[final hazel]

Yeah, both of those mods work fully with MP

as they solely rely off of pre-existing things

[solid hawk]

Are you asking playing with mods or creating mods?

You can use whatever mods there are. As far as mod creation, just due to how things work, lots of restrictions and brick walls, limiting what can be modded and how.

[fair narwhal]

It allows modding so long as you aren't like , putting absolutely horrible content into your game, or offensive content

But offensive content does not require modding

However don't be a bad person, don't make offensive things , don't make certain windmill shaped ships

[fair narwhal]

Well aren't you considerate? Lmao

Much more considerate then myself

My rules for myself are
1: never make offensive/horrible content
2: never kill anybody
3: never cause players to crash

[dark saddle]

Well, the considerate thought in MP would be that it doesn't break or interfere with others' experience.

That should be the norm & basically what you've listed here.

I see

Well I do fly around thru space really fast without a ship

And I teleport everywhere

[dark saddle]

I just mean when I do go online, it doesn't completely block the feature playing with friends, or make my creations and actions like bases for example: broken, invisible, or not interactable.

[fair narwhal]

Like DBZ style teleport

[dark saddle]

Causing as little desync as possible too, altho that seems to happen without mods anyway.

[fair narwhal]

Like I can be one place then 1000 u away instantly

[dark saddle]

Like when I jump in someone's Corvette and end up in space.

[fair narwhal]

I don't fly in people ship

[dark saddle]

Although thinking on that now, that may be more of an "Anomaly" issue as it only shows for those who summon it.

[dark saddle]

I've seen your vids on here. xD

[fair narwhal]

So I'm not bad

Like not hurting anyone

[dark saddle]

No, just wacky, if I had to attach a descriptor. LOL

[fair narwhal]

Well I like to do that stuff

Haven't met anyone else quite as crazy as me

[dark saddle]

I may try some of that later on, but I started fresh, so my goal at the moment is QOL mods.

Like the base building mod without additions above, not pausing on alt tab, making the blue of the analysis scanner not drown out the other colors on my screen. That kind of stuff.

[fair narwhal]

Oh you've seen my insanely random mods?

This is the type shit I do daily

[dark saddle]

I've seen your videos so far like this, that felt like you hadn't a grip on where your character was going.

Like your own personal Space Odyssey.

[fair narwhal]

No I was in control

I just made it look like teleportation because that looks cool

[dark saddle]

Makes me think of the Shooting Stars memes.

[dark saddle]

Oh, I forgot about one other bit of "modding". I've started doing the expeditions offline to get the full experience/rewards.

Means I can play the game without FOMO.

[fair narwhal]

While I have my mods running on PC, if I join a public instance , the sentinels turn gigantic and friendly for the players too

Harmless ones

But big

Yep giant harmless sentinels

That's my dummy account the Xbox

I Xbox and pc at the same time

[dark saddle]

Those are definitely chunky. I think the biggest creatures I've spotted so far were fat-bottom bugs from one of the expeditions.

[fair narwhal]

While I was in that instance , giant sentinels were visible to my Xbox clone

As well as myself

So it's not purely client side

So long as it doesn't add custom things from outside the game itself I'm sure a few things are visible to other people

[dark saddle]

Awesome. BTW, outside of the reality breaking stuff you do, anything QOL you'd recommend for now? 🙂

[fair narwhal]

Yeah

That depends on your point of view

What would you consider qol?

[dark saddle]

Hrm, I suppose that's a good point.

[fair narwhal]

I am a reality altering entity like the G-man

That is disturbing to some

Most ignore it

These are self-made mods , I'm a modder. Just not one that makes helpful things, rather makes things that are rather bad and glitchy for my own sick humor

Breaking the game is hilarious to me

Even working on making textures break

[dark saddle]

That's a Blursed Galaxyf for sure. xD

Though textures break for me anyway on some things, so I can't completely avoid it.

Like when terrain disappears from under me at someone's base or a Corvette appears to only have the areas you walk around in. LOL

[frank bridge]

How easy would it be to make a new part? It would basically be a horizontal corvette wall

[half osprey]

bro that exocraft has some serious moves is it good at carate?

[fair narwhal]

It's good at crashing my game

[half osprey]

zoooooooooooom

[sly sigil]

quick question if i were to use 3rd party software like blender to build my corvette, is there a part limit i shouldnt cross that would compromise the game?

i might or might not be at around 650

[marsh eagle]

Keep it under 3k parts is my advice. 3k parts is also the sync limit for normal bases in multiplayer so its a reasonable upper limit.

[sly sigil]

ok ty

[balmy veldt]

does no mans sky in the xbox app on pc let mods work ? or i cant

[magic lava]

Sending the same message in different channels in a short time frame trips our spam filter. Space them out a bit more if no one is answering, or the bot will end up muting you automatically.

[magic lava]

You can use mods on Xbox pc, yes

[solid hawk]

Not eay at all

[fair narwhal]

it seems that 72,000 is the maximum possible displayed speed on the exocraft spedometer

72,000 ku/h

even though i know the real speed is much greater then whats displayed

i already move at relativistic speeds

vanilla exocraft usually don't exceed a thousand or so ku/h

[balmy veldt]

do yall know a mod that makes your freighter shoot at ships attacking you when near it?, better freighters is outdated and doesnt work

[summer spire]
