thin viper
waxen cedar
from space to planet is exactly what I meant
thin viper
If you want to sky glide and have details visible,the mod i linked will do it
waxen cedar
but something similar to what was shown in these vids for example
is that even achievable by modding or is the rendering designed in a way that the whole half of the planet you are facing can't be all generated at once?
Well I'll try your mod. Hopefully it doesn't mess up with the synthesis fantasy modpack stuff
thin viper
This is a very tiny planet , so the details are visible
Like i can make it do that,but it will lag a lot after that
waxen cedar
I don't mind. Would be the first time seeing some good lag then
thin viper
Ok i will send it tmw then?
waxen cedar
Allrighty. Pm or here? Some others might also wanna test it
waxen cedar
Okie. Thanks I'll try to remember that
Back in the day I remember rayrod boi telling how he had made that kind of planetary render or I could remember incorrectly and it was just some billion different planet size crap
wintry seal
Question, If I am making a mod that creates a new MBIN file, do I need to add it to the PRECACHE.txt?
weary ruin
No you don't. I believe it is not used anymore at all
formal flax
What alternative world generation mods are currently supported and how do they differ from each other?
What are the differences between the two mods "Fine LOD" and "Increased Draw Distance and LOD"?
EDIT: Just saw that the latter one was updated in August - is it even usable at this time?
left sentinel
Very unlikely, a lot of mods were broken with the 2.2 update
sinful anvil
Exosolar has a lot of colour variation mods as does Jasondude; Synthesis Fantasy by Redmas changes the way planets generate to a certain degree but it'll make your game look different from other people if you want to play online, whereas the other ones keep the generation normal so the game is still similar enough for multiplayer purposes. @formal flax
These are the ones I've tested on my game and all are functional on the current steam release.
(with some GeForce modifiers) this is an example of Exosolar Stratos
(with Geforce modifiers) this is an example of Synthesis Fantasy
left sentinel
Fantasy also changes the terrain or no?
sinful anvil
i think so?
it changes the way asteroids spawn now as well
the page on nexus mods has a feature list
slow imp
It changes the terrain yes
It only uses existing assets that are in the game,
But some assets aren't used in the official game which you will find in fantasy Synthesis :)
thin viper
Will send in a hour
waxen cedar
hoi
waxen cedar
hmm, could someone make a mod that allows us to steal other peoples ships xD
asking for a friend
cyan oracle
don't see how that mod could be made.. a ship has to be owned by a player before they can pilot it..
fossil gate
im installing visual studio, think it will help with making mods?
mighty egret

fossil gate
well thats no help lol
hoary drum
@fossil gate Yes it can help with making mods
fossil gate
i kind of assumed since working on nms mods requires dealing with code in the matrix but thought i would ask to be sure lol
hoary drum
That’s fine. It’s always good to make sure of something

obsidian tree
covert finch
obsidian tree
umm, yeah it's a model I stuck around a planet
waxen cedar
does it have collisions?
cyan oracle
to me it looks more like an atmospheric layer than rings.. still looks cool nonetheless..
@twilit dove IDK if the save editor still works, but that was how I added more tech slots to my stuffs.. but if I remember correctly, I think I had to copy/paste stuff around inside the json editor..
obsidian tree
Collision is kinda buggy on it at the moment due to it not being convex I think
wintry seal
Could you guys please point me out to some mod that added new 3d models to the game? it can be a ship, a base placeable, exotool, etc...

Just finished the main quest after 60+ hours game play. I want to start looking into mods. What do you guys recommend that doesn't drastically change the game play?
marsh eagle
Lo2k's QOL mods is a beginning @proper idol
proper idol
cheers thanks
proper idol
I'm using this essential pack and it's pretty good so far. new planet colours take getting used to though https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1374
formal flax
I think there too many mods out there that change the LOD :/
I just want one to change it on foot, in the ship and thats it.
Is there a mod that changes LOD/spawn distance on AND in the ship
tepid sierra
@proper idol must do jj's bridge. Wish he would redo station ventilation. There are a bunch more but I'm not at my machine
proper idol
cheers @tepid sierra the bridge mod looks great
I would like to try the fantasy mod on a new save, but not having it activated on my old save. is this doable?
sinful anvil
just don't load your old save with the mod enabled; keep a copy of DISABLEMODS.txt and switch it in and out when you want to activate/deactivate it
proper idol
fair enough, thanks
formal flax
Or just use the costumized mod folder when you want to play that specific set of mods.
proper idol
can you elaborate more?
like having a mods folder under a different name, then rename the folder when I want to use that set?
twilit dove
is there a mod to change salvaged data stacks to 9999 ?
twilit dove
Can you use the editor to add a starship to your save?
hushed bronze
im not sure if it can inject one easily, but it can definitely morph a dummy junker ship into whatever you want
twilit dove
I just figured it out!!!!
And it worked!
It worked!!!! No way!
Exosolar! Your mods are awesome by the way.
I just figured out how to inject any startship using the editor into my game.
formal flax
@proper idol Rosareven: like having a mods folder under a different name, then rename the folder when I want to use that set?
I was thinking about something like this. Haven't done it myself yet.
Just try it out yourself 🤓
proper idol
Yeah that sounds like the best way if I want a set for different save
tepid sierra
@proper idol must also do trading post revamp!!
proper idol
I was using the essential pack, then I found that I want to do without some mods so I installed individual ones, and now my game won't recognise any mods at all.
I had the disable mods txt renamed, gonna try to just remove it altogether now
nope still doesn't work... any ideas are appreciated
maybe I'll try a mod merger, one of the mods must have caused a conflict
indigo linden
Hi everyone. Is there any way to change maximum of base elements viewed in game ?
I tried to build something huge in game, 41500 base elements .. But after building about 6500 objects i realized that 15-20% of base elements not displayed in the game ..
maybe there is any way around these limitations ?
hushed bronze
@indigo linden Are they still present at all or just not being rendered?
indigo linden
They exist in game, but not rendered, like if there's some limitations on how many blocks can be viewed at a time
I've attached a picture in #nms-questions
hushed bronze
Yeah that is a normal behavior for NMS, I don't personally know of any workaround for it, but best of luck finding one 🙂
indigo linden
Tnx %))))
hushed bronze
(OFC if you do find one, probably gonna cost serious performance penalty)
indigo linden
I know, but i need it only for taking screenshot of what we've built
Anyway i allmost given up already ^ ^

@hushed bronze didn't you have a mod that made scanning faster? I cant find it lol
i would make one but I had to reset my PC and lost all my mod tools etc

native vine
Hello, I am curious about modding NMS but I'm not sure where to start... If anyone has some advice on this or favorite mods/modding sites I'd very much appreciate it if they would @ me with a link to it. At the moment I'm mainly interested in graphic mods, especially mods that make the procedural generator more realistic. Thanks!
proper idol
Nexusmod has everything you need for nms mods
I recommend the essential pack, even if you just look at the mod list in the essential pack and get individual ones separately
One thing you wanna know without knowing how to mod merge is that, if you prefix mod file names with underscore, they take priority. More underscores, higher priority
native vine
@proper idol Ok thank you, and I do have one question. Am I required to add the underscores or just leave them all at the same priority?
Also I can DM you a pic of what I've got so far.
proper idol
It'll take some trial and error to see which ones you actually need to prioritise. You can start with same priority to check. In my experience Gumsk's Gameplay Globals needs to be on highest priority if you want to use it. If it's the same priority with anything else it just become non-existent
native vine
Ok, I'm gonna DM you my list so far, I have not done anything other than download them and move them to MODS folder.

I wonder how we could make this game look realer than those minecraft shaders that could light your computer on fire

Are there game logs anywhere that'll tell me if mods are conflicting with eachother?

no but there are mod conflict checkers on the mod sites

Yep, took a while to figure out all the setup required to get it to work though. Anyway, your mods are great thanks for the hard work.

Hi all, quick question, is there a mod that allows you to own more ships than 6 please?

no there is not
there is a mod that lets you change the look of your ship to a "seed" of design you want

Im not ready to use seeds, maybe when i get bored of playing with whats there already, I'll start looking into playing with seeds. But thanks for the suggestion

thin viper
Has hello games decided to release something to make modding go beyond simply editing values in files
marsh eagle
@thin viper we can create complex script action chains since release 2016 version but very feeew modders use these options except me and maybe 1-2 others
thin viper
You mean entity based triggers?
marsh eagle
Thats what I mean. And you can aslo use entity to entitx communication (broadcasting) and such things
thin viper
I meant more like adding custom NPCs, better NPC and ship AI , better generation controls etc
Like more planets per system
marsh eagle
- Custom NPC's: Yes possible, you can create new models with the blender plugin and add them to the game with custom sounds. For the animations you need to use some tricks
- Better AI: You can add more clever speech texts and options of course. Letting the npcs react to the player can be done via trigger gcplayernearby or beenshot event e.g.
- Better generation controls: Yes possible, see shaidaks generation e.g.
- More planets per system: See "GenerateForcedNumberPlanets" in GCSOLARGENERATIONGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN
left sentinel
what about custom upgrades? I saw someone trying to work on it but at the moment he's having trouble with making upgrades that straight up "disable" the hazard shield from depleting
thin viper
Once again none of these allow to add anything new other that copy pasting existing stuff and changing values in them
Cant even make the space station NPCs walk around randomly
marsh eagle
@thin viper you can do that but noone takes the effort. It's a small modding community. You can force a walking animation on npcs and trigger a walking direction or animation change (like dealing with ipad) either timed or when reaching a specific position. Randomizer is possibly by a superposition of several state change timer scritpts that trigger animation changes

Y TY sir
Now Pls tell me how Deep Space V2 retains a spot on the second page of trending when it hasnt updated since launch month and absolutely doesn't work at all?
Its kinda hilarious
steel crypt
It has a lot of downloads! ....maybe it's that simple.....it is popular because it is popular. (Lemmings to the sea)
steel crypt
and probably a lot of people reinstalling windows and downloading Vulkan converters and checking their anti-virus programs to fix it.
hushed bronze
what amazes me though is that it would have to see around 20 endorsemesnts per month to stay ranking so high in trending

any fps improvement mods?

robust aspen
Hello :) I think you can help me. I don't quite understand the mods yet. what is it like when i download mods but want to play with my girlfriend? we both play on normal but want more variety in the planetary generation. heard in multiplayer it could crash if another player visits the "custom planets". Are there problems if we both use the same mods or just one of us? Tyvm
left sentinel
dunno where you heard that from
both of you should use the same mods, and you'll see the same modded content
if a non modded player visits that planet all that happens is they will see you walking on air mining invisible things
marsh eagle
I would avoid planet gen changing mods because when they break due to updates it may happen that your base is in the ground or air. One exception are mods that use amumss lua scripts like shaidaks generation because these will with high probability be updateable easily with a few clicks and are more future proof.
marsh eagle
That its for the latest game updated called synthesis
left sentinel
beyond is 2.0, we're at 2.2 right now that was called Synthesis which is a large patch but not an overwhelming update
2.24 if you want to be more exact
twilit dove

20 versions...sweet jesus
hushed bronze
Well, forming the finalized panels design was 95% of the work. Making a bunch of alt versions after that was cakewalk by comparison
maybe 25 mins to round up all the text for the white-to-black conversion to be able to make light colored panels
steel crypt
quick question for ya?
hushed bronze
No, only medium-duration questions are permitted
steel crypt
do you think most people would sacrifice the photo mode filters for more in-game filters? AKA if I were to learn LOL (maybe not) how to make those complicated bastards, and replace the photo mode filters with custom ones for use in-game....
I wish we could name more but the names are in the exe and that's what it will use
hushed bronze
Well, you can make photo mode use whatever filters so you could make the customs and just leave them available to photomode
steel crypt
yeah, I was actually thinking the same thing just now LOL
Do people really use them much? the vanilla photo ones?
hushed bronze
The photo mode wont show proper names for a bunch of them though like you said but I think most players understand that stuff like that can sometimes happen when we cheat the built in limits
steel crypt
I can rename them for photo mode. You can change the names in the language file. That's how I made the storm filters available in photo mode and say "Frozen Storm" etc in photo mode.
hushed bronze
In that case I think you're basically golden
mod users will never know what words are used by the code anyway
Im thinking of making a new and improves Stratos next. There's a lot I've learned about making that kind of mod by making the complete first version
steel crypt
There has to be like maybe 8 or so filter slots to use
Okay, thanks for the input, I might try to learn. It looked hard AF when I glanced at it
hushed bronze
well theres 32 in the table and at least 36 overall....
TBH I dont think its all that hard at all, unless making the actual DDS files tuyrns out crazy hard
A few filters like the BINOC filters dont land in the table
steel crypt
that's the thing. It's (i'm very new at making dds stuff) weird like it has many layers and I don't understand the layer weirdness and there are many many types of these filters....trying to find the right type was already hard LOL
hushed bronze
Im pretty sure those filter files are pretty much using industry-standard concepts so it may be helpful to look up graphics filters info that is actually about entirely different games
hushed bronze

marsh eagle
I would try this. Look into the damage and projectile tables somewhere in the metadata folder. THen look into the freigter entity too.
balmy sonnet
been staring at the turret files and it looks like its linked to a xml file, but i cant find the xml file
freighter files have nothing linked to dmg
probably a flag or something in here thats set to say dont do damage unless its a player
set the freighter to be classified as a player projectile
hopefully that will let it do its true damage

I made those filters try to be “natural” or “plausible” for the biomes, but if you ever wanted to make some let me know and I will try to hook you up with software (free) links and tutorial you or something. There is a lot of potential there. There are 13 photo filter slots and you can do some crazy crap with filters.
left sentinel
Hey dud
steel crypt
Yo 😜
I made a filter just to see how weird it could get and shifted hue on all colors to a random hue and used super high contrast then shifted the colors to be “neon” like, so that it was pitch black with neon edging on all objects. That was weird to walk around in.
marsh eagle
Haha interesting @steel crypt any screenies ?

@marsh eagle I didn't get one... 😦 but I will if I do it again. I will be messing with them.

Let me just throw my hat into the ring here. I'l like to present to you a mod of my own. Nothing special but I hope if you give it a shot you'll enjoy. Right now I know it is compatible with Cave Improvement mods by JustSpaceThings and with some tweaks it is usable with exosolars grass and redmas' fantasy biomes mod as I have integrated both of those with my personal version of the mod. This version though I feel adds some great things, improvements to clouds, animals, characters, terrain, Flight and sentinels. Enjoy and let me know what you think if you give it a shot.

@hushed bronze do you know if model modding is possible, or just DDS and UI arrangement at the moment
i have found mbins that contain model data but cant make it readable for blender since it's all ascii
cobalt condor
https://github.com/monkeyman192/NMSDK @lucid quarry there are a lot of limitations still, but this allows you to open models from the game files in Blender, as well as export models to be usable by the game

so it's all just scene-by-scene at the moment, then

Have you messed with sun size? I never got results I wanted with it, but I didn't do much testing.
Hmmm maybe variations in the ....god what is that called...the speed that the sky color blends, or horizon colors?
hushed bronze
@steel crypt What I did is allow the true sun to appear. In other words, if that star systems actual sun is giant (like through using Expanse), then it will be visibly the same giant star from the ground, too
its actually one of my favorite aspects of Stratos that almost nobody even realizes 😄
steel crypt
See, Lol I'm not going to put this in a mod 😉 (In-game pic) @hushed bronze @marsh eagle

If anyone wants to play with these, here are mods for them. It will make your default filter like in the pics, so go to a lush planet and it will work. Remove the mod after you throw up and all will be normal again. I don't have a pic of redHell, you'll just have to go see it.

Wow nice with mod pack function. Is it using symlinks/hardlinks like vortex?

cobalt arch
is there a mod that lets you auto repair frigates ?
or repair frigates with a push of the button
having more 4 or 5 frigates is a nightmare
hushed bronze
@cobalt arch Not that I know of but it may be easier than you realize to avoid damage
Game files show that, even during expeditions of any of the four specialist types mentioned above, expeditions will randomly include occasional encounters of other types, which means that all expedition fleets should avoid leaving extreme weaknesses in any stat.
Every mission is composed of multiple "encounters" each of which has a 30% chance of being different from the specialization
cobalt arch
hmm ok
can be hard seeing you can't choose what type of frigate you get
i get mostly industrial and explorer. not so much combat
hushed bronze
@cobalt arch You do realize you can buy more frigates....
cobalt arch
i know. i mean have to keep bumping into new freighters to get more types of frigates to show up
so far all i got to choose is industrial and exploring
hushed bronze
The Frigate types seem to correlate to the dominant race of the system much like starships
steel crypt
@hushed bronze looked at the terrain textures. Mind blown. Way beyond my level right now. I might be able to edit it and save it properly, but that's a big if. I don't have the skills to make the normals which I think they are using for tessellation.
I'm having some issues saving it properly. It's like it's not a standard format. I think gregkwaste made a manual import emporter for them but he is hard to get ahold of. Even so, it would take a dude good at making textures to make new ones.
hushed bronze
Yeah I had heard a while ago that terrain textures were super weird even for people who understand the standard practices and creation methods for normals and all that
supple wadi
@hushed bronze I think...Don't some of our tools have the means to create lists of .pak contents, so .mbins, which might allow one to get a quick overview of whether same files are being modified across mods?
I want to say there are some .bat files working with psarc.exe that do that for the core paks in PCBanks, which with some slight tweaking might also work for mods
hushed bronze
Could have sworn proper mod conflict checkers were a thing

I think they may be, but I've not really used any of them

Here's a pic of prototyping a brand-new totally tame regular ass blue sky 😄

You will just have to wait at least a day 😛

That looks nice!

Midnight is when I shower/dinner/watchTV/sleep
Im mostly just accepting that the way to make more balanced cloud and light is a more convoluted process of re-calculating base colors than I would have liked
left sentinel
see the thing is, I loved the stratos mod but most times it just looked ugly because of the messy clouds
so then my option is to just remove clouds
hushed bronze
You mean the high altitude ones?

I put a link right on the stratos page for a mod that cuts either tyope of clouds individually
ofc using both cuts all 😄

The only thing I've ever had against Stratos is I can't summon my freighter into low orbit anymore. I like seeing that thing fill up the whole damn sky.

@hushed bronze I'm compiling a infographic chart of the different biome types and what you can expect to find on them. The wiki is helpful to a point but i'm noticing some inconsistencies.
The source of the info came from that MBIN file. I dont have the game on PC (I'm a PS4er) so I dont' have access to these files. I was hoping to get that file and do a bit of digging and draw my own conclusions

well you wont find that in text but I can give you the biome files. Theres loads of deprecated data though that you cant tell is deprecated by looking
@stable plaza You will need to decompile the files within that tho

I'm not sure this is the right place to ask. I've discovered two of the mods I'm using are incompatible with the rest and they both edit the same thing- which none of my other mods seem to (I could be wrong about this). They both edit different lines in NMS_REALITY_GCPRODUCTTABLE
I'm not really sure how to go about fixing it, though. I'm new to all this but like to learn my way around adjusting mods to my tastes
At this point I'm at a loss. I see the relationship between the problem mods but I don't know why they can't change they file or how to make it so they can. So any assistance, or even pointing in the right direction of where I should ask, would be appreciated
hushed bronze
@candid bridge Have you done any degree of mod-making yourself?
(Also which two mods are htose?)

not for no man's sky. Just got the game for christmas and just decided to start messing with mods this past week.

Do they each work solo? The new update supposedly blew up all the stack increasers yesterday
candid bridge
huh! I didn't know that. Let me check quick. I know the stacks had worked a few days prior but I assumed something else I added made it stop working
hushed bronze
@candid bridge BTW Here's my reccommendation: DO NOT start trying to build your own mods for NMS until you actually get at least somewhat bored of NMS. Perusing the entire file archive can kinda ruin it for you 😄
candid bridge
I will take that to heart. I'm still enjoying it a lot so far
Also, neither will work on its own. Instant mod conflict.
hushed bronze
Yeah no I mean use the stack one all alone and see if it works

I did. I tried the iconsfix by itself, game immediately told me there was a mod conflict. Same when I removed iconsfix and tried the stacks by itself
no other mods in the folder

Do you mean the "mod warning page"?
Thats not a conflict alert, its just telling you that HG isn't responsible for any weird shit mods might cause

stable meteor
whats that
stable meteor
oh is that a new mode
mighty egret
its pretty old
stable meteor
"unlimited health and resource"
well I guess I'm looking for something in between
not unlimited, but easy to get and plentiful
and death allowed, etc
mighty egret
are you playing the game to explore or for the shitty survival mechanics?
You are better off playing creative trust me
mighty egret
you can do that in creative
stable meteor
but yo ucant die
mighty egret
yes i know
buut
I'll see if there's a mod that increases resources
if I find one i'll ping you
stable meteor
mighty egret
I doubt there's any recent one
stable meteor
I'm not sure what this mod does https://nomansskymods.com/mods/more-resources-from-asteroids-deposit-analyze-scan-faster/
mighty egret
dont use that website
stable meteor
but it sounds lkike maybe?
mighty egret
its terrible
use nexusmods
every mod gets updated there first
nomansskymods has been forgotten
stable meteor
those two mods are the only ones I found that could possibly give more resource
but they aren't on nexus mods
could they simply not work anymore?
stable meteor
ah i see, thats probably why it wasnt working lol
thx
is it easy to convert them to the new version?
I have psarc tool and mnbin compiler
hushed bronze
@waxen cedar Yes, in normal play you can summon it into the upper atmosphere 😛
hushed bronze
Satellites would drop out of orbit in a day at that level lol 😄
waxen cedar
but like, I remember back in the day there was a glitch that allowed you to summon your freighter really close to the planet when you flew to it with pulse drive and pressed summon right as it automatically slowed down when arriving to the planet
it was a glitch in 1.1 I think
hushed bronze
I still see people with their ships wedged into the surface so IDK
waxen cedar
Yeh but I've not been able to do it after 1.1.something
like
tried many times
I bet people have disabled the entire prevention system somehow
sadly it can't be disabled as easily as base building limits
and I'm too lazy to delve deeper into the world of modding
Just wondering if there was a mod that disables the summoning restrictions
hushed bronze
probably but I would bet on bugs before mods with the pics Ive seen
true mauve
@stable meteor https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1426?tab=files This may work for you.
tepid burrow
Any recommended camera mod to remove the head bob/ or camera shake
hushed bronze
Yeah the one that says "no camera shake" 😛
copper crescent

true mauve
I've been having an okay time with this camera mod : https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1216
Although I had to change the StickLook angles to 120 because 180 seems to allow you to swing the camera past what I would consider 180 (looking straight back) which annoys me.
polar pelican
I'm working on a mod whenever I can, for a unique visor vision. Does an 80's retro Far Cry Blood Dragon look sound better, or something like the Terminator?
hushed bronze
Seems to me you could do all of the above if you felt like it.
If you're doing frame graphics
zinc mortar
is anybody using Shaidak's generation currently? Are there any other mods that are newer that do the same thing better?
zinc mortar
@hushed bronze do you have AMUMSS files for your mods such as abyss/expanse/etc?
hushed bronze
I don't but its only because I am retarded at code. 😄
zinc mortar
fair enough, no worries!
fringe sail
Did the most recent update break any mods?
hushed bronze
not many but a few
hushed bronze
If anyone has a chance, I would love to have some help verifying that a new Beyond Basebuilding version is performing as expected
junior grove
I'm downloading it from the Nexus now.
zinc mortar
is there a save editor compatible with beyond/synthesis? nmsse looks like it might have last been updated for next?

robust aspen
hey, maybe someone can help us. my girlfried is playing first time after patch and she lost all of her progress, including the quicksilver stuff, language and craft able stuff like u can learn in fabric or during the quest. is there a solution to fix this?
zinc mortar
don't save it. Open up the old save with the save editor linked above you and see if the progress is still in there?
lime mesa
Hey, can anyone link me to a mod that works on the latest version that skips the three-hour tutorial and gives you all the nescessary blueprints for you to go out and explore?
quick ether
Does anyone know any good environment mods?
hushed bronze
@quick ether Just don't take your PC outside in the rain
dire epoch
That seems to work pretty well
quick ether
Okie dokie
What I don't get about environment mods
Will your base look really weird to other players?
@hushed bronze
waxen cedar
Well it might be way below the terrain or high up in the sky to others
I went to do a community mission and people were running below ground for me
hushed bronze
@quick ether The environment thing was a joke,. but the bases built with Beyond Basebuilding should appear normally to others online, since it only edits the rules your editor follows in placing items, and does not fundamentally make any changes at all to the objects themselves.
Base mods that break online viability typically add new parts that an unmodded online player cannot see because the saved base data would reference part names that don't exist normally without the mod, for example
@waxen cedar Thats only if the mods change the terrain or the planet type (which can change terrain just because some types have different terrain options inherent to them)
Many mods like sky color mods or rain-behavior-changing mods would do nothing in that regard
quick ether
Thanks man
What do basebuilding mods actually do?
I see a ton of different mods and some seem to just ruin the game but others are pretty cool
signal pawn
Anyone here use CheatEngine?
hushed bronze
Yes, some, including me if I ever bother to learn it like I should have ages ago 🙂
signal pawn
I used it previously, like 9 months ago and it worked fine. I mainly just use the No Pause on Loss of Focus, but for some reason its not working
true mauve
So, there's a texture flashing around in my field of view when I'm running in first person, looks like a part of the backpack refiner. Is there a mod that fixes this?
hushed bronze
I feel like I did actually see one, but you will have to do your own nexus digging
true mauve
Have dug, no luck so far. Just trying to save myself some time before I go digging into the game files.
hushed bronze
TBH a lot of people have issues with the portable doing buggy things, so it might be a better option, time-wise to just rely on it minimally and use base refiners more often than not
It is a pretty likely target for bugfixing in upcoming updates too, because the portable refiner is new
patent flint
did the no mans sky mod website go down ?
hushed bronze
yeah IDK it has like 10% of the attention nexus has for nms mods
even though Ive been thinking I should carry over my more-meaningful mods anyway
@patent flint Also I can confirm I cant seem to load it right now either
dreamy wind
Real quick question, if I install a mod to remove the play space warning in VR and play with my friend will that mess up the game?
true mauve
@dreamy wind It should not.
steel crypt
That site sucks bad. It’s easier to find a date with a hot local senior there than a mod.
true mauve
Senior citizens?

Gleam you are one of them

I guess this counts for the modding channel - threw this into the game a minute ago:

any mod that makes the terrain literally unplayable?
like super high peaks and weird canyons
etc

Hmm, so now people could mod new trails?
true mauve
Uhh, probably.
leaden laurel
I must try to Lua this, if it's not yet lol
hollow yacht
Is there a mod for scanning (to classify) things faster?
I'm looking through nexus mods right now
true mauve
hollow yacht
does anyone use this mod? https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1382
junior grove
I tried it once, but it was nothing to write home about.
hollow yacht
care to elaborate?
junior grove
It's just regular old NMS with a different coat of paint, really. It has "improved visuals" which I feel are already done better by other, smaller mods. It has a "new" exocraft which is basically a nomad that looks like a nautilon. You have options for different starter skins which become redundant as soon as you get to a space station. It's just... a lot of unnecessary junk, really.
I mean if you like the way it looks, go for it. Just don't expect it to radically change how you play the game.
