And on the modded side I could use... well mods to give me the missing quicksilver stuff and expedition stuff that I have unlocked in vanilla

#

What I need to know if any data from both games will end up in the same location, and if so, if I can change it

#

I want to still be able to play vanilla because the community is one of the strongest aspects of the game but it's almost entirely vanilla

#

But I want to see some new stuff too that you can only see with mods

left sentinel Oct 25, 2021, 2:47 PM

#

check out the gamepass version?

#

maybe it stores saves in a different folder

unborn olive Oct 25, 2021, 2:50 PM

#

I'll look into that too but I don't use Gamepass so I'll probably use the GoG one if it works

Is base parts count shown in the goatfungus save editor GUI? If not, where would I look on the raw JSON?

hearty wasp Oct 25, 2021, 7:44 PM

#

does the base section not show how many pieces there are

Is it possible to make a mod to force spawn a missing creature from your list that just won't spawn? Or maybe there's something like that available

tawdry veldt Oct 25, 2021, 9:25 PM

#

I believe you can completely change what animal any of your companions is

steel crypt Oct 25, 2021, 9:26 PM

#

This is why it would be nice to be able to name saves. You could simply enable or disable mods and load either a "modded save" or normal.

I'm assuming you are talking about a creature on the discovered creature list?

dry flint Oct 25, 2021, 9:38 PM

#

Yeah 👍🏻

steel crypt Oct 25, 2021, 9:41 PM

#

If so, there is simply no way of doing it other than some really complicated stuff that no one has done. There just isn't a function available for that kind of thing as far as I know. I know we have forced spawned other junk, but I don't think there is a way to do that. I might be wrong because I'm not the expert in that area. Mjistral is.

Anyone seen the script definition for the sandworms yet?

#

Trying to brew up some custom ones in eggs

#

But I don’t know the body part names

#

Er, descriptors

lime mesa Oct 26, 2021, 6:06 AM

Example would be this, the JSON for a flying butterfly

"^_BWINGS_02",

"^_MWINGS_02",

I appreciate it, honestly didn’t know anyone would have it

#

So I don’t think there’s potential to put the “dragon” head from the flying snakes on

minor moat Oct 26, 2021, 7:40 AM

Wait a second

If set A is pre update

#

That means one might be the already existing heads

I have seen that recently as well

#

Nearly died from fall damage trying to jet pack to it to try and interact with it

#

If I could get the flying snake descriptors then I could force a companion to turn into it

#

Now I just need companion eggs to turn into sandworms

lime mesa Oct 26, 2021, 8:04 AM

#

The biggest issue I’ve had with faux eggs is that they either have an infinite timer or hatch into nothing

But if it’s a real egg then I can change what’s inside it and it’ll still hatch

vale iron Oct 26, 2021, 8:11 AM

#

You need flying snake, you said, @lime mesa

lime mesa Oct 26, 2021, 8:12 AM

#

Sure, if ppl want them as companions

#

I don’t need the egg, just the description/name for JSON like what bomber had

vale iron Oct 26, 2021, 8:17 AM

#

It looks the same as what ThatBomberBoi gave you

lime mesa Oct 26, 2021, 8:17 AM

#

That’d make some sense

#

As they act very similar

#

So the sandworm and snake descriptors are the same?

vale iron Oct 26, 2021, 8:48 AM

#

Looks like what they gave you was flying snake. Sandworm is the same, but lacks tails 1,2,3,5,6,7

#

i.e. only tail 4

#

I'm curious if you can make the SANDWORMMINI into a pet, but don't have the time to test it right now

lime mesa Oct 26, 2021, 8:56 AM

#

Im curious tho which sandworm is the right sandworm

lime mesa Oct 26, 2021, 8:56 AM

#

vale iron Looks like what they gave you was flying snake. Sandworm is the same, but lacks ...

so is sandworm listed as sandworm?

vale iron Oct 26, 2021, 8:57 AM

#

The descriptors are in all ways the same except the tails. It's listed as SNAKE TypeId as well

#

But the TypeId doesn't always match up with what you need for the egg

#

I've tried before, but have never been able to find a definitive list from which the companion type comes

lime mesa Oct 26, 2021, 9:00 AM

#

Workinmg on it now, will ss results

lime mesa Oct 26, 2021, 9:26 AM

#

vale iron The descriptors are in all ways the same except the tails. It's listed as _SNAKE...

So it's litterally snaketypeid or is it snake_a

vale iron Oct 26, 2021, 9:33 AM

#

TypeId is SNAKE with underscores around it. Id is SNAKE_A with underscores around it.

#

Then you have TypeId SET, and under that Id SET_A and Id SET_B

If i had a sandworm egg in my inventory it'd tell me what it is

the number at the bottom of the descriptors is important enough that removing it renders the save reset. But for both the cows it's identical. So I'm thinking it's part of what defines it

You can use my mod, but it doesn't actually speed it up, just sets the timer to 0

lime mesa Oct 26, 2021, 11:17 AM

theres a failsafe in place

if u have duplicate sourced eggs, only the original hatches

vale iron Oct 26, 2021, 11:18 AM

You duplicated the Eggs[#] JSON?

lime mesa Oct 26, 2021, 11:21 AM

#

yep

#

even tried changing it to egg[#+1]

#

I think when an egg gets made it's marked with some sort of "Serial Number" and eggs that share a serial number don't hatch

#

lets see if I've turned the crab into a sandworm

lime mesa Oct 26, 2021, 11:28 AM

turned the crab into ur worm and the cow into a flying snake

any sort of sandworm/snake you'd like?

As weird as it is I don't think the abyssal horror is an actual flying snake, as there are only 4 heads listed in the JSON, and none of the 4 are the eyeball

#

I could force an abyssal horror to act like a flying snake

#

if you have the abyssal horror json and the weird number that goes at the bottom of the descriptors. Idk where that number comes from

lime mesa Oct 26, 2021, 12:02 PM

#

found it

#

Not only can I attach the eye, I can attach the eye and any of the heads

lime mesa Oct 26, 2021, 12:37 PM

#

If u want an egg of it then just lemme know

#

I think technically I could make it stubby and huge and it'd be like the space horror maggot thing

I think the next thing I'd wanna try modding into a companion would be the dirt krakens

There’s only 3 heads for normal sandworms
There’s 5 for the flying snakes that aren’t rly sandworms

Head 4 has a variant with horns

And heads 1-4 can have the 5th (abyssal horror eye) added to them. And it will appear in the mouth

lime mesa Oct 27, 2021, 2:02 AM

#

buoyant steeple the body looks a bit jank though

The abyssal horror syntax makes it so you don’t need any of the head wings tail etc

#

Once you add the abyssal horror syntax it will generate a whole worm

#

So technically the descriptors can look like this

#

"CreatureID":"^FLYINGSNAKE",
"Descriptors":[
"^_SNAKE_A",
"^_SET_A",
"^_SET_GPXRARE",
"^366051701"
],

buoyant steeple Oct 27, 2021, 2:04 AM

#

Ahh right, that makes sense!

#

What do the numbers underneath GPXRARE do?

lime mesa Oct 27, 2021, 2:04 AM

#

And it will make a white spinal cord looking body with red flesh at the joints, and the eye

lime mesa Oct 27, 2021, 2:04 AM

#

buoyant steeple What do the numbers underneath GPXRARE do?

It’s an identities

#

Identifier*

buoyant steeple Oct 27, 2021, 2:04 AM

There's no clipping with the sandworm head either, so when it closes it's fully hidden. Super cool!

lime mesa Oct 27, 2021, 2:05 AM

#

I’m trying to figure out where to find that set of numbers is in the JSON, because it’s what determines what creature it is

buoyant steeple Oct 27, 2021, 2:05 AM

#

So you think we can get more than just the eye?

#

Or is it the identifier for the worm and not the abyssal horror?

@lime mesa then how do you get them? I’d love to lend a hand too 🙂

vale iron Oct 27, 2021, 6:09 AM

You can look at the DESCRIPTOR files by unpacking the game files and looking in MODELS\PLANETS\CREATURES

lime mesa Oct 27, 2021, 7:01 AM

I have no means of unpacking

vale iron Oct 27, 2021, 7:17 AM

Actually, you can do it without unpacking by using NMS Mod Builder:

I use Modding Station because I prefer the interface for browsing the files, but some have reported errors with it:

I haven't messed with the fur boolean to see if it's as straightforward as it looks

#

Is it?

lime mesa Oct 27, 2021, 8:52 AM

#

I think it is

#

Because it’s just a true false

vale iron Oct 27, 2021, 8:53 AM

#

I think there may be some material file requirements as well, though. The sandworm skin material might not be setup to support fur

#

But only one way to find out

#

Let us know how testing goes

lime mesa Oct 27, 2021, 8:53 AM

vale iron Oct 27, 2021, 11:23 AM

#

Not the kind of coordinates you would need for that. The best I can think of is to place something recognizable like a save beacon outside of a base, then look in the raw JSON building objects folder for that item. I'm not sure it's going to work though, since they are generated by the game. Let us know how it goes.

lime mesa Oct 27, 2021, 11:24 AM

@vale iron could you please explain more about where in JSON are beacons outside the base are located?

#

also - if i'd make a base and grab coords of it basecomputer, would it work?

lime mesa Oct 27, 2021, 11:30 AM

#

the game probably uses a dif language than actual coords

vale iron Oct 27, 2021, 11:37 AM

#

There are three types of coordinate systems: relative to a system zero-point, relative to the planet core, and relative to a base computer. You'd have to track down which one the settlement system uses, probably the second. A base computer should use those coordinates, too, yes.

#

I figured there had to be a way. What was it?

lime mesa Oct 27, 2021, 11:38 AM

#

Only functions 6 eggs at a time

#

The game tracks the "serial numbers" via labeled slots

#

egg slots 0 1 2 3 4 5

#

if the egg isnt in that slot its a dupe or a glitch, so the game wont hatch it

Could you just duplicate the egg then copy and paste the original egg’s code into the next available slot?

if u duplicate the egg u gotta change it's identity to match a slot

#

Ah, so it’s not an exact copy

lime mesa Oct 27, 2021, 11:45 AM

Yes

#

and u can only have 6 eggs, if u get 7 (or more) , all of them but 3 corrupt

vale iron Oct 27, 2021, 11:46 AM

So if you move the egg in the save editor, you would have to update its position in the egg list or it would corrupt?

Wow they really made the eggs hard to crack, huh guys? seanbomination

lime mesa Oct 27, 2021, 11:47 AM

but if u dupe eggs u gotta change the id and corresponding slot in the "serialized egg section" or all matching eggs corrupt

lime mesa Oct 27, 2021, 11:47 AM

#

vale iron I thought that's what the index was for, the x/y

it's not, it's the order (chronologically) that "different" eggs appear in your inventory

#

if u dupe an egg, the number either
A: Changes numbers (egg1 egg2 etc), but doesn't have any reference data in the egg category, and corrupts
B: Doesn't change numbers, and the game checks the same place twice, and only the first egg hatches, the rest corrupt

Adding slots is a very problematic mod to make, while adding stack size to slots is a simple, trouble-resistant mod to make that only affects a handful of lines.

you're probably not going to find a mod for adding slots, because its far more easily done by save editor

#

(same for spaceships and stuff like that)

Your creatures may change but pulling the mod will reset it right back

unborn olive Oct 27, 2021, 10:52 PM

#

well I guess if I have the mod on I can't use #explorers-archive ? that's what I was really concerned about

hushed bronze Oct 27, 2021, 10:52 PM

#

Its like the core game has a formula, and a mod changes the input for x. Then you dont like the mod and pull the custom x value and it just becomes what it was before

#

but the mods will never screw up the formula

unborn olive Oct 27, 2021, 10:53 PM

#

hm... okay

hushed bronze Oct 27, 2021, 10:53 PM

You can use explorer's archive but it would be rude if you didnt specify which mods may affect the thing you found

well obviously; that's why I was asking if things would change lol

#

@hushed bronze I'm checking my past discoveries with screenshots/coordinates and it looks like creatures are the same

#

hushed bronze Oct 27, 2021, 11:07 PM

#

Usually things only change when A mod affects the specific thing. Its unusual for say, space colors to change creatures.

unborn olive Oct 27, 2021, 11:08 PM

#

that's why I only wanted to install color mods so that I can still use #explorers-archive for fauna and spaceships

#

I do plan to eventually do a large modded run with mods that change everything but my goal is to do that on a separate install and on a new save

hushed bronze Oct 27, 2021, 11:10 PM

#

u dont need a separate install. If you accidentally load with the wrong mods, all you have to do is close, change up the mods, and open again. there's no risk of altering your saves in ways that stick

unborn olive Oct 27, 2021, 11:11 PM

#

good point... although I guess it was more of a convenience reason and not having to manually uninstall and re-install mods every time I wanted to change

#

I really wish we had a system like minecraft where we can just launch modded or unmodded

#

or even better, the project zomboid system where mods are save dependent so you have all the mods always installed but they only become active if you load a save that has them checked basically

#

not gonna lie, project zomboid's save dependent mod system is the best I've ever seen regarding how game devs went about handling mods; they even have an option to make mods global and impact all saves

How do I get mods to work. I have Vortex and already put the mods into it. But they don't seem to be working

vale iron Oct 28, 2021, 6:11 AM

#

Don't use Vortex, do it manually. It's just as easy and a lot easier to see where the problems are

#

Go to
Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS
Make sure DISABLEMODS.TXT is gone. Then look in the MODS folder to make sure the PAK files are there. Then check if you are getting a red warning message about mods when you launch the game

rare ridge lads, hwo cna i find out coords of plaent relative ot system center?

You will not be able to find the 'coordinates' (position) directly, it requires some effort and calculations. I would create a base, and place a teleporter. You then check the Teleporter system position (TeleportEndpoints). This is of course not the position of the planet core, but on the surface of the planet. You can then use the position of the Base Computer (PersistentPlayerBases) relative to the planet, the position of the Teleporter relative to the Base Computer, and using the 'forward' vector, to calculate where the core of the planet is. Lastly you would adjust the teleport system position with the core location, to actually get the planet (core) system position.

Hope this makes sense ...

@hushed bronze based on what's in #legacy-screenshots , is it possible for a mod to put water on moons again?

hushed bronze Oct 28, 2021, 4:25 PM

#

It depends. If the water-capable terrain types have simply been delisted, it would be easy.
If HG decided to hardcode a terrain floor override in the exe or something, then it would be basically impossible

#

And before you assume HG would not exe-hard-code something so stupid, just know that there is precedent lol

unborn olive Oct 28, 2021, 4:26 PM

How would one go about checking? I have all the mod stuff setup and files accessible

#

Although it'd have to wait until I get home

hushed bronze Oct 28, 2021, 4:26 PM

#

TBH now that I think on it, since I've never seen a file that differentiates planet from moon, its probably hard coded

#

Thats right, moons dont get to have water, but Airless planets still have all the atmosphere graphics and clouds

#

I'd love it if you checked, but I can't expect someone else to do it lol

Hence why I asked how

hushed bronze Oct 28, 2021, 4:29 PM

I didnt check right this minute but when I was a more active modder I was alll over the files that would have been responsible for this. Ive never seen planet and moon specified separately

hushed bronze Oct 28, 2021, 4:29 PM

In any case, if Im wrong, you would be better off asking around in the modding discord, i think

#

Also, Specifically Rayrod, Mjjstral and a handful of others who have actually made changes to normally unmoddable things like DLLs and exes

Frontiers mods are pretty recent, but some later frontiers updates, and Emergence have changed NMS enough that they still aren't guaranteed to work, unfortunately

#

@teal plaza Do you switch the Nexus sorting to the most recently updated mods?

There's also the possibility that a modder just ran a quick update script and pushed it without checking it properly and it didn't work from the start

Sorry for the ping Gumsk, but @plush urchin this is the data you're going to want to find in the game's JSON. If you're using NMSSE go to Edit > Edit Raw JSON, then click the plus next to the PlayerStateData, then click on the "Pets" file. Your pets will be listed in the order they are displayed in game. It's pretty self explanatory from here, the body parts are pretty clearly labeled as HEAD, BODY, ect. Delete the number or word after HEAD_ and change it to 4 if you want the dragon. If you scroll up from the message I'm replying to you'll find other body type names you can use to experiment with. Good luck! 🙂

plush urchin Hey guys, with the save editor. Is there a way to turn my expedition save to nor...

i don't know that this is The Right Way ™️, but yeah, you should be able to change your expedition save to normal by editing the JSON in a save editor. Before starting, i'd suggest two things: make a backup of your save files, and copy the expedition save to another slot using the save editor (and then edit the copy).
in the pic below is the beginning of the JSON file for a normal save, then a creative save, then an expedition save. The version number dictates the game type. each game type (excluding expeditions) are 512 apart to get to the next version: normal, creative, survival, ambient (yes, it's a hidden type!), and finally permadeath. I think it might actually be easier to convert the save from expedition to normal than from normal to survival or permadeath because of all of the inventory slot changes that would have to accompany it.
if you try it, please let me know how it goes.

the stats for the critter are based off a seed number. because only HG knows the math that turns seeds into stats, no, we can't tweak them. the best we could do would be to substitute known seeds into the json.

the legit way to do this is to lay eggs, resequence them to max the characteristic(s) you want, and then hatch; then repeat. takes time.

does anyone know of a mod that allows you to access all freighter storage containers anywhere on the planet? I know you can access them from the inventory, what I'm talking about is access to whatever is in our storage containers instantly. For example: if you have oxygen in just general freighter storage, you don't even have to put it in your exosuit inventory to refill your Life support. If its in a freighter storage container however, you have to move it to either your exosuit inventory or general storage on your freighter to refill your life support.

round sinew Oct 30, 2021, 4:55 PM

#

matter beam does that

#

at least for some things

#

for example metal plates when building (i have a storage container/storage room with a few stacks of it)

#

also pretty sure that when i'm recharging my living ship's launch thrusters, i don't have 40k oxygen on exosuit+freighter general combined - at max, i'd have about 22k or so - but the value i see on the recharge menu is 40k

You can by using a save editor. It would however be easier to just check the type and seed it uses, to then add that to the other save (if you still have place for ships, 6 max). Exactly copying over a ship, including slots, inventory, tech and whatnot, is more complicated to do right and requires editing the raw json.

For those not in the loop.... There's something called the photonix core in the game files.... It is a very solid pulse engine upgrade, but as the wiki says, it's only available for people who downloaded the day 1 patch.

Photonix Core is a starship upgrade.

I want to see if it's possible to have this upgrade synced not to my specific save game (which I've already done), but to my steam account instead.

P. S. There's also an analogous boltcaster upgrade (Boltcaster SM) that makes for a cleaner bundle for adjacency boosting. I kinda want that one too, but I'm mostly interested in starship and not boltcaster as the photonix core is simply amazing.

You can just add the Photonix Core through the Save Editor by the way. Not sure if removed again upon launch, but I doubt it.

For most pre-order rewards like ships or Multi-tools, you can in most cases just get the seed value to add it that way. Might need a few additional tweaks, but that is the main part

Has anyone had any luck with save editing/mods to clear out discovery data? All I can find is something about type change mods, though in this case i'd be intentionally trying to wipe it to clear out whatever happened.

Thought of just deleting everything in there but doesn't seem like a great idea, not very knowledgeable about the internals of NMS.

No but there is a slim chance in the future. RayRod has put out that NMSProxy that allows for dll injection. That said, it's built with Ray's own plans in mind and he's never been the sort to care much about the companions n things like that. His priorities are generally more like early players with preference toward better world generation and colors

plush urchin Nov 3, 2021, 4:22 AM

Darn, but that is fair. I honestly never understood the limit on companions and eggs.. with so many in different ones. Why only allow players have 6 companions and 6 eggs? I understand only having 6 companions on you.. but I wish they would add some kind of storage system that can only be access at your base or freighter..

Are your discoveries all uploaded? If so, I would recommend just wiping it out completely. You can download the data again as you encounter it

#

The parts I don't know about are ReserveStore and ReserveManaged. No clue what those do

minor moat Nov 3, 2021, 5:02 AM

#

I know ReserveStore seems to have the number of however many discoveries you have in the "Record" section under store (so I think it's total uploaded or something), like I have 0-3208 for entries and ReserveStore is 3209

#

I'm hesitant about wiping it out completely since if this bug is caused by too many discoveries (and old ones being overridden constantly even if re-scanned) it would just happen again. The systems list is super small though on my discovery list.

#

I can't find anything about where it should be hitting the maximum at (other than someone having an 8MB save, mine's 1MB)

vale iron Nov 3, 2021, 5:05 AM

#

Exosolar had enough discoveries that it started losing old ones and he never had any save errors that I know of. I doubt it would be related to quantity.

#

Plus 3209 doesn't seem that high

minor moat Nov 3, 2021, 5:06 AM

#

Rest got wiped I think but it's consisent-ish. Seemed odd that deleting half of either side of the discoveries list stopped whatever it was at least temporarily

vale iron Nov 3, 2021, 5:07 AM

#

That is odd

#

Could be a save size issue? Do you have a lot of really big bases? Though they increased save size compatibility twice recently, so it shouldn't be that.

minor moat Nov 3, 2021, 5:09 AM

#

like 3-ish bases and none too huge, my main savefile size is under 1MB (even lower than the expedition 3 save)

vale iron Nov 3, 2021, 5:10 AM

#

Did you go to any odd places, like phantom systems, or maybe encounter odd names like colored ones?

minor moat Nov 3, 2021, 5:10 AM

#

A backup from like March or something (???) has a save size of like 3MB, creative save is tiny though and still has it. And don't think so, what do you mean by colored names?

vale iron Nov 3, 2021, 5:11 AM

#

There are ways to use colors in text and it's so rare that it could have unintended side effects.

minor moat Nov 3, 2021, 5:11 AM

#

Ah so like a player named object? Don't think so then, I usually have MP disabled and don't often visit other player's areas

#

Only "weird" part is that I have access to 256 (Odyalutai) but considering no one else seems to have the issue I don't think it's related to the galaxy itself.

#

Whatever it is seems to be in DiscoveryManagerData since copying that part of the json in a save editor and pasting it into a test save on creative broke it. Not really sure how much that narrows down

vale iron Nov 3, 2021, 5:14 AM

#

Yeah, I've got plenty in Odyalutai so it shouldn't be that. Did you drill down further, dividing it in half again and again to find what might be doing it or at what size it goes away? That would take a while with 3000 items though

minor moat Nov 3, 2021, 5:15 AM

#

That's what I was attempting, it's kind of picky about when it reproduces the bug though so it can be hard to tell. Like doing one thing exactly will trigger it, then repeating that won't. Almost always tied to doing something then saving though

#

At one point I was just using a teleporter to go between two planets that both had it, 're-scanned' some stuff, went to the other one, and if I saved there like 80% chance it would just wipe either the data from the other planet, or both. At one point I scanned something and then went to save, and it was already gone (less than a minute and hadn't left the planet)

It's possibly triggering when it communicates with the ODS, recognizes a problem, then wipes it to try to correct it.

minor moat Nov 3, 2021, 5:17 AM

#

That's what I was wondering too, do you know when ODS normally "refreshses"?

#

Could explain some of the randomness

Not a clue, unfortunately, but I would guess reloads and saving would be likely candidates

Don't worry about it, and take your time. It's nice that you're doing this for us, and work is certainly more important.

If I wasn't afraid that editing the raw json may lead steam to reinstall it and I have to deal with more dup files. I would be happy to help.

minor moat Nov 3, 2021, 6:01 AM

#

alright I think I finally got a save I can get a 100% repro on, just from loading that save, going through a teleporter, then entering and exiting the ship to autosave.

#

Ok doing the half thing again, think it's in the first half. Going to see if I can narrow it down.

minor moat Nov 3, 2021, 6:49 AM

This is weird. It seems to lose the bug depending entirely on the amount of discovery entries I delete, and not the actual entry itself. Around 100 lines isn't enough, around 200 deletes only flora and minerals from that planet (not fauna)

lime mesa Nov 3, 2021, 6:51 AM

wind agate is there a mod that adds some kinda night vision or something

There’s a texture pack mod thing that basically sets the light level to max everywhere but it gets rid of shadows too and things look a bit plastic

wind agate Nov 3, 2021, 6:53 AM

yeah there's a mod that just makes it 100% daytime too but thats not what I want 🙂

Fair enough

Did you mean like, a mod for a multitool attachment that gives you night vision?

Ok I think what's happening is somehow the "rescan" entries are cut off somehow based on the number of entries I deleted in the discoverymanagerdata.

#

I may just end up deleting the whole thing since I don't think i'll be able to find whatever is causing it in this case, if it's not caused by an overflow of 3200ish entries

#

Though if anyone has a save with a decent amount of discoveries knowing the ReserveStore number would be helpful so I can have a comparison

Mine matches what you said, the same as the number of Store\Record entries

The problem is that the ship are seeded instead of encoded. So there really isn't a colour "attribute" to edit. The whole ship just generates itself off the box. 😬

Not just client side

For anyone who would like to test a mod:

This mod changes the 45deg downward angle thrust trails from spaceships to be straight back like other ships. It affects scientific ships and one dropship/hauler. Also fixes a bad left thruster flame location on the hauler/dropship that has big angled barrel thrusters on the wings. Also fixes locations of some trails.

It needs to be tested with as many ship types as possible. I need pics of any ships thruster flames or trails that seem to be in the wrong place or angled weirdly. Need a wide angle pic of ship for type and close pic of the improper flame/trail location.
I'm trying to include any fixes for other ships that can be found.

Hmm... Winders consumerism should do the trick

You can also do it with Goatfungus's save editor now. There's a menu option to edit account.

So the expedition rewards stuff is implemented in the UI itself or do I have to edit the json?

that's nice

#

I wonder if HG ever plans to make the rewards check server side for ownership

#

I wouldn't mind as long as there would be cross save

nah we should make them into NFTs

#

just make em into blockchains because having em in local saves are never enough and we need to have affirmation from thousands of network nodes

@vale iron I saw you were messing with an entrance into a custom freighter. Would you by any chance know how to adjust the entry point for the space station? I have been looking for that for a while. Not the player entry point (it’s good) but the AI entry point.

(Well maybe not illegal but most likely against NMS ToS)

The best I was ever able to do was have them start their approach farther away so they are lower when they actually get to the station and clip less

Not allowed unless you own the IP, which obviously is not the case
