[past harness]

oooo i see i see, and by that logic then i should start seeing more people the closer i get, hopefully, that'd be cool if it worked like that.

[magic lava]

All places are the same for everyone, barring any generation mods ofc

[past harness]

I'm glad they did modding like that though.

are there any mods that help render distance, im so sorry for being needy lol. I'm looking myself, but im not sure if theres a community favorite like FNV

you can get a fucking freighter now???

[magic lava]

Yeah

Look for Fine LOD

Not sure if it's still a thing

[past harness]

Saw that one ^^ will do

[tawdry veldt]

What's letting people attack players in the anomaly?

I know of a few oob glitches but I don't understand the mechanics behind this one

[hearty wasp]

what is "this one"

people can get OOB in the anomaly

and if not that, cheat engine can do the rest

[fallow meadow]

Not recommended, as griefing is rightfully frowned upon, even though we have settings to avoid getting killed (default has it possible)

[tawdry veldt]

Oh it was actually very obvious when I thought about how HG might manage the anomaly instance, wasn't an oob glitch at all. Won't share it here xd but what a silly thing. Definitely on par with the spawn death lock thing in terms of breaking the game

[mystic wasp]

@silent pivot Yeah I'm not sure why I ran a clean install of your mod with nothing else too. Still getting pretty rough pop in. 🤷‍♂️ ill just deal for now I guess lol its not horrible I just rather obvs not deal with pop in etc

[mystic wasp]

Let me know how fine LOD works for you

[silent pivot]

i just captured some footage ( while i took the screenshots ) and i didnt had clipping. i have no idea

[silent pivot]

I dont use it

[mystic wasp]

Maybe I just need a tech upgrade? Figured my 2080ti would be enough lol.

Ill check all those with what I have. Idk how they would be different since I downlaoded from nexus. Yeah its odd Ill try and take a video or something to show you I i can.

[silent pivot]

also my game setting are in ultra

[mystic wasp]

Maybe Im expecting too much and being hyper critical? Seems like there is 0 or close to 0 pop in im the video but for me it happens almost always and for stuff thats not that far off. Idk who knows. Thank youfor you help and support and the work you do. Ill try some stuff and get back to you. And yeah game ran in ultra when I started it first time. What resolution do you run?

[ebon gale]

Does anyone know if there exists a mod for surveying for specific hotspot types from orbit? Essentially a way to get an approx location of a nearby hotspot of whatever element you are looking for you would still have to land with the survey visor but it would at least give you a ball park Element X is located somewhere within 1000u of this location.

[jolly drift]

Exosolar's Beyond Base Building vs Gumsk's Base Building - gBase
Anyone who has used both and can tell me which is the better mod in terms of functionality and modifications ?

[hearty wasp]

they do different things

[jolly drift]

exactly what i'm trying to figure out....I have been using the Exosolar mod and was wondering if they both can be used simultaneously

[hearty wasp]

gbase has a lua

and so does BBB

[jolly drift]

so i could essentially use AMUMSS to combine them right?

or features exclusive to each

[hearty wasp]

ye

the luas are prolly inside the paks

so you can just put the paks inside ModScript folder

[jolly drift]

there's also the BuildFrame mods i was interested in using and i think those mods do modify some of the same files that BBB and gbase modify

[hearty wasp]

that's why they're all in lua

they're all very clearly stated in their respective description pages

[jolly drift]

cool, i'll go through it all in detail and ask if i have any questions then...thank you 🙂

also just realised you're the modder for BuildFrame xD

[ebon gale]

Dumb question If I want to load a specific mod last from what I understand the its Alphabetically from A-Z with Z loading last the question I have is so many mod files start their file names with _ and I am not sure how the underscore changes the load order so If i wanted to change the order so it loads last would I rename it as Z_ or _Z ?

[hearty wasp]

underscore is after Z in alphabetical order

so if there's an underscore at the beginning of the file name, it's sorted after A-Z and gains priority

[small shale]

Anyone know how to use macros with this game?

I know that's not technically modding but still

[hearty wasp]

AHK?

[silent pivot]

1080

[past harness]

any recent mods that improve fleet competency?

Also whats the difference between LUA and PAK?

[marsh eagle]

Lua is the buildplan for the mod. Pak is the actual mod file the game can use.
A tool ,(amumss) can convert luas tonpak mods

[whole stag]

space station fix mod doesnt seem to be working?

[teal sable]

so whats the deal with mods? do they disable when multiplayer is on? do they just not disable?

[vale iron]

Check the pins, but short answer is they don't really affect multiplayer

[teal sable]

i heard something about them causing crashes alot

[vale iron]

It's possible for a mod to cause a crash, but that's almost always just an out of date mod

[teal sable]

oh

[fiery island]

Any good mods for NMS?

[vale iron]

That really depends on what you like/want

[magic lava]

Anything that starts with G

GBase, Gships etc

Argh water, Sean Sean's Sean

Eucli-ea

Consumerism, duds Sky

Fantasy is crazy

[fiery island]

Mostly about game mechanics, but I'm okay with the others

[fiery island]

Thanks gleam, those mods sound ridiculous but I'll check them out lol

Hmm I didn't know Gbase, Gships, etc were made by Gumsk lol

[vale iron]

Yeah, those are all me, well probably 99%

[merry wasp]

[magic lava]

Oh sorry

And Gamemasters stuff - but I don't know the names

Very handy

*Custom food

Sean is good

I love Sean

[merry wasp]

That one isn't release tho XD

[magic lava]

See why I didn't recommend yours?! Cmon meng

[merry wasp]

As it would rely on people making descriptions/dds files

Haha

My mod names are indeed not aseasy to 'remember' as G-mods

Or sean

[inland onyx]

Are people on ps4 able to use a save editor for their saves?

I've been looking around everywhere online but there seems to be very little info for console.

[magic lava]

Yessss, to a degree from what I've gathered.

@night adder Is the save editing on PS4 a large hassle?

[inland onyx]

Figured I couldn't do anything crazy but anything is better than nothing 😂

[night adder]

It requires you to buy SaveWizard, which isn't very user-friendly, so I'd say it's at least a midsized hassle, lol. But otherwise can accomplish everything PC save editing can.

[inland onyx]

I've actually already got save wizard/save editor

Though I can't find any videos or anything online of people using that software for the game.

I've used save wizard a bunch for gta5 and a few others so I'm pretty familiar with how that software works at least.

[night adder]

@inland onyx Right-click on a save to open a save, click Export to save it to PC, both GoatFungus can recognize the format. After editing, open SaveWizard back up, Advanced mode for the save, and import the JSON back in. Afterwards, highlight one of the numbers in the right pane, press the same one so you're basically just replacing it without actually changing anything - you'll get an error, something about the character not being in the current library. Click Continue. It's dumb, but you need to make an alteration to the advanced mode window before it'll allow you to apply the changes and save to your USB drive.

[inland onyx]

So I'm basically just using goatfungus instead of save editor and the rest of the process is normal to any other save edits? @night adder

Aside from the number change at the end

[night adder]

Yes, but GoatFungus is just the name of the guy currently updating NMSSE, the other save editing program that works is NomNom.

Dont ask me how that got started or why people call it GF even though it's the same program, I just call it that to avoid confusion with most people.

[inland onyx]

Okay awesome, I'm going to give it a go here and hope I dont botch the whole thing lol.

[viscid island]

Are you only able to mod the steam version of NMS or can you mod the xbox gamepass version

[hearty wasp]

you need to use this beforehand to make it possible

oops wrong link

https://github.com/AndASM/ANMSMEMSPC

[inland onyx]

Does anyone know why the account tab would be grayed out in the save editor for me?

[wind stream]

So quick question probably a stupid one but can u do mods on console or just pc

[hearty wasp]

pc only

[wind stream]

Ight thank you I was just wondering cuz I didn’t even know the game had mods

[inland onyx]

You can use save editor for console though

[round sinew]

UPDATE

It would appear the game has been updated and Microsoft has updated Game Services. Those things combined may prevent you from using this app or using mods. The author of this app no longer plays this game or uses Microsoft's Store for games. Good luck.

but using mods is still possible on gamepass?

simply remove DISABLEMODS.TXT?

[hearty wasp]

iirc files are protected with UWP or someshit so can't

that's what that tool does

[steady plover]

How to get the settlement dance song in my own bybeat

Hello?

[teal sable]

i've been tryna to install nms mods but when i put them into the mods folder it doesn't work

you're gonna need to provide more details than that... Did you delete the DISABLEMODS.TXT file?

[past harness]

i just wish there was cities man

Is there any anticheat I should be aware of relating to modding?

[vale iron]

No, they don't care about modding.

[kindred peak]

Is there a mod for handcuffs or restraints?

[past harness]

anyway to increase fov past 100?

No

[steel crypt]

Dude, this seriously makes me wonder what the hell someone is trying to do with NMS.

You need to work with him Winder and make a combo with "Sean" mod.

Why you do this

Ignore please winder

DUD'S SKY updated v3.91.2

• Updated _MOD_DUD_AiShipPlusMoreDamage_v3911 to _MOD_DUD_AiShipPlusMoreDamage_v3912

• Updated _MOD_DUD_SpaceshipFlight_v3911 to _MOD_DUD_SpaceshipFlight_v3912

  (Makes classes of ships more distinct from each other.)
  (Better balancing of all flight characteristics.)

[kindred peak]

So there is no RP mods?

[hearty wasp]

I don't think anyone knows what that means except you

[kindred peak]

Literally Role Play

I didnt think it was that much of Jargon? Anyone ever played fiveM with gta V?

[hearty wasp]

try describing the features you want

rather than one term that imply those features

[kindred peak]

Ok. So is there a way to knock out players? Or put restraints or handcuffs on them and bring them to a "jail" that you construct?

Or bounty hunt?

[hearty wasp]

no

[kindred peak]

Damn it

So you can either go and kill players and thats it or kill npcs?

[hearty wasp]

there's Hobo Town if you want NPCs in the wild https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1017

[kindred peak]

That does seem cool

[hearty wasp]

tbh if you want to rp, this community prolly would prefer to just use imagination

console inclusion and all that

go join the Hub or someshit

[kindred peak]

Ah. So basically tell ppl to pretend they were captured?

[hearty wasp]

I mean yeah

as long as they consent to rp

[hearty leaf]

I see a lot of cheat mods. Are those considered taboo? It seems odd that a game with multiplayer would allow cheats.

[teal sable]

if you increase the amount of refiners you can have with mods you can essentially become walter white

[fallow meadow]

Nothing wrong with cheating yourself. Mods are perfectly fine as long as you do not grief others

[teal sable]

i think i mighta accidentally erased my save file, any way to get it back?

nvm i have it back now

thankfully verifying integrity solves all problems

[teal sable]

so i have a mod that increases rewards for missions but it won't work, anyone know whats going on?

ohhhh disable mods came back

i deleted it so now i'm good

[fast drift]

I'm stuck on the translator calibrator for Amidst the Stars, anyone know the JSON edit to complete it?

[vale iron]

#nms-modding message

[still plover]

So what is the consumerism mod

[vale iron]

Consumerism lets you buy expedition rewards with quicksilver

So it gives it a feeling of accomplishment still, while making it accessible

[still plover]

Oooo ok

[vale iron]

Save editing, you can just give yourself the reward, but that doesn't feel as good

[still plover]

Yea DONT really want to do that

[vale iron]

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

[still plover]

So can I have this running with people in my lobby or do it do everything in a different lobby

[vale iron]

Yes, you can. NMS doesn't split people off with mods

[still plover]

Oh ok cool

Thanks for telling me I’ll be heading off for tonight be on tomorrow

[teal sable]

i've heard something about a certain mission deleting ur save if you have mods, is this true?

[vale iron]

No

I've never heard of that and don't know that it would be possible

[magic lava]

It's bullshit, I have a save that has many mods and have done every single mission in it

[ebon gale]

Has anyone come up with a temp fix or override mod for the contraband sell price bug its been months since the issue started and it does not look like there is gonna be a hotfix any time soon

[steel crypt]

This would imply that mods in general, not a particular mod, being loaded by the mod loading system that HG provides, are causing HG to flag a save for deletion. Also HG choosing to not delete the offending mods or warn you about it, but leave them there so that if you start a new save it would be doomed for deletion. That would be a strange thing to do.

[lofty ibex]

any1 have any inventory modules to give away . i cant caft them bc u need a mod to do that and im on the xbox version of nms

just 1 is fine

[magic lava]

#nms-lfg-or-trades , offer something even if it's just help with something

[ebon gale]

Can someone direct me to a tutorial for merging two pak files with Amumss? all he instructions seem to indicate merging specific LUA files with existing Pak files but I cant find a clear path to combing two mods are already in pak format and don't provide a raw LUA

[hearty wasp]

you do not

[ebon gale]

my knowledge of LUA in general is lacking so it would need to be the for dummies version

oh so how do I resolve a conflict than

[hearty wasp]

you either unpack the paks, decompile the mbins into exmls, compare exmls from both paks to the vanilla exml to see what is changed, apply changes from both exmls, recompile, repack

or you remove one of the paks from your install

[ebon gale]

so assume I have never done this before and don't know the terminology here

I would be learning this from the ground up

I am guessing I would need a intro to nms modding guide of some kind

[hearty wasp]

https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/NoMansSky:0.2.0

try this

or this https://nmsmodding.fandom.com/wiki/Getting_Started

[kindred peak]

Can someone make a handcuff script for RP groups?

[hearty wasp]

no

can't

[kindred peak]

Why cant it happen?

[hearty wasp]

because we can't add new functions

[kindred peak]

Ah

[hearty wasp]

and "controlling another player's movement" is not an existing function

[kindred peak]

Is there any Role playish scripts?

[hearty wasp]

such as?

[kindred peak]

I guess restraints. You dont need to control a players movement

But I guess cuffs and restraints would do that tho cus it would tie their hands up so nvm

Is there a Jail type thing?

Idk lol I am just spit balling her. Looks like no one here likes to role play

[hearty wasp]

restraints, as in visual only?

[hearty wasp]

people here role play in a different way

we just do politics here

[kindred peak]

Yes

[kindred peak]

Explain

[hearty wasp]

if we can do custom anims we can prolly add an emote

alas we can't

don't see a "hands together" static anim either

[hearty wasp]

look into the likes of Galactic Hub

ask around in #no-mans-sky

[kindred peak]

Damn it

Ok. I'll look into them for sure

Do most people play nice when you guys try to do RolePlay?

[fervent pine]

Is it there a mod that remove weapon recoil?

[merry wasp]

what weapon recoil?

[fervent pine]

For example when you shot the boltcaster the first round hits the target, then the folling ones get higher and higher until you stop shooting

[rapid sandal]

Look in GCPLAYERGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN, it has a number of recoil related settings.

[hearty wasp]

ooh, nice

I can use em for myself too

[rapid sandal]

Yeah, going to do a low|no recoil script now for my play-as fighter option.

These seem to work, based on a quick test.

[fervent pine]

Thank you very much, I am not sure on how to use the script, but I can look in the mbin

Or can I just install the script as a mod with vortex?

[fervent pine]

ok I did not manage to do it wih that script, but I found another way: I changed the value for the barrel ioniser in GCTECHNOLOGYTABLES

[rapid sandal]

It's a NMSMB script, you could just drop it in the NMSMB Scripts/Mod/new/ folder and build a mod pak from it.
https://github.com/cmkushnir/NMSModBuilder
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2032

[rapid sandal]

Sure, I guess removing|altering the StatBonuses StatsTypeEnum:Weapon_Projectile_Recoil for UT_BOLT, and others, is another possible way, although I'm not sure it would take care of all weapons.

@fervent pine Updated to make changes to both GCPLAYERGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN and METADATA/REALITY/TABLES/NMS_REALITY_GCTECHNOLOGYTABLE.MBIN.

[fervent pine]

Ty very much!

[royal glen]

Can anyone help me with salvaged ship mods

[rapid sandal]

There's not much to mod, or did you have something specific in mind ? You can change the exchange rate you get when you scrap, how many slots are broken, and NMSMB has a script to make salvage stations placeable anywhere you can build stuff.

i have this new string i want to add to a LOC file. in \ModScriptCollection\LearningExamples\Advanced\ADD_REMOVE_TEXT_EXAMPLE.LUA, it shows:

what KEY_WORD should i use if i just want it to add a new Property section like these?

i'm doing it like

and obviously to some, it doesn't change anything in that file

i assume because i'm not giving it a key_word, like special or preceding?

[kindred vine]

thanks

[steel crypt]

I don't use AMUMSS, so I can't help. Also have covid and not up to much.
I would recommend posting it on the modding discord in the AMUMSS channel.

Is there any mod out that that better displays what freighters/cargo ships are carrying?

[tidal portal]

ok, so i just been told that ship shield can be moded to high heaven, but can standard ship health be done the same?

[hearty wasp]

Doubt that can be done

Not with ease, at least

[hearty wasp]

You can edit em with save editors

[night adder]

@hearty wasp Save editing can do nothing to affect ship core health.

[hearty wasp]

Ain't there modules that add health tho

Or am I fish brain

[night adder]

Not ship health, that is always 7 - and even if there were modules, there's no way to dodge tech overload with save editing.

[hearty wasp]

You get 7?

Mine's always 5 or 6

At least you can get it to 7 I guess

[vale iron]

One of my mods changes ship health, but I can't remember which. I'll look

[night adder]

@hearty wasp For your ship, it's 7, always. Your Radiant Pillar in a new save has 7.

[vale iron]

GCPLAYERGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN , DefaultShipHealthPips

The default value is 6, so maybe it's 1+value?

[night adder]

I guess? I actually know little of the coding side of things, lol.

[timid lake]

nvm,

How safe do we think Save Editors are, like GoatFungus' editor: https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor

I've never once used a save editor on PC...

But am considering adding a HyperDrive to my NMS v1.1 freighter that lacks one - and one can't be added in game presently.

[storm bronze]

i've used it many times without issue, but you might want to back up your save just in case. I think it has an automatic backup function but idk how it works

[teal sable]

a good mod to have if grinding for resources is painful: hypershop, it basically makes the galactic terminal sell everything (though i recommend uninstalling it when you have what you need to avoid ruining the game)

[willow minnow]

I saw this biome mode which changes gen a bit would this have and harmful effects in the future.

[ebon gale]

Does anyone have a link to a mod or just standalone LUA that removes the 4095 units cap from refining processes

[novel fulcrum]

yo I have a question

How do I install mods?

Last I remember u delete the disable mods file then add a MODS folder in the databank

But it just crashes my game

[restive kite]

is there an existing mod for clicking pictures? like i have poor pc.. so my settings are pretty low.. but only for taking picture.. i have to bump up everything.. if there is a mod which only switches temporarily during a picture is clicked..that would be dope

[fiery island]

Thank you ArghRad, for the cool ass mod that makes the water more realistic

[fiery island]

I don't think there's a mod for that

[restive kite]

how to make a mod? like where to start with.. ? or download an existing ones and see how it works? is there a guide of sorts ?

[fiery island]

1. Open NMS main folder
2. There will be two folders inside (Binaries and GAMEDATA), open GAMEDATA
3. Open PCBANKS
4. Delete DISABLEMODS.txt
5. Put your mods inside MODS folder

enjoy

[fiery island]

Idk JOY, I'm not a modder myself. maybe others could help

[restive kite]

Found it : https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/NoMansSky:Landing_Page Thanks anyways 🙂

[hearty wasp]

It doesn't break your save so there ain't much harm to be had

Worst would be if you install a terrain mod, build a base, remove mod

Now your base underground

[hearty wasp]

You have an outdated mod

Remove anything that's not a model replacement or texture mod that was last updated more than 2 months ago

[odd shell]

Is there a mod that removes the horrid visibility on planets when a storm and alike appears? Not removing the drain on life support though

Nice. Thanks

[worthy spoke]

I need a mod that either will allow me to connect items from two different bases as though they were one in the same seamlessly or a mod that DRASTICALLY increases the distance I am allow to build away from my base com. I sort of need this now for a base I am currently working on please.

[worthy spoke]

I need to reach ORBIT

[hearty wasp]

can't

well, the former

the latter you can use blender with the base building plugin

and just push your base however high you want

[worthy spoke]

I just got one actually. Thanks anyway.

I am about to test it

IT WORKS!!!! YES!!!!

[hearty wasp]

which mod is it btw?

[shy surge]

Arghwater changed my life, it's so beautiful <3

[odd shell]

I just downloaded raytracing shader after i put in my sweet new RTX 3080. But in the game its like it switches between 2 modes every few seconds.

[hearty wasp]

reshade?

they should have a forum of their own

[cosmic prism]

hi whats ur opinion in this mod?: Ant Guy's Sky (Colossal Biomes)

[hearty wasp]

never heard of it

[paper verge]

Is there a video or a guide for suggested mods to install, both in practicality\quality of life improvement\graphics etc ?

[odd shell]

Is it a mod that makes grass come through the floor in my base?

[hearty wasp]

What

[odd shell]

straws are coming through the floor in my base

i used pavement tiles

if i remove and install again the grass is gone but when i reload the game the grass is there again,

[hearty wasp]

just how the game works

prolly ran out of base terrain edit quota

[round sinew]

i'd suggest taking a look at nexusmods nms page. mod authors like Lo2k, Gumsk, have some stuff you might be interested in to get started. they both have a single page where they track and show status of all their mods combined, really useful.

[fiery island]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/797

is this mod highly recommended?

[hearty wasp]

Sure

If you like it then anything is

[odd shell]

Anyone know of a reshade that makes the game look just a little bit more realistic?

[hearty wasp]

nexus has a category just for reshade presets

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/categories/3/

[odd shell]

just couldnt find something there and most of them are too old 😦

[hearty wasp]

reshade presets can get outdated?

I've not heard of that

but then I don't use reshade enough

[odd shell]

Not only do those reshades contain the ini but also files that go into reshade folder but if you do that you get compile errors

[hearty wasp]

anyway, if the biggest mod site doesn't have it, I don't think you can find one in another place

[odd shell]

true

[hearty wasp]

try the reshade forums I guess

[fiery island]

Alright

[rain trellis]

All the mods I try to use screw with my game and make it crash. Am I missing something here?

[steel crypt]

Get updated mods that don't conflict.

[heavy bridge]

Is there a mod that shortens scanning times that works?

I could only find one but its old and people were saying it made their game crash

[vale iron]

gGame works

[novel fulcrum]

Yo I have a question

Is there a mod that allows you to get more than 9 ships?

[hearty wasp]

No

But you can export and import ships with NMS Companion

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

I think

[magic lava]

Yes

[ebon gale]

Has anyone made a mod that lets you name save beacons or put down named markers of any kind that does not require a full base computer.

Mostly needed as a stop gap for a base radius expansion mod which causes problems with computer overlap and yet you loose remote mining sites because you cant tag them without the computer currently

[merry wasp]

@torn oyster just giving you a tip, try to make a lua , makes updating life easier

[torn oyster]

tip? lua?

[merry wasp]

uhu

script

if you're gonna make more mods creating lua scripts for them will make your life easier

[hearty wasp]

can't

[ebon gale]

the community really needs to put the screws to the devs in terms of their complete lack of basic common sense QOL functionality after all these years

[hearty wasp]

yeah

start a campaign to spam their ZenDesk with requests

or maybe not cos spamming is bad unless it's genuinely a wanted feature

[ebon gale]

tbh not having a basic waypoint system with naming is pretty bad for a game as large as nms

like how can it not exist unless its intentionally designed that way to aggravate players

[odd crater]

The same mod you use.

[tidal portal]

ok, so the Goatfungus editor keeps wanting to extract when its already been extracted

and I cant get it to open

[round sinew]

either that or oracle's own jre

can confirm it works fine with jre-openjdk

[tidal portal]

wait we need more stuff installed now besides the original editors? agh

[round sinew]

there's a requirements section in the github page

[fallen osprey]

hey guys anyone know of a mod that turns off the dynamic/contextual building? where parts automatically change if theyre stacked

[hearty wasp]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2281

lua only, use AMUMSS or not at all

[tidal portal]

do i ned to acquire all the requires? I assume so

[hearty wasp]

well, "require" means they are "needed", so

[fallen osprey]

thank you!

[rain trellis]

Is it possible for my edited save to make it impossible for me to do multiplayer?

Seems to freak out if i use a seed for my frieighter

[waxen cedar]

mods or save edits don't disable multiplayer

[rain trellis]

I know they don't but for some reason multiplayer isn't working now after using a save editor for a seed of a frieghter

[waxen cedar]

Could you give me the seed? I can check it out

it shouldn't be caused by that

[rain trellis]

It's just any seed that causes it.

[plucky nexus]

Anyone know if there's a mod to show the full path, or distance to custom waypoints on the galaxy map? Can't seem to find anything matching that description

[vale iron]

There isn't one

[plucky nexus]

ah, that would explain it

[lime mesa]

If I transfered my xbox save to my PC, would I be able to save edit?

[hearty wasp]

yes

[lime mesa]

And would I be able to bypass the build limit through save editing?

[uneven lichen]

how can you transfer it?

[lime mesa]

You can play xbox games on pc

[hearty wasp]

that's not a save thing

that's a game thing

[lime mesa]

dam

[hearty wasp]

you don't add objects to your base with save editing

unless you use the blender plugin

[uneven lichen]

yeah but that what i know is that you can only save edit the steam version and not the xbox

[hearty wasp]

you can edit the game pass/windows store version

and if you have the game on xbox you have the game on windows store

and the save is cross platform

[uneven lichen]

and with which tool?

[hearty wasp]

either save editor works

[uneven lichen]

and where i can find the save in which folder?

[floral mural]

I use GoatFungus and edit my Xbox gamepass save on my pc and then use the edited save on my Xbox console once I've added everything I wanted

[hearty wasp]

you can follow the instructions in the respective tools' pages on github

[uneven lichen]

can we go into a call?

[hearty wasp]

no

[uneven lichen]

because in that folder where the save shouldt be isonly a default user and not my save

[sly plank]

Hello. My friend accidentally reported my base and now he can't see it, is there a way to unreport it to see it again?

[hearty wasp]

try #nms-questions also

[sly plank]

I was sent here from there 🙂

[unkempt locust]

Greetings, folks. I am trying to learn and use NMS MCDaMM. I have the options in the image here set up... Yet, in the other image, I am told project folders are not found? I do not quite know what my next steps are--I have watched the darn video and just...sorry. I know once it dawns on me I'll have no issues doing this! (I played in 2018/9 or so when we had to do merges another way--but it's just been so long.)

[serene goblet]

Hello all. 😊 Is there a mod that restores the sunset duration? These 2 second sunsets are somewhat jarring. 🙂

[midnight wyvern]

Is there a mod that changes/adds new patterns to the capes? I only found one that removes them but it ruins the texture

[slender wraith]

hi all. i use NMM and mods arent working. they are on the mods folder. do i have to modify the txt?

[sterile gulch]

What are some good multiplayer compatible, quality of life mods

I have the enhanced 3rd person camera and arghwater so far

I'm thinking about pledging on patreon for the raytracing mod but I kinda have an AMD gpu

[pliant yoke]

Are there any mods that make living ships compatible with regular upgrade modules?

[vale iron]

gTech does. If you want just that, use the Alien Installs version:
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1361

[pliant yoke]

Thanks

[night adder]

@sly plank It can be done via manual save edit. You'd need to edit raw JSON, look for your friend's base in the PersistentPlayerBases section (other player's bases are saved at the end of it), and change the value IsReported from true to false.

[shrewd kelp]

I'm trying to use a flight stick with this game, but I can do everything other than activate my pulse drive, since I'm using a 360 controller emulator. I need to be able to activate my pulse drive with a single button somehow

[blissful arch]

is there a mod that allows multiple player freighters in one system?

[hearty wasp]

no

[blissful arch]

:( ok

[waxen cedar]

Is there a mod that adds Sean Murray to the game?

[hearty wasp]

yes

Sean

[waxen cedar]

thx

[hearty wasp]

[fallen osprey]

anyone mind answering some questions about setting up an activated indium farm?

wrong channel sorry

[river nebula]

You would want that why??

[lime mesa]

Does there happen to be a mod that can make short range teleporter cables invisible?

[hushed bronze]

@solid hawk ^
(I dont remember if mine does teleporter cords?)

[fleet remnant]

Can someone give me a squid ship please

[steel crypt]

pfffff

[plush wigeon]

well uh there's this infamous one.... https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2054 not sure if that's exactly what you had in mind 😄

[sour quiver]

I'm trying to find or make a mod that changes the speeds of all the exocraft individually (mainly because applying the speed modifier to all completely broke sentinel mechs and made them unkillable and extremely fast), I tried this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1495 but I got warnings about the names for every vehicle except the mech being unknown and therefore ignored. What're the proper names for all the exocrafts, or where can I go to find them all?

[vale iron]

I think the main two are Inertia Drifto and Unique Exocrafts:
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1941
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1939

You could also unpack gEpic and pull the gVehicles LUA out and play with that all you want.

[young pebble]

Every time i try to run the save editor, it either wants me to exract it again or says this, where is doesnt even show my saves

idk what to do

can anyone help me with this

[steel crypt]

DUD'S SKY updated v3.91.3
-Exo-craft in 3rd person switched to wasd control.
-Improved 1st person camera look rotation for mech.
-Fixed all headlight related vanilla bugs for all exo-craft.
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/507

[opaque shell]

go to #nms-questions

[magic lava]

Nope, this would be the appropriate channel for help with the save editor

[opaque shell]

oh ok

sorry then

[ruby torrent]

How do I update a mod that been outdated for a while?

[hearty wasp]

https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/NoMansSky:The_Modding_Basics

Get your basics setup beforehand

[ruby torrent]

I wanted to see if I could update this simple mod it where it removes those flying ships and only have them near the trading post https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/942

[cedar thunder]

You need the same mods as someone else to play with them right? Cant remember how modding in this game worked

[ruby torrent]

You don't need the same mods only the terrain mods you will need to see each other.

[cedar thunder]

Hm ok ok.

[ruby torrent]

But I am not 100% sure if that is the case but I do know if both of you don't have the same terrain mod the person who doesn't will be up in the air or at a random spot even if on the same planet and at the same spot both of you landed at.

[cedar thunder]

Been a couple years since I've played. I'll check the nexus and see whats new in the modding scene

[ruby torrent]

Alright

Only mods I like to use are the color mods sometimes I will check out a terrain mod but using those are risky if you have a base. Because when the game gets a update there a high chance the terrain mod won't work and your base will get stuck at a random spot like in the ground or in the sky.

[cedar thunder]

Omg I forgot about that base building mod. How is that not incorporated into the vanilla game yet

[ruby torrent]

Yeah it crazy

[cedar thunder]

Like it makes the base building wayy better but they haven't added that into the game yet? Crazy

[ruby torrent]

Like the mod that adds windows to freighters

Why can't they do that

[cedar thunder]

They could bring any mod into the game. They'd just have to upkeep that feature

[ruby torrent]

This one https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1096

[cedar thunder]

Yea

[ruby torrent]

The first picture with a window inside a freighter looks sick

[cedar thunder]

They need to buy that from the dude and put it in the game

[ruby torrent]

Yeah Hello games know they can do this because if a mod can do this than so can they

[cedar thunder]

The scalable items is the major thing tbh. Being able to make the GIANT storage units the size of a small box is so good

[ruby torrent]

Yeah

I am surprise they haven't release a official mod tools yet

[cedar thunder]

Oh well, its like bethesda and skyrim. The base game is there but it's buggy and kind of bad.

Modders made skyrim playable and replayable

Modders always save the day

[ruby torrent]

Yeah but Hello games kept this game updated and I love them for that

[cedar thunder]

Yea it just has alot more room for potential and I hope it acheives all it can be

[ruby torrent]

Yeah same here

I never thought the modding will take off like it did with this game when it first came out.

[cedar thunder]

I didn't think it was even really possible with the nature of the game and the shared worlds etc

[ruby torrent]

Yeah but players always find a way

Like you said with skyrim

Been playing this game off and on since day one and I am kind of sad I only have 279 hours played

While others have a lot more hours played

[vale iron]

There are three types of npc pilots on planets: trade outpost, random flyover, and black market that land. Which are you wanting to get rid of?

[ruby torrent]

Just the random flyover

I want to keep the other two

[vale iron]

That should do it

[ruby torrent]

Thank you but you didn't have to do that

[vale iron]

I already had it as part of gLonely

[ruby torrent]

Ah ok

[vale iron]

Just had to strip out all the other stuff

[ruby torrent]

How do I update it if a new game update breaks it

[vale iron]

Just run it through AMUMSS. You'll have to run this through AMUMSS too, so if you don't have that setup, you'll want to figure that part out

[ruby torrent]

Alright thank you

Sometimes those random flyovers get annoying

Wait you made Gumsk's lonely galaxy

[vale iron]

That would be me

[ruby torrent]

There was a another mod that did the same thing I use but the mod got outdated and the guy stopped working on it

He made a mod that removes half the civilization s and another one that have total empty https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1211

[vale iron]

Huh, I didn't know that existed

[ruby torrent]

Yeah I liked that mod because it impossible for the whole galaxy to be inhabited

I will check out your mod

[steel crypt]

There is actually a very low chance that an update will break a terrain mod.
The only way that will happen is if HG changes terrain. If that happens, terrain will change in vanilla.
I've had DUD'S SKY - TERRA FIRMA on Nexus mods for a year now. No updates needed and not expected.

[ruby torrent]

Really I always thought terrain mods had a higher chance since I been following this mod Better planet generation and people on there always say it is broken if a update caused enough changes

[tribal quartz]

is there a low flight updated mod?

[steel crypt]

That's because it is much more than terrain. It changes many files and flora placement, flora itself, etc. That is prone to breakage.
TERRA FIRMA is just the voxelgen/terrain/land. It has an extremely low chance of breakage and if the situation occurs that it does break, all vanilla players will be in the same boat because HG changed terrain.

[tribal quartz]

that works

[ruby torrent]

Ah I didn’t know that

[tribal quartz]

ahh good old terrain mod

[fiery island]

Does TERRA FIRMA change the biome? If not, I'll download it

[steel crypt]

It doesn't change the biome.
The only thing it changes is the surface that you walk on. The land/terrain/voxelgen. Nothing else.

[inland onyx]

What's an alternate to save wizard? Any softwares that execute the same tasks but don't limit you to profile sign ins?

[steel crypt]

There is a second mod on the TERRA FIRMA page called natural spawn that changes slightly the grouping of plants/trees for more forest and plains type placement. It will not change the plants, just group them differently. You don't have to use it with TERRA FIRMA. It is optional.

[steel crypt]

what does this mean: don't limit you to profile sign ins??

[fiery island]

Thanks, because Better Planet Generation fucked up everything about the planets

[steel crypt]

search flight on Nexus. Use something recent.
If all else fails, there is a flight mod in DUD'S SKY that might work for you.

[fiery island]

Nah I don't need it, I don't want to fool people around

[steel crypt]

Not sure what this means: I don't want to fool people around but okay, have fun!

[fiery island]

Biome mods aren't affecting other players, right?

Better Planet Generation changed the entire biomes, landscapes, even the fauna and flora.

[inland onyx]

Save Wizard limits you to 2 PSN ID'S being used at a time. Used to be 4 but they limited it because they're greedy. Trying to find something better.

[steel crypt]

Okay, I'm sorry, I was thinking "save editor" not "save wizard". I'm not sure, cuz I don't PS.

[steel crypt]

Other players will not see it.
I do wonder, but don't know....if a mod changes the plants or animals, how does that work with discovery services? I've never tested any of that.

I've always went to great effort to make my mods gameplay friendly. I purposefully don't change collectible items or flora/fauna or ships...etc. so there are some things about it that I don't know.

[fiery island]

I removed the mod before and when I scanned the animals, everything went with ?????

Except for their names

[steel crypt]

Yeah I know it would do some weirdness for sure.

Wtf lol

[hearty wasp]

lmao are you using Everyone is Sean

[timber frigate]

how do you install mods???

[magic lava]

It's the feds

Pins here have info

[cedar thunder]

you cant really use the vortex app to install mods anymore eh? most things are manual download

[merry wasp]

Depends is n the mod

[round sinew]

will modding station want to unpack every pak file?

because if so i definitely need more space

[hearty wasp]

yes

but modding station can miss a few

[round sinew]

thanks Winder 🙂

[cedar thunder]

I just threw the .pak and lua in the pcbank mod folder and it worked out.

[hearty wasp]

ye manual installation can be more reliable than vortex

idk why but vortex has a history of either missing paks

or the auxiliary files kinda getting in the way and stops the paks from being loaded

[jaunty pawn]

You guys know where I can edit my ships?

Like changing color and stuff

[fiery island]

NMS save game editor

[hearty wasp]

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[flint trellis]

it works for me and sometimes its all blehh XD

[fiery island]

Which save editor did you use?

[flint trellis]

wait are there more than one ?

[merry wasp]

You gonna make some mods?

[round sinew]

i'm only working on one

[merry wasp]

Better then none

[round sinew]

my food mod i talked about a while back

[merry wasp]

Oh

But have script for that

I made that for you guys

[round sinew]

yes, but it's a learning process

[merry wasp]

Fair enough

[round sinew]

i do have those files

to which i look for when i have some doubt 😄

[merry wasp]

Well if you git questions feel free to ask

[round sinew]

sure 🙂

thanks

[fallow meadow]

I think he's not telling the truth. I have a feeling he might be getting hooked!

[merry wasp]

That happens after your first succesfull mod :D

[hearty wasp]

yeah

I couldn't stop making Seans

[plush wigeon]

so you're saying, if I ever do a mod, make sure it's one I want to do many of the same type forever. noted!

[cedar thunder]

The base building mod and the exos different skies and whatnot are so good.

I used a mod like 2 years ago that make exocraft a little faster and tweaked the minotaur camera and a few other things. Anyone know what that was?

[merry wasp]

keeps rereleasing the same inventory mod

[grave kelp]

Am new to this server, so it's perfectly fine to mod nms?

[fiery island]

#nms-modding

oh shit I forgot we are already in the channel lol

btw yes it's fully legal and fine

[flint trellis]

where do u find the mods btw ?

[fiery island]

Nexusmods

[grave kelp]

That is big pog frog, thancc ya obi wan

[fiery island]

you can use mods even while playing multiplayers, as long as you turning off the PvP

[grave kelp]

I mostly single player 99% of the time, when would you need to enable pvp?

[fiery island]

none, most people turned them off because they don't want accidentaly killing someone and avoiding griefers

[grave kelp]

This do be some bussin info, should've joined the server sooner

[flint trellis]

im on xbox game pass how do i find the gamedata file

[fiery island]

better late than never, I joined this server last february but I'm already playing this game for 3 years

[fiery island]

well about that, idk.... I don't own xbox

[flint trellis]

its for pc lol

the location i have it in is differnt

[round sinew]

you mean it's not under %LocalAppData%\Packages\?

[flint trellis]

its in my D drive

[round sinew]

so i guess that means that it's not installed on the default path, right?

[flint trellis]

its where i installed it on lol

[magic lava]

Do a search

Hello games

[flint trellis]

i already found it

[round sinew]

i was not aware that save files went in the same folder the game's get installed to

afaik/iirc, they don't

maybe that's diff for gamepass.

[flint trellis]

oh no the saves is on that path just where i installed the game was on my D drive

[round sinew]

thanks for the clarification

[flint trellis]

This is why i have it installed on my D drive lol

[round sinew]

unused space is wasted space

😛

you're doing good

[flint trellis]

What im gonna install with 2gb x3

[round sinew]

nothing, that's it, take a snapshot, move it to D: as a backup, call it a day 😄

[merry wasp]

@round sinew here you can always find the most upto date version of my script https://github.com/MetaIdea/nms-amumss-lua-mod-script-collection/tree/main/Jackty89/FoodProject

V2 obviously 😉

[round sinew]

😛

[merry wasp]

aha

well your better in git hen me 😄

still struggle with that stuff XD

[round sinew]

it's a treasure trove, that github repo 😄

[merry wasp]

haha

i got 2

[round sinew]

been learning a lot from everybody

[merry wasp]

if you use NMSMB

https://github.com/cmkushnir/NMSModBuilderContrib/tree/main/Scripts

there you cna find most of my scripts

[round sinew]

i have not tried that program yet

[merry wasp]

no food project yet

[merry wasp]

must have

even if you dont use it to make mods

[round sinew]

i started with amumss because that's what i was recommended 😄

[merry wasp]

great tool to look for ID's etc

[round sinew]

yeah, i think i downloaded a tarball at some point

[merry wasp]

ill give you an example 😉

[round sinew]

hey, that looks very useful 🙂

[merry wasp]

it most def is

also does conflict scanning

etc etc

https://github.com/cmkushnir/NMSModBuilder

might be a lot of info in 1 go

but i think a lot of modders use NMSMB to look up stuff

[round sinew]

done

[merry wasp]

not sure if runs on linux

anyway hows the script coming along?

or at least the understanding of it

[round sinew]

i got a windows vm where i can run that stuff

[round sinew]

right now i'm building up the idea of having wiki entries

like.. the ones we have in the catalog menu

[merry wasp]

for the new foods?

[round sinew]

and for existing ones

like

we got stuff in there that teaches players how to do combat, or survey, or craft, or whatever right

i wanted to add like recipes in there

like to have a place in game where i can refer to recipes

also, making a list of foods that do not display a food effect on the hover inventory menu

some do, some don't

[merry wasp]

that depens if they get assinged an affect

not sure if all doo

[round sinew]

they have an effect

when i eat them

[merry wasp]

lol

[round sinew]

HG probably just missed them

[merry wasp]

thats bug

XD

i aint fixing HG bugs :p

[round sinew]

yep

i can't leave it like that

[plush wigeon]

you know I'm just clicking on every one of these repo links riight? getting ready to tie up all my bandwidth cloning them all

[rapid sandal]

The github for nmsmb only includes the source for the common dll, not the exe yet. You'll have to download the release 7z from either github or nexus. It's built for win10 x64, don't think it will run on linux.
NMSMB comes with a couple mod scripts that create|modify recipes if you want to see how it's done e.g. Add_Recipe: https://github.com/cmkushnir/NMSModBuilderContrib/blob/main/Scripts/NMSMB/Mod/cmk/Add_Recipe.cs

[round sinew]

thanks for the heads up! i have a windows vm that i use when i'm unable to run certain software. i could try and get it under a wine bottle, you do state dependencies for the application. and thanks again for the tip on the recipes making 🙂

[cedar thunder]

_MOD_DUD_AiShipPlusMoreDamage_v3912 is pretty spicy. Definitely makes AI ship alooot tankier, almost too much

also forgot how amazing all of Exos mods are for visual terrain/sky changes

[fiery island]

DUD SKY makes my photo mode a little buggy

Sometimes when I try to take a photo (especially underwater), the focus suddenly goes to full or macro. I can't turn it off until I get out from the water

[steel crypt]

What mod from DUD'S SKY is causing the issue?
I can't recreate this and have never noticed it.
I can tell you that photo mode has a long list of bugs.

[fiery island]

DUD'S SKY - COLORS

It's fine btw, I don't do underwater photo too often

Can we use MO2 instead of nexus for nms mods?

MO2 is for skyrim only it looks like. Looks like a lot of manual installs in steam folder for nms

[hearty wasp]

I'd only suggest downloading with Vortex for version tracking and then extracting and installing the files manually

[round sinew]

hey

how much space would i need to unpack.. like, most of the needed things to mod, perhaps later DDS as well?

like for modding station, for example

need to grow my vm disk

not sure by how much

50G is the limit atm, but i'd be willing to allocate 100G max, would that be more than enough?

also, why the heck does windows take up so much space

[vale iron]

One sec, I'll check my folder size

@round sinew My unpacked folder is 28gb, but I deleted music, audio, and a couple of other folders. Most of that comes from models and textures

[round sinew]

thanks 🙂 yeah, so 100G would be enough i guess, won't have to resize again in a while i think

[vale iron]

I think 50gb would be enough if you only want to unpack, but 100g would work for sure

[round sinew]

i mean i'm at 48G used atm

and i really only have like pak filesfrom the game in it, because uh, amumss can't access them via smb

and yeah, some mbins i had to extract

[vale iron]

Yeah, 100gb then. I want to say the full unpacked game is in the high 30s, but I can't remember for sure

[round sinew]

yeah, just so there's some breathing room left i guess

because of being at 48G already, that's why i was asking why windows uses so much space 😅

[steel crypt]

If you don't plan to do sound or language stuff, you can unpack these highlighted folders and all the GLOBAL. files in the root, and it would be about 28GB

[round sinew]

ty!

[fiery island]

any good shader mods?

[round sinew]

heheh

[vale iron]

Only mod I can think of that uses shaders is ArghWater

[round sinew]

that, and Heatwave from Jason if you like scorched biomes

[fiery island]

hehehehehehehehehhehehehehehehehehe

[fiery island]

hmm I am already using this

[round sinew]

(because i imagined what would be Gumsk's answer)

[fiery island]

alright thanks, burger king 201

[vale iron]

Shaders are notoriously hard to mod since Vulkan came out

or rather since Vulkan was adopted

[fiery island]

hmm I see... my game already looks good tho. all maxed

I just wanted to use shader for photos

[round sinew]

then just reshade

iirc, there's reshade presets for nms in nexusmods

which you can then further tweak to your liking

[fiery island]

damn you burger king, I almost forgot the difference between shaders and reshade

so btw yeah I was actually asking about reshade, not shaders

[steel crypt]

yes big difference

[fiery island]

so uh, any good reshade mods?

[steel crypt]

Not sure. The modders usually don't mess with reshade.

[round sinew]

there's reshade presets for nms in nexusmods

[steel crypt]

There has been some for NMS though.

[round sinew]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/categories/3/

[steel crypt]

I didn't know this.

Reshade + NMS + my PC = fire🔥

[round sinew]

yeah, the more layers you add, the more expensive it will be

some layers are more expensive than others too

[opaque shell]

hey, does anyone know a mod for making the game run smoother, cuz i cant seem to run it on my pc.

[steel crypt]

@opaque shell The only ones I know are:
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1133
and a personal mod of mine for grass:

[merry wasp]

Smooth

[merry wasp]

@magic lava want a challenge?

should be finished for the most part, except for some balancing

[round sinew]

oh nice.

does it auto complete that early stage of awakenings?

[merry wasp]

it just skips the tuorial missions

kinda went of from an other mod for that

so cant say fo sure

all i know i dont have to repair my ship quest :d

don't have the time to do a full on test

hence

but if you're interested @round sinew here the script (NMSMB)

forgot you copied that repo too ;D

[round sinew]

yeah, i have seen one in there too 🙂

[magic lava]

Weeeeee

Combine that with winders realistic frigate and settlement times

[cedar thunder]

Damn no ship start sounds rough. Do you still spawn on a bad planet in survival?

[merry wasp]

ill take a look if i can turn those in cs scripts

[merry wasp]

every game start on a 'bad' planet

you do get the mino

[plush wigeon]

I'm assuming it's legit to scrape together units to buy a ship (this is not "no launch permitted")

[merry wasp]

nah

find crashed ship

easier

[plush wigeon]

but I mean, ship ownership is ok, just no starter.

[merry wasp]

i could add the option to give you some maps

[merry wasp]

it start 250k away

[cedar thunder]

Sheesh

[plush wigeon]

seems fun

[merry wasp]

and if for some bug it spawn close

all slot ar elik this

except for tech and cargo

which i cant alter

sadly

[plush wigeon]

I thought about doing a playthrough where the mining beam/adv mining laser and melee are not permitted. terrain manip is ok, no ship strafing for resources either

[merry wasp]

but tech has 1 or 2 slots cargo 1

[plush wigeon]

only problem is I really don't have the free hours as it is 😄

[merry wasp]

thats just grindy

[plush wigeon]

way behind on builds etc

it is but I think it could work

[merry wasp]

also still can use exco lasers

[plush wigeon]

nope

[merry wasp]

you said mining beam/adv laser

nothing about the exo lasers

XD

[plush wigeon]

lol

[merry wasp]

details

[plush wigeon]

spirit of the rule and the letter thanks 😛

[merry wasp]

nah i mean

it might be possible to spawn you witha mt with laser

no idea how you do shit

[plush wigeon]

carbon only from red crates or refining oxy or purchase once one has units

[merry wasp]

ferrite?

[plush wigeon]

getting the terrain manip set up would be the first hurdle

rusted metal -> ferrite dust

get that from green crates

[merry wasp]

with no refiner?

gl

[plush wigeon]

yep the refiner I guess would be first

[merry wasp]

but cant get that without metal plate

[plush wigeon]

well then we are back to how to get a few units to buy metal plates

[merry wasp]

well

i could make i think

no ship start apergos edition

life is hell edition

[plush wigeon]

sell off korvax casings or other crap from green crates

make a few paltry units for ferrite dust

craft metal plates

[merry wasp]

got have green crates in the first place

XD

[plush wigeon]

now have a refiner

yep lots of walking

[merry wasp]

well ill see if i can alter it and give you your fun

[plush wigeon]

staying alive from sodium, oxy, and heptaploid wheat and such

I'm on ps5, can't run with mods atm

but I have been trying the thought experiment

[merry wasp]

doesnt mean i can't do the script in the meantime :0

[plush wigeon]

no objections whatsoever!

[merry wasp]

hmm

sounds

interesting

aha found it @plush wigeon

want a scanner or not?

[plush wigeon]

scanner is ok

[merry wasp]

aw

[plush wigeon]

melee of plants/minerals is not ok, not sure how you turn that off (melee creatures/other is ok)

[merry wasp]

cant

unless i coudl disable melle

[plush wigeon]

player will just have to be on the honour system for that then

[merry wasp]

or reduce melee damage

idk

[plush wigeon]

eh just leave it

[merry wasp]

not that melee does lot of dmg

[plush wigeon]

just don't want people kicking rocks to get their ferrite dust 😛

[merry wasp]

ha

[merry wasp]

so yeah

should work

[plush wigeon]

bam!

[merry wasp]

i assume you go the lua for those

[merry wasp]

might do the trick if i set it to 0

idk

[plush wigeon]

hmm but then melee against other hostiles (creatures) would also be 0?

and I don't want that

[merry wasp]

well

tough luck

XD

[plush wigeon]

you wanna punch a trex? go ahead

[merry wasp]

i can start you of with a weapon tho

limited ammo

[plush wigeon]

huh

mebbe

gotta think about that one

[merry wasp]

fe

bolt caster

25 ammo

enough to kill an animal

not enough to (a lot)collect resources

maybe 1 ferrite rock

but gotte test that

[plush wigeon]

could be ok if the numbers are right

[merry wasp]

but then again melee vs wild life is dangerous XD

oh well think about it an lemme know

[plush wigeon]

I think I'd prefer melee off totally and have the weapon with tiny ammo yeah

just not sure of the cutoff number for the ammo

[merry wasp]

i think 15-25 ammo should cut it

so i assume you wouldn't like getting an exocraft?

[plush wigeon]

not unless acquired the slow way

(by unlock terrain manip, have dug up the salv data, have gotten units for a ship, have gotten to anomaly to buy plans)

[merry wasp]

yeah i get it

ill give the build becon tho

[plush wigeon]

I mean I guess if someplace sold enough salv data

[merry wasp]

otherwise you're stuck XD

[plush wigeon]

the which, sorry?

[merry wasp]

the portable build beacon

or whatver its called

[plush wigeon]

save beacon?

[merry wasp]

no

[plush wigeon]

drawing a blank

[merry wasp]

sec

tryign to find what its called

[merry wasp]

Construction Research Unit

[plush wigeon]

ohhh! right

lemme look at the trees for that

[merry wasp]

i add all the unlock to it tho

so you can basically buy everything at it

[plush wigeon]

meh I can't find the tree anyways in my screenshots, only the ones from the anomaly

[merry wasp]

but that can be disabled

basically it

terminal, wooden parts

[plush wigeon]

I think let's keep it with the usual small tree of stuff

[merry wasp]

sure thing

seems i never added it

as you can build it anyway

unless you make a base

XD

i did add a base pc

but i assume you dont want that

go find your copper

[plush wigeon]

don't want bc in the suit no, do want blueprint known

[merry wasp]

gotcha cover on that

you dont start off with aterrain mani tho

unless you need that

[plush wigeon]

I think I want again the blueprint known for terrain manip

but not have one

[merry wasp]

well that done already

[plush wigeon]

perfect

[merry wasp]

cause normally you get that through tutorial

[plush wigeon]

yeah which ain't happening here

[merry wasp]

@hearty wasp sauce #nms-modding message

i found the fleet realtime ;D

[hearty wasp]

it's all in that lua

[merry wasp]

oh

alrighty

[hearty wasp]

if you open it you can see it

[merry wasp]

aha

i see

ok

the fck

[hearty wasp]

like a couple months build time

[merry wasp]

fo real

[hearty wasp]

yeah

[merry wasp]

well

[hearty wasp]

what do you think real time means

[merry wasp]

i could also add slower movement speed

no starter ship witha max run speed of 1u sec

XD

hf

[plush wigeon]

nothanks 😄

[merry wasp]

you sure you want scanner?

[magic lava]

My expedition is back in like 500 days

Speedy!

[merry wasp]

cause deonstructing it give 75 ferrite dust

[plush wigeon]

yeah I think we should have it

can you make it so it's not deconstructable?

[merry wasp]

i could

or i could maybe decrese the decontruct cost

could look into it

[plush wigeon]

1 ferrite dust 😄

[merry wasp]

otherwise 20 ammo is half a boltcaster mag

[plush wigeon]

right

[merry wasp]

didnt try shooting ground with it yet

you can destroy 1 rock
