he made 20k handcrafted procedural biomes
18000 hours of work and no sleep
poor guy
lone spire
that gif is just so painterly
lime mesa
I love it, it always makes me smile when I see it.
thin viper
Where is it from
rotund vine
Wait please don't tell me he really spent 18000 hours
That's more than 2 years day and night so nvm
lime mesa
Apparently so
This project has over 18,000 hours invested, and the amount of content and variety that this fan addition to the game brings is endless. This has also been created out of passion and inspiration of Hello Games... and their beautiful No Man's Sky game. There's too much to bottle up, so I recommend just checking it out firsthand when the first custom test build is released.
thin viper
It's honestly so cringy because he started "his" so called "multiverse" a week after I showed my project atlas
And then acts all innocent
And says he is working on it for years
What a liar
rotund vine
Ok guys in the end it's just a game where the topic is modifying it so calm down ๐ค
odd ibex
We joke about his 18k hour thing because it's obviously a straight out lie
rotund vine
Also @odd ibex nice cyberpunk PFP, best aesthetic
odd ibex
It just goes with his usual showboating and over-the-top delusions of grandeur. It doesn't take a trained psychologist to see in his words that he's a narcissist and delusional.
Thanks o3o
rotund vine
OwO
hushed bronze
@thin viper Rayrod aside, You have said you were going to offer your generator for others to use. Is that still the plan?
honest umbra
Has anybody made a mod where you can create zoos
steel crypt
No, HG listened though and made you that blob in an aquarium thing. LOL there's your zoo.
odd ibex
:pokes blob with a stick, sadly:
This... is my terrarium.
hushed bronze
Can you not assign creatures to the terarrium? Is it only ever the blob?
odd ibex
Correct. It's not a complicated piece of coding. It's a simple base decoration. I'm not sure why people really thought you'd be able to change the creature in it
If they planned to let you do that, that would be a major feature... not an optional possible reward from community missions
hushed bronze
I dont think it would be as hard as you might think, I could dream of a few shortcuts that could make it a pretty less-than-nightmare level challenge. But w/e you're right, even my best ideas would be big enough to warrant introducing it as a notable thing in a enw expansion
That said since its strictly a blob creature pen, I wont bother with it
odd ibex
Didn't mean to sound harsh, if it came off that way.
I do wish we had creature containment pods or terrariums or whatever. Like Subnautica.
hearty wasp
the terrarium doesn't even have an actual creature
it's just a model with 1 looping anim
also if y'all accusing ray you should bring it back to Nov 2017 instead of 5 months ago cos that was a way juicier time 
hushed bronze
I havent been involved with Ray enough to have an opinion
hearty wasp
it's ok most of us ain't but no one seems to be bothered by that
hushed bronze
IKR far as I can tell Ray has been working on this for something like 16 months but I can see where people are getting frustrated - either he's oversold what he can do, or he's getting wrecked by his own perfectionism not cooperating with realism (I know a guy Just like that) or he is in fact, lying, but I think flat lying is less likely for the most part, although his "18,000 hours" claim can't possibly be accurate
Basically if he has been going 18 months, then he would have to work 33 hours per day to get to 18,000
thin viper
This is his close friend
The reason he says he started his whole mod thing was apparently to get revenge on me
Seems so dumb
quiet island
While I appreciate the commentary and understand the frustration (and possible comical implications), let's try to keep the bashing out of the channel and stick to showing off all the wonderful work you guys do.
thin viper
I am just trying to show that my accusations aren't baseless or with no reason
quiet island
Oh, I know. And I agree with everything you've said too.
I'd just rather not get into any drama since we all know things like to get out
hearty wasp
wait how is oppressor his "close friend" lmao
lime mesa
The modding "community" is a mess
hearty wasp
eh I'd say it's just on the same messiness as most gaming communities out there
We're just more outspoken while keeping more info on ourselves
odd ibex
I've done modelling and texture work for the skyrim and fallout modding communities. I have done things for GTA going back as far as Vice City. I started in Worms: Armageddon.
Never have I seen one as weird as NMS or Rayrod.
lime mesa
You might have heard of RayRod if you were in the GTA V modding/hacking community
odd ibex
The only modding I had a part in for GTA V was LSPDFR mainly
lime mesa
Oh
lone spire
That's just the generic response when you upload an issue and select PC as platform

How's that modding related
they mentioned modding??
Okay

I would remove that pic

it's still in the other channel, might want to remove it from there too
cyan oracle
ho-ho-holy crap..

people still trashing on ray?
hearty wasp
I don't think people have any other people to laugh about and blame on so who else are they gonna talk about
rotund vine
Yeah itโs pathetic at this point
hearty wasp
eh if they think ripping ideas is worse than ripping ways of mechanism work and lines of code who am I to judge
supple wadi
there's also just not much going on in terms of modding atm so things just fumble back around to dead horses
hushed bronze
We need a dead horse-beating mod!
thin viper
hearty wasp
Lol you should have seen how butthurt people can get when I talk about that guy who once got banned from both Nexus and NMSmods and had to resort to hosting their mod on their own website
That were better times
odd ibex
oof
lime mesa
I don't think it's beating a dead horse when he still claims he has spent 18000 hours on his mod
but okay
go with his lies
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
rotund vine
Dude itโs not like he affected your personal life lmao
Jeez itโs only modifying a game

lol its so fun when randos on internet can offer opinions and views of stuff they arent even remotely involved or have zero information of whats happening

But seriously, I know a lot of that can still be a sore subject around here, but it's all outside of here now. Lets just leave it outside of here, you know?
steel crypt
Please. I have listened to the RayRod drama for years now. Anyone looking for fame from modding is going to be disappointed in the end.
hushed bronze
lol my mods will probably just be ignored flat out lol
but at least I will like them! ๐
But anyway, I am taking requests on exact colors people wanna see, there's basically at least 32 slots to fill
up to 64
(Variance = how many two-tones I want to include)
rotund vine
But he ainโt here anymore nor do I see him trashtalk somewhere
lime mesa
maybe you should go onto his discord
and you'll see him bashing gamer every once in a while
and calling his work lazy and bad
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
okay I 'll stop
quiet island
๐
lime mesa
Sorry Joe
quiet island
That's his discord, and he's (as low as it is) allowed to do that. It's better for us to take the high road and celebrate our modders, not bash them (which we celebrate anyway)
quiet island
Regardless of what goes on outside of here, I'm glad you guys chill here and interact with the community.
lime mesa
Same tbh.
I don't use mods but do enjoy seeing the hard work and effort that is put into mods whilst making me wonder why they don't exist in vanilla.
quiet island
I'd love to see all of you guys collaborate on some big, game changing type mod. I don't know how easy or hard it would be, considering I have zero idea how to even start.... or if it's even possible.
hearty wasp
Lol we don't do that here
Been that way since... That happened
Most of us do modular & compatibility patches
lime mesa
I guess that's a work around.
quiet island
Oh, I figured. Still, some sort of total conversion or something similar would be an interesting project.
hearty wasp
Project Facade's been a personal effort and mod list for ArC is meant to be a mod list for that reason
thin viper
Project atlas kinda does stuff that lacks in vanilla variety (biomes,colors, ecosystem,new props and more)
hearty wasp
is this what you wanted @lime mesa
lime mesa
beautiful
smoky wing
@hushed bronze personally I'd just like a big mix of possible colors. A nice full range of hues in a variety of tones: saturated, muted, light, dark, etc.
As for the two-toned stuff, I probably prefer them to be more closely related most of the time, with bigger contrasts being less common.
odd ibex
I would like gamer's Atlas Project to simply remove Pink as a planet color . Bam, perfect mod. lol. I'm just kidding. I like the crazy variety because it makes finding a reasonable looking planet its own mini-game.
hushed bronze
@smoky wing That is actually my intention - in mind I have: "Brights", "Darks", "Pastels", "Slate Colors (muted), "Black and White", "Blends and specifics like forest green you know everyone will want"
smoky wing
that's pretty much exactly what I'd want from HG, so more power to ya
hushed bronze
So keep in mind this is meant to be the "brightest possible Green" without going overboard? Too bright? just right? ...... too dim?
ionic mulch
Maybe just a tad too bright for such a large area.
Hmm, or it would look more natural in different lighting? The trees being so much duller might be what makes it seem so out of place.
smoky wing
Yeah I will agree with the tree thing. If you're just changing grass color, then the trees could look out of place. If you can change tree colors to complement the grass more like AR did then that shouldn't be any issue.
I think the above pic looks fine both being shades of green, but some of your other color shots looked like it might be a bit off.
tame pilot
It is a bit bright but I personally don't mind it
hushed bronze
@smoky wing Can you be more specific?
Anyway here's a new green, also
Greens are really particular and sensitive to tiny changes, theyre tricky, lol
smoky wing
Just in general. I don't think any shots looked bad in that collage you posted, but I think some would work better with some brighter / more-saturated tree colors too
hushed bronze
Ah, well, the trees simply aren't part of the surrent testing, thats all
smoky wing
That's a nice Earthy one, isn't that color already in the game?
hushed bronze
Something similar is already in game, yes
smoky wing
okay gotcha
I like what you're doing though.. course watch HG come out with another update that does the same thing ๐
smoky wing
lol, naw I'm just screwin with ya
hushed bronze
But then later when another GFx overhaul comes around, clip it down to four again everyone all pissed off
smoky wing
haha
hushed bronze
Watch the next one be like Orange, yellow, brown, and hot pink
Ppl like "Nogreenatall????raaaage"
Oh and we removed bushes for performance improvements
cold tartan
@hushed bronze wasn't there a mod you were talking about that changes the sky color to match the star?
hushed bronze
Yes, and I still might, but actually gamer liked the idea and included that concept in "Alien Skies"
I have issue with some parts of that mod, but he did include star-matched skies
cold tartan
ah, there it is: 5)some planets have lighting based on star color too.
I kinda want it to be only that ๐
hushed bronze
he seems to have neutered clouds for whatever reason in it, for example idk what thats about
In any case in 3 years when I get to skies mods, Ill RE his work and make it awesome ๐
I wouldnot ever have a chance in hell of figuring that out myself as I am literally not a programmer in any meaningful capacity
lime mesa
looks good, not a fan of neon green but im sure itd fit in certain planets
hushed bronze
Well, the first five or so are meant for earth-like potential, but the Lime green is very much a blazing fantasy color
cold tartan
๐
smoky wing
it's not easy being green
tame mica
Or red. We need actual Black in NMS, as green splotches look awful.
smoky wing
ugh, yeah on the freighters? I suspect it's texture compression gone very wrong. Really needs fixin.
odd ibex
Might be obvious but make sure you check out your colors in other environments (atmospheres). It'll affect the color.

teh second one thats chewing into uncut ground yes
Hey I need eight more colors, you got ideas/requests?
hearty wasp
nah it ain't
hushed bronze
did it erase ground ? hard to tell
hushed bronze
I know that, but these things spawn on forced flat zones and your extension looks like it overlaps unflattened ground
hearty wasp
yeah buildables don't push ground up
hushed bronze
oh you just stole the models and used them in regular basebuilding didnt you
i thought it was a sortt of NPC building enhancer
hearty wasp
you can't snap anything to proc gen stuff cos snappoints are specified in basebuilding table separately now
blame HG 
hushed bronze
THOSE BASTARDS
hearty wasp
also I don't care about proc gen stuff in the wild cos there are enough people working on it
hushed bronze
anyway would it be possible to simply specify more layouts for NPC bases?
hearty wasp
I mean gamer was doing his city type mod just before 1.5

as long as you can be arsed to lsystems and descriptors and manually fit everything together you can do a lot
anyway Imma work on ruin parts tmr cos why not build a ruin

We will probably get some expanded city stuff in vanilla nms itself this year
They have a guy whose whole expertise is in that area
hushed bronze
oh well given the community's leading complaints thats actually unsurprising
Does Euclidea have Ruin parts?

hope they get multistoried shit working but I won't hold my breath for it
not, yet
if it has I won't need to work on it anymore 
ionic mulch
@hushed bronze grass color suggestions, can you post a gallery if what you have so far? (Or swatches, list them, whatever)
astral jay
Is there a mod for the E3 2014 style UI
hushed bronze
@ionic mulch Ive been keeping a word doc with the thumbnails because swatches represented in a browser/app =/= actual appearance in game
I use neutrally-lit planets with a non-small grass type to get a good idea of what the look like, and I cannot do much about the atmos with crazy colors, not every combo will always look amazing, oh well
ALSO, none of these are considered truly "final" and I will gladly tweak any colors Im not happy with before pushing anythign that could be called a release
thin viper
small new mod, that increases draw distance of planet features when seen upon planet entry https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/962
a video with the mod https://youtu.be/mGzp1hRpnOQ
same planet without the mod
left sentinel
this would probably come at the cost of performance, yeah?
thin viper
i didnt have any fps issues
but depends on your system mostly
i mean you can see the video with/without mod,both have same performance
left sentinel
I'll try on my system lmao
lime mesa
This will drop fps by 5-10
Trust me
LOD increasing mods usually mess with my fps
Well they mess the fps with any game
hushed bronze
Its hard to say, could depend on upper limits
Maybe a Quad core would struggle to keep upo with the load, and an octo would hold up fine
In anycase I have a 14 so Im getting this mod
hushed bronze
Yes thats what I mean, if the Load of calculating that land is optimal at 6+ cores with the mod, then you wouldnt see a difference because both scenarios are well within your CPUs ability
if you're 6+
thin viper
oh
hushed bronze
hushed bronze
no wait mine's a 2697 but still 14 cores
thin viper
yeah its not even a comparison lol
hushed bronze
I got it busted for 200 and had my best bud fix it for another 200
4 threads? Not cores?
HOW DO YOU LIVE
And where did you make the change, Im thinking I'll just turn whatever you did straight up to 11 lol
hushed bronze
increases anthor 40 times
thin viper
its literally only affects what you see upon planet entry
probably would be good for aerial shots
hushed bronze
I know and I love that part even at normal
hushed bronze
I do some modding I can probably handle it myself lol
For that matter I can just open yours
hushed bronze
Im just concerned it may be a 500k line file and I wont know where to look
thin viper
open it lol
hushed bronze
Anyway gonna try it out as is now2
thin viper
hmmm
hushed bronze
Here's some REALLY detailed land! Almost.... hand-crafted, if you will
just kidding lol
Crazy request.... seems ore piles render separately and at oppressivly short range
Making that render long range would be a better miracle than santa claus lol
thin viper
You can try increasing the values and see if it helps
thin viper
Nice
It will look best on mega exotics
Since it has these huge props that pop in only when you near the surface
hushed bronze
this will save many lives
I just thougbht of a crazy idea inspired by the screenshot sections
What if a mod that jusrt changes the ship 3rd person to a more "mounted to the roof" sort of placement? #nms-photomode-gallery
hushed bronze
Yeah you would have to pretty much totally erase the rotational lag if its meant to imitate a fixed mount
could tuyrn out way harder than expected
hushed bronze
@magic lava Any particular reds you wanna see in my grass mod?
hearty wasp
Rosewood and crimson would look well I assume
magic lava
Nope, nothing specific - just not neon
lime mesa
@grave anchor Better to ask here than the #nms-photomode-gallery channel

sometimes im oblivious like that
that happens often
i figured out WeMod does No Man's Sky
so that fixxes it

another thing that nobody asked for https://gfycat.com/harmlesspointlesseft
smoky wing
I'm much more concerned about the rest of your body
hearty wasp
oh don't worry about that you don't need a body to stay alive
lime mesa
I wonder if it would be possible to make a mod that has a globe item of the actual planet itโs placed on
I suppose you could scale down the model when viewed from space
smoky wing
with a little red blip "you are here"
hearty wasp
prob not
cos placed objects uses the seed gen from local coords
and then black magic proc gen happen from there
lime mesa
But without showing player location, would it be possible to have a globe of the planet in a base?
hearty wasp
no because what I said above
lime mesa
Couldnโt the model seen from space just be copy and pasted and scaled down?
Sorry if Iโm wrong, I donโt really understand stuff like this
hearty wasp
prob not because the model will be proc gen from the seed that is made with the local coords
which is different than the planet seed
unless you do some improbable black magic with mission table maybe
lime mesa
Couldnโt the planet seed be reused at a smaller scale inside a base item? Iโm probably completely wrong
lime mesa
Oh
Ok
So there canโt be like an item that reads the seed when you land and creates a map?
hearty wasp
nop
lime mesa
Ok
hearty wasp
not without CE
smoky wing
HG would have to add that kind of thing themselves.
smoky wing
yup, lookin familiar ๐
Admittedly I thought the purple/orange didn't need to be quite as common as it was.... but still, it was weird and I miss it

Any mods to actually diversify this game ? 116 hours in and I feel like I have seen it all

@sullen venture try https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/?tab=latest ?
sullen venture
bit bland
but I tried the foilage ones etc. and nothing
just grass where there wasnt before
smoky wing
Megaliths is an interesting one. Should probably backup your saves before trying mods tho, just to be safe.
hushed bronze
@sullen venture Diverse Environments has its flaws but it will def mix it up for you
sullen venture
does it touch the animals? and what are the chances of encountering non vanilla planets?
hushed bronze
It remixes all of the static objects that get put on the planets
animals are unaffected
planet placement is unaffected and land formation (the actual ground) is unaffected
thin viper
@sullen venture you can try my project atlas mods
It's under files section of diverse environments mos
It's more or less covers entire game
Like planets,colors, ecosystem,terrain
Etc
Just keep a backup of your save

Storm cancelling ๐ค
hearty wasp
yeah just found that last night cos Mixer can give you storms
why not have twitch integration which people actually goes on instead
thin viper
Can you make it trigger storms on purpose 
hearty wasp
yeah that's like the intended purpose of the reward struct lmao
thin viper
Lol
hearty wasp
Mixer's one set to 30
hearty wasp
I just have mine set to 0.001 and it makes the storm go away instantly when there's an active storm
lime mesa
Wow
thin viper
Lol
thin viper
Well the storm is just a bubble around the player
hearty wasp
if you use it when there's no active storm it just starts a storm and then clears it immediately after the transition
lime mesa
Nice, so that machine you just showed will stop storms?
hearty wasp
it makes them go away
lime mesa
I love it.
hearty wasp
just basically a variety to B.D.S.M cos that shields you from any environmental hazard but has a giant ass visible bubble
whereas this just stop storm but not normal hazards

I placed one out of curiosity in creative mode and I couldn't remove it and I could walk through it

Infrastructure pipes are in the same category as other infrastructure pieces, the cube and pyrimid etc

Makes me wonder why we don't see more of that kind of thing from the normal game. Would be nice to see a bunch more modular building bits used to procedurally assemble bigger alien settlements. Like barracks, medbays, observation domes, cantinas, etc.
Some could be just for atmosphere, others could be useful like maybe a room with a refiner or other tech.
Anyway, looks cool to me, should be fun to build with those

thin viper
Considering it happens on vanilla too
I don't see how it a problem for any modder to deal with it
hearty wasp
Nah not on that magnitute, the crystal that's floating above the trees
thin viper
Oh that's not even my mod. I don't use that crystal since it's more trouble than necessary
But it's certainly a bug in vanilla
That needs to be fixed
hearty wasp
yeah but instead of making it apparent it may be better to evade it if it's gonna float 100m off the ground is what I was trying to express lol
it can become a potential problem when you can see it far away
think the existing vanilla crystals have extensions for safety right?

this is what I meant, just a bit extra at the bottom

is it possible to mod in the old freighter interior layout?

If you mean building with the cube rooms n stuff, then basically yes, just go turn off your build restrictions in uyour settings file
@waxen cedar
pallid tartan
@hushed bronze how about the old corridors that led to the bridge?

those would probably be replaced by the new one cos they use the same scene
but the old freighter base starting point stayed because it's its own scene for reasons I can explain but would take too much time so I won't

btw @hearty wasp, in working on the ruin parts, did you find where/what might be causing the glitched parts where walls just...Don't display at all?
@sacred drift i'd suggest browsing the options available on Nexus, that way ya can find whatever suits your interests
sacred drift
yea already did, thanks tho :o
hearty wasp
typos in the descriptor files maybe?
or just the spawning system messing up
sometimes they spawn the objects way below
but that shouldn't happen with ruins cos they're all scene nodes with descriptors and not compound planetobjects

Is there a good general resource documenting NMS file contents? Or is everyone just kinda winging it?
hearty wasp
wym by "file contents"
like what struct which global uses?
cos every struct is on the git https://github.com/monkeyman192/MBINCompiler/tree/development/libMBIN/Source/NMS
smoky wing
Nice, thanks that's very useful. I really just meant a general guide on what areas each file focuses on. I mean I know I can infer a lot by names, but just wondering what modders have documented. I've casually kept an eye on the modding community for a while, but I'm finally looking into doing some things myself.

it's mostly by memory for tables and other stuff
but it's easy to deduce from the struct names

I was originally planning to have the snapping be more complicated
so that people can have pillars in the middle of the walls too
but it didn't turn out too well so I scrapped it so I don't waste 10 hours more
still gotta do the material so they are colourisable btw

I am very interested in playing around with this.

I still gotta add more snappoints
I swear I probably would become one of the people with most snapping knowledge after messing with this just because how much I'm failing rn lmao

we haven't tested everything but it should be just the that respective block of the save getting sent to the servers\
and when you get to a planet it downloads and sometime gets saved into your save

I like the smaller version of Big Things a lot. I like it much better when the scale is still impressive, yet also feels very "normal". The huge megalith-style planets are a real trip, but it's like those weird exotic worlds - I like them better as rare exceptions. Even the small version seems much too big at times... toxic worlds in particular always seem excessive.

When removing the space fog with the 'cleaner space' mod it causes an incredibly harsh transition in lighting on planets : https://i.imgur.com/hqNOsKP.jpg - Does anyone know where this is just a limitation of the lighting in the engine of the game, or can this be 'fixed' somehow?

@lime mesa Hey, I'm glad you are getting something out of it! I really like the new snow colors. Although it was the easiest part of the mod so far, I just thought the "everything is royal blue" didn't look good at all, (Forgive my trespass HG) and really made cold planets have almost no variety. And didn't go with the rest of the game's color scheme. Thanks for the kind words dude!
umbral pumice
I am really apologize to bother, but i got something small fan project. and would like to show you about what i've done. So i had a plan to list of mods which are coming into a modpack. Not only that. I have every sheets for every category to help people find the essential mods as possible (in my perspective, ofc). It's not completed yet. So here it is the spreadsheet: https://bit.ly/NMS-Experience-Guide
hearty wasp
ok but have you asked everyone for their permission to include the mods in the pack
unless you're doing a unifying patch and letting the user download all the mods from the original pages it's kind of a thing you have to do
not to mention Nexus don't usually allow modpacks because of it containing other people's work in them
umbral pumice
yes, I have read every mods that i put there, i have read the description, as long as the mods linked to the source nexus mods link.. if somehow i did a mistake, i will probably consider whether to remove it or ask privately..
about the case of nexus site, i probably need to consider it too.. i will probably remove the modpack, if it necessary
hearty wasp
if you're not uploading an actual mod there shouldn't be a problem at all
like you have that spreadsheet there already and you can just let people download their mods there and then you can provide a patch mod with only the files needed to make everything work together
not to mention it decreases your workload
umbral pumice
yeah, that's the plan.. it will require a test before i publish it to spreadsheet.

Any mods to remove Abandoned Buildings that be taking up perfectly flat lands?

no

Well they created the perfect flat lands BUT
As far as modding goes I bet one of these guys could figure out how to sub the model and collison out for something nonexistent, or just block them from loading at all and still have the land?
Now that I think of it that seems like a very achievable mod

Why is this happening to me
Trees floating, grass is so late to appear, the draw distance is horrible
I have gamer's mod, i've installed his LOD mod
It's still going so slow to spawn the models everytime i play
I have a good PC, 1070 GTX, etc.
could be that i have terrain tesselation off? i don't think so, but i ask anyways
lime mesa
Uninstall the mod and retry @west notch
If it persists
Uninstall other mods
and see if it still persists
hearty wasp
the LOD mod might be causing the things to load longer
since it gets more stuff loaded
and floating things are just a problem with non-rooted models in general, it's hedious to fix for how little effect it has
it's how the game works, mods simply make em more apparent sometimes
west notch
Unistalling gamer's mod made the game work perfectly

Maybe... There have been beginnings of that in the files for a while, but no mention of it or anything...
waxen cedar
like... I know there are some files for all of that but I'm no modder so I can't tell if those are for some complex stuff or what
something similar to redstone would be neat. And ability to stick it on walls
heavy merlin
So maybe lighting and defence, things to power them, and stuff to transmit power...
Kind of like FO4?
hearty wasp
that's quite an underwhelming "datamine"
seeing how there are models in the files and I have put em in Eucli-ea already
heavy merlin
Yeah, and that was paths of icons... Why not show the actual images?
hearty wasp
probably just couldn't be arsed to actually get em up
but if you want more datamined info here or the modding discord will probably be the best bet you have
since we seem to be the only people who actually mine data anymore

Yes cause the average player doesn't really care about datamining...
Whereas a modder needs to datamine and shit to make their mods

how hard would it be to do something like changing the time how long plants need to grow and what they yield?
night plover
currently thinking about changing grow time off all plants to the same length and changing yield so all plants earn the same value in credits
supple wadi
Hmm, @inland sky, was there typically a slight variation in Hazard Protection charge drop times that you recall? Was checking Next's Hazard Protection drop times in Normal Mode and it seems like it may last a bit longer than the values would suggest, so I'm guessing there's possibly some slight modifiers I'm overlooking
inland sky
It should be the listed value on them x 0.8 in seconds if I remember correctly (the listed value is to deplete 100 charge, but the modules have a max charge of 80)
the base protection varies by the hazard level
supple wadi
Ooh, so the base Hazard Protection will vary vs. the added modules to extend protection?
inland sky
additional modules have the same duration no matter the severity of the hazard, while the base protection varies by hazard level and difficulty mode
atleast thats what it was last time I played, been a while now
supple wadi
I think that's probably still more or less correct, just that I didn't realize the base protection (so just Hazard Protection, no upgrades associated, if I'm understanding right?) varied
inland sky
its very noticeable on extreme planets in survival/permanent, the base protection empties in like 12 sec, while the upgrade modules last just as long as they do on a regular hazard planet
here is the old atlas rises sheet for the hazard protection: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1w3VpyUsaSqhMZpABi7-_LAkbTFYkTOqpEtGv3CpwKVU/edit#gid=0
check the files I listed as source to see if they have changed anything
supple wadi
Yeah, I've been using that as ref. as I've been going over this, super useful even now
So far as I can tell there only seem to be some light changes
Haven't checked every file yet tho
I was mostly trying to get a rough idea of how long the base protection lasted, but seeing as that seems to vary, explains the discrepancies I was observing
inland sky
if you combine the stats listed in hazardtable with the temperatures in the weather definitions you can calculate the seconds it lasts for each biome
though if its unchanged, you can just use the numbers on the sheet
i.e (this refers to the base protection, without any upgrades)
Hazard protection module drains in 7min 12 sec(432 sec) at 49 hazard, -8 sec for each level up to 100, where it drains in 32 seconds
Hardmode hazard protection drains in 3min 42 sec(162 sec) at 49 hazard, -3 for each level up to 100, where it drains in 12 seconds. Normal multiplied by 0.375
That's what I was working on, finding that normal scorched seems to take approx. 8 minutes to discharge base protection, a bit of a jump from what I had expected, but that was going off the modules' calc. it seemed
All things considering the exact duration doesn't matter as much as getting the depletion rate to feel less urgent for what I'm after, so there's a lot of room to work with

I've already included the source links in the documentation.. so if that's what they want to do, they don't need my permission to download those models and import them into NMS.. and then at that point, they can even leave my name out of their mod, which will probably only help them in the long run..
they may need the source links again..

Do you happen to know...if someone is playing an older version of the game, such as Foundations 1.13 (which I am now on my main PC, having backed up my Visions save and game files for later restore) -- are your discoveries likely recorded in the NMS cloud? That is to say, planet naming for instance --- if someone comes to the planet, obv it will look different than I see it as the generation code is different, but would the name be the same / attributed to me?

If your export is accurate - even if triangles are separated - then you're good to go and it's just blender being blender

@steel crypt Will the sunrise and sunset colours mod conflict with Alien Skies mod?
steel crypt
I don't know if alien skies affects sunrises. If so, yes it will conflict. You need to see if it contains/alters DUSKSKYCOLORS.MBIN

alright
steel crypt
With alien skies, if you notice anything other than a blue sky, yellow sun, purple cloud, sunrise then I assume it is altering the same file/conflict.

@median wasp what do you mean? / what are you replying to in particular?

Lag on import.
lime mesa
okay so they don't conflict @steel crypt They actually blend quite well together
steel crypt
Okay cool, I'm glad it worked for you. I'm not making promises, but I am working on an update maybe for sunrises. It's looking cool so far, so check in a couple of days for it. @lime mesa

Alright

Ah ok. The lag on import is fine. Its more that I have some optimisation to do because it takes longer to load than it should.
