earnest frost
are they all the same or do they coincide with the randomness of new planets?
thin viper
Hmmm well they are compatible with each other
Each mod affects different parts of planets
thin viper
Well as random as game allows
earnest frost
thats pretty random
thin viper
Well if it's variety you ask,my mods take care of it
earnest frost
idk if you would be able to walk me through downloading them would you? im knew to no mans sky modding
and tired hence the lack of being able to spell
thin viper
Hmm hang on
earnest frost
ok
thin viper
Also for space there is a mod called space dream
That takes care of all space related stuff
Yeah
In the PCBAnKS folder
You need to create a MODS folder
And also delete a file called disable mods.txt
earnest frost
i just got a message that someone was trying to hack my banking stuff lol is nms website safe?
earnest frost
i havent gotten any yet
i was on nms mod website looking at an inventory mod then it redirected me sayin that lol
earnest frost
are redirects something to worry about?
thin viper
If you use ad blockers
Use ad blockers
But nearly every mod has a text file
That details instructions as of how to install it
It will show how to install the mods
earnest frost
i hope i didnt get a virus from that lol
earnest frost
how do i Unzip the zip file
thin viper
Use winrar
earnest frost
im downloading mods off nexus
thin viper
Ok
earnest frost
so im nexus, am i able to copy the file location and extract from 7 zip to said file? so in this case it would be C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS
hearty wasp
open fucking road
and railings
make a new folder named MODS and shove paks into it
earnest frost
then mods of course
thin viper
@earnest frost it needs to be in a folder called MODS in the path you installed
hearty wasp
ain't there like tuts on Nexus or NMSmods lmao
thin viper
Well they can't seem to understand that
hearty wasp
well many people don't seem to understand that mods do in fact work in multiplayer so nothing surprises me
earnest frost
imo its easier to talk to people about it, but whatevs ill fuck off
earnest frost
they dont have a tut for copy pasting 7 zip files directly to the folder path
hearty wasp
yeah man we don't get triggered by questions anymore
earnest frost
k
earnest frost
i did
hearty wasp
don't Vortex auto unzip btw?
thin viper
Or yeah use the Nexus mod manager
earnest frost
and idk, never downloaded mods for nms
hearty wasp
that's how I assumed Vortex makes installation work for NMS
earnest frost
i had to manually do it from nexus
earnest frost
no todays the first time iv used nexus, i used it for fo4 and thats it
hearty wasp
then yeah if you want to use Vortex you probably would want to download and install Vortex first
earnest frost
i downloaded it
whats the diff from nmm and vortex?
ok so how exactly do i unzip using this?
earnest frost
got ya
nms isnt popping up in the supported tab, ill run the games discovery thing
hearty wasp
but if you got it installed you can either just clock the button that says Vortex and it'll probably start downloading
earnest frost
ok so its giving me a folder location to put it in, do i just use C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\mods?
or make a new folder
hearty wasp
that'll work
earnest frost
ok
no mans sky isnt even supported it says or at least its not showing up in the list
thin viper
Yeah
Just drag and drop is better
Just create the folder,delete the disable mods.txt file
And then put the mod files in the foldrr
lime mesa
I don't think I have the old version in my mods folder
@thin viper Does the tree addon contain the mod too? Because that's the only other version of the mod that I would think could possibly be interfering with it.
I guess is does, because tht fixed everything
it fixed
a fun mod
thin viper
Oh nice
I actually updated the addon a few hours ago
So maybe if you want the latest version
Download it

yeah, I just clear all the files from my mods folder and got them back using that link

my only question is: what

thin viper
Yeah
lime mesa
just one more suggestion: can you please make snowy planet white, not blue
lime mesa
ok thanks
ionic mulch
@thin viper I'm using your asset pack now (had issues with the colors mod), but am thinking about going with the Diverse Environments mod. Does this still add multiple types of biomes per planet, and are they fully random or procedural based on planet type?
Based on the description, it sounds like Abyss underwater content might not be available. Is this the case?
In general, which of your mods are compatible with each other, and what are their multiplayer implications? (Might be good info to add to the Nexus pages.)
thin viper
@ionic mulch all my mods work perfectly with visison or 1.77 latest version of game
So imy suggestion is use these
Diverse environments+ the custom asset addon
ionic mulch
Ahh, but I mean, which are compatible with each other?
thin viper
The colors mod won't be compatible with the mod now.but rest work
ionic mulch
Ok. I'd want to use a new file for that is sounds like, or one where I don't care about planetary bases getting destroyed
thin viper
Yeah using a new save file is best
ionic mulch
Thanks. For multiplayer, would you recommend that every player has Diverse Environments installed? (1-4 player co-op)
thin viper
Yeah
ionic mulch
Great! I will install it tonight and start testing
thin viper
Planets will be same for players who don't have the mod.jist different biomes if they don't use the mod
Have fun
ionic mulch
Hmm, what do you mean? The terrain and elevation will be the same, but not Flora/fauna/minerals?
ionic mulch
That might end up being the case. It also sounds like bases might not be wiped when this is installed, they'd just suddenly be in different biomes? I could test this out with a save I don't care about.
ionic mulch
Also, is this interpretation of how biomes will work correct?
- Planets will have multiple biomes in different areas
- Biomes will make sense for the type of planet (desert, toxic, hyperborean, etc)
- Underwater biomes will not be affected
thin viper
I don't know if it will have multibiome stuff
That stuff is not possible
Underwater is unaffected yes
ionic mulch
Oh! I don't know how I got that from the description, then. I think it was the example of a planet having both forests and grassy plains.
ionic mulch
Right, like there won't be frozen polar areas or anything. Ok.
(HG should add that...)
ionic mulch
Alright, and so the planets mostly fit the same theme as before, but with greater variation between specific planets with the same vanilla biome?
thin viper
Anyways I gotta go now . Ping me if you have any issues. I will get back to it later
ionic mulch
Or completely different?
thin viper
Complete different
ionic mulch
Ok, thanks for the info!
thin viper
But you can come across vanilla biomes too

also ppl who like the gek species remind me of people who defend NMS. "the gek are actually good now"
in all seriousness I haven't heard from ray in a bit so I don't know what he's up to. I'm neutral on him
Posting phone wallpapers on the subreddit.
he's doing that?

nah because irishfolk is ray reynolds

I won't deny the likeliness
but I'm pretty sure this isn't a scooby doo episode (they talk different on social media).
Next time HG retweets take a look in the comments.
Everyone tagging in RayRod too.
doesn't he use rayrod's mods though
isn't that why
I mean I could be very wrong.
But I'm pretty sure I'm not.
Not as far as I know
I think he did at one time at least so that may be why people tag ray
I mean... the modder ray
this is confusing to word
thin viper
Whaaat
No
Rayreynolds is not the other guy
The reyreynolds guy plays on ps4
How can he use mods on. PS4

Hello modders. I have a mod idea. Farm in sssspaaaceee
Each planet have diffetent plant matters, depending on some factors, maybe part of planet coord, portal coord, or features. Plant matter can be researched and then cultivated as a plant
Plant could bear lucrative sustance, poisonous, or even hatch to aliens. Well, that is all I have for now.

Using NMS Save Editor you can acquire the item.
lime mesa
Do you make mods?
median wasp
I do.
And I have them put into a github repo
https://github.com/XanTheDragon/Xan-s-NMS-Mods/blob/master/ExaniteInfusedLushWorlds/CLICK-ME--INFORMATION.MD for the one mod I have there, which is for 1.6
I gotta upgrade it.
hearty wasp
You can do it via save editor for that too actually
Afaik customisations are saved as their decriptor IDs so you can do that
But Getting Head just let you do it with a few clicks in game cos why do it the hard way
But with save editing you might be able to get a Vykeen Head on a Gek
Or vice versa but I haven't tried
median wasp
It does work @hearty wasp, I've messed around with it before.
hearty wasp
^there you go then lol
median wasp
Namely, my goal was to get the gek body size with an anomaly helmet.
hearty wasp
You ever seen how the save store all the Vykeen head pieces? Since there's like 3 parts I wonder if you can have a Gek head and a Vykeen eyes
True abomination would be sweet

Hey all, I'm using the Diverse Environments mod and I'm wondering if anyone using it has experienced issues with Salvaged Scrap planets.

Anyone familiar with No Man's Sky Save Editor?
I've been told to use it to transfer my Permadeath account to any mode of my choosing.
I've been playing on Permadeath for hundreds of hours, got a maxed-out S-class capital freighter, maxed out S-class Hauler and a maxed out S-class fighter. It's been kinda lonely in Permadeath and when I joined this server and tried to play with other people I realized most of them play on Normal, rarely on Survival and none on Permadeath.

Anyone know if there's a mod that can up draw distance. Tired of grass appearing right under my feet.
cold tartan
Does modding prevent multiplayer?
median wasp
Nope.
Which is a very dangerous capability.
To what I know most people are nice about it.
Most of the time I do save edits is for
1: OCD and inventory layout
2: Changing my ship's seed after I find a really badass one
3: Genuinely wanting something that's otherwise impossible to acquire (these are things like the gek head in the current community thing, though I still contribute)
Now as for mods involving some edits like that, I recently threw one together if you want to be able to do the main questline while in creative mode.
Just edits GCDEBUGOPTIONS.MBIN to enable godmode, make everything free, and all of that jazz.
This is what I used to record the atlas path questline without the grind.
smoky wing
I hope they don't decide to prevent save editing. 90% of the time I've edited my saves it's been to fix THEIR bugs. 😛

It is vanilla. The only thing changed is the vanilla plant/leaf/grass colors are rearranged a wee bit and those custom colors you see there in the grass were added. @tropic raptor

All the goodness of the previous version plus the vanilla/default HG grass colors have been "tweaked" to get a slightly more natural softer feel to match the custom colors better.

Is there a mod which supports 60-degree triangle building pieces, like ARK's Structures Plus mod? Is this even possible in NMS?
With S+, you could either add angled end caps to rectangular structures easily, or make hexagonal or dodecagonal structures easily. A square and a triangle floor piece snapped together make a 30-degree angle, which leads to lots of fun options.
hearty wasp
It'll take me a day or two to make those if I decide to make em
With current cuberoom snappoint architecture figured out it's actually p ez

Does anybody know if and how to increase the visibility of the base components?
My Base is is so big that many components appear only at the very last moment and in the photo mode from the distance it looks even worse, because I only can see placeholders for the actual component. PC version ofcourse...
hearty wasp
maybe setting the inactive model to the same as the actual one will work

Someone did that with CE once I think
Maybe Ray cos he's p much the only guy I know who dabble in CE much
Also yeah if HG breaks redundancy for missing IDs only IDs in bases and inventories are at risk

just posted the album on the Federation subreddit, the modding subreddit and the main subreddit and I'll appreciate it if y'all will show some support to the modding community's presence in the Fed
odd ibex
So if others have the mod installed, they'll see the modded base?
I really want to install the mod for all the extra versatility but I have some other questions:
- what if the mod becomes abandoned? I'm sure you don't plan on it now... but things happen
- Is everything recolorable with the in-game color editor?
- Do you unlock the blueprints via the blueprint analyzer?
- Can you upload the base with the modded parts in the first place? (Via the base computer)
hearty wasp
Yes
- Depends on if HG breaks their redundancy against missing IDs, if they don't things are just invisible
- Not everything
- Some of em
- That's what I did for Rushmore
odd ibex
@hearty wasp Oh I see. I assume if that redudancy breaks then loading into a save with the base will cause the game to crash. It seems unlikely that they'd remove that failsafe though; probably makes adding new content easier for them.
Hmm. So if the mod goes out of date and you die in a crazy shark accident then I should just delete the base via the computer and start over?
(Not that I wish a crazy shark accident to befall you)
hearty wasp
I mentioned that cos they already did that more than once since 1.5
if the game doesn't crash, yes
if it does, edit your save
it's actually surprisingly easy to delete your base
also death by shark sounds metal as fuck I'd rather die from that than cancer or some infection from inhaling my vomit
odd ibex
Agreed on the death. Valhalla, brother. I'm going to tentatively add the mod because I'm a Sims nut and house decorating -- err, base building would be even more addictive if I had more parts.
One last question, because the technicalities drive me crazy: If something went wrong, and I modified my save to delete the base -- what happens to the base already uploaded to the NMS servers? Does it linger as a ghost and will it crash the game for others who come to my planet? What if I build a new base on the same spot as the previously uploaded one?
I guess if deleting the base in the save also removed it from the servers that would be super convenient.
heavy merlin
If you deleted the base entirely, using the save editor, I expect there will still be a ghost on the server... You could try giving someone the coordinates for your planet, and they go look there while you're offline.
hearty wasp
that'd be p cool
heavy merlin
Deleting the parts of the base using the editor, then deleting the base normally from in game (or just rebuilding it, if the problem had then been resolved) would probably avoid anything strange with the server.
odd ibex
I agree @heavy merlin. I didn't know you could do that. I haven't seen the save structure yet (I haven't tried to modify a save) so I didn't realize bases were stored part for part. Your solution, if that's the case, sounds exactly perfect for fixing it should something come up.
hearty wasp
well the first entry in the base save is always the base computer so it'd be easy to just delete all the entries after that
odd ibex
Nice. Sounds plenty easy. I'll go ahead and install then.
hearty wasp
or just back up an empty base, export that base, and restore that when you wanna demolish the original base
odd ibex
I just didn't want any permanant damage to be a potential. I have a communication station that refuses to delete and that drives me INSANE. So a whole base-wide issue would probably make me quit lol
With all the stuff that can be uploaded to the NMS servers, I'm afraid something's going to break eventually lol. Like someone's going to mod a base with an SQL injection in the IDs or something and the devs are going to have to finally crack down on modding lol
hearty wasp
tbh I wouldn't be too surprised if that sort of thing's a thing that can happen lol
odd ibex
I worry, too, that modding is eventually going to break whole planets. Take for instance your shark attack again. If your mod goes defunct, and people have uploaded modded bases (but don't have the technical know-how to remove them via save editing) then whole planets will be unvisitable.
This is why modding + multiplayer is usually a no-go. Especially in a game like this where you can literally upload things to affect the server
hearty wasp
well HG just need to keep their shit from breaking in that case
odd ibex
Lol yeah
I guess they could sweep for unknown IDs and remove them if things otherwise break
I'm sure that wouldn't be hard on their end.
hearty wasp
the redundancy had always been there from Foundation till AR
lime mesa
So if I get some mods downloaded on nexusmods where do I put them, my game crashes whenever I have the mods inside the mods folder
hearty wasp
sounds like outdated mods
odd ibex
Also, you deleted the "DISABLEMODS" file in the directory?
Either way, shouldn't crash unless they're outdated

oi question for the modders, mod folders, do you put all of them into mods folder or is there certain mods like design or skinchanges that have to be somewhere else
my game crashes everytime i'm tryna put the darker space mod in.

probably outdated mods

Aight
put it in MODS
Yeah I've done that. Had them all there, but the game launches just closes down after the Hello Games screen.
It's unlucky whatever doe (:
Install the latest version from nexus
also update your game
and delete disablemods.txt
it doesn't crash for me so you are doing something wron g
yeah I know somethings wrong but idk what
They are supposed to be .pak things right?
yes
Maybe it's just outdated.
hearty wasp
they're using Darker Space when only Black Space is updated to 1.5
hearty wasp
hearty wasp
Darker Space wasn't even updated for 1.5 is exactly what I meant
lime mesa
The mod version is 1.4
I assume doesn't matter
Mod version is 1.4 because it contains all space enhancing mods
Black space is 1.8 now actually
how dumb of me
hearty wasp
Darker Space is the name of an old mod, if you don't know
that's why I said it's probably outdated
lime mesa
Ah
lime mesa
okay but
Lo2k does it better
@lime mesa use the one I linked above
I did
The game started just normaly
Seems like that one was working, also looks like the one mod that I've had installed of the dark space was also 1.1
I'm a Pepega
Stop downloading old mods
go to nexusmods you'll find most of the updated mods
I thought it's just the mod version not the game version.
hearty wasp
Just sort by recently updated
heavy merlin
Yeah, something like TEXTURES/UI/ICONS

that's what we don't get when HG doesn't support mods 
latent grove
I prefer alien planets 3 by redmas for my planet variety.
but I see what you mean
CAN we screw with creatures even though it's too complex? Or do we not even have the ability to try?
sharp pond
Might be a dumb question but can you import someone's else's say freighter bass into the game via save editor?
sharp pond
Forgive me I'm new to this community, what's that?
hearty wasp
a section in your save
sharp pond
Ahh got it, thank you!
thin viper
Project Atlas overhaul is finally here
it is under the same name in the files section
happy new year interlopers
it is fully modular , so you can pick and choose the components you want
normal crescent
is there a mod just to spice up terrain?
smoky wing
mmmmm... spicy terrain
hearty wasp
probably the one directly above your message
gusty fulcrum
@thin viper Been playing today and I love it! Just one question- is there a way for me to remove the unused assets from the game files/ make them not spawn? Does your asset pack reduce their spawn chances?
hearty wasp
isn't the asset pack a separate pak
thin viper
@gusty fulcrum no , currently there is not a way to do that
But most of the unused assets are slowly being fixed
So in time
Most will be working
hearty wasp
snaps onto infrastructure shape pieces including 3 longer pipes cos building 12 pipes is dumb
polar pebble
Is there currently any working tool to merge mods?
hearty wasp
XMM
hearty wasp
added ladder snappoints
thin viper
Add a cage
And animal spawners
Or some thing
Then anyone can make zoos
It will be become jurrasic world
hearty wasp
shouldn't be hard tbh
but then it'd be boring if there's only a single size for it
not to mention unsafe
thin viper
Nothing about nms is safe
hearty wasp
giant letters for giant billboards
hearty wasp
added cuberoom frame snappoints to make putting down letters easier
prisma totem
Anyone have a rough idea how many combinations for procedural generated fauna there is?
hearty wasp
probably quite a few
just read descriptors and figure em out yourself cos I'm pretty sure none of us actually finds a point in doing it when we have to make actual mods
lime mesa
you live up to your name
prisma totem
Thats a very educated guess...
hearty wasp
I mean I ain't kidding when I said reading each descriptor would probably be the easiest way to figure it out
prisma totem
I must admit its the politest "fuck you" I've ever received though 😂😂 Ill take a look at the descriptors. Thanks for pointing me
hearty wasp
if you've seen any of us modders in the modding discord actively trying to figure this out you can tell me whenever but I was just telling a fact that I've been seeing, sorry if you get offended but that nothing I say doesn't offend people these days so I rather just give up on that
heavy merlin
What is a combination anyway?
prisma totem
I'm only messing bud, no offence taken lol
hearty wasp
Basically a case where all lowest-leveled descriptors are selected is a combo
Possible ones, that is, so a null on the top level is considered a lowest-leveled one because it doesn't have a child descriptor
heavy merlin
Well, yes... But is that what they mean?
hearty wasp
It's as much of a combination as the combination of numbers on a safe are combinations
heavy merlin
find how many different possibilities there are for species so I guess that is what was wanted. I originally thought maybe they meant combination of all animals on a planet, or something, but no, just possibilities for a single animal.
hearty wasp
Understandable
prisma totem
What I mean is, for example if there was only 5 different parts to make an animal, say head,body,legs,arms and tales then you would get the answer from the factorial operation 5x4x3x2x1 and that will give you the number of possible combinations... So im looking for the exact amount of possible "creature" parts to get a factorial figure... I can then divide that by restrictive parameters to get a figure of the amount of "possible creatures" that can be procedurally generated.
I worded that terribly 😂
Basically total creature parts factorially multiplied will give a figure of possibilities, that can be divided by restrictive parameters to form a number
heavy merlin
It's nowhere near that simple though, as it's not just a set of parts that can be combined in any combination, certain parts only go with other parts...
prisma totem
Thats partly what im counting as a restrictive parameter
I wasn't looking for an exact calculation, just a rough estimate
Primarily I'm curious about the algorithm they used to create it
thin viper
If you are asking for visually disntinct procedural combination
Probably less than 50
If you count every proc combination possible
It's probably somewhere like 1000 or 2000
prisma totem
THANKYOU!!!!! 😂 😂 😂
thin viper
But I won't say they are all visually distinct
Like of those 2000 you probably won't notice any difference visually
heavy merlin
Well, depends what you count as visually distinct... Same model but very different size, or with very different colours could be distinct?
prisma totem
I'm not counting size and colour as it would be too vast of a scale
thin viper
In-game you would not notice such small details and novelty wears off pretty fast
Yeah
I am only counting parts
Not the size or colors
prisma totem
Thanks claus
heavy merlin
Probably somewhere like 2000? I just checked the "antelope" type, and there's over 10 times that for that kind of creature alone.
prisma totem
Oh dear... I think ive opened a can of worms 😂
steel crypt
This reminds me of some of the conversations I've had on acid.
prisma totem
lmao
thin viper
Yeah moo but I am speaking of visually distinct stuff
Like antelope has 5 tail types
One is single tail ,another double tail
Rest are different sizes of the same tails
heavy merlin
That was your "less than 50" though?
hearty wasp
thin viper
Everything In that is placed?
supple wadi
speaking of the combinations, it's pretty important to take into account "colors" insofar as textures are concerned tho, given they have a whole wild mishmash system for those on top of the part mishmash
grand vortex
hey guys, I have a question
I'm a broke ass college kid so i had to pirate the game. is there a 1.77 patch for steam so i can play multiplayer?
and no, I dont plan on being a pirate forever. I like this game. Im going to buy it when i get the cash
hearty wasp
that's cracking territory not modding
go to game cracking/pirating related forums and ask there instead
grand vortex
yeah i figured. I just didnt know how to find a cracking forum or anything
do you have a good one you could point me to?
tardy panther
sucks to be you
grand vortex
lol its all good. I'll be able to get the game someday
hearty wasp
not sure if people'd get mad at me point you to any place of that kind
grand vortex
I completely understand. I'm usually not one to partake in this kind of stuff as well. I figured this would just be a place to start
tardy panther
I can't see what happens in DM's, lol
hearty wasp
trudat
grand vortex
lol i like you guys already
pallid tartan
@grand vortex pretty sure it goes on sale pretty often too. Good luck saving!
waxen cedar
hoi
can anyone give the warping animation without ship or hud?
any video format will do
lime mesa
please 😉
hearty wasp
I'll only give Warp Candy ones
waxen cedar
hmm, guess I'll have to boot up nms by myself then 😛
hearty wasp
that's the spirit
thin viper
@waxen cedar for what?
There is no video of it
Since it usually includes your ship
In it
waxen cedar
thanks
thin viper
new update, with lot of new changes and improvements
few pics in #nms-photomode-gallery
steel crypt
Now all plant, leaf, grass, and sand colors are custom except 2 or 3. All Vanilla NMS colors exist, but have been tweaked. Plant colors have been updated to have better saturation and variety.
thin viper
so small new mod
adds
"loot boxes"
hehe
many people didnt get the resources at the start of survival and other modes
so this will fix that
some resources it gives
if any resources is not covered by this, let me know
these are the lootboxes
pallid tartan
Cool! I take it this is only on the starting planet?
thin viper
Nope
Every planet
So like if you don't have a important resource,find one of these on that planet and you will be safe
pallid tartan
Oh cool!
sinful anvil
oohhh im curious now
rotund vine
@thin viper Is it a stable mod? Or does it lag a lot?
Will download the mod if the next update doesn't improve variety
thin viper
No lags
And it's stable
No crashes
You can try in creative mode in a separate save
To see how it is
rotund vine
Oh that is very nice
Thanks but I am fine for now, I trust HG for improving the game naturally
But I’ll defenitely get the mod if that isn’t the case
hearty wasp
see you in 10 years
lime mesa
See you when RayRod releases his mUltiVeRSE mOd that adds 20000k biomes with new NASA Imagery and unlimited possibilities so that you never find anything that looks the same
Oh wait
That will never happen
hearty wasp
See you when someone rip his old shit and release them like they made it themself while saying stealing is a "false issue" and accusing him of stealing at the same time?
Wait that already happened actually how the fuck?
lime mesa
I guess trying to ignore the real problem is better than trying to look at it
hearty wasp
yeah ignoring stealing is obviously better than ignoring bullshitery
lime mesa
Bullshittery that people keep buying into and attacking those who don't believe that bullshittery
But who stole
I need to know more
hearty wasp
I dunno man no one seem to believe me like, ever
hearty wasp
every time I say anything about it people say I'm stirring up drama and people don't even care when I put up screenshots lmfao
thin viper
even the NSA cant solve this shit
hearty wasp
well everyone's biased towards somethin and they decides what they believe, I suppose
lime mesa
Oof, no I mean that I'm storing everything for a big run down video on the modding drama
Just tell mee @hearty wasp
hearty wasp
didn't cobra once talked with ray in a vid or somethin btw
lime mesa
Yes neither did I
rotund vine
RayRod is a good man with a good mod
Didn't follow the drama
But I can tell it's stupid
lime mesa
pffft
He's a scam artist
But I'm not going to say more
I've already been attacked by his brainless fans a lot
tame mica
Scam artist?
lime mesa
yup
verbal swallow
lime mesa
I wouldn't really call him a scam artist, just that he exaggerates.
There isn't really a "scam" going on here, I'd say. I think his passion just stifles his way of speech, not much unlike Hello Games' prior situation (aside from this being related to modding the game rather than the development of it).
Except, of course, that situation extended to more than just speech, but actual video footage of the game (but that's in the past anyway).
sullen venture
if it is free is it really a scam
rotund vine
@sullen venture Alucard!
sullen venture
!!!
lime mesa
You're right, it was an exaggeration calling him a scam artist
pallid tartan
I played his prior release in atlas rises and thought it was quite good. What does everyone have against him?
hearty wasp
He "speculated" some hidden features and things that are in the game when no one ever can find any evidence and he claims he's gonna make them all real and people are just bashing him cos he's basically bootleg pre-release Sean or something
but again as long as they don't steal or bite and his shit has quality I don't give 2 shits about just claims myself
pallid tartan
Yeah I do think he likes to boast about his mod a lot, and I’d be willing to bet we’re not going to see it released for some time. I remember how long it took for the atlas rises version of his mod
thin viper
finally fixed most of the major issues in the mod from feedback from all mod users,collisions are fixed in nearly all remaining props.,there are still a few props that dont have collisions,but those props dont even open with the mod tools, so i cant fix those. but otherwise, most issues are fixed. tag me if any new issues props up. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/493
lime mesa
alright
pallid tartan
AWESOME! Even the little pineapple tree things??
thin viper
yeah
if you find some props without collisions, it because the mod tool couldnt open that
so i couldnt fix it
otherwise everything else is fixed
west kettle
anyone using bigger things with an edited lua? seems it does some weird things.
Used mod builder to add big things in since it had the script normal scale is "5" . . . loaded game and thought the grass was to big. Alt-f4 to close changed scale to 2. . . now the grass is taller than wood walls. . . How does this work?
no save in between the edits. .
hearty wasp
probably in a sorta buggy way
west kettle
currently trying -8
hearty wasp
go to the modding discord and report that to Mjjstral yourself, he'd appreciate it
west kettle
talking about the channel we are in "modding" or a completely seperate discord?
hearty wasp
lime mesa
hearty wasp
every link is basically the same
in the way that they all kick you out even tho we set it not to
I should really ask dem people to ask the people about it
hearty wasp
hearty wasp
these are built
charred valley
These vehicles are from mods? @hearty wasp
hearty wasp
we are in #nms-modding
charred valley
I see that, just asking
I've never played the game yet, I'm researching to defide wether to get it or not
Probably will, but I'm fixing my PC, internet doesn't work
heavy merlin
Those are the vehicles you can use in the game normally... I guess the mod lets you place them as static models.
charred valley
@heavy merlin thank you! That's great
hearty wasp
wonder if I should allow people to stick em fuckin upside down under ceilings and shit
lime mesa
YES PLEASE
hearty wasp
would make some good abstrat art or whatever
hearty wasp
did you know I can literally make every single object placable under ceilings
I just can't be arsed to do all of em cos immersion or somethin
oops nearly made nada and polo upside down instead
but yeah the drain pipes are 2 examples where you can make anti-gravity draining
lime mesa
I guess I'll ask here, since save editor. Is there a site somewhere where I can check statuses for missions?
For example MP_DEPOT_RAID has a stage of 14, that apparently means i chose the mission, and then abandoned it.
What for literally every other mission combo etc?
lime mesa
So tracking that one quest, that fucked up my quest book is next to impossible.
Well that sucks.
hearty wasp
decompile the mission tables and you can read the mission steps yourself
and have you tried just deleting that block of mission in your save editor
lime mesa
There's like 401 missions currently.
I need stages, and then I have to go one by one to see which fucking mission doesn't show up in the diary, but can't be abandoned or finished.
All to fix that.
hearty wasp
I mean if you can't be arsed you can always just accept fate lol
hearty wasp
mm can't seem to see HG's way of making vehicle summoner work
ionic mulch
@hearty wasp Are you still taking suggestions/requests for new building parts?
hearty wasp
mainly from builders for Project Facade as I've stated in my mod pages
but you can just say words and I'll probably throw it at the end of the list if it ain't essential
ionic mulch
Ok. A few that would enable a lot more options are:
Sloped Cuboid Rooms, since the base game only has curved roof pieces
hearty wasp
the Facade ones are already that tho
ionic mulch
Triangular cuboid rooms (60-degree equilateral; can snap to square cuboid rooms to allow for options such as hexagonal, dodecagonal, and trapezoidal rooms)
Dodecagonal rooms using these pieces in ARK are close enough to round to be believable. This could let users make structures which look like oversized round rooms, for example.
Triangular cuboid slopes. Ideally, there would be a way to make a slope with one corner or two corners raised.
hearty wasp
I might only make Facade versions of them since I don't think there are triangular cuberoom walls/floors
ionic mulch
The walls should be the same size, but new floor pieces would be needed
(the walls being the same length is what makes the fun happen)
hearty wasp
I'll still have to do the ruin parts and Facade basic walls/floors but I'll drop some of them into the list
I'll probably get into it... eventually
ionic mulch
Thanks! I might start hanging out in the modding server and give it a try myself, but my independent project time is supposed to be going to a Temtem fan page :/
No worries either way, just thought I'd mention it since it would allow for more options.
hearty wasp
most of the time it's just that I don't have time to work on stuff of that magnitude
making dem cuberooms in 3-4 days already worked me out and I'm still recovering
stray girder
What are the best mods for adding more environments, creatures, ships, and resources?
lime mesa
do you mean increasing the spawn rate of animals or more variety in animals
stray girder
Variety
stray girder
... I was kinda hoping you'd suggest a few.
split basalt
Get the no blobs one
steel crypt
@stray girder look on nexus. Sort from recent. The mod types you are talking about are really about what you like vs someone else, so it's hard to say.
sinful anvil
@stray girder my personal recommendations from ones ive played are either Gamer's environmental overhaul mod or Redmas' The Next Big Adventure
stray girder
Anyone got a link to Redmas's The Next Big Adventure?
sinful anvil
I don't atm I'm on my phone 😭
hushed bronze
@thin viper Still hate your "ground" colors mod :P
But damn that sky mod, very cool
Also, just like Chroma skies, it combines with something about Dream Space that transposes its sky colors onto planets in space, as atmospherics visible from across the solar system
thin viper
So huh now we know why they limited number of modded planets that can be added with visions
From Sean himself
"We will probably give them some tools to allow them to do some stuff. But we don't want people creating new planets within an existing game. I don't think we can stop them doing that if there's a clever enough programmer, which there always is, there are going to be weird things with the game unofficially. But officially I think we probably want to give people some modding ability just so they leave our game alone. Just give them enough creative outlet to keep them busy rather than them thinking of all of the destructive things that they could do. "
lime mesa
and yet no modding tools
thin viper
Well the community itself has created all tools needed
lime mesa
yeah I mean the official modding tools
tools that let us mess with the game like creation engine
add new stories, monsters, beginnings, endings, biomes, lore
etc
thin viper
Meh
thin viper
Tbh if I had known about this interview before I would not have made my mod itself
Lol
The dev itself don't want those..so you know better not to do that
But it's too late now
heavy merlin
Destructive?
thin viper
lime mesa
Is there an experimental version for the next update yet?
pliant walrus
No
sullen venture
not gonna lie reading that paragraph from sean made me want to uninstall
charred isle
Ok
thin viper
Mod updated to include survival mode resources and stuff ,Like the same resources as vanilla planets
weary ruin
@sullen venture That was like a quote from 2014, https://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2014/12/26/an-assortment-of-lesser-known-no-man-s-sky-facts.aspx
I don't think it is the reality today
smoky wing
The screens from that article make me sigh. I wanna play that game.
supple wadi
😐
after toying with the terrain gen a bit & looking at those again, i see the terrain there being much simpler, or perhaps just shallower. Just has the right lighting/atmospherics to make it look like it may have more depth to it in spots
smoky wing
Yeah. I've encountered a few planets with thick low-laying fog, but I think they were all extreme. It'd be nice to mix that up a bit. Also, distance fog is much thinner now. That's good to show off the longer view distance, but again it needs to be mixed up more. Not every planet atmosphere needs to be clear for miles.
There's a bunch of subtle changes that add up to a very different feel. Old versions had heavy rim-lighting, that was very reduced by pathfinder (my preference) but not completely removed until Next. Pre-Next had heavy a heavy "bottom-light" to emulate bounced skylight (liked this), which is mostly gone after Next.
rotund vine
Harmless fog should be a standard on one in (number) lush planets, they make a greaaaatttt addition to photographing. This is also to not reveal the far vicinity and keep players interested earlier in exploring in the way of “what lays beyond this fog?” The color of the mist can be random according to a palette.
- What I sent HG
smoky wing
I think I'd agree with that
hushed bronze
@thin viper Did you also allow dusk skies to be star color independently of daytime skies?
thin viper
@hushed bronze huh also I have released a bunch of other mods too
There is a water colors mod thing
Similar to alien skies
But for water
And then project atlas planet mod
Different from diverse envrionments
You can try those if you want
It should be called project atlas overhaul
It's in files section of diverse environments
hushed bronze
I tried the water mod, its fun.
Personally I think water should be heavily biased to very dark colors, but, its still a big improvement from stock, which is terrible
@thin viper Two custom waters
lime mesa
I'll let you know in 10 years
rotund vine
Wondering too, I hope he completes the project
odd ibex
His "18,000 hours of work" can't keep up with the dev team updating the game every once in a while
