nms-modding

[vale iron]

I honestly don't know. I would guess that it's possible, but I don't know how to do it right now and would need to try to figure that out

[merry wasp]

Btw @vale iron the new clean mp ui on nexusmods or just as script?

If the latter please gib then i'll convert it to nmsmb script

[vale iron]

Only have it personal right now. I'll update it ASAP

[merry wasp]

Np either is fine for me

Im at work anyway so it'll be for this evening

[vale iron]

I'm about to sleep, so it will be at least 8 hours

[merry wasp]

No problem

No haste behind it anyway

[iron niche]

Any mods to move bases instantly to other planets

[hearty wasp]

NMSC and both save editors support base export and import I think

you can search nexus for either of those terms

just remember planets aren't all flat

[iron niche]

ik, i have method of using base tool to place a little higher

but where do i acess the save editors? @hearty wasp

[hearty wasp]

@iron niche You can pick either NMSSE, or Nom Nom (beta). See links in pin (linked below):
<#nms-modding message>

[stiff stirrup]

For what it's worth I prefer nmsse aka goatfungus editor

[pure coyote]

Someone should mod it so a planet has nothing but Vtubers for wildlife on it.

just minding your own business when a wild Nyanners attacks you

[magic lava]

@pure coyote no gifs or memes in this channel please

Oh hell, wrong channel - nevermind - the occasional gif is ok here

[pure coyote]

🤣

[magic lava]

thought he was in no mans sky

[hearty wasp]

Only if Sean is a Vtuber

[merry wasp]

Isn't he already in your eyes?

[hearty wasp]

Not unless I went ahead and actually did make it my Twitch avatar

[waxen cedar]

Sean head particles for jetpack trails

Sean heads for the trails themselves

[carmine trellis]

um

[waxen cedar]

[carmine trellis]

wat is happening in here

[waxen cedar]

mystery

[carmine trellis]

um

ok i geuss

[vale iron]

It's an ongoing meme of making everything Sean, thanks to @hearty wasp

[carmine trellis]

oh ok

[magic lava]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2054

[stiff stirrup]

I seem to recall a Twitter conversation where ultimatums were presented and more Seans were added

[waxen cedar]

What if they added Sean in real life

[prime imp]

can you help me farther with this? how do you do the god tier glitch with the save editor? meaning, re-skin a living ship to a mechanical one.

[spiral rune]

Isn't it just the alien flag in the json or is that outdated.

Hang on.

[spiral rune]

Not getting the time to confirm it myself, but iirc the only variable Alien ships have to identify themselves is in the ship stats part of the JSON, which isn't even there for normal ships. You could set it to false/0 or delete the block and see what happens.

[vale iron]

Pretty sure this is right, just set it to False and you would be able to use mechanical but not organic parts. Or use a mod and use both mechanical and organic parts.

Ah, to be more precise, I think you delete this section, which flags it as an alien ship:

@prime imp

[prime imp]

Hmm I'll check it out...but I do want alien organs in my mechanical ship..

[vale iron]

The only way I know how to do both is using a mod

Otherwise, every time you reload the game, it detects the invalid parts and deletes them

I could be wrong, though.

[spiral rune]

The game uses at least that variable to flip between 'is_alien' and not, and it will scrub everything to the best of my Starbirth-release fiddling.

There's only so much related to the ships in your save file.

[vale iron]

Yeah, the items have to be modified in the tech table MBIN to make them valid for both ship types to keep them from getting deleted.

[steel crypt]

DUD'S SKY - COLORS updated v3.84.4

[merry wasp]

@vale iron did you update cleanMP?

[vale iron]

No, not yet, but I can get you the current script

[merry wasp]

yeah that be great

[merry wasp]

ill give the NMSMB script when im done with it

[vale iron]

We need a repository for the MB scripts, like the LUAs

[merry wasp]

i got mine already 😄 on the NMS collection under my own scripts 😄

[vale iron]

oh great!

[merry wasp]

still converting a few scripts

expanding the learn more words script rn XD

[vale iron]

There's still a tiny bit of hover text left on comm balls. Don't know how to get rid of that one yet

[merry wasp]

no worries

if can't see them in already happy 😄

[vale iron]

Yeah, no visual, collisions, or popup text is almost everything

So some of the weather really does follow you

[merry wasp]

[latent igloo]

I was wodering if there as a mod that changes up the default 'architecture'? Not what I can build in a base but for what is generated on planets. I'v only got a 150+hrs in and thinking of another run but would like to add a bit of variety in terms of locations. Cheers

[waxen cedar]

Hmm, but that means those effects are only visible for you, right? Like the scripted storm at the very start of the game

[steel crypt]

DUD'S SKY - COLORS updated v3.84.5

[twilit smelt]

anyone here on PS4 and using Savewizard?

[night adder]

@twilit smelt I do, what's up?

[twilit smelt]

I'm looking for someone who's hopefully got a save with a lot of base parts who can hit the maximum part count and then use the save editor to verify it is 16k base parts.

we've done this for Xbox recently. I'd like to make it a clean across-the-board, we've-verified-it-ourselves statement to refute people still claiming the limit is 20k on console.

[night adder]

Is there an editor that tallies total base objects? Because I'm sure as hell not interested in counting 16000 parts manually, especially not when I have no clue how far from it any of my saves are and would need to spend time building on top of it, lol.

[twilit smelt]

it shows per base in the editor, and i made this script make total counting easier (as well as do per-part breakdown for a given base)
https://github.com/weasel-nms/NMS-base-part-count

wires do count as base parts, and are free to build, so i spammed wires at a new base to hit my limit when i did the original experiment a year ago or whatever.

[night adder]

Yeah that's what I was just thinking. Okay, no promises on how soon I'll get to it, but I will.

[twilit smelt]

awesome, i appreciate it.

@night adder the person who did the Xbox check, Doc, started a new save in creative and spammed parts until he hit the limit. This is possible because when it's all in one base, it shows how many parts you're over the upload limit of 3000. this, however, is far more commitment to the cause than i'd be willing to put in, myself. 😆

being able to use an editor avoids all that crap.

hence why i asked if anyone had savewizard.

[night adder]

Same, I have to be over 80% of the way on my main, I hit the limit several months back, but when I got savewizard I duplicated it to another slot, wiped the base data, and moved a bunch of bases over to it.

[twilit smelt]

yeah, i've taken to backing up bases and then wiping that base from the list manually, allowing the uploaded instance to live on for others but not take up space in my save.

[night adder]

I don't build nearly enough to go that far, and I'll likely just sort bases into slots by type at some point to keep access to them all.

I still think of all the things I can do with editing, the one I most appreciate is altering the totaltimeplayed on all of them so they show Slot# x 1000hrs, lmao. Bothered me to no end that remembering the time played on each was the only way to differentiate same mode saves, especially after they gave us 15.

[twilit smelt]

i'm also particularly frustrated by the inability to rename/label a save.

[night adder]

Well, I solved it, I was just too excited when I thought of it to record the actual time played on each beforehand, else I'd still have an accurate number, lmao.

And I just realized that has a solution too. :)

[twilit smelt]

just... add one text field in the file, HG. that's all. and a simple text entry screen in the save picker.

[velvet badge]

guys, need some help with sfx
too loud sound from too much stuff
how does one keep it quiet a bit?
is there a mod that reduces the sfx volume from items?

[steel crypt]

uh Gumsk has some sound removers I think?

@velvet badge

[pure merlin]

Hey, everyone! I am wondering what the rules are around modding the save files to have access to previous expedition mission rewards for those who didn't understand how they worked when they first came out. If this is not a taboo or against the rules, does anyone know how to do it and can give me some assistance?

[vale iron]

Use either save editor, GoatFungus or NomNom, and you can edit the account rewards with simple checkboxes.

[velvet badge]

good enough thanks

is there a mod to cheat the technology overload?
those from nexus seem to have stopped working

[magic lava]

Not sure on mods, I think one of the save editors has that option though

[vale iron]

gGame has a tech overload option

[pure merlin]

Does that become permanent even after the editor is removed? Sorry, I'm really not great at modding 😛

[steel crypt]

There is no "removing" it

You are using a program (save editor) to have a GUI (user interface) for editing the save file.

Once your save file is edited, it is that way.

[pure merlin]

Awesome! Thanks so much for answering my questions 🙂

[steel crypt]

Assuming you're not editing something that reverts due to some game default etc.

What I did was use the goatfungus ediitor.

I made a backup of my save first.

In that editor, you can choose a tab/option for editing your "account"

The account part of the save is what holds the rewards for expeditions.

Once you edit that account, the items will be available to all new and present games tied to that account. @pure merlin

[pure merlin]

awesome, thank you so much!

[mortal night]

Is there a working settlement fast track mod atm? I've tried the ones on nexus mods but they don't seem to work for me.

[carmine trellis]

when you use the nms save editor how do you make a companion bigger ?

[vale iron]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2067

[vale iron]

You have to edit the raw JSON and adjust the Scale, I believe

[left bobcat]

how do i go about moving my base using third party tools?

nomnom has an option for moving the base computer but beyond that i have no clue

[magic lava]

@fallow meadow What do you use to move your bases?

[left bobcat]

id prefer not to rebuild my base from scratch i just want to move it from a planet with hot rain to a paradise one

im trying to move it to the galactic hub captial planet, drogadur NO426

i got a decent spot

[fallow meadow]

@left bobcat Looks like NomNom does not properly support moving a Base Computer, as the UI appears unclear/bugged for it. NMSSE from Goatfungus does support moving a Base Computer, but this will only swap location within an existing base.

With the recent change, base parts are no longer relative to the location of a Base Computer. You wish to even move the base to a completely different location. For this I suggest editing the Raw JSON instead. A bit more complicated and possibly daunting if you have never messed with the data like that. I can guide you through if you wish, but prefer to do this in DM. Let me know, just @ me and I will send you a friend request to help you out.

In short, you'd backup saves, then locate the specific base data in the JSON, to copy the full base data to a text editor. Then you find yourself a new location in-game, place a Base Computer, activate it, and save. Keep in mind how this will become the new Base Computer for your base, so match orientation and keep terrain levels in mind by imagining your base to move to this new spot. Once saved, you look up this new base in the JSON, which will only have the Base Computer. You then only copy all the base part data into this new base data. So you keep the new location data, as well as the Base Computer data, but add all the other base parts to it. Then you save the changes, then save the file. You then check the result in game. Only when the move is satisfied, do you go back to the old base to delete it in-game.

For minor adjustments of the new base, you will need a program called Blender, as well as the Base Builder plugin. If all this becomes too complicated, @ me as said. I am familiar using this and can do this for you instead.

[left bobcat]

alright yeah gladly could use help walking through it

[fallow meadow]

I just sent you a friend request, let me know whenever you are ready to move base

[fallow meadow]

Base from @left bobcat has been moved successfully to a new location in the Galactic Hub.

[magic lava]

Nice, thanks

[left bobcat]

now my mcdonalds is right on the galactic hub capital planet

its a great day for capitalism

[sage crag]

is there a mod to explode atlas yet?

[shy grove]

you know the answer to that.

@sage crag Also, as I said before (<#no-mans-sky message>), if you would like to write one yourself, you're in the right channel to ask. But more importantly, as also discussed before, don't forget our server rules have consequences.

[copper latch]

wasnt sure if this belonged in #nms-questions or here, but im having trouble installing reshade on NMS. whenever I try to install and run it, im not prompted with the reshade menu ingame, but it does work on other games

[vale iron]

Reshade isn't really our area, but someone here might know. #nms-questions might be more likely if you didn't already ask there as well.

[hearty wasp]

May just need a fresh reinstall

If nothing happens maybe the dll didn't work or someshit

[hearty wasp]

I mean they can still ask

It's just that the answer would be "no" everytime

Maybe less verbose each iteration

[shy grove]

First time they asked in Help, they got uncivil about it and managed to get themselves muted and warned. Hence the reminder.

[hearty wasp]

lmao understandable then

tbh they're more likely to get laughed at because I'm here

[night adder]

@fallow meadow Object positions ARE still relative to where the Base Computer was initially built.

[fallow meadow]

The initial location of the Base Computer becomes the '0, 0, 0' position of the base to which all base parts are relatively positioned/oriented, including the Base Computer itself.

[night adder]

Ahhh, thank you for the clarification. :)

[fallow meadow]

Tools like Save Editors and Blender plugin still behave with relative positioning to Base Computer though.

[urban mantle]

does this save editor work correctly?

[urban mantle]

https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor

[hearty wasp]

yes

[urban mantle]

can i edit my save while im playing ?

or will that glitch it out

[round sinew]

iirc, i believe you can? probably need to reload after changes

[merry wasp]

Yes like you said

[stiff stirrup]

Yup works fine for that just be sure to check timestamps and reload the correct save

[subtle pebble]

Is there a way with the save editor to take a creature companion from one save file and add it to another?

[snow vale]

how much mods is the outlaw update gonna break

[hearty wasp]

yes

assume the answer is always yes

[snow vale]

don't have to assume

game crashes when i try to load the save XD

just when i got back into the game

[hearty wasp]

yeah

anyway anything other than model replacements and texture mods are prolly broken

unless reported otherwise

laughs in Thomas

[cloud basin]

everything is broken weeee

[waxen cedar]

and they forgot to implement the bigger asteroid render distance that they had applied on trailer and patch note footage

[merry wasp]

ze download has started

[hazy condor]

THIS GAME HAS MODS!?

Holy Cow

[bold harness]

I don't imagine any save editors are updated for outlaws yet?

Or are they

[hearty wasp]

not in my knowledge

but you can always check their mod pages

and thru there, their githubs

[bold harness]

Just checked the one I use and it hasn't been updated

Didnt think of checking the github until after I sent that :p

[hearty wasp]

no worries

[lime mesa]

It is possible with goatfungus editor, has a export and import feature

[tidal portal]

considering save editing, will we be able to save edit the stats of our squadrons ships?

[lime mesa]

Probably

Im kinda new to save editing but since you can edit stats of pretty much everything in the game i think it would be possible

[bold harness]

Hard to say but I know as a fact there's a bug where you can give the AI your ship and you could modify that

(pressed enter too early by accident)

[subtle pebble]

I found it, but thank you!

[bold harness]

I would wait for the editor to get updated before using it

Personally

[tidal portal]

so i could just get a shit ton of save editited ships and go around with a squad of save editited

[bold harness]

On paper, yes

[hearty wasp]

No

I am not alive

[hearty wasp]

what do you mean

this is the best name

[lime mesa]

Lol I had a general question

[hearty wasp]

wait I replied to the wrong guy

[hearty wasp]

meant to be for you

lmfao

[bold harness]

Hi

[bold harness]

I suppose

[lime mesa]

So I'm trying to use Better Planet Generation mod and the Fine LOD mod but the game crashes. Are they not compatible together?

Oh ok

Lo2k's prolly out for a while yet

Better to just wait and see what's changed

[meager loom]

is it safe to save edit the solar sails right now or no?

[hearty wasp]

you can back up your save beforehand and try it out

just tell us afterwards

[tidal portal]

I assume all editors will be updated SoonTM

[meager loom]

UPDATE: it works on solar sails but obviously can't upgrade cargo, but just dupe storage augmentations for that

just obviously backup your saves because potential problems could happen later on

[waxen cedar]

they literally turned the glitched item from stations into an expedition reward

[hearty wasp]

Big Ball??????

[hearty wasp]

Just checked

Literally just a in-game reward update

i.e. reward table

Maybe some exe changes but I don't expect much

Could be setting up expedition stuff further ig

[stuck relic]

is there a way to transfer items from a normal save to a permadeath save?

I was given a bird companion and wanted to transfer one of his eggs to my permadeath character but i have no experience in modding or save editing. 😒

[stiff stirrup]

Yes

You can even transfer the exact companion, not even the egg

If you are on PC

Aka steam

I hear the game pass version is a bit...touchy about save edits and the like

[stuck relic]

is it easy?

ive not found any tutorials, got no experience with it either

[stiff stirrup]

If you're using the game pass version I can't guarantee anything

Steam version it ain't bad at all

[stuck relic]

yiss, i mainly play steam in vr~

[stiff stirrup]

Right so

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[stiff stirrup]

Hop in there

You'll find a channel for the program they make

What it does is export and import companions and such

Pretty straightforward and easy to use but anyone there can help

It's basically a point and click solution to your problem

However with the recent game update

The save format will have been updated as well so it may take a few days for save editors and similar utilities to catch up

That's normal

[stuck relic]

awesome, thnx

[stiff stirrup]

Hit me up if you need some specific help. Happy to help when I'm available

I think these things are best learned on your own but if you get stuck I'll help

[stuck relic]

if it gets too fucky or complicated, i might request your assistance....or to do it for me....heh ;>

[stiff stirrup]

That server does lots of stuff other than this program though

Can't do it for you

But I can hopefully walk you through it

It's not that hard

[stuck relic]

well, you could probably transfer the egg at least, then hand it off to me. i would hate to waste your time tho

thnx for the link and help~

[wicked slate]

do mods like this work in multiplayer?

@quasi garden

[quasi garden]

so i just download it and am able to get the QS Stuff?

kinda updating rn, forgot most of JSONs, anyone remember any of em?

@vale ironI believe you found Outlaw cape's code earlier, lost track about where you wrote about it.. Can you tell me about it?

[hearty wasp]

Getting Head in particular ultilises vanilla customisation IDs so everything is vanilla to begin with

[stiff stirrup]

It basically just bypasses the unlock mechanics

[hearty wasp]

the new capes in particular are

CAPE_ATLAS
CAPE_PROTO
CAPE_PIRATE

[stiff stirrup]

If I understand it right

[hearty wasp]

cape jetpack is BACKPACK_CAPE

[mental marsh]

Wait, three?

I thought there was only two rn

[hearty wasp]

and the hood is REG_HEAD_HOOD01

[hearty wasp]

CAPE_PROTO is unused in vanilla

Getting Head makes this available and you can check the mod page to see what it looks like

[mental marsh]

I see, alr

[stiff stirrup]

I did not see the hood when I was tinkering around is it race specific or hidden somewhere stupid in the menus?

[hearty wasp]

It's an Anomaly helmet

It's also a mission reward I think

[mental marsh]

messed up, but gotta check work rn

[hearty wasp]

Not that you can't get em with Getting Head/Consumerism

[mental marsh]

idk which one did I made mistake of. lol

[hearty wasp]

Outlaw cape should be the cape_pirate

[mental marsh]

Gotcha

[hearty wasp]

I'd track the rest down for you but I'm lazy

[stiff stirrup]

Odd. Pretty sure I'm an anomaly right now. Arg. I'll go digging again.

[mental marsh]

just returned on this game after like 2 months of work 🥲

forgot these three's code rn lol, I'm sure I've memo'd it somewhere..

pain

[hearty wasp]

You can find all of em in CHARACTERCUSTOMISATIONDESCRIPTORGROUPSDATA

If you have an unpacked game

[mental marsh]

if I didn't removed that, rip.

[stiff stirrup]

Must have been a German designer oof

[mental marsh]

I had to for make a space

[carmine trellis]

save edit makes expedition life easier

ngl

[hearty wasp]

Save editing just makes things easier in general

[carmine trellis]

true

[hearty wasp]

If you know what to change

[mental marsh]

making that list solely to track all the items this game have given to us.

You need to know code and seed after all. lol

[carmine trellis]

i jsut imported my maxed ship and multitool lmao

[mental marsh]

brrt

[hearty wasp]

I mean most of these are in the game files if you know where to look lol

[mental marsh]

^

cant do rn, I have to go within 4 minutes lol

[hearty wasp]

Mostly reward table, product table, and the one I mentioned above

[mental marsh]

oh well

[hearty wasp]

And language files

[mental marsh]

might gotta do it next week if I cant update it now xd

[mental marsh]

Yeah, I'll mark the location, seeing of it, I gotta unpack game later anyway

Thanks for help.

[hearty wasp]

With AMUMSS you can unpack just the metadata and language files with its explorer answay

Those prolly woll lnly set you back a couple hundo mb max

[mental marsh]

I was just messing with full unpacked file months ago, lol

[astral hollow]

Greetings, I have a mod request. I'm hoping for a mod that allows crafting/upgrading some of the base game things to the special/expedition upgrades/variants. e.g. the engine, hyperdrive, launch thrusters. I'm guessing that the easiest way of doing it would be adding a recipe that includes the normal item as an ingredient (and there for removed when the new item is added).
Yes, I could probably spend ages and finally manage to make the mod myself but I'm also aware that I'm unreliable and the thought of having to maintain a mod properly in the future is likely to be outside my capabilities. I'm more than willing to invest in a willing mod author.

[mental marsh]

Im not really a modder or something.. dumb me just forgot I would need these again later on. lol

[stiff stirrup]

When save editor is updated you can add that stuff to your ships manually it ain't hard

[carmine trellis]

trew

[astral hollow]

Indeed, but it breaks immersion a step too far for me. Having a mod like Craftable Upgrade Mods that gives me a 'reasonable' investment of in game effort would be ideal.

[stiff stirrup]

At any rate until what the update changes is understood mods are kinda on hold - all those that exist will need updating, save editor as well.

What you're wanting can be done but probably best to wait a while

[astral hollow]

Indeed, I just thought 'it would be nice' while going through and disabling mods.

[carmine trellis]

im sad cause i use a trainer called WEmod but its gonna take a while for it to update 😦

[astral hollow]

I often struggle during that gap between a shiny new game/dlc/update and my favored community tweaks being ready.

[hearty wasp]

@merry wasp do you wanna get paid to add recipes

[stiff stirrup]

I found the hood. It's locked behind a mission but at least I know where it is now. Thanks y'all

Lol

[hearty wasp]

they offered lol

If there's actual money in it I'll learn to mod and make the damn thing 😁

I've modded plenty of other games. Just not this one

[astral hollow]

Heh, I know I could make the mod (eventually), it's the maintenance that scares me. I patreon some mod authors for one game, partly to thank them for their hard work and partly to continually encourage them to keep the mods I enjoy as up to date as is reasonable.

[merry wasp]

Youmean like this?https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1944?tab=files

Got one for custom foods too

[astral hollow]

That's one I use, but I'm wanting the custom ship bits that you only seem to get legit on the expedition starters.

[merry wasp]

Those special engines?

[astral hollow]

Yes the engines, launch thrusters, hyperdrives that have unique bonuses

[merry wasp]

Thats easy

Well should be

[astral hollow]

Moderately, I think I know how to do it even as with amuss support but it would take me ages compared with someone more capable.

[merry wasp]

I could take a look tonight after work

[astral hollow]

Much appreciated 🙂

[vale iron]

Someone more capable started out at the 'takes me ages' stage, so somewhere to start for yourself 😉

[merry wasp]

True dat

Altho i could do it nmsmb now :D

[astral hollow]

Aye, I mean I used to make my own Explorer codes for my FFVII way back in the day. But I'm getting grey now and trying to maintain coding patterns across so many formats/languages is starting to get challenging keeping up.

[vale iron]

Understandable, just trying to be encouraging :)

[astral hollow]

I appreciate that 🙂 I'm developing a right person for right job methodology atm.

[hearty wasp]

back in my day we just do it all in exml 👴

tbh jason still kinda does

[vale iron]

Are there any people left that do hex editing?

[astral hollow]

Sadly not all of my well used mods accept donations. I've started voting with my wallet. I value my entertainment time at about £1 per hour minimum (way cheaper than an evening out) so I'm happy investing in a £60 game as long as I'm expecting to get more than sixty hours of gameplay our of it. Free to play games I tend to buy packs to match how much time I enjoy the game for.

[astral hollow]

Aye raises hand

[vale iron]

Respect

I wouldn't do it if it required hex

[hearty wasp]

lo2k?

fast actions etc

[astral hollow]

There are still uses/trainers that use it.

[hearty wasp]

he's familiar with some globals at least

[vale iron]

Oh yeah, smaller one value changes

Makes sense

[hearty wasp]

only kinda hex editing I ever did are to geometries

string name fields

[astral hollow]

Memory editing is always fun, but only on single player games... I'm a bit old fashioned. I only add the QS to buy a void egg to my new games because I've done the grind to get it once already.

It's easy to make something too easy and by removing the challenges the game presents you remove the feelgood factor of achieving it. I guess I'd call myself a moderate cheater 🙂

[vale iron]

Yeah just depends on what gives you joy from the experience

[hearty wasp]

wait, modding gives you joy?

[steel crypt]

I don't hex edit on purpose

[astral hollow]

Indeed, I have major problems with consoles in general, I know they are gaining ground on the modding front but the idea of playing some games 'nilla scares me

[spiral rune]

More like the vengeful satisfaction of making it work despite all it's attempts to do anything but. It's like working with high security cylinders or opening a car with a relocker.

[astral hollow]

Kinda, it's almost a battle of wits with vs the coders sometimes.

[steel crypt]

I like these conversations where it's like "everyone uses AMUMSS or yada yada....well except for this one guy."

[vale iron]

We like that one guy though! ;)

[hearty wasp]

that's me when I make meme mods

I will solve world hunger in my next one, apparently

[vale iron]

Haha yeah just requires two emotes

[astral hollow]

Or when I mod something into the game that is so far outside the scope of the game devs plans that they jaw drop...

[vale iron]

I'd love to see live reactions of devs when they first see some mods

LikeSean Sean's Sean

[hearty wasp]

he did say he's ruined

[vale iron]

I wonder if any of them play with custom ships. That would be cool to hear

I guess playing with any mods at all would be bad practice in general

[astral hollow]

I think you'd be surprised 😉

[vale iron]

I'd love to see Sean in an interview "and here's me flying Serenity"

[spiral rune]

I mean given what the engine was built for in some timeline that might have just been a vanilla feature.

[astral hollow]

Particularly if you consider that most games have codes/modes that let the devs spawn whatever they like simply for testing stuff. Using said codes/modes in your private gamage time counts as 'modified' gameplay to me..

[merry wasp]

@astral hollow not sure if you're interested in a mod that lets you add your own custom foods XD

[astral hollow]

Heh, I'll have a look 🙂

[merry wasp]

https://github.com/MetaIdea/nms-amumss-lua-mod-script-collection/tree/main/Jackty89/FoodProject

I can only share the scripts rn

V2 should be the latest for either

https://github.com/Jackty89/FoodProject

There, had to look for my own github page XD

[tidal portal]

NMS SE when? I use NOMNOM...

heh IK its being worked on

[hearty wasp]

when it's done ™️

[merry wasp]

gotta find those damned exp tech id's

pain

[distant orchid]

Does the mod where it randomizes your starting multi-tool and ship work?

[pale stream]

What happened to the AMUMSS mod channel?

[hearty wasp]

you're in the wrong server?

!moddinglink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/22ZAU9H

[pale stream]

Oh

Its just AMUMSS said they had a channel here

I guess they moved

[hearty wasp]

nop

always been the modding server

you prolly just read it wrong and assumed it's here

or they wrote it confusingly

[merry wasp]

@astral hollow still rough build rn

[pale stream]

Knowing myself I probably did

[hearty wasp]

either way just go over there

[merry wasp]

not sure if there's other tech for now

[pale stream]

I did. Got the help I was looking for

Thanks for the server link

[native nest]

does any one know where to find seeds for new solar ships?

[stiff stirrup]

Not yet

Save editors aren't updated yet.

Give it time.

[native nest]

❤️

[fallow meadow]

@native nest Try here:

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[native nest]

appreciate it

[fallow meadow]

@native nest @stiff stirrup Save Editors may not have updated yet, but with NMSSE it will just call it an 'Unknown' ship. The biggest part of what is needed is present. Only some parts are missing, cargo for example. Still functional otherwise though, without issue

[stiff stirrup]

I got quite a few unknown errors when starting it. I'm not using it until it's updated. Really don't wanna bork my old save.

[hearty wasp]

tbh you can edit the json straight with a text editor too if you know where you're gonna be lookin for

[fallow meadow]

If you are referring to the warnings shown in the console window, those are just indicating new 'mapping' names. It uses those as is, without giving them a human readable name. Nothing to worry about for that matter. A backup is always a smart thing to do. Up to you though ... all good.

[hearty wasp]

NMSSE does automatic backups anyway

[fallow meadow]

... and that too 👍

[astral hollow]

That look great (sorry for delay replying)

[merry wasp]

no worries

ill work on it tomorrow a bit more, still need to make it into a lua too

if you have NMSMB i can give you the script

[cloud basin]

those are already covered

by NMSMB default set

just not unlocked with nanites but by default

[cloud basin]

oh and note, the pulse engine doesn't work

the warp engine however does

and adds like 700-800 LY

[merry wasp]

i updated craftable upgrade mods yesterday, it also has NMSMB scripts now

compile time on NMSMB is great for that mod

lie 30 secs compared to 10mins on lua XD

[astral hollow]

Much appreciated, I don't have it atm (tbh I still am hiding from the amumss as well) taking the easy route with just the Workshop and Vortex

[cloud basin]

jesus christ

it takes seconds for me

with AMUMSS

[merry wasp]

yeah but you'll need to use AMUMMS or NMSMB for merging mods

[merry wasp]

you're talking about craftable modules

[astral hollow]

Yea, I'm aware that I am going to have to get my hands a little more dirty 😒

[cloud basin]

ye and my tesseraction fork/upgrade

[merry wasp]

"dirty" more like, drop lua files in folder modscript, and run buildmod.bat

thats it, mod merged after compile :p

[merry wasp]

im talking about this https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1944

slightly bigger mods 🙂

[cloud basin]

but if you're gonna be making a proper mod out of it, @merry wasp add the phoronix upgrade and the solar sail thing

[merry wasp]

give me some time will ya :p

it really hard to mod without id lookup from NMSMB

[astral hollow]

I game with some friends who aren't as comfortable with much more than drag and drop for mods to work, I figured as long as I can lazy it it's within their capablilities

[merry wasp]

well the issue with AMUMMS is the setup

NMSMB is more userfriendly on that part i'd say

[astral hollow]

I guess at some point I'll have to start throwing them 'merged mods' a-la Bethesda

[merry wasp]

again if you have AMUMMS merging is rather easy

that the only hurdle

past that see if the mod you downloaded has lua and merge them with other mods

[astral hollow]

Again, I appreciate your time @merry wasp feel free to DM me a method to thank you.

[merry wasp]

it's not finished yet

still have 2 mod idea's left to make and as i already made craftable upgrade mods i had the skeleton code for this mod anyway :p

why it took me like no time to make

reworking craftable upgrade mods again, gonna use custom lang files, should improve it's compile time

[sage widget]

Helloes, I was wondering. Is there a way for me to mod my PC NMS and add my friend to the game who is playing Cross-Play on the Xbox Series S to also experience the mods?

[stiff stirrup]

You can play with your friend. But console people can't use mods

Any you have will be visible only to you

Unless it's the sort that uses default parts and stuff that's available to anyone. They can see that stuff.

[sage widget]

Dang, that sucks. I was hoping there was a little known mod that would allow it

Nods lots and lots Thankies 🙂

[normal pine]

Anyone here know which paks would contain ship spawn rates?

@ me if anyone has an answer 🙏🏻

[fallow meadow]

@normal pine I believe that would be METADATA\REALITY\TABLES\INVENTORYTABLE.MBIN
Currently will not decompile though, so you may have to wait on MBINCompiler to update

[normal pine]

Thank you kindly

[night adder]

@normal pine If it helps, in civilized systems there are still 21 ships that spawn, 1 shuttle has been replaced by a solar

[normal pine]

🙏🏻

[meager loom]

does anyone know how to switch a save from survival to normal mode with the json?

i think they might've changed the version numbers in outlaws but i'm uncertain

[fallow meadow]

Game mode values have been updated, check the pins

And in case you are unsure where to find this value in the JSON, it is right up at the top, called "Version"

[meager loom]

yeah i know all of that i was just wondering if someone knew the normal version off the top of their head, i'll make a new save and look real quick

[fallow meadow]

Normal = 4650

[meager loom]

thank you

[fallow meadow]

See pin here for all values: <#nms-modding message>

[lapis urchin]

hi, there is some mod for reduce popping and increase radius of vegetation? tyy

ah and increase capacity inventory in survival mode for be like in normal?

[vale iron]

Ship spawn rates are mostly in solargenerationglobals, which also doesn't decompile right now

[normal pine]

😵‍💫

[shadow moon]

does anyone know a good mod to increase sentinal difficulty? Like a mod that messes with the damage or fire rate?

[steel crypt]

Not one that works.

[merry wasp]

Inventory rebalance, pick the unbalanced version

[teal lance]

Guys i know nothing about modding, but is it possible to make a mod that would put save beacon-like tags on planets?

So that you would know where the planets are.

[stiff stirrup]

Fly in first person. Your radar screen already does that.

[teal lance]

Oh

Ok

Thanks

😌

[timber sluice]

Can someone make a mod that keeps the solar sails from extending? I prefer the way my ship looks when its landed but obviously, once you fly it, the wings extend.

[stiff stirrup]

It will probably happen eventually

Mods are mostly on hold. The compilers and whatnot ain't updated yet

[dapper orbit]

I wish I played on pc for this exactly

[vale iron]

It's something I plan on looking into when things are running again

[lime mesa]

So I have a question, I missed out on the last expedition and I sadly didn’t up getting the robot companion, is there any other way to get it with mods?

[merry wasp]

consumerim

i think

[lime mesa]

Consumerim?

[merry wasp]

!nexus-link

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2062

there

[lime mesa]

Awesome

I’ll look into it, thanks bruv

[scenic star]

Any mods that fix flight controls for mnk? Specifically binding roll to mouse like most other games?

[hearty wasp]

no

[stiff stirrup]

I wish.

The flight controls are awful. I have no idea why they didn't use the standard model that's been established for 20+ years

[merry wasp]

Idk i think locked normal is pretty ok

[hearty wasp]

just use a controller

[lapis urchin]

ty very much!!

[merry wasp]

yw, hope you like my mod 🙂

[lapis urchin]

you know what we need ❤️

[meager loom]

they need to make the solar ships quieter man

i can't hear myself think when launching

[stiff stirrup]

I'm hoping some modder figures out how to keep the "parked" shape active in flight. They're good looking ships.

Or perhaps a quick menu toggle

Fold up and deploy ship

[meager loom]

has anyone somehow gotten the heretic or traitor title?

i think they were new in the update and no one online is talking about them

and they're not in the wiki

meaning there is likely a new quest or its coming soon

[hearty wasp]

prolly

but you can get em now with Consumerism

anyway once we can access the reward table and mission table again it'll bee easy to check

as long as there are people to check it

[nimble saddle]

So, if I change the max size of my ships tech inventory, could that cause problems in the future?

[plush atlas]

over 48 slots yes

when i did it my game would freeze on load

[nimble saddle]

Oh, I'm just adding a single row. Thanks for the hep!

Was fed up with not being able to put my tech in the tech inventory

[plush atlas]

btw there is a mod to increase the max for exosuit to 48 aswell

[nimble saddle]

Oh cool

Maybe I should have a look at the mods that are out there, sounds interesting

[plush atlas]

here

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2006

has anyone got the seeds for the sentinel upgrades?

[tidal portal]

NMSSE updatedyet

I doubt it but still asking

[plush atlas]

no because i use it myself

we also need to wait for a mbin update

[hearty wasp]

you can just keep track of it on its github page

no need to keep asking

not to mention NMSSE auto updates

and you'll know because it downloads it for you when you run the bat

[tidal portal]

but I dont have nmsse installed LOL

I use NOMNOM

[hearty wasp]

then keep track of it on the github page

no need to keep asking

[tidal portal]

aight

[merry wasp]

it works tho

[tidal portal]

not on solars

[merry wasp]

true

[proper flame]

How do I use save editor on Xbox one

[plush atlas]

you cant

[proper flame]

=[

I want to play with fire

[plush atlas]

its pc and ps4 only

[proper flame]

= [

[plush atlas]

(ps4 if you buy some shit software)

but pc is free

[proper flame]

A PC is not free

[plush atlas]

i meant the software

[proper flame]

Oh

[lime mesa]

Lmao

[twilit smelt]

if you have a PC to install the game from the MS store, for which you're entitled if you have the Xbox version, the save syncs over. Can then edit there.

[lime mesa]

Does Vortex work with NMS or do I have to download the mod to the PCBANKS folder

[proper flame]

I don’t have PC

And why would I buy the game twice?

[twilit smelt]

the two save editors are PC apps, so that's not good for your options.

[twilit smelt]

you don't. the license applies to the PC version. you sign into the MS store with your existing Xbox account. (you know, if you have a pc.)

[proper flame]

[which I don’t because poor]

[twilit smelt]

PCs are expensive. increasingly so in recent years. the positive thing is they do more than play games, so not exactly a fair comparison, but yes, it eliminates a lot of people from having one suitable for gaming in 2022.

[fallow meadow]

I hear mixed results with Vortex. NMM seems to do a bit better if you insist on using a manager. I would however suggest to just go manual with NMS, as it is really easy to mod. Drop all the mods (.pak files) into the MODS folder within PCBANKS (create if not present), not the imposter in GAMEDATA. Remove or rename the DISABLEMODS file, and you're good to go

[lime mesa]

And also, how does mods fair when playing Multiplayer?

[fallow meadow]

Works fine, but mods are client side only, with only some changes being visible by others. There is an extensive post about MP in the pins

[lime mesa]

Good to know, and one last question, than I'll be outta your hair, but what Save Game editor do you recommend?

[plush atlas]

https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor

[fallow meadow]

I personally recommend NMSSE (goatfungus) currently. NomNom has great promise, but still actively being worked on (beta), therefor not fully featured yet, although functional

[lime mesa]

Awesome, thanks

[final lake]

are all mods broke right now? i can't get next to any to work

[arctic maple]

Outlaws broke the good chunk of them yeah

[final lake]

bummer

i love my star wars ships...

[vale iron]

If it's a problem with gShip Custom Ships, I'd like to know so I know what to look for whenever I am able to fix it. Winder might like to know if you have a bug report on Ships of Moar.

[final lake]

uh, i think its with all g- mods, because if i put one in, it just crashes my game, or freeze's it, i don't get an error

i can get to the menu, but can't load a game.

[stiff stirrup]

With reports like that I'm out. My game does that clean and unmodded with my janky ass video card

A test from me would not be useful

At least on the functionality of mods 🤣

[formal prairie]

Anyone can recommend me some performace mods recently started playing again and the experience when from janky to nauseating. Have a potato PC so would really help

[merry wasp]

It does

[hearty wasp]

It's better to double check if Vortex installed your mods correctly cos I've had a few reports of it fucking up the placing filed in the right place part

[hearty wasp]

Neither should be broke

Descriptors don't really get changed much

[odd shell]

Is there a working mod for shorter scan time?

[vale iron]

Only if you see one updated in the past couple of days

[odd shell]

OK

[plush atlas]

were still waiting for mbin compiler to be updated to 3.85

no mods till thats done

[waxen cedar]

Also doesn't edition your ps4 saves meant that you can't go online with that account anymore? Isn't sony very strict with that stuff?

[plush atlas]

yeah (i think you have to jailbreak your console too)

[mental marsh]

Updated limited cosmetic tab as an archive purpose.

Most of editors have the ability to add limited cosmetics on their own.
But some, such like goatfungus requires you to disconnect internet to accept item via Quicksilver Synthesis Companion in-game, which can be quite annoying time to time.

You could add them manually by yourself from here without hassle, I'll add rest of them if it is requested or needed, or have time for it. Have fun o7

[plush atlas]

thanks ill look into it

[magic socket]

Hi there. Is it any mod for inventory auto sorting?

[vale iron]

No

[merry wasp]

like in planet crafter?

[bleak geode]

Hi there..Im new here. Mods seem to be safe for use in multiplayer. Are there any big no-noes? Or mods which could get me banned?

[mental marsh]

no, all safe

this game is basically singleplayer but can do multiplayer, that's all

[mental marsh]

You can literally see above the list I made which give you full list of previous event's rewards to make it easier to cheat stuff into your save, yet it is safe to use.

no worries.

[bleak geode]

Thank you. I havent seen anything bad in the pins here as well

[vale iron]

There have been fewer than a handful of people banned from NMS that we know of, and it's definitely not from modding

[waxen cedar]

well they used mods/save edits in their griefing activity that lead to the ban so... using mods doesn't directly result in anything but using them for continuous harm towards others will

[odd shell]

Do shader or enb or what they are called work with latest version?

[blazing oar]

Where can I find an updated and working mods for the game?

[odd shell]

I'd like to know that too but all i can think of is nexusmod and sort by datge

date*

[hearty wasp]

^

sort by last updated

unless it's model replacement/texture mods

[grizzled flare]

reported a base by accident, help section told me to come over here. how can i fix this? I was playing in multiplayer

[shy grove]

fix? as in, do you need to see the base again?

[grizzled flare]

yeah

[round sinew]

i'm sorry, you dropped by and everything. i totally forgot that save editors haven't been updated yet to be compatible with the latest update, i'm so sorry!

but!

basically, this page tells the update history for the save editor we would be using https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor/commits/master

as you can see, last update was more than 1 month ago, last update dropped this week - so it's just a matter of staying tuned

when that happens, i/we'd be happy to help you out - until then, well, there's only one alternative

that being said, and this is going #nms-questions in #nms-modding , but, if you and @lime mesa are progressing through the storylines at the same time, each of you should really have their own base computer, and not mix things up to avoid issues with progression.

[lime mesa]

Well that's fair

But what's the alternative?

[round sinew]

you build a new base, and continue your progression there. somewhere on the same planet is fine. can even delete the first one you built that @grizzled flare cannot see atm.

[lime mesa]

Aight that's pretty simple

The base wasn't too far built anyway

[round sinew]

oh, i initially thought it was a more evolved base 😄

[grizzled flare]

Nope. We had just started it

[round sinew]

well, i guess that's not as a big as of a problem then

but please

what i mentioned about each of you having their own base computer, is important

place them at least 2500u away from each other

in case eventually you need to start playing around with base expansion (check one of the pinned posts in #nms-questions )

[grizzled flare]

Alright, thank you for the help

[round sinew]

np, yw. also, thanks to @lime mesa for making first contact

[lime mesa]

Thank you for the assistance

[lime mesa]

All my mods are borked cause of the update now lmao

[merry wasp]

some still work

[lime mesa]

Well yeah

But my main one, NMS Fantasy is broken

[languid dawn]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2224

you sure about that?

[lime mesa]

oh hey dope

guess it updated

yeah lol thats the preview version

thanks!

[languid dawn]

I've been using it since last night. it's working great so far

[lime mesa]

awesome

[languid dawn]

and of course as soon as I say that I run into my first issue lmao

[merry wasp]

@astral hollow

lua version

not sure where i'd put the tech for now, if you have any idea's where in they ship tech please give me a hint 😄

[nimble saddle]

Will removing the Photon Cannon via save editor have any negative side effects?

[left sentinel]

no

you can install it again if you so wish

the Golden Vector doesnt have a photon cannon

[merry wasp]

got a mod for that

no need for save editor

[hearty wasp]

when it works

[merry wasp]

it works

at least it should as im using it currently 😄

XD

[nimble saddle]

I already have the save editor, so a lot easier for me

Btw, is there anything you don't have a mod for?

[merry wasp]

well technically once installed you don't have to reload save and can do it on any ship XD

but whatever floats your boat 🙂

[nimble saddle]

Mhh, now that's temping 😂

[merry wasp]

also able uninstall mining beam

[nimble saddle]

Oh sweeet

No I gotta see how to compile that

[merry wasp]

AMUMMS

[nimble saddle]

Is that LUA?

[merry wasp]

yes

[nimble saddle]

So, NMS has a mod API, right?

[hearty wasp]

no

actually, if you put it really loosely...

[merry wasp]

i can give you the pak if you dont have any other mods

[nimble saddle]

Thanks, but I think I'll get it to work

[merry wasp]

or NMSMB script

if you have that 😄

[peak vine]

is there a mod that spawns a ship with certain parameters? (this body type, this wing, etc)

or allows you to customize ships?

[merry wasp]

you can edit your seed with save editor

[peak vine]

seed?

and what does that have to do with ships

pls be patient, I'm a noob. Literally 5 days old

[hearty wasp]

seed is a bunch of numbers

seed like dna

seed leads to a combination of ship

change seed

change ship

[peak vine]

how do you change this seed

[hearty wasp]

with a save editor like GameMaster said

#nms-modding message

check the last 2 links in linked message

apparently NomNom has been causing unverified issues to saves so NMSSE may be a saver bet

either way, backing up your saves is recommended

[peak vine]

how do you back up saves

[hearty wasp]

you copy them

and then paste them elsewhere

NMSSE does it automatically

[peak vine]

ok

how do you use NMSSE to tailor a ship to your needs? (appearance wise)

[hearty wasp]

you find the seed

you copy the seed

you paste the seed into the "seed" field under the ship tab

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[hearty wasp]

you can find the seed easier in the server linked

[peak vine]

tbh still confused but thanks

at least I have a potent tool now

[desert kettle]

@solar dock alright I'm moving it this channel you can still play with friends and do quests but you will be floating due to the difference in planets

I also have some crazy cool screenshots if you want to see them

I would highly recommend BPG

Also if your friend is using the mod then you will see the same

[solar dock]

Alright, I may want to install this after I finish this update’s expedition

Thanks!

[sage creek]

any easier ways to get structure blueprints

i am hearing that i just have to search for them

[fallow meadow]

Not quite sure if I understand correctly, but are you looking for a mod that unlocks all vanilla building parts?

[steel crypt]

"search for them" might mean going to manufacturing facility? You can get them from the anomaly. I don't understand the question either.

[sage creek]

like just around the planet

in random spots

i am hearing that is how i find building blueprints

[fallow meadow]

It has been made easier in-game, as said above. You just dig for enough Salvaged Data items on planets, to then unlock whichever construction BluePrint you like on the Anomaly

[sage creek]

alright

[languid dawn]

I saw some really old talk about a mod to remove the free freighter. did anything ever happen with that? I can't find anything on the nexus, even in outdated mods

[vale iron]

I have a busted up LUA adapted from Exosolar's old mod, but it's buggy. Probably completely broken now.

[languid dawn]

damn, that's what I figured

reading through the old chat it sounds like it's a much harder thing to mod than it seems at first

[vale iron]

It's not terribly complicated, and someone better with missions could probably fix it pretty easily. I'm just not great at missions, plus I haven't looked at it in a long time

[languid dawn]

Fair enough. How complicated is NMS modding? I saw that new SDK but I've never cracked the game open to try

[sage creek]

how do you unlock the locked helmets? do you complete quests?

[vale iron]

Not a modding thing, but some you buy, some you get as quest rewards, some you get as expedition rewards.

[sage creek]

where can i buy helmets and stuffs

[vale iron]

Some mods are extremely easy, just change one value; others can get far more complicated, like Eucl-ea

[vale iron]

Again, not a modding thing, but from the quicksilver merchant

[stiff stirrup]

Is to modding thing. Getting head unlocks all those

😁

[vale iron]

But that doesn't answer the question

Though fair point I should have mentioned it

[sage creek]

do i find that in the space station? i am quite new

the anomaly one right

[vale iron]

Yes. You need to use #no-mans-sky or #nms-questions for these types of questions, though.

[vital tide]

Anyone willing to sell moded pet eggs. Dm me.

[sage creek]

oh i thought i was in that channel oops

my bad

[night adder]

Question - where should I send a bug report for NMSSE? Don't know who/where to contact those who work on it.

[stiff stirrup]

Probably something on the GitHub

That's where I'd start if I didn't know who to contact.

There's often some sort of feature for bug reports and issues etc there. Probably need an account though

[night adder]

Oh well, I'm only willing to go to so much effort to report it, and signing up for something is past that point, lol. If someone else cares to tell em, when you use the coordinate viewer to save edit your position, inputting a Portal code doesn't work properly - it displays the correct coordinates, but the X value it sends you to is 7FF (Glyphs)/0FFE (coords)

Inputting galactic coords works properly though, for those who use this feature.

[stiff stirrup]

Someone on the creative hub might know the creator or have contact.

Can't hurt to ask around in there

[merry wasp]

Als nmsde might be broken due to update ;)

[night adder]

@merry wasp It doesn't recognize things that are new, but its functionality in regards to anything else works hasn't been affected.

[vital phoenix]

OK, I'm in the GCUSERSETTINGSDATA.XML file...there's 2 settings called:

    <Property name="LastSeenCommunityMissionTier" value="-1" ```
What are they for?

[stiff stirrup]

Not sure, but -1 tells me they aren't set or used.

That's a common unused placeholder

[vital phoenix]

Yea, or it denotes that it's already unlocked. Though, since it says 'Community Mission', I figured it might be expeditions, but Gleam said it wasn't.

[stiff stirrup]

All the expedition stuff can be found on the account tab of the nmsse editor aka goatfungus

Twitch drops too.

Except the newest stuff

That's not been updated yet

[magic lava]

Consumerism is updated

[stiff stirrup]

You can add them manually with a JSON edit

Or use the mod

[vital phoenix]

Yea, I'll use the save editor...I was in the files to change the FoV (after accidentally resetting graphics settings), but will use the program for adding stuff.

[stiff stirrup]

Can't change that in the game settings?

Mine has that option.

[vital phoenix]

In-game FoV only goes to 100. I've set it to 150.

[stiff stirrup]

That makes me dizzy just reading it

[magic lava]

Mine is 75 on foot

100 in ship

[vital phoenix]

It's not bad at all in-game. But the most benefit is in flight, with a very wide viewing angle...good for dog-fights.

[vital phoenix]

I can't play at anything below 90 now...

[stiff stirrup]

I have 90 for both. I've not really had much desire to turn it higher.

I've got a tiny screen.

[vital phoenix]

That makes sense. I've got around 20", 16*9 screen...

[stiff stirrup]

15ish laptop screen. And it's usually a good bit away from my eyes

Can't see it otherwise.

Getting old sucks

[vital phoenix]

That's tiny, though...

Also...
<Property name="UseArbSparseTexture" value="false"
That is what setting in-game?

Or, if it's solely a file setting...what does it change?

[fresh rivet]

Anyone else's mods stop working?

[stiff stirrup]

That is normal after a big update

Takes a week or two normally to get everything updated again

[fresh rivet]

Okay, cool, thanks!

[stiff stirrup]

This being a holiday time might be a bit longer

[merry wasp]

some mods are updated tho, so double check

[fallow meadow]

Not a setting available in-game, merely a solution for or extension dealing with the amount of textures used in memory. Here for example you can read the overview part to see it described for OpenGL: https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL/extensions/ARB/ARB_sparse_texture.txt

[vital phoenix]

Thank you. 👍

[stiff stirrup]

Right. It depends entirely on what game files the mods change as to whether or not they broke - and whether or not they can be updated easily.

[vital phoenix]

Right, sparse textures vs. whole...kind of similar to the sparse files from BitTorrent...thanks for the help. 🙂

[stiff stirrup]

I am not a modder, but I understand that many are waiting for some sort of compiler or something to be updated

[mortal night]

Has GoatFungus save editor been updated for Outlaws?

[stiff stirrup]

Not that I've heard yet.

Mostly still works though

[mortal night]

I believe it is MBINCompiler or something. It's used in the PAK combiner as well if I'm not mistaken

[stiff stirrup]

That's out of my league. I'm comfy with save editing. 😁

I use mods don't make them

[fallow meadow]

We are all waiting on MBINCompiler, because that allows us yo turn the files into something we can read and understand

NMSSE has not updated yet, but will auto-magically if installed

[vital phoenix]

Got the Save Editor, unlocked the rewards...but it can't increase the suit's technology inventory to full 8*6 slots?

Or another modification needed for that?

[fallow meadow]

That being said, NMSSE is NOT broken as some claim. It is merely missing a few things, but otherwise fully functional

[stiff stirrup]

I have never tried this

Let me see.

[fallow meadow]

Suit Tech has a limit by the executable. No way to go beyond the in-game max

[stiff stirrup]

Or that

[vital phoenix]

Any modification to circumvent that, or stuck with it?

[stiff stirrup]

I heard of mods years back

But they don't seem to work anymore

[fallow meadow]

Well, Tech is not limited to tech slots, if you'd call that a solution

Or just mod the tech to be stronger

[vital phoenix]

That's an agreeable solution.

At least the ship technology slots can be increased.

[stiff stirrup]

There are working mods to bypass the 3x tech 3x general limit

[fallow meadow]

Update always breaks most mods. If you wish to have an old mod revived because it is no longer maintained, you could give it a try or ask kindly.

!moddinglink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/22ZAU9H

[stiff stirrup]

Not my thing. Just saw people talking about it in the creative hub earlier

[iron stratus]

how do i edit in all previous expedition and steam rewards?

[vital phoenix]

Yea, though I only update once per major update, so should be relatively easier.

[stiff stirrup]

With the goatfungus editor it's as simple as going to the account tab and checking which you want

The newest rewards aren't there yet. They'll be there when it's updated though

[iron stratus]

i got those unlocked by watching twitch d-;

is it in steam workshop?

[stiff stirrup]

Well there you are

I got mine from GitHub. Don't know if it's uploaded elsewhere

[iron stratus]

thanks m8

[fallow meadow]

Depends on the Save Editor used, but I believe both work in similar ways for this. Open up the account tab in the save editor, then check all rewards to become available. Just Twitch rewards require being offline to then claim, due to active check. Latest rewards are not yet available (Outlaws, Expedition, Twitch)

[vital phoenix]

Also, in the ship screen, there's the 'Seed' field...what is it for and how is it used?

[stiff stirrup]

Hah

[fallow meadow]

From the pins: <#nms-modding message>

[stiff stirrup]

To discuss that

We need to take a walk

[stiff stirrup]

Best place to learn about seeds

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[vital phoenix]

Yea, but not modifying that, just wondering what it is.

[stiff stirrup]

Basically

A seed is what tells the game what parts to use and what colors they are

[fallow meadow]

A seed is what determines the looks/stats, etc

[stiff stirrup]

Each ship you find has a unique seed

And the bot at the creative hub can give you a custom seed for a ship that looks however you want it to look

What's neat about seeds

[vital phoenix]

Oh...so seed = like the unique ID of anything, including ships and such?

[stiff stirrup]

Let's say you like my ship

This one

If I give you the seed for that

You can get the exact one with a bit of copy and paste

[fallow meadow]

As long as the ship type is the same, yes

[stiff stirrup]

There's more interesting fun with seeds

[fresh rivet]

That's a nice ship!

[stiff stirrup]

Ship type changes the appearance, but not the color. Usually.

So a seed from a particular color fighter will often spit out a similarly colored other ship (not exotic)

Even works on freighters and frigates amusingly enough

[vital phoenix]

Damn...

[fallow meadow]

I just mean that if you have a fighter and change the seed to what you posted above, it will not become a sail ship, but changes it to a fighter with the same seed

[stiff stirrup]

Right. I'm getting to that

ships have set types that determine how the seed is...interpreted, let's say

hauler, fighter, shuttle, exotic, you get the idea

you can often get some interesting results with changing ship type but keeping seed the same

[vital phoenix]

That certainly is interesting.

[stiff stirrup]

currently in the goatfungus editor, the solar ships are type "unknown"

but if you happen to have one, and would like to try out the seed for that ship I posted, its seed is 0xBD328E925148B1C5

once it's updated they'll be easier to work with if you don't already own one

...right now you gotta edit them in manually if you don't already have one.

[fallow meadow]

If you want to do things a bit more advanced, you can edit the Raw JSON instead. Especially useful right now, because of not everything being available in the default UI

[stiff stirrup]

it's not as complicated as it first looks but something to be mindful of, changes get applied as you make them. be careful what you change 😄

[vital phoenix]

It's all good, I'm still on 3.82, so it won't be as much of a problem using the save editor.

[stiff stirrup]

a tip i wish someone had told me

i often would hit esc, go to the options menu, alt tab, edit something, tab back, then reload

...that didn't usually give me the result i was after

exit the menu, go back in and verify the timestamps

load the most recently updated one 😄

[vital phoenix]

Ah, so making sure the save is from the proper time rather than the wrong load.

[stiff stirrup]

yup

[vital phoenix]

Thanks for all the explanation and help. I really appreciate it...now I just have to find out how to use the Creative Hub commands to get the colour of ship I want.

[stiff stirrup]

i can help with that too, but over there.

[fallow meadow]

Ah yes, NMSSE does not switch between auto/manual saves, but stays on the type of save you had loaded. It used to switch to always update to the latest in the past.

[stiff stirrup]

And more confusingly it doesn't tell you which is which

They're just a generic numbered save3 or similar.

[vital phoenix]

That's the most confusing part.

I don't want to modify my auto-save... 😖

[fallow meadow]

Uneven value = Auto, Even = Manual

[fallow meadow]

Make sure to create a backup first.

Both Save Editors create backups, but I personally prefer my own. In case of NomNom, it appears to be using a proprietary format even, which can not be imported ... so there is that as well

[vital phoenix]

Makes sense. Even if I do brick it, though...wouldn't mind starting over.

But yes, backups always.

[stiff stirrup]

@lost jackal that must be something related to your hardware. i don't see half the options you have.

[lost jackal]

uh, gimme a sec

[stiff stirrup]

interesting.

[stiff stirrup]

I could probably add it. Wonder what the other options are.

[lost jackal]

OH

yeah well, I guess

[stiff stirrup]

yeah, I'm missing quite a few of these.

and I've got some you don't.

[lost jackal]

what do you have? 😮

[stiff stirrup]

looks like stuff specific to my old ass computer

things that wouldn't apply to you lol

[lost jackal]

interesting 😄

[stiff stirrup]

but I did find one in there I need to change, the one about showrequirementwarning

that drives me crazy. disabled!

[lost jackal]

hm, didnt bother me so far...

well I guess I didnt see that at all on a 3080 😂

[stiff stirrup]

my system was old when this game came out

recently a few patches ago it started complaining that my card and drivers are no longer supported

i need to figure out what the possible values are for that UI rendering. That might just steal me a bit of performance back.

[lost jackal]

I would have sold you my 2070s but

1. I sold it over a year ago
2. I dont even know where you live 😂

[stiff stirrup]

wouldn't fit in this laptop anyway

[lost jackal]

true

but you could build on that

I sold it for 400 or 450€, which was a fair price.

[stiff stirrup]

if I can come up with about $200 I can get a 970m that WILL fit (current card is 780m, so while old, still a major upgrade)

that'll fix the bad vram issues I'm also dealing with, so yeah

[lost jackal]

ah, american. That would have been some expensive shipping. 😂

[stiff stirrup]

that's kinda the goal secondary to keeping myself fed and medicated 😄

i live in the philippines actually but since nobody knows what a peso is

I price stuff in dollars.

[lost jackal]

I guess that wouldnt be much cheaper anyways

[stiff stirrup]

nope

and still not particularly useful

[fiery owl]

Hmm can the Save Editor remove the Photon cannon? Mitey no use it and it gets in the way!

[stiff stirrup]

Yes

[fiery owl]

Hmm I am gonna carefully attempt to do that then! 🙂

[merry wasp]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2040

[fiery owl]

Oh geez another mod eh

Well I can check it out. Because I went in the Editor and removed the photon cannon..

But whoo the game might be mad at me

[silver ore]

it'd be weird if it was (for that, anyways), one of the expedition ships explicitly doesn't have a photon cannon and it's not a problem

[fiery owl]

Yep its giving me an error every time it loads in now “incompatibilities”
