[summer spire]

Should be correct path

[summer spire]

Nvm fixed it

For anybody with same issue
When you download mods from nexus dont put the whole mod folder into the no man sky MODS folder. Open the download mod folder and only copy the folder inside

If that make sense

[torpid apex]

Is there a mod that makes my freighter actually good at defending me?

[ripe sequoia]

what could possibly be the context of this planetary fling

[solid hawk]

Attention seeking

[ripe sequoia]

what?

[solid hawk]

The context

[fair narwhal]

He's not wrong

But in the end it's a fruitless endeavor

[fair narwhal]

What could possibly be the context of how about you shut ur mouth

Are you suggesting I'm only allowed to make and do things for the benefit of others?

Wait who am I even talking to?

[ripe sequoia]

i didnt mean to sound rude..

sorry

[fair narwhal]

Nor did I

[ripe sequoia]

no, i was just asking a question

[fair narwhal]

You asked a question that burned into my very being

Why do this shit?

Is what you asked basically

[ripe sequoia]

i just thought it looked cool

and if i came off rude, truely i say im sorry

[fair narwhal]

No you spoke the reality

I need a reality check

[ripe sequoia]

i think im a lil confused

[vale iron]

Nah, Yutaka takes offense easily, no offense Yutaka 😉

[fair narwhal]

What I'm trying to say is , he asked me something nobody else has yet "what's the purpose of this?"

[vale iron]

It's a valid question. Hell, most of my mods I don't use, but I figure it makes things fun for somebody

[fair narwhal]

It...broke thru to me

[ripe sequoia]

it looks fun

what mod is it

[fair narwhal]

One I made myself

[ripe sequoia]

cool

[fair narwhal]

Just exml files

In folders

[vale iron]

Besides, getting mad at Socrates for asking questions is a millennae old tradition 😄

[ripe sequoia]

i dont need to be reminded about ancient greece

[fair narwhal]

Didn't socrates flip off a guy in that picture

It looks like he's giving them the middle finger

[vale iron]

he's my favorite philosopher

I think it was his index finger, if I am thinking of the right one

[ripe sequoia]

it was my index

[fair narwhal]

The painting

By Leonardo or Michelangelo I forgot which

Not a history buff

[vale iron]

Jacques-Louis David, I just had to look. Anyway, we

[fair narwhal]

There will never be as good of art as the Sistine chapel again

[vale iron]

we're off topic now 🙂

[ripe sequoia]

the death of socrates painting?

[fair narwhal]

I want to know why people think what I did was attention seeking, is it because of the uh.... Well ..the uh... hundred or something similar things I've posted

I mean , kinda obvious like , but damn reality hurts like that

Now I'm sad

[ripe sequoia]

ignore it

ig

[fair narwhal]

I don't feel like playing or doing anything with my mods today... Not after...you know

[fair narwhal]

Well , there has to be a point where I ask myself, why don't I put my strength and time to a useful purpose, and it's been lingering on my mind for a couple weeks now

[ripe sequoia]

without that tradition, where does my power come from

[fair narwhal]

Im posting so many videos trying to relive the glory days , to chase that high I had one time

This is why so few people talk to me, because all it takes is looking at me the wrong way for me to go off like a firecracker or begin to wallow in self pity and depression, why do I feel like this is like the 5th time this happened in this server alone?

[ripe sequoia]

hm, idk, ima have to think on that one

[fair narwhal]

That's me right now except my hand is covering my face

[fair narwhal]

Most of my mods I have never published

I'm not sure how strict the quality control is in nexus mods, and if they'd tolerate an equivalent of shitpost mods

They certainly allowed me to post two of mine

But I made at least 10 since then

And all of them are just files that literally anyone can edit on their own themselves if they decompile the mbin that they extract from their game's files

People modding isn't hard, what's hard is... Having fun

I'm a modder , just not a good one .

I feel like I'll only be good one if I import custom skins and models into the game and I have no clue how to do so yet despite there probably being an easy guide, I'm a slow learner but I'll figure it out eventually

[rich grotto]

You're doing great

[fair narwhal]

Thank you...now I need to go do something but I'll be back

no but i keep seeing it on nexusmods and im thinking to myself. people really have that much trouble organizing their mods?

I uninstalled it the moment I saw that it does shit without my knowledge, and backs things up that I didn't specifically ask to be backed up.

Ur own risk really

I probably am spreading misinformation aren't I ?

[solid hawk]

Considering nobody even mentioned Vortex, seems odd and out of place

[fair narwhal]

you ever make something, only for it to somehow not work at all, and then be upset for about an hour

[solid hawk]

Maybe years ago. NMS modding is rife with so many brick walls and hardcoding, there's no point in getting upset. You try something, doesn't work out, move on.

[fair narwhal]

its the reason i have a pebble in my shoe and im so heated atm

[solid hawk]

Experience with NMS modding doesn't necessarily allow you to be able to mod more, what it mainly does is allow one to identify things which won't work out sooner, reducing time wasted on frivolous ideas.

[fair narwhal]

i tried to do some stuff included in the debugoptions
mxml

lot of it failed

at least some worked

also the mod i wanted to force a planet to have water didnt work

that variable did nothing

[solid hawk]

I believe that I'd informed you before, much of what's in debugoptions is either deprecated or is geolocked to those within the HelloGames offices.

[fair narwhal]

is that why there are terms like logon

and ability to alias their name

[solid hawk]

Lots of the global files have a few deprecated setting here and there, just much more prevalent in debugoptions.

Many of the properties in there are specifically geared towards the developers and only the developers.

[fair narwhal]

its quite sad when something doesnt work and find out you arent elevated privledge enough to make any use of it, and dont have the keys to the kingdom so to speak

keys to the kingdom being , allowed to do stuff the devs can do

i fear id probably abuse it anyway

[solid hawk]

Not at all sad. You didn't have access to X before trying to make a change, you didn't have access to X after trying to make a change. No difference, you haven't lost anything.

[fair narwhal]

and why is there a reference to IOS in a ton of the files

[solid hawk]

No one outside of HelloGames can answer why questions with certainty. Would just be guesses. No point in asking why.

[fair narwhal]

but you do know what im talking about

[solid hawk]

Ostensibly, because HelloGames wants it that way.

[solid hawk]

Nope, can't say I've every noticed, nor cared, since I do not use anything Apple.

[fair narwhal]

why was my xbox dummy account able to see my giant sentinels mod that i have on pc? (my memory is poor , and i think i was told the reason before )

since i use both xbox and pc same time to test mods and see if they work online and are visible to others

[solid hawk]

cross-save?

[fair narwhal]

it wasnt a save edit

it was robotglobals

i edited my robotglobals for sentinels to make them extremely powerful and a lot bigger and more health

idk what cross save has to do with it

this mod makes the sentinels ridiculously strong... it works on multiplayer

changing this value makes the summoner drone make a bunch of other sentinels really fast

im too embarrassed to publish these shitty mods tbh

[coral goblet]

Is there a mod that makes the Nutrient Processor UI less trash? 😄

[solid hawk]

Nope.

[low holly]

are there any mods to give you more space for storing starships?, I'd like to have more than 12 and 18.

[final hazel]

This is impossible to modify, it is hardcoded within the exe

At best, you can store the data for your ships externally

whether it be the base data for a corvette or the ship entry for a different ship etc

[low holly]

ah dang it, ig that's just how it is then

[final hazel]

or even document the coordinates of your ships to then get another one later

[livid sundial]

Is there any mod that makes ur squadron good?
not stats wise but deal more dmg

are there mod that let ship to have collision with exocraft when the ship flying?

[remote galleon]

Is there a way to increase the chance of predators or aggressive fauna on a planet? Other than the ingame settings? It’s already at max 😂

[solid hawk]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3694

[remote galleon]

Yes I found afew on nexus…not sure about all fauna aggressive 😂

Gpredators mod looks like it might cover it. Just not sure I should still run the ingame settings at max

[solid hawk]

Give it a shot, won't hurt anything and you can see what happens with the mod and difficulty setting at different levels, since difficulty settings can be adjusted on the fly, while in-game.

[remote galleon]

Ya I’ll try out tonight. I would assume it would only apply to new planets I discover? Also I’m playing in abandoned mode where fauna are more rare. Hopefully it doesn’t change that

[solid hawk]

May work for existing as well.

[slender depot]

is there a mod that shrinks the oversized info window when I hover over an item in my inventory, or at least makes it delayed? Incredibly annoying when I'm building something with lots of steps:

I think Lo2k has a mod which does something like that

is consumerism borked for anyone else?

[devout osprey]

Want to do the new expedition on a new save since there's no advantage (during the expedition) in using an existing save. Don't think I have a free save slot though. Is there a good mod to manage save slots on PC these days?

Is 15 saves the limit now or is it more now? Maybe I have a free slot if it's more now.

[devout osprey]

Never mind. I'll just backup my saves and delete one.

[final hazel]

Why not do it within an existing save in that case? The whole "start an expedition within a save" system was created for this exact purpose (having too many saves)

It's something that's requested as a mod very frequently but is impossible to implement through modding

[remote galleon]

Man I increased predator frequency and beefed up their damage. It’s like a whole new game 😂

Also removed all fauna and predator hud indicators…. It’s a blast for anyone looking to freshen up the game. I have to actually search for fauna now instead of looking for red dots. And nighttime is no joke. Only two hours in I’ve already had a couple good jump scares.

[quasi dust]

has any one who has modded AI in space combat/or ground considered making a mod that does one specific thing: stops AI ONLY prioritising player instead of other NPCs. seems like "gamey" game design, in a game where your not meant to be the centre of the universe, it sure feels like it when even during freighter battle, little old you become the centre of attention for enemy guns. i would like the AI to target my squadron for example, making them semi useful as distractions

im not sure if there is any value in the files that effects AI prioritisation of targets

to that end,would it be possible in a similar way, to change companion behaviour to attack sentinels?

[solid hawk]

Not really possible to adjust in these ways with NMS.

[true atlas]

theres not any mods let you remove photon cannon from corvettes are there? probably not

There are thousands of mods, which seems more than most games I try to look for mods for'

AC Shadows had like 4 I wanted, while my NMS list is about 90

[simple patio]

There are literally hundreds or thousands since January 28th 2025

615 mods since January 28th 2025

[simple patio]

and how many of those are actually usable

[vale iron]

Almost all

The modding system changed with Worlds Part 2

Which released end of January 2025

EXML mods will survive most updates. Most of the mods use that. Some use MBINs still, and some of those are consistently updated, so they still work

The ones that don't still work are the MBIN mods that haven't been updated

it just said game data/mods unless i missed something

yeah doesnt same where this games files are

no match for GAMEDATA\MODS in c drive or game drive

how do mods that change world generation work, if i get a mod that makes all trees bigger will it affect existing trees or only trees on a brand new planet ?

[true atlas]

shit i forgot i could find it thru steam. i too stupid

[vale iron]

All trees

The game is procedurally generated, which means it takes a value and then creates everything based on your files and that value. Change the files and the resulting appearance changes for everything that uses those

[hearty wasp]

make the MODS folder yourself

game doesn't come with it

so just find GAMEDATA

i actually did have a mods folder somehow. but its working. thanks for the help

not by any chance a mod that centers the internal stairway of corvettes is there? kinda urks my need for symmetry

[grand ridge]

Hi everyone. So is it possible to make an appearance mod for nms? Is there any tutorial on this matter?

[final hazel]

Define "Appearance Mod"

Like add new customization options? Basically not possible, like it is but it's hell and we can't make use of bending meshes like how the vanilla ones do, so it would look bad (and has looked bad before)

This is the only time I've seen someone manage to do it, and it had to work around the limitations described above

[grand ridge]

Wow. Thanks for clearing that up and sorry for me not being clear. Yeah I was thinking of this kind of mods like adding new customisation options to the existing pool.

[solid hawk]

In addition to the limitations Grouch mentioned, we also can't make new or appreciably change existing animations.

So the old mod in the screenshot above, the movement was horribly janky, as the animation coordinates in the existing one used, didn't line up well with the new models.

So yeah, not really possible to do in any way that doesn't both look and act like a steaming pile of.....

[solid hawk]

If so, it'll be on NexusMods.

[solid hawk]

Define improve. Too vague to answer. What you think would be an improvement may be a detriment to others.

[solid hawk]

It's the correct size. 🙂 Have to keep in mind that only a percentage of players can use mods (only Win and Linux. Majority of players are console who can't use them). Of the people who can use mods, less than 1% do.

NMS mods are also highly restricted as to what can be modded\achieved. Don't need 40 mods which do the same thing. lol

[grand ridge]

Hi. Thanks for the info. So when it comes to nms modding there is no need to actually model or texture something in a 3d software I guess. Modding animation for a game is always one of the hardest. Ages ago modded total war animations. Phuh. It was bad. 🙂

[solid hawk]

For models, (mostly involving removing meshes), we have to use Blender with the NMSDK plugin (plugin is for importing and exporting). TEXTURES are DDS files, so to a great extent the best option is Photoshop with either Intel or NVidia plugin. Gimp won't do BC7 compression, which is what most of the DDS use and Paint.net has had issues with making working TEXTURES on occasion.

Stuff like models and animations, HelloGames uses proprietary formats, so most other modelling software out there is of no use with NMS.

[grand ridge]

I see. By "removing meshes" what do you mean by that? Is it possible to "replace" existing ones? For example can one do new custom helmet designs with replacing the existing ones?
The dds plugin for photoshop I know that. 🙂

[solid hawk]

Mesh is a section of a model

Say you want to remove a part of a model.

You can try making a custom helmet in Blender, exporting into NMS formats, then getting the game to attempt using it. Good luck with that. Only helmet mod is https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/853

Thinking about it, helmets may be an ENUM, which would mean set hardcoded list. I don't know without looking. If it is, couldn't add new, could only replace an existing, pointing to the new model and not the vanilla one.

[fresh arch]

not an enum, you can add new ones to the list

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3231

[solid hawk]

There you go

One of the things with NMS modding, lots of different types of mods. Unless you've made a mod to do X, you may not know how to or the details of those file types and how it all works. Like I do some model mods, but haven't ever worked with helmets specifically. Impossible to find someone who does everything, because none of us do. Some even specialize in only one particular field.

[grand ridge]

Oh thanks guys to giving me these directions and links. I'll dive deep into this. 😉

[simple patio]

Im talking about real ecosystems, different animal behaviours, dynamic population numbers and wild breeding and hunting, pack behaviour and so on

basically anything that changes the animals to be more than just roombas

[solid hawk]

None of those would be possible via mods, only HelloGames would have the capabilities to change any of that. NMS modding is changing values for existing properties in static game data files, loaded when the game starts. There's no API, cannot add logic, cannot change things there's no existing properties for, nothing resident during runtime, cannot add new features. Basically, we can change a 1 to a 2, a false to a true, or green to blue kind of things.

Afer 9+ years, if you don't see a mod to do X on NexusMods, it's not because nobody has thought of it before, it's because either not possible to do or would be such a massive time sink to do that just not worth the time\effort (recurring due to game updates breaking mods) due to the highly limited mod user audience for the game.

[simple patio]

i see

such a pity :/

[solid hawk]

NMS modding has always been very limited in scope, just the way it's been since the beginning and not going to change.

[simple patio]

ok then can i ask if you know mods that change the economy of the game ? like right now its so easy to abuse markets, something that changes the loot tables or changes the prices to make more sense ?

[solid hawk]

There are some. Probably the best example would be https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2225

Which is more of an overhaul. Many mods offered in one big package, but you can pick and choose which you wish to use.

Most mods dealing with economy fall into one of two categories. Give more, for those who want things easier, or give less, for those who want more difficulty (grind).

[simple patio]

that does look like the thing i want

[solid hawk]

Reason being, those are what most people ask for. Mod authors want to make mods more people will use. I publish some very niche mods and always a bit disappointing to only get a couple of dozen downloads per update cycle, especially if a bit of time and effort went into development.

[solid hawk]

Xen0nex is good and spends a lot of time with research and testing for his mod.

[simple patio]

i am stuck in update limbo, every few months when a new update drops i redownload the game hope its finally fixed, play for a few days and get disappointed every single time, wait for the next update and repeat

[solid hawk]

Each new content add update also tends to add a bunch of new bugs, initially. Then the next few weeks after a big update, we get hit with a slew of hotfix patches to clear the majority of new bugs.

Would be great to have a bug free initial release of a content add update, but the game code written by humans and we are all fallible. 🙂 Can have content add updates about every 2-3 months with bugs or can have just one a year, tested ad infinitum before release, bug free. Can't have both. Only so many man hours of dev time in a day\week\month.

That's the trade off for more and more frequent new stuff for the game.

There are people who do choose to just freeze their build in-place and turn off the game updating. They are then frozen in place. Won't get new bugs, but also won't get new content\expeditions and also can't use new mods as they come out, built against later builds.

So, with PTSd as the example.....if you stay with NMS 6.24 and hold at that point, when NMS 6.30 comes out, PTSd will be updated to take into account changes HelloGames has made to the game files and leverage new stuff HG will add. On NMS 6.24, you won't be able to use those mod updates, probably would crash your game.

[simple patio]

ngl i would be more than happy to pay like 10-15 bucks for an actually feature complete update with propererly added features and mechanics and well tested

people give praise to free updates... but judging by the state of the game, maybe they shouldnt 🙈

[solid hawk]

Just not HGs business model or way of doing things. I've been with the game since day one and been involved with the mod making community since 2019, so very used to it.

Maybe complacency, but I don't dwell on things I don't like that I have zero ability to change or affect. Life is a bit less frustrating that way, lol.

[simple patio]

i understand

[solid hawk]

We've a little saying in the NMS mod authoring community. When someone asks why something is like it is with the game. As we've no visibility into HelloGames planning, decision making, or development, the only definitive answer to such questions is "Because HG." 🙂

[simple patio]

i think i get now, this is just not the game i want it to be
somewhere i read that NMS is the arcade game of space sims, its like comparing World Of Tanks to Warthunder, or Minecraft to Green hell or Vintage Story
NMS will never have proper survival, combat, npc factions, economy or even diverse planets because thats not the point, and expecting a change will only lead to more disappointment

[solid hawk]

Yeah, its' base design concept is a casual game. Jack of all trades, master of none. Every few updates we (the mod authoring community) get requests to add more flight sim capability, like lateral movement, which we can't do. It just isn't a hard core flight game.

Most players don't just keep playing the game all the time. After the initial fun drops off, they set it aside. When the next new feature add update hits, they'll pick it back up, play through the new expedition, goof around with the new features for 3-4 weeks, then set aside again until the next big update hits.

[solid hawk]

Did you call me stupid?

I don't appreciate that

[fair narwhal]

I am not a wombat , thats some kinda Australian slang or something

Sorry

[solid hawk]

I didn't say that in any way shape or form. Just one word, wombat, as I thought we were now making random, non-requested, contextless posts, not germane to the channel, in violation of server rules 2 and 3.

[fair narwhal]

What the it's just a video of a mod im working on

To make the truck drive on water

I didn't know I needed permission to post that

At least it's in the right channel..this time

[solid hawk]

Might I then suggest that you also post verbiage to explain that, when you post videos like that. Else how is anyone supposed to know. Hence why I said contextless.

Else comes across as spam.

Now everyone knows what it is. 🙂

[fair narwhal]

You mean you didn't know by watching

Oh wait probably didn't

I Don't blame you

[vale iron]

I like cheese

[solid hawk]

I just did it in a way to illustrate the point

[fair narwhal]

I don't know how it violated rule 3 , it wasn't a misleading link, it wasn't unrelated to nms, it wasn't self promoting

[solid hawk]

Lots of people won't play a video without knowing what it's for

[fair narwhal]

If it's in this channel Its obviously for what the title of the channel is

But I guess you think I'm a shit poster

[solid hawk]

Could be seen as attention seeking. Wasn't what you were aiming for, I know, but again context helps to avoid misunderstanding.

[fair narwhal]

I don't give a shit about attention or not

Whatever I'm done with this

[solid hawk]

The category in which the channel exists is

It's ostensibly for modding support, whether use of, finding, or creating. Again, now that it's been explained what the video is of, all is well.

[fair narwhal]

Just assume every video I post is that

And we're all set

What should I put text in the beginning

[solid hawk]

Except there's lots of people who come here who have no history of viewing the channel. Wasn't that long ago you were new here as well. Sure. You can put text in the same post as an attachment.

[fair narwhal]

Is it a quality control thing

Wait is this channel for talking about , troubleshooting, and help modding?

Oh crap;

Man I'm an idiot

[solid hawk]

It's a so everyone can understand what's being posted thing, which will also get you more views of your videos.

[fair narwhal]

Wow that ambiguous

[solid hawk]

Nah. We can all fall into the trap of assuming others inherently understand what's going on in our heads

[fair narwhal]

I'm impressed I got the truck to drive on water somewhat correctly

Totally by mistake

[solid hawk]

Very cool

[fair narwhal]

Or rather they made it way to easy for people to mess with the game files

I had no clue what damping was but I knew that the lower it goes the faster and more chaotic things are

Negative value damping and friction makes it go insane

[solid hawk]

They being HelloGames....not really, was more eMoose and Monkeyman192. Credit where due.

[fair narwhal]

Negative torque also

[solid hawk]

Original and current author of MBINCompiler. Without that, we'd still only be able to mod NMS via hex editing.

[fair narwhal]

Oh so I ride on the backs of giants

Metaphorically

[solid hawk]

We all do.

Without MBINCompiler, there'd be all of 6 mods for NMS. haha

[fair narwhal]

Also just letting you know I make bad/weird mods on purpose

Because it's entertaining to some people, I have a couple people that like what I do

[solid hawk]

I know you do, good for laughs, as you've said.

I'd just say weird, much more than bad.

[fair narwhal]

Perhaps somewhat uncanny

[solid hawk]

That's the best way of putting it.

[fair narwhal]

It's like a two headed cow

[solid hawk]

I'd go with that in future, rather than using bad.

[fair narwhal]

Or a cow with wheels on it

[solid hawk]

"The wheels on the cow go round round round"

[fair narwhal]

I want my game to be as close to a fever dream/hallucination as I can

Textures/sounds are next in line for me to corrupt

[solid hawk]

For Textures, you got Photoshop?

[fair narwhal]

Yes

[solid hawk]

Good

[fair narwhal]

But I also want the game to have the textures be like noise

[solid hawk]

Either intel or NVidia DDS plug in will do

[fair narwhal]

Visual noise/static, color changing ground/sky

But not seizure inducing

[solid hawk]

For sounds, to be blunt, you REALLY do not want to go down that road. The sounds system is very arcane and highly frustrating and time consuming to deal with.

[fair narwhal]

I'm afraid that some things I do have potential to cause problems with some people's conditions

[solid hawk]

Not like a gun is held to anyones head to use a mod.

[fair narwhal]

No but a video , they might not be prepared for

I would not do that on purpose

One person told me that one time I nearly caused them problems visually

Epilepsy

With how fast I move and how much I move my camera

And I play this game like I'm a 5 year old with hyperactive disorder

[solid hawk]

Most game sounds are held within BNK archives, labelled as only numbers and multiple files can be used to make one single multi-second sound in-game. There is a partial somewhat index, but highly incomlete. So, in searching for a specific sound to make changes to, you may have listen to hundreds to find what you're looking for.

[fair narwhal]

But I can't make the pitch be random

There are variables for how frequently the animals make sounds

I made my sand worms spam their sound, and other players hear it

[solid hawk]

Also dealing with the BNK to WEM conversion isn't great either.

[fair narwhal]

Tested it with my Xbox account

All the behaviors my sand worms do , another player will see and hear

Other animals have glitchy behavior as well that my Xbox dummy account was also able to see

The point of that ? Bored/because nobody said I couldn't/shouldn't

Cross platform playing with two controller PC and Xbox at same time

[solid hawk]

As an example of what I was mentioning with sounds, related to what you were just talking about, here's all the files which comprise the sandworm bellow, as it leaps out of the ground

[fair narwhal]

The roars they make

[solid hawk]

10 files to make one 3-4 second sound.

[fair narwhal]

I want to make a mod that my character can do so

Like a Skyrim shout or something

Like , one of my emotes triggering the sounds

I want to scare/annoy people with it

For shits and giggles

[solid hawk]

I made one sound mod to silence that roar and will NEVER touch sounds again. Just too frustrating and time consuming to do.

[fair narwhal]

But I wanna make a mod that I can trigger the sound manually without a sand worm present

Like my guns making the sound

[solid hawk]

Go for it.

[fair narwhal]

Sound effects for different shit can be swapped right?

Surely there's a mbin file that controls what sounds are assigned to what

I'm not trying to modify the sounds themselves

[solid hawk]

Sometimes yes, sometimes no, very much depends how the call for the sound is implemented in the game. HG uses several different methods. The sandworm roar remover is really just a swap. I replace the vanilla files with blank\no sound WEMs

[fair narwhal]

There's not a file that tells the game what things play what sound?

[solid hawk]

Nope, there's no master files for sounds saying for x action by y object, play z sound

[fair narwhal]

Awww

That would be so cool tho

And you know I'd abuse that

Imagine somebody comes into the anomaly and starts making the sand worm sound

And it be not just client side

[solid hawk]

Sounds call are all over the place. Frequently can be found in ENTITY files for specific objects, as part of the MODELS, BUT there are also a lot of calls which are hardcoded. For those NEED to edit the sound files themselves.

[fair narwhal]

Am I confusing you?

[solid hawk]

Nope

[fair narwhal]

Ah so you know what I meant by making myself able to manually trigger sounds

[solid hawk]

Yes

[fair narwhal]

Source engine games

Allow this

And those are just txt files

[solid hawk]

As I recall, there isn't a call for the sandworm roar in the game data files, hardcoded, hance why I had to edit WEM files to remove the sound.

[fair narwhal]

I'm guessing they did that to prevent someone as evil as myself from ... Altering that

The hardcode aspects of this game

[solid hawk]

Would have been MUCH easier and taken 2 minutes instead of 6 hours to make if I could have just removed the call in a sandworm ENTITY file. 🙂

[fair narwhal]

Theres a lot I would do to my game that I can't do. If I had access to what hello games has access to , the game would be upside down

Corrupt

[solid hawk]

In terms of sound, probably not so sinister. More likely the original dev who was assigned to make the sound system for NMS used a method he\she already knew and was comfortable with. There's other games which use a BNK\WEM based system.

[fair narwhal]

No they are right in preventing modification of those particular things , trust me I messed up team fortress 2, another game I previously modded to hell, made it have corrupt sound effects that were not just client side

[solid hawk]

AND HelloGames does not take ease of modding into any game design decisions. They do what they do with the game in the best\most efficient way for HelloGames.

If they took mod authoring into consideration would increase both dev time and costs, so they're not going to do that.

[fair narwhal]

But they are alright with people modding the game it would seem

There's no way they are not aware of it

Not talking about myself

I know I'm a nobody

[solid hawk]

Yes, they made it so. HelloGames allows mods to work on PC and Linux versions of the game, BUT it is officially unsupported.

[solid hawk]

I'm a member of that club.

[fair narwhal]

But people respect you

Because usually you are in turn respectful

And you are also not insane

[solid hawk]

If you contact HG and even mention the word mod, you get back a form response saying to remove all mods and highly doubtful a human being will ever see that support request.

[fair narwhal]

Then why am I not yeeted no matter how much reality distortion I attempt cause

[solid hawk]

Not yet anyway. Probably another 10 years before dementia creeps into the picture. lol

[fair narwhal]

Because the shit I make is not strictly clientside

[solid hawk]

We can mod all we want, HG will not deal with it though. The sole exception being if a mod allows harming other players in game. Been awhile, but HG has banned people before for that.

[fair narwhal]

Therefore, in the expedition, anyone nearby saw giant sentinels

I don't harm players

I'm totally against any form of killing or pvp

I advocate for it's removal from the game

[solid hawk]

Only been a couple of mods which could be exploited and used to harm others, neither ever published, only seen by a few in the modding community.

[fair narwhal]

We should not fight

Oh you mean crashers don't you

Shit that will crash anybody in an instance

[solid hawk]

Sorry, I can't give any details without giving enough information to possibly replicate

[fair narwhal]

No no id never

Id never do that intentionally

I have absolutely no ill intentions

Other then being really jarring perhaps

Like I have made it so that people see my player model teleporting everywhere even while not moving

[solid hawk]

I personally don't do PvP, or really any form of MP, with NMS. Some people do enjoy PvP though. Just not my thing. There is a toggle for it.

[fair narwhal]

The animation bugs you would have seen if you watched some of the things I posted , are not strictly clientside

I Did that on purpose

Because hardly anyone interacts with anyone at all

Not like that would change

One thing I haven't asked myself , "why?"

Well the base game got boring to me , and I wanted to do something more in line with the game being a visual experience of craziness

The engine for nms has limitless potential

And yet is so restricted

[solid hawk]

Good convo, but unfortunately time for me to go to bed. Up much later than I expected to be. I can stay up as long as I wish, BUT with small kids, when I have to be up in the morning does not get any later, haha. Have a good night\day.

[fair narwhal]

Thanks

[vale iron]

damping is reducing

So high damping does a lot of reducing

[fair narwhal]

how rare is it for two planets (not a moon), to be like, right next to each other

[south orbit]

I dont think we know amount of spawn points for planet in system so its hard to tell

[true atlas]

are mods capable of making say, a scientific specialty system spawn more scientific vessels ? would make sense. im hesitant to just dive in and look at all the mods or ill have 500 in no time. hoping mabey somebody knows one specific already so i dont bog down my game

[fresh arch]

no and most likely can't be done

[true atlas]

ok thanks

[fresh arch]

since the starship archetype weightings are linked to the races, not to system economy types or tiers

[true atlas]

hmm tell me more? linked to races you say?

[fresh arch]

each race has different preferences so to speak

Gek systems spawn more haulers, Vykeen - fighters, Korvax - explorers

[true atlas]

i knew they did on like fighterss but didnt know it effected frigates. or is that not what you meant?

[fresh arch]

it doesnt affect frigates

[true atlas]

oh ok thankns

[marsh eagle]

It's pretty common like 1 in 10k systems or something like that. I'Ve once datamined a list with a few hundred collision planets for someone.

Whats actually super rare are dual biome planets how I call them. These are two collided planets with the exact same size that are melted together with only a minimal distance under 1000u. That way they look like one single planet with smooth transition and two biomes.

I have two of these planets found to use them as private home planets

[true atlas]

if i go looking at mods what date should i make sure they were updated t omake sure they most likely to work?

[rapid sandal]

If the mod is a zip with some exml files then it has a good chance of being ok. If it's a pak file then it won't work. If it's a zip with some mbin's then you should do a diff between the mod mbin's and the corresponding game mbin to make sure the schema didn't change, if it didn't then likely ok.
For ship spawning look at GCSOLARGENERATIONGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN SpaceshipWeightings, it's a list where the index is tied to the AlienRaceEnum e.g. SpaceshipWeightings[0] is for Traders. Can also try looking at METADATA/SIMULATION/SPACE/AISPACESHIPMANAGER.MBIN.

[final hazel]

Generally, after Jan 29 2025

[true atlas]

k thx

anything highly recommended?

i heard there were very many

[final hazel]

The ones I personally use/recommend are here https://www.nexusmods.com/games/nomanssky/collections/ixxnzr but it's all personal preference https://www.nexusmods.com/games/nomanssky/mods?sort=updatedAt

[true atlas]

ok thanks. hoping to find one that will center the interior stairwell in the corvette. wanna use it but it being off to the side makes me crazy. well more crazy

[final hazel]

Ah, I don't think there's one like that yet but it's definitely possible

[true atlas]

Ive never been able to teach myself mod making on any game unfortunately. taken a swing once or twice but realized i was kidding myself. suspected it would be possible. it would be complicated? i can pay people to make a mod?

[fresh arch]

no need to pay anyone for a mod

Modding NMS mostly boils down to tinkering with text-based files which host various parameters / values for the game

http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550 - see this article to get started

unpack and decompile game files, then start browsing them, see what parameters are there and try modifying some

[true atlas]

u overestimate me friend. my typing and attention to detail is horrendous. its really quite beyond me personally.

and really thats the only thing ive noticed that urks me enough i would try. dont know how you would use text to center a stairwell anyway that sounds crazy. im confused

[fresh arch]

you wouldn't, that would involve changing the actual geometry files for models

but 1) that's not something you start with in modding

hence the recomendation to just get to game files and seeing whats inside

2. HG changed geometry files recently and the tools modders used to work with those haven't been fully updated yet

exporting a custom / modified model may produce some issues in game

[true atlas]

i appreciate it.

[solid hawk]

For NMS there are no best or must have mods. Mods are HIGHLY subjective. Depends 100% on how you want to play and what you do in-game. A mod I may like, you'd hate and vice versa. The smart recommendation is you choose the mods that interest you, based on your game play. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/newrecently?page=1

[true atlas]

right. but it s a good place to start to not have to go thru all 2500 mods personaly

[solid hawk]

Taking anothers mod list, verbatim, you will probably wind up with some mods that aren't going to be what you like\want.

Well, there aren't 2500. Only mods from 29 January 2025 would be possibly functional.

[true atlas]

most in grouches list are pretty great. a few i wouldnt need but i imagine i could delete them from mod folder after geting collection

[solid hawk]

Kind of why collections are a major fail with NMS. There's only 2 or 3, out of dozens uploads that are fully up to date, not containing mods which are outdated and non-functional. On the bright side, Grouches list is one of those 2 or 3. 🙂

Unlike some games where a mod, once made, is good forever, with NMS game updates kill mods. Not as much as it used to do, but still an issue.

So collections and individual mod choices need to be maintained and re-curated for major updates every couple of months.

[true atlas]

right i gotcha. ol grouchy here updated this yesterdy so i trust. but thanks

[final hazel]

If anything does weird stuff, harass me please

[solid hawk]

Definately do look through the link I gave though. Tons of great and popular mods not in Grouchs collection, and, of course, some crappy ones too. lol

[true atlas]

yep just fighting vortex and a bad internet connection

[solid hawk]

The struggle is real

[hasty cypress]

hi i just got no mans sky on my pc for the first time what mods should i get as im not sure what to

[fresh arch]

#nms-modding message

but still, no point in going for mods if you're not familiar with vanilla gameplay

play the game as it is to learn its mechanics, to get hang of it, then see what could be improved based on your preference

[hasty cypress]

ive played the game fully a while back just moved to pc

[true atlas]

can yalltell me howto get vortex to download the optional mods in grouches list?

[solid hawk]

Sorry, I don't use Vortex

[true atlas]

nvm i figured out thx

[opaque igloo]

would someone please explain how to set up amumss, the pre-existing instructions aren't very idiot friendly and i have borked it up twice now

[carmine surge]

Any mod for more prefab building's spawn?

This can lowkey help with finding collosal archives

[final hazel]

You can use this mod to directly ping a colossal archive

[opaque igloo]

3 times

[true atlas]

one of the mods ive downloaded does away with the reticle on ships and multi tools . trying to nail down which one. might there be any guidance yallz could offer me on best way to hunt it down?

[carmine surge]

Mod doesn't work

I have other mod's

[final hazel]

Yes, it does.

You installed it incorrectly

See http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550 for mod installation/troubleshooting guidance

If the mod continues to not work, post a screenshot of your MODS folder in this channel

[final hazel]

Can you show the insides of the Firmware Update for the Signal Booster folder?

[final hazel]

That should be fully working, so I'm not sure what is wrong. What happens when you interact with a Signal Booster?

[carmine surge]

1 dialog option

Like always

[final hazel]

Then I am not sure. Did you download the latest version of it?

[carmine surge]

6.22

[final hazel]

And you have rebooted the game after installing it?

[carmine surge]

Nevermind

Exit game to desktop help

Not only to menu

[solid hawk]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2626

[final hazel]

Yes, exiting to main menu never, ever reloads mods

it also never repopulates GCMODSETTINGS.MXML

[carmine surge]

Lowkey weird

[final hazel]

both require a full game boot

[opaque igloo]

dw i gave up after 3 tries

[carmine surge]

I figure this before

I don't know about menu thing xD

[solid hawk]

ok, your call

[true atlas]

@final hazel do you have a reticle on your multitools or ships? would help to rule out your recomended mods if you still have a reticle on your stuff

[final hazel]

No, none of the mods in my collection modify multi-tool or starship reticles

[true atlas]

ok cool thatl help alot thanks

[carmine surge]

Btw I forget to say. Thanks

[true atlas]

well damn this is broke. my dumb ass shouldve tested this imediatly when reticles werent working so dumb sometimes
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3885?tab=description

[solid hawk]

Which version were you using, Type 1, 2, or 3?

[true atlas]

1. didt try the others

[solid hawk]

I actually updated Type1 for another guy a few days ago. Give me a minute.....

[true atlas]

oh. wierd i just downloaded it today

[solid hawk]

Try this, should be fine, other person said worked fine. 🙂 I contacted the original mod author to see if he wants me to take over the mod or not, but I can't do so without his permission, per NexusMods rules.

[true atlas]

ok cool thx

yay works thanks much

[solid hawk]

NP, let me know how it goes. 🙂

[oblique turtle]

Would love to have a mod, where when you land, your corvette's exit stays shut. We have this nice big red button to exit easily without it having to open. Or when you tp to another location and your corvette follows, the exit just ends up open again. I dont find that convenient at all. Had some random player entering my corvette, only noticed mid flight, had to stop and let him out. lol. Can someone please make a mod that when the ship jumps to your location, or when landing, the exit stays shut, unless you pull the lever on the inside, or click the corner of the exit ramp on the outside to open. Pretty please with cherry on top. 🙏

[solid hawk]

Just to set realistic expectation, it is EXTREMELY rare any mod author will do requests. Even with a pretty please. Most of the authors here have substantial catalogs of mods they publish and mod ideas of their own that need to be worked on.

That and may or may not be possible to do. Might be a hardcoded thing. Not saying it is or isn't as that would require substantive time to look into and research.

[solid hawk]

What is this?

[final hazel]

They sent the same thing to #nms-questions without context or elaboration. That which is indiscernable from spam/self promo...

[solar smelt]

Wouldn’t help the random player problem at all, you don’t need to be inside the corvette to interact with the open hatch button through the walls

[solid hawk]

Exactly. I reported

[oblique turtle]

👍

[carmine surge]

Some mods for cord's/compass?

[final hazel]

Can you elaborate?

[carmine surge]

I wanna find rare mob's on in example "North" side of planet. How to know where to go?

Or maybe some tool's what can help me

[final hazel]

Follow the north compass marker (which is missing due to a bug, so just go the opposite of the south one)

The latitude/longitude appear on the starship first person screen when in-atmosphere, this does not require mods

mods would not improve this

Just make the first number more than 0 I believe

[carmine surge]

You mean in a scaner?

[final hazel]

It's on the compass when in any mode

including flying your ship, on foot, etc

as long as you have the Analysis Visor installed on your multi-tool

[carmine surge]

I lowkey don't see it

[final hazel]

Show a screenshot of what you see

It's always present when in-atmosphere, and you have the Analysis Visor installed

[final hazel]

Get out of the visor view

(Release the F key)

[heavy merlin]

Isn't that N at the top the north?

[carmine surge]

Ah i see

[final hazel]

See the compass at the top of your screen

[carmine surge]

Yep

[final hazel]

again, N is missing in the vanilla game rn due to a bug I believe

[carmine surge]

Thank's

[heavy merlin]

N is there in both screenshots...?

[final hazel]

Oh, then dk, may be conditional

may just be missing from ships, idk

Basically, follow it and pulse in/out of atmo

[carmine surge]

Btw how I be knowing to be already on North?

Specific cord's?

[final hazel]

When your latitude is greater than 0

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_coordinate_system

but it may be better to increase it further

[solid hawk]

Can also look at the world in Discovery, will point to where you are at on the planet

[vernal glen]

Fellas how does one save edit

Trying to get this staff

[final hazel]

Just download a save editor #nms-modding message and use it to unlock the account data entry for it

or use consumerism https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2062 if you don't want to use a save editor

(+ https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3420 if you want it to be free)

[solid hawk]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3247

For just the one thing, much easier than the other two routes mentioned.

[upbeat pond]

anyone got the share files for any of aresemers corvette builds??

[solid hawk]

Don't know what an aresemers is, but good place for corvettes is the Creative and Sharing Hub Discord.

BTW, posting the same thing to multiple channels is considered spam, may want to delete two of the three before gets reported and Moderators take action. Just saying.

[simple patio]

ok mods might actually make this game good

why isnt modding more widespread for this game, seems like such an obvious thing

[stuck portal]

Most likely due to limitations on what the mods can do

[final hazel]

they can't do a lot, and constant updates break some of them constantly and others randomly and unpredictably

[quasi dust]

guys which file is directly associated with space station mission rewards?

is it simulation/missions/tables/missiontable.exml?

[fresh arch]

files in this directory are just lists of missions that game can roll for given mission source / agent

rewards should be still hosted in METADATA\REALITY\TABLES\REWARDTABLE.MBIN

ex. missions from outlaw mission agents have their rewards declared in R_PIRATEBOARD_A object

[robust lily]

if they have a big update in the future that makes modding better, that would be insane, but it would be hard i think, cause if you have say a mod that adds a new building type, and you have it, if the other person does not have it, can they not visit you? is it invisible? thats the real big limitations,

[fresh arch]

we already had an update that made making and using mods more streamlined

as long as LNF uses the same engine or some variation of it as NMS does, they will not open the game for modding

[green saffron]

There's only so far they can push the engine in terms of mods, I don't think NMS was made with mods first unlike say Bethesda Games

[quasi dust]

is there a fix for haulers around?

[late frost]

what needs fixing?

playing old expeditions is a sort of mod?

i mean - i did move a file, so i guess that makes sense

[fresh arch]

personally I consider it being its own kind of thing

different aspects of tinkering with the game require working with different files, tools, require different skill

yes, you are modifying the vanilla game, but in a different manner than what mods or save editors do

[late frost]

oh that part is working well, i am nearing end of stage 2 in omega- but the echo locate is not finding camps, it could just be acting finicky

[round sinew]

remember that you need an inhabited dissonant system, where there's at least 1 dissonant planet that doesnt have gold or rusted metal on the list

this isn't exp specific

[late frost]

no? idk i did mod to get here tho, it makes sense. All the regular reqirements are met, like there is a dominent race there is dissidence on the planet. and in the system they usually work from space when in the correct system?

[round sinew]

have you confirmed if the dissonant planet(s) in that system have rusted metal or gold on the resource list?

because if they do, that system wont spawn harmonic camps - which means echo locator will always error out with "no harmonies detected"

[late frost]

i didn't look for any metals specifically

[round sinew]

but i'm telling you to

[late frost]

yeah i will do

[round sinew]

because not all inhabited dissonant systems will be able to spawn harmonic camps

[late frost]

its an interesting aspect i hadn't seen before

[round sinew]

so gotta confirm 2 things - if system is dissonant and inhabited, and if dissonant planet(s) in system dont have any of the mentioned resources yeah

and fwiw, this question would have been fine to ask in #nms-questions , since it's not expedition specific (we can use echo locators in non expedition mode, it's not exp unique)

[late frost]

so, there is two metals that cancel the locator. now its clearer

lol

fragmenting me further. ?

so many channels head spins

[late frost]

my thinking was the exped was clocking when I used it. is why i was thinking that

[round sinew]

yeah, no worries. you were looking for help and ended up getting it 🙂

[late frost]

yup- you are a wealth of info, but you must bounce from channel to channel a lot

server treasure to be honest.

btw what is your native tongue? mind my asking?

[round sinew]

portuguese 🙂

[quick isle]

Hey everyone, I have a problem. Basically, I started a new game on PC and, just because I was too lazy to start all over again, I used a save editor. I saw that you can get exclusive ships and expedition ships with this editor, but I can't synthesize them at Quicksilver Station the circle fill up like i collect it but it does nothings

[round sinew]

check this post <#nms-modding message>. i'd strongly recommend using consumerism mod to unlock stuff instead of using the save editor, much cleaner. and for starborn phoenix just import the sh0 file that's pinned here <#nms-modding message>

[fresh arch]

Starborn Phoenix and twitch rewards are account based, means game checks with servers whether you have them unlocked properly

So either go fully offline to edit the account data and launch the game to redeem, then go online

Or use other methods like importing ship file or using dedicated unlocker mods

Consumerism won't work I think because Winder just adds expedition rewards, this aint it

[quick isle]

So i unselect them save the change then go offline reselect them and collect it

[fresh arch]

i dont know what "unselecting" would do

either ask someone with actual save editing experience

or use the other methods I mentioned

[quick isle]

Ok i will look that when i go home

[round sinew]

yeah sorry, was mentioning consumerism for all the other exp rewards 🙂

[fresh arch]

aparently I was wrong and it does include the Phoenix: https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/1634/images/2062/2062-1733955067-1982799068.jpeg

[quick isle]

So what consumerism is it a mod ?

[round sinew]

oh! nice! i didn't know either! 😄

[round sinew]

yeah. it's linked to in that first link i shared earlier

[quick isle]

Ok tanks i can get it via vortex so, bc its a nexus mods ?

[round sinew]

i dont use a mod manager, but i think so yeah

[quick isle]

Ok thx for the help i will try all of that

[green saffron]

Is it within Realm of possibility to modify item textures? Like if I was to replace the texture of 1 poster with my own design

[solid hawk]

Yes

[green saffron]

Awesome! Can you point me in the direction of the relevant files for the modification of poster textures?

[solid hawk]

After extracting the game files from .pak, using HGPAKTool, will be in the TEXTURES folder.

Make certain you use the same compression method used in the vanilla file. If BC7, user BC7, if BC3, use BC3, etc.

[fresh arch]

Take a look how this mod does it

This might be a bit overkill since it adds new builadable items

[solid hawk]

Not exactly how that mod does it though, as it's old and mods are no longer .paks. 🙂

[fresh arch]

But maybe it will offer some directions to where textures are

Hmmm? Says it's updated for Voyagers?

[green saffron]

Thank you both! Wanted to see if it was possible, everything posted here has helped massively

-# Mainly to add Umamusume posters I'm gonna slap in my Corvette

[solid hawk]

But then will also need PSArcTool

To unpak the old mod. New .pak, as used by current game versions, to unpak the game files use HGPAKTool. Old mod .pak need PSARCTool. Both same extension, but HG changed things for the format.

Hence an older and newer tool, to do the same thing.

[green saffron]

These tools strictly windows executables or are there Linux applications for them

Not that I'm particularly fussed because I have Wine

[solid hawk]

PSARCTool, no clue. HGPAKTool python based, so shouldn't matter, as long as you have python runtime.

[green saffron]

Oh yea I got Python runtime that's fine

[solid hawk]

I haven't used Linux since 2013, so I pay no attention to such, sorry.

[green saffron]

Nah its fine dw. I only recently switched to Mint so I'm reorienting myself

I'll take a look at PSARCTool first

[solid hawk]

I will say, some NMS modding tools aren't very Linux friendly. Chief among them being AMUMSS. Being windows command line based, won't work with any compatibility layer tools, like Wine or Proton either.

[green saffron]

Texture modding is all I worry about rn

We'll see how this goes

So PSARCTool, HGPAK, Photoshop and DSS...Does the DSS care about what hardware I'm using given I don't have any Intel or NVIDIA hardware

Bit of a silly question Ik but I've never touched DSS in my life

[fresh arch]

DDS is a file format, doesn't have anything to do with hardware

[green saffron]

Right

[fresh arch]

You need software that can read and save it

[green saffron]

Yea the plugins

[fresh arch]

Hence mention of Photoshop or you can try Photopea online

[green saffron]

Was what I was referring to

[fresh arch]

Worked for me in the past

[solid hawk]

Sometime in the past year, with changes HG made with their DDS, Photopea and Paint.net started to become very hit and miss.

Photoshop always works.

[green saffron]

I was thinking of using GIMP in all honesty

[solid hawk]

Then probably won't work at all

[green saffron]

It's what I'm used to when working with Warthunder textures

Yeesh

[solid hawk]

GIMP don't do BC7

[green saffron]

That's annoying

[solid hawk]

It'll read BC7, but can't write\save in BC7

So, for full compatibility with all the DDS, only good option is the expensive one

I think the issue with paint.net and photopea are the mips, which HG makes heavy use of.

Overall, not much simple and straightforward with NMS modding, always some brick wall to run into. lol

[green saffron]

Very familiar with that lol

Anyways made a note of all of the things brought up, will pool over it all tonight

Thank you again

[gaunt temple]

Anyone know if the nms save editor can make stuff go beyond the max limit set by the game?

Like, someone said they had 30k hyperdrive range on their freighter

[solid hawk]

Some stuff yes, some stuff no

[empty trail]

Is there any way to make tech upgrades with custom stats using a save editor (or anything for that matter)

[fresh arch]

save editor will let you only have upgrades with stats and ranges defined by vanilla game

if you want custom upgrades, you need a mod

but even then you won't be able to set the stat values freely

game doesn't save all the different values like +damage +fire_rate, only a seed value to generate those

[gaunt temple]

They guy told me he edited the .json file

[fresh arch]

then ask them for more details I guess

[hazy olive]

Any way to export the corvette to an STL or some other file that I can have 3D printed?

[south orbit]

Import model to blender and then convert it to 3d print file maybe? Idk

[carmine surge]

I made micro-model. There are any option's to copy/paste some of my prop's?

[final hazel]

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

[carmine surge]

Thanks

[upbeat pond]

yo anyone got any share files for corvettes any cool ones???

[solid hawk]

Yes, at the Creative and Sharing Discord.

[upbeat pond]

inv me

[solid hawk]

DM sent with link

[upbeat pond]

ok

[sudden marlin]

You definitely can, but it's best to edit raw JSON.

[boreal whale]

whats up chat, I'm getting bored at late-game, I can standstill and tank every boss or sentinel and enemy in vanilla; I'm seeing alot of "fixes" but all they do is make you get less money or add a zero or two to astroid or flora damage, is there anything more substantial that makes the game really harder? or any other must-have mods?

[carmine surge]

I make city rn. There is any option via mod/save_editor/others to place any of special station's? Like starship upgrade station? Anomaly shopkeeper's in any form? Autophage station? Some time ago I see some of special prefab's in corvette

And if it is. What option's we have? Maybe some of settlement's building's?

[fresh arch]

if you're looking for increased difficulty, see the PTSD mod

[carmine surge]

For now I found mission radar from corvette

[fresh arch]

apart from that, no must-have mods, all modding is highly subjective

go to Nexus Mods, browse through recently updated or newly released mods

[lament bolt]

what do i need to save edit in no mans sky...im trying to recover a staff multitool i lost

[fresh arch]

dont pick mods from before January 2025 as those will not work at all

[fresh arch]

you pick between one of two available save editors, Goatfungus or NomNom

you install them and then you edit the save data accordingly

[boreal whale]

I did take a small look at it but it looks like it just increases prices and makes the game more grindy rather than difficult, is that accurate?

[fresh arch]

I dont know, I don't use it

but it's the most comprehensive difficulty overhaul mod

you can check Nexus for other mods but I dont think you will find any other package like that

check out Gumsk or Babscoole's mod pages, they have plethora of smaller individual mods, pick from those what strikes your fancy

[boreal whale]

Yeah I got a bunch of smaller mods, quicksilver and additional quests, more underground spawns etc
But compared to other games, and how large and popular the game is, the modding scene here seems alittle lackluster

[fresh arch]

the game isn't large or popular by any means

and modding is fairly limited and for the longest time mods became outdated with nearly every patch rolled by HG

[boreal whale]

Really? I was comparing it to something like barotrauma, I guess I was misinformed

[fresh arch]

no idea what that is

[solid hawk]

Yep, as said, we are highly limited as to what can be modded and how.

[fresh arch]

so unless someone was willing to stick with the game and update their mods dozens of times per year, they quickly dropped out

[solid hawk]

For the most part, there's a small contingent of long term NMS mod authors who make the majority of mods available.

[fresh arch]

it's been only over a year since the modding system was reworked to allow for more streamlined creation and management of mods

[boreal whale]

Yeah I guess that's fair, I guess I'll visit back occasionally to get an update on things, not much to do other than cosmetic collecting right now

[solid hawk]

Then a revolving door of onsie-twosie folks. Usually rehash somebody elses mod, stick with it for a couple of months, then abandon and move on to a different game. Quickly replaced by the next set who do the same.

[quasi dust]

is there a mod that fixes the bug of corvettes not being attacked by pirates? im also curious what exactly has caused the issue or if its deliberate from HG's

[solid hawk]

Nope. There's no way to know the root cause as most likely something in a function in the exe which we've zero visibility into, if a bug. We'd also have no idea if it was a deliberate design decision on the part of HelloGames.

Most NMS bugs are exe based and not wrong values in the game data files. Usually any game data file based issues are resolved in the first two or three hotfix releases after a major release. Example, NMS 6.24, as I recall, was purely exe based changes.

[celest skiff]

if i click Verify integrity of game files, will it delete anything ive gotten by editing accountdata.hg or similar

[final hazel]

No.

It just verifies the integrity of the game files, not save data

[celest skiff]

kk

tyyyyyyy

[quasi dust]

i assumed this too, which means it may infact be a decision by HG. Its a terrible one imo. Reducing danger when there is already so little of it. i hope it is indeed a bug. if i recall, upon voyager release, there was this issue reported,seemed to not be an issue after a hotfix, now it seems to have returned. so if anything was changed in the exe regarding corvettes or pirate spawns in recent patches,thats likely it. would hope a dev could give an answer

[solid hawk]

HelloGames employees don't and can't come here or any other HG related social media. I suppose they could just lurk in their off-time, doubt any do, but specifically barred from interacting in any way, due to NDA.

[quasi dust]

i submitted a ticket at zendesk

[solid hawk]

Cool. Hope you get the clarity you wish.

[quasi dust]

hope so, or i will be not using these new corvettes

such a shame, i built one last night in creative mode just to test this. its a sour intro to them for me

[solid hawk]

You wouldn't be the only one

I've one, minimal parts. Too much of a waste of time and effort to run back and forth to\from the ramp and cockpit. lol

Each to her\his own though. The beauty of NMS, different people can play in different ways.

[vale iron]

I doubt they intentionally prevented pirates from attacking corvettes

[obsidian trout]

wait you can add mods to nms how

[obsidian trout]

ah thank you

[novel lynx]

Are there any mods that adds Outer Wilds stuff to the game

[empty trail]

Mods cannot add new features or content, only alter existing in game values we have access to

We can still do quite a lot with that but not really adding anything

[novel lynx]

Damn Tjat sucks

[vale iron]

It would help if I knew what "Outer Wilds Stuff" is. I played the game and still don't know

[novel lynx]

Planets, the space ship, the spacesuit

Heck even these guys

[vale iron]

The suit, no, anything involving animations is so hard as to be pretty much impossible. No sane modder would do them

Which means suits

[novel lynx]

Is there a way to use what weve currently got to make a convincing Spacesuit from OW?

[vale iron]

Planets work completely differently. They are very carefully sculpted and very small in Outer wilds, but 1000s of times bigger but not crafted in NMS

[novel lynx]

True

[vale iron]

It's possible but unlikely

I don't think any of the people that might have the skill are willing to try it

[novel lynx]

I mean, I did make one from memory but

[vale iron]

If you could create a model/skin that mirrors an existing piece in geometry, someone could probably do it

If anything veers outside of existing collisions and animations, it likely won't work

[novel lynx]

I’ll send what I made with the base game gear we’ve got

[true atlas]

Im here praying to the sky gods for a mod that will center the corvette stairs. I bring offerings

would something like that be resistant to game updates?

[fresh arch]

nope

HG can change things at their whim any time and there's no guarantee stuff will stay the same

with the Remnant update they changed how light is calculated, meaning all older mods with scene MBIN files utilizing old lighting values would produce extremely bright light sources when loaded into the game

and over a year ago HG reworked the modding system entirely, rendering all mods outdated

[true atlas]

aahh sheet. ok thanks.

[solid hawk]

Something like that would be the least update resistent of mods, due to the file type it would need to be changed in, which can only be full content replacement type mod, not a patch mod.

[stuck portal]

Anyone got a good resource on building lua files for mod compatibility?

[fresh arch]

the only real resource is the AMUMSS script rules document shipped with every AMUMSS install

otherwise there's the LUA script repository hosted on Github but it contains outdated scripts as well

If you don't mind asking, why would you need such a resource for "mod compatibility"?

[stuck portal]

Mainly so that my mods wouldn't clash, unless EXML files don't overwrite each other?

[fresh arch]

they don't

the whole point of making EXML patch mods is that we can use multiple EXML patch mods on the same file without having to worry about mod conflicts

[stuck portal]

Ah

[fresh arch]

if done properly, each EXML patch contains only the changes to specifc file segments for given mod

think of vanilla game file as a printed document and EXML patch mods as sticky notes, you slap them on the document and write your changes

as long as you dont try to slap different sticky notes on the same place on the document, you're good

[stuck portal]

Ok, thanks

I had to do that for model mods so I instinctively thought I had to for EXML too

That simplifies things a lot

[fresh arch]

MBIN mods utilize full file replacements, those need to be merged in case of conflicts

have one file carry over changes from multiple mods to the same vanilla MBIN file

[jovial echo]

Hello. Im trying to make a mod. I believe its tied to an animation.
I would like to speed up the time it takes to turn on a autoswitch. Its default value is exactly 1 second. Which is super slow even for switching stability.

Normally 1 second isn't a problem. Until you have 100s of switch all working together to run program.

It literally takes my autoswitch relay computer 6 minutes to type Hello World.

It takes 1 hour to play 3 levels of break out.

And this is with years of optimizations. I think I hit a break wall and finally must mod the game to push it further.

Any advice on anything I should consider first. Im thinking if I can find the animation file I might be able to edit its speed.

[steel crypt]

I haven't looked into anything like that, but there might be an entity tied to the model with a 1 second delay for the switch. I would check that first because it would probably be the easiest thing to do.

What is an "autoswitch"?
I assume a base building part?
The files aren't named like that, so any description would help.

@jovial echo

[jovial echo]

cool thanks. yup autoswitch is a base building part. works just like a relay.

[steel crypt]

One of these 2 files might be what you're looking for?
models\planets\biomes\common\buildings\parts\buildableparts\utilityparts\switch_bytebeat\entities\data.entity.MXML models\planets\biomes\common\buildings\parts\buildableparts\utilityparts\switch_transistor\entities\data.entity.MXML

Didn't notice a purposeful delay, so it might be instant and relying just on animation to complete. There is an animation speed setting in the entity.

@jovial echo

Uhh the larger sized file is from the switch_bytebeat directory, and the smaller from switch_transistor

[jovial echo]

oh wow they actually labled it as switch_transistor lol thats funny

[steel crypt]

Since there doesn't seem to be a purposeful delay for the action triggers:

I would look at the animation speed setting:

@jovial echo

I'll stop pinging you now lol

[jovial echo]

oh wow ill give it a shot, thanks.

[vale iron]

I can update my switch mod if you want

It extends the time for switches

[jovial echo]

oh cool that would be soo awesome. yes. to be able to speed the switches up as much as possible and still be stable would be awesome. i literally have 1000s of switches doing actuall computations.

[jovial echo]

this is the project im working on. im now up to a full 5 bit relay computer that can compute bitmapped graphics lol. https://youtu.be/YkYr5Tk40uU

[vale iron]

Dear god, I did a 4 switch locked door once and it was like 1/1000 of that

I'll do it tonight or tomorrow mornign (730pm forme)

Holy crap...

[quasi dust]

nexus mods is so bad

that website so patchy for anyone else lately?

Don't like NexusMods, don't use NMS mods. That's the upshot.

[gaunt temple]

Anyone know why goat fungus isnt seeing my .hg file?

[gaunt temple]

Got it to work but now i might need guidance bc i wanna change my freighter warp range in the json file editor but i dont know which set of values it us

[final hazel]

You don't need raw json editing for that, just go to the freighter tab and increase the hyperdrive bonus I think

[gaunt temple]

I wanna crank it to like 30k

Thats why

[final hazel]

You could also install multiple Reality De-Threaders in it's technology inventory

[gaunt temple]

Dont have any

[final hazel]

What do you mean? You are using a save editor, just add them

[gaunt temple]

Ohh thought u meant in-game

[fresh arch]

post the screenshot of goatfungus window

[final hazel]

We can't add multiple of the same blueprint tech in-game

[fresh arch]

the account hg file is not a file you open / select from a list

it's just another tab that should be always active (once you select the folder with save data)

[gaunt temple]

Says item not fojnd

[final hazel]

That shouldn't happen

it works for me fully

[gaunt temple]

Just sent a picture

[final hazel]

then you searched the wrong term

just type in Reality, then press search

it will then automatically locate that technology entry

each Reality De-Threader gives 800 LY, so you should easily reach 50,000 LY with 50 supercharged ones

[gaunt temple]

Isnt there only 60 tech slots?

[final hazel]

Yes, that is true

[fresh arch]

doesn't the freighter have a base warp range stat bonus that can be cranked up?

similar to manuev. on starships?

[gaunt temple]

Ok, why is the account tab greyed out?

[final hazel]

Yes, I said that already

That would also multiply the hyperdrive range given from these technology blueprints

[final hazel]

I do not know

[gaunt temple]

When i click save changes am i done? It just saves the .hg file and doesnt make another?

[final hazel]

Yes, it saves to that specific file

if you still have the game open, you must reload that specific save slot

(odd numbers are autosave, even numbers are restore point)

[gaunt temple]

So i uh...it works....but i dont have 50k range, i have 688k

[final hazel]

Then you probably increased the hyperdrive bonus % on the freighter itself too

[gaunt temple]

My multitool has 400k damage 🤣🤔

I did

My ship broke bc the maneuverability was like 70k so i was forced to remove some of my upgrades lmao

[final hazel]

Yes, some stats break when increased beyond intended limits

[gaunt temple]

My ship has 19k range so 👍

Also has 500k dps

Totally legit

[woeful needle]

i've been looking at all the great builds for corvettes and came across a guy with a really REALLY big corvette... so now I am curious: how did he get freighter parts and constructable items into the corvette? I also saw someone else who did the same, but with base parts and contructables; his ship had base storage containers shrunk and implemented into one of the walls in his ship. It was cool to see it, but how do these people do it?

[woeful needle]

this is awesome help... much appreciated

[quasi dust]

im going over the games OG patch notes, pathfinder for example, and i see on the screenshots of patchnotes , steam workshop posted mods for base's that were built and published

was there steam workshop support for modding in the past??

https://www.nomanssky.com/pathfinder-update/

if so what was the reason for removal?

[stuck portal]

it looks like it's just a way for other people to share bases, not mods

I imagine the reason for its removal is that this particular function is no longer needed to be done through steam workshop

[cobalt condor]

Steam Workshop was just for sharing bases, yeah.

At the time, you could only build bases at dedicated base building POIs, in which you were limited to only building within the flattened circle of terrain. With the Workshop integration, you were able to download shared bases into your game at any of those base building POIs (I think it was limited to creative mode).

It was removed when NEXT came out because that update made it so you could build bases anywhere, so you couldn't really copy paste bases in anymore because they wouldn't fit with the terrain

Same reason you can't move your own bases between planets anymore

[quasi dust]

wow how far weve come

[abstract stag]

hey guys, is there any mod that adds more filters to the star map? like sort for dissonant systems like for species? i didnt find anything on the nexus, thought i still ask in case im jsut blind

[final hazel]

No. At best, there's one that colors things differently like text and icons to make it easier to see these
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3914

[stuck portal]

But nothing that changes what the game filters

[final hazel]

There's also a separate color deignation for outlaw systems im the conflict filter, but it's set to the same color as high conflict in the vanilla game. There is a mod that fixes/changes that too https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/4055

[fresh arch]

sadly no, in general we can not add new functionality to the game

almost most of functional stuff is controlled by the game's executable, to which we have no access

Hello fellow friends

Sweet

[quasi dust]

actually iv used others mods for a while, now after going throught their EXML's iv decided to take a crack at learning to decompile the MBIN files to create my own difficulty overhaul

actually could anyone help? im more of a visual learner

is there any videos recent for teaching how to use the MBIN compiler?

i simply wana get in some files and change some tech sell prices to start with

and the only video i see on YT is 3 years old

[rapid sandal]

On a pc you should be able to just drop a mbin file on the mbincompiler.exe and it will generate the mxml, or drop a mxml on it and it will generate the mbin. You just need to make sure you are using the correct mbincompiler.exe for the mbin, it's game release specific.

[abstract stag]

@marble field

[marble field]

dw, i fixed it, i accessed mydocked starship from beneath

[abstract stag]

nice

[quasi dust]

so the mbincompiler gets (needs to) updated each game version? (monkeyman github)

i can somehow change the mxml to EXML with compiler too?

therefore generally not needing to update that EXML in future

[rapid sandal]

yes, mbincompiler gets updated with each game release. you have to manually create an exml from an mxml, or i believe amumss may generate exml now when the lua scripts are run.

[quasi dust]

ok

i cant actually find the exe for the MBIN compiler

https://github.com/monkeyman192/MBINCompiler

i have downloaded MBIN compiler folder

actually i may have DL'd the developer stuff

[rapid sandal]

https://github.com/monkeyman192/MBINCompiler/releases

[quasi dust]

6.24.0 pre 2

is that correct?

ah ok thank you

so i just DL the exe and run it?

does it generate a folder structure/do i have to create a folder structure?

[rapid sandal]

just need the exe, the dll is if you are creating an app and want to link to the dll to do the converions to|from mbin|mxml. they both use the same underlying code, the exe just wraps the dll code with the command-line parser and processing logic.

[quasi dust]

i see, thanks. one more question , i assume im looking for a file called "GCPRODUCTTABLE.MBIN" however i nNMS / GAMEDATA / PC BANKS I only see a bunch of pak files and none corrospond to this

what exactly should i be looking for to drop into the compiler if i wana edit tech sell prices?

[rapid sandal]

the game pak files are like zip files, you need to find the right pak file and extract the mbin from it using something like hgpaktool: https://github.com/monkeyman192/HGPAKtool/releases, or extract the contents of all the paks, or use nmsmb which can unpack and decompile and view all the pak contents without having to first extract to disk.

[quasi dust]

i understand now, thanks

if you're familiar with AMUMSS, you can try recompiling the mod from the LUA script someone else made

Give it a shot and see how it goes

As far as Full Engine Flames for Sentinel Ships, as FriendlyFire says, process the Lua script he linked through AMUMSS to generate an updated version of the mod. Nobody else is going to redo that mod or touch it in any way without the original authors written consent.
