@unkempt bronze nms fantasy and dud's various mods add more colours to filters (a colour overlay across the whole system), planets, sky, water etc. there is also a blackwarp+nebula mod.
However I found the amount of crappy variations a bit common for my liking. I think there is a exo colour mod too? have not tried that one
None of the 'shader' mods work as far as I am aware. You might be able to get a reshade working but from what I understand nms is as good as any reshade nowdays.
lots of people like nms fantasy, but the whole merged mod itself changes many aspects of the game not just visuals. So I would suggest getting the split copy and picking what sounds good

@hushed bronze does dudsky-colours or the tweaks file interfear with groundfix?

@scenic mango the list of modded files is on exo’s description and mine (DUD’S SKY) is in the docs/readme page. Make sure no files are the same. It looks like there are some that are the same.

solid swan
Any experienced pc user able to help someone out with installing NMS?
I’m useless with pc
fleet osprey
@solid swan you buy the game on steam, go to your library and press the big install button
weary ruin
@fleet osprey If you are talking about .lua files scripts (used by AMUMSS to build paks), they do work with .pak files in ModScript to create a patch or mod. They do not belong in NMS MODS folder, but will not cause any harm neither
fleet osprey
This is why I never come into this channel
@solid swan what do you mean? seriously, I didn't wanna sound rude... i just don't really understand your issue
is it only me or does the instant actions version of this mod just not change anything?
solid swan
@fleet osprey I understand, but being I asked if someone could pop in to our help channel as we had a newbie trying to install the game via game pass and was encountering multiple errors and me being PS4 user couldn’t give any direction on the matter. I figured this channel would have the most savvy minded PC members. The matter was solved but if I ask in here in the future, I’ll make it a detailed post. Thanks.
alpine oasis
@fleet osprey you might have to move the instant actions file to the top of your mod list by putting a bunch of underscores in the name
that usually fixes it for me

@vale iron Actually the above mentioned mod may serve as a better solution than I had, for the no-free-freighters portion I had made
Also I dont think mine was even finished to begin with, iirc, the solution for putting capitals back into the available possibilities was not tuned for ship separations n stuff

I don't think 2000u is enough to traverse half a planet tho

Depending on the size of the planet, half would require about 60000, which I can make. What are you trying to do?

to build a quick access to a portal and a few resource hotspots without adding separate bases for each of them on the same planet

hey so - I was having difficulty distinguishing between @vale iron and @hushed bronze building mods.
They both seem very very similar? Not trying to start any competition but what are the BIG differences?
I just started building seriously for the first time. Have to say I wish there was a feature in the game or a mod that auto built prerequisites if the base mats were already available
vale iron
@scenic mango I'd say Exo's is a little bit cleaner on the item placement, as he has some targeted restrictions that are good, while mine has extended base boundary, wire, and pipe distances that I think he doesn't do. Otherwise, they are very similar.
scenic mango
hrm. one thing I like about yours is the powertower doing default 200kw or whatever
@vale iron
I have exos downwloaded becasue its what I saw first but I might switch to yours due to the fact I dont want to use solar panels
also big ass scaled power towers are so cool looking
vale iron
Just make sure you use the right version, the EM Anywhere one.
scenic mango
@steel crypt is there a way to get your colours working with Exos grass fix? or is that a no go?

I admit to being severely underwhelmed at the pathetic range of the base teleporter, so if there is a mod to push that range out to several thousand U, I will be very happy!

@hushed bronze its amazing how vastly different gaming experiences the two mods can dish out. Stratos vs Duds sky - colors.
Stratos gives me red grass on a planet with green grass. I am amazed how much the sky/sun controls the enviroment
onlyu thing i'd request about Stratos is to implement only grey/black clouds during the night, not the glowy stuff.
hushed bronze
Stratos should do nothing to your grass.

I think its the sun/sky change that changes the light hitting the grass that then changes the hue look. I'll post a pic

Found it, figuring it out. Says I have a few conflicts. that "fine LOD" file pretty much is the most conflict with other mods. Does that mean it wont work?

It works on priority if FineLOD has priority then it will work... But of course it cancels out the mod that it conflicts with so that mod won't work....

Working on a new warp overhaul (textures and sound) I had to deconstruc a few old mods to see which files needed changing.. This isn't the end result but i'm getting there 🙂 I am also replacing the sounds of the warp, as I couldn't stand the vanilla high pitch whine.
round sinew
@clever jewel would you entertain the possibility of doing a first person view warp screen? if it's too soon to even think about it, we can continue this convo later if you so desire! anyway, keep it up! 🙂
vale iron
@clever jewel Have you looked at Lo2k's stuff? He has a couple of warp change mods
clever jewel
I just had a look 🙂 They're awesome, more technical than what im doing.. My main reason for making this though was that blinding orb in the middle of the warp tunnel. I was constantly having to look away from my monitor when I warped. that and turning my headphone volume off because of that maddening high pitch whine of the hyperdrive.. Anyway my goal for this mod was to remove that blinding glow and introduce some blackness back into space. It still looks a bit rough though, im still going to tweak the textures further
the dark warp mod and the warp candy mods where the two that I deconstructed and learned from, they're outdated though..
clever jewel
SO i just checked and Lo2k did the dark warp mod too lol I didnt even realise
@round sinew you should give Lo2k a shout, he already has a mod that does that, just not sure if hes updated it or not..

Any clue why Fantasy synthesis is hidden now?
@jagged otter Idk, but it maybe because something is broken and the author need to fix it? Can't say for sure though, but that's what was caused one of my mod were hidden for 2 days.

Yeah, but hiding Fantasy is like "hey, why is NMS not listed on the Steam store anymore?"
jagged otter
tbh you can add a message to the "post hidden" thingy telling people why it's gone and there's just nothing
vale iron
Yeah, that made it even stranger
It's tough to say with a big 'mod' like that. It takes so much work, it's easy to see someone doesn't want to deal with it anymore, though that doesn't seem like Redmas to me, but there are so many factors that could be involved
alpine oasis
@outer narwhal Better Planet Generation is a good option: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/797

There was probably some big bugs that popped up and Redmas didn’t want people to deal with that so they’re keeping it hidden while they fix it. Or they could be working on adding big additions to the mod

inland tulip
anyone know how to save edit??? im stuck on the StarBirth quest and the only way to reset the mission is to edit the save somehow and do some kind of dumb stuff to it that i have no clue about
@echo nova I do. I can fix a save but you need to tell me everything, even to the smallest detail, what had happened and what is the current state.
A single miss of a save editing of quests may result in even getting more bugs than it fix. So if you can explain everything to me (to smallest detail) and send ur savegame, I'm willing to help.
Tbh it's easier to actually correct the quest than resetting it.
echo nova
their is no way to locate the quest
no way to finish it either because of issue A
im up to the point of going to a planet after picking up 4 parts for the living ship i have talked to the living ship that was in space and yea it wants me to find a blue and pink planet but wont tell or show me what system
@inland tulip
inland tulip
ahh that.... tell, me... so you got all the 4 mature parts?
it should instead say to give you coordinate for portal
echo nova
could i go up to any old portal and throw in glyphs off of a forum?
inland tulip
idk, did the egg sing a song?
echo nova
its saying its a cracking egg
ive had nothing to do with the quest in months
ive been away from NMS for some time
inland tulip
open it up, and tell me the description
echo nova
i cant remember if it has sung or not
inland tulip
there's two phase of the cracking egg
if it's the 2nd phase, which it tells you actually the glyph coordinate in disguise
echo nova
starting the game again
inland tulip
you could just warp with the glyphs off forums
if its the first phase, then you need to talk to the host to get the 2nd phase after the egg sings
inland tulip
did it says like //hunter// or something?
inland tulip
yeah, correct, it's phase two
it's not bugged
you are supposed to crack the coordinate
spoiler aside, the coordinate has been solved in forums, and always the same
inland tulip
so you don't need a save edit, just you need to get to the target planet by portal
you can use a save editor to warp there instantly, but i wouldn't recommend unless the normal path is bugged
echo nova
i have NMScoordinates wich is a warp helper thingo
inland tulip
yeah ik, just i recommend using normal way obtaining it, to prevent bugs
echo nova
fair
inland tulip
there's a FLAG checker if you have been from the portal, or warped there manually
echo nova
god damn i need to find all the stupid glyphs now
inland tulip
well, you can save edit the glyphs using the save editor, that wouldn't as hard as fixing the quests. It won't give more bugs on your game
but still, if you prefer the normal way, good luck
inland tulip
xD
Well giving glyph is easier than you need someone help with, for quest bugs i maybe thought that deserve my time to edit one by one but this isn't bugged.
So yeah, either getting glyphs manually or save edit, it up to you now. The quest isn't bugged. Cheers.

odd rover
@weary ruin thank you.
odd rover
You can ask here https://discord.gg/M83ncb
@weary ruin
No one answered, it'll be better if you can just tell me how to edit it on a save editor.
weary ruin
Be patient, I do not know the answer. Those modders do!
sterile walrus
@odd rover You need to modify the "Version" part of your save file, as this handles the game mode type of that save. Save Editor > Edit Raw JSON, and you'll have to change the number to the "version" you want the save to be. It should be right at the top of the raw JSON of the save file.
The number each gamemode is associated with changes regularly (it seems to increase incrementally with updates), so the best way to do this safely is to make a fresh save in the game mode you want to change your current savegame to, and open it up in the save editor to get its current version number. Then you just paste it into your main save and that should work, as I used this method a couple years ago and it worked fine.
As an example, my Normal Mode save is currently Version 4638, and if I wanted to change it to Permadeath, I'd make it 6686, as that's the current Version number I've got from my Permadeath save. I can quickly grab the version numbers for all four modes if you need that.
I hope this helps.
odd rover
Thanks for letting me know and I can do rest of this, this much effort is enough, thank you @sterile walrus .
@weary ruin yeah I'm kind of impatient, sorry
sterile walrus
No worries, good luck! Remember to back up your saves and all that precautionary stuff, though there shouldn't be any problems if you use fresh saves to grab your version numbers

I recently got a Reshade for RDR2 and had to enable Vulkan globally, and I noticed that also added Reshade to NMS.
Would this affect anything in any sort of way (besides maybe visuals)? Or is it like many Mods that are multiplayer-compatible?

@untold acorn it's not a hard thing to mod in, but i suspect many haven't made mods for it since pop-in would make that really annoying to deal with

Yea. Trees would just randomly fade in and get your exocraft stuck inside them

zinc snow
Wow, NMS looks not as good without sharpening
I love Reshade
smoky wing
@zinc snow Reshade just modifies the rendered image, it shouldn't affect any games files. A few depth-based shaders may not work during multiplayer - like they may turn off when you enter the Nexus, then turn back on when you leave alone.
That's actually a built-in reshade cheat protection (you can disable it easily if you know how to customize the source)
zinc snow
Yeah, I was just wondering because I know in games like GTA V a Reshade preset could get you banned, but I also know that NMS works differently with mods.
smoky wing
Ahh, interesting. Naw, NMS doesn't seem to care about mods. It's not really a competitive game.
zinc snow
Reshade is probably one of my favorite things to install because there is almost no performance impact with the visuals you can apply to games. If a game supports Reshade and is missing something to make it look good, I usually install it. The only downside is you could get banned in some online games for using it.

The biggest problems for multiplayer are mods that affect terrain. Next would be mods that affect how items work, like increasing power output on an EM generator. Most mods work just fine in multiplayer though
inland tulip
If I may add: any mods that are just visual won't interfere at all, but anything that tampers generation "may" get in the way.
Anything that connected to other people, such as spawning, generations.
zinc snow

yes but it doesn't always work unless you have the same ones
Some few mods do work in Multiplayer, even if the other person doesn't have the mod or plays on console. However, most of those mods don't add anything that isn't already available in the game.

is there any mod to increase the number of slots in the inventory? the mods I have come across only increase the stack size.
waxen cedar
Save editor
naive moth
@sick glacier With the Save Editor you can unlock the maximum amount of slots available for every inventory. But it's not possible to increase inventories beyound that. The inventories you see in game, are in fact just "interfaces" towards a virtual inventory (database). This is also why you can put storage boxes in multiple bases and have your items available to you no matter which of your bases you visit. If we were to expand those databases for extra inventory space, the game would have no means of accessing the items. And NMS doesn't allow modders to access the ingame UI and change it
raw loom
how does modding even work in nms
sick glacier
Thanks. I have not come to the part where I can create storage boxes. Is save editing safe?
naive moth
Ye that's perfectly fine. The Save Editor automatically creates backups everytime you edit a save. It's also not against the rules to use this. Even though it does allow you to cheat everything you want
sick glacier

@molten crown The cap is 2^32; It's not anywhere in the modd-able MBIN files, which means it's in the code. So, no. If you want to amass more money, raise the stack size of stasis device and hoard those 🤑

I think it's time to show you guys a little teaser of what I'm working on (old project that I decided to pickup again). This is the Advanced Modding Station. Working so far:
- Unpacking game files
- Creating / Opening your own projects
- Copying game files towards your project
- Build in XML editor to work on your files
- Support for working on multiple documents at the same time
- Many editor functions like cut / copy / paste / select line / select all / Indents / Outdents / Searching
- Also lots of other useful functions like word wrap / indent guides / zooming etc
- No more need to download seperate software. The program includes everything you need to create your mods
There are still many other things that need to be done though, so don't expect it to be finished within a few days 😛
Should probably mention that you're no longer required to decompile / compile mbin files either. The program takes care of this for you in the background. All you have to do is copy files to your project and double click them to start working on them 🙂
waxen cedar
ooh
obsidian tree
looks nice @naive moth ! Will it support automatically giving you all the options an enum can take for example?
I remember you starting work on this a little while a go
naive moth
@obsidian tree Not sure what you're talking about to be honest? For now the code itself is pretty basic. I'm using ScintillaNET as the editor and the following to make it work with the mbin compiler:
CreateXmlEditor editor = new CreateXmlEditor(this); //ScintillaNET
NMSTemplate obj = libMBIN.FileIO.LoadMbin(sourcePath);
obj.WriteToExml(sourcePathNoExt);
editor.createControl(sourcePathNoExt);
For the moment I'm having it write out an exml file and use that for the editor. But I'm working on a method to have it load from memory instead. My plan is to use the mbin compiler to automatically recompile the mbin file upon saving as well so no exml files will ever need to be involved. But I honestly don't know much about the mbin compiler's dll methods and what else could be done with them. You either lack documentation on that front or I didn't find it 😛
Like perhaps, when you have some time, you could at least change the source of your dll to something like:
/// <summary>
/// Summery of this method
/// </summary>
/// <param name="path">Contains the path towards the MBIN file.</param>
/// <returns>Decompiled xml loaded from the MBIN file.</returns>
/// <exception cref="WhatEverExceptionsThisCanThrow"></exception>
public NMSTemplate LoadMbin(string path){ ... }
So at least Visual Studio gives some information about the methods😅
obsidian tree
I'm currently in the middle of making a whole site for docs, so gimme about a week and hopefully it will be up
but yeah, I should also add docstrings (are they called that in c#?) to functions also...

As suggestion, pay attention to the end of the mod descriptions. Usually modders tells what files the mod changes, and you can keep track of it in notepad or use mod conflict checker app maybe

You don't happen to have a mod that allows us to scale prefabs like biodomes and such? Saw a guy on reddit using cheat engine for that but I would rather prefer a pak for it

Scaling prefab parts causes problems in snapping them together. That's why Exosolar's Beyond avoids that.

toxic hatch
relight + fine lod lite + lightfix soft + rotating atmosphere
@formal perch add black space (Nebula) to there, makes the game look more realistic
talking about that, they updated the ship hud color mod!
naive moth
@gray imp Scaling any part causes problems with snapping unless you scale them perfectly the same. The game doesn't provide a UI option to display scaling numbers and resets any scaling the moment you switch to another part while building. That is why, if you use ingame scaling, you should try to scale to the max or minimum size that the mod supports only. As that at least lets you make sure you scale parts exactly the same. In all other cases I suggest building with Blender instead. Because there you can scale everything exactly the same size where needed 🙂
On a side note: When scaling too large, snapping becomes a problem no matter what. Even if they are exactly the same size. This is because snapping points are fixed. However, if someone is extremely good at modding and math, they can add their own snapping points as well. Positioning those correctly is challenging though
gray imp
Pre-fab doors do not snap to room parts when scaled. Even when both room and door are at exactly the same scale (min). If you managed to do that in-game, I'd to know how.
naive moth
Ye, like I said: Snap points are fixed. They do not scale with the prefab. If you want to fix that issue, you have to add new snap points. Downside to that is that they will mess you up when trying to build without scaling
So ye, that's probably why Exo never bothered with that. It'll create problems no matter what. You fix it one way and it'll break the other
hushed bronze
@waxen cedar BBB used to do that but its SUPER busted.
like what Imonk mentioned
Collisions get screwball with that too

is there any download link to that one?
Just want it for fancy build experiments. No need for any practical use
hushed bronze
That one would probably predate several major updates and not work at all
But if you are willing to screw with the lua you can remove the scaling exceptions and make your own

@naive moth @gray imp I allow prefab to scale in GBase because I like to use them at bigger sizes.

so the thing is, I want to try reshade, but I'm insecure about two things, first if my computer is powerful enough for them, and if there is a way to uninstall them in case I want to change them
formal perch
@toxic hatch what
reshade is essentially a dx filter over your game
its inefficient, so any filters you throw are tracing in real time over the game
you will be able to "uninstall" it the same way you install it
by adding or deleting files
theres hundreds of tutorials on reshade online
misty warren
@toxic hatch Not a modder myself. But I would recommend at least attempting a few shaders or if possible, look at the requires the shader needs before installing
And if things dont work out, just simply delete the file that you placed within the required folder for shaders
formal perch
Since I have many years of experience and am a huge modder I would suggest just watching a tutorial. It takes a few seconds.

Some updates to the NMS Advanced Modding Station I'm working on (for those interested):
- It prevents you from entering invalid values in the XML code. Well, technically it doesn't prevent you from doing this, but it will refuse to save the file and tell you why
- It's now able to create (pak) your mods (so technically all the basics are now functional)
- A whole bunch of exception handlers have been added (though still far from finished)
If all goes as planned, I should be able to release the first Alpha version soon 🙂

Afaik titles are given upon condition met. First run with save without titles will calibrate titles once, then unlocks more as the trigger's activate (such as cronus being impressed triggers chef)

I’ve figured out where they’re saved in code. And while I can unlock some of them not all of them work
I don’t know if it’s just cause the saves are really weird or if it double checks you’ve done stuff to complete them

There are different activation criteria. Some are based on quest completion, others on achievements. The criteria are listed in the titles MBIN, which I don't have in front of me

I delwted the save and mf_save files in the local storage. downloaded the mf_save and save files from steam and pasted them in that folder. but the game shows that there are no saves and wants me to start afresh.
a point to note is that there were mf_save2 and save2 files in the local storage before I deleted them but I don't find these in the steam cloud storage

@sick glacier
Please bear in mind when you are dead in normal mode, your carried item goes to grave. In survival, you lost all carried items.
sick glacier
@inland tulip Yeah, it is sad how I realized that only after 40 hours of gameplay.
inland tulip
you are playing survival?
sick glacier
I attributed the previous instances of the items missing to mods glitching out.
yes. survival.
inland tulip
It means it's not mod fault, that's how survival means to be
sick glacier
now, it is all gone. the only save that works is a save made in July
inland tulip
Well, it called survival for a reason
If you want to keep item after death you need to play normal
On death:
Normal:
Carried item(s) goes to grave
5k unit lost (unless using mods)
Survival:
Carried item(s) gone
15k unit lost (afaik? i forgot)
Permadeath:
As it said, you die, you lose the save

is there a mod that removes that horizon fog
I wouldn't mind if it wasn't the same white one every time

hey! can anybody recommend some graphics enhancing mods?
smoky wing
@waxen cedar That fog really frustrates me on approach. I've modded the fog to more closely match Atlas Rises' levels. IMHO looks much nicer on-ground or low-flight. But now approached planets look crystal-clear up until you reach the cloud layer and then it's nearly a white-out until you get closer to the ground again. :/

@inland tulip can i get one for basic ones i mine like ferrite dust
@stark portal Ah, it probably someone's else mod that i didn't know or aware off. I have mod that alters asteroids, and buffing their mining resource.

@hushed bronze does the most recent edition of BBB include the new freighter furnishings? i havent been able to find them in the build menu since i installed the mod 😦
im not sure if its just an issue with using an old copy of the buildables data or whatever but i cannot find them anywhere for the life of me... also, would you consider segregating some of the menus better, like better build menu? scrolling through furniture is a bit of a nightmare
hushed bronze
It should but you would still have to unlock them normally. BBB does not cheat the unlock processes
@vocal zodiac
vocal zodiac
oh, i already have unlocked them
it's just i installed it after i did so and they're not showing up on any submenu
@hushed bronze
like ive been through all the freighter stuff but they just aint there unfortunately
i can pass along my save if you'd like, id have to package it up though
hushed bronze
Is it the most recently updated version of BBB?
hard kettle
is it possible for me to change the crew race using the save editor?
alpine oasis
you can change the crew race of frigates with the editor, but i'm not sure about the freighter
vale iron
I think if you change the home seed it changes the color and race
And I think the new items from freighters aren't in the freighter build menu, but the decorations maybe?
hard kettle
idk i tried both home and model separately and it didnt work it was still vykeen
weird
home seed is jus tthe color?
ih nvm it works
waxen token
Do mods work on the game pass version?
vale iron
There's a way to make it work. I don't know the details but it uses a method from some other big name game. You have to move the install directory and reregister it or something like that
hard kettle
how do change the maneuverability stat on ship using the editor
i do not see the option for it
lime mesa
Hmm, so BTF terrain is broke now
let me count the mods i want to use but cant cause versions
Rayrods
Swiftpitbulls overhaul

and Diverse Planet Generation
Oof
Anyone know any fixes?
also, anyone know how to download a version of visions so I can play Diverse? It looks great

@hard kettle you can't

Anyone have anything that can help?
inland tulip
Anyone have anything that can help?
@lime mesa Other than changing ship class and seed, nothing can help except by adding more upgrades
Fighter has the highest manauverability
vocal zodiac
@hushed bronze i believe its the most recent version as of the 20th but i will check n make sure, thank you
neat aspen
You can use the editor to add 8 photonix core overall which will increase manoeuvrability to around 3,000. Any more than 8 and your ship will start doing backflips and spazzing out
You cannot add more than 3 of any items other than the special upgrades to a ship. Procedurally generated ones will give you tech overload
But it does mean you can fill all the other slots with the positron one and make it like a sniper
waxen cedar
any mods to allow teleportation to galactic address in real time without reloading the save?
left sentinel
reloading the save?
waxen cedar
Oop. I meant restarting the game

🤔
waxen cedar
if I change coords in save editor for example I will need to quit the game
and come back for the changes to apply
Would be nice to have insta warp option since it is possible within the game itself
inland tulip

@waxen cedar no you don't, all you need is save with the editor and reload the save in game after

outer tangle
I assume any mods added making multiplayer impossible?
alpine oasis
multiplayer still works if you have mods installed
outer tangle
Even if you install mods that change how the game works?
hoary drum
Yes. If it’s a mod that changes terrain for example then only you would see the changes. You might end up seeing the other person walk under terrain or stand in the air. And vice versa
outer tangle
oh wow, that's crazy, good thing the game doesn't have pvp then lol
There are a lot of mods that makes space realistic by making it black and such, is there a universal favorite?
I'm trying to make the game as immersive as possible, might even look for planet generation mods (cause vanilla generation just seems the same on all planets)
inland tulip
oh wow, that's crazy, good thing the game doesn't have pvp then lol
@outer tangle the game actually have, but it wasn't the major focus and mostly used as griefing (turning off player damage totally turn this off)
Even worse: a mod that alters NPC starships such as pirate counts will not shown to other teammates, they will see you as shooting nothingness.
neat aspen
Any chance someone can help me?
I play on PS4. I need a PC game save file because it’s easier to read but I need it on the newest update
I don’t want to play your game save or actually care for it in itself. I simply need it because the PS4 one is so cancerous to read
I have one but it’s on an old update
inland tulip

@neat aspen you want my save so you can compare?
neat aspen
Erm. Sorry I was speaking to someone who just sent me one but it only has one multi tool.
Would the save be on the desolation patch and would it have more than one multi tool?
And yes it’s so I can use the save editors commands for PS4
I do other stuff on top of this but having an issue with making multi tools 48 slots on console
And I’m trying to figure out what I’m missing

@hearty crypt did ya fix BTF?
outer tangle
I'm having a hard time, I only got a few mods in but the game just won't stop crashing when I start a save

Just tired to post a screenshot but I can't here
hoary drum
Because some of them could be outdated
outer tangle
I'll just PM em
When I had half of them in they worked fine, but then adding the other half messed things up, I pulled a few out one by one to see if it would work, so I'm guessing there are multiple incompatibilities

@neat aspen you can't, the only way this can happen is by mods (i know because i litterally make mod have one change that heavily buff rocket launcher damage and reduce it reload time by half)

@outer tangle Make sure your mods compatible with Desolation (2.6.2 version) and doesn't conflict within each other. Also those that changes how the save handles such as increasing multi tool slot or making ship tech slot becaming 48 maybe is the culprit because those are saved into "unlocked slots" in savefile (Which maybe crashes the game).
Anyone know a mods that adds GUI to 3rd person starship's view? Hates the moment when you need to check coordinate and ship's speed inside cockpit and back to third person. If this not exists, I wonder if this can taken as request.

Is it somehow possible to remove the tedious limitation of not being able to build on landing pads when there is a starship on said landing pad? I really want to have a (partially) custom landing pad but i cannot place anything on it because the game blocks me
(Also calling in your starship on said landing pad after building on it doesn't work either.)
If someone could fix/tweak this, that'd be a lifesaver.

@molten crown I can do it
@dark steppe can you send me a dm?

You can’t port Pathfinder terrain because it will be different. The terrain has different variables now. You would have to port it then tweak all the new variables with some old ones to get it close but it will never be the same.
ruby torrent
alright.
livid epoch
Is there a working dupe glitch that can be performed solo? I just grinded all the storage mods and frigate modules for a second time and want to save an extra set in case I switch freighters down the road.
The ones I see on the anomoly where you transfer an item the reload don't work since it autosaves when you send someone something.
Worst case scenario i guess I can transfer to a friend then reload a manual save but that's a bit of a hassle.
inland tulip
Uhm, what this has to do with modding? Anyway the method i know is the worst case scenario which transfer to friend and reload save
livid epoch
Is there another channel where this would be betted suited?

Figured that was for more legitimate gameplay things.
Modding/duping don't seem that unlike one qnother :P

important question, if i egt a terrain gen mod and then remove it, does everything default to the normal terrain
another- if 2 people have the same terrain gen mod do they see the same terrain
another- does player model size changes work in multiplayer

Player model changes are most likely a no, the 2 people thing are a good chance

Someone nows the current shop number?

You can change player model size in multiplayer
As long as you change it in the save file

I'm a bit confused
decided to try slight modding and just to see how all this works
Everything seems to be fine except from the part of decompiling .MBIN files

Have you look a the tools here: https://wiki.step-project.com/NMS:Modding_Tools

I tried to use the MBINCompiler as the modding guide explains but it doesn't seem to do anything
waxen cedar
doesn't do anything here? What is the file location where it throws the decompiled one?
proper veldt
how safe is modding multiplayer-wise?
Will i wreck my friend's game if I bring them to systems with generation mods enabled
wanton river
any mods available to make the game not pause?
lime mesa
using the NMS save editor, does the seed for a ship only affect the appearance?
Anyone know a good cheat table?
sterile walrus
@lime mesa Yes, seed changes only change ship appearance and base manoeuvrability stats. Everything else, like the Damage/Shield/Hyperdrive bonus and installed tech/carried cargo carries over from the ship whose seed you changed.
@proper veldt Modding is perfectly safe in MP. Generation mods will only be visible to players with that mod, all other players will see the vanilla generation. The worst that will happen is they may see you walking in the air or through terrain that doesn't exist for them, and vice versa.

Hi all. Ive made another small mod that slightly raises the camera for Explorer ships, so you can now see over the high tail in 3rd person. Also freelook in 3rd person is now 45 degrees instead of 15
round sinew
i'll be giving this a go, @clever jewel - thank you very much for this.
clever jewel
👌 awesome
round sinew
even though i have a ship with this body, and always fly cockpit view: your mod might make me use 3rd person view some more.
so, thanks again 👍

I got this new explorer and then realised I couldnt see over the tail! No no no hehe
You can also quite easily tweak the height of the cam with the lua files if you have AMUMSS

There’s one thing I’ve been testing out but idk if it’s possible and was wondering if someone else with experience wanted to mess with it
