@obsidian tree Is there a list of MBINs that have been updated over time? I can check SteamDB and see which PAKS have been touched by each update but not which MBINs in them have been, far as I can tell.
Trying to see if I can update or rebuild Back to Foundations - assuming it's broken since it's nearly a year old.

is it just me or has the post-next version always had multicolored atmosphere layers?
or am I just seeing things in the hopes of a variation update?

You're just seeing things. Help me fix BTF and you'll have all the variation you could ever want.
It'll be like Foundations again, without losing all the cool new stuff.

@tame siren desolation broke BTF mod?
tame siren
I'm just assuming something broke it along the way but I could be entirely wrong. It's been a year and several updates big and small?
@hallow pumice I don't know how to check which MBINs have changed since last August, so I'm operating under the assumption it's not entirely working for Desolation
I assume it will function in Desolation, but if it hasn't been updated for it (it hasn't been) then there's things that will be different or missing.

Terrain most specifically

It mainly changed voxel gen file. I know it worked in eco mech

is there a mod perhaps that makes the tethered flight mode reset to center if its not moved in one direction? a bit like the relative mouse mode in elite dangerous.
waxen cedar
I began to wonder why the system skybox is affected by the position on galactic map
How is it calculated. What determines the star positions on skybox. What direction on the skybox is towards the center?
Because I have been in that one system various times that doesn't have systems around it on the galactic map and you can't see any stars while in space
hoary drum
Hmm. I wonder why it touched that stuff?
Its really cool that they are able to have the skybox be accurate to the galactic map
waxen cedar
But what purpose does it serve? How does it determine the stuff? If someone were to mod extremely dense galactic map with systems everywhere, would the skybox fill with as many stars too?
sweet cypress
So as it turns out that mod that removes HUD notifications doesn't remove them from the scanner and I'm actually very grateful for that
You can still understand what it is you gotta do but it's not trying to get in your face constantly
hoary drum
But what purpose does it serve? How does it determine the stuff? If someone were to mod extremely dense galactic map with systems everywhere, would the skybox fill with as many stars too?
@waxen cedar It would actually yeah
Since the game would generate based off of the parameters for the galactic map. So if you downloaded a mod that made it really dense then you would see that in the sky box
waxen cedar
This is weird. Most of the playerd don't even know about such feature
Nobody would even notice if they changed it to a pre-made skybox image
hoary drum
Wouldn't blame them. Its hard to spot unless you're paying close attention
waxen cedar
old builds seemed to take in count the distance to those stars
they had clusters within nebulae and stuff to render in system skybox. Those don't show up at all.
They could really make some interesting skyboxes

Also, sparky is the one who actually did the updating this time around, so credit to him for sure 🙂

@tame siren The teleporter didn't need power until the power update, and then the Desolation update included a near-clone of that for the teleporter to place on vanilla freighters

@grand estuary Just sent you a friend request
waxen cedar
Did anything interesting appear with the latest hotfix?
steady elk
I found a json file to change layout of a freighter, but it wont save :/
fallow meadow
@steady elk Can you be a bit more specific? You found your layout in the Save Editor Raw JSON, or did you find something in the game's source files?
undone sparrow
Is there new datamined stuff other than summoning pet
steady elk
@steady elk Can you be a bit more specific? You found your layout in the Save Editor Raw JSON, or did you find something in the game's source files?
@fallow meadow I think I already figured it out, I use the blender plugin now to edit nms things. However, do you know where I can find more json files like layouts for freighters etc?
fallow meadow
@steady elk You can only have one freighter per save, which is stored in the Save Data the same way a normal base is stored. It is in the exact same location as well, just goes by a different number in the array of bases you have made. When you look in the Save Edit Raw JSON, you go to the 'PlayerStateData > PersistentPlayerBases' and check each of them listed. You can recognise a freighter base by the first parts listed, where you will see the following near the top:
"ObjectID":"^AIRLCKCONNECTOR"
You can copy that full base data into Blender and you will have your freighter base which you can edit and paste back in.
The only things you can edit with the Blender plugin are bases, either planet bases or your freighter base.
steady elk
Ohh alright thanks a lot!
Is there a site with premade base files? Or I can only edit my own one?
fallow meadow
For as far as I know, there is no website that shares creations, although it would be really cool to have I think. We could even create small templates and share them. As it stands however, without any place where base saves are shared, you basically just use it for your own custom edits.
round sinew
when you use blender, can you get everything done? eg. power cables too?
that sort of details?
or is it just general placement of objects..
and other stuff?
😄
fallow meadow
Oh yes, there are basically no restrictions at all when using Blender.
You can use any parts you wish for a freighter base for example, although have to make sure things connect properly between planet parts and freighter parts. There are actually no range limitations either, where in-game you have max 1000u or so. You can go all out basically.
sudden wasp
Do you think it’s possible for the NMS blender plug-in to include parts that are in game but missing so far - like the ruin modules in Eucli-ea?
round sinew
sounds awesome. just get some minimal base startup templates or something, and i'd be good to go.
fallow meadow
@sudden wasp You are restricted to parts that work in a vanilla game, which includes some of the parts that used to exist. Custom parts or parts that are made available through modding can also be used, but have to use the mod and added separately to custom models or it won't work. Of course with modded parts, only you will see this, other players without the mod won't
sudden wasp
Yeah, just like Eucli-ea. also, the save editor has a backup function for bases, that could probably be shared among players
round sinew
a website with like base blueprints would be sweet.
fallow meadow
Yes, sharing is certainly possible. Using modded parts is possible with use of the Blender Plugin as well, but not provided by default
round sinew
shared creations in general really
fallow meadow
Here is an example of my freighter base in Blender
You can really go crazy with it. Scaling, rotation, parts, size, range, no restrictions pretty much
round sinew
yeah, i feel the game is lacking scaling and rotation options
fallow meadow
Although mods are great to allow you very similar while doing it in-game, I am not really into mods and actually prefer Blender because it makes it so much easier. Of course I check back in game a lot to ensure the result is good
round sinew
with the in game build mode
sudden wasp
Agree. I start all my bases in blender, only add decorative stuff in game
round sinew
also, blender doesn't give a damn about terrain?
fallow meadow
No, you dont get to see the terrain, because that would be really hard to accomplish. You could of course place some parts in strategic locations in-game, then load it to have a rough idea.
sudden wasp
and sometimes interior stuff, if I don’t plan ahead well
round sinew
eg. wanted to place a cuboid framework and game wouldn't let me build for some reason, invalid position. i looked at the ground multiple times, and i couldn't see anything that blocked it.
if i loaded that base in blender, then added the cuboid framework in that same spot, it would let me right?
"it wouldn't give a damn about the terrain"
that's what i meant
fallow meadow
Yup, without a problem, because you do not have the in-game restrictions
round sinew
yeah, thats nice. sure, just get some stuff done in game to get the general layout right
then open it in blender and edit away
fallow meadow
Yes, sometimes I find a good location and make a rough start in-game to work from. Other times I just have a great idea for a base and look for a location after.
round sinew
then you just plunk down a base computer, go back to blender and add it in
yeah, sounds so easy 😄
fallow meadow
Exactly
Want planet wide base? I made one with a teleport loop that goes fully around the planet 😂 Just a single base, and kinda hard to work with in Blender due to the scale for a planet with a radius of 65000u, but it can be done:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JriGpaxjau8
fallow meadow
I do crazy stuff, which I think you are aware of by now
fallow meadow
I will not detail all the tricks I know, because you can understand how it can be used for big time 'trolling' as well
round sinew
this one's "low planetary orbit"
telep'orbit?
oh!!!
is this you in 1st person teleporting around??
you're breaking the game dude
fallow meadow
Yes, it is the correct link. I use 32 sets of short range teleporters, rotated around the planet core at 65000u radius. So basically I get an automatic teleport around view to see the full planet. Could be used for Hubs to create a nice teleport network, visiting bases spread across planets

Hey! I want to install some minor visual mods (like the dark space one), but I don't know if they are compatible with the last game version or not.
Is there any easy way I can check that, besides trial and error? Thanks!

fallow meadow
I could even go to other planets in the same system if need be, but distances are a multiplication of huge as it already is for a single planet. Could teleport to Space Stations and other fixed system positions as well.
round sinew
should state if it's 2.6 ready on the mod page, @novel hedge
sort by last updated too
yeah, blender's too powerful of a tool to troll with. it could do some damage.
fallow meadow
MBINCompiler was only recently released, so some mods will take some time updating. As said, check the dates when they were last updated if a mod does not work
And yes @round sinew but I try to avoid talking about what can be done. Some things I have shown, could already give ideas, let alone me detailing how exactly I do things
novel hedge
Cool! Thanks for the help, guys!

fallow meadow
I do upload bases, not my test cases. I am not really into MP myself either though, but i love to share the cool things
fallow meadow
No problem, you're welcome
steady elk
Can you edit maneuvrability in the json files?
fallow meadow
@steady elk You could possibly edit some of the values for installed tech to add more bonus or give a higher base value. Alternatively you could consider modding or installing a mod that changes this in the game source files.
Save editing is limited to the data exposed to you, so not everything will be possible.
steady elk
Do you know what values would give more maneuvrability in stats?
Not sure what to look for
fallow meadow
No clue of the top of my head. Not even sure if maneuverability itself is available in any of the data. I think you are limited to being able to get the best possible upgrade for the Pulse Engine, because the value for maneuverability is likely not exposed.
Just had a quick look, but the values itself are not exposed, so you can only give yourself the best possible upgrades that alters maneuverability. This is something you'd have to get a mod for or create one yourself
tame siren
@steady elk Something that will help but not entirely mitigate the issue of maneuverability is a mod I made, which adjusts the weighting of whether an upgrade module will be high or low stats. I changed them all to Minimum Stats Are Super Rare, causing better stats to be more common. You could use that and go find some Pulse Engine upgrade modules.
vocal jewel
Is it safe to install mods that alter planets mid-run or should you start a new game?

has anyone made a freighter module like freighter teleportation module, where you can access the freighter from a planet if the freighter is in the system? lol

You mean teleport to it? You can't

I thought you already could? Just need the matter beam or whatever it is called
hard harbor
really?
im pretty new so wasnt aware that existed
i just know that having to dock with it to access the storage is really tedious lmao
vale iron
I don't use freighters much, but it's called something like that
hard harbor
sweet ill look taht up thanks
vale iron
No problem
tame siren
I've teleported to freighters before, but only if I was using a build anywhere mod and made a Base Computer in it first
Then I dropped a Teleporter and could go to/from stations. Was great except I also had my Terminals in the freighter, and moving the Freighter sometimes caused those quests to go awry until I returned to the system the quest had started in, but that was easy so long as that system had a Space Station in it.
@fickle slate Also, I combined that mod's modular variant with https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/797 for awesomeness.
Good times and great planets have ensued
fickle slate
@tame siren they are both compatible with eachother?

AlwaysAllowShipOperations = "True" --False
AlwaysAllowVehicleOperations = "True" --False

i wonder if that last one has anything to do with Matter beam installed/non-installed... or if matter beam storage container access is available anywhere
just ideas
vale iron
Good idea. I'll test that
sacred frigate
For as far as I know, there is no website that shares creations, although it would be really cool to have I think. We could even create small templates and share them. As it stands however, without any place where base saves are shared, you basically just use it for your own custom edits.
@steady elk @fallow meadow I made github website specifically for this.

round sinew
no idea on what allowshipoperations and allowvehicleoperations would be though, been trying to come up with something
waxen cedar
are ShipOperations and VehicleOperations referenced in anywhere else?
vale iron
Haven't seen them before. Freighter inventory access doesn't override the matter beam need, unfortunately, tested that
tame siren
@fickle slate Make sure to use something like Joew's Mod Manager to check for conflicts and yes, they're compatible - what you want is NMS Fantasy Synthesis's modular / splited version, rather than the all-in-one. Most but not all of the modules are compatible.
As you can see, I've got three parts of BPGL, and maybe half the NMS Fantasy Synth modules
fickle slate
Oh ok, Thank you. I'll probably copy your layout here then, won't get the mod manager if your good on your end and use SCI-FI Visual Overhaul instead of the Fantasy.
tame siren
Always best to have the conflict manager just in case - mine says there's no conflicts, but that only means none of them are modifying the same file
The visual overhauls particularly are tricky since they have a lotta stuff in them
Joew's Mod Manager is quite simple, too - you just run it, it opens a list of your mods, you click Refresh, then Check for Conflicts
@fickle slate ^
fickle slate
Alrighty, thank you for the help.

so I have a question, a kind of planet finding script seems to exist in the game as some missions require specific biomes and the game can automatically search for that planet, even if it is another location, would it be possible to create an item that can find planets whicever the user requests it to with certain parameters, such as lush, no sentinel, no harsh weather?
waxen relic
Hmm that would probably be very complex
And possibly take a long time to write the script and code and stuff for it
I’m sure it’s possible that someone could be working on it though
obsidian tree
you wouldn't be able to specify the params in game
however it may be possible to create a set of mission triggers that scan for a particular planet
so one of each particular type
odd stag
Someone knows the current ShopNumber and ShopTier for the SaveEditor?
waxen relic
We kind of have that in vanilla though because you can scan for certain minerals you want and it will lead you to a radioactive planet if you want Uranium, or to a frost planet if you want Dioxite
Or try scanning for pariffinium, could have a chance to pick up a lush planet
You may be able to scan for star brambles idk though
So you don’t really need a mod for it

i've not yet played with it, but from the videos i saw, i think there was something that needed to be toggled (?) to enable snapping in the blender models?
could be wrong, i'm just not sure, but it could steer you in a different line of thought, sometimes that helps
fallow meadow

@lime mesa Better Planet Generation Legacy, and you can combine it with NMS Fantasy Synthesis (splited version, totally modular) for extra kick and options.

There are mods for exocraft lights, spaceship lights, buildable lights, and outpost lights. And other stuff.
You can use any of the mods together or separately. @vocal jewel

Oh holy crap you’re the mod author 😅

I don't know if that's a good or bad thing lol, but yes. Glad you're enjoying it. 🙂
grim cave
@steel crypt Would you happen to know off the top of your head if your mod is compatible with "Asteroid Fields 2.4"?
Or maybe I can drop that one? It makes asteroids much less common and concentrates minerals in them a little better
steel crypt
If you are talking about DUD’S SKY, it contains several mods. You can use all or in your case you can remove the asteroid mod and use the other one you like.

ok, thanks!

does a mod exist that allows us to increase craftable stack size more conveniently?
game doesn't allow rebinding these

Anyone got that mod that spawns in living ships?

you can get them via save editor I think

the person who can make a mod that sets craftable stack size adjustable with scroll wheel would be my savior
It's so sad that I have to beat the D-key hundreds of times when crafting a ton of metal sheets for mass building

@hushed bronze you know better than to assume lol. I never did or do maintain tesseraction and no, it is not part of my mod.

does anyone have an updated version of the mod, clean space and/or clean paint?
hushed bronze
Dont think either need updates tho. Have you tried em?
lime mesa
yes, with them installed my game crashes. It did NOT crash before the derelict update
i have done the verify files, uninstall/reinstall - same thing.
it gives me an error "mods are not supported" then crashes
hallow tangle
Anyone here uses mods? Which?
lime mesa
up until this update, i used 2 cosmetic mods
lime mesa
the clean space that removes the colored lines of impulse and the clean paint mod that removes the paint dings on ships. I had to remove them as they were crashing my game after this derelict update
hallow tangle
Ok what are the best NMS mods?
Are there mods that make inventory management not be complete and total garbage?
lime mesa
as a streamer, i love the clean space mod. The rainbow lines in pule drive cause pixelation on stream. Clean space removes them - making the stream cleaner
hallow tangle
Where do you get mods?

@lime mesa Paintchip still works in desolation.

I didn't make clean space tho so updating that one isn't my problem 😛

fair enough!
the Clean Space was causing the crash "incompatible mod"
you are correct @hushed bronze paint chipper DOES work for me, too

Looks like that mod author hasn't been active in about 8 months, if it is actually broken, no idea if it will get an update. If no update comes and it is still broken in a few days, post again and someone will likely see about doing an update

I wonder. Is it legal/ethical to commission mods for this game?

If you're talking about requests, there's no stopping you
cosmic badger
No pokemon...
vocal jewel
Oh no I meant monetary payment in exchange for a tailored mod
hushed bronze
Well, many nexus modpages accept donations
lime mesa
As long as you aren't paying with human organs it should be ethical
vocal jewel
@steel crypt Hi! I hope it's ok to ping you. If not I apologize. I was just wondering if you were open to hearing mod requests? My potential request involves colors and I recognize you as someone who knows colors pretty well. If commissioning mods is allowed for this game I'd be willing to discuss that as well if a free request isn't to your liking.
lime mesa
Time to found another billboard to convince Sean to ship NMS with DUD's Sky Colors.
hushed bronze
@vocal jewel Well he already has several color mods out. they dont cover it?
vocal jewel
Not exactly but they are very good nonetheless
hushed bronze
what are you hoping for?
vocal jewel
I'd like to see what planets would look like if you basically told the game "Use whatever colors you want regardless of what they'll be used for." I believe I mentioned red snow as being a potential outcome as an example.
hushed bronze
That usually generates eye rape, sadly
vocal jewel
Ah, hmm, I see
hushed bronze
Its not your request, but I do have an unreleased color mod hanging around you could play with for the hell of it
hushed bronze
That one only affects lush worlds, but it boosts variety a bunch
I spent a long time thinking through and making a color panel generator in excel.
If you use it with ground fix it gets doubled up, but I hear ground fix is not 100% atm
By that I mean ground fix, when working, enables an second entire 64-option color panel for half of the lush planets
I think Ill get that updated now actually
vocal jewel
Eye violation or not I'd still like to see what my request would actually generate. But I understand now why people wouldnt bother to do it since the outcome seems undesirable
I'd do it myself but I'm guessing learning to mod this game is a rather large can of worms
hushed bronze
Can be
Some things are way trickier than others, aand its hard to guess what will be challenging without being experienced in NMS's particular bullshit, lol

I need someone to use NMS Save Editor to delete my duplicate Jetpack, Life Support, and Hazard Protection. I play on XBOX, and I need someone with a PC to log in on my account to locate the save and delete said items. I don't know if this will work or not, due to XBOX being a cloud save. I attempted on my laptop but it's too slow and my save won't appear. Granted it might be due to using No Man's Sky from the App Store and not through Steam. Regardless, if anyone can come up with information or solutions, or a helping hand in this it would be greatly appreciated. I've already contacted HelloGames and filed a ticket for this bug. It's been an ongoing issue for many players, but PC players have found a way around this using the Save Editor.

@round sinew Yeah I agree darkest is too dark sometimes and it gets mentioned a lot by other players too.

it allows for these shots to happen, and i love that feeling of not knowing exactly where i'm going, or whats around me - i don't want to lose that ya know?
(a sentinel lighting the way on this one actually)

I agree to some extent. But there's also the fact to consider, that exocraft headlights don't work with this mod lol
round sinew
true
if i leave my torch on though
i have lights while cruising with Roamer
it's not roamer's own lights though
so that's how i kinda deal with that

waxen dome
👍 I imagine it's just an intensity issue.
Maybe they actually improved the base lighting?

Could be. The fact that the mod still works probably means the files themselves haven't been altered in updates. But I'll have to check to make sure

But its nexus page is messy
And I like to know what I am installing and how exactly works and what it really does
And its nexus page fails to explain all of that due to how big the mod is
Better, due to the huge amount of mods in a single page
Compare to Duds Sky which even if it isnt as big it explains the different mods and what they do

@lime mesa Is it not working? It would probably help him to know exactly what doesn't work

the mod, Clean Space by JJhookah, causes my game to outright crash. It's a mod that removed the rainbow colored speed lines in impulse drive. It triggered an error, "incompatible mod".
Exo said that if there hadnt been any updates in a day or 2 to message here
For streamers, this particular mod is AMAZING because the speed lines overload the encoader and causes pixelation

@lime mesa Try this. I think that's the changes that were being made, but it needs testing.

what have they done to the gravity stuff
I'm floating in space with a mech and when floating past anomaly for example, the gravity slowly turns towards it, as if it had its own gravity field
same happens when floating past freighters or planets
the mech aligns itself as if that object was pulling it down in space

Okay. Space objects definitely seem to have a personal gravity field around them now. I almost began orbiting my freighter as it kept tilting my Y axis along with the direction towards the freighter

OwO
tbh I gotta commend farmer stark for being able to future proof the planet and water mods. Honestly amazing they still work when they were last updated in december
vale iron
Yeah, just depends on how much HG messes with those files. Most of the these mods survived several months, but HG added some new features to textures and materials that broke a lot of previously safe stuff

So yeah I think Stark can rest easy after all. Planet and water work fine and there's an incredible sky alternative that still works 😄

You might also want to check Dud's Colors. It's not as varied, but more curated. Just don't mix Stratos with the two of Dud's that change sky color

hoary drum
@vale iron Hey I just wanted to say I've been enjoying the challenge mod so far. I also have an idea for another feature if it can be done. Basically it removes any purchasable recipes from the Nexus that can be found elsewhere (such as removing the farmable plants from the Nexus and only letting you unlock them through the base missions
vale iron
That's a good idea. I don't suppose you know of a list that shows where each item can be obtained, to make it easier for me, like a wiki? 😉
Is there anything that seems to need more adjustment, in your experience?
hoary drum
I can try to find something for that yeah. In terms of adjustment everything has been going just as I felt it would. The ship starting super far away and the whip plant taking me out in two shots 😆
I'm only two and a half hours in so I haven't experienced all of it yet

@vale iron This is the best I could find
https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/Base_building
https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/Base_Computer_Archives
https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/Blueprint_Analyser
That way these blueprints can only be unlocked through missions or with the buried technology modules. Blueprints other than these can stay in the Nexus pretty much
hoary drum
Cool. Funny thing is I'm playing right now an just came up with another idea. With the ancient keys for ruins maybe have them be spread out a little more so it would be tricky to find them. Or maybe just remove them from ruins and have them become a rare item you can find naturally
waxen cedar
I also have an idea
spread the ruin chest models in caves and underhround and have them include loot like QS, nanited, multitools or S-class modules
vale iron
That would be outside the realm of GExo's Challenge pack, unfortunately
hoary drum
Ahh. That's fine
vale iron
@hoary drum Sorry, I meant @waxen cedar 's idea wouldn't fit in the modpack. Yours might and I'll look at it later.

what are the write speeds for certain drives? So I can determine what is the cheapest option of drives I can get and not have it take ten years to write 25 gb worth of files.
stable wedge
totally depends on the drive, usually specs like that are listed if looking online
lime mesa
as in inherently the fastest kind of external drive to read and write data, very much like an internal SSD but for ones that only store around 50 to 64 gbs
I do have a flash drive that can store a hefty load of data however it's write speed is smaller than my 30 Megabit online transfer speed.
stable wedge
well you've got your run of the mill SSD which im pretty sure you can get in an external flavour, but even they have a wide variety of read/.write speeds depending on manufacturer/model etc and will be limited by whatever external interface they use (eg USB 3 is going to be stuck at a maximum of about 640Mb/s)
vale iron
I don't understand what this has to do with modding

I see there is an 'Extreme Survival' entry in the Milestones that shows SOL's

Yup. That shows the overall sols but the old discovery log had each planet display the stats gained on that one
So planet A and B would have separate amount of SOLs and alien encounter listings

@lime mesa Your cheapest option I would recommend is if your pc suppots NVME a sumsung evo NVME, if it does not a samsung EVO ssd.
I use a 500gb samsung evo ssd and it's fantastic. Last a lot longer than other ssd's too. I found a groupon discount and got it for the same price as a crappier WD ssd.

is there a way to download previous releases of mods from nexus mods? or can you only download the most recent update
marble hazel
maybe i'm just doing something wrong. What's the proper procedure for installing a .pak mod? does it go in the MODS folder? in the PCBANKS folder? do i have to unpack game files? do i need the enablemods.txt file?
i'm having a tough time finding answers online
i'm not even sure if mods i've tried to install are working properly
i get the warning when opening the game but their effects don't seem to be applying
alpine oasis
to install a mod, you make a folder called MODS in the PCBANKS folder. All .pak files go in that folder. Make sure you've deleted or moved DISABLEMODS.txt
if you're seeing the warning that probably means the mods are working

@fringe sail I can use mcdamm to extract graphical mods, I can then pick and choose which .dds files I want and put them into the merge folder and it seems to repak it all fine. Have not done anything drastic outside of "oh this is giving me black texture squares because I merged wrong" repaks with other mods .dds "all good".
fringe sail
Well, the mod in question also uses MBIN files.
Which I think need to be recompiled because the mod causes a CTD on save load.

Should https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1606?tab=description make s-class Freighter modules worth 10M nanites, or is that a bug and its supposed to be units?
grim cave
I am thinking of putting together a little mod that does some small things. Would AMUMSS be the tool to do the folowing:
Adjust the quantity of reosurces gathered from certain mineral nodes, or how long an exocraft mining beam lasts on a full charge, or the top speed of the roamer, how long the boost on a roamer can fire, etc and so on
Come to think of it, I'd like to boost the storage of the autonomous miner too
and maybe it's fuel rate of burn

@lime mesa if you have any problems with animals not spawning I would suggest using this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1573 it does not change how creatures look just how they spawn and is really awesome.

This mod doesnt 'fuck up' and wont ever break your save.
but fair enough, I've never had a problem; but I edit my own mods.

@vale iron Still a no-go. I used to be able to drop a landing pad like a roof over a room, and clip through the bottom to add features on to the pad; but now I get "invalid position" when I try.

Not sure if that counts as modding, but does NMS work with ReShade?
A program (or just some libraries) that do real-time image processing to get some effects on what's displayed
Like color saturation, sharpening, other filters
I got it recently on Fallout 4 and I'm really enjoying it
left sentinel
it kinda came back as a revised edition that worked on vulkan but it was very experimental
smoky wing
@lime mesa In my experience recent ReShade versions work very well with Vulkan. I regularly run NMS on my 3D monitor using the SuperDepth3D shader. Important!: recent ReShade versions disable the depth buffer during multiplayer games, so if you want to use depth-based shaders you'll need to find an unofficial download that enables it (or recompile the code with the necessary 1-line tweak yourself).
lime mesa
@smoky wing Thanks for the detailed feedback but that's just too much for me
If it involves more than copy-pasting some files then it's beyond me
round sinew
yeah, same here, even though i don't use ReShade itself (but vkBasalt, post processing layer/shader injection available on Linux) and the game itself runs pretty much great considering my rapidly aging machine, i'm able to use ReShade filters/textures as well, and it works fine. iirc, there's a section on nexusmods nms dedicated to reshade filter presets.
left sentinel
old reshade footage looks like desolation update haha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVB32zOPpJw
smoky wing
@lime mesa @round sinew Most shaders like sharpening or color tweaks will work fine. Only a few depth-based effects need the special version, and only during multiplayer. Vulkan installation is the same as any OpenGL/DirectX game, plus one extra step: you need to have the installer running while you play, or just click a checkmark which automatically enables ReShade in all your Vulkan games.
round sinew
ReShade doesn't have a Linux build afaik
i use vkBasalt, which also does work fine. i don't need to install anything other than vkbasalt itself, a config file for it with the filters i want to use, and enable it in steam's game launch options
smoky wing
Ahh, that's cool.
round sinew
😉
thanks for explaining though, sometimes there's people asking about how to reshade on windows which i'm not really knowledgeable on
tracking down this sort of info via googling didn't help much last i tried, maybe my search terms weren't hitting the spot

Is anyone else experiencing and issue with GCUIGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN and MBINCompiler? I'm getting a GUID mismatch. It looks like it was updated in MBINCompiler recently and I don't know why my GUID isn't matching what it expects. I think I'm fully updated.

How do I extract PAC files?
NVM.
So, I just need to convert the old MBINs to EXML using the version of MBIN Compiler they were built with, convert them back to MBIN using the latest version of MBIN Compiler, then repac them?
weary ruin
@subtle portal Hi, MBINCompiler is always being updated to the latest 'experimental' version. If you are still on the 'Public' version of NMS, then you need to stay on the previous MBINCompiler version, like you did.
@fringe sail AMUMSS can do all that for you, you just put the pak file in ModScript and it will find the right version of MBINCompiler and un-pak/de-compile to a new folder in the UNPACKED_DECOMPILED_PAKs folder...
You can then examine the EXMLs files. If they are too old, they may not be capable of re-compiling with the latest MBINCompiler and may not be compatible with NMS latest version. You may however find the differences and apply them to new EXML files... Help can be reached in https://discord.com/channels/215514623384748034/215569912121262080
Note: AMUMSS is on Nexus at https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/957
subtle portal
@weary ruin Since you're talking AMUMSS, that's what I'm using. The docs say it will fall back to previous MBINCompilers, but it doesn't seem to be doing that for me
weary ruin
it will do that if you only put pak(s) in Modscript without any lua script
Otherwise it tries to use the latest version of MBINCompiler
because it needs to create a mod pak that is current
You can force it to not update MBINCompiler if you activate xOPT_CustomMBINCompiler.txt (remove the 'x') and put the MBINCompiler version you want in MODBUILDER folder: you can find all versions here https://github.com/monkeyman192/MBINCompiler/releases
Do not forget to inactivate that 'xOPT_CustomMBINCompiler.txt' file again when you want to go back to the latest MBINCompiler version
subtle portal
Ok, that's the method I used. Thanks.
weary ruin
I realize it is not at all intuitive as it currently is, I will make it so that the user is at least asked if he wants to update when a new version of MBINCompiler comes along...
subtle portal
Oh, are you the maintainer for AMUMSS?
weary ruin
yes

I'm a fan of your work 🙂
