[dusk basalt]

Is there any up to date mod that allows me to summon exocraft anywhere?

[mint folio]

hey guys, is there any mod that enables NPCs to sell the resources to craft items like Fusion Accelerant?

[flat bridge]

@dreamy tulip Found this interesting pre-release planet, have you seen this one before?

[dreamy tulip]

Hi

Yes

@flat bridge

It's an unused ocean biome variant

[west notch]

I just downloaded the default filter swap mod

It has a version of the mod that says it puts "filmic filters"

That means there are multiple filmic filters?

Idk exactly what filmic filters are besides the "filmic" filter that is in the camera options

[ashen brook]

@dreamy tulip Does your ship swapper still work? I noticed your vids have you flying a sentinel ship

[wooden cobalt]

Is their a good mod to remove smoke from space

asdfghjkl

[noble iron]

@mint folio This might be what you're looking for.

@wooden cobalt Cleanspace is decent for removing space clouds https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/623

[noble iron]

Theres also 'No Space Dust'
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/626/

[regal zealot]

@dreamy tulip when you say unused, does that mean it is in the game but dormant or it was cut before release altogether?

[wooden cobalt]

tThank you!!!

[dreamy tulip]

@regal zealot It's not used in-game but idling in the files

@ashen brook Not yet sorry, spent 4 days and 8 hours porting over my custom Inventory Hybrid to NEXT.... and then another 10 hours straight making a mini "UI" editor via executable memory code; in order properly align the custom inventory contents that I added on the screen. I'll likely be doing a different take, but atm, I'm porting my custom assets to NEXT as I have a lot of stuff to do - but I'll get around to it.

[rancid shale]

What did you guys find already in the new files?

I heard smth about ship customisation menu from Archie

[vagrant iron]

[thin viper]

where?

[rancid shale]

Hmm spicy

[thin viper]

from whre

where*

[vagrant iron]

Like what file?

[thin viper]

yeah

[vagrant iron]

DEFAULTREALITY

[thin viper]

oooh

nice

[vagrant iron]

yeah, you can enable it but doesn't really work yet

[thin viper]

yeah

saw that vid the other day

[vagrant iron]

i havent tried the weapon one though

[thin viper]

hmm i wonder if its simply a paint job type thing

or actual swap parts stuff

[vagrant iron]

it definitely seems to be paint for now

[thin viper]

i will probably make it have 10 back thrusters if they give actual part swapping lol

[vagrant iron]

lol

off being able to customize exotic ships

[thin viper]

yep

i imagine all the euphemistic ships

[vagrant iron]

[thin viper]

especially with the exotic round cockpit

[vagrant iron]

nvm, dont gib customization

[thin viper]

lol

[mint folio]

@noble iron thank you!

[quiet belfry]

Anyone know if there are any mods that increase the capacity of storage containers? Or adds more storage , Sorry if there is more storage options later in the story xD

[pastel portal]

Anyone around that does nodding? If so is it possible to write a mod to rebalance the prices of everything? Specifically make b, a, s and exotic significantly more expensive than they currently are?

Modding

[summer mural]

Is there a grass density decrease mod?

[thorny flax]

oof

[hearty wasp]

Yes I do nodding

In fact I'm nodding right now

[shadow solar]

Sooooo

How does this missing stuff work?

Modding

It is just editing files?

[vagrant iron]

Yes, after they are unpacked and decompiled

[half aspen]

q, is there any good tool for comparing content of .mbin files ? (diff)

[cyan oracle]

I've heard about the ship customization content discovered.. but has anyone talked about ship interiors yet? new COMMONPARTS folder in MODELS\COMMON\SPACECRAFT that has "SHIPINTERIORS" folder and parts for the inside of ships? This all being separate from "HANGARPARTS".. and Frigates have their own interior parts in the FRIGATE folder.. so does this mean HG might allow us to walk around in our ships someday?

[rough raptor]

you guys heard that you can use mods on multiplayer even if the other person doesn't?

[sage shore]

I just got shit on. I tried warping with a friend, and i went through my freighter and died. My multitool got damaged and changed colour. I made it a point to keep my suit, ship and mutitool the same colour but that dream is now destroyed

is there a mod that will change my multitool colour back?

And are mods safe to use?

Could my weapon colour be off because of the customization thing?

[hearty wasp]

mods are as save as they always have been

[sage shore]

anyone here?

[cursive root]

Is there a guide that shows us how to make mods that affect the same file compatible file with one another? I wanna make the [Better Torch Light] mod compatible with [Starship out of range and faster scanner].

[vagrant iron]

If you're looking for a more active place to discuss modding, check the pins, theres a link to the NMS Modding discord there

[sage shore]

thanks!

[vagrant iron]

@cyan oracle Good call out about the spaceship interior parts, i hadn't noticed it

[spark crow]

@dreamy tulip you got this covered right?

[eager apex]

Hello I have a question :)
Is it possible get the Seed of the Sentinel Fighter/Drone/Police? Or is it only possible via a mod? :(

[quartz cargo]

they dont use seeds

[eager apex]

Oh all right thank you! :)

[unreal rapids]

eucli-ea for next wen /s

[tired light]

Has anyone developed any mods that make planet generation a little less similar and boring

[elder jacinth]

can someone make a mod that makes this (https://imgur.com/eqGzNUI) the normal mode?

[gaunt loom]

what am i missing with my mod, i am trying to strip out the overly agressive suit voice from "warning" me about something every 10 seconds. I can unpack the sound pak rip out the sound files i dont want and repak it and drop directly into pcbanks but if i pak it and drop in in mods the sound still plays

sorry it works fine if i drop it directly into pcbank and replace the default pak

but if i place it in mods the sounds still play

looks like if its not present in the mods/pak it still fails back to the default pak file

do i have to replace the sound im trying to avoid with an empty sound file?

[noble iron]

@gaunt loom I'd suggest joining the modding discord, they can help you more there.
https://discord.gg/9QBKg6Z

[gaunt loom]

thanks i just did that from a pinned message

reposting there

[lime mesa]

Hello so i am trying to start using some spefic graphical tweeks for no mans sky installed NMM and it says i need a folder in pcbanks?
do i just throw a mod folder in no mans sky if there is a guide to this ill gladly read through it not seeing anything

I googled and figured it out thanks anyways

took a minute to find something lol

any tips on what mods i should use since im obviously starting out getting the clean ui one thinking about getting hd clouds

Side note the ui one increased my fps by 20 frames holy crap

[dapper crystal]

Hey, is there a mod out there that removes the requirement of star silk to build chairs?

[quartz cargo]

@lime mesa i recommend any that increase the draw distance of asteroids, floodlights, Crescent Worlds, Less intrusive rings, Fast Actions, No blinding lights

i use more than that, but those are nice ones

and Dark Space.. but id wait until you get used to space first, see if you'd even want it

i also use a 2x stack size, i LOVE it. it makes things so much less tedious, but id wait to get that too if you like it

i played the game vanilla for awhile, and slowly added more. trying to keep it relatively vanilla

[lime mesa]

@quartz cargo Thanks for the tips i already got dark space i dont mind it being colorful but it was a bit over board on the colors im looks way better now i will look into the other ones as well 😄

[ocean osprey]

@dreamy tulip would it be possible to update your atmospheric fog as a seperate mod? Also, would you consider making a 50% version of the Vintage Filter replacer? I feel it would emulate the Pre-Release look much better, the modern vintage is very heavy.

[sand sinew]

Yeah, I'd love a mod that just added the pallettes from vanilla back without altering the terrain generation itself. (if that's possible). Though it's important that the colours still feel cohesive, something which a lot of mods forgo for the sake of variety.

[ocean osprey]

What I was also thinking of was a kind of rotating palette

so the differences in colors still persist, but the general hue of the palette is shifted by a random amount

[zealous basin]

Where would be a good place to grab some mods for NMS? I'm mainly looking for something to increase the draw distance of asteroids and such, and maybe something to make space more black?

[ocean osprey]

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

https://nomansskymods.com/

either are good

[zealous basin]

threw the pak folders into the MODS folder. Not sure what to do next

.pak archives*

[ocean osprey]

delete Disablemods.txt

maybe delete the Shadercache folder

and then launch the game!

[zealous basin]

Does playing with mods make multiplayer impossible?

[gilded grotto]

No

Mods are client side

[ocean osprey]

and if you have the same mods as another player, you will share the same modded universe

[zealous basin]

So what happens if I'm on a modded planet and someone else comes alone?

Also so far my dark space mod isn't working. I just get that weird trippy missing texture thing

[hearty wasp]

they see you floating

and the animals the spawns on your end spawns on their end too, but they'd be floating as well

[zealous basin]

lol. I'll stick to black space. Need a link to a proper mod that extends the draw distance for asteroids without messing with them or getting rid of them

Also, no doors or doorways when making my freighter kinda sucks

[ocean osprey]

@zealous basin you can put in one of the modular walls (wood etc.), they dont snap but you can put doors in those

[zealous basin]

It's not letting me choose from the modular parts. Just freighter bits

Do I need to put a base computer in there? Because I'm also getting major invisible wall issues trying to place ANY wall storage boxes into the side of my ship

[lime mesa]

McSmoothy you need the mod Bases+ to place ground items on freighters

And using mods in multiplayer is perfectly fine, people see you normally

[zealous basin]

They wouldn't see any of the ground stuff on my freighter though would they?

[ocean osprey]

they would

it simply unlocks the stuff

the parts you use are still vanilla

[zealous basin]

Oh. Well that's good. Maybe can get someone to help me make my ship look half way decent

Using the 'rooms' from the freighter parts doesn't let me make actual rooms. Just makes the area bigger

[ocean osprey]

you need a corridor between them

want some help?

[zealous basin]

I may just focus my efforts into building on plant for now lol

Build a small town. Maybe also a proper race track 😛

[ocean osprey]

sounds good 👍

[ashen brook]

@ocean osprey Hawt ava

[ocean osprey]

wha

[hearty wasp]

good progress today, at least I can finally make custom scenes buildable again

only... 516 scenes and then some entities/materials to go, Y A Y

but if you wanna help make Eucli-ea, the mod that brought that broke dick piece of shit drill to NMS (and buildable decors), slide into my DM and I'll pay you... nothing, I'm poor

[dapper crystal]

I cant wait for the day that someone makes a mod that prevents the planet from being seen through the freighter, takes away this annoying af visible fog circle around the character, and fixes the pixelated upper atmosphere

[ocean osprey]

@hearty wasp are you perhaps considering making the flags and logos a standalone, or would you consider it if I fell onto my knees and asked you to do it with tears in my eyes?

[hearty wasp]

You can break the world record of the number of hotdogs ate in 15 minutes and I'll only release Eucliea as 3 packages: standard version, compatibility version and CubeSnap, to make sure everyone can see all of each others' decor in their fullest

[ocean osprey]

aight fair

[hearty wasp]

Only this time I'll remove the drill

[ocean osprey]

💔

[hearty wasp]

if you want to sooner, consider helping me update the shit, you only need a basic understanding of xml

[lime mesa]

Anyway someone could make a snappable "air" block for use on freighters to increase ceiling height, also anyway someone could make it to where you could build in the hangar of the freighter as well?

[hearty wasp]

what do you mean by increase ceiling height

[lime mesa]

Simple a freighter has 13 stories, make it to where you can have large open vertical corridors

[hearty wasp]

also we can't really make a non-buildable location buildable cos we haven't found the trigger for it yet

[lime mesa]

Ah

[hearty wasp]

mmm, not sure what I can do to make the ceiling thing happen yet, but I'll keep it in mind

[lime mesa]

Would really be interesting since again there is 13 floors of potential, could hollow out the entire freighter

Freighter build zone that is

[hearty wasp]

in the mean time, set RemoveBaseBuildingRestrictions to true in your graphics settnigs so you can use cuberooms/other structures in your freighter

[lime mesa]

Bases+ allows that

[hearty wasp]

yeah that also makes freighter pieces go well on planets blah blah blah, but it will conflict with all other mods that add any basebuilding objects

I mean I'll probably incorporate it to my own taste when I finish updating eucliea but still, mod conflicts are mod conflicts

whereas turning a setting to true doesn't have mod conflicts, because it's literally a part of the game

but yeah use that for now anyway, my mod ain't updated yet lmao

[shadow solar]

If you apply a mod to your game (exotic ship one), and remove it after you get the ship you want, does it mess anything up?

[elder jacinth]

Any mods that let me aim independently of where I'm flying? I've looked around and I've only seen some flight reworks. If there's no mod like the one I described, what flight mods would you recommend? I play on a controller

[tidal vapor]

Is there any way whatsoever to increase warp distance right now?

[toxic goblet]

warp upgrades work

[tidal vapor]

I mean with mods, like the infinite warp ones

From past gae versions

[vagrant iron]

Yes

Check http://nomansskymods.com

I just looked all over and didn't see one! Thanks

[vagrant bone]

Hmm

[lime mesa]

How are mods allowed in this game?

[quartz cargo]

what do you mean how are they allowed?

[hearty wasp]

it just... fucking works?

[autumn moth]

u just shove it in and it works

[hearty wasp]

yep, essentially that

[timber lark]

game just loads data in a specific directory, no checking 😛

[robust lagoon]

any internal resolution scaling mods that are updated? I found one, but it also lowers other graphical features that I don't want to be lowered

[west ravine]

any mods for a photo mode shortcut without cheat engine? I don't want to risk my account getting banned

[hearty wasp]

no

and you won't get banned either way

[west ravine]

ok

[autumn stump]

anyone use NoTradeRoutes? someone suggested it but i can't seem to find it on nexusmods x.x

[vagrant bone]

That's cause there's no really competitive player based activity in NMS, weekly events could qualify but it would have to be something that a save editor or mods couldn't effect (like an infinite jetpack mod vs a stock player would be on equal playing fields)

[quartz cargo]

@autumn stump the thing to get rid of trade route lines?

its the cleaner space mod, under optional

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/623?tab=files

[echo oxide]

I was wondering if we could have non proc-gen models for player models- for reasons I want to play as Samus in the Varia Suit

[golden cape]

heyooo

i've been told you guys have a way of making NMS run in background?

[bronze mantle]

@echo oxide The models would have to be recreated for NMS to avoid doing anything seriously illegal like asset ripping, but since player models are a fixed combo of parts and ships have been modded in wholesale, it's almost certainly doable.

Actually hold up. @golden cape
https://nomansskymods.com/mods/no-pause-when-alt-tabbed/

here you go

[golden cape]

thx

aww but...it needs the cheat engine to run in backbground all the time? ehh...

[toxic current]

Does anyone know where I can get an up-to-date list of item IDs?

[vital finch]

I have a suggestion for a mod

The horizon omega pre-order ship, if someone could mod it into the game, and make it a max rank / final level fighter

that'd be pretty awesome

[hearty wasp]

just edit your save, it's just a specific ship seed

[vital finch]

well i have no idea how to mod anything xD

[hearty wasp]

then you'd be right to start learning, you just google the seed, copy it to the corresponding slot in your save editor, and done

the current save editor even has a button that automatically maxes your ship slots

if you can't click a button. it's on you

[vital finch]

is the save editor on the nomanssky website?

[hearty wasp]

just google NMS save editor, should be the first few ones

[vital finch]

ok thanks for the help 😃

[bronze mantle]

0xC4C9C1AABCA59FE6 @vital finch I gotchu fam. Legit preorder here.

Problem is, I think the ship itself is bugged.

Colors are Alpha Vector/PS4, not Horizon Omega/PC

I used an editor to make the large fighter look like one of the small fighters because the ring ship is cooler.

[hearty wasp]

you gotta turn the old something something colour to true

it's like why the exotics were messed up

[bronze mantle]

this was fresh claimed from the menu in a new save

so old colors are on

[vital finch]

@bronze mantle thanks man, I appreciate it

oh bugged as in not a workable ship?

[bronze mantle]

nah, bugged is colors only

it's a fine ship especially when yoinked up to 38/S

[vital finch]

yeah that's what I want to do, I currently have a 38 fighter

but I hate how it looks

it's too bulky imo

[bronze mantle]

sweet just plug that in

and check old colors, hope it works

if it's borken it will be only a little borken

i.e., it'll look like ps4ship

it was actually named alpha vector when I claimed it

[vital finch]

so no side jets

i know theres a version with side wing jets

now with the save editor, do you place it in the mods folder?

[bronze mantle]

Huh, okay, so, PS4 ship is the same color, should be blue

[vital finch]

or anywhere

[bronze mantle]

bug is just that it's red whenever claimed lul

Well, that's ok.

Da red wunz go fasta.

nah, save editor automatically saves to the same spot

[vital finch]

well i dont care so much for the color as for the actual look of it

[bronze mantle]

just gotta open up your save

and yeah that works, it'll be a red horizon omega named Nojose's Crystal Folly

[vital finch]

you cant save edit anything what is natural in the game correct?

[bronze mantle]

yeh

and some unnatural, I don't know if there's a slot limit

I'm sticking to the limits of vanilla definitions

...with some extra, like fixing exotics not being able to spawn with large sizes

[vital finch]

yeah, i was just wondering because

i like some of the small ships

but i hate 19 inventory

or like my mining tool

its 24 slots

but looks like ass

so was wondering if i could change its looks xD

[bronze mantle]

absolutely

there's a site for seeds too

nmseeds.club

[vital finch]

yeah

thats where i found the skins xD

[bronze mantle]

I gave my MT a slick experimental skin

[vital finch]

oh? which ones that

the alien ones?

[bronze mantle]

Nope, techy

The ones that look like Aperture Science rejects

[vital finch]

only thing i cant figure out is how to select colors

when injecting the seeds

[bronze mantle]

They're in the seeds.

[vital finch]

welp heres to testing

hot dog it worked

[rigid mesa]

It doesn't for me..

I also tried the Aperture one but it failed I got some other random shit

[quiet plover]

is there a mod like LowFlight but for no man's sky NEXT?

[hearty wasp]

Yes

[thin valve]

Exocraft garage doors

Wait I think it actually asked for that already

Lmao my memory is big bad

[hearty wasp]

yeah you asked that a year ago

[uneven bone]

are there any ship mods for next yet?

i haven't seen any on nexus

[waxen cedar]

@quiet plover where do you need low flight mod when next literally gives you low flight. You can fly in caves and pretty much anywhere

[quiet plover]

i need that for hovering

and looking straight down with my starship

[waxen cedar]

Ooh okay

Btw has anyone found anything about ship/exocraft customization in the game files?

[bronze mantle]

@quiet plover there's a mod on nexus, fitz's qol fixes

that has a very nice ship steering module

also yes, azure

some dataminer found ship painting

[verbal cairn]

@waxen cedar tomorrow there is event things starting owo and the quicksilver could get you customization things...

[thin valve]

owo can I join

Oh wait I have work

;-;

[hearty wasp]

blender plugin ain't got updated yet @uneven bone if you wanna help with that feel free

[waxen cedar]

blender plugin?

[verbal cairn]

@thin valve its all week owo

[thin valve]

Goowo

[waxen cedar]

@verbal cairn Where do they say that the event starts tomorrow?

[hearty wasp]

you need blender to export the custom models @uneven bone

[uneven bone]

oh, gotcha

[verbal cairn]

they said after nms launches there would be events

and playstation had something about event going until 1am tuesday gmt

[hearty wasp]

ah I see

[waxen cedar]

I can only see the NEXT Update even on playstation

and it's over now

soo

@verbal cairn link pls

[dapper crystal]

is there any mod out there that prevents trees from spawning inside of structures lol

they keep respawning inside my buildings

when i make big bases

Oh and is there a way to increase render distance of buildings? so my base isnt constantly disappearing whenever i go more than 100 feet away from it and i have to wait for everything to load in

[robust lagoon]

iirc there’s a draw distance mod

I dunno if it affects buildings tho

[dapper crystal]

its just that everything reloads when you arent that far away, like doors, platforms, plants, objects inside

not really the buildings themselves

but the additions to them

so if i go more than 100 feet away i hear all my plants repopping as i move back closer

and ill see my doors, windows, ramps, base accessories etc all respawn

walls too, windows

its just not immersive at all

and like the support struts too for buildings will disappear

[safe turtle]

Guys

That last image 👌🏻

[vital finch]

otherwise my cave base will have to be scrapped 😦

[dreamy tulip]

Thanks... almost done porting for NEXT

[robust lagoon]

Glad to hear, you always do some awesome work

You know if it would ever be possible to create a ship mod where you can aim your weapon’s reticle independently from where you ship is flying?

[warm thistle]

Nice! Looks stunning man

[dreamy tulip]

Thank you, I'm glad that you both like it.
Sorry, just getting back

I am not sure about that Anna Trap Sempai 😃

[hallow pumice]

Awesome can't wait to see your overhaul in NEXT ;D

[dreamy tulip]

Going to finish working on this pre-release style (Crystal Biome)

@hallow pumice It won't be called 'Overhaul' this time 😛

[hallow pumice]

😮

[dreamy tulip]

More than likely, though it is a massive overhaul

[hallow pumice]

Massive overhaul, The reboot

[dreamy tulip]

It'll surely be a reboot and an overhaul to the old fan project, but I'm working on a unique approach (in regard to something) that will change the scope of the fan project... but I don't want to spoil it.

[hallow pumice]

Damn that's exciting, any hints though 😛

Or you probably should show it when it's ready

[robust lagoon]

Wouldn’t be a surprise with a ton of hints 🤷🏼‍♀️

[dreamy tulip]

It's going to take some time, I want to be sure that I'm the first to bring my idea to fruition

[surreal ocean]

@dreamy tulip would love to help you test 😄

[dreamy tulip]

Sure. Once I get things in a reasonable state.

It's coming out nicer than ever so far, but... there's still more work to do that I am doing atm. I'm creating a certain structure and consistency within the project's source, so that once I get a really good setup fully ported and adapted for NEXT - I'll begin to expand on it in ways unlike before

[surreal ocean]

awesome, thanks for putting so much work into it as always

[dreamy tulip]

Thanks for taking the time to check it out! 😃

[surreal ocean]

i've been missing the old flora density mods, can't wait to see what you come up with

[dreamy tulip]

I do like biome mods. However, there's a certain quality and conistency that it must meet for me to consider using it.

Also, with NEXT the bar is raised higher.

When I began to work on the 'reboot' to my already existing fan project a month before NEXT released, I had set this standard and general rule for myself as a priority that I'm not willing to bend: Every planet, every moment in-game must look/feel like a concept art.

Now that NEXT released, and it's absolutely gorgeous...

I'm setting the bar higher for myself.

So, that will still be the general rule (and to keep vanilla content and stuff possible and as a thing) - But to make it even prettier than it already is... alongside creating a new game inside of an existing game - whereas it'll feel more like an addition to the game rather than a mod (while also being a multi-build hybrid), non-saturated, and mostly subtle... but at times not subtle at all.

Alongside a lot of new features and content and creative ideas being fleshed out and implemented as I continue to work on developing the newer build

[surreal ocean]

any mods out there that fix the camera/mining laser vertical lock for the colossus?

[quartz cargo]

@dreamy tulip does your camera overhaul use GCCAMERAGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN?

[dreamy tulip]

Hi, yes. That's the only file that it modifies.

[wooden cobalt]

@dreamy tulip If you were to put a number on how much unused content NMS has in update perspectives, how many updates worth of content do you think it has unused?

You've spotted a modding opportunity! Now, brush up on modding & seize it for yourself! Otherwise someone else will, and you'll have to wait till you spot another. Will you make a name for yourself as a modder today?

[vapid fjord]

Question for y'all

Does modding affect people joining you? 🤔

[drowsy lagoon]

@vapid fjord "It has been brought to my attention that certain mods, such as editing ship stats, spawn tables, and weather; can affect other players in the same online session"

[normal summit]

is there a mod that adds the stuff to make cryopumps availible for sale again?

[ashen brook]

Just wanted to drop this out there cuz...holy crap this camera mod is the greatest I've used so far by an absolute landslide

https://nomansskymods.com/mods/improved-third-person-ship-camera/

Combat feels FUN now

Flying isn't a game of trying to see ahead of my ship with the ship in the way...

It's insane how different flight feels with the little tweaks

[quartz cargo]

@ashen brook i absolutely agree. this is a MUST have.

it can get a little wonky at times when you're flying, but thats on the player controlling the camera, not the mod

well, you can get disoriented easily if you constantly turn the camera trying to follow ships

thats what i mean by wonky

[ashen brook]

What I do is flash the camera quickly and release to turn rapidly. I know what you mean by wonky camera controls though.

I really hope either the mod author takes it and runs with it or other mod authors take some of the camera tweaks into their own mods.

[hearty wasp]

or even better

tweak em yourself

[quartz cargo]

i think its rly nice as it is, however other mods could use it integrated as well

i dont think it needs to be tweaked

you just need to get used to the extended view, and when not to keep looking in that direction

[hearty wasp]

so you mean

tweak yourself

[quartz cargo]

no?

i mean, it doesn't need to be tweaked........

[ashen brook]

@hearty wasp Yes I could tweak them myself if I was promoting myself, but I'm not. I'm promoting someone else 😛

[hearty wasp]

no I was saying you should tweak yourself

why does every other joke I make fall through like that guy in Taiwan jumping out of the plane and having both his parachutes fail

[ashen brook]

Because you tell people to go tweak themselves?

People have to assume either you're being offensive or pretend they don't understand. You should be happy people don't assume the prior. That means they have more respect for you than they maybe should.

[hearty wasp]

nah at least people being offended would be funny

[zenith shoal]

is there a mod like this working for next? https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/91?tab=posts

[hearty wasp]

not one that I've heard of yet

[robust lagoon]

Tbh space doesn’t feel that lonely in next

A good chunk of the systems I go to have ships

[wooden cobalt]

I personally wish their was more dead planets, literally nothing on them but landscape, no fauna/flora

I barely ever find planets like that

Wish their was a mod for it

[bronze mantle]

@drowsy lagoon What's the source on that? I play with an Always S rank items mod, and MP folks just... get different multitools and ships.

@wooden cobalt I find too many of those.

But they're a bit bugged

They have caves with life. Wtf.

Caves should be equally dead on those.

What I want, but is probably too difficult to mod in, is portal on freighter

So you could teleport to stations from one

[zealous basin]

All you'd need for that is Bases+

Lets you place ground items on freighters and vice versa

[hearty wasp]

turning RemoveBasBuildingRestrictions works too, the mod just also makes the freighter parts remove terrain on planets properly

[bronze mantle]

Oh, that's a thing? Is it updated for Next?

[quartz cargo]

yea

[bronze mantle]

@hearty wasp does that also change maximum terrain deformation so you don't get the thing where bases fill in/stop terraforming?

[hearty wasp]

not sure if anything does

[bronze mantle]

Damn

[hearty wasp]

that could be a save loading issue imo

[bronze osprey]

Huh, the Nexus us down

[quartz cargo]

yeah =/

[hearty wasp]

like the base objects are made to clear out terrain directly under them, not in them

[quartz cargo]

i was trying to hunt for the right flight mod 😦

aand it went down

[hearty wasp]

there's still NMSmods

[quartz cargo]

im on it atm

[bronze osprey]

I'm currently using one that allows underwater+reverse+hover flight

[bronze mantle]

@hearty wasp the issue is, they stop clearing

There is a cap. It's dumb.

@bronze osprey which one?

[hearty wasp]

yeah, as I said, might be a save/load issue

[bronze mantle]

I'm using a package of QoL tweaks including flight changes, since Rayrod's was bugged before

[quartz cargo]

all i want is a flight mod that improves control, especially with boost. i dont mind the odd other feature

but thats all i care about rly

[bronze mantle]

And too sensitive so I kept flying into walls/not being able to hover

[bronze osprey]

MetaIdea's mod

I don't want to lose underwater flight so until Rayrod adds that, I'll wait

[quartz cargo]

rayrods is nice, i thought it was too sensitive as well, but i can lower the sensitivity via steam

so it works out

[bronze mantle]

I don't know who that is, Google gives nothing.

[quartz cargo]

but there are some things in his im not a fan of. im just testing a few to see what i like

[bronze mantle]

Just link the mod?

[bronze osprey]

Nexus

[quartz cargo]

nexus is down, i cant

[bronze mantle]

Oh right, dead nexus

[bronze osprey]

I'll see if it's on NMSMODS

[bronze mantle]

Mine is Fitz's QoL tweak pack... which googles just fine on nexus

[bronze osprey]

https://nomansskymods.com/mods/underwater-reverse-hover-flight-10x-pulse-speed-optional/

He posted it under a differnet name here

[bronze mantle]

Why does everyone buff pulsedrive speed but not regular old Shift key boost speed?

Shift boost is so minor on everything

[quartz cargo]

i dont like hover, reverse (in atmosphere), and the auto stop in rayrods makes it look buggy imo

'boost speed (shift) is so slow

[bronze osprey]

Hover is very useful when attacking walkers

[bronze mantle]

I would like overhauled exocraft handling too

Hover is essential for me.

[quartz cargo]

i can deal with hover, i just like the slow mvoe speed requiring you to circle

[bronze osprey]

Underwater is great though

[quartz cargo]

idk why

[bronze mantle]

Eh. Using ship guns on land is insanely annoying without hovering

[hearty wasp]

nah m8, Mjjstral is how we refer him as normally

he posts in Nexus with an alt name lol

[bronze osprey]

MetaIdea 😛

Yeah it's where I mainly go

[bronze mantle]

So does Bases+ make your freighter a teleport location as well

Or does that screw up because freighters have dynamic placement?

[bronze osprey]

https://nomansskymods.com/mods/jetpack-overhaul/

I find this to also be a brilliant mod

[bronze mantle]

Oh right, that

[bronze osprey]

Jetpacking is super fun with this, actually feels like a jetpack 😛

[quartz cargo]

yeah its a lot of fun

[hearty wasp]

well it just lets you build things anywhere

doesn't mean everything will work

[bronze osprey]

I'm yet to try the more base interactions mod, looks pretty good

[bronze mantle]

@hearty wasp that's the question, what breaks

[hearty wasp]

well, pretty much everything that gets unlocked?

it's not the mod's problem, tho

[bronze mantle]

If it pollutes my tp list with a teleport that spawns me in empty space without a ship, I may skip it, as much as I want a warp base freighter

I don't really want literally everything everywhere like fleetcomm on ground

[quartz cargo]

it very well may do that

[bronze mantle]

I only wanted a way to get to stations from my cruiser.

[hearty wasp]

mmm, actually, the base teleport location is based on the base computers, right

so in theory it shouldn't do that

[bronze mantle]

Well...

[hearty wasp]

but hey, just backup your saves and test it yourself

and report the results to us

[bronze mantle]

If it doesn't let me tp TO the freighter

[hearty wasp]

populate our knowledge

[bronze mantle]

Only FROM the freighter

That is in line with what I want too

[hearty wasp]

yes, that's what I mean

[bronze mantle]

Because I can summon it anywhere, but I can't get a free jumpgate from ship anywhere.

See, I just hate the lag when I land on planets using toaster PC.

[quiet plover]

is there any way to merge to mods together?

[bronze osprey]

I'm actually in the process of finding out myself

[hearty wasp]

Yes

[bronze osprey]

Perhaps you could share how?

[hearty wasp]

You open the exml, you open the other exml, you check their discrepancies with the vanilla file, you isolate the discrepancies, you put one discrepancy into the appropriate part of the other exml, compile

It's just like FO4 or Witcher 3 modding, just more text copying

[bronze osprey]

I thought as much, I guess I just need to know how to unpack/repack mods

[hearty wasp]

I really don't know what's there that people wouldn't understand jist by comparing the files, it's just basic exml

But then I dabbled with html for an minimal amount before that soooooo

[bronze osprey]

I guess people thought it would be more complicated than comparing/swapping text 😛

[hearty wasp]

Well people thought wrong

Don't think of shit you have reasonable doubt about folks

[thin viper]

what if i have a doubt whether the earth is a torus?

[hearty wasp]

Well, fund a space trip and see it for yourself, of course

That's what Jay Z was doing right?

[thin viper]

sure, let me start a gofundme

[hearty wasp]

Now that's the spirit

[thin viper]

i am sure flat earthers will fund it

[bronze mantle]

Huh. Seems like Bases+ does actually work exactly how I wanted...

You can place a teleporter there, which will lead TO stations but not FROM them

so no weird bug teleporting you into the ether to die from cosmic rays

[hearty wasp]

Tbh you could just turn an ingame setting that's not visible in the game to true and you'd achieve the same effect

[bronze mantle]

In what file?

[hearty wasp]

Graphics settings

You can also make mouse clicks faster with that file

[bronze osprey]

Okay I'm struggling to actually find tools that get me to editing exml files

I get to PSARC, after decompiling the MBIN files (unpacked mod)

[bronze mantle]

I wonder why so much stuff is in the graphics options

[hearty wasp]

Go to the modding wiki there're names you can search for

Cos it's a fuckin dope file

[late quartz]

Loving the small but affects the whole game kind of mod, like slightly speeding up the mining speed and the analysing speed. Makes the game far more enjoyable

[elder jacinth]

If you want something fun play with the unlimited upgrades mod

If you want a death beam....make it!

[golden cape]

is there any way to get rid of chat profanity filter?

this shitty piece of junk censors "polak" for some reason

[hearty wasp]

nop, we looked into it, it's controled by a dll

unless you can crack into it, no cigar

I wish I can speak "got" freely too, but we can't always have what we want

[golden cape]

well fuck the devs then for using a broken profanity filter

especially since you can't even get around it by randomly placing dots or other signs

it still censors

the only thing that worked for me to convey what i want to say when profanity filter gets retarded is to type the word i want to say in upper case and just put a lower-case letter every second letter

but that's painful to read

[empty birch]

Hello?

[hearty wasp]

goodbye

[pallid tartan]

@dreamy tulip is there anything in the files that could be community event rewards?

[noble iron]

There's a couple unused emotes that could be a reward for an event

[hearty wasp]

or you can just get a mod and use em immediately

[tulip abyss]

hi, i tried to use the mod 'fewer storms' https://nomansskymods.com/mods/infrequent-storms/ but it does not seem to work. I just have to copy the mod .pak file to GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\MODS , right ?

[hearty wasp]

did you delet the text file in PCBANKS

[tulip abyss]

let me check that

ah DISABLEMODS.TXT :) ok thanks

[normal summit]

Is there a mod that makes stuff for cryo pumps buyable again

[hearty wasp]

not one that I've heard of

[noble iron]

There's an economy mod but I haven't done a lot of testing with it

@normal summit This might be what you're looking for
https://nomansskymods.com/mods/trade-and-economy-mod-next/

[drifting vine]

what is the file related to the Freighter event?

[peak pilot]

I dont suppose there is a mod that increases the frequency music plays?

[quartz cargo]

@golden cape there is a no cencorship mod. i havent tested if it works though.

[noble iron]

@drifting vine I believe its in GCAISPACESHIPGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN

[thorny nymph]

anyone know what that one mod is that disables the annoying voice that tells you useless things?

[noble iron]

@thorny nymph Here's a recent one
https://nomansskymods.com/mods/quiet-please/

[thorny nymph]

thanks!

[drifting vine]

@noble iron yeah, but weirdly, I can't find anything related to the bay doors closing at the event, even though I found the lines that change the color to red

[dapper crystal]

So is it possible to make a mod that allows walls/floors etc to snap to landing pads? and maybe allow things to be build under them? like support struts etc

[dreamy tulip]

Just improved the clouds, so that they no longer stretch into space

[wicked bobcat]

If I wanted to look into modding later, will it mess up my saves? Also, will I still be able to play with friends?

[steel crypt]

Mods, from what we can tell, are client sided. Meaning the mod only affects you. For example, if you have a spaceship mod that makes your ship go faster, you will go faster and your friend. will see you go faster. If you have a terrain mod that changes the ground level, you will see the modded terrain but your friend will just see you walking in air or under the planet because the friend doesn't have the same terrrain. Tests are constantly happening to figure the situation out better though.
Some mods will change a save file, most won't. That is very mod specific.

[wicked bobcat]

So are some mods not allowed by the developers? Or do they not really care?

I'm not really interested in anything that changes too much of the base game, but I know some developers are really against mods that do much more than change colors

[dreamy tulip]

With No Man's Sky, unnoficial mods are supported by the developers. Sean mentioned pre-release that they wanted mods to be a thing (simillar to Minecraft). At times, they've done support for people having issues with mods (via Steam), and they created a tutorial (advising people on how to install them) within a text document that comes with each PC NMS installation. They have also retweeted and have liked modded fan work, and it was even in WT data at one point. Including, on NEXT (it was as if intentional things have been done to their code to make modding more convenient. Especially, by naming what were previously unknown functions... which would take a lot of time to do.

[dreamy tulip]

Here is a comparison of my improved clouds:

[dreamy tulip]

Before:

After:

[quartz cargo]

is it possible to make a mod where enemy ships dont turn around as quickly during a fight?

like when they fly at you shooting, pass you, and the time it takes them to turn around

they do it so quickly, even with enhanced flight mods, its just space jousting. rly boring

[dreamy tulip]

Yeah, it's possible.

[toxic goblet]

something something advanced flight controls

[surreal ocean]

looks great @dreamy tulip

[gray tiger]

oh man, the overhaul looks incredibly stunning, how's the port to NEXT going so far?

[astral tiger]

Need that FA off turn XD

[sweet jetty]

Those clouds look amazing. So much nicer

[dreamy tulip]

@surreal ocean, @sweet jetty Thank you so much.

[wooden cobalt]

Any good mining speed mod and any good movement/sprinting speed mod

[dreamy tulip]

@wooden cobalt Hi. This should cover your sprinting request. :)

I extracted it from my updated fan project source, feel free to let me know if you'd like it tweaked any further.

@gray tiger Hey, it's coming along better than ever so far! :)
Cheers

[wooden cobalt]

Thanks man!!!

[dreamy tulip]

No problem!

[gray tiger]

Amazing, really excited to see more 😃

[late quartz]

can people with mods play online with others?

[gray tiger]

Yeah

If you don't have the same mods things just look different, but if you're using the same ones, it will appear the same

[late quartz]

i see

thanks

[zenith shoal]

@normal summit https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/93aaaw/how_to_bypass_the_cryopump_patch/

[normal summit]

OOOO

imma try this

thx man'

[dapper crystal]

@dreamy tulip jesus christ i need your damn clouds

I tried CCs improved clouds, which lowers the atmosphere level in order to take away the annoying as shit pixelated nonsense coursing through my freighter, but the clouds just look the same

the upper atmosphere cloud cover is just god awful

when will these clouds be active to download?

[dreamy tulip]

@dapper crystal That's awesome. Nice job on your cloud mod. So, you did similar I see for the cloud and atmosphere height, etc... ?
Because the mod that I made also is set to prevent clouds stretching into outerspace.

I extracted the file contents from my fan project source, that I am gradually building onto. I have a test file, but I need to verify that I am not missing anything before I upload shortly

That was really bugging me in vanilla

[dapper crystal]

No i didnt make the mod or anything, its a mod called CCs improved clouds i think. He tried to redo the clouds, and adjusted atmosphere height yes

the adjusted atmosphere height eliminates having to deal with the visible fog circle around your character, and the pixelated nonsense that is the vanilla upper atmosphere clouds

but the other clouds dont really look any different to me, but the mod claims it renders them differently but i just dont really see it

your clouds look so damn good though, i just hope theres a way to do that kind of detail for the upper atmosphere too eventually

[dreamy tulip]

Oh, fair enough. Would you like to test what I have? I need to make sure that all the components needed are in the standalone .pak file

And thanks!

[dapper crystal]

um sure, i wouldnt mind testing it

[dreamy tulip]

Awesome, I'll shoot ya a dm

[dreamy tulip]

20-20 Clouds - (Official NEXT Trailer Quality Clouds)

Downloadable Here: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/735

I spent the day making various adjustments to clouds through real-time hacking. There's no more blurry clouds or clouds stretching out into space. There are also various other quality of life improvements to the clouds and the environment (to make the game look more aesthetically pleasing) and more like the official No Man's Sky NEXT trailer clouds.

This mod is not compatible with other mods that change these files:

• PIPELINEDEFERRED.BIN
• CLOUDNEWFRAGMENT.SHADER.H.BIN
• GCENVIRONMENTGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN

In regard to performance, I have done a lot of testing to ensure the best quality and performance that I can provide. I have a high-end rig and have only noticed a drop of 1 frame. By all means... feel free to try it yourself! :)

This mod is a work in progress, and I may be further working on it. I also extracted this from my work in progress "NEXT Overhaul source" that will also be released as soon as it's fully ready under the name 'RaYRoD's Universe' on this page: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/497

If you happen to be waiting for the NEXT version of 'RaYRoD's Overhaul', feel free to check my Youtube or my Twitter for frequent updates! :)

[half aspen]

nice @dreamy tulip i assume those are way better than Better Clouds https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/665 , so time to test this 😁 {just when i though i got the mod set i use stabilized for today}

[dapper crystal]

they are awesome

[dreamy tulip]

Feel free to give it a try! :)
Any feedback is appreciated, and it's a work in progress.

[normal summit]

IT WORKED @zenith shoal

[half aspen]

awww it's colliding with changes in _removefiltersnextIAMM.pak (\PIPELINES\ ) https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/656

[dreamy tulip]

@half aspen I can merge it, if desired. 😛

[hexed quiver]

hellllooooo! i was wondering if anybody had any knowledge on using NMM with NMS? For some reason it seems to never want to recognize the path to the MODS folder v.v

[half aspen]

that would be neat @dreamy tulip ofcourse if you think you can make it better than just merges then i will not complain

[dreamy tulip]

There you go

@hexed quiver Hello. I personally do not use NMM with No Man's Sky because of that issue.

Installing mods is fairly simple, fortunately.

To just drag and drop the .pak file into the MODS folder

[hexed quiver]

Yeah, I'm just really bad at keeping things up to date lol

[dreamy tulip]

Maybe someone else here who uses the Nexus Mod Manager might have a solution for ya

[half aspen]

i'm oldschool, so i do it manual way and comparing the pak content etc.

[hexed quiver]

Maybe this is my calling to make some kind of updater specific to NMS - since I'm probably going to be spending quite a few days playing lol

[half aspen]

unfortunately i don't have any good tool for compare / combine merger of the mbin files afterward to avoid collisions (e.g. where different values are changed but in same files)

[hearty wasp]

get KDiff and mbincompiler

[half aspen]

if anyone remember Morrowind / Oblivion / Fallout / Skyrim modManager from http://timeslip.chorrol.com/

then that was one of best mod managers i seen for any moddable game, because it just wasn't covering container files collision but also the files inside

and ontop of that also was able analyze the content of scripts and configs plus load order and all related collisions inbetween all this

as result, when used properly you could figure out any issues with mods and create collision free content easily (or combine / fix what's needed)

don't ask me why it's still not industry standard in games whose support modding (i fight for it in our studio 10 years 😁 )

[tame hawk]

Wait, Dwarden? The Bohemia Interactive Dwarden? 😮

But I agree. We'd need some kind of launcher that compares modded files with original files and then creates the actual mod file from those

[half aspen]

cloaks and vanish in subtle atmospheric anomaly

but ye klepto just with Arma games it would be way harder to make such tools cause of all the various formats and more than one way to mod and multiple scripting languages etc.

but for the future titles time will tell

so @dreamy tulip as i expected the better clouds collides with yours, so your one goes in and that one goes out 😃

[dreamy tulip]

Shiny:

[tame hawk]

@half aspen The current a3 launcher works great when it comes to organizing mods and keeping track of dependencies! Big kudos to you guys for making my favourite series of all time, can't wait to know more about these 'future titles' 😛 and, sorry for fanboying

@dreamy tulip Looks sick! Do the collisions work properly on these? I remember the big things mod having some issues with that

[dreamy tulip]

Yep

I repaired/finished all unused model assets by HelloGames

All assets in my upcoming fan project update for NEXT will have proper colissions and relevant mining healths in relation to their size

And no blurriness

[tame hawk]

that sounds amazing 👍

[half aspen]

ye @tame hawk but those are very limited, any collisions (similar like NMS has) just gets way worse (because of the various configs+binarized vs not then scripting and classes overrides)

trying get your @dreamy tulip clouds to work but for some reason, all i get are the old pixelated ones, no matter on settings hmm

no other modes, all caches wiped out , going to max the reflection / shadows quality settings but then i'm out of ideas ...

[dreamy tulip]

Snapshot of your mods folder? @half aspen ?

oh

nvm

You said no other mods

Do you have "disablemods".txt there?

In your PCBANKS folder

[half aspen]

no, renamed it to _DISABLEMODS.TXT

and obviously the other mods works 😉 (when used before)

[dreamy tulip]

Okay, seems like it's not loading for you. Does this occur w/o that compatibility patch that I made?

Perhaps I messed up the patch

@half aspen

[tame hawk]

@half aspen I see. One of my mods overrides a lot of vanilla classes and I got reports of the antistasi mod/mission not working with it, which is impossible for me to fix, because of how they did some things. It may not always be perfect for the end-user piling up mods in his launcher, but all the possibilities are great for modding the game in general. It's hard to make complex systems that have both, flexibility and usability 😄

But who am I to tell you, you are the wizard here

[half aspen]

ye our Wizard did quite good job with the Launcher considering the limited time/resources and compromises needed to made

[dreamy tulip]

1.1 - Added a new 'Performance Version' (For low/mid end rigs).
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/735

[half aspen]

can't wait to get the polished model assets mod, any early access download ?

[half aspen]

hmm so i tried everything, remove all mods, reset all settings (erase all .xml settings files) erase all caches, start new game not save and the clouds still look badly pixelated

[median heath]

Are there any mods that automatically backs up saves?

[lime mesa]

Quick question.

Probably dumb.

My friend was concerned about getting vac banned on Steam for using mods or the save editor with NEXT

Is this the case now? Considering there's multiplayer?

And it's SLIGHTLY competitive?

[rigid dagger]

the game doesn't have VAC implemented so using mods and save editor won't get you banned

also it more on the coop side of multiplayer than competitive

[bronze mantle]

@dreamy tulip Say, do you need to delete the shader cache to install the new clouds mod? I want nicer clouds, but I don't want to spend the next hour waiting for my potato to rebuild them all...

@lime mesa Doesn't matter unless you grief people on purpose. :v

[ashen brook]

Question about modding for race track purposes. Can you make a flying race track? Is that possible? Are there speed boosts and items that can rapidly change your flight direction like bumpers?

[bronze mantle]

That sounds difficult

[ashen brook]

I'm going of designing a Push Forward Rapid Race Track for No Mans Sky

[bronze mantle]

But someone mentioned ship races being a future feature anyway

[ashen brook]

thinking*

I love space flight and want to make a track that rips you through the track without needing to be a good pilot while still feeling epic af

Only thing I can think of that does that is trackmania

So.... Trackmania No Mans Sky

This is a push forward map I want to see possible in NMS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uK7Y7zyP_SY

[bronze mantle]

So, there's a JSON entry for ships and multitools

The value is "IsCool"

and it's set to false

burn

[ashen brook]

Always false?

[bronze mantle]

Far as I know yes

[bronze osprey]

Do you think something like having free aiming of your ship guns is possible? Like using the right stick to move a freecam and aim where ever you want(or at least a certain radius), as opposed to your ships orientation? @dreamy tulip @hearty wasp @thin viper

[bronze mantle]

probably not without a metric ton of work

[ashen brook]

Basically would need to turn your mining vehicle into a space ship

[bronze osprey]

😦

[lime mesa]

Thanks for the heads up, guys. Just good to know.

[bronze osprey]

Space combat just isn't much fun the way it is

[ashen brook]

I've seen what Rayrod can do....So I wouldn't doubt it's possible

[bronze mantle]

Huh, this is fun, json editing lets you rearrange your ships

[ashen brook]

Can you change its appearance?

[bronze mantle]

doing it now to resurrect my horizon omega

don't need the raw json for that heh

[ashen brook]

Just change the seed to the omega.

[bronze mantle]

indeed

but the problem was, my ships are out of order

so I simply... decided to fix them

[thin viper]

wait the save editor allows people to customize ship parts?

since when?

[lime mesa]

Since...Ever?

[thin viper]

it only allows you to change ship seeds

it doesnt allow you to swap a wing in your ship with another wing type or something?

does it?

[bronze mantle]

nope

gotta find the seed.

[lime mesa]

guys

what colour system will most likely have one of those super grassy planets with walking sentinels running around

havent found one of those yet

saw one in a guys stream once tho

oops wrong chat my bad

[ashen brook]

In the game can you mod your ship maneuverability?

If I want to make my hauler not handle like a fridge, can I buy stuff to fix that?

[hearty wasp]

there might be properties in the spaceship global file that deals with that but I haven't looked at that forever

[ashen brook]

Original NMS screenies on plans for the ships said wings effect maneuverability.

[bronze mantle]

Uh, not sure about specific ship classes. Many mods change base handling.

[ashen brook]

Would imply you could at least improve maneuverability using a hauler with wings.

[robust lagoon]

Is it possible to adjust the size of the reticle for locking onto targets with your ship?

Not the UI itself, the actual “hitbox” of the lock on

[bronze mantle]

If anyone discovers a way to introduce true 6DoF flight into this, please mod it in, and add a version with inertia that lets you thrust in one direction and spin freely while moving... so you can drift starships.

[toxic goblet]

Just hotas support

[bronze mantle]

Would be nice if I had one :v

But mostly, I want to be able to drift in a starship. And an exocraft. So I can meme.

[hearty wasp]

Not possible

[bronze mantle]

A shame. Although being able to maneuver a ship pointing toward the ground is neat.

[bronze mantle]

This is weird... lo2k's HD clouds mod isn't as crisp/clean looking, but it doesn't drop my FPS into the ground. In fact, there's almost no impact in 2k. Rayrod's clouds on performance mode halve my framerate... on the ground.

[storm bronze]

Anybody got a mod that increases creature spawns? Getting tired of running around a planet where a single type of fauna never appears

[bronze mantle]

Nexus does

[storm bronze]

Link? Cause I couldn't find one

[bronze mantle]

Oh

They don't simply increase spawns

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/724 It totally overhauls fauna.

[storm bronze]

Yeah that is too much, I just need fauna that is suppose to appear to actually appear

Shouldn't take 2 hours to just find a single creature you're missing, that is terrible game design

Might just make the mod myself

[hearty wasp]

yeah start modding yourself! do et

[cerulean sluice]

i have a few mods from nexus but none seem to work 🤔

[hearty wasp]

probably didn't delete the txt in PCBANKS

[cerulean sluice]

ha i did

and checked

[warm thistle]

Made sure they were updated for NEXT? @cerulean sluice

[cerulean sluice]

ofc

great ive found the way to make it work 😄

now everything is good

[stone bison]

Guys, can someone send me invite on NMS Modding channel, can't find it myself

[storm bronze]

I made the mod work, but it somehow added another fauna type to the planet I was on, it was 5 total before the mod and 6 after

Removing the mod made it go back to 5 🤔

Not sure what I changed to cause that, but the creatures were definitely more common.

[bronze mantle]

@stone bison found it, ctrl f "modding discord"

[fleet musk]

It's on the pinned messages as well

[warped cairn]

I feel dumb for this, but what stacking is this mod even referring to? https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/706?tab=description

[bronze mantle]

The synergy from adjacent upgrades, which is normally capped at 3 now

[warped cairn]

Oh, okay, thank you

I think last I played it, in October, that wasn't the case. Good to know.

If I could have your opinion, do you think the 3-cap is a good/balanced thing?

[hearty wasp]

yeah, encourages variety and closes the skill/grind gap between new and old players

[warped cairn]

Okay, cool. I like not needing to mod something. Thanks.

I'm really used to Skyrim where the goal is to mod out as much of vanilla Skyrim's massive failings as possible.

[hearty wasp]

people not having dicks is such a fail

[warped cairn]

Tragic, truly.

And no graphic sex animations? Absolute faux pas.

If anyone is willing to give further opinions, do these tweaks seem needed? https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/661?tab=description

[wicked bobcat]

I get why people like faster pulse, but I don't like it because that's when I go to the bathroom or get a snack

[warped cairn]

haha

making use of the time

[wicked bobcat]

I do love the other starship changes tho, as well as the scanning speed.

You might have just given me my first mod to try

[bronze mantle]

Fitz's pack is quite nice

it's very balanced, not cheaty

that said I'm using Meki's flight mod and a different exocraft mod - Meki makes it possible to ram into the ground and fly under it, which is a bit silly, but the positives when it works are great

and SSOOR for me (Spaceship out of range+scanner buffs mod), set to 3 second scan and 500u spaceship teleport

[hearty wasp]

I just want my mod to get updated

[bronze mantle]

what mod?

[warped cairn]

Glad I could end up bringing a good mod to light

[hearty wasp]

the mod with the broke dick piece of shit drill

[bronze mantle]

???

[hearty wasp]

THE MOD WITH THE BROKE DICK PIECE OF SHIT DRILL

[warped cairn]

Well then

[hearty wasp]

people who used it probably still hates me

[warped cairn]

So it's a mod you made, then, gotcha.

[hearty wasp]

ahh, found the shitting screenshot of it

the upside down disco was my fav

[warped cairn]

whoa

[hearty wasp]

it was pretty good... until people started telling me what to not make

and then I made everyone's game crash by making what I wanna make, got 'em

[bronze mantle]

link to mod, I don't even know what it does from this description

[dapper crystal]

does anyone here have any idea why base objects only load up when you are super close to them

like doors, ladders, accessories, windows, etc

and is there a way to adjust that

id like to be able to see every part of my bases from a decent distance away lol

[sterile fox]

Do mods disable multiplayer?

[quartz cargo]

no

[sterile fox]

woo

[half aspen]

so https://nomansskymods.com/mods/economy-mod-10x-stack/ _EconomyMod10xStackNEXT.pak is crashing with new 8.8. experimental branch ...

[elder jacinth]

why you need x10 bruh

[half aspen]

i actually wanted it for the economy and trade part, there wasn't lower count for the stack sizes

ic, i got it from the NMSmods site not nexusmods just before they forced that you must be logged in to download anything 🤣

[half aspen]

so, even the original https://nomansskymods.com/mods/trade-and-economy-mod-next/ (both files) are crashing with new experimental

[bronze mantle]

That makes perfect sense, because Experimental changed globals.

[half aspen]

well so far it seems to be only crashing mod for me, so just wrote it here in case someone else run into similar issue to save theirs time

[storm bronze]

You guys should check out this mod, just tried it and it's a serious quality of life upgrade to the game https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/742

Makes fauna easier to find

[hearty wasp]

does it just bump up the spawn rate

[storm bronze]

Idk what it does directly, but it took me 5 minutes to find all the fauna, and it is everywhere.

So seems to affect spawn rate, and how common the different types are

The descriptions still say common, uncommon and rare though 🤔

[hearty wasp]

descriptions are just texts

spawn rate is the numbers that actually matter

so all three can have the same spawn rate

[storm bronze]

Would a mod like that get fucked if I went on the experimental build? I assume you know a bit about that.

[hearty wasp]

I don't remember which globals got changed in the exp

I don't deal with globals often enough to care about it, frankly

[storm bronze]

What sort of mods do you make? Any you recommend I add to my game? 😄

[hearty wasp]

I mean, none of em are updated, so you can't use em anyway?

[storm bronze]

Oh, ouch

[hearty wasp]

it's tough shit updating few hundred files

and it's worse when you're not rayrod

and it's worse when you have a time-consuming job

[storm bronze]

Yeah, I can see that being hard to balance, also not really worth it with how much the game is getting updated

Might as well wait till they are done with the constant patching

[hearty wasp]

it's not hard to balance, it's just... tough to copy and paste shit a thousand times?

like I physically cannot update it fast enough if I tried

[lethal solstice]

New mod release from me !
Name : DS96_GalacticMap2
What it does : slows down the galactic camera globally, life chance and abandonned life chances has been raised up a little bit, more asteroid per solar systems, normal solar system size shrinked to 250.000u (two-hundred thousands U), asteroids will now spawn closer to space stations, planets and other mysterious things, asteroids have more hitpoints (they are harder to destroy), large asteroids will now appear bigger, there is less space between asteroids, minimum water height lowered, maximum water height increased, improvements on multiplayer (faster sync, longer timeouts, etc.), freighters radius decreased (their range).
No screenshots available.

Patch upcoming soon...

[dreamy tulip]

There's no more blur or shimmering, they are a higher quality, they are slowed down (but not too slow, you can see them subtly move). I looked outside my house yesterday, and saw the clouds moving to get a good perspective of what value to change it too.
It should be less taxing. They are less opaque, less sharp, no visible banding afaik, and they look closer to the trailer.

Will soon do a before and after comparison (and I will be uploading the newer/improved clouds soon)

@half aspen, @bronze mantle. Hopefully, this will be the version that works out nicely for you both. 😃

[lethal solstice]

@dreamy tulip You can see the atmosphere outline through asteroids, could you fix it ?

[celest tapir]

god

[sly trench]

lol

[quartz cargo]

you can see the outline through everything,. including ships. it's really annoying

[sly trench]

something hg will have to fix

[lethal solstice]

i can give it a try

[quartz cargo]

if i wanted to edit storm temperatures/radiation,, what file might that be in?

been digging through some, cant seem to find it

[lethal solstice]

@quartz cargo NMS Modding Station\Unpacked Game Files\METADATA\SIMULATION\SOLARSYSTEM\WEATHER

[quartz cargo]

thanks, ill take a look there

[lethal solstice]

If you need help I'm here, yo ucan send me a DM. I'll happily help you.

[half aspen]

@dreamy tulip ok, just ping me when it's out 🔭

[real barn]

Are there any mods to change the planet palettes ?

I can't stand red/orange planets anymore

I just can't

[cursive root]

there's one on nomansskymods

but its not working for me somehow

[languid raptor]

Why has nobody made a mode that turns the bodies of Walker sentinels into Thomas the Tank Engine?

[lethal solstice]

Trolling purpose

[languid raptor]

If we can do it with Skyrim’s dragons we should do it with the walkers

[lethal solstice]

Omfg no pls no

[languid raptor]

It’s only a matter of time before someone does it

[lethal solstice]

Lol

[languid raptor]

Or better yet, make every sentinel drone a floating Sean Murray head

Tap that hater market

[cyan oracle]

ok.. a mod that prevents a player from taking damage from their own plasma grenades.. I've just died twice in the last 30 min cause a touchy right mouse button

[languid raptor]

U mean a mod that autoswitches to the combat scope every time u enter/exit a structure?

I’ve nailed myself twice while attempting to activate my signal booster

[cyan oracle]

3rd time.. omfg.. twice just trying to summon my ship..

[languid raptor]

Place signal booster, exit build menu, right click an extra time, get rekt

[cyan oracle]

plasma grenade should not deal damage to yourself, especially if we have to right click to exit menus

[languid raptor]

How about a mod that autoswitches off of plasma launcher when u access any of the quick menus

[drowsy lagoon]

do you use grenades?

[cyan oracle]

would that actually work cause technically it's already disabled.. you have to exit the menus w/ right click before the secondary weapon's right click will register

[half aspen]

@real barn yes there are pallete mods (you can use first 2 at once)
https://nomansskymods.com/mods/next-expanded-color-palettes/
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/707
note: lucid lush collides with Colourful planet rings https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/720

[languid raptor]

Thus u won’t noobtube ur self when rapidly exiting quick menus

[cyan oracle]

lol noobtube..

and yes NoKuDoi.. it's my most commonly used secondary

[drowsy lagoon]

never used...have the upgrade

[cyan oracle]

oi.. gunna try this again.. hopefully no 4th time..

[languid raptor]

I’ve made it a habit of switching immediately to combat scope when I’m done blowing up a reinforced door, and I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve accidentally triggered the combat scope. I shudder to think what would have happened if I hadn’t made a habit of it.

[half aspen]

any mod yet adding randomized walkers ? (3,5-16 legs ?)

[drowsy lagoon]

i prefer scater blaster

[languid raptor]

I’d be in double digit self detonations by now probably

[cyan oracle]

so I switched secondary weaponds.. only other one I have atm is the geo grenade.. even that kills me.. 😦 smh@HG

and that one's supposed to excavate.. not damage..

[languid raptor]

I removed my geo blaster, I never really used it, and by removing it I cut my chances of accidental self-excavation by 100%

[cyan oracle]

lol

self-excavation..

[languid raptor]

So what kind of mods have u made @cyan oracle

[wooden cobalt]

Can the geoblaster collect ore from things like copper?

[cyan oracle]

was starting on reviving growmoar, but with all this talk of farming changing.. I think I'm gunna hold off on that.. reviving CrashSiteFinder with a bit of homage to the original CrashSiteFinder back in NMS Release and Foundation.. Adding more beacons to that and it'll be ready to release once I can confirm it works for Fourth Race Grave markers..

my favorite is drive by light tho.. spotlight fixed in the mining/cannon turret..

oh, and also revived MorExotics and CSS (with a new flavor for NEXT).. amazing how many people voice against cheaty mods, but they're the most popular downloads.. xD

and now I'm about to start a mod to fix the engine trails on the Exotic VTOL engines... this is Vanilla..

and I've got a bunch more on the todo list.. like revive the oblivion sentinel drone that rayrod had in his overhaul.. and hopefully some of my Lore ships from the MorShips mod.. or as best as possible with only vanilla asset access..

that was easy enough..

[dreamy tulip]

Nice, @cyan oracle

Yeah, we should update it

Still working on the clouds on my end

(That gif was bugging me with the compression)

So...

[lethal solstice]

Good work @dreamy tulip

[dreamy tulip]

Thanks:)

[drowsy lagoon]

any mod to put the spaceship gamepad controls on the exocraft?

[lethal solstice]

U see Ray, Im not so evil.

I try to do my best thats it...

[astral tiger]

Can't you remap the controls >.>

[dreamy tulip]

20-20 Clouds - NEXT Trailer Style Clouds - v1.2:

Changelog:

• No more shimmering
• No more banding
• More painterly/original style, less opaque
• Improved blending
• Less taxing
• Improved cloud placements
• No longer stretching into outer space
• Other small improvements

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/735

[half aspen]

now what's the exact problem with the fast cloud shadows, is that hardcoded ?

[dreamy tulip]

You can remove that with Lo2k's mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/703

Cloud shadows in nms atm are like really wonky

[half aspen]

hmm interesting, so obviously at NexusMods author can block you off access to his mods , if you just ask some questions or report bugs in his content

[cursive root]

lol really

[half aspen]

yep, Redmas just did it, funny cause i was about to report some bugs on the Alien Worlds 4Next 1.1 to discover that i can't

guess that means i cease to bother with giving feedback to mods on nexusmods alltogether

[timber lark]

I hate how nexusmods is put together

I prefer a forum with mediafire links, its so much better

👌

[bronze mantle]

Has anyone attempted to put a base terminal on their freighter and test if it actually moves the coordinates when they jump systems?

Probably not

[hearty wasp]

I, for one, would never block anyone

I'd just make my mod worse if I get too many stupid questions

Also I'm not surprised redmas did that for some reason 🤔 🤔 🤔

But heeyyyy noooo dramaaa

[bronze mantle]

...eh, no, it won't. Not if hg doesn't even fix the teleport for removed bases bug

[hearty wasp]

Of course it won't, the coords aren't dependant on the object's current positions

It's set when the thing is put down and saved directly to the teleportendpoints list

[bronze mantle]

Yeah, that's a pain in the rear

But

[hearty wasp]

Different than the placement of the base object, which is in persistantbases list

[bronze mantle]

It WOULD be a good way of finding out whether freighter interiors are a separate 'cell' or literally in the correct space relative to planets etc

[hearty wasp]

It's relaticlve to the freighter

[bronze mantle]

If the freighter entry gate sneakily 'teleports' you to a different space, which is constant, then the base terminal would be a consistent tp location

if not, then you get teleported into space and die

[hearty wasp]

Which is relative to the center of the system aka space station

[bronze mantle]

Wait, so... @WinderTP#7241 if I were to, say, get a mod that makes the Exocraft deployment range ~4000u from an exocraft pad (for reference, calling freighter places it 3300u above the surface of a world), and I used the base setting to place exobays in my freighter...

Would it, in theory, allow me to airdrop my exocraft at any point simply by summoning my freighter?

[hearty wasp]

Maybe? Idk

[bronze mantle]

If the 'interior of my freighter' (which is larger on the inside than the outside - land in a Star Destroyer and you still go 'upstairs') is actually 3300u above the planet, then yes

if it's not, and exists in a space pocket of some sort, then I don't get my craft

[hearty wasp]

I mean, you can test it

Would be interesting to see, tbh

[bronze mantle]

Yeah

fitz's throwing the distance buff into his mod on request

so I get to test that kek

[spring minnow]

My PC has fans and kinda boils up my room temp. If i had liquid cooling or something else/similar? will that also help with the overall room temp? xD

[bronze mantle]

this is #nms-modding

you may want #472099196443557899

[spring minnow]

Well, its basically because of modding that heats it up so much i think xD
