Nah I think the devs just thought of those as the cooler looking parts and wanted better ships to be visibly identifiable as higher tier

I wouldn't mind so much if the attachments onto the large variants let you use all the wing types added on
Like the explorer has these coo metal plates that mold to the sides or to the smaller ball looking wings. They could just increase those pieces to attach to the ends of the giant barrels.
At the moment I think you can only get the 4 wing, 4 nodes, 4 solar panels on the ends of them.
Might look a big ridiculous but think about those huge explorer wings added onto the end of the giant barrels.

Is there any mod which makes the NPC dialog progress faster and not make you wait on it as much?
hushed bronze
south vortex
Ooh I like thanks Exosolar!!
Anything that gives more variety is A++ (or should I say S class?) in my book
south vortex
😄
It allows all visual ship models to range from the best to the worst. So you can find a real cool looking crappy ship or a real crappy looking amazing ship (of course looks are subjective, ergo, visa-vi more variety.
fluid wing
i don't know how it works in the game in vanilla to understand what you're explaining me lol
i have only 4 hours in the game, i just went in my first space station
south vortex
Basically the better ships the different looks they have
Or as far as I under stand it. This unlocks all looks for all classes C through S
fluid wing
oh ok, so yo ucan have as much slots as in a S class but in a C class and vice versa
heavy merlin
Normally ships can only have the biggest tier of slots if they have certain parts in their design, which means all the "best" ships are similar. That mod presumably removes that restriction, so any ship could have the high slots.
fluid wing
oooooh so you can actually make a ship how you want it and not compromise on slots
i gotcha
i'm trying to figure that out without being in that part of the game yet :p
hushed bronze
@south vortex Damn you explained it way better than I did, I genuinely struggled with finding the words to explain that effectively lol
"It allows all visual ship models to range from the best to the worst [In terms of both Class and Slots]. So you can find a real cool looking crappy ship or a real crappy looking amazing ship (of course looks are subjective, ergo, visa-vi more variety." Yeah sll designs could be any class already but they were locked into certain max-slot tiers, which is basically what I blew away
A LOT of people hate the huge sidebars on fighters (required part for max slots normally) and the huge smooth barrel shaped engines on explorers (required part for max slots normally) But people had to put up with it because thats the only way you get the best slots. I went ahead and fixed all that mess
heavy merlin
But I think that may mean you get high-slot spawns a lot more regularly.
hushed bronze
Not really, because I didnt bump all the ships to tirer 3, i merged the tiers, so to speak
For example T1 can have 15-38 slots, Tier 2 can have 15-38 slots, Tier 3 can have 15-38 slots
instead of 1 being 15-19 and 3 being 30-38
heavy merlin
As I understood it, the chances of finding a high-tier one was tied to the economy somehow
fluid wing
yeah that's how i understood it
hushed bronze
@heavy merlin Nope, thats the Class
fluid wing
but now i can have a C class with a lot of slots yh?
hushed bronze
Tiers are rationed out based on a general countup with type distribution based on race
heavy merlin
Ah, hm
hushed bronze
@fluid wing You could always have a C with loads of slots, its the hidden Tier system I broke down, not the class system
Class =/= Tiers
I did give a tiny bump to S Spawn rates but thats totally separate from the whole Tier system
heavy merlin
Ok, but before, it would presumably roll a ship, check if it has the large-inventory things, and if so, roll a high-tier slot count... but it can put that slot count on anything now, so presumably the high slots counts appear more often now?
hushed bronze
Its possible the math works out mildly in favor of high slots but I stood around on some trade stations to see how the spawns played out and there were no shortage of junk ships, lol
I didnt exactly run the calculus to find out if there's a 4% advantage or not 🙂
Gotta remember that those T3 spots are now capable of being trash ships too, so It goes both ways
south vortex
Thanks again! Can’t wait to install it!

Also, feel free to send me a far better-worded explanation for what it does so I can use it on the Details page! 😄

Are there any mods to make dialogue instant?
marble seal
Do No man sky have an Webb API, seen people hook thire project up to the wiki but I would like to fetch more data than that..
devout osprey
@abstract hinge , I was asking the same thing a while ago, but now one noticed then either.
devout osprey
@hushed bronze, Gurt and I asked if there is a mod which makes dialog messages instant instead of them slowly scrolling like the modem days before the internet, not about auto-aim. If you or anyone have any suggestions on that it would be nice. I searched both NoMansSkyMods and NexusMods, but had no luck with my searches so far.
hushed bronze
I know. I've seen probably five or six other people mention the text thing, too
do you have a link to the old version
@devout osprey
devout osprey
No, as I said I searched and came up empty. I'm asking for the name of or a link to any version of what I am requesting. I would of course prefer to know that it was compatible with Beyond if possible, but I can test if not. Do YOU have a link to the old version you seem to know about @hushed bronze?
prime jasper
With all the people who asked and noone ever answering probably means there is no such mod
devout osprey
Well, I am interested in what @hushed bronze considers "the old version" and wonder why he seems to be evasive on unhelpful.
lime mesa
Coming here and lowkey throwing shade is probably not the greatest idea to getting any help.
The modders here all do amazing work, I'm sorry you can't see that.
You also have the option to research yourself and create a mod to do exactly what you are looking for.
abstract hinge
I found some Convo regarding an old mod that made dialogue text faster, has not yet been updated
devout osprey
I understand that, but I call it like a see it.
abstract hinge
Search "dialogue in:#nms-modding"
lime mesa
Sure but as I just said, the option for you to research and do it yourself is also an option.
Honestly seeing your response and interaction, I feel that is now your only option.
abstract hinge
😬 hope it's not my only option just for asking
devout osprey
@lime mesa, I did search a lot, but what you're saying is that I don't deserve a non-evasive answer to anything unless I've made a mod? hehe
lime mesa
No, I'm saying you're probably not going to get an answer for more or less demanding someone answer you. These guys here create mods in their own time, they don't get paid for it. They create things to better the experience for themselves and choose to share that with the community.
They all learned how to do what they now know how to do.
A mutual respect goes a long way, getting borderline aggressive because someone is not answering you is really not the right approach in this instance.
devout osprey
I didn't demand anything and please don't insinuate that I did.
I also didn't disrespect.
lime mesa
Well, I am interested in what Exosolar considers "the old version" and wonder why he seems to be evasive on unhelpful.
devout osprey
That wasn't demanding or disrespectful at all. For someone to answer a question with an indication that they know an answer, but are not going to reveal it is the textbook definition of evasive. One of them at least.
lime mesa
Good luck.
devout osprey
@lime mesa, you're quite a passive aggressive guy to be giving me lessons on being nice.
lime mesa
Are you sure you want to do this?
devout osprey
No, you were analyzing me so I was just returning the favor. I think I'm done.
lime mesa
Good answer.
devout osprey
Thanks @abstract hinge for that helpful tip.
south vortex
Thank you very much for what you do for us! @hushed bronze
devout osprey
Don't get me wrong guys. I wasn't trying to put down or be demanding to @hushed bronze as @lime mesa was suggesting. I just thought that what he responded with was evasive. I would have even preferred he come out and say something like "hey dude, you should have searched for this" or whatever may have been bugging him.
lime mesa
🙂
devout osprey
@abstract hinge I really love that in: search tool! Wasn't aware of that. Thanks!

When using the Save Editor, is it possible to upgrade an A or B class ship that doesn't have the best / most slots available to an S class with best slots?
and i guess same goes for capital ship / multi tool

Finally found my home location in Eisentaam, and I'm ready to start experimenting with mods: Non-Cheat Ship Spawns, Getting Head (The Beheading), Dud's Sky - Colors, and Beyond Basebuilding sound like a perfect customization tweak combo :D
...but, what do experienced modders recommend: Mod Manager Download or Manual Download for these things?
modest lintel
personally i do it manually, its easy enough
just remember to remove the disablemods.txt file, create the mods folder, and check which files the different mods mess with in the mod descriptions to avoid conflicts
turbid minnow
Thanks. I was slowly piecing things together, since I'm mostly a console player and never messed with modding games growing up... Never know if one of those mod tools drastically simplifies things or not.

you guys have a mod to increase the space on one slot?

That non cheat ship spawner mod seems really great because it just adds more variety when you're ship hunting 😄
Instead of having to be limited to just a few types
So thank you for making it, it's a great tweak
hushed bronze
Well I mean, its a pretty old mod for me 😄 but back in the day, pushing more than 100u viewing range for grass would just break the graphics engine or something. in short, impossible, didn't even work, and crushed performance for all your trouble. So in part, you can definitely thank HG's optimizations for the possibility of a supercharged grassfix lol
Several people have mentioned using the Extreme GF4 with junky computers without losing meaningful performance so I decided to revisit that possibility

fluid wing
btw, how do mods work online, since there are mods that make the night day cycle longer
hushed bronze
In any case modding is fully unmoderated right now :)
@fluid wingtjat one is weird. See in the new online, there is a clock seed somewhere on the main servers instead of in your own save like before. It mathematically decides what time of day you should have derived from a central time code + your global day cycle duration. Normally this results in synced times but if you have altered cycle timing it completely throws that off

@elder jacinth totally subjective

@floral shoal Save editor can do that because all of your base parts are stored in the save file
Don't expect that to mean its easy though

hushed bronze
Save editor for nms can be googled easily 🙂
errant girder
Sick ty
hushed bronze
Just a tip, i believe you can make a WHOLE base move fairly easily, by moving that base's base computer. You might make alevitated computer but it should move all the parts since they reference the computer as the anchoring point for every part placed in that base
ofc moving the computer is still a save editor hack lol
errant girder
Good to know. To your knowledge are there any performance/texture mods that work for vr?
floral shoal
@hushed bronze my experience with save editor as of beyond update leads me to believe it is a steaming buggy mess. Ever time I load a save file the console spits tons of exceptions, and some saves don't even load.
on another note, have you figured out a patch for the landing pad offset issue?

its not even up to the main deck. its on the ramp through the first doors
oh... no its fixed now. hadn't tried in a couple patches
😄
modest lintel
antimatter reactor* not generator lol
hushed bronze
So I was just now messing with the Frigate Captain terminals, going through the list seeing what else I want to remove buildcount limits from (or actually add some in the case of frigate captain terminals lol)
The other mod you showed me indicates that the game falls apart if you take a 6th mission. So, Im capping several modes at 5 instead of a global 10
modest lintel
ohhh interesting
floral shoal
is it possible with modding to add additional dialogue options that can be selected and initiate a desired item swap? The navigation data guy is insanely tedious. to convert nav data to planet charts is a 1 by 1 process in which the dialogue exits every time and you have to sit there it all over again. I've spent a solid hour converting nav data to planet charts.
I created a mod a back in next to adjust when the exosuit lady tells me about hazard protection, but I haven't really dived into it.
hushed bronze
Alright I believe Ive fixed the antimatter reactor to be placeable without terrain BUT I dont have that unlocked so someone else has to test that
Anyone interested in helping me with that?
modest lintel
I can
modest lintel
kewl i'll let you know in a moment
modest lintel
Still not placeable
hushed bronze
Did you make sure other versions of the same mod are deleted or moved?
modest lintel
Yep
frigid tangle
Does anyone know of a draw distance mod
rugged cloud
modest lintel
let me try running it with just the mod itself on the off chance its conflicting with something else
frigid tangle
Thanks sir
modest lintel
nothing conflicting with it, its giving the same message to build on terrain
modest lintel
loading up 🙂
hushed bronze
Oh sick
modest lintel
placed, and its working
modest lintel
lol first time i've actually made that antimatter thing
its faster than i thought it would be
suddenly 400 antimatter
hushed bronze
400 seriously??
modest lintel
lol yeah
hushed bronze
wow wtf
modest lintel
just keep feeding it enriched carbon and it just keeps spitting out antimatter as fast as you can feed it
hushed bronze
Whats the carbon cost?
modest lintel
uhhh lemme look i already forgot
hushed bronze
I just tested that the gas and oxy generators are free like I hoped too
LOL i warped to the only vaguely-built base I have and everything was power starved and I was like Damn, you, Beyond! lol
modest lintel
i put 10 units of enriched carbon in, i'll know the output in a moment xD
that gave me 80
condensed carbon* not enriched carbon
that's nuts lol
hushed bronze
You got eight AM per single condensed carbon??
modest lintel
seems like it
hushed bronze
That's either a huge error by me or a huge error by HG
goddamn
So hey one more request
modest lintel
sure
hushed bronze
Uninstall the mod and see if the refiner is still producing at that absurd pace
modest lintel
oh yeah good idea
heavy merlin
Heh
modest lintel
alright this is looking a bit more reasonable already
i'll have a number in a moment lol
without the mod, 10 condensed carbon gave me 39 antimatter
hushed bronze
Thats still utterly INSANE only half as much
modest lintel
lol
modest lintel
ohhh that would make sense
i have one hooked up to a teleporter
but the antimatter reactor is just placed on the floor so it should be running off the freighter power
oh wait, it runs on its own power
hushed bronze
Its the only thing in my mod that could cause a perfect double like that
But given that stock is 40 AM per single condensed carbon, I'll go out there and say HG messed up with that one lol
It's probably got a pointer in the rong place or something idk
modest lintel
lol
yeah i think what it is, is since the antimatter reactor has its own built in power from burning carbon, its borrowing what you used for power efficiency for the biofuel reactor
hushed bronze
oh well.... as long as default is pumping out whole suns worth of antimatter Im not gonna bother with it because they'll patch it eventually on their own
Ooooh... it is a biofuel reactor those shortcutting little bastards lol
modest lintel
yeah
hushed bronze
Well if you had an antimatter generator pumping as hard as Tus's then the grass would all vaporize anyway
modest lintel
lol
floral shoal
ya saw
modest lintel
i wonder if that means your gas/oxygen harvesters will have somewhat of the same effect
those use their own built in fuel source if i remember, unless that has changed with beyond?
or i'm remembering it wrong
floral shoal
I know that oxy harvesters have their own fuel still. used one yesterday
hushed bronze
Yeah built in.... which maybe means I could use that as a codebase replacement when I have more time and motivation 😄
modest lintel
lol
floral shoal
you guys never answered my question about dialogue options. do you know if it can be done?
modest lintel
I have no idea
hushed bronze
Im pretty sure yes but I have no idea where to look in order to actually try
modest lintel
I'm not a modder xD
hushed bronze
How bout we just kill the fucker and take the maps
modest lintel
lol
regal lark
If someone created a dialogue skipping mod I would love them forever
floral shoal
everyone would
or at least make the text instant
or faster
anything to speed up the process lol
but im also for killing him. all quintillion of him
hushed bronze
*18 quintillion
OH shit I got four different mods on the trending page, didnt even realize that, makes me warm n fuzzy 😄
floral shoal
after 1 quintillion murders by beating with own limbs, one stops counting, or even noticing they are doing it anymore.
tested and confirmed^
hushed bronze
so im reading this text for school
Phoenix arizona grows at an insane pace and Im just like WHO THE HELL IS MOVING THERE!!!!??

@lime mesa #communities
people who don't like daylight savings time I think, and like zoos
and dry hot weather
hushed bronze
oh baby im down af for that 120 F afternoon wether
floral shoal
phoenix zoo is pretty cool. theres like a 2 foot tall fences area with giraffes in it that you can just walk up to
hushed bronze
I always love when I could die on any random daytime walk down the street just from heatstroke lol
floral shoal
try going to army ait down there
i spent 2 years in it
in the summer your spit doesnt hit the ground, it dries up first. In the winter it hits the ground and shatters.
hushed bronze
not a mod question, and I have no idea lol
floral shoal
@lime mesa you are in the modding channel. I suggest #nms-questions
floral shoal
there does need to be some sort of more obviously indicator. I'm constantly posting in the wrong channel because I forgot I switched to another one 20 minutes ago and got sidetracked
sometimes I'm not even on the right server when i talk
jesus. all the top rated mods on nomansskymods.com are just cheats... "install all these and the game is over. You did it!"
hushed bronze
i know right like infinite power, take all the money bla bla lool
cheatiest thing I made is the ship teleporter range buff
floral shoal
and you'll go to hell for it one day.
hushed bronze
Im burniiiiinggg
floral shoal
ive been looking for one like this https://nomansskymods.com/mods/no-mans-connect-online-location-manager/ just found. hopefully its not crashy
hushed bronze
i normally hate cheat mods but 150 u range on a teleporter I had to build is just worthless lol
I can jump clear accross the galaxy with the people teleporter
floral shoal
the ship inventory access range module? that teleporter? Ya its range increase is a bit too low to be rewarding
hushed bronze
yeah thats the one
floral shoal
i think there just need to be upgrade modules for it
hushed bronze
i have a 1000 u version and a 10,000 u version in that mod pack too
each one has a buffed up build cost too
floral shoal
does the mod just add them to your module build menu?
hushed bronze
not that antimatter is hard to get withthat fuckin generator omg
floral shoal
we dont talk about that, or grass.
modest lintel
lol
hushed bronze
if its already installed then it will be buffed as is
floral shoal
in this game we ignore glaring issues so as not to uninstall the game in rage.
oh ic
hushed bronze
or we get gud at modding 😛
modest lintel
my friends thought i was weird when nms first came out
they all stopped playing it in the first few hours, i kept playing for weeks
hushed bronze
HATERS
modest lintel
i just didn't get bored, i kept exploring lol
hushed bronze
original had a beautiful ambience. with the sound, and the charming music
modest lintel
yeah
hushed bronze
now we get really evil sounding music all the time and the ambient sounds are lame
floral shoal
i was there at release hour. Played for like 90 minutes and refunded. I didn't finally buy it until NEXT, at which point I played for 50 hours and burnt out. I've played another 50 hours now and I still feel like I have things to look forward to.
hushed bronze
Im gonna buy the GoG version whenever it goes on sale again. It makes version switching super easy I hear
and omg NIGHTS in old versions. I lived for them and now theyre just downright disgusting
floral shoal
@hushed bronze are you aware of a build height limit other than the point at which you die from being in space?
hushed bronze
nights look like BUTTRAPE compared to launch..... what the hell
@floral shoal and yeah im pretty sure the range of a basecom is a sphere
floral shoal
ya but the game also ran at 14fps
hushed bronze
optimization and aesthetic design aare different tho
hushed bronze
it can be, but not when it comes to color selection...
hushed bronze
well you're a raving lunatic so ...
hushed bronze
lol
floral shoal
OMG GIV MEEE
hushed bronze
How bout a million items per stack?
floral shoal
can has all galaxies in one planet please I need more thing
hushed bronze
Hey you want every ship forever to spawn maxed out and s class?
floral shoal
now im just getting depressed
hushed bronze
hey you want all the missions to reward 1 billion units, quicksilver and nanites simultaneously?
What if we just disable all sentinels?
floral shoal
now heres a mod that sparks interest https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1178
I could use more mods that carefully increase difficulty
hushed bronze
yeah Lo2k knows how to make good mods without wreecking game balance lol
floral shoal
ok ill look at his list
hushed bronze
most are pretty simple, some are cheaty, worth a look 🙂
floral shoal
only 3 updated for beyond. had already looked at them all
whats your major? how close to graduating? university?
hushed bronze
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/880
he's updated like... 30
Pre-med, still a few years
CU denver
floral shoal

hm. his update patch is out of date then, but he just updated it
nevermind I was just looking at changelog
hushed bronze
I need new grassfix demo pics lol the original set kinda looks shitty compared to what GF actually does no
hushed bronze
no the one that sane people use 😄
floral shoal
oh yuck
modest lintel
I really like the no fade mod, it made flying into planets stop being so stuttering. legit i thought i was going to crash everytime i'd go for a planet lol
floral shoal
that sounds like a hardware limitation I dont have
pretty smooth insertions for me
There is no way to mod out chromatic aberration as of beyond right? its baked in.
I've found silence means no lol
@hushed bronze I just finally ran across your grass mod on nexus. it does look very nice. once I get my 2080ti ill probly load it
hushed bronze
well you see how I could make the grass cutter so fast lol
Open existing mod, clip grass 😄
heavy merlin
Well, the CA, lines, and vignette, but I dunno why anyone would want any of those.
floral shoal
@heavy merlin CA is not an option in the settings. only line and vignette, which I turned off in the first 10 seconds of playing beyond
hushed bronze
It was part of the intended aesthetic and ambience
floral shoal
which can go fuck a donkey
hushed bronze
The Matrix in space. nothing is real
floral shoal
true. its a fair argument
heavy merlin
The CA is gone too with that, though?
floral shoal
not as far as i can tell moo
heavy merlin
Hmm... I haven't noticed it at all after turning that off.

frigid tangle
Does anyone know if there is a mod to disable this stupid portal interferance
I just wanna build a base that I traveled to via portal
hushed bronze
Gotta love how HG gives us portals, and then makes sure there's no reason for anyone to ever use them, ever
hushed bronze
There might be but I don't know any right now
However I know save editing can fuck with it
theres a single variable in the save that True/False's whether or not you're on the wrong side of a portal
frigid tangle
I can use a save editor?
hushed bronze
you can flip it. I hear save editor is not reliable at the moment but I think if you're smart you can get your save open just with notepad ++ or smthing
hushed bronze
apparently HG wants to make sure nobody has too much fun
frigid tangle
Its ridiculous. I hope a modder makes something for us
There are so many cool planets shared on the Atlas codex
hushed bronze
I made 10 new biomes in the last 20 minutes 😄
frigid tangle
cool 😄 😄
Do you know if theres any good mod for draw distance, cause I play on ultra settings and I can still see trees drawing in when I move around
hushed bronze
Yeah some but the way the game handes draw, your only option to TRULY kill that issue is a fog dense enough to block you from seeing to far too clearly lol
No matter how far you draw, the game will load in regions and unreliably and long ranges and you wont solve the "random appearing objects issue"
south vortex
Has any had success with the mod merging utility as of late?
(Holy hell 10 new biomes? That’s insane.
fluid wing
@hushed bronze You need ReShade man
fluid wing
dam nice planet
hushed bronze
I agree this one is particularly good looking imo 😄
fluid wing
is the volumetric a mod?
hushed bronze
the whut now?
fluid wing
i only get fog when i get super extreme storm
fluid wing
Yes
hushed bronze
also Bout to drop the biome mod. Its not the end for the mod but its in a good enough state, people will like it 🙂
fluid wing
south vortex
Nice!
fluid wing
I'm not even trying, too much to figure out which mod will work with the ones i already have
south vortex
Yeah def have to only run it by its self. But sub biomes... am I reading that right?! lol
fluid wing
exo said he had some biomes stuff going on
hushed bronze

south vortex
Of course! UWHD! :0
south vortex
Was In the middle of rendering a video for work. It’s about 95% done then I’ll boot it up 😃
Are you running it with the fog or without?
fluid wing
with
south vortex
Ok I’ll try it with as well and report back
Have you checked multiple planet SF
Planets**?
fluid wing
it makes the whole ui blink aswell
it happens all the time so i'll just remove it see it's the actual cause
yup, i can confirm it's teh cause
south vortex
With other mods or without?
south vortex
Ah dam. I’ll try it too once this is done rendering :/ all the interesting mods come out at 2am lol
fluid wing
maybe we have to use one of them only
https://i.gyazo.com/1af98c00e891895577f05a6d4b76ff36.gif @hushed bronze with only extra biomes this happens
And it seems grass extreme is on this mod by default?
south vortex
Ok done, trying with only the Extra Biomes and not the Fog
So far no flickers
Going to other planets...
“Metallurgic planet”
Actually I got it on the other planet too @fluid wing
fluid wing
yeah he will fix it 😛
fluid wing
you can use fog only tho it doesn't do that bug, it's only on biomes
nah seems like the grass fix is inside the mode already
mod*
south vortex
Hmm now that the sun went down the grass is not flickering
fluid wing
and my first try i had all my mods with it
hushed bronze
Huh. Thats weird i tested like, 40 planets before uploading
south vortex
Never mind it still flickers lol
fluid wing
No worries, have a good night 
south vortex
It’s ok when it doesn’t flicker it’s beautiful! 😃
hushed bronze
@fluid wing Is that happening a lot for you?
fluid wing
yeah i had to remove it
hushed bronze
hm
I know a way I can bring down the range in the mod pretty quickly, I'll do that before I finally sign off
@fluid wing
Dropped the grass range by 30u ( because back in next that space-ground bug was from grass overload )
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1185?tab=files
it will be uploaded in a min or two probably
hushed bronze
Hope that fixes it cuz I gotta crash now 😄
south vortex
Noice!
peak anvil
I just checked out the mod @hushed bronze, and i must say, its ABSOLUTELY amazing! The fog makes it look reaaaaaally good, hot damn.
also could someone link the reddit post again, where someone makes more biomes, lava pits, and returns the dune worm? i wanted to bookmark it but forgot

@peak anvil https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1183?tab=description is it this?
sinful anvil
Rayrod's Multiverse Mod? that's the only one I can think of that may fit the description, but I have no links to it.
peak anvil
thats what i have already
but i listed what the mod has, and if doesnt ring any bells, then shit
"lava pits", "desert worms"... all that are hints to the mod
but the mods recommended dont have that at all
hazy fulcrum
Rayrod's multiverse is not out yet, and probably won't be for some time as Rayrod is pretty much reworking the entire game and stuff like that will take time.
peak anvil
yea, and the mod im actually trying to find again, gave glacial and volcanic biomes
but yea, seems like nobody knows it
steel crypt
Please redownload if you downloaded today. I realized I could fix a vanilla NMS issue with the ship camera clipping through the top of the freighter doorway a few minutes after I first uploaded.
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/507/?
@fluid wing Sorry if I'm confused here...been modding all day/night. Are you talking about my mods have the same name? If so, the first one is several color mods and the second one has several QOL mods. The first one I made is called DUD'S SKY (the QOL one), so when I made my second set of mods (the color one) I named it DUD'S SKY - COLORS.
fluid wing
if i was browsing and seen that name i would just thought i already have it
steel crypt
I hear ya. But DUD'S SKY has been around for....
Original upload 07 September 2017 8:37PM
and so some people know the name. So, they tried the color mod because the name was on it. But I see how it can be confusing.
dreamy tulip
@fluid wing What kind of planets would you like to see?
If you are concerned that there will only be 'earth like biomes', let me quell that concern for ya
fluid wing
i don't reall ywant anything particular, just from what i google i seen only earth biomes, but if you reworkd everything else aswell then it's all 10/10
Isn't it annoying since ytou started on next and on beyoind they changed a lot of stuff, they may change a lot of stuff again with the next update for such a huge game overhaul it's sad 😦
desert umbra
Any chance we could get a creep-world biome?
dreamy tulip
Alright. Lemme elaborate on what's going on, as I'm aware that some people are concerned about that. That's understandable.
So, I have a structure to how I work on things. As Sean once mentioned, it is a lot less difficult to create alien and wild planets - but to aim for something realistic, it is extremely difficult. Like, he mentioned that it is incredibly hard to create an earthlike tree.
Therefore, in those 'earth like' environments that I've showcased... I was merely practicing of doing my own take on in real life photography that I have taken, including various google images, with a bit of an alienish twist to it.
However, rest assured... there will be extremely alienish planets.
I have some examples, if you'd like to see?
peak anvil
ye
fluid wing
Yeah 
dreamy tulip
Here's an old clip of my former 'Overhaul' fan project. The MultiVerse will be superior to it: https://youtu.be/wctlrXOCukM
peak anvil
also @dreamy tulip, is it hard to create something like lavapits that actually give off more heat the closer they are? or rivers that actually have "flowing" mechanics?
dreamy tulip
And here is a link to a photo album that I compiled
^ Don't mind the cover photo, there's more images in there
However, those are just a few random planets. Expect a consistently unique universe of any variety of styles. Alienish or familiar.
It's a lot to explain, but I've written about it in various places (to an extent), one being on this reddit post at the bottom (I haven't revealed everything) - https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/crziq9/how_to_use_mods_in_vr_with_no_mans_sky_beyond_on/
Feel free to ask me questions anytime, if you are curious (:
@peak anvil
I used to have custom water, with custom tides and waves (an unreleased thing - not the released thing) - that required shader modding. Vulkan shader modding is still in experimentation.
In regard to when that was working, it was quite involved, yeah.
Lava generating heat the closer you get to it? I mean, that would likely fall under the category of a custom script event; in which would likely require hardcoded changes to the executable. But I suppose with creativity, one could do something similar
peak anvil
hmmm, sounds hard i guess, if you need someone to test anything, im willing to help anytime :D
dreamy tulip
Oh yeah! I remembered in an old pre-release video, there were purebreed Gek's running around
dreamy tulip
In vanilla it can happen, rarely
So, I just assembled one
Thanks
Keep in mind that this is all old and outdated work
In those photos
From like 4-5 updates ago. What I have learned since then and am working on will make all of that look and feel inferior
dreamy tulip
Those photos are 100% taken in-game without external post processing or filters
fluid wing
man your goals seem like it's a whole other game
fluid wing
"'I've coded my own kind of superformula that morphs environmental assets (inspired by a hard to find pre-release article that I once read, speaking of not even a single blade of grass being identical). Whereas creatures would be morphed by bone structure and flora would be morphed (sort of like how blender can morph 3D models), but on the fly. Rather than depending upon a pool of selectable procedural parts."
crazy
dreamy tulip
Inspired by pre-release
fluid wing
How long have you been workign on that?
dreamy tulip
I've been working on NMS since mid 2016
peak anvil
a biome that would be amazing would be one where gravity gets lowered depending on the spots you are, like the lightfissure planet, but just it reverses or nullifies gravity
dreamy tulip
This project since mid 2016
I eventually took a small break and got hooked on Dreams PS4
After dealing with irl hardships and stuff
But am finally back
dreamy tulip
Unfortunately, gravity is a global setting
There are two settings. Dead and regular planets
In regard to gravity
@fluid wing Thanks a bunch. All is well now!
desert umbra
Wouldn't it be possible to make a new biome for dead planets that uses living planet assets?
peak anvil
what about floating islands with different biome assets?
dreamy tulip
Yeah
My fan project has multibiomes, region specific weather, 3D modeled volumetric weather
25 biomes once blended into one intelligently
Without tanking the FPS on my rig, remaining gameplay consistent, and stylish
peak anvil
and are 3D rendered water droplets on windshields moddable or game hardmade?
dreamy tulip
I'm not sure that I understand what you mean (:
desert umbra
Damn, that's nice.
peak anvil
ill show you a picture
desert umbra
How bad will it tank lower-end hardware, though?
dreamy tulip
We got sand planets in it: https://i.imgur.com/LvMANLK.png

Old overhaul ran fine for me on a low end machine
dreamy tulip
@desert umbra On Atlas Rises it performed better than vanilla for me
It's still pretty much the same
But FPS can vary, depending on the environment
granite sapphire
@dreamy tulip is this something that anyone can use ?
dreamy tulip
However, I'll do my best to make it as consistent as possible
High end rigs are still recommended always, but should be fine w/o
If you can run vanilla
granite sapphire
I have a 1080ti
dreamy tulip
@granite sapphire When I release it, anyone interested in trying it will be able to
granite sapphire
lovely, that's awesome man
dreamy tulip
Also, I am developing a software
Basically, the old overhaul (some said it felt like infinite variety)
My my software will generate infinite overhauls
Upon each iteration, everything will be unique
It will dynamically rebuild my fan project in a unique way
fluid wing
When do you expect to release that?
granite sapphire
I have seen some of your videos, they blew my mind
dreamy tulip
But in actuality, that won't be needed for anyone to do. The first iteration will be infinite in variety
But it is an option
Um
Even static files will be dynamic
Regarding 'release dates' and 'procedural generation'...
I wrote this before...
**
Working with procedural generation can be extremely tedious and tricky. As Sean once mentioned, one subtle change can break the entire universe. Therefore, it takes a lot of time to test and make sure that what has been added meets a certain standard of consistency.
I am convinced that it is not ideal to announce a release date with procgen work until you are fully satisfied with it. The reason why HelloGames was able to announce release dates with their patches is because they had already finished what they were working on and had been play testing for awhile. The first time they did that, it got delayed.**
fluid wing
release date is procedural 
dreamy tulip
What I do have going on is a Patreon for early Alpha testers (who don't want to wait for the full thing)... where I will be pushing out frequent updates to my software.
The full software will ultimately will be public and for everyone and downloadable
peak anvil
fluid wing
oh yeah it's understandable
peak anvil
there you go
fluid wing
what's your patreon?
dreamy tulip
desert umbra
@peak anvil that seems like it would require a rework to the engine
peak anvil
oh damn
dreamy tulip
I don't have an early Alpha ready yet though. That is what I am focusing on.
At the moment, I am currently porting all of the assets from what I had on Visions to my code
granite sapphire
how stable is the beta ?
dreamy tulip
So that I won't need to manually make the fan project ever again
it will just update itself when I click the button
W/o the need for manual updating, like the old days
Which got annoying after awhile
Alpha = bare bones and early (for testing and bug reporting)
Beta = a refined version of the alpha (more stable, but for testing and bug reporting)
In the past, the overhaul had a lot of crashes and issues. However, most of that was due to human error. Making typos while being overtired and working on it.
Using a program prevents that
Human error
The output is always relevant to the input
granite sapphire
well a dollar month is not much to ask, will have to take a look when Im home
dreamy tulip
So, the fan project will be the most stable ever
peak anvil
crashes are normal, they happen here and there, but most importantly you can learn from them
dreamy tulip
And I plan to work on it, hopefully forever
I am also building it for Beyond, Visions, and Atlas Rises
dreamy tulip
I figured out how to get mods working for VR
granite sapphire
oh nice
dreamy tulip
But @marsh eagle released his own method
peak anvil
without a big workaround?
granite sapphire
yeah actually I saw that, there is an easier way now
dreamy tulip
Yeah, without unpacking
peak anvil
:O
granite sapphire
yeah
dreamy tulip
I personally play unpacked because it allows me to modify and test files quickly
fluid wing
so when can the alpha/beta testers try then?
dreamy tulip
I'm going to be pushing out the Alpha (the moment I get this stuff ported over)
I am fixing a few things and added a few things and updating for beyond
Once I wrote the code, I won't need to do it again
fluid wing
dreamy tulip
So, it's just a matter of how fast I can write it
granite sapphire
So I have an 8700K, 32Gb and a 1080ti, how smooth will it likely work for me ?
dreamy tulip
I'm teaching myself things in the process too
and learning multiple languages
