I found this https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/500?tab=files

[austere kindle]

doesnt work

[merry wasp]

But looks out of date

Id say ask on modding discord

Might be someone there that has a personal lua or something for it

I tried getting Gunter to drop that link earlier but he was sick

[hearty wasp]

haha yeah, totally not just ignoring you 🥲

[snow beacon]

Do mods made for 3.85 work on the latest version? They're both outlaws, but it seems the updates are so soon after one another

I think current is 3.88 or something

[pearl scarab]

does anyone know if there is like a ship radio mod? like where i can run spotify or something through the game? someone did it with the jukebox for subnautica and it was pretty awesome

[hearty wasp]

no

you can just open spotfy in the background

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/22ZAU9H

[pearl scarab]

i know...its just not the same....like in subnautica, it would play through the jukebox and through the speakers that wirelessly connect to it, and the volume would change as you get closer or further away, same with the seatruck, and you could control the songs through the game...just more immersive is all

[thin juniper]

yo i'm curious- i've messed around with a couple worldgen mods now but i'm conflicted. I know multiplayer still technically works with them but I want to experience the seamlessness of that aspect of the game, esp projects like the galactic hub. at the same time i find basegame worldgen wayy too boring to play through without it. Is there a good middle ground or am i just stuck committing to only really being able to play with my friends running the same mod?

[vale iron]

There's no real middle ground, unless you use something just just changes flora/fauna/colors, no terrain

[steel crypt]

Even flora placement can mess up some bases.

Not as bad as terrain of course.

[solid mesa]

Is there a mod that allows you to scan freighters mid-flight from your starship?

[vale iron]

No

[hearty wasp]

I'd say just don't use terrain mods and maybe the moda that males flora really fuckin huge

Assuming you're ok with desyncing what flora/fauna you see from what your friends see

[thin juniper]

yeah that's what i'm considering honestly but i may just do a normal playthrough on modded worldgen and a survival one with normal gen since i think the one thing vanilla has over most terrain mods is often resources are annoyingly spread out

[vale iron]

I don't think resource spread is related to difficulty level, but I could easily be wrong

[hearty wasp]

Nah survival just makes tech take more to charge

[lime mesa]

Is there a mod that shortens interact time for breaking open Geodes/crafting another of the same item/etc?

Haven't found anything glancing at the workshop.

Or being able to open an entire stack of Geodes rather than one at a time.

[hearty wasp]

Workshop?

You mean on Steam? Lol

We use Nexus Mods for mod stuff

Fast Action should be updated

You can't hold to rapid click but you can click fast

Or you can go into the graphics settings file under Binary folder and edit the click speed modifier to 0.000001

That's what I do usually

[lime mesa]

Well yeah, I mean Nexus Mods yea. Fast Action it is called? I'll take a look, thanks.

Should fit the bill. Thanks!

Ah, much better.

[odd stag]

yes exactly. I like the other changes, but I prefer not to hover on planets as it makes fighting with ships easier in my opinion. But I'll think I keep it as the other things are nice to haves 🙂

[scenic fog]

Are there any mods that fixes the on-rails "flying in honey" feel of the ships?

I'm going insane since I can't properly control the ship

[naive kayak]

Everyone felt that

[hearty wasp]

Using a controller would probably help

Mouse fly is p bad

It may also be related to the maneuverability of the ship itself

[scenic fog]

I'm not sure, the ships seem to try to right itself

I'm fighting against the ship more than playing the game itself

[hearty wasp]

I'm not sure I understand, can you elaborate on how it rights itself

Like it doesn't rotate good?

[naive kayak]

I already use controller but certain things in space make you slow down when you get close (space stations , space anomaly) so you can get in easier

[scenic fog]

No, what I mean is when I'm trying to fly anywhere, the ship seems to try to follow a path

Like, it feels on-rails

[naive kayak]

The problem is with the boxes that activates it

[hearty wasp]

It do be like that when decending onto planets

[scenic fog]

I'm trying to turn the ship but the ship, rather than just being slow to turn, seems to try to right itself in the opposite position

[hearty wasp]

But otherwise if you're not just pulsing everywhere it shouldn't be noticeable

[scenic fog]

I was in athmo already, not moving towards a planet

I wonder if it was the Almost Perfect Flight but it didn't seem to work at all, I couldn't hover for example

Honestly I did try the game a bit after deleting the mods from previous install and it felt the same

[hearty wasp]

I mean if you're using an outdated mod

Anything's possible

[scenic fog]

Updated 3 days ago though

[hearty wasp]

Then idk, I haven't really felt the experience you've been having and I'm not sure many people do

Else we'd have more people complaining about it

[night adder]

@scenic fog The ship will auto-roll itself to level when you're getting close to water, as part of the mechanic that prevents ships from touching liquid.

[scenic fog]

I was on a frozen planet

No body of water in sight

Maybe it was running away from snow.

[night adder]

Just because you cannot see water doesnt mean there was none, it's quite rare, but the average terrain level can both be close to sea level and more or less unbroken across over 50% of a planets surface.

[scenic fog]

So my ship was freaking out over a body of water it cannot even touch? In upper athmo?

[night adder]

Upper atmo is well out of range of that mechanic, so you were just fighting with the ship trying to reorient according to gravity - that's like a car skidding, turning into it is generally the quickest way to regain control as opposed to fighting it.

[scenic fog]

So unlike before, we cannot travel in upper athmo anymore? I'm either flying to space or or towards the ground

I clearly remember being able to take advantage of the higher speeds when travelling between biomes before

Last I played was...a year ago?

Before this install I mean

[vale iron]

You have something else going on other than normal mechanics. Flight has been normal for me

[scenic fog]

Alright

[night adder]

You can certainly still fly in upper atmo, I do it all the time - what they said lol

If I've got half a sentence typed out, I aint deleting it just because someone had faster fingers, lol.

[lime mesa]

Honestly I gave up trying to fly with mouse and keyboard personally, its just not worth the hassle. Better to use a gamepad.

[scenic fog]

Heh, I don't even have my controller with me

[vale iron]

I do find m&k troublesome some, but I have no alternative

[hearty wasp]

time to invest in a SN30 pro 2

you can even use it on ps and switch

it good

[scenic fog]

I'd joke about using a ||flight sim set up|| but I played even E:D with k&m

[lime mesa]

@scenic fog Are you in combat? You might accidentally trigger the auto follow function.

[scenic fog]

Nope

[lime mesa]

Hmm.

[lime mesa]

I honestly find flying with M/K more enjoyable than flying with gamepad after setting M/K up proper. I'm annoyed that you can't set up "expert controls" type of flying for Gamepad so I'm staying away from it.
(read: fly as if you would a jet, for example. Rotate the ship with left/right, shift it with L1/R1. )

[scenic fog]

Wait

There's expert controls for k&m?

[lime mesa]

My issue is with mouse and keyboard the controls feel like you slog through maple syrup.

[lime mesa]

Not in particular, you have a better layout for rotating the ship tho imo

It's the same with Controller though Yuuki 👀

[solid mesa]

Is there any type of mod that allows you to scan freighters from your starship midflight without landing?

[hearty wasp]

can't

so no

[scenic fog]

Weird

I redownloaded, cleaned the mod list a bit

Flying is much better now

||Much more E:D like even, in some places. I can hover too.||

[viral kelp]

Anyone know of a way to use xbox controller for PC VR? I find motion controls abominable....

[hearty wasp]

could be just a flipped bit in one of the files fuckin it up lol

anyway glad it's ok now

[magic lava]

I've never tried, but isn't it as easy as linking the controller and then having it on when you launch in VR?

[civic sonnet]

I just wish I could get my HOSAS to function for this game. Thrustmasters. Good stuff... but the last time I tried, the best I could accomplish was to use three different programs, and at best the sticks just emulated gamepad analogue sticks... and not actual HOSAS.

EDIT: Oh yes, and then there is the god-awful shooting, as well as the inability to turn off gimbaled weapons.... since EVERY weapon that isn't the rockets are gimbaled.

[frozen magnet]

hi! is there a mod for getting a storage augmentation for every scrapped ship?

its is difficult to get 😦

[vale iron]

No. It is possible, but the amount of effort is more than installing save editor and just activating the storage slots.

It would be like making a mod to give yourself credits - not at all worth the effort

[merry wasp]

Its a neat mod idea but would be broken indeed

Says me with craftable modules and mods

[merry wasp]

Well with mod craftable modules you can craft them

[hearty wasp]

good ol' occam's razor

[scenic fog]

Well, at least there's a mod for double subterranean spawn rate

Yes

[gray garnet]

anyone know of a mod that lets me mess with the times on the void egg quest

[hearty wasp]

search "Egg" on Nexus

[gray garnet]

thanks!

[solid mesa]

Has anyone made a mod that removes the max cap for your companion registry?

[vale iron]

No because you can't. The save file is built to handle that many companions.

[woven nimbus]

Ugh does anyone know a mod that ups render distance and is compatible with outlaws

[last siren]

Not my photo just thought the world needed to see this

[shy grove]

lol that's awesome. is that a mod then?

[last siren]

Yeah it is

[last siren]

Sadly people only see a golden vector

[vale iron]

That's from gShip Custom Ships. Love seeing screenshots from it!

[hearty wasp]

I took a screenshot last night too

the new freighter lights are pretty intimidating

[quartz oasis]

Does anyone know if SaveWizard works with no mans sky anymore?

[hearty wasp]

don't see why it wouldn't

[quartz oasis]

Well ive been hearing that there is issues with kt

And i cant find any saves for the past 7 months

@hearty wasp

Like the save wizard its self is having issues from what ive herd

[hearty wasp]

could be from console updates then

[quartz oasis]

Maybe

[hearty wasp]

better just go to their own forum to complain if they have it

[quartz oasis]

Kinda sucks cuz I wanted to mod it

Thanks

👍

[merry wasp]

Choo choo motherfucker

[wise lake]

do you guys know a save editor working with the last patch?

[vale iron]

Both NomNom and GoatFungus are updated

[wise lake]

thanks

[zealous lotus]

When you sell a ship, does the index of other ships change?

Like if I got 3 ships, index 1 2 3, and I sell ship 2, will ship 3 become the new “ship 2” or it will remain “ship 3”?

[vale iron]

No, the index stays the same

That's why it gets weird to determine what ship is summoned when you scrap a ship. It takes the lowest index, but that gets muddled over time

[zealous lotus]

Is there a way to change the index with tools like save editor?

[vale iron]

Yeah, just cut and paste the data into a different section

[fresh rivet]

Do any of the reshaders on nexusmods help with lighting?

[vale iron]

They can only help so much. The game engine only provides so much information to be reshaded. You can use mods to increase the light sources, but I heard at least one, Relight, is not updated

[fresh rivet]

I'll keep my eye out for that one.

I'm legally blind, when the game is dark it hurts to look at sometimes

[vale iron]

I can understand that. Let me go look to see if any mods are updated

[zealous lotus]

Can you please explain it more clearly how it’s done? Or a link of such tutorial? I’m new to the save editor.

[proud fulcrum]

could anyone help me unlock the expedition pass items? i remember from awhile back there was something i could do with the code to unlock them?

[hearty wasp]

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

just buy em

[proud fulcrum]

@hearty wasp sorry for the ping, what was that one programme that allowed u to edit everything such as nanites, items, ships etc?

[hearty wasp]

NMSSE/NomNom

see pins

but you'd need to know where to edit and that's harder than just buying

[proud fulcrum]

ahhh okay sorry haha, thank you!

[proud fulcrum]

i may be talking about the wrong thing

when i last played

it was a programme

and it brought up

like everything

on your characters save

[hearty wasp]

yeah these

they're called

save editors

[proud fulcrum]

you didnt really have to edit, it was more modifying

yes yes

[hearty wasp]

that's what editing is

[proud fulcrum]

i assumed when you said edit, you meant going into the code

i had to do that before too

wasnt fun, i suck at it

[hearty wasp]

anyway just find the links to those in the pins

godspeed

[proud fulcrum]

thank you

[crimson solar]

What are seeds?

[waxen cedar]

a random number that a game or software could use in various ways. With NMS they use them for pretty much all proc gen stuff like ships, tools, plants, animals, planets etc

NMS is just a big stack of seeds

Sharing system coordinates for a good S-tier ship etc. would be the equivalent of sharing a good world seed in Minecraft

[ebon gale]

So trying to come up with a permanent solution to the disablemods.text problem does anyone have any ideas on what would be the best way to trigger a command line script to delete the file and run it every time the system detects the game launch?

I figured scheduled tasks but unsure how to make it fire off when the game exe launches

has anyone managed to do something like this and is there a guide on how they set it up?

[waxen cedar]

since when did boundary failures actually link to their creators profile?

[rain flower]

i just renamed the file

[ebon gale]

issue is steam sometimes re adds it so I want to just put in an automated script to check for and remove it

[willow saffron]

Hey guys I’m trying to change my save from survival to normal which save editor should I download and what are the steps for doing it properly?

[vale iron]

I'm not sure if NomNom supports raw JSON editing yet, so you might want to get GoatFungus's NMSSE. After opening the save, go to Edit at the top, Edit Raw JSON. At the top is 'Version'. Change that to 4650. Save as you close the JSON then save again on the main tab. That's it.

[willow saffron]

thanks!

[pale zenith]

how does modding work on here?

[strange pebble]

as in making mods or inserting them?

also there is an instant scan mod, this is the way

is this available anywhere yet?

These icons are a bit unclear btw. Except for the teleporter one.

Could probably use in-game icons instead unless you're adding a hover text to them?

Hi! I want to start installing some mods for the first time. Is there a recommended modloader or is manual the way to go?

[hearty wasp]

you can use Vortex but it may have issues where it doesn't install the mod properly all the time

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Mods

manual install is this

tbh tho I'd suggest using Vortex just for version management

i.e. use download via mod manager on Nexus, extract the .pak files manually and put them into the MODS folder yourself

so that Vortex can check new versions for you, as it will often need to

[clever widget]

Alright, sounds good. Thanks!

[fallow meadow]

Yes, click the Blue link to it posted by the bot right above.
I have fixed some first issues I think, with the plans selected at the top right.

[fallow meadow]

Thank you for the feedback. I used icons I had initially made for myself in a way old version for Gimp/Photoshop in 2018. So I just copied those over and made them the tile size 32x32 (Medium/large refiners). I then started adding a few more icons by drawing them in the same style idea I had back then (large tray, teleporter, trade terminal, save point, cooker, planter). After that I just got lazy grabbing icons from the game and making them fit.

The old way has the advantage of not being stuck to the grid per se, while this tools is. I guess I could replace the other icons with source icons. It will remain tiny though and although you could normally fill a room with those, you can't on the planner, as they depend on the 'room-size' grid.

[compact remnant]

Guess I gotta ask here

borked quest triggers means I can't continue my quests and I was recommended to go back a step using a save editor

to see if I can get the trigger to work (since multiplayer borks triggers)

[vale iron]

Set the mission active in game and save. Open save editor and go to Edit -> Edit Raw JSON. Find PlayerStateData\CurrentMissionID. Use that value to search in PlayerStateData\MissionProgress. Adjust the Progress value up or down to try to step forward or backwards. Save as you close the JSON, save on the main save editor tab, reload the save in game. Repeat until you find a Progress value that works.

[compact remnant]

I think I may have the wrong save editor

I downloaded NomNoms since that was the first one that showed up

Oh wait but I have found the JSON editor anyway

[cosmic prairie]

Does anyone know how to remove giant unbreakable tree which has appeared inside my base?

[vale iron]

Destroy the ground it's growing out of and I think that will destroy the tree

[feral field]

Should I finish the main story quest line before downloading BPG/Better Planet Generation mod? I have no idea if it will bug missions.
Also will installation of it screw over scanning and discoveries?

[solid mesa]

Does anyone have or know of a mod that removes the maximum cap for amount of companions?

[hearty wasp]

can't

I believe someone else had talked about this before

[solid mesa]

Dang..

[hearty wasp]

just use NMSC and export your pets instead

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1879

[plush wigeon]

anyone know about getting mbincompiler to run under linux (using wine, proton or any other thing)?

[dusty goblet]

Any up to date mods that remove screen shake?

[vale iron]

The game has a slider for camera shake in the settings now. You don't need a mod.

[dusty goblet]

Thank you 🙂

[muted finch]

What kinda mods are there for this game

[hearty wasp]

there's Sean

then there're not Sean

[muted finch]

Ok

Thz

[gentle cloud]

Wow, look at this shuttle hater

[hearty wasp]

yes

[dusty goblet]

Anyone know of any mods that improve the FOV, even at max 100 it feels odd. Feels like everything is big and in my face

[hearty wasp]

[hearty wasp]

the graphics settings file in the Binary folder

just edit that

with notepad

[dusty goblet]

ahh cool thank you

[hearty wasp]

there're 2 FOV options

[dusty goblet]

what value do you use?

i assume you also had issues with it

[hearty wasp]

the value -20 is the practical FOV you'd see

[dusty goblet]

i got these 2 values

<Property name="FoVOnFoot" value="100.000000" />
<Property name="FoVInShip" value="100.000000" />

is that the ones

[hearty wasp]

ye

[dusty goblet]

thank you

[hearty wasp]

you can even try setting em to 380 to experience LSD vision

[dusty goblet]

LMAO

got any idea what range normal FPS games are in save me doing too much trial and error?

[hearty wasp]

just do 120

add as you go

[heavy merlin]

I use 120 for on foot, 100 in ship I said, way back in 2018. I was on 16:10 though which may make a bit of difference. But yes, try 120.

[dusty goblet]

Thanks

Is there anyway to prevent damage when moving fast with jetpack. I seem to use alot of health just flying around

may want to go into each mod's page and see if any of them are updated longer than a month ago

[scenic fog]

Hover?

[hearty wasp]

hover's in vanilla

[scenic fog]

Wait what

[hearty wasp]

you can always just slow the fuck right down

but if you feel that's not enough you can just not go in reverse and stop at <5u with this

[scenic fog]

Yeah, to about 70m/s iirc. Or was that changed?

[hearty wasp]

actually I may be wrong

vanilla planet min speed is 20

hover threshold is 1

still if you just want ol boring hover there are other mods

this is for making flying fun

mostly for me

[scenic fog]

Eh

This does look nice

Much more control over the ship

But with the Lua script...I should be able to combine I think

[hearty wasp]

you can still just not go in reverse and stop when you're at around 5u

with the mod I mean

[scenic fog]

Alright

[hearty wasp]

going backwards is useful in caves and against walls

[scenic fog]

Still doing the God's work though

That looks far more...actually like flying

[hearty wasp]

dunno why no one's done space drift anymore

that was the fun part for me

[solid mesa]

Is there a mod that increases the waypoint galaxy map pathing extend to your current hyperdrive range?

[west cove]

can you use someons game save

[final temple]

Is there any mods that remove caps for star ships, multi tools and pets?

[solid mesa]

For pets there sadly isnt since it’s not possible, not sure about ships and MTs tho

[hearty wasp]

no

use NMSC

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1879

to export them instead

[dusty goblet]

I'm playing on PC Game Pass version and there was a small update today for the game. The 2 mods I use (Faster Gameplay) and (Fast Action 4.3) have both stopped working. Do i need to reinstall them or is it most likely the mods need updating?

[magic lava]

Is your disablemods.txt deleted again?

[dusty goblet]

Legend, the update to NMS put it back. Deleted it again and all working. Is that a common thing to do after every NMS update go and delete the disablemods.txt again

[vale iron]

Pretty common, yeah

[dusty goblet]

Any mods exist that prevent damage from using thrusters?

[nimble trail]

heeeey created and published my first mod 😄

Woohoo 😄

[steel crypt]

What damage from using thrusters?

[dusty goblet]

When i am jumping around and using the melee to accelerate trick to jump forward much further with thrusters. My damage goes up to 3 arrows and is a bit of a nuisance

[graceful fiber]

is there any mods for removing the construction limit ? (not base size) the 20k items placed hard cap

i really dont want to remove my other bases ive only got 2 now but they're gigantic and a lot of work went into them

[steel crypt]

I doubt there is a mod for this.

Here's a bug I've observed in vanilla no man's sky, and I wonder if there's a mod or a way to fix this. I've tried but no luck so far:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-oTxSd1U2w

[hearty wasp]

that's not a normal occurence to begin with

veirfy game integrity with steam

or just submit a bug report to HG themselves

[lime mesa]

Ok, I verified, and it still happens. I'll submit a bug report with HG.

I don't think it's specific to my setup? thanks tho

[hearty wasp]

is finelod still a thing?

that may help but it's made for distance stuff

[vale iron]

No

[vale iron]

Do you mean damage or life support drain? You can remove all life support drain but not sure you can target just jetpack usage

[raven imp]

Okay, so I want to get into modding, using some in-game, maybe, maybe? try and make my own but idk,

First off I wanted to just get a base of things regarding modding

Will modding, like get me a big funny VAC Ban and shi or no?

Besides that

What is NMSC?

[lime mesa]

I tried finelod and no changes. I tried geforce now (cloud gaming), and it still happens 💀

[vital tide]

Is it possible for anyone to give me a modded turtle egg?

[sage creek]

can someone link me a video of how to put the mods i installed into the game

If you installed them...correctly, they are "in the game". So, what are you actually talking about?

[vale iron]

Modding will not get you into any trouble.

[slow lintel]

Can SaveEditor count or list the points of interest on a given planet?

No

#nms-modding message

a program

that exports your pet/base/ship/etc data

[dusty goblet]

Hey thanks for the reply. Yeah i meant the life support drain for moving so fast. I like the emersion of life support drain from weather etc but not for using my jet pack

[primal violet]

What does PlayerState.1-PlayerState.4 mean in saved data?

[vale iron]

Need more detail. Do you have the full path?

[primal violet]

It's just Playstation saved data that says "PlayerState". I can send screenshots if you like.

[vale iron]

I only know a PlayerStateData, which has a ton of stuff under it. Screenshots might help

[primal violet]

PlayerStateData might be the same thing I would think, what info does that give?

[vale iron]

Like basically everything

It's too big for me to get a screenshot of the subcontents

[primal violet]

I see, just something I was wondering about. I would think it's that then because My PlayStation saved data for the game has the PlayerStates, UserSettings, and one with no details. Are there 4 different PlayerStateData's?

[vale iron]

No, only one

Could be different saves?

[primal violet]

It seems that PlayerState.2 is a manual save data and PlayerState.1 is an autosave data. what's unknown to me is PlayerState.3 and PlayerState.4.

[green sparrow]

What mod would you guys suggest to improve the draw distance? I'm constantly annoyed with the lack of foliage when hovering over a planet surface

[vale iron]

FineLOD is the only mod I know of that does this

Not sure if it's updated or what you want

[green sparrow]

[primal violet]

So can you do modding on PS4 by using a USB drive?

[hearty wasp]

no

[wise tusk]

that reminds me when I tried at 12 to install Battlefront II mods on the PS2

good times

[raw harness]

are there any mods that combine all/several storage containers into a more condensed thing?

[hearty wasp]

damn I'm glad I got BF2 again on PC 10 years after

modded BF2 is 💯

[hearty wasp]

no

can't

[raw harness]

bummer

[wise tusk]

me too, that game is dope

although there're a few things from bf1 that I prefer

droidekas, 4 example. they nerfed the hell out of them

[edgy flame]

I found it, currently trying to figure out how to change only the color of my ship

[vale iron]

It's only possible in a fairly complicated JSON edit, and it's not visible in multiplayer. It's better to use the bot on the Creative and Sharing Hub discord that builds seeds to match input

[edgy flame]

That's what I'm looking through now, thanks

[edgy flame]

Not that complicated of a JSON edit though, but I'm also a software engineer that deals with JSON on the daily lol

[vale iron]

Ah, then no problem. I was just comparing it to simple value changes 🙂

[edgy flame]

I actually had the JSON I wanted, but although the save is staying in tact, my ship stays the same yellow

I found a guy that coincidentally had the exact colors I was looking for, but they don't stick. I've placed them inside of slots 3-8 and neither of my two ships were edited.

Link to what I did and the JSON I used here: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/mduaw4/comment/hdth3q2/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

[vale iron]

What kind of ship is it?

It might use a different palette type, but I'm out of date on what ships use what palettes

At the bottom of this is an example with all the different palettes that might be possible. I'm pretty sure there are extraneous ones in the example, though, that aren't used at all.

[solid mesa]

Does the companion ulnocker mod let you tame birds?>

[hearty wasp]

I think it'd be more effective to ask the mod author directly in the mod's comment section

Also a good idea to read the mod's description

[solid mesa]

Well I don't know if i'm doing something wrong or if the mod doesn't work, because i'm on a platform in the air and when one passes by it won't let me tame them...

[solid mesa]

Yep... it doesn't look like it works

[hearty wasp]

Then report it to the mod author

Because I can't fix it for ya

[vale iron]

That's a Mjstral mod, maintained by Babscoole, so you won't get author contact here. The first pinned post in the comments section of the mod gives a link to where you can get help catching flyers.

[pale dove]

I wonder if there some mod to change player character to female or other game character ? rofl I almost forget this, as many game really like to do this

[hearty wasp]

no

you can be Sean instead

[pale dove]

🤣hahaha

[hearty wasp]

become him

[pale dove]

wtf

[vale iron]

Must not be familiar with Sean Sean's Sean

is there a mod that allows photon cannon/ mining beam to be removed?

[solid mesa]

You can remove it using a save editor :)

for pet companion mod, where exactly do you start when downloading?

do you need 3rd party app?

[hearty wasp]

you mean the pet unlocker?

[distant narwhal]

i figured out how to add it but it seems like a lot of animals arent able to be caught

tried flying worms and some fish

[hearty wasp]

maybe they're just difficult to

the comment section suggests going to the creative hub discord to ask for tips

don't worry, I'm not!

[scenic fog]

But thang of da childran!

[night adder]

You need to be standing on terrain for the companion unlocker mod to work - for flying fauna, easiest to catch em in an overscaled biodome.

[steel crypt]

So, I spent a stupid amount of time trying to add light refraction effects to my black hole mod. Two refraction effects were added. A gravity wave effect that is like ripples in a pond being slowly pulled inward toward the horizon, and a subtle light pinching effect closer to the horizon that bends light inward toward the blackness. It's hard to show in pictures, but I'll try:
(Since the refractions work by bending light, I'll show pics of the sun passing behind the black hole so it is easier to see the effects.)
Notice the closer planet being bent more inward toward the horizon than the outer one, and the ripples of the gravity wave passing over them:
@round sinew

As the sun gets close to the edge of darkness (where light starts being absorbed), the light is compressed , slightly pulled, and dissipates:

As the sun gets close to the horizon, it starts to get pinched and pulled, eventually distorting heavily before disappearing behind the horizon:

DUD'S SKY - COLORS updated v3.89.2
- Updated _MOD_DUD_BlackHoleFX_v3881 to _MOD_DUD_BlackHoleFX_v3892
(Resized to 3X larger than vanilla...for real this time. Oops.)
(Added energy wave and event-horizon pinch light refraction effects.)
(Made general size, speed, and distribution adjustments.)

Wow

Nice job

@round sinew ^

[steel crypt]

Appreciate that dude 🤘

[dusty tree]

is there any mod to disable the red damage vignette? the only one i can find is from 2017

[lime mesa]

Does Back to Foundations work with the current version?

[steel crypt]

That mod is a shader mod. Not going to happen unless 1 or maybe 2 people want to try to redo it. Even then, it might be so impractical that it really can't be done.

[steel crypt]

I don't know what that means. You mean a mod from then? It depends on the mod. Probably not but possibly.

[lime mesa]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/980

this mod

[steel crypt]

oh one sec

[lime mesa]

don't think it does but idk

[steel crypt]

the terrain one might. the visual or color one won't for sure.
If you are looking for terrain (voxelgen)....have you tried TERRA FIRMA?

[lime mesa]

ah yeah that one

[steel crypt]

Either the terrain one will work as intended or it will hard crash. No in between for that type mod.

[lime mesa]

ah yeah

thanks tho!

ok the game starts thats a good sign

oop nvm crashed

welp guess it doesnt work

oof

[lime mesa]

I'll try that thanks

hope it doesnt conflict with NMS Fantasy too much

[steel crypt]

TERRA FIRMA needs to load last, overwriting the terrain of Fantasy (assuming ti still has terrain). It will cause no issues.

[lime mesa]

ah ok

how do I make it load last?

its on the top of my mod list lol

[granite thicket]

is there a mod that reveals hotspots / can direct me to specific types of hotspots?

[steel crypt]

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Mods?

[lime mesa]

thanks

[steel crypt]

scroll down a bit it's ther

there

[steel crypt]

Never heard of one 🤷‍♂️

[granite thicket]

whelp. on goes the seach for a good power hotspot for a real base :/

[rapid sandal]

seems to get asked every couple months. problem is hotspots don't seem to have any entity associated with them, they seem to be a product of the binoc scanning code. so that prevents auto-marking when you get in range, or creating charts to find them. the best you can do is either mod the param for them e.g. make all power hotspots S class, and|or disable hotspot requirements when placing em generators i.e. can place them anywhere. maybe at some point someone will create an scene|descriptor|entity for them so they can be marked.

[granite thicket]

mh nah, i just want to find hotspots, not modify the mechanics

[zealous lotus]

Is there a good game optimization mod on nexus?

[steel crypt]

Naw, but here's my personal grass mod. Get you some FPSes. @zealous lotus

[hearty wasp]

working on the thing I asked about yesterday

(I don't think the extruded wall has the contextual thing even in vanilla but whatever)

[magic lava]

Cool

[steel crypt]

What am I looking at?

I don't usually build.

These are totally different looking pieces?

[earnest chasm]

How does modding work in no mans sky. If I mod my game will I still be able to play with people that haven't? I was thinking about getting the mod that lets you tame high flyers. Can I share the eggs with people who don't have the mod?

[zealous lotus]

I’ll try it out tomorrow, thank you!

[vale iron]

Yes and yes, though taming flyers is really hard even with the mod.

[earnest chasm]

Oh cool! I really want a dragon haha

[hearty wasp]

Yeah the contextual wall thing basically means that it has a bottom mid and top piece

On the first pic I set everything to use the bottom piece regardless of context

The second uses all middles

[steel crypt]

Ahhh okay I see it now. I didn't realize the parts even worked like that. I don't remember that from a while back. Maybe they added the contextual thing at some point after I last built lol.

[hearty wasp]

Yeah from the settlement update

[hushed tree]

What kind if mods that pc people create or use ,can also be used for console users,and are there modded items ?

you're running an outdated version of AMUMSS

remove all files from ModScript folder

and run BUILDMOD

it'll update incrementally

so run it multiple times until it doesn't update itself anymore

[hearty wasp]

the current version is v3.9.5.98 fyi

so when you see this you're good to go

Not for anything other than latin characters I think

[pale dove]

ok, i'll try it now

[hearty wasp]

[hearty wasp]

Is there a mod that disables the Warning: Universal Archive Search reveals previous base registration check when placing a base computer?

getting this error on a planet in single player with no other bases nearby or loaded in

multiplayer is also off

only thing i can think of is some multiplayer function remains active despite being disabled and is interfering with placement

[fallow meadow]

The message you are getting is about trying to start a base at a location where another base is already located. Multiplayer has nothing to do with this, as player bases are present regardless. You will just have to find another location

[hearty wasp]

thanks

[ebon gale]

Do you mean its intersecting with one of my other bases or another player that put a base on that planet and its somehow gotten registered in my save ?

If its the former thats easy to resolve if its the later than that indicates some very bad coding given that other player's assets should not exist in a single player game unless those players have been invited to the group in which case even if there is a conflict you can just have the current iteration supersede structures placed by guests and not render the conflicting base

Either way I resolved the issue with a save editor by just placing the base computer elsewhere and moving it to the hotspot that was being blocked so i could set up the miners

[fallow meadow]

Bases will be present and loaded regardless of having MP enabled or not. You'd have to disconnect your internet, or connection to the server to fully disable this mechanic.

Now if there is actually no base present within range at that location at all (yours or another player's), you could report this as a bug with the check done, not the mechanic itself.

@vale iron , gShip Custom freighters Unified has all the models in one right?

getting an infinite loop when warping to a system (freighter rescue battle will trigger)

would try to use individual freighter mods, one at a time, see if i can repro again

[vale iron]

Yes, Unified has all the models in one. So you can't warp into a system if it would trigger a freighter rescue?

[round sinew]

yeah, was late last night. warped to a system, all normal, fight triggered, decided to reload and warp to a different system, and that's when it happened

during loading

i could see faint traces of "lines" flashing in/out

as if something was being rendered you know?

[magic lava]

That the enterprise?

[round sinew]

yeah

this one worked fine

[magic lava]

Spock broke it

[vale iron]

Strange, all it does is replace the model, so it shouldn't affect the actual warping or battle at all, and there definitely shouldn't be two freighters there

[round sinew]

i don't know which model is spawning on that particular system

no no

wait

sorry

i'll clarify - that screenshot was from the previous warp , after rescuing i decided to reload and warp to another system

[round sinew]

ok, i'll try doing it again today and see if i still get that infinite warping loop (last night i waited perhaps like 5min for the load to finish, but was getting super sleepy)

but do you think that would be a good way to test?

[vale iron]

Still an issue even if it's just over 5 minutes 🙂

[round sinew]

use the individual paks for each of the freighters included in unified?

[vale iron]

Hmm, they are slightly different, some of the models were re-built a little after, but it's a reasonable approach for sure

[round sinew]

load game, start fight, check for issue, quit, swap to other freighter pak

this ^

yeah

ok, so i'll try both things

[vale iron]

I'm just trying to think what could cause an infinite load like that

[round sinew]

ok so i've warped into the same system without gship custom freighters unified, and it loaded ok (coords in case you want to run a test on your end, calypso). before that i've also tried with unified again, same thing as last night, infinite loop happened

after talking to you i noticed that unified has other freighter models than just harrower/imperial ii/pegasus

the ones i've got access to individual pak for

i've played with harrower pak before, and i didn't experience any infinite loadings with that one

[round sinew]

1. tested with harrower/imperial ii/pegasus, no issue
2. tested with unified pak, no other mods in mod folder, infinite loading

and previously mentioned 3, without any custom freighter mod, no issue

also, reminder, it's only this particular system so far

[vale iron]

Maybe I can build individual paks for the others for you to test

[round sinew]

that sounds like a way forward

[lapis bay]

anyone could help me with save file transfering using nomnom ??

[fallow meadow]

Q: How does the platform save transfer work?

A: First open the "Platform Transfer" section on the Manager page where you'll then see some selections and text fields. The "LID" (Local ID), "UID" (User ID), and "USN" (USerName) are used to identify the owner of something (base or discovery) and needs to be changed in the process to give you access to your things on the new platform. This will be automatically filled if possible (you need at least one base in any of your saves) and doesn't need to be changed, except you know what are you doing. The source is filled with data from the normally loaded saves you see on the left. Click on the "Target Path" button to select the destination and it will also fill automatically if possible. If both is set up, select the slots you want to use and click the copy icon button to start the transfer. Once NomNom is responsive again you are done and you can start up your save on the new platform! To see it on the new platform in NomNom you have to switch the main save path to it afterwards.

Also note that there is currently a bug, that wont let you overwrite an existing slot. Make sure to select an empty one as target.

[tidal sky]

anyone have an idea as to why my flashlight that I have decreased the FoV of shines upon my back when I swim? its using otherwise completely default settings other than FoV

[snow warren]

The flashlight seems to be tied to the character's initial standing position. For example, if you sit down and use a flashlight, the light will not come from the character, but from the air above him.

Might be a bug, might be a feature ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tidal sky]

dose anyone know how to get a old save or something on pc as the misson is so bugged that my mind is about to blow up

and it main story line and i want to see if there is anything i can do to try and get me out of this rabbit hole

[dusk sage]

Are there any mods that you guys would consider "essential"? like i've played modded oblivion before and things like bevilexs graphical modlist, and better cities are considered a must in how much better they make the game look.

You can share modded screenshots there. It's definitely helpful to the community letting them know if you're using mods, which. Can help raise awareness of mods ppl may want to try

multi tool slots…

think it's hard capped at 24, or it's possible to ludicrously increase its max slots to, say, 48?

Can I have a save edited underwater creature?

[merry wasp]

check nexus mods

my mod is literally on the front page

basically does that

[wheat raven]

i have

but no luck

somehow

[merry wasp]

like...

or

like

idk if people even use the search option

[wheat raven]

i do

but ok i lack creativity of figuring out the keyword

[wheat raven]

this one is a bit exaggerating but ok sure

[merry wasp]

that literally my mod tho XD

also

it doesnt give you 48 for free

you have to unlock it ourself tho

but you can fe take my script

and edit it so it only affect MT

think i even provide a script for that

not sure

[lime mesa]

Ay does anyone have spare ai ship valves on pc, I lost my account and I need units to get back what I lost

I highly recommend the settlement timer reduction mod because the current time it takes to build something is obscene:
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2077

Go to the files tab and select one of the timer selection options to download

There's 60%, time reduction, 80% time reduction, and 100% time reduction which I personally see that as cheating, but you do you.

I personally went for 60% and that's what I recommend

Because it makes it way more manageable than having to wait several hours just to build 1 thing.

[wheat raven]

<insertokibelieveyougifhere>

[wheat raven]

how hard could editing it be

[merry wasp]

Well icould edit for you but you'll need to recompile it yourself

Also quite to edit

You can visit the modding discord for help

[merry wasp]

@wheat raven

this will edit only multitools

you will need to merge with mods that edit the same file

[wheat raven]

mm hmm

[fast ibex]

Anyone know if changing save gamemode will breaking anything?

since I wish to regenerate their appearance if possible, they're both identical korvax

I'm assuming i may have to use a different save editor if its doable at all

[hearty wasp]

home seed I think

[tidal sky]

ah

[hearty wasp]

you should backup the og seed in case it's not tho

[tidal sky]

I'll try that, I'm assuming I can restore it by pasting the old seed in yeah

[hearty wasp]

althought if my memory serves me right it should be

[tidal sky]

only one way to find out

hmm

@hearty wasp seems the seed I've pasted in has more characters

bah i'll figure it out later i dont wanna fuck it up

@south turtle I heard you like the region info exports. I've uplaoded a new one for euclid with a record region containing 638 solar systems. It includes now infos about pirate systems as well and all ship seeds and their types, enjoy:
https://metaidea.github.io/nms-system-info-export/

[south turtle]

damn, very nice! out of curiosity, how long does it take to get all that info for a system?

[marsh eagle]

It's automated. Few seconds, any region, any galaxy 😉

That region has 69 diplos. Plenty to explore

[south turtle]

i'd love to be able to pull that info via bot. but i'm guessing that's out of the question 😉

[marsh eagle]

I'm working on that feature. It will come as a discord bot command on the Creative and Sharing Hub Discord. Give me some time 😉
All galactic hubs and civ regions are blacklistened to protect them.

[south turtle]

ah, very cool 🙂

Does anybody have save edited underwater creature pets?

[gritty radish]

is it possible to make an extinct animal (like this thing) a companion using save editing/mods?

[hearty wasp]

if the game doesn't have the data

how do we make it a pet

[rapid sandal]

There are mods that can enable many creatures to be pets and rideable. I'm not familiar with the specific creature in the picture so not sure if it would work on it. By extinct do you mean it was in prior releases of the game but isn't in the current release ? https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1868

[gritty radish]

yes

[rapid sandal]

Then if the creature data has been removed from the current game files you'd have to grab it from the last release that included it to add it as a new custom creature.

[rapid sandal]

Do you know what release removed it, and what it was called ?

[gritty radish]

wait so in which update it was removed?

[rapid sandal]

yes, if we know what it was called we can see if the data is still in the game just unused. if it's not in the current game files then we need to know when it was removed to try and get the mbin's for it from the last release that included it.

[gritty radish]

mk
I think it was removed in the abyss update

[rapid sandal]

So if you know the name of the creature you could look through https://github.com/MetaIdea/nms-archive to try and find it's scene|descriptor mbin's.

[gritty radish]

mk

[rapid sandal]

but looking at https://github.com/MetaIdea/nms-archive/tree/main/1.65-NEXT-19.October.2018/MODELS/PLANETS/CREATURES nothing is jumping out to me

maybe https://github.com/MetaIdea/nms-archive/blob/main/1.65-NEXT-19.October.2018/MODELS/PLANETS/CREATURES/SHARKRIG/SHARK.DESCRIPTOR.EXML ?

[gritty radish]

wait so how do I look for the creature's name

[covert juniper]

@fiery flint this discussion looks interesting

[fiery flint]

Ooh indeed, thanku

[rapid sandal]

sorry, don't recall ever seeing one, so not sure what it's name is, was hoping you knew 🙂 Other option is to take a copy of the archive and use NMSMV to view the various creatures until you find one that looks correct.

[rapid sandal]

best I can see in the current game is the seasnake, which is also used for the big worms.

#nms-questions message
anyone hel-p explain?

[fallow meadow]

NomNom is capable of changing the format from Steam saves to Game Pass saves, or the other way around. So technically with your Xbox account, you could get your Steam saves compatible with Game Pass and then use the cloud to use those saves on your Xbox console

[smoky patio]

is it one way or could i keep it on bioth?

[fallow meadow]

This is assuming you have NMS on both platforms of course

[smoky patio]

io do

[fallow meadow]

You can keep both of course, just use a copy of whichever save

[smoky patio]

i want to do that then. so i can keep everything on stewam while having it on xbox. however once i start p[laytingh on xbox whatever i do on xbox wont apply to steam correct

since its just a copy and new "varriant" you could say of the save

[fallow meadow]

correct, the platforms are of course not synced in any way.

[smoky patio]

any tutorials on this and is there any issues opr consequences that are invovled

[fallow meadow]

There is a link to NomNom in the pins in this channel. For more detailed info check it out. There is a Discord for NomNom too, link is likely on the mod page somewhere

[smoky patio]

can you link me it

Always make backups first, just to make sure

@smoky patio If you do all correctly with the transfer, the only issue that remains is any bases you have, as they now all of a sudden exist in the exact same location on both platforms. So once all is done and setup right, it might be wise to remove any bases on one of the platforms, to ensure they only exist once

[smoky patio]

yikes that is a worry; i have a sky base i dont want getting messed up?

[fallow meadow]

It is not really a big problem, just something the transfer can not handle for you. And sadly enough not mentioned often enough to possible be an issue. It can be easily fixed, but requires deleting any of those bases in-game for the platform you do not want to keep the duplicate on

This needs to be done AFTER the transfer

And only for the bases in the save you transfer

[smoky patio]

how do you go about doing that? like how do you knopw what you are deleting to since wouldnt they be stacked upoin each other

[fallow meadow]

You have your Steam save, and you create a duplicate Xbox/GamePass save from it. This means both are exactly equal. However, keep in mind when on one account, you will not be owner for whatever shows from the other, as you are a guest to that account's bases. You will of course also only see bases you actually uploaded on the other account, if they even show at all. You can only edit or delete what belongs to the account you loaded into. I would personally likely find it easier to do any deletion through the editor itself. Of course make sure to check if all has gone as planned first. And if you decide to keep the bases on the new platform after transfer, these will not yet have been uploaded.

It may sound more complicated than it needs to be, especially when new to options like this, but if you give it some thought, it will all start to make sense, I hope

[smoky patio]

i kinda get it now still a lil confuused tho. might just leave it how it is then

[fallow meadow]

That is of course entirely up to you

[smoky patio]

are you aware of any ways to copy and paste a base to another place3

[fallow meadow]

Yes, moving a base is actually quite easy.

Only problem is often to get it to fit well, matching the new location

[smoky patio]

what about leaving it in its orignal place but also copying it to another place

[smoky patio]

its a sky base

[fallow meadow]

You can of course use a copy to be placed anywhere else

[smoky patio]

how so

[fallow meadow]

It requires a save editor, then advanced editing of the Raw JSON. You look for the data that makes up your base, copy it aside. Then in-game you go to the new location, placing a Base computer to get the location data, then add all the base data to it, minus the previous base computer.

[smoky patio]

any videos for this anything like that

[fallow meadow]

I am not sure if anyone actually made a video of this process.

[smoky patio]

whats all the requirments i need and is it safe? like what type of save editor stuff like that

[fallow meadow]

<#nms-modding message>
You will need either NomNom, or NMSSE. I would currently recommend NMSSE, as JSON editing is just easier with it. NomNom can do the same things and possibly more, but it is in beta, and the JSON editor is not quite as easy to use just yet (he's working on it though)

It is perfectly safe, as long as you begin with making a backup of your saves before trying either

If you have your backup, you can mess up all you want.

Other than that, it just needs some explaining where to find the data, how the formatting of JSON works, and what exactly to copy and paste back in once you got your new base computer in place

[smoky patio]

can you provide me with this informatyion

[fallow meadow]

Sure, but easiest to explain once you have the tool installed and running, after you made your backup

[smoky patio]

how do you dop the backup and ill get the tool rn

[fallow meadow]

Go to this location, which you can type exactly in search to see the folder to open:
%appdata%\HelloGames\NMS

[smoky patio]

do i need to close the game?

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1566?tab=files

also is this nomnom ^

[fallow meadow]

Yes, close the game, go to the file location, copy the NMS folder, go to a new location to create a folder you can easily find again (call it NMS Backups or something).

[smoky patio]

im athe location

[fallow meadow]

And yes, that is NomNom, which I would not suggest for moving base

[smoky patio]

what do you suggest for moving the base

[smoky patio]

just backed it up

[fallow meadow]

NMSSE

[smoky patio]

https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor

is that it

[fallow meadow]

Yes

[smoky patio]

downloading

[smoky patio]

alri got it

[fallow meadow]

The .exe you downloaded is a self-extracting package. Create a folder for it and call it NMSSE or alike. Then double-click the executable to have it extract the content

[smoky patio]

ALREADY DID THAT

opps caps

open the jar?

[fallow meadow]

Yes open the main jar

[smoky patio]

opened

wants to choose a save path?

[fallow meadow]

That should open the tool, and yes, if it has not already found the path, you have to locate it

[smoky patio]

what path does it want? like the path for the application
?

or the save? or the gam,e?

[fallow meadow]

Path to the saves

[smoky patio]

which folder in the save

the nms folder?

[fallow meadow]

It usually locates the saves unless in a weird location. Yes, you open the NMS folder, then the Steam64ID numbered folder

[fallow meadow]

You can then just click open. Then select the slot from the dropdown instead

[smoky patio]

do i choose the save

i chose my only slot byut it has two saves

[fallow meadow]

You have to select the slot

[smoky patio]

nvm its the autosave and manual

[fallow meadow]

Yes, but the editor will select the last one if you pick the slot

[smoky patio]

alr done whats next

[fallow meadow]

Now you click the 'Edit' tab and select 'Edit Raw JSON'

[smoky patio]

don e

what next

[fallow meadow]

On the left are the field names, on the right the actual data within. It shows like a folder structure

[smoky patio]

i see it

[fallow meadow]

The + indicates it has more fields within

[smoky patio]

i know

[fallow meadow]

Now we need the base data. This is under 'PlayerStateData'

Then scroll down quite a ways to find 'PersistentPlayerBases'

Open that as well and you see numbers like so [0], [1], etc

Each number will represent a base

[smoky patio]

found the folder

[fallow meadow]

I am not sure how many you have, not do I know which is the Sky base

You found the right number?

[smoky patio]

i got 16 folders

how am i supposedd to find the base?

[fallow meadow]

Ok, open each and on the right scroll all the way down to see what it says. Should be able to recognise by the name or something

[smoky patio]

i dont see any names

nvm i see n ow

[fallow meadow]

Look for something like this at the bottom of each:

    "Owner":{
        "LID":"76561198093556678",
        "UID":"76561198093556678",
        "USN":"",
        "PTK":"ST",
        "TS":1624736682
    },
    "Name":"Muckie Base W ot W",
    "BaseType":{
        "PersistentBaseTypes":"HomePlanetBase"
    },

[smoky patio]

found it

[fallow meadow]

Ok, now if you look at all the data, starting at the top. You will see position and info that makes up the location. Then followed by 'Objects', which is all the base parts with info for those.

[smoky patio]

i see all the folders

[fallow meadow]

You will have to copy the full part on the right, and paste it aside in a text editor

[smoky patio]

of wghich folder. like the postiitoning? or objects which do i copy

im assuming objects

question since its a sky base should i keep the postioning so its in the sky

[fallow meadow]

You click the number for the base you found, on the left, then all the data is needed on the right
You can use <ctrl>+<A> to select all, then <ctrl>+<C> to copy

[smoky patio]

i copied it all

[fallow meadow]

With that copied to clipboard, open a text editor and <ctrl> + <V> to paste

[smoky patio]

done

[fallow meadow]

Now you can close the window and open the game

We will get back to the editor later

[smoky patio]

opening game now

[fallow meadow]

In the game, you need to find a new location for the base. Now keep in mind where the base you copied, has the base computer, as the new location where you are now going to place a base computer is going to need to be the same (relatively), but at a new spot

[smoky patio]

im going to the spot i want rn

im confused on the computer part

[fallow meadow]

Once you have placed the new base computer and activated it, you can save the game again and close it to the main menu

[smoky patio]

thje base computer is also in the station its all in the air none of it is in the sky

[smoky patio]

im at my spot and have a base co mputer down

[fallow meadow]

The idea is to use the editor to copy the base parts but put it at the new computer. We are using this new computer to mark the location of where the new base is going to be

[smoky patio]

and then it will over wrie it gotcha

[fallow meadow]

Ok, so save and close to the main menu. Now we need to check the text editor and go back to the Save Editor, which should say the save has updated, asking ot confirm

[smoky patio]

it didnt ask that i just went back to the raw editor didnt ask anything

found trhe folder of the base

ive had the base computer cause iw anted to put something in that spot

[fallow meadow]

It did not show that the save had changed?

[smoky patio]

all i did was tp to that spot so nah ive had the cmputer there

[fallow meadow]

It was already there?

So you did not place one and saved?

[smoky patio]

yes ive had a computer there for a minute cause i wanted to build therte eventually

[fallow meadow]

Ok, so I guess we can then just go find that base computer in the list of bases

[smoky patio]

already found it

[fallow meadow]

Ok, now keep that open and check the text editor, because we do not want 2 base computers

[smoky patio]

what do i need to do in the text editor ui have both open rn

[fallow meadow]

The full data for a Base Computer looks like this:

        {
            "Timestamp":1624736681,
            "ObjectID":"^BASE_FLAG",
            "UserData":0,
            "Position":[
                -0.00048828125,
                -0.0029296875,
                0.0010376001009717584
            ],
            "Up":[
                -0.0009096119902096689,
                0.9999998211860657,
                -8.344577508978546e-7
            ],
            "At":[
                7.453969885773404e-9,
                8.344648563252122e-7,
                1.000000238418579
            ]
        },

So in the text editor, where you find the BASE_FLAG, the full block of data needs to be removed

[smoky patio]

done i removed it

[fallow meadow]

Now in the text editor, we also ONLY need all the other base parts

Because the position and everything else is already in the save editor for that new base

You can see that all the base parts are listed under 'Objects' on the right, just like the computer was.

All have a very similar block

[smoky patio]

do i copy in the new computer into the text editor

[fallow meadow]

No, you need to copy all the 'Objects' from the text editor into the Save Data for the new base, so they are then also in the 'Objects' together with the BASE_FLAG there

[smoky patio]

objects on down?

[fallow meadow]

So you start copying at the first curly bracket after 'Objects' on the next line. Then scroll all the way to the last part.

Now depending on how many parts your base has, you may need to scroll quite a ways

[smoky patio]

copied

[fallow meadow]

It should end just before 'RID" and all the other user data

[smoky patio]

end it on the ], or the }

[fallow meadow]

Now you paste those into the save data after the BASE_FLAG, and make sure you did not mess up formatting (commas, brackets, etc)

[smoky patio]

copy all of it into the objects folder right

where i highlighted the base data was there before until u had me delete it. do i need to paste whats iun my objects rn right there

[fallow meadow]

Why are there landing pads?

That is the text where you deleted the base computer. You need to select all the objects from there and paste those in the save editor.

[smoky patio]

the base4 has landing pands?\

do i past them below the base computer in the saver edxitor

[fallow meadow]

Lets get back to copying the base parts only. Because you are doing it different

[smoky patio]

this is text editor

[fallow meadow]

So in the text file, copy all the base parts from the list of 'Objects'
